Chapter 7: The Strongest Gardener
MC POV:
~Ding~
You have level up.
Entity level 1 > 2 (tier 0)
~Ding~
Your skills have level up.
[Plant Command 2>3]
~Ding~
Earth coins balance= +2
(Xiao Mei) "Wow Brother! Your plant is so cool! It kills all the zombies!"
(George) "Haha. I am awesome right."
(Xiao Mei) "Not you! Your plant is the one that is awesome"
(George) "Ugh…"
Ignoring her remarks and looking at the notification, I realise that my [Seed Creation] and [Quick Growth] don't level up as I don't use it. Looks like I need to use it frequently to gain more plant and more level for quick growth.
After the encounter with 3 zombies, we descend to the 6th floor as we found another 2 zombies.
(George) 'Ugh… will there be at least 1 zombie for every level of the staircase? Why are they not in the hallway?'
Just as I want to command my peashooter to kill them all,
(Xiao Mei) "Wait! Let me try to kill them with my knife!" said Xiao Mei while holding her kitchen knife like a dagger(reverse grip).
(George) "Hmm? Sure." However, as I said that sentence, I remember something important.
(George) 'Wait! I forgot to mention that a weapon of tier 0 can't be used to kill them!'
However, before I told her, I could see in front of my eyes that she stabbed one of the 2 zombies from the back and killed it instantly.
(George) 'What! How is that possible? Is that knife a tier 1 weapon or higher?'
However before I could ask that question to her, I could see her vomit on the stairs and causing the other zombie's attention to be attracted to her.
(George) 'What the hell is she doing? Forget it <Plant Command>'
I run to her and pull her up the stairs from almost being bitten by the zombie as I command the peashooter which I have stationed at the top of the stairs to shoot at the zombies. As the zombie is finally killed and disappears into the orb and coin that I absorbed, I finally realise what is the problem.
It seems she can't handle the gore from the zombie's blood left on the floor and her knife that left after killing the zombie. It was such a surprise that the zombie's corpse she killed didn't disappear while the corpse killed by my plant disappeared.
The experience orbs are still produced from the now dead corpse that she automatically absorbed, but the remainder of the corpse or the body of the corpse along with the coins which need to be touched physically to be retrieved is still there. Although I don't know why that is only happening to her killed zombie, I should comfort her first before pondering this issue.
(George) "Xiao Mei? Are you okay? If you are unwell, how about you just stay in your room and I will bring you some supplies back when I come back?" I said after helping her stand up.
(Xiao Mei) "Ugh… NO! I'm okay Brother George! I just didn't expect my zombie to not disappear like you do after it is dead." replied her with her face showing an awfully disgusted expression.
(George) "Well, zombies are technically already dead haha. As for how your zombie is not disappearing, I also didn't know what happened."
(George) "Anyway, how are you able to kill those zombies with your knife? Dimensional being is not supposed to be able to be killed or injured by a tier 0 weapon right? Or is your knife tier 1 or a higher weapon?"
(Xiao Mei) "Ha? I just know about that too! Why didn't you tell me before? If I somehow can't kill it with my knife and die after being bitten, how are you supposed to take responsibility?" Said her with threatening eyes. She looks somehow scary with her pale expression after vomiting.
(George) "Ah!? I am sorry… I forgot to tell you that as before I rushed my explanation and forgot to tell you about the announcement."
(Xiao Mei) "Humph! If you are sorry, you better explain all the announcements to me and also carry my backpack since I can't carry it while I am fighting as it hinders my movement."
(George) "Okay okay, princess." I said to tease her attitude which somehow looked like a princess which she usually did when she was able to answer a question from a worksheet I gave her.
I put her backpack in my inventory even though it cost me ⅔ of my mana as usual. This makes me regret bringing her with me… But well, it was my fault that I forgot to explain the details to her.
It takes around a minute to explain all the announcement content to her as she finally understands it and is thinking about it right now.
(Xiao Mei) "Hmm… I see so it is like that huh? It was such a pity that I don't get the mage class as using magic sounds fun to me. As for the reason why I can kill it with my knife, It might be because of my skill, here you can see it <Status><Show to others>. Oh! And also show me your status, until now, I never know what is your class since you never say it."
(George) "Fine. <Status><Show to other>."
As I know that she is at least trustworthy, I show her my status despite my shock at knowing she knows how to share a status screen even though I don't know about this function until now. Geez, the younger generation sure adapt faster at technology and change huh? Wait, this makes me sound so old...Ahem let's just look at the status.

From the status, you first notice that my inventory is now the skill with the highest level. It was because when I put all the pot in my inventory, the experience skyrocketed. Together with the fact I can just regenerate my mana in the garden with the sunflower, I grind my inventory to a suitable level as I finally left my garden.
Back to Xiao Mei's status, It was an understatement to say that I was shocked when I looked at her status…
I was so shocked for several reasons. Firstly it is because she uses Chi instead of mana like me. However, upon recalling that it was stated in the Earth announcement before that there will be a variety of energy, I can somehow understand it.
I can also understand her skills such as stealth and the 3 passive skills which are the answer to my question from before. She is able to kill the zombies with a knife, hell even she is able to use her hand if she wants to.
However, what I can't understand is her perk. What the hell is that? If done correctly, She is able to give 5 times as much damage as she would have done normally. It is so unbalanced! Even my perk only gives me double damage to the zombies variant!
Another thing that shocked me is that she is not just an assassin but probably a special class shadow assassin. In fact, looking at the perk title, her class is the reason for her cheat perk.
(George) "Hah… I understand now let's go down the stairs once again."
(Xiao Mei) "Wait! You are a gardener!? AHAHAHA! To think that Brother is in fact a gardener! It is okay Brother! I will always protect you as a knight! Eh... No… As an Assassin from your shadow ahahahaha!!!" said her as she laughed so hard...Her laugh might even attract a zombie at this rate hah...
(George) "Oh shut up, when I become more OP as I level up, don't cry when you become weaker than me. At that time, I will become your knight and protect you. Oh! Not as your knight! But as your gardener who is secretly the strongest in the whole world, oh my princess." I said with a grin.
(Xiao Mei) "You? The strongest gardener? AHAHAHAHAHA, that is the most hilarious joke I ever heard!"
(George) "Alright Alright! Let's just exterminate the zombie and see." I said annoyed.
We then descend to the 5th floor to continue our journey.
