#178 - Chapter 178 Zombies vs. Plants
Holy moly!
Qi Jing's heart skipped a beat.
Getting caught talking in class is so embarrassing.
Fortunately, Zhang Qilong only made Qi Jing do fifty single-finger push-ups instead of making him run laps.
But even so, it's still very embarrassing!
It's been a long time since I've experienced being called on by the teacher in class.
When I was in school, whenever I was called on by the teacher, whether it was to stand up and answer a question or to be caught daydreaming, Qi Jing would blush, his heart would race, and his voice would become unlike his own.
I didn't expect that after so long, I would still be like this when I was called on again.
When will I ever be able to not be afraid of being called on?
Never mind, let's focus on the class.
Noon.
After class, Qi Jing, as usual, took Tan Zuoyin to find Fang Yan to absorb the idle training experience of the Cultivation Proxy, and then had a meal at a small shop in Yuandao.
After sending Tan Zuoyin back to the dormitory, Qi Jing hurried back to the dormitory and put on the VR helmet to start playing.
As for Xiao Pi and Kabi?
Of course, they were left with Tan Zuoyin.
"Nothing can stop my yearning for games ~"
Humming a song, Qi Jing once again entered the virtual world.
He first came to the training ground and found that it had returned to its initial state.
Sure enough, the training ground is refreshed every time you enter.
Qi Jing decisively clicked to exit. Drawing a lottery is too time-consuming. It's better to go find some games or have a match.
He clicked on the map of the virtual world and found that it was divided into eight areas. The middle was a place called the Supernatural Virtual Academy, and the edges were seven territories: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, and Geng.
However, only a Level 1 Trial area was opened in each of those seven places, and there wasn't even a Level 2 Trial.
Sure enough, it fits the appearance of a software that has just been released. There is only a rough framework, and I don't know when the rest will be updated.
Qi Jing clicked on a place called Alien Square in the Supernatural Virtual Academy and selected "Teleport".
A burst of white light flashed.
Opening his eyes, Qi Jing found himself surrounded by many people, each wearing all kinds of strange clothes.
They should all be upperclassmen.
The VR helmet was only released this morning. How could freshmen have so much time to customize their faces and styles?
Qi Jing looked at the white vest and large shorts he was wearing and immediately felt like a weed surrounded by flowers, monotonous and awkward.
When game-loving programmers develop this virtual system, is it really necessary to bring in this set of initial equipment?!
He quickly opened the dressing interface and found that there were only three sets of clothes that could be changed.
The first set is military training uniform, which is obviously prepared for freshmen.
The second set is a suit, black and white.
Seriously, who comes here to wear a suit!
The third set is actually swimwear?
Are these programmers so thirsty? Isn't swimwear a limited skin in every other game? Why is it given away directly here?
Sure enough, the clothing logic of VR helmets is completely different from that of other electronic devices.
They all let players see but not touch, tempting players to buy.
Here, players wear it themselves for others to see, so it's given away directly.
Qi Jing looked at the unlocking conditions for other clothes. Most of them were purchased with points, and the rest were obtained through various activities, challenges, and achievements.
The academy also wants to make money, not ashamed.
But how come the clothes of so many people around are different?
Did they all spend points? And happened to buy different clothes?
For Qi Jing, who has never spent money on games, spending money on a set of clothes that doesn't improve combat power is absolutely impossible.
He doesn't understand why so many people buy electronic clothes and skins.
Suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of Qi Jing:
"Congratulations to Qi Tiangai Shizhenjun for obtaining a set of clothing!"
Huh?
Qi Jing opened his dressing interface and found that he had obtained a pink rabbit doll costume.
This is not a costume in any of the illustrations.
He looked at the event announcement in confusion and found that it said "First Day Clothing Giveaway".
Click "Details":
"The system will randomly distribute a set of random clothing every minute. As long as you stay in Alien Square, you can participate in this event."
No wonder there are so many people in the square. It turns out they are all here to wait for benefits.
Qi Jing once again sighed that his luck was not bad. He got this minute's clothing as soon as he came.
It's just that the rabbit doll costume is a bit too pink and can reveal the face.
AI-generated rabbit doll costume.
Shorts and a white vest are better, they're pretty good.
Although Qi Jing wanted to get a few more clothes, he felt that there were too many people here and the probability was too small. It was already very good to get one. He might not be able to wait for the next piece of clothing until class in the afternoon.
It's better to leave here directly and cut off this idea.
Qi Jing walked towards the outside of the square, passed through the crowd, and came to a place called "Mini-Game Street".
The first store had "Zombies vs. Plants" written on the door.
The person in front stood at the door, clicked on the electronic screen in front of him, and disappeared here.
Qi Jing also stood at the door, and a prompt popped up:
"Enter 'Zombies vs. Plants'?"
Yes!
The moment Qi Jing clicked the button, a burst of white light was generated under his feet and wrapped him, teleporting him to a grassland.
In front of him was a long lawn, but only one meter wide.
A prompt appeared in front of him:
"Level 1: Avoid the bullets fired by the Peashooter and pass through the lawn corridor."
And he noticed that three stars appeared in the lower left corner of his field of vision.
Based on his understanding of the game, he speculated that these were his three lives, meaning that the game would be lost if he was hit three times.
Three times?
You don't even need one time!
Qi Jing ran forward. There was only one Peashooter in the front, spitting out two-centimeter-sized peas at him, and the speed was very slow.
Is that it?
Qi Jing crossed the Peashooter in just one second and stepped on the finish line.
"Level 2: Avoid the bullets fired by the Double Peashooter."
Like last time, Qi Jing easily passed this level.
"Level 3: Avoid the bullets fired by the Quadruple Peashooter."
Easy peasy.
"Level 4: Avoid the bullets fired by the Octuple Peashooter."
"Level 5: Avoid the bullets fired by the Sixteenfold Peashooter."
......
"Level 8: Avoid the bullets fired by the One Hundred and Twenty-Eightfold Peashooter."
Qi Jing was speechless.
Starting from thirty-two peas, it could already scatter, firing several pea bullets at the same time towards different parts of the body. At that time, he was careless and was hit once. He didn't expect that his star count would not recover in the next level.
This is actually a three-lives-to-pass game! The number of times you are hit in each level will not be refreshed.
It has to be admitted that this game is indeed a bit difficult.
Qi Jing dodged and moved in various ways in the sea of peas, but the field was too small, and he was still hit twice.
"Failure"!
Looking at the Peashooter with more than a hundred white tubes inserted in its mouth and the two big words on the big screen, Qi Jing angrily clicked Replay.
Damn it!
What kind of game master is he if he can't even beat this kind of mini-game!
