Chapter 104 Probability Theory

Thanks to the information provided by Qin Feng, Bai Chen had a thorough understanding of the current game's flow. If he could follow the guide provided by Qin Feng, he would have no problem advancing to the pool level.

While there was still some time, Bai Chen gave Ye Qingheng and Su Qun, who had come into the room, a general explanation of the functions of various plants.

36 seeds, 36 plants.

While it may seem that as long as you plant the plants in the correct positions, you can easily pass the daytime levels, the process is actually full of variables due to the uncertainty of the seeds—for example, accidentally planting a sunflower in the front row and a wall-nut in the back row.

Of these 36 plants, the most important one is actually the sunflower. Not only do its seeds need sunlight to grow, but it also consumes sunlight if the player inside the house wants to attack it.

You can never have too much sunshine.

"Uh...does launching attacks from inside the building also consume sunlight?"

Unconsciously, Su Qun paused for a moment.

"Yes, if there isn't enough sunlight, the people inside won't even be able to attack. So, the key to clearing the daytime level is planting all the sunflowers and ensuring their survival at the start of the game."

Bai Chen casually tossed the empty can into the nearby trash can and nodded.

"Simply put, it's all about luck. However, since sunlight automatically falls from the sky at certain times during the day, as long as you don't disturb the seeds at the start and ensure all five sunflowers are planted and survive, clearing the daytime is still quite easy—"

Before he could finish a sentence, as if sensing something, Bai Chen turned to look at the lawn outside.

Suddenly, the lawn outside became perfectly flat, as if it had been cut with a ruler. An unusually flat patch of grass appeared outside their villa.

Just like a game invading the world, a three-minute countdown appeared above the lawn, along with a sun icon displaying 50 floating in the upper left corner.

"You choose the seeds, and remember, they should all be sunflowers."

Standing up from the sofa, Bai Chen looked at Ye Qingheng beside him.

Without saying much, Ye Qingheng opened the bag and looked at the seeds inside for a moment before picking out five seeds.

"Then should I go out and plant them?"

Looking at the five seeds placed on the coffee table, Su Qun looked eager to try them out.

"We'll talk about it after the countdown ends—and it's best not to step onto the grass."

Bai Chen glanced at the guy, slightly annoyed.

"Once there's no plant in that square, you'll be considered a plant just for stepping into its area. What, didn't you read the information I shared with you before?"

As he spoke, Bai Chen picked up the seeds on the table, walked to the open gate, and then aimed at the front row of lawns, flicking the seeds out one by one.

Similar to the original Plants vs. Zombies, the lawn here is also divided into five lanes. Just as he finished planting all the seeds in his hand, the countdown above the lawn also reached zero.

However, perhaps to fit the occasion, when the countdown above the lawn reached zero, a very familiar background music started playing from somewhere on the field.

Bai Chen:

'

'

Thanks to his lucky streak, Ye Qingheng's success rate in selecting seeds can be described as quite high.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————

Of the five seeds planted in the early stages, three were sunflowers, and the remaining two were pea shooters, making it a wonderful start.

But soon, Bai Chen realized that something was wrong.

Logically, in the first wave, there should only be one or two zombies at most, but in the first wave alone, there was one zombie on each path, and the zombies on two of the paths were even barrel zombies.

At this time, the last Peashooter had just grown.

"How so, should we continue planting seeds?"

Looking at the menacing figure that appeared on the lawn, Su Qun walked to Bai Chen's side, his expression unusually serious.

"In the early stages, focus on accumulating sunlight. Let's clear out these zombies ourselves."

Bai Chen glanced at the sunlight, which had just been displayed as 25 o'clock, and shook his head.

It's 1 p.m. now, and there are still about five hours until dark. This isn't a game that can be finished in a short time; it's a protracted battle.

Can plants be enhanced?

After staring at the lawn in front of him for a while, Ye Qingheng turned to look at Bai Chen and suddenly asked a question.

"Sure, you can treat them like summoned creatures. You can even throw health potions at them, but all of these actions will consume sunlight."

While mentally calculating the time it would take for the zombies to reach the gate, Bai Chen answered without turning his head.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sunflower directly in front of him underwent a strange change.

With a flash of white light, a pair of floral sunglasses suddenly appeared on the sunflower's face, and a floor-standing microphone also appeared in front of it.

"You made this?"

Upon seeing the sunflower singer suddenly appear in front of him, Bai Chen was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Ye Qingheng beside him.

Ye Qingheng glanced at him but didn't reply. Instead, she pointed at another sunflower from a distance.

This time, as the white light dissipated, the sunflower that appeared in the same spot was upgraded to a two-headed sunflower.

However, when it came to the third sunflower, something unexpected happened. This time, the light that appeared was not white but black. As the black light dissipated, the original sunflower turned into a layer of black ash.

"————There is a success rate to enhancement."

Seeing that the two people next to her had turned to look at her, Ye Qingheng gave a slightly stiff reply after a brief silence.

"You were lucky the first two times, so it's normal for something to go wrong the third time."

Because of the existence of custom skill cards, each player's combat style is essentially determined as early as when they pass the novice trial.

Yuanqing, for example, follows the Summoner class, but unlike other Summoners, in order to have strong power in the early stages, she has set her own path as a probability-based Summoner.

Other summoners' summoning process involves releasing a skill, deducting the corresponding cost, and then summoning a creature. However, her summoning process involves a probability check after releasing the skill.

In other words, she could summon a powerful being far beyond her level, or she could summon a weakling, useless creature, or she might even fail to summon it and blow herself up.

Probability and randomness are the essence of her school of thought.
