Chapter 12: Status Check
MC POV:
(George) "Let's see what we got from the Gargantuar and the Imps."
(Xiao Mei) "Ummm what is Gargantuar and Imps? Is that how you name that big zombie and its child? To think even someone of your age is still trying to create a cool sounding name like that… Are you one of those chuunibyou?"
(George) ".....No! That is what was written in one of my skills!" I answered with an annoyed tone. I was somehow annoyed that she just mentioned that now as I already call that zombie gargantuar before when we are discussing strategy.
(George) 'Did she just return to her usual annoying personality? What happened to her before?.....forget it, now it is time to loot.'
(Xiao mei) "What! You have one of those appraisal skills! What a cheat" said her with a jealous expression.
(George) "It is called ''Almanac", you remember? It was in my status before but you ignored it." I told her as I think that Almanac really somehow resembles appraisal if not that I need to kill the enemy first before getting its information…
(Xiao Mei) "Of course I forgot! I just think there is no way a gardener like you can have good skills! Anyway, show me your status again, I think it changes already from the level up after defeating this boss. Here is mine <Status><show to others>" said her as she show her status that has changed from before.
(George) "Fine, fine, here you go <status><show to others>."
I showed her my status as I glanced at her status while walking toward the last location of the gargantuar as I only get some an Earth coin from the Imps zombies.

Looking at the long list of my status and Xiao Mei status, I can find several new changes and differences. The main difference is that Xiao Mei didn't get the perk of "Crash of the Titan" which gives bonus damage to enemies bigger than our current size.
Is it because I give the last damage to the gargantuar or is it because of other factors such as because I kill it with half of its health remaining or with explosion? I bet if she also got this title, she would become more of a cheat as given her small figure, it basically gives double damage to everything.
Moving on to my new status that has changed by a lot since I evolved to Tier 1, I can see several new skills in the status. The first is [Warfare mode] that I get from the [Dimensional Gardener] class. It seems similar to how the plant's character in PVZ garden warfare can move, however I am still not sure whether it will also give the special skills that the game has for each plant.
This skill likely behaves as how my other skills behave where its only limitation is my skill command range which has become very far right now, even my sunflower in my apartment is now producing suns again and providing me with extra regenerations.
My plants behave like a machine while my skills [Plant command] behave as its remote control. When it is out of range, it will stop working. So like my sunflower before, although it can give me mana in infinite range, it stops producing mana after it is out of the range of my [Plant Command] skills. Since now I can command in a range of 1.2km, it was of no concern to me now though.
Another new skill that I got is [Dimensional Car Key]. Is this what I think it is!!?? I found out that once I reached level 10, my [Seed Creation] skills stopped providing me new plants and from the plant it gives me until now, it doesn't follow any PVZ game.
It only gives me the basic plants and the required plants for each terrain such as lily pad and flower pots(don't ask me why a pot is a plant). Does that mean I need to buy the rest of the plant from Crazy Dave??
I got a large impulse to use this skill right away, but I hold it in as I know that summoning a truck filled with stuff in front of this apartment where there might be some watchful eyes due to our fight from before, might cause chaos.
Beside the new skills, I also get the derivative skills from skills that level up. Though I wonder why the [Plant Command] skills and [Quick Growth] skills don't give me derivative skills? Well it might be the skill's level is not high enough.
[Seed o Kinetic] is basically a psychokinetic that only works on seed. It will be useful to plant something farther than my reach. Although it is limited by the [Plant Command] skills, it was of my concern since I became a tier 1.
Besides all that, [Inventory] is finally able to stop time! With this, I can store any food without worrying it will be spoilt! Although I am basically a walking farm, it is limited to plants. I also need meat okay, I don't want to spend the rest of apocalypse eating baseball size peas, cabbage, walnut or cherry….I might not eat this one.
After finishing inspecting my new status, I then observe the explosion site where gargantuar has disappeared as ashes since a few minutes ago. I found a few Earth coins which I collected for now and will give half of it to Xiao Mei later. I also found 2 plant foods which I put inside inventory.
Besides coins, is our main attraction, a dagger and a rake? Why the heck is there a rake in our drops? The weirdest thing is that both the dagger and rake is of Tier 1!! I really want an appraisal right now to know what is so special about this seemingly ordinary rake.
I put the rake in my inventory while giving the dagger to Xiao Mei as she finally finishes checking my status and her status while murmuring that I steal her last damage bonus. Looks like she is mad about it huh… Well looks like her expression brightens as I give her a dagger that is dropped.
We then go outside the apartment as we come to the minimart to restock my inventory!
