As Ling Hui's shocked expression settled, she frantically flipped through the stack of papers in her hand.
Each sheet depicted a strange plant.
There was a plant with a cylindrical barrel called a Pea Shooter, a huge yellowish-brown plant called a Wall-nut, and a plant called an Exploding Cherry, which was fiery red all over, a cluster of connected fruits, and had an angry expression...
There were at least ten peculiar yet highly distinctive plants.
"Are these all plants that you, Lord, came up with?"
Ling Hui asked with a small, astonished mouth, her voice filled with disbelief.
These peculiar plants completely overturned her understanding. Could plant-type beings really be created like this?
She had thought the Sunshine Sunflower earlier was unique enough, but she didn't expect there to be an even greater master!
"That's right, these plants are all my original creations. How about it? Can you make them?"
Lü Xuan smiled slightly.
These plants, from the classic game Plants vs. Zombies in his previous life, were completely unique in this world.
He believed that as long as Ling Hui, the Biocreationist in front of him, could create them and then place them in the Stardew Valley Dungeon, they would surely astonish the Adventurers and cause a huge sensation!
"Don't worry, I will do my best to create them."
Ling Hui nodded, her eyes revealing a mix of excitement and determination!
It was her first time encountering so many novel plants, and she believed she could achieve astonishing results!
Looking at Lü Xuan, she felt a little curious.
Could a mere novice Lord create so many novel and peculiar plant-type life forms?
This was simply beyond imagination!
However, Lü Xuan didn't think too much about it.
He just wanted to transplant the plants from Plants vs. Zombies into Stardew Valley to enrich the content of his Dungeon.
As for why he didn't just replicate Plants vs. Zombies as a Dungeon?
Mainly, he felt that if Plants vs. Zombies were made into a Dungeon, Adventurer participation would be too low, and fewer soul crystals would be generated.
It would be better to integrate it with Stardew Valley, allowing these plants with unique abilities to be grown in the soil. For example, Sunshine Sunflower could provide light for plants at night, promoting their growth.
It would definitely be very interesting!
Moreover, these special plants could later be used as rewards for Adventurers, allowing them to take them out of the Dungeon to assist in combat.
Wall-nut is an excellent defensive plant, Pea Shooter can be used for long-range assistance, and Sunshine Sunflower is a healing helper...
He had planned all of this; whether it could be realized depended on Miss Ling Hui in front of him.
As Lü Xuan was contemplating, Ling Hui cautiously approached him, looking a bit hesitant, and whispered, "Um... Lord, could you..."
At this point, her voice trailed off.
She seemed a bit ashamed and found it hard to speak.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Lü Xuan frowned, looking at her expression.
Ling Hui bit her lip, and finally said, "Lord, could you... pay in advance...?"
By the end of her sentence, her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, almost inaudible.
But Lü Xuan still heard it clearly.
So that's what it was about!
"Yes." Lü Xuan readily agreed, "What is your price here? I can pay you directly."
"Ah?" Ling Hui was startled. She looked up, a bit surprised, "Lord... you're willing to pay in advance?"
Lü Xuan smiled, "Of course. I'm not in a hurry right now, you can take your time to create them. Just give me the finished products when they're ready."
"..." Ling Hui opened her mouth, but in the end, just nodded gently.
She was a bit surprised by Lü Xuan's generosity, but he was a Lord, so it was reasonable for him to do so.
However, she didn't expect Lü Xuan to agree so readily.
She had originally thought she would at least have to haggle a bit, as it wasn't a simple matter for Biocreationists like them to create a creature, and it would take some time, which might make some Lords impatient.
Therefore, transactions were usually conducted via cash on delivery.
Her request just now was actually quite excessive, but she couldn't help it; she no longer had any soul crystals to purchase the materials needed to create the plants, so she could only make such a request.
But what she didn't expect was that the request was directly approved. This Lord didn't hesitate at all, and she could receive the payment immediately!
"Lord, you really are a good person!"
Ling Hui couldn't help but exclaim, a hint of genuine gratitude in her tone.
"It's just a small matter," Lü Xuan said indifferently.
"Lord, the price for creating bronze-tier lower creatures... plants here is 50 soul crystals. What do you think?"
Ling Hui asked cautiously.
She was afraid that such a price would be rejected.
"Hmm..."
Lü Xuan fell silent for a moment.
Ling Hui's heart was already pounding in her throat.
"Alright, if that's the price, I need you to create 20 of each of these plants I gave you, a total of ten special crops. That would be ten thousand soul crystals, which I can give you now."
Finally, Lü Xuan spoke, and Ling Hui's expression instantly lit up with joy.
"Okay, Lord, the transaction is complete!"
Ling Hui eagerly took out a contract from a nearby table, ready to sign the transaction agreement.
A total of ten thousand soul crystals.
This was a large order!
Ling Hui was very satisfied.
Soon, the two signed the contract. With the recognition of the Lord Central City's contract law, the contract was unbreakable.
"Alright, here you go, ten thousand soul crystals."
Lü Xuan paid the money without hesitation.
He was just that generous.
This was the confidence Stardew Valley had given him.
soul crystals were flowing in every moment. Although ten thousand soul crystals were most of his current assets, for future development, this amount of money was a minor matter.
Lü Xuan handed the soul crystals to Ling Hui, then left a communication crystal, and departed.
Ling Hui told him it would take about a week to complete the creation, and he could pick them up after a week.
-----------------
Afterward, Lü Xuan purchased some necessary Dungeon materials in Lord Central City and then returned to his territory.
Currently, the Stardew Valley Dungeon attracts at least a thousand Adventurers daily, with extremely high popularity and stickiness, making it very stable—a sight rarely seen in other Dungeons.
But Stardew Valley achieved this.
The updated content of Stardew Valley was so rich that it astonished Adventurers.
Only two days had passed, and Adventurers hadn't even explored one-tenth of the content.
This further fueled the Adventurers' curiosity and desire for exploration.
However, the one-hour daily limit was too tormenting, and Adventurers were full of complaints about it.
A large number of complaining messages filled Lü Xuan's view.
[Adventurer A: Ahhh... Lord, one hour is too short! It's not enough to play!]
[Adventurer B: Lord, can you raise the entry price? I just can't get a spot to go in!]
[Adventurer C: Please add more to the Stardew Valley Dungeon! I feel like ants are crawling on me if I can't play Stardew Valley!]
...
Well, as a kind and responsive Lord who met Adventurers' expectations, Lü Xuan naturally had to satisfy them.
"Then increase it!"
