38 World VI: Ice Age
◎5 new third-level ◎
The projection of the world dissipated the moment the battle ended, and the original scene outside the window returned to pitch black. As beautiful as the sea was during the day, it was as terrifying at night, like a nightmare abyss that could swallow everything.
Gu Ning opened the door without looking up or around. He quickly moved the reward jars that had been delivered to him, closed the door, locked it, and drew the curtains. He said goodbye to everyone in the chat area, washed up early, and went to bed.
That night she had a dream she hadn't had in a long time. She dreamed of the winter when she went to school. She was walking on the road and suddenly snowflakes started falling from the sky. They were as big as the palm of her hand and soon formed snow piles that got higher and higher, from her ankles to her knees and then to her waist, even above her shoulders. She could no longer see the road until she was completely buried. Her whole body was so cold that she woke up from her dream before she was frozen into ice.
Gu Ning shivered slightly in confusion, exhaled, and clearly saw the white mist formed by the huge temperature difference. It turned out that the coldness was not in the dream, but in the home that was like falling into an icy cave.
She sat up indignantly, wrapped in the quilt. What the hell is going on in this world? Why is it so cold all of a sudden?
When I looked up, I found a simple and practical fireplace on the left side of the wooden door, with wood fuel piled next to it. The only flaw was that it didn't ignite.
Gu Ning was so cold that she was shaking uncontrollably, but she still got out of bed to light the fireplace, wrapping herself in a quilt like a caterpillar.
Lift the hole on the top of the fireplace, throw all the wood in, then use the lighter to ignite the hay fluff, and throw the hay pile on the wood. The fire will instantly become strong and the wood will also be burned. After confirming that it is done, close the lid. There is a ventilation duct built behind the fireplace, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
If this game wanted to harm her, it would only do it through zombies, not murder her in this way.
When the fireplace lit up, she curled up in bed. She was so cold that her nose was running and her head was buzzing. The room temperature gradually rose with the fireplace, and finally it was no longer cold.
Gu Ning looked at the time and it was only 3 a.m. She also received a game prompt.
[Ding! Welcome challenger to the Ice Age! ]
[Please note: The zombies in this world are all level three, with their health and attack power doubled]
[Due to extreme weather conditions, your [Sunflower] will be disabled. It is recommended to use Fire Plants for combat.]
[Scanning your combat power, detecting that you have a large number of unopened jars. Please open the jars before participating in the player ranking of this server. Survival time will affect the ranking weight.]
She drifted off into the warmth of her bed, her consciousness gradually fading. All she could hear was something about someone forbidding her from opening the jar. Why was she opening it so late at night? What a lunatic! They wouldn't even light the stove, and she had to get up to do it. She felt drowsy, so she decided to take a nap first.
8:00 AM
“Bang, bang!”
Gu Ning, who was so hot in her sleep that she kicked the quilt, was woken up by a knock on the door. She picked up the alarm clock and it was already eight o'clock. This sleep was much more sound than the first half of the night. She slept without any dreams until dawn and felt very comfortable.
She got up and put on a thick coat, scarf, gloves and hat. There was a thick layer of frost on the window, making it impossible to see the scenery outside. She could only wait until the door was opened to look.
Gu Ning had experienced temperatures of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in winter, so she naturally knew the power of it. She protected her entire body except her eyes before pushing the door open a crack. Although her eyes had no cold or heat receptors, she still felt a little cold.
She quickly bent down and moved the four sign-in jars into the room, then glanced at the surroundings. All she could see were glaciers. Her wooden house was placed in a cave, and above the door was a huge bone that was wider than the door. The outer layer of the wooden house was also covered with stones. These were all warming measures, otherwise people would have been frozen solid.
This time the neighbors are far away. In other nearby caves, the planting area is a dark blue and light blue ice brick, with many large animal bones on the edges on both sides. In contrast, opposite is a cave in the shape of a zombie skull, with a huge tusk suspected to be a mammoth inlaid on one side, all of which reveal an atmosphere of horror and danger.
It is a world covered in silver snow. The cedar trees are a rare green in the ice and snow. Now they are also covered with snow. It feels like being in Antarctica, but it is obviously colder than Antarctica.
Gu Ning was frozen after standing for only a few minutes. She hurried back into the house and poured herself a cup of hot water. There was no stool at home, so she took a cushion and spread it in front of the fireplace, opening the jar while warming herself by the fire.

