In the library, Chen Yi set down the book in his hand, Mage Apprentice Essentials (3). The Game World notified him that it was time to enter a game.

He picked up the book and walked to the Front Desk. "Teacher Cat, can I borrow this book?"

No One was seated at the Front Desk. Instead, there was a chubby-looking tabby cat that, judging by its weight, definitely would not lose to the Orange Cat.

Teacher Cat opened its eyes in displeasure. Didn't he know that naps were important to cats?!

Still, Teacher Cat forgave Chen Yi. After All, it was a very dedicated cat.

It stretched lazily, trying to lengthen itself like an ordinary cat, but the fat around its waist kept jiggling.

The notebook pinned beneath Teacher Cat hurriedly flew up and opened on its own without any wind. A feather pen dipped in ink swept across the pages, making a record.

"Kid Yi is going into a game, right?"

Though it was a question, it was phrased like a statement.

Teacher Cat had worked as the library's Front Desk for a long time and knew more about the Game World than Chen Yi did.

"The deposit for this book is 100 Copper Coins. Will you pay in Copper Coins or use an item of equivalent value as collateral?"

Chen Yi still had some Copper Coins left, but after his recent spending in the arena, leaving the deposit would make him completely broke.

Game begins

Chen Yi vanished from the library with the book. The tabby cat known as Teacher Cat curled up again, pressing the unwilling notebook beneath itself. It looked like it was preparing to recover the drowsiness it had lost Just Now.

"Blegh!"

Feeling the world spin, Chen Yi crouched on the ground and dry-heaved. Couldn't the Game World be a little gentler during Teleportation?!

There were twenty-five people participating in the game at the same time. Although some found Chen Yi's reaction strange, none paid him much attention.

Location: Plants vs. Zombies World Mission: Survive for four days Zombies have Appeared around Dave's House from all directions. Defend Dave's House while protecting your own brain. Recommended level: 10–13. Mission reward: 500 Copper Coins, green weapon box.

"Seems this is a bonus stage. The rewards really are generous."

"Indeed. With the plants helping us, we could easily complete the mission even without so many Players."

He Dasen, carrying a cross, stepped forward. "Everyone, quiet down. I'm He Dasen from the Iron Fist Guild. Are there any fellow guild members participating in this game?"

Mu Qingna, dressed in a figure-hugging Qipao, called out as well. "I'm Mu Qingna from the Rose Guild. Are there any sisters from my guild?"

For a time, the Players searched for members of their own guilds. Those without a guild, as well as Rōnin, also sought out a faction they favored and temporarily joined them.

"What class are you?"

"Mage."

"How do you prove you're a Mage?"

Chen Yi Raised the Staff. After 1.5 seconds, a fireball Appeared.

He Dasen welcomed Chen Yi.

At this level, people generally would not spend money on unneeded weapons or learn skills outside their Main Attribute just to conceal their identities.

There was no other reason—they were broke right after changing classes!

Aside from Chen Yi, the Players present were basically between levels 10 and 12. For quite a few of them, this was their first game after changing classes.

The Players naturally split into two teams, led respectively by He Dasen of the Iron Fist Guild and Mu Qingna of the Rose Guild.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, Chen Yi silently hid at the back. He pretended to be experienced, but in truth, he simply followed wherever the other Players went.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

This was a common way for Players to form teams. Players from their own guild were prioritized, followed by members of major guilds.

Players from major guilds had access to much more information than ordinary people, so they were generally chosen as team leaders by default.

In the Game World, Rōnin usually had no say.

Preparation time has ended Language function enabled. Chat channel opened.

The shield protecting everyone vanished. He Dasen and Mu Qingna Walked out toward the only house nearby. There was no need to guess whose it was.

"Ding-dong~"

As the two team leaders prepared to speak with Dave, Chen Yi quietly examined his surroundings.

The sun was bright today, yet for some reason, he felt no warmth on his body. After experiencing Flame Hell, Chen Yi had become very sensitive to temperature.

There were no plants growing in Dave's Yard. Had Dave cleared them all away after repelling the Zombie attack?

There were no Trees around the house to block the view, leaving the surroundings wide open. But that was precisely what made it strange. The ground here was completely bare, so where would the Zombies come from when they attacked?

When playing the game, he had only seen the yard from a fixed perspective, so he had never felt anything unusual. But now that he had truly arrived in Dave's Yard, everything about it felt eerie.

"Bang!"

The door slammed heavily against the wall. Dave, his eyes bloodshot, Walked out of the house. It was obvious that he was not in good condition.

Mu Qingna said, "Hello, Mr. Dave..."

Before she could finish, Dave directly threw an arm around both team leaders. "Oh, my friends, warriors from another world, you're finally here!"

He Dasen and Mu Qingna exchanged a glance. This World's plot was Not Right compared to the guild records.

"Ruaaah!!! Those Damn it Zombies keep attacking my house! I haven't slept for a very, very long time. So you'll definitely protect my house and let me get some sleep, right? Hahaha, I knew it."

Dave released the two of them and continued talking to himself. When he got excited, he even spun around happily in place.

"You know, these Zombies are actually interested in a madman's brain. I say those Zombies must be crazy too."

"And I Don't Know which *** installed three extra doors in my house. Now the Zombies can come running from four directions! Oh!~ My poor brain."

"If I find out which *** did it, I'll stuff his head into a toilet!"

Mu Qingna's red lips parted slightly. She was clearly still the same person, yet she had become even more alluring.

The eyes of the Players clung to her as if drawn by magnets.

Facing those Burning Sensation gazes calmly, Mu Qingna wore a sorrowful expression. "Mr. Dave, rest assured, we'll definitely help you. It's just... I wonder if there's anything that could help us?"

Player Mu Qingna used Charm Skill. Mental power check failed. Player Chen Yi is immune to this Charm Skill.

An indiscriminate Charm Skill!

Chen Yi felt a lingering fear. If not for the Mental power check, he definitely would have fallen for it. As expected, he could not underestimate these Players.

Dave showed no reaction to the Charm Skill. Instead, his head drooped again and again, as though he were about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, his eyes flew wide open. "You're looking for help from a madman? Ahahahahahaha! As expected of my friends."

"But... I'm just a madman! Waaah, ruaa!"

As the Corner of the Mouth of Mu Qingna's mouth twitched involuntarily, Dave shut the door.

Would any real madman say he was a madman?

The moment the door closed, a notification from the Game World suddenly sounded In Mind.

Ding! Mission activated Players in this world have been wiped out many times. Find the cause of the problem. Mission reward: Determined by completion rate.
