Chapter 361: Race against time

The activity only started five minutes later, but after everyone entered the manor, they could receive the original seeds of various plants from the attribute panel.

At the beginning, there are five low-level primitive seeds that players can receive, among which twelve iron wire and vine seeds can directly receive as many as twelve, while the original seeds of four plants, Sunflower, Cactus, Thorn Tree and Pomegranate Tree, can only receive two of them.

After the event officially begins, each time the collection is completed, except for the iron wire and vines that can be collected once every 20 seconds, the rest will take one minute to collect again. If one seed is collected each time, the amount that can be collected will not accumulate.

The functions of these low-level primitive seeds are also introduced. Among them, the iron wire and vines have no attack power on monsters. The only function is to block the monster's way, that is, to build fences.

In front of the manor is a flat ground that is hundreds of meters long and twenty meters wide. Those who have played tower defense know that it is important to build a roundabout maze-style fence with a fence. Although this iron wire and vine has no attack power and is the lowest-level plant, its function is self-evident. If you want to resist to the end, you must plant the twelve original seeds at the beginning and obtain enough seeds to plant iron wire and vine to form an effective defense line.

Otherwise, if the monster breaks through the defense line from the beginning, as long as five monsters enter the manor, the manor protection will be considered a failure.

Sunflowers are also plants that have no attack power to monsters. However, the role of low-level sunflowers is to increase the attack speed and attack power of the surrounding five lattice plants, and are also very important and indispensable plants.

The following three plants, cactus, stinger tree and pomegranate tree, are all attacking plants. Cactus is a ranged attack plant that can attack monsters within a fifteen grid range, while the stinger tree is a plant with thorns all over the body. All monsters passing around the tree will be subject to toxic damage and reduce the monster's speed by 20 in 5 seconds.

The effect of the pomegranate tree is similar to that of Ye Chen's durian bomb. It can only attack monsters passing by the tree. When a monster passes by the pomegranate tree, the pomegranate tree will fall and explode from the tree, causing relatively high group damage to the monsters in the three grids at the explosion location.

The five basic low-level primitive seeds of plants already include the most basic defense, auxiliary, attack and other abilities. Among them, the pomegranate tree is the main early exporter, the cactus, which is mainly used to chase and kill fish that misses the net.

Ye Chen collected all the low-level primitive seeds in one breath, and then received the iron-clad willow tree, durian bomb tree, lucky beauty flower, honeycomb tree... etc. Any plant that he owns seeds can receive the original seeds for missions under the system's supplement. As long as it is planted in the mission manor, the corresponding mission seeds can be planted.

“It’s a pity that it’s a mission.”

Looking at the various primitive seeds collected, Ye Chen felt a little regretful. He had always wanted to get the primitive seeds of many plants, but failed.

There is only one primitive seed unique to all individuals. Ye Chen is a botanical master, although the level of the garden master is not high, he has not few unique primitive seeds. However, compared with other players participating in the event, Ye Chen knows that he cannot have any advantage. After all, other garden masters have high levels, and the seeds they have on them will only be more or less than him.

However, this game is not something that can be won with more seeds. The rarity of seeds and the performance of individuals in the game are all key factors that affect the results of the game.

After collecting all the original seeds, Ye Chen ran out of the manor and walked to the flat ground in front to watch the terrain.

The terrain is actually nothing good. Although the ground is flat, it is already divided into a plaid. The plants planted will be in a mini form, and a plant occupies a lattice. The same is true for monsters, otherwise if they all follow the real form, the competition will be even more troublesome.

The flat ground is about 100 meters long and 15 meters wide, and basically only one grid is half a meter, so it is 200 grids long and 30 grids wide.

After estimating it in my mind, Ye Chen knew that at the beginning, he might have to be more conservative. All the low-level plants must be planted to defend against the early monster invasion. After all, judging from the attributes of those low-level seeds, they live up to the name of low-level, and their attack range is very small.

Ye Chen has played many tower defense games, but knowing that if he didn't defend it in the early stage, he would be basically done. Even if he has a large number of rare seeds, it would be useless.

There is a low-high fence between the two sides of the flat ground, and you can see other players. At this time, many experienced players came out to observe the terrain after receiving the low-level primitive seeds.

After gaining a rough understanding of the terrain, Ye Chen returned to the manor.

The activity has not officially started yet. Although Ye Chen and others have received the low-level primitive seeds, the cooling time for the further collection has not yet begun to decrease. It is necessary to wait until the activity has officially started, and these low-level seeds can be obtained after cooling.

