Joanna had already read the guide. She moved the three flowerpots to a spot about 10 feet in front of the wooden cabin. She lined them up side by side.
A system message popped up.
“Zombies are approaching…
“Zombie movement speed is slow. Would you like to speed things up? After speeding up, monster spawn rate and plant growth speed will both increase p>
Joanna chose “Yes” right away.
She pushed the speed setting to the max.
10× speed.
At normal speed, one wave would take at least an hour.
At 10x speed, it would only take six minutes.
Much better.
As soon as she confirmed the settings, the zombies spawned.
Nighthowl acted at once. He activated Celestial Gaze. A pale moon appeared in the sky, watching over the land below.
From above, he quickly took in the scene. The area outside the cabin was ruined and broken, but it was wide. It was larger than the Fang Imp village. Far away, he could see a dark, gray city covered in heavy storm clouds.
The zombies were wandering in from that city.
Nighthowl attacked.
In an instant, a large group of zombies fell.
Joanna received notifications.
“You have killed Zombies 200.
“You obtained Rotten Fertilizer x1000 (this dungeon only p>

The first wave was only Level 1. With Nighthowl there, it was an easy win. The high rating also helped. That was why she got such an important plant right away.
The Banana Archer could bend its body into the shape of a bow. It attacked zombies from a distance.
Joanna planted the bananas behind the apples. Honestly, it didn’t really matter where she placed them. Nighthowl would handle most of the fighting anyway.
After planting the seeds, she used the rotten fertilizer. The seeds changed instantly. They grew at an incredible speed.
Soon, tall banana plants stood there, each about five feet high.
They formed bowstrings and arrows out of soil on their own and fired at the zombies far away.
A new message appeared. “Do you want to start Stage 2 now? Rest time after stage 1 is 5
minutes p>
Joanna skipped the rest and went straight into battle.
Those five minutes were more than enough. During that time, the apples on the ground had already grown larger.
As time passed, the fruits kept getting bigger.
Nighthowl continued attacking. More and more monsters appeared. By Stage 10, the number of enemies had jumped to 10,000.
Joanna’s fruit army also kept growing. In the end, they barely had a chance to fight. Nighthowl stopped every single zombie outside the cabin.
All 50 stages cleared. All levels cleared.
“You have cleared Fruit vs. Zombies (50 Stages: difficulties 1-10 p>
“Clear Time: 2 hours, 47 minutes, 21 seconds.

“Save this record? Clearing Team: Shattered Dawn p>
“Save it,” Joanna said.
“All content cleared in this version. Final Rating: Level SSS.

“Reward Obtained: Apple Tree (Common-tier) x1, Banana Tree (Iron-tier) x1, Mango Tree (Bronze-tier) x1, Lychee Tree (Bronze-tier) x1, Durian Tree (Silver-tier) x1.
“Note: Thank you for your great contribution to fruit cultivation p>
“Huh p>
Joanna froze.
She quickly opened the system reward space.
Besides her small spatial backpack, a new area appeared. Orchard Space.
It looked like a small, independent farm.
Finished
There was one wooden cabin and five plots of land, each large enough for a full-sized tree.
“Orchard Space (Portable Dungeon): Once fruit trees mature, tap “Collect All” to harvest. Harvested fruit will be stored in the cabin and can be taken out at any time. Players may enter the cabin freely.
“Note: If you store items on the land, beware of pests and plant diseases p>
Joanna stared at it. What was this? She had never heard of it before.
More importantly, she had never seen it mentioned in any strategy group.
The space could only hold five trees, but the reward trees were not small at all. Each one took up about 40 square feet. The height was unclear because real sunlight shone down from above. Including the cabin, the whole area covered about 260 square feet, shaped like a 20-by-13-foot rectangle.
The reward trees were already full of fruit.
Joanna tapped “Collect p>
“You obtained: Apples (Common-tier) ×10, Bananas (Iron-tier) 15, Mangoes (Bronze-tier) ×10, Apples (Bronze-tier) ×10, and Durians (Silver-tier) ×3.

These were system-certified mutant plants. They were not high-yield, but according to the description, they matured very quickly.
