In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 649 The Beginning Daisy

The Masked Society is a strange organization whose members frequently appear on the Federation and Empire's wanted lists.

These "actors," who wear various masks, address each other by code names and never easily reveal their true faces.

Their style of doing things is incredibly unpredictable; they neither plunder resources nor seek power, seemingly only to demonstrate their existence to the world.

Some say these actors are incomprehensible madmen who travel around the modern world, always creating different kinds of chaos.

Some say that these actors are strategists who have entered the game themselves and won by a hair's breadth, and that everything they do is to influence the fate of this garden planet.

The federal database contains an astonishing amount of information about the Masked Society, but most of it is filled with contradictory speculations or unverifiable rumors.

The only reliable intelligence that can be confirmed by multiple forces and factions is that the actors possess an almost artistic ability to disguise and infiltrate, as well as an obsessive pursuit of "dramatic scenes."

It is not surprising that this letter appeared in the mailbox of courtyard 5905 in such a bizarre way.

If the final signature is correct, it is undoubtedly the work of a masked actor.

Mo Chen extinguished the flame at his fingertips, and the words on the letter faded and disappeared.

He carefully folded the letter in half, put it back into the envelope, and then put the envelope into his secret space for safekeeping.

Now, Mo Chen can finally answer that question—should he go and meet the other party?

The answer is yes. Regardless of whether the sender, who claims to be from the Masked Society, is friend or foe, Mo Chen has to go to that coordinate location before midnight.

It concerned that dream world and Adele, who had always been waiting for him, so he had no reason to refuse her invitation.

In order to find the girl from his dreams in reality, Mo Chen needs to know more information.

And now, a masked actor "just happened" to present this opportunity to him.

Like an invisible and intangible thread, it silently wrapped around his fingers, leading him toward the unknown ahead.

Whether it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair ahead, I'll brave it.

Gazing at the ruined city shrouded in night, Mo Chen took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back into the courtyard.

Before setting off, he needed to make some necessary preparations.

······

"That's how it happened, Da Bao. I plan to go to the coordinates mentioned in the letter."

Mo Chen's tone was calm, yet it revealed an undeniable firmness.

"The actors of the Masked Troupe... a bunch of nonsensical, mentally unstable performers, Mo Chen, do you really want to believe them?"

Holding the blank letter, Xiao Da frowned and asked incredulously.

Seeing that Mo Chen's expression did not change at all, she paused, and a hint of worry appeared in her voice: "It's already very late. You know how dangerous it is in the ruined city. For that enchanting mushroom spirit that can't be found in the world network, do you really want to risk your life alone?"

Xiao Da's tone was soft, yet it was like a fine needle, precisely piercing the softest spot in Mo Chen's heart.

"It's precisely because the person cannot be found that I'm planning to go there."

In the quiet control room, Mo Chen's voice was exceptionally clear, and his eyes became serious: "In that dream, I personally promised Adele that I would find her in reality."

Xiao Da opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say a few words of advice to her homeowner, but in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh.

"Alright, alright, since you've made your decision, Mo Chen, I won't stop you. Just be careful, but..."

She thought for a moment, then took out a small yellow and white daisy and handed it to Mo Chen: "Just in case, take this with you."

"what is this?"

Mo Chen took the daisy and curiously poked it with his finger.

Seeing that Mo Chen's large hand was getting restless, Xiao Da quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Don't move around. This is the 'Starting Daisy,' a very precious one-time use item."

"Very precious?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen quickly withdrew his hand, no longer daring to touch the daisy.

"That's right. In Crazy Dave's shop, one costs a full ten million World Points. After purchasing it, you still need to plant it under the Community Tree in the War Garden and perform a binding ceremony."

Xiao Da breathed a sigh of relief, then explained, "By tearing off all the petals of the starting daisy, it can directly teleport the user back to the courtyard they are bound to."

"Hearthstone? No, a one-time town portal scroll?"

Mo Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and he uttered two terms that Xiao Da had only seen in novels.

"You can think of it this way: this is a way to save the homeowner's life. For every level the courtyard is upgraded, you can get a starting daisy for free."

In other words, there are only three such powerful items in courtyard number 5905, which is at the first-tier advanced level.

"Ten million world points... isn't too expensive. I'll buy more and store them next time I go shopping."

Unwittingly uttering words reminiscent of Versailles, Mo Chen stored the starting daisy in his hand into the secret realm space.

"Don't worry, Dabao, I know what I'm doing."

Mo Chen bent down and gently rubbed Xiao Da's head, solemnly promising, "I will return as soon as I obtain the information."

"After all, the other party is an actor from the Masked Society, so you'd better be careful."

After confirming that the coordinates provided by the other party were not too far from courtyard number 5905, Xiao Da was still a little uneasy: "Aren't you really going to take a few plant spirit warriors with you?"

"The actor emphasized in the letter that I should go to the meeting place 'alone'. Since that's the case, I can't be the first to break my principles."

Mo Chen shook his head, rejecting Xiao Da's suggestion.

"Stubborn as a mule, fine, be careful on your journey."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Xiao Da, Mo Chen went to the garage next to the house, intending to drive his snail vehicle to his destination.

But as soon as he stepped into the garage and turned on the lights, he was startled by the snail-like vehicle that came into view.

"No way, how did my car get modified like this?"

The original black motorcycle had disappeared, and in its place appeared a futuristic motorcycle that looked strangely familiar to Mo Chen.

Its entire body is covered with highly technological blue and white armor, which gleams with a cold metallic luster under the light.

The car's lines are sharp yet elegant, exuding a beauty that combines power and speed.

In particular, the large "19C" on a certain part of the locomotive blatantly points out who did this.

Who is the culprit behind the extreme modifications to the appearance of snail vehicles? The answer is self-evident.

With a dark expression, Mo Chen quickly opened his personal terminal and checked his Sunflower Card account.

As expected, the account showed that one million World Points had just been spent ten minutes ago to purchase a Shapeshifting Chip that could change the "skin" of the snail vehicle.

Mo Chen hadn't forgotten that a certain artificial intelligence was quite envious of his snail-like vehicle.