Ye Chen returned to the manor, instead of waiting for the event to begin, he quickly looked at the advanced seeds that could be redeemed with low-level seeds.

There are not many redeemable attack seeds for the time being, only intermediate, advanced iron wire rattan, intermediate, advanced sunflower, intermediate, advanced stinger tree, intermediate, advanced pomegranate tree, etc. In addition, there are mist trees that can add blood to plants and increase plant defense. However, what Ye Chen pays most attention is a special plant called space-time grass.

After planting the space-time grass, players can shuttle between any two space-time grasses!

Once the monster starts attacking, the player cannot move in the maze of rattan they have built. Even if there are no monsters, it takes a lot of time to run. Therefore, if you want to move quickly in two locations, time and space grass becomes extremely important.

Moreover, in addition to allowing players to move around, this time and space grass also has another very important role.

When a monster passes by the space-time grass that is not in front, there is a certain chance that it will be teleported back to the location of the first space-time grass!

Therefore, there are a few space-time grasses in front of the manor's door. In crisis, they may be able to save their lives. If they plant more, they may not be afraid of many monsters. After all, this means that all monsters, when they are about to enter the manor, have a higher chance of being teleported back to the front of the maze.

However, after Ye Chen looked at the time and space grass, he knew that this idea might be difficult to realize.

For the first primitive seeds of the space-time grass, the number of low-level seeds required is acceptable, but if you want to continue to redeeming, the cost will increase exponentially. It is absolutely not feasible to plant space-time grass in large quantities.

Not only that, players also have to be careful to use the primitive seed of the time and space grass that they redeem. After all, the cost of continuing to redeem is too high, and if the planted time and space grass is killed by the monster, it would be a tragedy.

After understanding the properties of most convertible plants, Ye Chen had a little bit of background in his mind, but the specific situation still needs to be known when the event officially begins.

After all, the strength of the monster is a factor that affects the arrangement and determines success or failure.

System prompt: The activity begins!

The five-minute preparation time passed quickly, and a system prompt rang out, and the players participating in the event were immediately busy.

Ye Chen was the same. He planted the twelve iron wire rattans, two sun flowers, cactus, stinger trees, and pomegranate trees, and all of them into twenty pieces of land, and then used the blessing of the God-Grace Shower to start sprinkling water.

Time passed quickly on these twenty pieces of land. As soon as Ye Chen sprinkled water, the seeds began to sprout, and weeds, insects, etc., as they came, Ye Chen quickly took out various tools from his backpack and poured them into care for the plants.

During this process, Ye Chen did not forget to collect the original seeds of iron wire rattan every 20 seconds.

The growth rate of iron wire and vine trees is also the fastest. The growth time of the other four seed trees takes 90 seconds, but the growth time of iron wire and vine trees only takes 30 seconds. Ye Chen can't stop for a moment after the activity begins.

Ye Chen began to harvest the seeds of iron wire and vines. The demand for iron wire and vines seeds is obviously not low. There are also quite a lot of seeds growing on the seed tree. There are about fifteen seeds on each tree. The function of the blessing of the God of Grateful Shower is highlighted at this time. When Ye Chen harvested the seeds of iron wire and vines, he planted the twelve plants. In addition to harvesting a total of 198 seeds, 20 of these seeds were mutated!

After the event officially begins, monsters will appear in three minutes. Time is obviously very tight, and Ye Chen can now be regarded as racing against time.

While harvesting the seeds of the iron wire and vines, Ye Chen also planted the obtained primitive seeds, and also took into account the weeding and insect removal of other plants. In the meantime, he had to focus on time to collect the refreshed low-level primitive seeds. Ye Chen simply wanted to have another pair of hands and feet.

After one minute and forty seconds, Ye Chen harvested the other eight seeds that attacked the auxiliary plants, and hurriedly planted the obtained primitive seeds, quickly watered them, and ran out of the manor and ran to the front of the flat ground.

The player's movement speed on the flat ground is still very fast, and Ye Chen only took six or seven seconds to reach a distance of hundreds of meters.

After walking to the front of the flat ground, Ye Chen quickly began to plant various plants.

The most important thing is of course the iron wire and vines. If this thing is not planted well, it is impossible for the plants in Ye Chen's hands to block the attack of all monsters with such a large resistance.

Ye Chen moved his footsteps, and at the same time he kept dispersing the plant seeds in his hands into the grid on the ground, and then mini plants grew out of the grid on the ground.
