Chapter 109 Mad Dave

"Alright, it should be fine now."

Pressing his slightly sore arm, Bai Chen exhaled and turned to look at the two people beside him who were completely dumbfounded.

"I'll leave the rest to you guys; I'm going to take a break."

"oh----"

Standing up blankly, Su Qun looked bewildered, clearly still reeling from what he had just witnessed.

In fact, not only him, but even Ye Qingheng, who usually didn't have much expression on her face, opened her mouth slightly at this moment, looking a little... silly.

It wasn't until Bai Chen sat down next to her that Ye Qingheng came back to her senses. After staring at him blankly for a while, she seemed to remember something and quickly took out a pair of glasses from her backpack and put them on.

"Alright, stop staring. No matter how many times you look, I'm still level 12."

Bai Chen picked up the juice from the table next to him, took a sip, and remained calm.

"—How did you do that?"

After a brief silence, Ye Qingheng looked up at him.

"Title skill: All skills have no cost for one minute."

Bai Chen raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head.

"It has a one-day cooldown, so it's something you'd rather keep hidden away."

"But I remember the title interface only unlocks after level 20."

Ye Qingheng remained calm.

"Look at what you're saying, how can these be the same?"

Bai Chen shrugged.

"Don't forget, I'm a genius. Geniuses have some privileges, isn't that normal?"

Ye Qingheng:

'

"

After Bai Chen forcefully dealt with the most terrifying wave of zombies, the rest of the game's progression was truly...

It was relaxing and enjoyable.

As dawn broke, the barrier that had kept the world in limbo for days was finally broken. However, before the exhausted group could even sit down and rest, Dave appeared before them once again.

Compared to the previous times, Dave's situation this time was not only worse, but his entire physique even began to develop in a bizarre and grotesque direction.

As if something had ripped it open from the inside, his head split into several irregular pieces along the midline, with countless tender green buds emerging from the cracks. Those buds were even trembling slightly, and with each tremor, a murky yellow sap would be squeezed out and flow down his cheeks.

His eyes were still there, but their positions were no longer right. His left eye had slid to his cheekbone, the skin around it wrinkled like crumpled paper. His right eye was now pushed to his temple by a vine sprouting from his brow bone, and a root as thick as a baby's arm emerged from deep within his mouth, topped with an unopened flower bud.

But what's most unsettling is his expression.

Despite his current appearance, Dave still retained a certain human quality on his face. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned as if he were smiling, and his only remaining eye was staring straight ahead, with an expression that was hard to define as either expectation or pleading.

He just stood there, letting his body continue to break down, letting the roots of plants grow and spread inside him, like some kind of willing sacrifice.

Because Dave's current state was so bizarre, even Ye Qingheng couldn't help but frown slightly.

Perhaps because his throat was completely occupied by plant roots and he could no longer speak, Dave did not continue his ravings this time. Instead, he handed them an old key with his left hand, which was covered with white plant roots under his skin, and then slowly turned and walked out of the villa.

After exchanging a glance, Bai Chen took the key the other person handed him and followed behind.

As soon as Bai Chen stepped out of the villa, he saw Qin Feng and the others who had stayed behind. Qin Feng had picked up a walkie-talkie, seemingly wanting to say something to those who were staying behind the villa, but he was taken aback when he saw Bai Chen and Dave coming out of the villa.

Shaking his head in the other direction, Bai Chen looked at Dave, who was completely parasitized by plants.

Although the other party's current form is extremely bizarre, if you look closely, you can find that the plants on the other party's body are quite familiar. The sunflower growing in the head, the pea shooter growing from the throat, the seaweed with a horn sticking out from the ear - just by roughly counting, he found at least 20 plant-related features on the other party's body.

""

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Bai Chen looked down at the key he was holding in his hand.

He was quite familiar with Dave's key. In the original game's storyline, players would find the other player's key while playing through game levels, then open the other player's truck shop and be able to buy things from the other player's truck.

If he wasn't mistaken, this key was probably for the same purpose, but now that he was almost finished with the game, what did it mean to hand him the key at this point?

To be honest, he didn't really want any of the plants available for purchase in the other party's shop.

"Holy crap, a lawnmower!?"

Bai Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the items placed on the open car rack in front of him.

Although there's only one rooftop level left, judging from the extremely difficult fog level, this rooftop level will only be harder. If he had a lawnmower, the pressure would be reduced a lot.

Besides the lawnmower, the shop also displays several other items, such as imitators, double-headed sunflowers, and cat-like plants. Most importantly, there is also a large stack of plant cards.

Unlike the seeds Dave gave them before, these plant cards have more intuitive effects, and the card designs are also closer to the original plants.

Bai Chen was worried about how to buy these things, but Dave was very generous and stepped aside to let him take whatever he wanted.

In the end, Bai Chen emptied the shop, except for one golden seed that could not be taken.

He did try to ask Dave how to obtain that golden seed that was clearly no ordinary object, but the other party's attitude was very firm this time. After slowly moving his body back into the car, he directly closed the car door.

Seeing this, Bai Chen had no choice but to return with regret.

"Was that golden seed supposed to be the reward after completely completing the game—the Tree of Wisdom?"

Just as Bai Chen was pondering, he turned a corner and saw Qin Feng standing right in front of him.

Then, he received some news from the other party that surprised him somewhat.

But after he officially cleared the Mist level, not only him, but all of Dave's in the world—all turned into the bizarre, plant-parasitized forms he had seen before.
