Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 298 Pet Plant
When Zheng Zhuo woke up again, he was licked awake by something warm and moist.

Like a dog's tongue.Very pleasant touch.

"(animal……?)"

Zheng Zhuo slowly opened his eyes.

then.

He saw the huge, split mouthparts, the half-rotted petals, and the long, thin tongue protruding from them.

"Ugh!"

Zheng Zhuo jumped up from the ground.

……

Zheng Zhuo retreated some distance later, and was finally able to see the scene in front of him clearly.

He seemed to have just fallen from a height.Now, sit down on the lawn in front of the house.

Surrounding him are those...

... loofah flowers.

"(I remembered.)"

Zheng Zhuo grabbed the hair on his forehead.

This is 【Plant Disaster World】.

These are the loofah flowers he cultivated.

Zheng Zhuo bypassed them and looked into the distance.

Thick rhizomes and disorderly leaves surge.During this time, heads of various shapes and colors trembled.

He saw other surging strange plants.

Those plants have an unusually large stature.Apparently, during his absence, they devoured each other again and evolved.

"...If I never enter here again, will they continue to grow?"

Zheng Zhuo couldn't help but have this question.

【Subconscious World】It will function as usual without him.He knows this.After all, there are countless other consciousnesses here.

But the self-inflicted impact doesn't go away.

"If it continues to grow bigger, it will expand the forest. Then it will keep pushing outward..."

Maybe there will be a world destruction here too.

Then a new world is born on the ruins...

"It seems to be good."

Zheng Zhuo thought, this should be the law of [subconscious world] from ancient times to the present.

Speaking of which...

"what."

Zheng Zhuo remembered something again.

He remembered that every time he entered the [subconscious world] from the [real world], he had to go through the [pure white world] and the [golden world].

Then, remember...

Also remembered that he was always in a hurry.

"(Why?)"

Thinking of this, a very urgent emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

“(Am I also in a rush right now?)”

So the voice had been telling him to "get outside" before.

Where does "outside" refer to?
Zheng Zhuo still couldn't remember.

But he thought, no matter what, it must be the place where he will finally arrive after passing through the black void time and time again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt the danger.

The danger is as unfounded as the urgency.

It seemed that he had forgotten why things happened.But remember the emotions when those things happened.

"Something serious must have happened."

Zheng Zhuo said to himself.

have to be prepared...

He looked around.

Plants are everywhere.

Loofah flowers, snake vines, pumpkins, impatiens...

and unknown plants assembled from their parts.

At least they are not hostile.Zheng Zhuo passed between them.

What can he do with these plants?
"For eating...it shouldn't be like this."

He remembered assembling weapons out of their materials when he was here.

Can he do the same now?
Or……

Can weapons be taken away?

Zheng Zhuo started searching.

……

After a while, he reaped the rewards.

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Rhizom slime] + [Steel] + [Wooden Stick] + [Vine] + [Hard Shell Fragments] + [Hard Ratchet] = [Weeding Hacksaw]

【Engine Oil】+【Hard Shell Fragments】+【Lime Powder】+【Wheat Flour】+【Spines】+【Sacks】=【Explosive Bomb】

[Water] + [Wheat Flour] + [Rhizome Mucus] + [Lime Powder] + [Spine] + [Wood Glue] + [Plant Ash] + [Barbed Wire] + [Steel] = [Injury Trap]

【Corrosion Liquid】+【Lime Powder】+【Plant Ash】=【Avoidance Powder】

……

He slowly remembered many recipes.

then……

[Alchemy] skill is no longer available.But he noticed that the wide-mouthed plants had natural acid reactors in their mouths.

Throw materials in and they can mix the materials themselves.

"(The finished product is not as good as my own [alchemy], but it is better than nothing...)"

Zheng Zhuo held the [Weeding Hacksaw] pulled out from the mouthpart of the pumpkin, thinking.

That was not the [Weeding Hacksaw] in his impression.The sharp teeth protruding in all directions have grown to the handle, and the front is also uneven, and the saw blade is broken into three sections.

"Since you don't know what can be synthesized... then why not try them all."

Zheng Zhuo simply stuffed all available materials into the mouthparts of the pumpkin.

result……

"There are really not many that can be used."

Zheng Zhuo looked at the mess in front of him and thought.

All material synthesis can only produce inferior products.

"The finished product made by alchemy is better."

Zheng Zhuo said this, and picked up the [Long Spitfire Gun] from the ground.

That was the product he prepared by [Alchemy] before he left.

Not only the appearance is simple, but the performance is also first-class and strong.

After losing [Ability], Zheng Zhuo understood the importance of [Ability].

……

……rustle……

The forest was suddenly shaken by the wind.

"...?"

There was a strange, ethereal gravity coming from behind.Zheng Zhuo turned his head abruptly.

"Fleak..."

He saw spots of light.Spots of light danced around the hut, they scattered and gathered, and finally gathered together at the gate of the hut.

Then, they spin and spread out.

A black hole appeared at the door of the hut.

"The door to the next [subconscious world] is open, isn't it?"

Zheng Zhuo said.

but……

This time, he hasn't decided what to take with him.

His newly synthesized pile of garbage is obviously not very reliable.

He looked at his hands.

Just this 【Long Spitfire Gun】?

"(Don't know if it can be taken away.)"

Zheng Zhuo tentatively inserted the nozzle of the [Long Spitfire Gun] into the hole.

It only went in a little bit, and then pulled out.

"……Hey."

He saw the head of [Long Spitfire], and the parts that had entered the hole became transparent.It turned into a clear, viscous, slightly amorphous gel.

it looks like...

It was very similar to what the young woman's older brother turned out to be in the end.

"So, everything that goes in becomes like this."

Is it still usable?

This is what Zheng Zhuo is most concerned about.He squeezed the trigger cautiously.

Fire spurted from the shapeless jelly front.

"(Can……!)"

very good.

Zheng Zhuo decided to take it with him.He goes to the hole.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again.

He turned his head.

The loofah flowers hushed and huddled next to each other.

A thought suddenly appeared in Zheng Zhuo's mind.

"(Can these pet...plants be taken away?)"

……

Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The loofah flower let out an inexplicable cry, and raised the translucent vine tentacles.

Zheng Zhuo got the answer after the experiment.

can.

Next, I just don't know what state they will show after they are completely taken over, and whether they will be obedient.

For this reason, consider carefully...
