The zombies moved very slowly, and the cartoony zombies weren’t scary either, but Wen Lingwei felt quite tense. As the zombies slowly waddled towards the Peashooters, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous for them.

The Peashooters started shooting out peas. The popping of the peas on the body of the zombie filled her ears.

Soon after, the hand of the zombie fell off, and soon after that, the head fell off. The headless zombie fell to the ground, dead.

Wen Lingwei now managed to relax a bit, thinking, “Is that all? That was easy. Just a casual game after all, not all that difficult.

“However, this combination is quite interesting. How did you connect plants with zombies? And it manages to be oddly satisfying.”

Soon thereafter, Wen Lingwei cleared the first level and unlocked a new tile: Sunflower, and moved onto the next level.

As long as the players actually tried, the first few levels weren’t difficult at all. Following the guide, Wen Lingwei progressed through the game, constantly unlocking new plants.

Sunflower, Cherry Bomb, Wallnut; the plants unlocked themselves one after another.

The combat abilities matched their features quite well, easily making deep impressions.

The plants, zombies, and even the weird neighbor Crazy Dave worked wonderfully with one another, making the game seem very complete, with nothing out of place.

Wen Lingwei felt that although it was a casual game, a lot of effort has been put into it, and slowly immersed herself in the game because of how interesting it was.

She couldn’t stop herself as she progressed through adventure mode.

After some time had passed, a pop up showed up in the bottom right corner, hinting that she had five minutes left on the hour.

Wen Lingwei was shocked. So soon? She felt that she had only beaten a few levels. How did the time go by so quickly?

She didn’t give it too much thought as she was having fun, she couldn’t leave it go at this.

Wen Lingwei scanned the QR code and paid another ten bucks for another two hours of playtime.

Surely two hours was enough to beat a casual game?

——

Noon…

Wen Lingwei took a sip of coffee and was ready to continue battling.

1At this point of the game, she started facing some difficulties. Many plants crucial to beating the level were restricted, putting her out of her comfort zone.

Moreover, more and more zombies had appeared, such as the Pole Vaulting Zombie, Dancing Zombie, Newspaper Zombie, Screen Door Zombie, and so on. All of them required different plants to beat.

1When Wen Lingwei faced the Zombies for the first time she had to start over because she wasn’t familiar with the abilities of the Zombies.

However, these little obstacles didn’t stop her. Instead it made this little game a lot more interesting and stimulating. Games like this that required critical thinking made her quite excited.

Unbeknownst to her, it was now noon.

Wen Lingwei subconsciously looked at her phone and was shocked to find out that it was now twelve-something.

Taking a look around, Chen Mo was still at the bar, completely absorbed by his laptop screen deep in thought.

Wen Lingwei raised her hand and said, “Excuse me.”
