In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Just as Mo Chen was admiring the group of plant spirit warriors training hard, Xiao Da suddenly teleported to his side.

"Let's go, Mo Chen, the application has been approved."

Xiao Da jumped up and patted Mo Chen on the shoulder, her tone particularly excited.

"Application? What application?"

Mo Chen didn't react for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Da Bao, do you mean the application to recruit the Corn Pitcher Plant Spirit and the Watermelon Pitcher Plant Spirit?"

You guessed right!

Xiao Da playfully gave her homeowner a thumbs-up, then turned and pretended to leave: "Hurry up and go to the teleporter, get ready to welcome our new member of the War Courtyard!"

Mo Chen smiled and shook his head. He was about to follow Xiao Da ahead when he saw her suddenly stop, as if she had remembered something important.

Xiao Da lowered her voice, her expression becoming somewhat serious: "Speaking of which, I always feel there's something strange about this matter."

Mo Chen frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

"Not long ago, the 59th Army of the Federation said that the battle in the outer courtyard was critical and they did not have enough firepower personnel to send to the inner courtyard."

Xiao Da stroked her chin and said confidently, "But how long has it been? The application was approved so quickly, and they're in such a hurry to send someone over. There might be something fishy going on."

"Uh... I think the reason is quite obvious."

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen's smile faltered slightly, and he quickly made a shushing gesture.

They then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to their conversation before they breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his finger and drew a five-pointed star in the air in front of Xiao Da's eyes.

Staring at the pattern for a moment, Xiao Da helplessly rubbed her forehead, her face showing an expression of regret that said, "How could I have forgotten about this?"

"Oh, I see, so that's how it is."

She muttered under her breath, "They're probably worried about the safety of that Starlight Princess. After all, Zone 59 is in a precarious situation right now, and if the Aethera family gets dragged into it..."

With a silent sigh, Xiao Da glanced at Mo Chen with a complicated expression: "A big shot has just arrived in our courtyard. The Federal military will naturally try every means to strengthen our overall strength, even if it means diverting troops that were already stretched thin. I didn't think this through."

"So what does this mean for us? Is it a blessing in disguise? Or a blessing in disguise?"

Mo Chen made a lighthearted joke, then comforted them, "It's alright, don't overthink it. As long as it's beneficial to our courtyard No. 5905, who cares about anything else? Let's go, the new member is waiting for us."

······

The teleporter restarted, and the spacetime rift slowly opened. Mo Chen, who was no longer surprised by this, stood in his old spot and skillfully began to wait for the two plant spirit warriors to arrive.

First, let's talk about the Corn Pitcher. In the game, this plant can carry the entire game.

You can either throw a corn kernel that deals the same damage as a pea, or throw a block of butter that can immobilize enemies.

If you're lucky enough to throw butter every time, even the terrifying giant zombie will be stuck in place, unable to move forward.

In the modern world, corn pitchers are all excellent field controllers.

Like most pitchers, they are fond of using grenade launchers, firing incredibly sticky "butter grenades" to make it impossible for the enemy to move.

As for the Watermelon Pitcher, this plant is undoubtedly the representative of heavy firepower in the game.

They continuously throw out large, thin-skinned watermelons that can cause splash damage, making them extremely effective at dealing area-of-effect damage.

As the "firepower of firepower", the watermelon pitcher, Zyō, uses a handheld heavy grenade launcher as his grenade weapon.

With a full set of heavy armor, he could easily cosplay as a heavily armored soldier on the set next door.

With high HP, high attack, and high defense, it has almost no weaknesses except for the excessive amount of sunlight energy required to summon creatures.

After recruiting Corn Pitcher and Watermelon Pitcher, the roof defense of Courtyard 5905 has been greatly improved.

In this way, only three more spirit warriors need to be recruited before advancing to the first-tier ultimate courtyard.

The first to emerge from the time rift was a petite little girl wearing a Prussian military helmet and a light green military uniform.

She had a beautiful face, delicate features, and a high chin that revealed her fair and graceful swan neck.

Those eyes were a clear emerald green, like two carefully polished emeralds.

The girl's hair was an almost dazzling, honey-glossy gold, neatly gathered together with a cyan hairband and tied into a sleek high ponytail.

What she carried on her shoulder was a grenade launcher that was entirely gilded, the gilding being very flamboyant and matching the girl's hair color.

However, compared to ordinary plant spirit warriors, this child exuded an extraordinary noble temperament in every gesture.

It wasn't Mila's elegant, almost impeccable demeanor, but rather an innate arrogance.

The girl slightly raised her chin, glanced indifferently at Mo Chen in front of her, then let out a soft hum, her eyes drifting away.

"Hmph, so this is courtyard number 5905?"

Her voice was beautiful, yet it carried an undisguised air of reserve and arrogance.

Raising her free hand, she casually straightened her hairband, a hint of awkwardness in her voice: "Although it looks a bit shabby, it's barely acceptable. At least it's a little better than the Federal 59th Army's base."

[This appearance, this tone of voice, could it be... a tsundere?]

As Mo Chen thought this, a hint of curiosity and amusement appeared in his eyes.

Seemingly sensing Mo Chen's gaze, the girl's cheeks flushed an unnatural red. She deliberately raised her voice, trying to hide her shyness: "Hey, you, you must be the owner of courtyard number 5905! Can you show some respect with your eyes! Although I know my beauty is unparalleled, staring like this is extremely rude!"

As she spoke, the girl slammed the grenade launcher on her shoulder heavily onto the ground.

"Listen up, my name is Fakatenia Gold, a corn pitcher plant spirit with fifth-tier plant spirit power, a warrant officer rank, a field controller, and the supreme bloodline of the Gold family flows in my veins!"

She walked up to Mo Chen without any hesitation, put her hands on her hips, and her eyes gleamed with confidence: "Although I can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury, I don't want to live such a boring life! This is one of the reasons why I enlisted in the army with my sister."

At this point, the corn pitcher plant spirit named Fakatenia suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes dimmed for a moment.

But soon, she reverted to her arrogant demeanor.

Slinging the grenade launcher back on her shoulder, Fakatenia looked intently at Mo Chen, her tone laced with a hint of provocation and a hidden expectation: "So, Master, are you satisfied with my self-introduction? Let me make it clear, as a direct descendant of the Golden Family, I am very picky."
