Zom stands on the right side of the image in a Minecraft-style scene, facing the viewer with a determined expression. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, large white eyes with black pupils, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, holding a pixelated light-green sword in his right hand. Zom is positioned on a dirt path beside a small farm garden with crops growing in rows, set in an outdoor suburban yard with a wooden house visible in the background under a partly cloudy daytime sky. Zom appears to be surveying the garden, standing upright as if planning a new venture.

Zom had a plan. Not a small plan. Not a mid-size plan. A big plan that would suit him just fine. 'I am going to be rich,' Zom said, swinging his sword at a weed in the garden. 'All I need is cows. Lots and lots of cows.' He grinned at his little garden and got right to work.

On the left side of the image, Zom stands proudly beside a freshly built wooden milk bar counter and a small fenced pen of cows, facing the viewer with an excited, entrepreneurial grin. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, holding a pixelated light-green sword in his right hand. A hand-painted wooden sign reading 'Milk Bar' is posted on the counter. The cows β€” some white and some red-brown β€” are gathered on the grass inside the pen. The scene is a pastoral outdoor setting with trees and greenery in the background under a soft, overcast sky. The right side of the image is open plain background.

And just like that, Zom went out and recruited his cows. Lots of cows. Brown ones. White ones. Even a shiny pink one. He built a wooden counter, put up a big sign, and stepped back to admire his work. The cows mooed softly from the pen. Zom puffed out his chest with pride. 'Welcome,' he said to nobody at all, 'welcome to Zom's Milk Bar.'

Zom stands on the right side of the image beside a wooden fence, actively milking a cow with a bucket beneath it, facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle with a calm, purposeful expression. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword tucked at his side. The scene is set outdoors in the early morning with soft, warm golden light and green trees in the background. Small birds perch on the fence and fly in the sky above. Several other cows β€” white with brown spots β€” graze in the fenced pasture behind him. The left ~40% of the image is plain green background.

Running a milk bar meant getting up early. Very early. The early hours did not suit Zom one bit, but up he got. The birds were singing. The sun was barely up. And Zom was already out there with his bucket, milking the cows one by one. 'This is the hard part,' Zom yawned as he worked. 'But the smart part is coming soon.'

On the left side of the image, Zom stands at a wooden table outdoors, facing the viewer with a cheerful smile, reaching toward small ingredient containers and a bucket of milk on the surface β€” appearing to add flavoring to the milk. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword in his right hand. A white blocky cow stands behind Zom on the left, reinforcing the fresh milk context. The scene is set in a grassy outdoor area with trees and a partly cloudy sky in the background, a bright daytime setting in a suburban yard.

See, Zom had figured out something big. Something nobody else had ever thought of. Brown cows. White cows. Pink cows. Each cow looked a bit different. So why should the milk all taste the same? 'It shouldn't,' said Zom, lining up his secret flavors and fruits on the table. 'And from this day on, it will not.' The cows blinked at him. Zom just winked right back.

On the right side of the image, Zom stands behind a wooden crafting table outdoors, facing the viewer with a focused expression and leaning in to sniff the mixture with a 'whew' reaction. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword resting on the table. On the table sits a large bucket of milk and a block of chocolate that he is adding to the mix. A brown cow stands behind Zom near the table. The scene is set in a bright, grassy outdoor area with trees in the background under a clear daytime sky. The left side of the image is plain green background.

First up, the brown cow. Zom crumbled a thick block of chocolate into the bucket of milk and gave it a good stir. The smell hit him like a warm hug. 'Ohhhh,' Zom whispered, leaning in close over the bucket. 'Brown cow, brown chocolate. It suits her just right.' He gave a proud little nod.

On the left side of the image, Zom stands behind a wooden table outdoors, facing the viewer with a focused, satisfied expression as he pours vanilla from a golden bottle into a bucket of milk. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword in his right hand. On the table are white blocks of milk ingredients and the vanilla bottle. A small wooden sign reading 'Milk Bar' is posted nearby. Behind Zom, several white blocky cows stand on a grassy area near a building, set against a bright daytime sky. The air around the milk bar has visible aromatic swirls to suggest the grand smell. The scene has a Minecraft-style blocky aesthetic.

