Hearing this, Black Wolf looked at Lu Xuan in astonishment, not expecting that this Lord had actually planted crops in the Dungeon, and even cultivated crops with special effects.
How did he do it?
Although Black Wolf was very curious, he did not ask further. This might be a secret belonging to this Lord, and he was not qualified to know it.
Iron Fist, who was standing by, froze after trying the two types of crop fruits, but quickly became excited.
The effects of these crop fruits were so strong, especially that carrot; consuming it could actually increase attack power by 10 points!
Moreover, there were two large bags of such precious buff items!
Iron Fist's eyes lit up, and he tremblingly picked up a carrot: "Lord, so many buff items? Are they all free for us to use?"
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded: "That's right, it should be enough for your activities in the Dark Tide this time."
Immediately, Iron Fist loudly thanked him: "Lord, you are truly too generous!"
Lu Xuan gently patted Iron Fist's shoulder: "I hope you can survive in the Dark Tide and go further. If these things can help you, I will be very happy."
He spoke very sincerely.
It was also what he hoped for.
It would be great if these three mercenaries could bring back many territories with the power of these two crops.
Iron Fist carefully closed the bag and nodded seriously: "Lord, we will definitely make good use of these items and will not let you down."
Although this Lord was a new Lord, he was worthy of his respect.
Meanwhile, Withering Shadow took out a carrot and bit into it, saying nothing.
The hood covered her face, so her expression was unclear, but judging from how she kept biting the carrot, she must have liked it very much.
Soon, a carrot was eaten.
And she wanted to take a second one to eat.
But her outstretched hand was stopped by Iron Fist, who said solemnly: "Miss Withering Shadow, these are precious supplies given to us by the Lord; they are not snacks."
Hearing this, Withering Shadow withdrew her small hand, then clearly turned her face away, saying nothing.
Although her expression couldn't be seen, she must have been very displeased.
Lu Xuan saw her actions and smiled.
Then he took out another cloth bag filled with carrots.
"I have plenty here, eat as much as you want."
He directly handed this bag to Withering Shadow.
Immediately, Withering Shadow looked up at Lu Xuan.
With this lift of her head, Lu Xuan finally saw her appearance from beneath the hood.
Long gray hair, an unhealthy complexion, and a sharp, thin jaw. Her emaciated state made her appearance not so good-looking, even somewhat frightening.
But her eyes were extremely beautiful, clear and bright, and at this moment, they contained a look of surprise.
Seemingly sensing Lu Xuan's gaze, Withering Shadow lowered her head and pulled down her hood, completely hiding her face in the shadows.
"Lord, without further ado, let's depart now."
Black Wolf and Iron Fist also suggested at this time.
'Okay, I'll activate the teleportation array.'
Subsequently, Lu Xuan activated the teleportation array to the Dark Tide, then watched the three transform into illusory figures within the array.
This was also a special power possessed by Lord Central City, similar to Adventurers entering the Dungeon, leaving their souls behind and their bodies entering.
It could protect them from fatal injuries.
Even if they died in the Dark Tide, they could still live.
It would just involve a period of mental suffering, but it was better than dying directly.
This was also why mercenaries had to rely on Lords to go to the Dark Tide.
Lords could save their lives!
"Come back safely!"
Lu Xuan whispered a blessing.
Casualties in the Dark Tide were still very high, and currently, he was only Black Iron, so the help he could provide them was limited.
They could only rely on their own strength.
Next, he should go about his own business.
Continue building the Dungeon!
Before that, he had one more thing to deal with.
That was—too many crop fruits had been recovered!!
More and more Adventurers were active in his Dungeon, and the storage room connected to the shipping box in Stardew Valley Dungeon was about to burst with crops!
And some Adventurers even put stones and weeds into the shipping box, as well as all sorts of trash!
Even leftover vegetable leaves were stuffed in there?
Did they think it was a trash can?
"No, I need to restrict this behavior of throwing trash into the collection box; I need to deduct their money!"
Lu Xuan looked speechlessly at the storage room whose door was bursting.
The few clumps of trash squeezed out made him unable to bear to look.
"If it doesn't work, then sell them."
Originally, he had planned to wait a while longer before developing the Dungeon's selling function.
Now it seemed he had underestimated the quantity of output and the enthusiasm of the Adventurers.
He needed to open the Dungeon's specialty shops in advance!
With this idea, he immediately went to Lord Central City.
He bought a construction blueprint, a blueprint for a Dungeon Trade House.
With this item, he could sell crops as goods to Adventurers, which was also a way for Lords to earn soul crystals, self-produced and self-sold.
It could also attract foot traffic and transaction volume, accelerating the Dungeon's development.
The construction and design of the Dungeon were limited; Lords needed to purchase blueprints before they could build new structures.
The prices of blueprints varied; some were worth hundreds of soul crystals, while others cost thousands.
And Lu Xuan's Dungeon Trade House was a one-time blueprint worth 230 soul crystals, usable for only one month, after which it would automatically disappear. The permanent version cost tens of thousands of soul crystals, which he couldn't afford yet.
He would make do with this for now.
"Activate Stardew Valley Trade House expansion!"
Immediately, he entered the territory's overhead view and could select the construction location.
He chose to build it in the middle of the two Stardew Valley Dungeons.
Suddenly, a huge pillar of light enveloped the area!
A building suddenly appeared in the territory, only one story high, covering an area of 100 square meters.
[Open / Do not open to Adventurers]
After construction was complete, a prompt appeared before him.
After he added the goods, set their prices, and chose to open it.
Goods:
[parsnip]
[Grade: Bronze Lower]
[Price: 5 soul crystals / piece]
[Quantity: 39]
...
[carrot... Black Iron Middle... Price: 2 soul crystals / piece, Quantity: 54]
[green bean... Black Iron Lower... Price: 1 soul crystal / piece, Quantity: 59]
[Cauliflower... Black Iron Upper... Price: 3 soul crystals / piece, Quantity: 32]
...
He had put a total of 9 types of goods on sale: parsnip, carrot, green bean, cauliflower, coffee bean, potato, green bean, kale, and leek, all crops produced in the spring.
Their varying grades corresponded well to the quality of crops harvested in the game; different crop qualities would result in different grades, and their effects would also vary slightly.
Currently, Adventurers were still in the spring season, so he only harvested spring crops.
Among them, he had also hidden one type of crop, which was strawberry.
