Chapter 90
The four mushrooms, each a different color, sat together. The wooden table was small and exquisite, with an icon and a line of small text engraved on it that read "World Will Administration Bureau".
The electronic files the mushrooms were holding were about world number 29734, the world they inhabited.
“Um…” the little robot said, bowing its head, “I did make some changes to the program.”
Its name is 889, and it's a newly appointed host assistant who is still in the internship stage.
World number 29734 was the first batch of missions that 889 took over. When it arrived with the data, the system here had been almost crashed by the superhumans.
First, Nan Tingjin's superpower tore the entire world apart, causing it to collapse. Then, Wen Jue used his superpower to turn back time.
During the backtracking and reset process, 889 discovered a free-floating volume.
It was a sphere made of rubble, which was then separated by a special spatial ability. Inside were Nan Tingjin, Qian Hui, and eleven alien plants.
Nan Tingjin probably wanted to die with Qian Hui. His spatial ability came from the cattail grass, which was exhausted and on the verge of death. The other ten alien plants had been imprisoned for too long and were also in poor condition.
Originally, 889 could have been ignored; the job was simply to help the world reset smoothly and ensure no other malfunctions occurred.
However... after reading the records about the two, 889 felt a pang of pity.
This young couple is so unlucky. They were about to get together when a catastrophe suddenly struck the world.
Fortunately, Nan Tingjin's supernatural abilities were strong enough to protect Qian Hui. Later, the two separated because Nan Tingjin had to go out on a mission and left Qian Hui at the best-equipped Sky Base, planning to come back to pick him up after completing the mission.
However, another unexpected event occurred: the leader of the Sky Base turned out to be a villain!
In the end, one died and the other was injured. Qian Hui forcibly resurrected Nan Tingjin, but she herself lost a lot of life force and was about to become a zombie.
889 has made calculations and predictions that if it doesn't intervene, the world will reset smoothly, and everything will repeat itself.
It's like a script with a predetermined fate; even if there are some differences in the details, the overall direction will not change.
In other words, Nan Tingjin and Qian Hui's experiences will continue to repeat themselves.
889 can't stand this kind of plot... especially since among those eleven alien plants, there's a cute little pink mushroom.
After much deliberation, it decided to simply take the two people and the alien plant away separately, while the rest of the world would continue to reset and automatically fix some bugs, such as erasing all of the two people's existence.
Subsequently, 889 did two more things.
First, the portion of the volume that was taken away separately will be transformed into an environment that looks more normal. Nan Tingjin is the culprit who caused the world to collapse. He has been identified by the system as a high-risk individual and needs to be locked up alone in the forest.
Qianhui and the plants were severely injured, so 889 set up a nurturing system, turning it into the simplest work game, which could keep the brain active while sleeping.
Later, Qianhui and the plants gradually recovered and were able to wake up regularly for a day.
Secondly, Qianhui's special ability was turned into a game system, allowing him to maintain a delicate balance between humans and zombies.
The various pills and resurrection beans in the game store are all Qian Hui's special abilities. Purchasing them will also consume his own abilities, so 889 changed the way to recover by killing zombies.
The mini-game in the nurturing system happens to involve killing zombies, which allows for faster recovery even while asleep. 889 thinks he's a genius!
Afterwards, out of a little bit of his own selfishness, eleven exotic plants continued to evolve in the nurturing system and all became top-grade.
When the world begins to reset, the memories of all native NPCs will be erased, including the two people and the plants. However, it is unknown whether Nan Tingjin ultimately destroyed the world, but he still had memories when he was in the plant courtyard.
Once the world was reset, the two and the plants needed to be sent back. Qian Hui had actually arrived six years ago, but his half-human, half-zombie constitution was too weak, and he fell into a deep sleep for another six years after the transfer was successful.
Under these circumstances, after system calculations, considering that Nan Tingjin's level of danger was still very high, 889 simply erased all of Nan Tingjin's memories.
So initially, Nan Tingjin remembered nothing, while Qian Hui and the plants had illusory memories of being nurtured in the courtyard.
After Qian Hui woke up, 889 secretly came to check on her several times and, within the scope of what was possible, casually made some hints about plot points.
Seeing that all eleven exotic plants had finally gathered, 889 breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the Bureau also bears some responsibility for the catastrophes that have occurred in this world.
Furthermore, under the adaptive operation of the world, there will be invisible rules that bind us. The stronger the superpowers that humans awaken, the worse the final outcome usually is.
Qianhui can resurrect all living beings except herself, but she has no ability to protect herself and is easily coveted.
Nan Tingjin was too sentimental, and Qian Hui was his weakness; he even died because of her.
As for Wen Jue, he is a pretty bad guy, a villain no matter where he is, but he suffers the most from his delusions and has been in pain for a long time.
Qian Hui and Nan Tingjin did not participate in the reset, nor did the eleven alien plants. As a result, many situations will be different, which can be regarded as giving the three of them a chance to start over.
By today, Wen Jue's death has been recorded, the ending has been completely changed, and 889 has also finished writing the mission report.
Looking at the four mushrooms on the seat, it was very uneasy and cautiously began to speak: "However... in Qianhui's game store, I only bought the ability conversion pills, I don't know about the others..."
Many things in the system can now be automatically repaired through self-adaptation. I didn't see any program traces in 889, so I'm not sure if Qianhui's game "evolved" on its own.
Just then, a white mushroom on the table coughed softly.
Its eyes darted around for a moment, then it touched its umbrella cap: "Woo."
The lifestyle products category in the online store was added by myself.
889 exclaimed in surprise: "Huh?"
White Mushroom coughed again and offered a few explanations.