Next up, the white cows. Zom poured a golden, fluid stream of vanilla into the bucket and gave it a slow, careful stir. The whole milk bar filled with a smell so sweet that even the cows turned their heads to sniff. 'Vanilla milk,' Zom said with a big grin. 'White cow, white vanilla. I really am a genius.' He gave the bucket one more stir for good measure.

On the right side of the image, Zom stands beside a pink-dyed cow, facing the viewer with a playful, excited expression as he holds up a bucket of pink strawberry milk. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword tucked at his side. The cow beside him is white with bright pink dye splotches across its body. On a wooden table nearby, a container of pink strawberry milk is being prepared. The scene is set outdoors with green grass and trees in the background under a bright daytime sky. The left ~40% is plain green background.

Then Zom spotted her. The pink cow. Someone had splashed pink dye all over her, and Zom's eyes went wide. 'Pink cow means strawberry milk!' he yelled, jumping up and down. He grabbed his bucket and got straight to work. He mashed up the juicy pink fruit and stirred it right in. The milk turned the most perfect shade of pink. Zom held the bucket up high like a trophy and grinned.

On the left side of the image, a small group of three Villagers stand together outdoors in a Minecraft-style scene, facing the viewer with curious, excited expressions as they look toward the milk bar. Each Villager is stocky and chibi-style with a large rounded-square bald head, light peach skin, large dark brown eyes with white highlights, a small pink dot nose, wearing a dark brown long-sleeved shirt with a cream off-white apron tied at the front, dark brown-maroon pants, and dark brown boots. They are gathered on a grassy area with blocky hills and trees in the background under a bright daytime sky. The right ~40% of the image is plain mint-green background.

Word got out fast. Three villagers came running up in pursuit of the smell, sniffing the air and nudging each other forward in a line. 'Is that chocolate?' said the first villager. 'I smell vanilla!' said the second. 'Is that strawberry I smell?' said the third, with wide eyes. Zom rubbed his hands together and smiled a sneaky little smile. 'Step right up, folks,' he said. 'But wait till you see what else I have.'

On the right side of the image, Zom stands behind the milk bar counter holding out a bucket of murky brown-green mushroom milk, facing the viewer with an oblivious grin. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword in his right hand. In front of the counter, a Villager recoils with a disgusted, whining expression β€” bald head, light peach skin, large dark brown eyes scrunched up, wearing a dark brown shirt with a cream off-white apron, dark brown-maroon pants, and dark brown boots β€” holding their nose and leaning away from the foul-smelling mushroom milk. Visible stink lines waft from the bucket. The scene is set outdoors with green foliage and trees in the background. The left side is plain mint-green background.

'Presenting,' Zom said with pride, 'my newest creation.' He slid a bucket of lumpy, green-brown fluid across the wooden counter. 'Mushroom milk,' he said. 'From the mushroom cow.' The first villager leaned in close. He sniffed once. And then his whole face crumpled up like a paper bag. 'Blaaaaargh!' he howled, stumbling back from the bucket.

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Zom stands near his milk bar in a suburban neighborhood among wooden houses, facing the viewer with a sheepish, embarrassed expression, still holding the bucket of mushroom milk. He has light green skin, darker green messy hair, and wears an orange-and-red horizontally striped t-shirt with dark green pants and bright green shoes, his pixelated light-green sword in his right hand. A Villager is seen running away from Zom in a panicked whirl β€” bald head, light peach skin, wearing a dark brown shirt with a cream off-white apron, dark brown-maroon pants, and dark brown boots β€” arms flailing as they flee past wooden houses on a grassy path in bright daylight. The scene has a Minecraft-style blocky aesthetic with wooden structures and green grass. The right ~40% is plain mint-green background.

The villagers were gone. All of them ran down the path, arms flapping and noses pinched shut. Zom stood alone on the grass with his bucket of mushroom milk, which was not a suitable drink for guests. He looked down at it, then at the empty path, then back at the bucket in his hand. 'More for me,' said Zom, and took a sip. His face went green, well, greener than before.
