Amidst the envious, jealous, disappointed, and sad gazes of the surrounding Adventurers, Eira excitedly led Nisha and her mother into the portal.
A flash of light later, the four disappeared, having been teleported into the Dungeon.
But at this moment, the portal sensed the Golden Tier power emanating from Gavin and the woman, and it trembled.
There were faint signs of cracking.
Seeing this, Gavin and the woman reacted quickly, suppressing their power and lowering it to Bronze Tier before the portal's light stabilized.
"Thank goodness!"
Gavin and the woman beside him exchanged glances, both secretly sighing in relief.
If they had burst the portal, they would have been in big trouble!
Being surrounded and attacked by the surrounding Adventurers would be a minor issue; the most terrifying thing would be to be accused of destroying the Dungeon—that would be truly finished.
Eira and Nisha, who were beside them, had no feeling of these changes, nor did the surrounding Adventurers perceive them.
Besides these people, one person did perceive it.
That was the owner of this Dungeon—Sean.
The slight change in the portal was clearly perceived by him; in an instant, he awoke from his state of absorbing emotional crystals and cast his gaze over.
Subsequently, information on two rather special Adventurers appeared before his eyes.
[Gavin]
[Tier: Golden Tier??]
[????]
[Clara]
[Tier: Golden Tier??]
[????]
"What the hell???"
Sean was a bit dumbfounded.
He actually attracted Golden Tier Adventurers?
His Dungeon was only Black Iron; wasn't that a bit out of his league!?
With a curious thought to investigate, he looked towards the Dungeon they had entered.
...
Summer, Day 9.
In the Stardew Valley (Initial Version) Dungeon, it once again welcomed its first customer—Nisha, along with her friend and their parents.
"Mom and Dad, this is Nisha's Stardew Valley Dungeon, so you have to listen to Nisha and act accordingly!"
As soon as the four appeared in the small wooden house, Eira sternly advised her parents.
"Alright, Nisha, what should we do now?"
Clara, as the mother, smiled and nodded, without putting on airs, and cooperatively looked at Nisha, asking her what to do next.
"Ah... that... we... um..."
Stared at by Clara's charming eyes, especially by a broad-minded and very maternal middle-aged beauty, Nisha's small face instantly turned red.
As a girl who was only eighteen and had come here alone, she still felt a lot of nervousness and timidity facing the imposing elder before her.
"Nisha?"
Clara saw that Nisha hadn't spoken for a while and was a bit puzzled.
"Ah... this..."
"That... first, we need to reclaim the farmland! Then sow seeds and water them."
Finally, she said somewhat flustered.
"Reclaim farmland? Interesting, is this the mode of this Dungeon?"
Clara smiled, walked out of the small house first, and stepped outside.
The scenery outside entered her view: a vast farm where the surrounding trees and weeds had been cleared by Nisha and Eira, leaving only a large area of cultivated fields with tender green seedlings already planted.
The sight of the neatly arranged farm made Clara's eyes widen a bit.
"Oh, the air here is so fresh!"
After taking a breath of air and feeling its freshness, a hint of surprise flashed in Clara's eyes.
The environment here was surprisingly beautiful!
Having visited thousands of Dungeons, this was her first time seeing such a layout in a Dungeon.
Clara was secretly astonished.
At this moment, Gavin, who had also walked out of the wooden house, looked at the scene before him with surprise.
He couldn't sense any monster presences around, nor were there any traps; only faint traces of small animals moving about, and the abundant natural energy emanating from the dense surrounding plants.
"Hmph hmph, how about that? This is all thanks to me and Nisha, isn't it amazing! Of course, Nisha deserves the most credit!"
Eira said proudly.
Displaying her achievements in front of her parents was a very satisfying thing.
Not to mention that everything before her was something she, as a Golden Tier Adventurer, had never seen before; that feeling made Eira even more satisfied!
"It's all... very simple things..."
Meanwhile, Nisha, standing by, had a flushed face and mumbled softly.
"Haha, Nisha is so cute~!"
Clara couldn't help but laugh, looking at her adorable appearance.
"So you've been doing these kinds of things in this Dungeon?"
At this moment, Gavin asked curiously.
"Of course! We reclaim land, farm, then plant crops. After the crops mature, we can harvest them and sell them for money. We can also go to nearby villages and forests to see the scenery, and even fish...
In short, there's a lot to do here, it's very free, and I really, really like it! That's why I had the idea of forming a contract with this Dungeon."
Eira replied without hesitation.
For her, this Dungeon was her paradise.
It was also a paradise for Adventurers like her who weren't strong in combat and had suffered greatly.
"I see..."
Gavin walked towards the large field of hops that had already climbed onto trellises before him. He looked at the peculiar plants in front of him; he didn't sense anything unusual about them, but there seemed to be a faint, peculiar energy gathering on them.
"Is this still growing?"
He guessed.
Moreover, this plant emitted a peculiar aroma, a somewhat intoxicating scent.
Like... alcohol!
He recalled the scent on Kali yesterday; it was extremely similar to the scent of this plant!
"These are hops; they can be used to brew alcohol and will be ready in 5 more days. Oh, by the way, maybe we can brew together!"
Eira also came to the hops field, looking at the vigorously growing hops on the trellises, and said excitedly.
"Brewing?"
Gavin was stunned for a moment.
He had never brewed alcohol before.
However... there was one thing he cared about.
"These hops can be directly used for brewing!?"
He asked again.
Eira replied, "Of course. After these hops mature, you just pick them, put them into a small keg, wait for a while, and naturally, alcohol will be brewed. It's very simple, right!"
Gavin nodded calmly; it was indeed very simple.
Just putting this plant into a small keg could brew alcohol.
But!
This was a bit too simple!
Although he drank rarely, he knew that brewing technology was very complex and a very slow process.
But here, through this plant in front of him, alcohol could be brewed very conveniently and quickly!
What did this mean?
It meant efficiency and quantity!
Moreover, he also learned that Adventurers could receive rewards produced by this Dungeon, and even buy its products!
This was too exaggerated.
Considering this large field of hops before him, which was just one Adventurer's crop, if it were expanded, how many hops would be produced!
Alcohol was a very popular commodity in the outside world, and could even be said to be a necessity for Adventurers.
Everyone entering and exiting Dungeons daily, going to the Dark Tide to fight and kill, experienced immense pressure, so alcohol was indispensable.
If this Dungeon used hops to produce beer in large quantities, it could completely dominate a large market!
It could even be said that no organization producing beer could contend with it!
Because this Dungeon produced beer too quickly and too conveniently!
The reason, ultimately, was that this plant called hops before him was too heaven-defying!
How did the Lord here even come up with such a heaven-defying plant!?
Gavin secretly swallowed, hiding the thoughts that had just arisen in his mind.
Just by seeing this plant before him, he could no longer underestimate the Dungeon in front of him; this place would probably far exceed his imagination.
He had to explore it thoroughly!
"Mhm, we'll follow your arrangements."
Gavin replied with a smile.
"Then we need to prepare. Nisha and I will go upgrade the house first, then there will be two beds! You can wander around here freely, but don't get lost, okay?"
Afterwards, Eira pulled Nisha along to find Robin.
