Blue Item

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

Seeing that blue light, even Chen Yi, who was nearing his limit, could not help but feel excited.

The Zombie Doctor, who had been flung aside, did not feel Sad over the Zombie King's death. Instead, he cursed it for being useless.

"You were clearly upgraded already, so why did you still lose to this piece of shit? Do you know how much effort I put into you..."

Chen Yi was in no hurry to kill the Zombie Doctor. He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, easing his strained nerves.

There were two parts to this mission: protect Dave's Home for four days, and find the cause of the anomaly before dealing with the Zombie Doctor.

To complete Mission 1, he had to deal with the Zombie King. Otherwise, there was no way he could hold out for four days.

To complete Mission 2, Chen Yi was not without a way to bypass the Zombie King and kill the Zombie Doctor.

Ignite: Cast continuous skill damage on a single enemy target, dealing 24 points of True Damage over 5 seconds and reducing the target's healing and recovery effects. CD: 300s.

The damage of Ignite depended on Chen Yi's understanding of flames. He had stayed in Flame Hell until his mind had nearly gone numb before raising the skill's damage to 24 points.

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

So killing the Zombie Doctor had never been the problem. The difficult part was figuring out how to maximize his gains.

The first time the Zombie King sent him flying, Chen Yi realized that the Zombie King was not an opponent he could face head-on. He had planned to see whether the other players had any solutions, but they had all run away.

Take on the Zombie King and the Zombie Doctor alone?

What a joke!

Just as Chen Yi was preparing to risk his life, he discovered that the Zombie King would deliberately block the fireballs to protect the Zombie Doctor. Chen Yi felt that this battle was not without a chance of victory, and the facts proved him right.

The reason the Zombie King had failed was because the Zombie Doctor was too fragile.

"Sure enough, a player who can both take hits and deal damage is a good mage."

After resting briefly, Chen Yi stood up again. "How did you know about us?"

With death looming over him, the Zombie Doctor still did not look afraid. "Of course, because I am the great Zombie Doctor!"

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

Chen Yi had only asked casually. This world was too vast and held too many secrets, while he himself was still too weak. Sometimes, not knowing was not necessarily a bad thing.

Two fireballs shot straight toward the Zombie Doctor. In the final moment before his death, confusion filled his eyes, and that sense of déjà vu appeared again.

It seemed as though he had not died for the first time...

Boom!

EXP+2

Ding! Mission completed

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

Chen Yi could not help feeling curious. Did this world mass-produce scrolls?

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

Obtained Copper Coins x4322

Obtained Blue Treasure Chest x1

Obtained Zombie King creation scroll

Obtained Zombie Doctor creation scroll

There was nothing much to say about Copper Coins. Chen Yi believed the more, the better. There were still four Underground Bases waiting for him to clean up.

Blue Treasure Chest

32% chance to obtain a green item, 58% chance to obtain a blue item, 7% chance to obtain a Purple Item... 0.1% chance to obtain an item above Purple Item quality.

Evaluation: Certified by the Game World Certification

It was good stuff, but Chen Yi always felt uneasy whenever probability was involved. He put it away first and planned to open it after returning to the Game World.

Chen Yi then looked at the two scrolls.

Zombie King creation scroll

Quality: Blue

It recorded 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, and at most, two Main Attributes could be raised to 49 points.

Materials: corpse, corundum, Copper Coins...

Chen Yi hesitated over whether to sell this item.

He had not forgotten how powerful the Zombie King was. With such a meat shield standing in front of him, Chen Yi's safety would increase considerably.

But the Zombie King's size and attributes limited its future. This item was destined to be powerful only in the early stages.

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

Zombie Doctor creation scroll

Quality: Green

It recorded the method for creating a Zombie Doctor. As one of the wise ones among zombies, he could help command zombies and make them understand what you meant.

Materials: corpse, Wisdom Fruit, Copper Coins...

Seeing this, Chen Yi no longer hesitated. The best option was to bundle the two scrolls together and sell them.

A Zombie King that could not be communicated with was completely useless!

Chen Yi then sat on the ground to meditate, waiting for the flames in the Underground Base to go out.

He did not know what had gone wrong with the world. It should already have been nighttime, yet the sun still hung high in the sky without any sign of setting.

Chen Yi glanced at the panel. Mission 1 had not shown as completed.

The experience bar was still occasionally jumping. It seemed there were still zombies alive in the Underground Base.

No one knew how much time had passed when the world suddenly fell silent. Even the wind seemed to have been frozen.

Inside the house, Dave opened his eyes. He was clearly still as disheveled as before, yet he seemed... 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 words suddenly appeared, as though they had been branded into the void.

You lost.

The contract begins execution.

Dave sighed inwardly. The Game World was not something he could fight against, and this contract would last another hundred years.

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

Still, this was not so bad sometimes. At least he did not have to face the threats lurking in the void...

Dave closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had returned to being that deranged Dave. He was a madman.

The outside world began changing without the Game World's intervention. The Underground Bases were flattened, traces of battle were buried beneath the soil, all kinds of zombies appeared, and ordinary seeds continuously mutated under some unknown power.

As a pillar of light descended, a new batch of players arrived in this world.

"It's actually Plants vs. Zombies World. Looks like we got lucky."

"I heard that although the zombies in this world have terrible drop rates, there's a chance to obtain special Plant Seeds."

"Bad drop rates? You don't even need to fight yourself. It's a welfare stage, and you're still complaining..."

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

Actually, the Zombie Doctor had gotten one thing wrong. Players had not come to this world 152 times, but 119,452 times.

His sense of déjà vu was because Abyss Power had restored the Zombie Doctor's corpse, and Dave had merely gone along with it and chosen him.