It heard that mutated plants had evolved in some world, and out of curiosity, it came to take a look, and then...
The green mushroom next to it chuckled and confessed as well.
That's right, it came with the white mushroom!
I really like that brand of cookies made with green mushrooms; they're delicious!
Opposite the white mushroom, the pink mushroom with a tuft of pink hair sticking up on its head spoke: "Return."
And then there's this, it's stuffed with some weapons and building materials, like wood, bricks, cement, helmets, and some basic weapons.
889 was shocked, flipping through the system program: "Then...then the aircraft and all that..."
"That's right."
The gray mushroom sitting in the main seat put down the document in his hand and said in a deep voice, "The Prestige Points Shop was added by me."
Of the four mushrooms, it has the most unique appearance; it looks like a... mechanical mushroom.
Gray Mushroom also wore a mini name tag with only two words on it: "Host".
As soon as it finished speaking, the other mushrooms and 889 immediately turned their attention to it.
Gray Mushroom remained calm: "I just made a new batch of weapons and wanted to test their effectiveness. They weren't expensive."
Looking at the four mushrooms, 889 had mixed feelings.
Well... no wonder I couldn't find any program records; everyone else had higher privileges than it!
With the mission report reviewed and approved, 889 finally relaxed.
Under its expectant gaze, the gray mushroom stood up and patted it on the shoulder: "Well done."
The plant base below was still shrouded in night. After an unknown amount of time, four mushrooms and a mechanical figure quietly landed.
They strolled around casually, inspecting the various environments of the base.
Green Mushroom really liked this place and was thinking about when he could sneak back and have a proper visit.
When they arrived near the cabin, the pink mushroom spotted the small pink mushroom hidden among the leaves of the carnivorous plant and couldn't resist getting closer to take a look.
The white mushroom blocked its way and shook its head.
Those are other people's children. If they accidentally wake up and are seen, it will be troublesome.
The gray mushroom glanced at it, then lowered its head and opened a portal: "Let's go, it's time to go back."
A white mini portal opened, and four mushrooms entered one after another, followed by a mechanical little man.
Before leaving, 889 took one last look at the base and silently cheered for the plants.
With Wen Jue dead, Qian Hui's game system is just one step away from "completing" the level.
—
I went to bed a little late yesterday, and Qianhui didn't wake up until almost 10 a.m.
He opened his eyes and saw the bright sunlight outside the window, and for some reason felt as if he had been transported to another world.
The sun rose as usual, and the sounds of plants running and playing could be heard outside.
The game interface was still there, and Nan Tingjin lay beside him; everything remained the same.
Qian Hui took a breath, hugged Nan Tingjin tightly, and buried herself in his arms, not wanting to get out of bed.
Yesterday he told Nan Tingjin a lot, explaining things he could and couldn't explain, things he couldn't understand, things he was afraid of and worried about.
There were some things that Nantingjin already knew or had guessed, such as the time when Little Mushroom was resurrected.
Qianhui revived Little Mushroom, and then suddenly fainted, proving that his "game" was related to himself and did not come out of thin air.
There were still some things she couldn't understand, but with Nan Tingjin's reassurance, Qian Hui stopped thinking about them.
Wen Jue is dead, all the plants in the courtyard have been retrieved, and the base is fully equipped with all kinds of supplies. Even if his game system disappears at this time, it will not have much of an impact.
Nan Tingjin stroked Qian Hui's silver hair and lowered his head to kiss her: "Eat something before you sleep?"
"I'm not going to sleep..." Qian Hui mumbled in response, and slowly got up to wash up.
He gets up late and eats breakfast as lunch. When it's lunchtime, he can't eat anymore and stays by the table with the plants.
Yuanji brought over a few more live fish, and Carrot and Little Lotus Root went to see them together.
The cat's tail grass had not yet recovered, so the white hydrangea and the little cabbage sat on its left and right sides, one feeding it rice and the other feeding it soup.
After that, life at the base was peaceful for several days.
In the past few days, the remaining members of the Jianghai Base and the Sky Base have been arrested one after another, and more bases have become independent friendly forces of the Plant Garden.
Zombie King 02 has not been found, and the base cannot afford to relax, but the process of introducing more new plants continues.
Qianhui and the plants came up with a plan: they gave a piece of plant text to several friendly bases and asked them to print it in a prominent position on the modified vehicle.
The message in the text roughly means that these humans are friends of the plant base and can be trusted. If you want to come to the plant base, just ask them for a ride.
The Yunchuan base is moving the fastest; they have already assembled a dedicated team and plan to test the results first.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Qi Yue's subordinates sent a message saying that the method had really worked; they had received two exotic plants and were heading towards Black Ridge Mountain.
The plants were overjoyed and eagerly awaited the arrival of Qianhui.
However, just before the team responsible for delivering the exotic plants was about to arrive, a new situation arose.
The captain cried out in panic over the intercom, "A horde of zombies has been spotted!"
The team apparently encountered a horde of zombies en route, and even discovered two high-level zombies.
The location where they were attacked was not far from Blackridge Mountain, which is very likely related to the zombie king.
Carrot checked the coordinates and immediately summoned his plant team to prepare for the rescue.
Yuanji also hurriedly contacted Chili and said in real-time communication: "There's a situation."
Outside the two bases, a large number of zombies gathered in a very short time, and their numbers continued to increase; the exact number is currently unknown.
At this moment, Qianhui received a game notification.
[Traces of the Zombie King have been discovered, ID 02.]
[The taskbar has been updated!]
[Main Quest]: Raise the plant faction ranking to number one.
[Quest Rewards]: Faction Points +100,000, Prestige Points +100,000
