You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

As Bao Ge spoke, he put the AR helmet on his head with a look of anticipation.

Just now, he completed a major update for Plants vs. Zombies.

Meanwhile, today marks the start of Season 2. The two-tile fusion plants that some people were talking about before still haven't appeared. Instead, some new regular plants and one-tile fusion plants have been added, and the strength of the original plants has been adjusted.

For example, the god-tier Water Drop Shooter from last season has had its damage significantly reduced after balancing.

Including Bao Ge's Spiky Okra, its attack speed has been reduced from 8.0 to 6.5...

This is an epic nerf.

Some plants that were previously unremarkable have received significant improvements this time.

The main goal is balanced development, but in reality, Chen Feng himself knows this.

It's impossible to achieve perfect balance in this kind of game.

Due to differences in attack methods and monster types, there will always be some plants that are considered top-tier, and others that are considered bottom-tier.

No matter how you modify it, you can never achieve perfect balance.

However, today...

After entering the game, Bao Ge did not immediately start the crafting process that everyone usually enjoys the most.

The game Plants vs. Zombies has been online for several months.

A large number of streamers became regular players, and some former small streamers became popular because of the game, accumulating hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans.

Although these streamers all stream the game Plants vs. Zombies, their focuses are different.

Each has its own highlights.

For example, Xiao Dingdang focuses on first-hand data analysis and technical skill-based learning; most of his viewers are there to learn technical skills.

Then, Deyunshe Xiaoxiao's side focuses on being funny and silly, so everyone can go and have some fun.

And then there's Teacher Piao's casual playstyle, where he wants to try out every plant, but he can't upgrade any of them to level five; it's purely for fun.

As for Brother Bao, what's most attractive about him right now is his aggressive pay-to-win gameplay.

Basically, every day he plays the game, and fans can see that Brother Bao spends at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands, on the game to heavily invest in his character. He also gives gifts to his fans from time to time.

Having played the game for a while, Brother Bao already has nearly twenty fully-fledged Tier 5 plants.

Whether it's the sewers or the phantom gods, they're basically all there.

He doesn't even do much map clearing anymore; he's mostly focused on training and strengthening characters, but fans just love watching that.

He is also the Plants vs. Zombies streamer who has spent the most money on in-game purchases.

Having played the game for so long, Bao Ge has already spent over three million RMB in his account.

Of course, if he were to sell this account, it could fetch over two million; currently, game accounts are still very valuable.

……

As for today.

Bao Ge, contrary to his usual behavior, went straight into a new gameplay mode in the game.

Front yard model.

"As you all know, brothers, the garden we've always defended with plants is our backyard."

"Then a few rooms in the back of the house were unlocked, but the front yard was still inaccessible."

"I believe everyone is curious about what the front yard is used for."

"Holy crap, I wanted to know too! It finally updated today!"

As he spoke, Brother Bao excitedly entered the new mode.

However, once inside, Bao Ge was completely dumbfounded.

Because he suddenly realized that after entering the front yard, he was no longer playing himself in the game.

Seemingly sensing something in his line of sight, Bao Ge subconsciously reached out and touched his chin.

Then, the texture of a large clump of hair appeared in my hand.

Holy crap!!!!

"I've become Dave!!!"

After realizing what had happened, Bao Ge couldn't hold back anymore.

Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream were incredibly excited to see this.

[Holy crap! It really is Dave!]

What the heck is this front yard mode? Why have the roles changed? Does this mean we're supposed to play Dave?

[Hahaha! Haven't you guys been wondering what Dave does in his spare time? Well, the mystery's about to be revealed today.]

Previously, we players always guarded the backyard, and we always knew there was a front yard, but we didn't know what the situation was like there, whether there were zombies invading, and if so, who was defending it.

It seems the truth is out now; Dave was the one guarding the front yard.

[As the developer of the Super Seed, Dave should have even stronger seeds by now, right?]

The official description says this front yard mode is a fun mode. Does that mean we can experience all the level 5 plants for free?

Holy crap! If that's really true, that would be awesome!

[I've always wanted to see just how powerful level 5 plants really are. Will I finally get to experience that in this front yard mode today?]

……

Unlike the normal game mode with a well-developed storyline and gameplay, the so-called front yard mode is just an entertainment mode.

There are no items or rewards in this mode; there is only a kill record and a leaderboard.

Aside from being a fun and entertaining game, it doesn't have any other features.

Meanwhile, the front yard mode currently has no pay-to-win elements; it's purely a fun mode.

"Alright, guys, let's start a game and give it a try."

Because Fengyun Games had not previously announced the specific gameplay details for the Front Yard mode.

So all the players are still in the dark.

To find out exactly what this thing is, you have to experience it for yourself.

However, the moment Bao Ge clicked "Start Game" and entered the scene, he was completely dumbfounded...

"Holy crap! How did I end up with a shotgun?"

"No! What about my front garden? What about my seeds?"

"Where is my Sunflower Queen? Where is my Spiny Okra?"

"How can I fight without these?"

Completely bewildered, Bao Ge asked several questions in a row.

But at this moment, zombies began to appear one after another on the other side.

The frequency of these zombie appearances is significantly faster than the previous plant-based defense mode.

In the short time it took to be stunned, more than a dozen zombies appeared in front of him, and some of them were even barrel zombies.

"Never mind, trolls are weapons too!"

As the zombie drew closer and closer to Dave, whom he was controlling, Bao suppressed the countless questions that filled his mind.

Try pulling the trigger.

boom! ! !

After a deafening gunshot, the three ordinary zombies at the front of the group instantly turned into a bloody dance and vanished.

Seeing this, not only Bao Ge, but also all the viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back...

Holy crap!!! Is this a troll?!

[Wow, Dave's this awesome?]

【You good-for-nothing, spending your days anxiously guarding that backyard. Who do you think is guarding the front yard for you?】

[Sorry Dave, I used to think of you as a nobody, I never imagined you were the real hidden master!]

"No wonder I haven't seen him around much. Turns out, my brother Dave was wielding a shotgun and wreaking havoc in the front yard..."

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand!

[With Dave holding the pass, nothing can break through...]
