Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System

Chapter 126: Golden Legendry Chest



Chapter 126: Golden Legendry Chest

“Aahh—!” Vikram groaned in pain as his body twitched slightly, the Healer Sprout’s soft green energy flowing into him. The pain was unbearable, sharp and deep, like every bone inside him had been shattered and forced back together.

His breathing was uneven. His body barely responded.

“Damn it…” he muttered, forcing his eyes open. “That idiot… he broke half my bones…”

He tried to lift his hand. It didn’t move. “…Shit.”

But slowly, very slowly, sensation began returning. The Healer Sprout worked tirelessly, its vines glowing as they continued restoring his body. Around him, the other Sprouts and Druids had also started recovering. Some were cracked, some damaged, but none of them were destroyed. They were alive, just like him.

Vikram’s gaze shifted forward, toward that hand.

Split King’s severed hand lay not far away, still and silent. But the ground around it told a different story. A small crater had formed where it had landed, cracks spreading outward. Even the nearby walls were damaged just from its impact. And yet, it wasn’t dead.

“…Even after being cut off from consciousness…” Vikram muttered under his breath. “…it still has this much power…That monster was on a completely different level.”

He exhaled slowly. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face. “…Well… good thing I’m still alive.”

Despite the pain, despite the situation, he wasn’t panicking anymore. As long as his Plant Team was with him, he still had a chance.

He leaned his head back slightly, staring upward. “…Now then…”

His tone changed, slightly annoyed, slightly irritated. “You useless system… where the hell are my rewards?”

His voice was weak, but his frustration was real. “Because of you… I almost got killed…”

He let out a slow breath. “…I came here too early…”

There was a hint of regret in his voice now. Tonight he has plans of doing foursome after the tenth wave was cleared, he only sees foursome action in some special movies, but never done it.

And tonight after the wave was over, he was going to taste Kavya, Sana and Ayesha, filling in how the Foursome thing is in reality. But that stupid Split King has ruined his chance.

At the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, a huge tremor came from inside the Ruins.

It was exactly like the commotion inside the Wolf Spirit Ruins, also coming from deep within the Ruins, accompanied by a buzzing sound, and the surrounding air began to solidify somewhat.

Streams of light and color suddenly appeared all over the walls, gradually converging towards one spot from all directions of the Ruins.

However, this time the converging location was not the center of the Ruins, but where the Zombie Leader had appeared and the gate was.

The originally dark passage was now illuminated by the light appearing on the walls. The color revealed was still a cold gray-white, but it dispelled much of the gloom in the passage.

Vikram’s gaze shifted to the center of the ground. At that moment, the light within the ruins began gathering there, converging into a single point. Slowly, an item started to form before his eyes.

A chest.

Golden light radiated from its surface, and the intricate decorations carved across it made it clear, this was no ordinary chest.

“Only Legendary quality… so much worse than I expected,” Vikram murmured.

For the first time, the Wasteland System responded.

[User has failed the task. The Zombie Leader has reached both the wall and the town.]

[You have achieved D Rank.]

“What the fuck? I killed so many zombies, cleared up to the tenth wave, and just because the Zombie Lord appeared, my points were demoted?” Vikram shouted in anger.

But the Wasteland System didn’t reply.

Vikram cursed under his breath, hoping at least his Plant Life System buddy would compensate him.

And soon, it did. But not in the way he expected.

[User, you are truly useless. Even with such a strong team, you still lost the battle.]

[In my entire existence, I have never seen such a useless host.]

[It would have been better if I had chosen a monkey. It would be far more intelligent than you.]

“Will you stop mocking me?!” Vikram shouted in anger, his frustration boiling over after the constant insults from the Plants Life System.

He had thought the rewards would ease his mood, and his broken heart would recover. But instead, the Plant Life System shattered whatever was left of his broken heart.

If this had been a cultivation world, and he was some cultivator, his cultivation dao would be shattered by the mocking of the Plant Life System.

[Tch. Seeing how pitiful you are, the system will still grant you rewards, with heavy deductions. And that is only thanks to your Healer Sprout. Even in its sprout form, it is more intelligent than you and knows how to handle situations better.]

“Just give me the reward!” Vikram shouted in anger, hearing the Plant Life System didn’t let go of any chance to mock him.

[Congratulations, Host, for defeating the Zombie Leader and eliminating a large number of zombies with the assistance of your Plant Sprout Team.]

[Rewards Obtained:]

[Plant Essence +1,000,000 → -1,000,000 = 0]

[Tch, the useless host lost all his essence points.]

[Demonvine Seeds ×50 → -45 = 5 (Purple)]

[From a useless host, what else could be expected?]

[Mage Sprout Seeds ×10 → -10 = 0]

[The user can’t even use these properly. He still has three unused seeds but keeps them in his pocket like an idiot instead of expanding his army.]

[High Growth Acceleration ×10 → -10 = 0]

[First learn to use what you already have.]

[Vine Sniper Tower ×10 → -8 = 2]

[A rare structure-type plant. When planted, it grows into a tree-based sentry tower with an internal control core. Archer Sprouts or other ranged units can use it to monitor territory and attack enemies from long distances.]

[Finally… something gained.]

Vikram stared at the rewards in silence, his expression twitching slightly.

“…You really hate me, don’t you?” After all, with each reward, there were mocking notes of the Plant Life System.

Whatever he also knows, that he should be satisfied that he gains something, from the next time he will go with more preparation.

After picking up the treasure box, and since he was mostly recovered, he decided to first go and see how his team were doing, and how much time had passed.

After he arrived at Alex’s shelter, he found out that only one hour had passed.

Hearing this, he also felt relieved that not much time had passed, and also felt amazed at how the Wasteland System makes this thing possible.

“Good, now since I have promised, let’s open the treasure chests.” Vikram said looking at the expecting eyes of others.

“Yes boss Vikram, open it,” Others nodded, with excitement.

Seeing this, he felt happy, now he also has a group to share his happiness (it was different, that they are just his slave group).

Looking towards the luxurious golden carvings on the golden box, Vikram placed his hand on the chest’s clasp.

“Click!”

As a golden light flashed from within, the materials from the Legendary-level treasure chest were revealed before their eyes.
