After the Zombie King died, it left behind a pile of Copper Coins, a treasure chest emitting blue light, and a scroll.

Looking at the blue light, even Chen Yi, who was close to his limit, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The Zombie Doctor, who had been thrown aside, did not mourn the Zombie King's death. Instead, it cursed it as Trash from the side.

"I already upgraded you, why did you still lose to this kind of ***? Do you know how much effort I put into you..."

Chen Yi was not in a hurry to kill the Zombie Doctor. He closed his eyes and lay on the ground, relaxing his nerves.

There were two quests this time: one was to protect Dave's Home for 4 days, and the other was to find the cause of the anomaly and resolve the Zombie Doctor.

To complete Quest 1, the Zombie King had to be dealt with, otherwise, it would be impossible to hold out for 4 days.

To complete Quest 2, Chen Yi had ways to bypass the Zombie King and kill the Zombie Doctor.

Ignite: Casts a continuous skill damage on a single enemy target, dealing 24 True Damage within 5s, and reducing the target's healing and recovery effects. CD: 300s.

The damage of Ignite was based on Chen Yi's understanding of fire. It was only after staying in Flame Hell until his mind was hazy that he managed to increase this skill's damage to 24 points.

But this was True Damage, and it was a targeted skill!

Therefore, killing the Zombie Doctor was never a problem. The difficulty lay in how to maximize the benefits.

The First Time Chen Yi was knocked away by the Zombie King, he realized that the Zombie King was not something he could face head-on. He had wanted to see if other Players had any solutions, but the Players had all run away.

Dealing with the Zombie King and the Zombie Doctor Alone?

What a joke!

Just as Chen Yi was preparing to fight to the death, he discovered that the Zombie King would intentionally block the fireballs to protect the Zombie Doctor. Chen Yi felt that this battle was not without a chance of victory, and as it turned out, Chen Yi was right.

The reason for the Zombie King's failure was that the Zombie Doctor was too fragile.

"As expected, a Player who can tank and deal damage is a good Mage."

After resting for a while, Chen Yi stood up again: "How did you know about us?"

Facing imminent death, the Zombie Doctor did not show any fear: "Of course, because I am the great Zombie Doctor!"

"Is that so? Then I'll take your word for it."

This was just Chen Yi's casual question. This World was too big and had too many secrets, and he was too weak. Sometimes, not knowing was not a bad thing.

Two fireballs flew directly towards the Zombie Doctor. In the last moment before its death, the Zombie Doctor's eyes were filled with confusion. The sense of déjà vu appeared again.

It seemed like it was not the First Time it had died...

"Boom!"

EXP+2

[Ding! Mission Complete]

After the Zombie Doctor died, he left behind a small amount of Copper Coins and a scroll.

This made Chen Yi somewhat curious, did this World mass-produce scrolls?

He picked up the items dropped by the Zombie King and Zombie Doctor.

[Obtained 4322 Copper Coins]

[Obtained Blue Treasure Chest x1]

[Obtained Zombie King creation scroll]

[Obtained Zombie Doctor creation scroll]

There was nothing much to say about the Copper Coins, Chen Yi felt the more the better, as there were still 4 more Underground Bases waiting for him to clear out later.

[Blue Treasure Chest]

32% chance to obtain Green Item, 58% chance to obtain Blue Item, 7% chance to obtain Purple Item... 0.1% chance to obtain Item Above Purple.

Evaluation: Certified by Game World

The item was good, but whenever it involved probability, Chen Yi would get a little nervous. He put the item away for now and would open it after returning to the Game World.

Afterward, he looked at the two scrolls.

[Zombie King creation scroll]

Quality: Blue

It described the method for creating a Zombie King. A Zombie Doctor had added his own understanding to it. The Zombie King's level and attributes were related to the amount of materials used. It could raise at most two main attributes to 49 points.

Materials: Corpse, Corundum, Copper Coins...

Chen Yi hesitated whether to sell this item.

He had not forgotten the power of the Zombie King. Having such a tank blocking in front would significantly increase Chen Yi's safety.

However, the Zombie King's size and attributes limited its future. This item was destined to be strong only in the early game.

When Chen Yi reached level 20 and his attributes broke through 50, the Zombie King would be obsolete.

[Zombie Doctor Creation Scroll]

Quality: Green

It details Zombie Doctor's creation method. As the wisest among the zombies, he can help you command zombies, making them understand your intentions.

Materials: Corpse, Wisdom Fruit, Copper Coin...

Seeing this, Chen Yi no longer hesitated. The best way to deal with these two scrolls was to sell them together.

A Zombie King that couldn't communicate was utterly useless!

Afterward, Chen Yi sat on the ground and meditated, waiting for the flames in the Underground Base to extinguish.

He didn't know what was wrong with the world. It should have been 'nighttime' already, but the sun was still high in the sky, showing no signs of leaving.

Chen Yi glanced at the panel. Mission 1 was not displayed as completed.

The Experience Bar still flickered from time to time, indicating that there were still zombies not dead in the Underground Base.

After an unknown amount of time, the world suddenly fell silent, as if even the wind had been frozen.

Dave, inside the house, opened his eyes. He was still as unkempt as ever, but he appeared... terrifying. Just looking at him gave one the feeling of being swallowed by an unknown horror.

Yet, this Dave was trapped in a world that felt like a joke.

Golden characters suddenly appeared, as if branded onto the void.

[You lost]

[Contract begins execution]

Dave sighed inwardly. The Game World was not something he could contend with. This contract was for another 100 years.

When would he be able to break free from the contract and gain true freedom?

However, sometimes it wasn't too bad. At least he didn't have to face the threats from the void...

Dave closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had reverted to the erratic, madman Dave.

The outside world began to change without the intervention of the Game World. The Underground Base was leveled, the traces of battle were covered by soil, all sorts of zombies appeared, and ordinary seeds mutated repeatedly under some power.

With a pillar of light, a new batch of Players arrived in this world.

"It's the Plants vs. Zombies World. Looks like good luck."

"They say although the zombie drop rate in this world is poor, there's a chance to obtain special Plant Seeds."

"The drop rate is bad, and you don't even have to fight yourself. You're still complaining about the welfare dungeon..."

"I heard from people in the guild that this world seems to have changed its gameplay..."

Actually, Zombie Doctor said one thing wrong. The number of times Players had come to this world wasn't 152, but 119,452.

His déjà vu was because the Abyss Power had repaired Zombie Doctor's corpse, and Dave had played along with the plan and chosen him.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe it was just renamed!
