26 Pre-war Preparations
◎Trade Cards + Watch Live Broadcast◎
After upgrading the plant cards, Gu Ning sorted the new cards she drew. She planned to keep [Cattail] + [Twin Sunflower] + [Machine Gun Pea] + [Imitator], and use the rest of the plant cards for trading. She needed to think about which card to exchange for specifically.
Although she can't use these cards, it doesn't mean they are useless. There are many strategies, but they are not in her plan. Plant cards have their own uses, and there are many rare night cards. It is not difficult to replace them.
For example, [Shrimp Shroom] is a substitute for the night warrior [Squirt Shroom], priced at 25 sun, which is super affordable. It has a long range and will not disappear automatically. The damage is the same as the Pea Shooter, but the price is 75 cheaper. It is especially suitable for players who are short of sun to survive the early stage of night battles. The only drawback is that it is too socially intimidating and should be planted in the middle and back rows away from zombies.
In addition, [Big Ejection Shroom] can attack a long line of zombies. It is priced at 75, which is not expensive. It can also be used with the advanced version [Melancholy Shroom] to create some new tricks. [Star Fruit] may seem useless, but it is also a powerful weapon against miner zombies. [Steel Spike] and [Ground Spike] are suitable for hitting ice carts and iron fences. Gu Ning has more options such as Potato Mine and Pumpkin to deal with it. There is no need to keep these two and just pack them all up and replace them.
She currently has 7 third-tier cards, 4 second-tier cards, and 27 first-tier cards. More cards only mean more choices, but it does not mean stronger strength. The key is to learn how to plan and manage, and to improve the tier of the main force as much as possible.
After arranging the six cards to be exchanged on the third page of the illustrated book, Gu Ning closed the illustrated book and placed it next to his pillow, then turned around to wash up and prepare for bed.
Half an hour later, she crawled into the comfortable bed, resting her head on the soft pillow, holding the teddy bear in her arms, resting her chin on the bear's head, and browsing the chat area page in her hand. Only then did she realize what the game had done and spread the news of her final battle.
But it doesn't matter. Someone has to take this path, and it will also provide some reference experience for other players. If it's not Gu Ning, it will be someone else. What's more, the rewards are doubled. She is used to playing live battles.
Seeing that many players expressed optimism about her, Gu Ning's mood also became more relaxed and cheerful. She felt that the player atmosphere in server 2333 was quite harmonious, and she really didn't want to change servers unless it was necessary.
But people have to look forward after all. She has only one goal in her mind from beginning to end, which is to get through the levels and return to reality, and she will never stop because of any factors on the road.
With this firm heart, Gu Ning slowly closed her eyes and slept without dreams all night until dawn. At 8:00 in the morning, she was awakened by a knock on the door. She kicked away the quilt and swiftly got up to open the jar.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
[Nut Wall: Has a hard shell strong enough to protect other plants]
[Level: First Order]
…
[Upgrade pending: 1/3]
【Machine Gun Pea: Used to upgrade Double Pea】
[Level: First Order]
…
【Upgrade pending: 2/3】
【Corn Pitcher: Shoot corn kernels to attack】
[Level: First Order]
…
【Upgrade pending: 2/3】
Because she had collected the entire illustrated collection, Gu Ning drew duplicate cards. She picked out [Wall of Nuts] and [Corn Pitcher], and combined the new and old cards from last night, she went to her neighbors to exchange cards, mainly for [Machine Gun Pea] + [Twin Sunflowers], and also for [Cherry Bomb].
At first, I didn't think of cultivating [Cherry Bomb], and the giant zombies didn't appear at that time, but now the situation is obviously different. [Fiery Pepper] also gave Gu Ningxin some inspiration. Maybe I can try to collect a second-level cherry.
【Transaction List】
[Nut Wall] Change to [Cherry Bomb] Ran Shu√
[Ground Thorn] Exchange [Cherry Bomb] Yu Bai√
[Corn Pitcher] Exchange [Machine Gun Pea] Yu Bai√
[Timid Mushroom] Exchange [Machine Gun Pea] Yu Bai√
[Melancholy Mushroom] Exchange [Machine Gun Pea] Ran Shu√
[Big Ejector Mushroom] Exchange [Twin Sunflowers] Ran Shu√
[Star Fruit] Exchange [Twin Sunflowers] Yu Bai√
[Steel Spike] Exchange [Machine Gun Pea]
The two of them had quite a bit of inventory. Yu Bai actually managed to accumulate two [Machine Gun Peas]. Although Gu Ning also got two, she kept them for a reason. Yu Bai focused on [Three-Line Peas], so why did he keep the Machine Gun? Gu Ning thought so and asked.
Yu Bai: "I'll keep it for you."
Gu Ning: “?”
Yu Bai: "Come on, final battle."
Gu Ning: "Okay, my good friend, I will never forget your friendship."
I originally thought Yu Bai was quite straightforward, but I didn't expect Ran Shu to be no less blunt.
As soon as they met, she rushed over and hugged Gu Ning's neck. Yes, their relationship had reached this level. Ran Shu's tone was filled with deep reluctance: "I know you'll be moving out after the war, and I don't have anything else to give you. Seeing that your rooftop plants are full, I prepared a machine gun and twin flowers for you! How about it? You must win!"
Gu Ning: "Thank you Shushu, love you!"
Thus, the transaction was concluded smoothly. It was not a one-sided gift. The two people exchanged for cards that were helpful for night battles. For example, the [Two-Way Pea] and [Star Fruit] for miners were given to Ran Shu and Yu Bai respectively, and there were also rare night plant cards, which were very valuable in the trading area.