[Reward: 1 Level 2 Plant Card of Your Choice]
【Your choice: Sunflower singer】
Seeing the new singer, Gu Ning suddenly remembered something: the old employee [Sunflower] was banned, and [Twin Sunflowers] could not be used either.
So, she chose the Sunflower Singer twice, just to upgrade it to level three. After all, she had no other choice. She didn't want to spend 100 sun on a production plant, even if it cost 25 sun mushrooms and 75 coffee beans. Even the rich couldn't afford such a high cost.
This is also the time when the most jars have been accumulated in history. It is a pleasant surprise to collect the complete picture book. For example, there are some strange mushrooms in the Dark Age, and there are also strange aquatic plants on the Big Wave Beach. Gu Ning did not draw again. After all, the BOSS has been defeated. It is not worth opening the jar just to collect the complete picture book. It is better to consider the new world.
There are quite a lot of new plants at the moment, so she held a thick stack of cards and sorted them out one by one.
[Fire Flower Queen] is noble, beautiful and versatile. She can perform long-range throwing attacks and spray flames at nearby zombies. She is also very expensive, requiring 450 sunlight for the first level. I am tempted but I will hold onto her for now and make a decision later.
[Chili Pitcher] can throw flaming chili peppers, causing splash damage in a 3x3 area at the landing point. It only requires 200 sunlight, which is not bad.
[Flame Pea] can spit out fireball peas, which is equivalent to carrying a [Torch Stump] on itself. Single shot is worth 175 sunlight, but the cost-effectiveness is not as high as that of Chili Pepper, so it is not considered.
[Stun Onion] is worth 25 sunlight and can cause single-target stun. She has a third-level croton that can stun a group, so she doesn't keep the onion.
[Rafflesia] A flower with a big mouth. It spits out bubbles and floats to the back to attack. It will prioritize attacking the zombies at the end. The key point is that it takes 10 seconds to spit out 1 bubble. Even though the bubble can cause 2x1 range damage, the attack speed is too slow. The price of 350 is also very expensive. Even if you have money, you don't want to raise it.
[Tornado Acorn] has a clockwork-like stem on its head, which will sweep out and come back, causing damage twice. It can break the teeth of walrus zombies and has the ability to restrain exclusive zombies, but the charging time is 5s and the price of 300 is not cheap, so it is better to replace it.
[Baked Potato] and [Hurricane Cabbage] are both plants that cannot be upgraded. One is used to melt ice for free, and the other with 100 sunlight can blow zombies out of the field. It feels a bit like a wind talent. They are good value for money, so keep them all.
After browsing through it, Gu Ning decided to cultivate [Flame Flower Queen] + [Chili Pitcher], and also upgrade [Fiery Chili] + [Cherry Bomb].
【Transaction Information】
3 [Cart] for 3 [Flame Flower Queen] + 3 [Cherry Bomb]
3 [Flame Pea] for 3 [Flame Flower Queen]
3 [Tornado Acorn] for 3 [Chili Pitcher]
3 [Torch Stump] for 3 [Chili Pitcher]
3 [Rafflesia] for 3 [Hot Pepper]
1 [Dizzy Onion] for 1 [Fiery Pepper]
2 [Dizzy Onion] for 2 [Cherry Bomb]
Transactions are completed one by one (Note: not a single player exchanges 3, most of them exchange 1, a total of 3)
The [Fire Flower Queen] is indeed powerful, but it also requires a lot of sunlight. This world has banned the [Sunflower] that everyone has been cultivating. Even if many players like Fire Flowers, they have to consider their own financial conditions. If they really can't afford it, they can only switch to something else.
For example, [Flame Pea] is an excellent choice. After all, players who can survive here are definitely more cautious than new players and should avoid being too ambitious. The [Cart] is obviously more cost-effective than the Flame Flower, and it is just right to pair it with a [Cherry Bomb].
[Tornado Acorn] has a special zombie counter, and many players will also replace it with a backup. [Torch Stump] is covered with flames and can effectively remove ice from nearby plants. It is also a popular plant and is relatively easy to replace with [Chili Pitcher].
The other plants were exchanged randomly. Players all had some stocks in their hands. After all, few players would think of cultivating cherries/peppers to the third level. It was only because Gu Ning was too rich that he thought of raising these. The main reason was that they could always be used, so as to save the trouble of drawing them next time.
Upgrade to obtain: Level 3 Sunflower Singer, Level 3 Flame Flower Queen, Level 3 Pepper Pitcher, Level 3 Fiery Pepper, Level 3 Cherry Bomb.
