When Zheng Zhuo woke up again, he was woken up by something warm and wet.

Like a dog's tongue. Very comfortable to the touch.

"(Animal......? ）」

Zheng Zhuo slowly opened his eyes.

And then.

He saw large, cracked mouthparts, half-rotten petals, and the long, thin tongue sticking out of it.

"Uh-huh!"

Zheng Zhuo bounced off the ground violently.

……

Zheng Zhuohou withdrew some distance and was finally able to see the scene in front of him clearly.

It was as if he had just fallen from a great height. Now, sit down on the lawn in front of the house.

Around him were the ......

…… Loofah flowers.

"(I remember.) ）」

Zheng Zhuo grabbed the hair on his forehead.

This is the World of Plant Disasters.

These are the loofah flowers he cultivated.

Zheng Zhuo walked around them and looked into the distance.

Thick rhizomes and disorganized leaves swelled. In the meantime, heads of all shapes and colors trembled.

He saw other strange plants surging around.

The plants were unusually large. It seems that during his absence, they devoured each other again and evolved.

「…… If I never enter here again, will they continue to grow bigger?"

Zheng Zhuo couldn't help but have this question.

The subconscious world would have run as usual without him. He knew that. After all, there are countless other people's consciousnesses here.

But the impact of oneself will not go away.

"If it keeps getting bigger, the forest will expand. And then keep squeezing it outward......

Maybe there's going to be a world destruction here.

And then a new world is born from the ruins......

"Doesn't seem good."

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

Speaking of which......

"Ahh

Zheng Zhuo remembered something again.

He remembered that every time he entered the [Subconscious World] from the [Real World], he had to pass through the [Pure White World] and the [Golden World].

Then, I still remembered......

I also remembered that he was always in a hurry.

"(Why?) ）」

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

"(Am I in a hurry now?) ）」

In that case, the voice had been telling him to "go outside."

What does "outside" mean?

Zheng Zhuo still can't remember.

But he thought that no matter what, it must be the place where he would finally arrive after passing through the black hollow again and again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt danger.

This danger is as unwarranted as urgency.

It seems that he has forgotten why it happened. But remember the emotions when those things happened.

"Something very serious must have happened."

Zheng Zhuo said to himself.

You have to be prepared......

He looked around.

There are plants everywhere.

Loofah flowers, snake vines, gourds, impatiens......

and unknown plants cobbled together from their parts.

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

What could he do with these plants?

"For eating...... I don't think so."

He remembered that when he was here, he used their materials to assemble weapons.

Can he do the same now?

Or rather......

Can I take the weapon away?

Zheng Zhuo began to search.

……

After some time, he reaped the rewards.

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Rhizome Slime] + [Steel] + [Stick] + [Vine] + [Hardshell Shard] + [Hard Ratchet] = [Weeding Hacksaw]

[Oil] + [Hard Shell Shard] + [Lime Powder] + [Wheat Flour] + [Spike] + [Sack] = [Explosive Bomb]

[Water] + [Wheat Flour] + [Rhizome Slime] + [Lime Powder] + [Thorn] + [Wood Gum] + [Plant Ash] + [Barbed Wire] + [Steel] = [Damage Trap]

[Corrosive Liquid] + [Lime Powder] + [Plant Ash] = [Powder Avoidance]

……

He slowly remembered many recipes.

And then......

The [Alchemy] skill cannot be used. But he noticed that the plants with their mouths wide open had natural acid reactors in their mouths.

Throw the ingredients in and they can mix the materials on their own.

"(The finished product is not as good as the [alchemy] of its own, but it is better than nothing...... ? ）」

Zheng Zhuo held the [weeding hacksaw] pulled out of the mouthparts of the gourd and thought.

That's not what he remembered as a "weeding hacksaw". The tines protruding in all directions had grown to the handle, the front was uneven, and the saw blade was broken into three sections.

"I don't know what I can craft...... Why don't you try them all?"

Zheng Zhuo simply stuffed all the materials that could be used into the mouthparts of the gourd.

Outcome......

"There really aren't a few that can be used."

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

All materials can only be crafted to make degraded products.

"It's better to make a finished product made of alchemy."

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

It was the product of [Alchemy] that he had prepared before leaving.

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

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

……

…… Rustling......

The forest suddenly shook because of the wind.

「……？」

There was a strange, ethereal gravitational pull coming from behind. Zheng Zhuo turned his head sharply.

"Spot ......"

He saw the light spots. Spots of light fluttered around the hut, scattering and converging, and finally, coming together at the door of the hut.

Then, they swirl and scatter.

A black hole appeared in the door of the hut.

"The door to the next [subconscious world] is open, right?"

Zheng Zhuo said.

But......

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

His newly synthesized pile of garbage is apparently unreliable.

He looked into his hands.

Is this the [Long Spitfire]?

"(I don't know if it can be taken away.) ）」

Zheng Zhuo tentatively inserted the nozzle of the [Long Flame Lance] into the hole.

I just put it in a little bit, and then I pulled it out.

「…… Hey."

He saw the head of the [Long Spitfire], the parts that had once entered the hole becoming transparent. It turns into a clear, viscous, slightly amorphous gelatin.

It looks like ......

It's a lot like what the young girl's brother became at the end.

"So, that's what happens to everything that goes in."

Can it still be used?

This is what Zheng Zhuo is most concerned about. He carefully pulled the trigger.

Fire erupted from the amorphous gelatinous tip.

"(Yes......! ）」

Very good.

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

But he didn't take a few steps before he stopped again

Come.

He turned his head.

The loofah flowers purred and huddled together.

A thought suddenly appeared in Zheng Zhuo's heart.

"(These pets...... Plants, can you take them? ）」

……

Woohoo woohoo.

The loofah let out an inexplicable cry and raised its translucent vine tentacles.

Zheng Zhuo got the answer after the test.

OK.

Next, I don't know what state they will be in after they are completely brought over, and whether they will be obedient or not.

For this, it is prudent to consider......
