It Seems I'm Not the Only One Who's Obsessed

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother!"

Zhong Yi suddenly heard someone calling him.

In a moment of distraction, the cannonball of the Corn Cannon missed, and one Red-eyed Barbarian Zombie slipped through. It walked straight over and punched the Tall-nut with a Pumpkin Head to smithereens.

The battle line was instantly breached.

Defeat was like a collapsing mountain.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he simply withdrew.

"Junior Brother Mu? What's the matter?"

There were rarely a few bloodshot eyes in Zhong Yi's eyes.

"Senior Brother Zhong, after you posted a thread on the forum last night, you suddenly disappeared for a whole night. Everyone thought you had gone crazy and had an accident, so I..."

Seeing that Zhong Yi was okay, Mu Yawen quickly explained.

He had changed his name together with Zhong Yi back then, and only he knew the real identity of [Genius Cultivator].

"One night?"

Zhong Yi looked out of the window, and the sunlight was very glaring.

He was immediately stunned.

Hadn't he just started researching the Endless Mode not long ago?

How could it be morning already?

"Senior Brother Zhong, were you unable to clear the Hard Mode and have been working hard?"

"No, I've already cleared the Hard Mode. I just didn't expect there to be an even more perverted Endless Mode later."

When he said the words [Endless Mode], Zhong Yi felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Compared with this, the Hard Mode was simply child's play!

The first few levels were okay, not much different from before.

But when several Barbarian Zombies appeared simultaneously in the fifth level, Zhong Yi felt that something was wrong with this mode...

After that, all kinds of zombie combo moves came one after another.

The most annoying one was the Juggler Zombie.

He remembered that in the Survival Mode and Adventure Mode, the bombs in the Juggler Zombie's hands would explode only when it reached the middle.

In the Endless Mode, sometimes there would be Juggler Zombies whose bombs exploded instantly in one second.

Once they exploded, there would be heavy casualties, and the gaps in the formation could never be filled...

And there were also the Barbarian Zombies.

This kind of zombie was already a nightmare for players.

In the Endless Mode, there were even Red-eyed Barbarian Zombies with even more exaggerated stats, which directly broke his defenses...

...

He played countless rounds.

Before he knew it, the time had passed until morning.

The Endless Mode was very difficult.

But he actually enjoyed it a little.

This feeling was like being at the peak of a certain realm, hovering on the verge of a breakthrough, constantly looking for an opportunity.

"Senior Brother Zhong, go and check the forum quickly. Everyone has been waiting for your strategy for a long time."

"I'll post it right now and then continue to play the Endless Mode... I don't believe it's really endless!"

...

...

In the following time,

The [Endless Mode] appeared in the sight of more and more disciples.

In the words of the previous life, these disciples were the "core players" of the game.

Most players were still silently playing the hard levels in the Survival Mode.

From outer - sect disciples to sect elders,

All of them were playing.

The forum had become a gathering place for core players, and the mainstream topic of discussion was the Endless Mode.

[Fellow Daoists, which level have you reached in the Endless Mode?]

[I was defeated at the fifth level. This is too difficult!]

[The Red-eyed Barbarian Zombies are so perverted. They can't be killed at all!]

[The Instant-exploding Juggler Zombies are also very annoying!]

[I always feel that Junior Brother Lu didn't want us to pass at all...]

[Fellow Daoists, I have a brilliant idea! Place a Tall-nut and a Pumpkin Head at the beginning of each lane, and behind them, place one Torchwood and seven Gatling Peashooters. Once this divine formation is formed, even the gods descending to earth won't be able to do anything! Do you all agree?]

[First of all, you have to have enough spiritual energy.]

[The spiritual energy cost will increase if you repeatedly plant the same purple spiritual plant.]

[I think it's crucial to accumulate more spiritual energy in the first three levels!]

[Don't use Gatling Peashooters. The shooter series really doesn't work. We still have to rely on the throwers!]

[Nonsense! Gatling Peashooter + Torchwood is definitely a divine formation!]

[Why doesn't anyone like mushrooms?]

[The mushroom family can sit at the same table with the demonic path.]

[Hahaha! I've already developed a perfect formation without any flaws! With this formation, I can easily clear hundreds of levels, and there will still be tens of thousands of points of spiritual energy left, which I can't even use up! The core of the formation is the Starfruit. As long as you plant enough of them...]

...

At this time, Lu Ze was happily looking at the posts on the forum in the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Especially the remarks of the player called [Starfruit Emperor] about the formation centered around the Starfruit reminded him of some interesting things in his previous life.

Of course, he knew that this guy was boasting.

Because the back - end data showed that no one had reached the tenth level yet. It was obvious that the claim of clearing hundreds of levels was a lie.

Looking at the disciples discussing various formations with great interest, Lu Ze was very pleased.

Originally, he was still worried that the difficulty might be too perverted and everyone wouldn't like to play.

If so, it wouldn't be impossible to adjust the difficulty temporarily.

Now it seemed that he had worried too much.

On the one hand, there were too few entertainment items in this world, and there was no substitute for Plants vs. Zombies: Spiritual Edition.

On the other hand,

What kind of storms hadn't the cultivators experienced?

All the cultivators had iron wills. They had encountered many setbacks during their usual cultivation.

Losing a few games was nothing.

Lu Ze completely let go of his worries.

Since the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect had such strong endurance,

There would be more game options in the future.

Introducing some soul - games with high difficulty would surely increase the demonic path value rapidly.

Just thinking about that scene made him excited.

Speaking of the demonic path value, what Lu Ze didn't expect was that the Plants vs. Zombies: Spiritual Edition also contributed quite a lot of demonic path value.

It was not much worse than The Escape from the Demon Sect.

On the one hand, there was publicity from the sect this time, and almost all the disciples in the sect were playing.

On the other hand, the management such as the elders and deacons had also joined in.

After all, in terms of gameplay, Plants vs. Zombies: Spiritual Edition was suitable for all ages.

The demonic path value that the deacons and elders could provide was not comparable to that of ordinary disciples.

However, Lu Ze knew in his heart that Plants vs. Zombies: Spiritual Edition was not a long - term solution.

After the players cleared the levels other than the Endless Mode, this game would start to gather dust.

Only a small number of core players would always be addicted to the Endless Mode.

...

...

At the Quenching Gold Peak, in the Body - Forging Valley.

"Senior Brother, are you sure you haven't gone crazy?"

"Quite sure."

"Then why did you cut the spiritual fruit in half when I offered it to you just now?"

"...Next time, hand it to me instead of throwing it."

Zhong Yi was embarrassed.

He had been cutting fruits for almost seven days. When he saw the fruit flying in mid - air, his hand moved before his mind did.

There was nothing he could do; it was just a habit.

'Come to think of it, I seem to have really gone crazy... Junior Brother Lu's illusion is so terrifying!' Zhong Yi thought to himself.

It wasn't just that he would subconsciously cut fruits. Recently, even when he took occasional naps, he would dream about various spiritual plants.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a Tall - nut appear in front of him.

Zhong Yi thought he had really gone crazy and was having hallucinations.

He rubbed his eyes and found that the Tall - nut really existed, and even its stupid - looking eyes were vivid.

"What's this?"

"We at the Quenching Gold Peak have newly crafted the Body Tempering Rock, aiming to make all our disciples as tough as the Wall-nut Taoist!"

"Awesome!"

"However, our goal has changed recently."

"What has it changed to?"

"To become barbarian zombies, able to withstand all kinds of attacks head-on and knock out one enemy with a single punch!"

"..."

Zhong Yi suddenly had a feeling.

It seemed that he wasn't the only one who had gone astray.