Adult friendships are often based on interests. When you become strong, you will be surrounded by good people.
What made Gu Ning most satisfied was that the transaction did not create any grudges between the two parties, but instead added icing on the cake to the relationship.
Holding the new card he had exchanged for, the only remaining [Steel Spike] was quickly exchanged for by other players after it was put on the trading area.
She returned to the table inside the house and stacked the same cards together. Immediately, three white lights flashed before her eyes, and she obtained three new second-level cards.

Cards like [Machine Gun Pea], which are used to upgrade plants, will merge their attributes when planted on [Double Pea], which is equivalent to strengthening it on the basis of the original double. This is why it is worth cultivating. If the attributes are completely replaced, it is not called an upgrade, it is a disguised weakening.
As expected, [Cherry Bomb] also gained a new skill. The second stage can explode twice, but the range of the second time is not as large. However, it can still kill 2 giants in seconds. It will form a good combination with [Fiery Pepper]. However, [Twin Sunflowers] also has a special skill that can explode, which made Gu Ning want to laugh.
This is probably the upper limit. Planting [Sunflower] and producing 2 sunflowers is already very strong. When the yield reaches its limit, it can only be strengthened in other areas.
The pre-war preparations ended here. Gu Ning did not directly collect the third level, but collected three second levels. The main reason was that she would not need [Machine Gun Pea] in the final battle. She was making plans for the future. [Twin Sunflowers] were also more scarce in the market and difficult to collect in a short time. What she had now was enough.
After exchanging for the plant-based card, she started to eat breakfast. She had two potato pancakes. The potato crust was crispy and sweet, the soft-boiled egg was soft and tender, and there was also a strip of rich and salty bacon in between. One bite was undoubtedly a three-layer delicious enjoyment, and the more she chewed, the more she liked it.
By the time they had almost finished eating, it was 8:55. Gu Ning didn't have to fight a defensive battle this morning, so she was still a little uncomfortable with it. However, she had already opened the atlas familiarly and found the live broadcast area on the left side of the chat area.
This was her first time watching a live broadcast. Logically, she could watch it when she was playing defense battles, but she didn't want to be distracted by other things. If something went wrong, it would be a waste of time.
There were a total of 9 live broadcast rooms. Gu Ning clicked on the first one directly and saw a flurry of comments.
[Bai Ze: Good morning everyone, the first place winner isn't live yet, so I'm here to check out the second place winner!]
[Zhou Xinyu: I miss the first day of Gu Shen’s show (chin on hand)]
[Qite: It's okay, Gu Shen's show will air at noon, we can all watch it together then!]
[Bai Ze: There must be a lot of people there. I hope the game can help and build up the servers (shouting)]
…
Seeing someone was talking about herself, Gu Ning would have been fine if she hadn't noticed it, but now that she saw it, she took the opportunity to chat.
【Gu Ning: Good morning! 】
【Baisawa: !!!】
【Qite: !!!】
Zhou Xinyu: Caught a Gu Shen! Front row photo!
[Ma Lili: Wow, God Gu is also watching the live broadcast! ]
Bao Xiangchen: Has God Gu eaten yet? What did he eat?
[Bai Ze: Come on, Gu Shen, for the final battle! Beat that Zombie King to pieces!]
[Qite: Go, go, go! Gu Shen, you can do it!]
…
Seeing that the barrage on the screen was all carried away by his words, and the content posted had nothing to do with the anchor, Gu Ning smiled unkindly.
[Gu Ning: Thank you all for your blessings. The battle is about to begin. Let’s watch the live broadcast (scatter flowers)]
[Bai Ze: Okay! I'll listen to Master Gu (the cat nods)]
[Zhou Xinyu: Hehehe, watching the live broadcast with Gu Shen (laughing)]
…
The barrage then returned to normal as the battle began.
Yu Bai's main force was the Tier 3 [Three-Line Pea], and he was fighting a higher-level battle. Triggering crits on three lines, he spitted out a frenzy of electric and multi-attribute peas, filling the screen with a riot of color. The zombies that came up were constantly standing still and getting beaten. She watched for a moment before cutting them off. The zombies had absolutely no chance of winning! This talent is more enviable to see in person than to hear about it (biting the handkerchief).
Zhuo Wenlan, who is third on the list, has the third-level [Earth Spike King] + [Steel Earth Spike] + second-level [Double Pea]. The combination of water talent and earth spike is very mysterious. The zombies fell to the ground as soon as they appeared. Some of them had their heads broken off, and some had their throats pierced by steel spikes. In short, their deaths were all miserable in their own ways.
Ran Shu, who is fourth on the list, is a level 3 [Pea Shooter] + level 2 [Three-Line Pea]. She probably spends a lot of time in the chat area. She follows a similar path to Yu Bai. Their talents are also quite similar. The huge fireballs that fill the screen seem to have extremely high lethality. It seems that she will have no problem fighting a higher-level battle.
Seeing that both of his two friends were so powerful, Gu Ning felt very pleased and did not forget to leave loving encouragement in the anchor's live broadcast room.
[Gu Ning: Shushu, go for it! (Pumps fist)]
【Zhao Zhirui:? Gu Shen?!】
【Rong Jiazhi: ! ! God Gu is here? 】
Zhu Pingxia: Oh my god, I saw a real person!
[Gu Ning: Huh? I've always been alive 0-0?]
[Guan Jinge: Gu Shen is so cute, hug and kiss him =3=]
Chun Yuwen: Ahhh! I want to steal it, but I just want to go home and raise it (hands on hips)
[Yan Cang:? You don’t want Gu Shen to kill zombies for you, do you? Hahahaha]
