I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Back in the courtyard, Chen Yang didn't rush to plant the thorns.

His current planting limit is still three plants.

You can plant one more plant only during the next upgrade.

After tossing the spike card into the box, Chen Yang was a little bored and started chatting in the chat channel.

"What the heck is this new list?"

"Garden Ranking?"

"How come Mei Chuan Kuzi, who's ranked first, is only at the third-level garden level?!"

"It takes 100,000 suns to upgrade from level two to level three. Where did he get so many suns?"

"Umekawa Kuko? A great opportunity!"

"Take this out."

"I hope I'm not the only one still at level one QAQ..."

Garden rankings?

Chen Yang then noticed a leaderboard button on the panel.

Clicking on them reveals three lists:

Garden Ranking

Plant Power Ranking

Endless Frenzy Ranking

At this moment, the Endless Frenzy Ranking was completely blank.

The other two lists both ranked in the top 1,000.

On the garden level leaderboard, apart from Meichuan Kuzi who is in first place, all the other players have level 2 gardens.

On the plant combat power ranking, Chen Yang actually found his own name.

...

Chen Yang, ranked 999th

Plants: Potted Aeonium

Combat strength: 55

...

My own little magician in a flowerpot actually made it onto the list.

Chen Yang was somewhat moved.

After all, this is a plant that can grow infinitely.

Making it onto the list so early was somewhat unexpected for Chen Yang.

What are the other plants?

Chen Yang glanced at the list and found that apart from the Machine Gunner in 8th place, all the other plants were names he had never heard of.

Peas, sunflowers, cherry shooters, carnivorous plants, nuts, and the like.

The top-ranked plant is the Destruction Mushroom Archer, whose combat power has exceeded 1,000.

The plant Chen Yang recognized as the second was Liu Yan's Enchanting Mushroom Shooter.

"What the heck is this first place...?"

"One launch, one Destroyer Mushroom?"

"This is too perverted!"

How can I get this plant? Why do I only have the basic plants from the original game?

At this moment, the player whose avatar was marked as No. 1 on the Plant Battle Power Ranking spoke in the channel.

"Damn, don't even mention it!"

"This Destruction Mushroom Archer may sound fierce..."

"but..."

"Actually, it's even more powerful!"

"Hahahaha, one shot and no zombie can stand a chance!"

The chat channel fell into an unusual silence, and it took a long time before someone finally spoke.

"He's so despicable..."

"Damn, why is he so lucky?"

"Help! How can I kill a Destroyer Mushroom?"

"It's alright, he's only being arrogant for a short time!"

"Hey buddy upstairs, do you have anything to say about this?"

"Everyone knows that this world is quite realistic, unlike in games. But most people don't know that ash-type plants can harm other plants!"

"He can't plant any other plants in front of him, and the later it goes, the more disadvantageous it becomes for him."

"I can testify, that damn cherry bomb I used at noon today blew up both the zombie and my wall-nut! Ugh, I'm so regretful..."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow when he saw the message.

It turns out that explosive plants can also damage other plants.

"Me too! The cherry bomb blew up my sunflower QAQ."

"I'll put out a fiery chili pepper, and half my pants will burn!"

"Hahaha, sympathy +1"

"+2"

"+"

While watching the TV, I basked in the sunlight in the yard.

As darkness fell, Chen Yang's sunlight finally broke through the 3000 mark.

A level 1 garden upgrade requires exactly 3000 sun.

What are the effects of a level 2 garden?

Chen Yang was very curious.

[Use 3000 Suns to upgrade Garden to Level 1?]

confirm.

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out.

Three choices appeared before Chen Yang.

Please select the garden upgrade effect:

[Stroller Home]

Effect: You can deploy an extra cart on each route, and you can actively activate the cart.

[Zombie Paradise]

Effect: Zombies will dance wildly when they enter your yard, let's rock!!

[Wizard-like thinking]

Effect: Doubles the spell power of plants in your garden.

Chen Yang looked at the three upgrade effects in front of him and began to think.

First, exclude [Zombie Paradise].

He simply didn't understand the significance of this bonus effect.

Make the zombies dance?

You're having a concert in the garden, right?

Only someone with a screw loose would choose this option.

Of the other two upgrade effects, [Little Cart Home] doesn't offer much help to him at this stage.

The reason can be summed up in one word: poverty.

A small cart costs 10,000 suns, and it's a one-time use item.

It's estimated that only players who have incredible luck at the start and get the double-headed sunflower will be able to choose this bonus.

Chen Yang decisively rejected the first two bonuses.

He only had one choice left.

That's the [Wizard-like thinking] that doubles spell power.

This [Wizard-like thinking] is practically tailor-made for the Flowerpot Wizard.

Stack spell power infinitely, and then double it with another spell power!

Chen Yang didn't even dare to imagine how terrifying this potted little wizard would become in the future.

Just you!

