[The seeds planted yesterday can be harvested today?]
[Don’t you feel like the streamer’s smile is gradually turning creepy?]
[Is this sharpening the knife for the crops?]
The newcomers in the bullet comments were intrigued by a kitchen knife.
The veteran fans revealed sinister smiles, waiting to see the newcomers get hit with a shock.
Just when they needed an explanation the most, Lu Liuhe muted herself and walked straight ahead along the field path.
The audience in the Livestream Room could clearly see that the fields were divided into neat, square plots by two-meter-wide cement paths.
Each plot had a sign indicating the land area and the crop to be planted there.
However, at the moment, all the plots were empty. The soil had been turned over long ago, but there wasn’t a single crop or even a weed in sight.
Lu Liuhe walked for about five minutes.
On the light screen, a sparse patch of plants appeared.
The distance was a bit far, so the audience could only see lush green stems and pink flowers swaying without wind, strikingly beautiful.
The newcomers marveled.
[Such beautiful flowers.]
The veteran fans smiled without a word.
When the distance closed a little more.
The newcomers felt their scalps tingle and immediately vomited.
Those weren’t flowers at all—they were petals made of pink, human-like tongues, wriggling like fleshy worms.
“These are D-Class Mutated Plants. Most have no attacking power or infectiousness. Only a very few possess special abilities, like being poisonous, able to release toxic gas to kill people, or even carnivorous types that eat humans.” Lu Liuhe, long accustomed to such sights, calmly identified the plants before her.
The original host had been poisoned to death.
The original host’s parents and grandfather had all been killed by those carnivorous D-Class Mutated Plants.
Thinking this, she raised the large knife in her hand and swiftly chopped down all the plants with a few clean strokes.
Then, she leisurely picked up the agricultural sprayer nearby, slung it over her back, and sprayed the still-wriggling, disgusting plants with the agent.
The Livestream Room audience watched as the repulsive, squirming things quickly dehydrated, shrank, and finally turned into grayish-brown, stone-like objects after being sprayed.
“This is a specialized Cleaning Agent for Mutated Plants, with perfect effectiveness.” As she spoke, Lu Liuhe bent down, picked up a small stone, and said, “It has lost its activity. It just needs to be sealed and stored, then handed over to the Mutation Cleanup Department for processing within a month.”
She picked up a sealed bag from nearby and collected the small stones one by one.
On the bullet comments.
A message suddenly popped up.
[Streamer, look at the ground beside your feet. Isn’t that a piece of broken leaf you missed? It’s still moving.]
[That doesn’t look like a leaf. It seems like a small plant.]
Lu Liuhe’s brainwaves were constantly connected to the Livestream Room. Even without looking at the bullet comments, she knew what they were saying. At this moment, she felt her scalp tingle.
Before she could even confirm it, her body moved faster than her mind could react, and she quickly stepped back.
The moment she retreated, that small emerald-green plant rapidly grew, reaching three meters tall in an instant. Its two-meter-long, barbed, serrated leaves quickly spread out in all directions.
The pale yellow flower at the tip of the leaf stalk, resembling a human head, slowly turned toward her direction as if watching her.
Lu Liuhe recognized it at a glance—this was a dandelion—and clearly knew that the dandelion before her was definitely not D-Class.
The Livestream Room went wild.
Watching as those sharp, terrifyingly large leaves began to move.
Frenzied reminders flooded in.
【Host, it’s attacking you, it’s going to attack you.】
【Run!】
Lu Liuhe saw it, and the leaf’s attack was already upon her. The enormous leaves, like saws, hacked toward her madly.
Dodging the attacks while gritting her teeth, she muttered, “I’d love to run, but I’d have to be able to. This thing clearly wants me dead.”
Bullet Comments jumped frantically.
【Host, you can do it! Take it down, I believe in you.】
【Holy shit, the Wasteland is terrifying.】
【Is the host going to be killed?】
【Host, survive! If you can just survive, I’ll help you gain fans and boost your popularity.】
Lu Liuhe had no mood to check the Bullet Comments. Relentlessly attacked by the leaves, she was barely managing to cope. She swung the knife in her hand at them.
With a sharp crack, the leaves remained unscathed, while her knife shattered.
To make matters worse, the Base’s intelligent system emitted a piercing alarm at that moment.
The emotionless mechanical voice warned her: 【Warning, warning. C-Class Mutated Dandelion detected. Seeds will enter maturity stage in 110 seconds.
In 110 seconds, the Base will initiate self-destruct mode.】
Lu Liuhe cursed inwardly.
【Countdown begins: 110, 109…】
This wasn’t just a countdown.
For Lu Liuhe, it was a death warrant.
Before the countdown ended,
either she would be killed by the monster, ending it all,
or she would kill the monster.
Otherwise, she would be instantly vaporized and vanish alongside this monstrosity in the Base’s self-destruct sequence.
The Bullet Comments continued to cheer her on wildly.
Panting heavily, Lu Liuhe finally retreated beyond the leaves’ attack range by relying on her agile dodging. Before the leaves grew larger and attacked again, she decided to try a desperate measure.
Her hands swiftly formed seals as she drew a Talisman in the air. Her low voice, solemn and imbued with boundless power, echoed: “Nine Heavens’ Thunder, heed my command, annihilate!”
Pointing with two fingers toward the monster opposite her,
a deafening explosion erupted.
A ferocious, terrifying bolt of thunder, brimming with supreme power, materialized out of thin air, crackling and flashing as it struck the monster directly.
After an ear-splitting thunderclap,
sparks flew amid flashes of lightning, like divine wrath. Thick smoke billowed, obscuring everything from view.
The emotionless mechanical voice halted, then resumed: 【Mutated energy detected to have dissipated. Self-destruct mode canceled.】
That voice.
Was nothing short of heavenly music.
Lu Liuhe’s face was deathly pale, drenched in cold sweat. Having narrowly escaped death, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
The audience in the Livestream Room was stunned.
【Holy shit, the host is amazing!】
【A C-Class Mutated Plant, just like that?】
【The hand seals the host just made were so cool. That’s Taoist magic, right? Host, I declare that from today, you’re my idol. Please accept my bow.】
【The host used to be a Demon Hunter. Demon Hunters, you know? They’re Taoist masters.】
Lu Liuhe truly had no mood to chat idly with them at the moment.
To them, she was just an electronic pet. If she died, they would at most mourn her for a moment before moving on to watch other streamers.
But for her, she faced real life-and-death challenges.
Before her eyes.
The thick smoke gradually dissipated.
Lu Liuhe adjusted her emotions, stood up, and prepared to see what had become of the mutated dandelion.
The ground.
Suddenly began to shake violently.
Then, her mind was assaulted by a sharp sonic wave. The intense pain made her vision darken, her ears ring, and her stomach churn.
