5: Mini-game, Plants vs. Zombies

Tang Ping returned to his Shelter, his tense body relaxing. Inside the Shelter, as long as the Shelter's health bar wasn't depleted, he was absolutely safe.

As for the lost health points, they would fully recover at midnight every day.

Looking at the five doomsday treasure chests in the room, Tang Ping felt a surge of satisfaction.

"I wonder what good things these five treasure chests will yield. If only there was a shelter trait scroll," Tang Ping thought, a little excited, wondering if he would be lucky enough to get the mini-game, Pixel Farm, this time.

If he had Pixel Farm, he wouldn't have to worry about food anymore. Moreover, the crops in Pixel Farm were all top-grade, not only nutritious and delicious but some precious crops also had various special effects.

Picking up a treasure chest, Tang Ping prayed for good items.

"Open the treasure chest!"

"Congratulations to the player for opening a doomsday treasure chest! You have received Dried Bread +10, Slightly Sweet Mineral Water +10, and a strength attribute stone +1!"

"Is that all?" Tang Ping was slightly disappointed, but at least his luck wasn't too bad; there was still a strength attribute stone.

"Use strength attribute stone!"

"Congratulations to the player for using a strength attribute stone! Strength +1. Current Strength: 5 points."

He piled the dried bread and mineral water in the corner and continued to open the treasure chests. He still had four more treasure chests; he didn't believe there wouldn't be a shelter trait scroll.

"Open the treasure chest!"

"Congratulations to the player for opening a doomsday treasure chest! You have received Dried Bread +10, Slightly Sweet Mineral Water +10, and an E-rank talent upgrade stone +1!"

It was a talent upgrade stone! Tang Ping immediately grabbed it excitedly. Heaven had eyes! He pitied his F-rank Talent, Weak Fire, which made even lighting kindling difficult. Now, he finally had a talent upgrade stone and could upgrade his Talent to E-rank!

Although an E-rank Talent was still considered a bottom-tier Talent, not much better than an F-rank Talent, it was an improvement nonetheless.

Now that his Talent could be upgraded to E-rank, was it still far from being upgraded to D-rank Talent? Was it still far from being upgraded to S-rank Talent?

Not far at all!

Tang Ping decisively used the talent upgrade stone on himself.

"Congratulations to the player for using a talent upgrade stone! Your Talent has been upgraded to E-rank: Weak Fire!"

Tang Ping quickly wanted to test it out to see how much his ability had improved. He spread his palm, and an egg-sized flame puffed out.

The room fell into a long silence.

"Damn it!" Tang Ping cursed. As expected of an E-rank Talent, one couldn't have too high expectations.

"Continue opening treasure chests!" Tang Ping hugged a treasure chest, still hoping for Pixel Farm. He wanted this mini-game so badly.

"Open the treasure chest!"

"Congratulations to the player for opening a doomsday treasure chest! You have received Cream Bread +10, Cola +10, and an f-rank transcendent weapon: black diamond blade +1!"

"Transcendent Weapon!" Tang Ping's spirits lifted. This was much better than an attribute stone. Although it was only an f-rank transcendent weapon, its help to him was even greater than upgrading his Talent to E-rank!

Moreover, with a Transcendent Weapon, his Talent could also be attached to the weapon, providing more powerful attacks.

Tang Ping was in a good mood. Finally, something practical had appeared. With this Transcendent Weapon, he wouldn't have to flee in terror every time he encountered a powerful player.

"I'll have to spend some time practicing my sword skills in the future. I don't need to be profound, but at least I need to be proficient in its use." Tang Ping took out the black diamond blade. It was a Tang dao-style sword, appearing very ancient overall. The blade emitted a cold gleam, looking very sharp.

A black diamond was inlaid on the hilt, and this diamond was the key to allowing the black diamond blade to be imbued with Talent.

Tang Ping was quite satisfied with this f-rank transcendent weapon. Although its rank was a bit low, for him, it was completely sufficient.

If he had obtained a high-rank Transcendent Weapon, he might not even be able to lift it. This F-rank black diamond blade already weighed four catties.

He put the blade and supplies in the corner and continued to open treasure chests. Now there were only two treasure chests left. Tang Ping was slightly nervous. If he couldn't get a shelter trait scroll this time, it would be even harder to get one in the future.

"Open the treasure chest!"

This was the fourth treasure chest.

"Congratulations to the player for opening a doomsday treasure chest! You have received Chocolate +10, Fresh Fruit Bag +10, and a shelter trait scroll +1!"

"A golden item! Finally, a golden item!" Tang Ping clenched his fists excitedly. A shelter trait scroll had finally appeared!

For others, a shelter trait scroll would only randomly grant an F-rank to S-rank Shelter trait, with lower-rank traits being more probable. The chance of getting an S-rank trait was almost negligible, and even higher-rank Shelter traits could not be obtained from a shelter trait scroll.

However, for Tang Ping, who possessed the SSS-rank Trait, mini-game, a shelter trait scroll would allow him to randomly acquire various mini-games.

Some of these mini-games were trash, but some were incredibly heaven-defying.

Some monster-slaying mini-games even allowed items obtained from slaying monsters to be directly extracted into reality, becoming Transcendent Weapons!

Tang Ping calmed his excited mood and prayed that he would also get a good mini-game, hoping it wouldn't be useless mini-games like Black and White Piano, Gomoku, or Candy Crush.

Even a mini-game that collected water daily would be good.

"Use shelter trait scroll!"

"Congratulations to the player for successfully using a shelter trait scroll!"

"Detecting that the player possesses an SSS-rank Trait mini-game, you have obtained the mini-game: plants vs. zombies!"

"Holy crap!" Tang Ping jumped up in excitement!