With a flick of his finger, a powerful force instantly enveloped his courtyard.

Mysterious magical runes floated throughout the courtyard.

The little flowerpot wizard suddenly felt a powerful force enveloping him, and his body began to glow with tiny blue lights.

Lava Nut and Dawn Garlic also noticed the strange thing about the flowerpot and exchanged puzzled glances.

Nuts: OO? (What's going on, bro?)

Garlic: oo? (I can't get there, bro)

In less than half a day, the two plants had become familiar with each other.

But neither of the brothers possessed any magical power and had no idea what was happening.

The little flowerpot wizard felt a continuous surge of magical power, and his talent was being amplified by some mysterious force.

His dark eyes glanced sideways at Chen Yang, his gaze full of approval, as if praising Chen Yang for making the right choice.

[Little Wizard in a Flowerpot]

Level 1

Spell Power: 30 (15 * 2 [Wizard's Thinking])

Armor: 0

Blood volume: 50

skill:

Extraordinary Evil: Attacks deal damage equal to one spell power. Increases spell power by one point for each zombie killed.

After reviewing the Flowerpot Wizard's stats, Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction.

it is good!

Our little monk has the potential to become an emperor!

Chen Yang spent the rest of the day wandering the streets.

Visiting other players' courtyards.

After going around in circles, Chen Yang realized that players with talent were ultimately a minority.

Most players use the most basic plants.

Of ten gardens, at least nine use the regular Peashooter.

"I've been so focused on the plant power rankings that I almost forgot that ordinary players are the majority in this world."

Chen Yang sighed.

As Chen Yang passed Garden No. 67, his attention was involuntarily drawn to it.

The reason is simple: this woman... cough cough, her nut is just too big.

Every time he passed by, Chen Yang would give this tall nut a long, respectful look.

A man and a woman were standing in the garden.

The woman was wearing large gold earrings.

When Chen Yang came to his senses, he realized that the man was none other than Lin An, the number one player in their area.

The two are talking in the garden.

"Brother An~"

Just that one sharp sound gave Chen Yang, who was passing by, goosebumps all over.

Lin An seemed to be enjoying himself as he responded to the woman.

"Brother An, you're definitely the strongest man in our area now!"

"Brother, you promised me a plant card last night~"

"Hahaha, it's right in my yard. Come back to my room and get it..."

"I knew Brother An was the best..."

Chen Yang overheard this conversation and felt terrible.

It's true that people's hearts have changed, and the world is going to the dogs.

Can't we just farm in peace anymore?!

slip away.

Chen Yang quickly returned to his garden.

However, before Chen Yang could even enter, he discovered that his garden was different from when he left.

"Ok?"

"What is this stuff?"

Rubbing his eyes, Chen Yang looked again.

A tombstone inexplicably appeared in the square between the Lava Nut and the Dawn Garlic.

What the hell?

I was only gone for a short while, and someone died here?

"Did you do this? Did you dig too much mud?" Chen Yang asked, looking at Lava Nut.

Lava Nut blinked its big eyes, indicating that it didn't know what had happened either; the tombstone appeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's really weird."

He opened the status bar and was shocked to find that the countdown to the next wave of attacks had been moved up by twelve hours!

The first two waves of attacks started exactly at noon!

This time the time was brought forward by twelve hours, which means the next wave of attacks will be at midnight.

As a veteran Plants vs. Zombies player, Chen Yang quickly figured it out.

This tombstone marks the zombie spawn point at night.

He opened the world chat to check if only his own account had used this feature.

"Holy crap, a tombstone suddenly popped out of the yard in broad daylight!"

"I was lying on the ground sunbathing, and this tombstone just kept me standing up..."

"Dude, is your ass okay...?"

"roll!"

"This should be the monster spawn point for tonight, right?"

"Hahaha, I just got a Tombstone Devourer and thought it was useless, and then it came alive..."

"Tombstone Devourer is available for rent in Zone 037, 1000 suns per rental!"

"Dude, isn't this a one-time use card?"

"Don't you know? Unlike other cards, one-time cards don't disappear after use. You can use them again as long as the cooldown is over."

"I've learned something new."

So this is what everyone has on their lawn.

Chen Yang looked at the cross-shaped tombstone in front of him.

At this moment, Lava Nut is staring wide-eyed, touching and fiddling with the tombstone as if it had found a new toy.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

"You idiot, try to pull this thing out?"

“Once you pull it out, it’s yours,” Chen Yang added.

Upon hearing this, Lava Nut became even more enthusiastic and eagerly prepared to pull out its new toy.

Chen Yang watched with great interest as the Lava Nut pulled the tombstone upside down with all its might.

However, even though the nuts were practically bursting with heat, the tombstone remained completely still, showing no sign of being pulled up.

"Alright, alright, stop holding it in."

Chen Yang waved his hand.

It seems this tombstone cannot be removed by external force.
