"So, is the teacher really not going to show up?"
These onlookers left messages under Shi Huazhe’s Weibo. They were all about the excitement. Several publicly and insincere messages were topped up, and soon hundreds of likes were received.
Shi Huazhe did not post on Weibo. He also knew the consequences of posting on Weibo, so he could only play dead. But not posting Weibo doesn’t mean that he doesn’t read Weibo. Seeing these people ridicule his Weibo, Shi Huazhe is so angry, but there is no way. The results of "Plants vs. Zombies" are so good. It is too weak to criticize it!
In the face of this kind of sales and this kind of word-of-mouth, he jumped out and sang the opposite, but he had to take care of the risk of being sprayed with blood. Shi Huazhe was a thief, so he wouldn't come out and die at this time.
"This kid is so lucky? Why do you make one and burst one? Okay, I bear it, I really don't believe it, can you still maintain such a high level?!"
Shi Huazhe is determined to play dead.
Netizens teased on his Weibo, and when he saw that he didn't mean to respond at all, they forgot about it.

Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, I can't forget you."
Lin Mao also called to congratulate: "Okay, Chen Mo, I thought your game would be popular before, and it has the potential to explode. I didn't expect it to be like this! It’s awesome, it’s awesome!"
Chen Mo said: "Your game is also good, and when I look at it, I'm second in the new roster."

Lin Mao was taken aback: "Huh? What do you want? This game is on fire right now. Don't you hurry up and strike while the iron is hot and come to "Plants vs. Zombies 2"?"
Chen Mo said: "You are only 2, I am not going to make a puzzle game for the next paragraph."
Lin Mao puzzled: "Why? You make money and have a reputation. You are good at it, why not do it?"
Chen Mo said: "This is not a good explanation, in short, I am actually not very optimistic about this type. I won't say much, I will eat together another day."
