Chapter 3: Peashooter in action
(play the plant vs zombie main theme song)
MC POV:
(George) "What the heck? A zombie? In my lawn?... Ahem, I mean in my apartment?"
(George) 'Thankfully it is the slow type zombie-like in the PVZ game despite it having a body just the same as a human physique.'
(George) 'If it was the runner or fast running type in the modern version zombies, I think I will die instantly. Still, I better kill him quickly as although he is slow, it is not a snail.'
(George) "Let's see
As I activated my skills, a seed with the size of half a thumb appeared in my palm.
(George) 'looks like I need to throw it myself, huh. Okay Peashooter, I choose you!'
I throw the seed in my hand as I shout the catchphrase of a certain anime and game that deals with a monster that you can stuff to a ball in my mind as I don't want to attract more zombies. The seed is thrown 1 meter in front of me between me and my zombies as it makes contact with the ceramic of my floor and bounces half a meter to the front.
~tug~
(George) 'Ugh… I forgot that my ceramic floor is not dirt or soil. Is my Quick Growth still able to be used? Let's test it
~Ding~
[No target found in skills designed area. Seeds need to be inside or on top of some type of soil before being able to grow]
(George) 'Oh salad, this will be a problem when I have combat in an urban environment where all soil is covered with concrete and asphalt. Well, I better find a solution right now or my brain is gonna be eaten. Right! My garden!'
I ran to my garden as I was chased by a zombie behind me. It was quick of me to directly open the door to my garden with my key and enter inside.
Arriving in my garden, I look for an empty pot with soil inside to grow my plant. I was really glad right now that I have a garden in my apartment with some empty pot with soil ready for use.
(George) "Found it!"
(George) 'Now!,
After I made sure the seed is planted inside the soil, I began my next course of action.
(George) 'and finally
After I cast my skills, the seed in the potted plant just sprouted immediately and quickly grew to maturity in just 1 second. It was good of me to put it inside a big pot as the size of the peashooter is massive if I have to say.
If I compare it to the tile in the game, 1 tile is 1 meter squared and the height of the plant depends on the size in the game I think. It might be a ratio to the pixel used for their design in the game but, I don't really know their exact size in the game, so I am not really sure.
(Zombie) "Braaaiins….."
As the zombie comes inside the garden, I realise that the peashooter is not doing anything. It was just shaking its leaves and staring at the zombie.
(George) 'Oh right! I also need to control it as I supposed they are not automatically attacking the enemy huh.'
(George) 'Fine, here it comes
As I activate the skills, I urge my will to command the plant using my mind first to test whether they are able to follow my command just with my will.
After I command it, the peashooter starts shooting the pea that he produces? And damaged the zombies.
(George) 'looks like it can respond to mental command huh?'
The peashooter keeps on shooting the peas toward the zombie with 100% accuracy due to the slow speed of the zombie. However, the zombie kept coming towards me and ignored the peashooter as he walked past it.
If not because its hand finally dropped just like in the game, I would have run from my place and didn't believe that I can damage a zombie using a pea the size of a baseball.
I keep counting the number of peas the peashooter shoots toward the zombie for data collection and it is until the peashooter shoots the tenth pea that the zombie head finally falls down, signaling its death.
(George) 'So it is the same as the game where the normal zombie needs 10 peas to kill a zombie. Weird… I remember that I have a perk saying that I got +100% increased damage against zombies, does it mean my plant damage is lower than in the game or the health point of the zombie is higher than in the game?'
As the zombie falls down, it turns into particles of light before disappearing, leaving some small, marble-size orb of blue light in the vicinity. The orb of light then flies toward me and enters inside my body.
(George) 'What? Is this experience?'
I'm shocked as some light orb just enters my body and is absorbed inside.
~Ding~
You have level up.
Entity level 0 > 1 (tier 0)
~Ding~
Your skills have level up.
[Seed Creation 1>2]
[Plant Command 1>2]
[Quick Growth 1>2]
~Ding~
New plant obtained [Sunflower] due to [Seed Creation] level up to 2
~Ding~
You have obtained the skills [Almanac 1] by defeating your first zombies.
My question was soon answered by this notification inside my head.
(George) "So that is experience orb huh? It also looks like my level finally went up, but it seems I am still a tier 0 entity huh? I wonder what would qualify you as a tier 1 entity? Besides an increase in my level, all my skills also level up from the previous fight even though I only kill 1 zombie."
(George) "As for improvement, I got a new plant [sunflower] which is the most important plant type in plant vs zombie so I need to check how it works in my case. I also got new skills that many PvZ players will definitely know. Now, let's see if this skill is what I think of, [Status]!"
As I said this word, my new status along with the change I got is displayed inside my head.
