Immediately after, he took out pea seeds, cherry seeds, nut seeds, potato seeds, Rafflesia seeds (man-eating flower), mushroom seeds, chili seeds, and corn seeds.
These seeds could all grow into their corresponding original plants, and then Sophia could quickly create the special plants he needed.
"Are these all of them!?"
Sophia looked at the handful of different seeds in Sean's hand, surprised.
"Of course."
Sean nodded.
"That's great! Lord, with these seeds, I guarantee I can get all the plants you need by tomorrow at the latest!"
Sophia said excitedly.
"Then I'll trouble you, Sophia. If it's not enough, ask me for more; I still have plenty here." Sean nodded.
"Okay."
Sophia nodded in response.
After they chatted for a while, Sean left the room.
He also took the Sunflower with him.
After Sean left, Sophia immediately got busy.
First, she planted the seeds in a special room in her house.
In this room, by only spending some soul crystal to activate the Ripening Array (maturation array) inside, the planted seeds would grow very quickly.
In just an hour, the peas, cherries, and other plants that had just been planted blossomed and bore fruit.
She looked at the plants before her, each with a unique form and distinct characteristics.
There were eight types in total!
These eight types of plants were all completely new species!
"That Lord is too amazing! How did he invent so many strange plants?"
Sophia felt a deep admiration.
Creating ten completely new crops from scratch; among all the biological creators she had ever seen, this was an extremely talented existence.
But that young Lord was a Dungeon Lord, and while constructing a Dungeon, he also possessed such powerful plant creation ability—he was definitely a heaven-sent genius!
"I'm so much worse, sigh~"
Feeling the crushing pressure of a genius, Sophia couldn't help but feel depressed.
But soon, she cheered up again: "I must also work hard, and there are things I need to do! It is my responsibility to present these special plants to this world!"
Having found her goal, Sophia immediately felt full of motivation.
After harvesting the mature plants, she began to create according to Sean's requirements.
...
After leaving Sophia's cottage, Sean walked down the street of Lord Central City, holding the pot of strangely smiling plants.
Passersby invariably cast curious and surprised glances.
It was truly too bizarre!
Walking down the street holding a strange plant with a brilliant smile, Sean himself felt a hint of awkwardness.
Adhering to the principle that if he wasn't embarrassed, others would be, Sean ignored the surrounding gazes and continued forward.
As he walked, he pondered how to utilize this Sunflower.
Give it out as a reward?
Or have it planted as a rare plant in the Stardew Valley Dungeon?
But there was one problem: one plant was too few!
Whether as a reward or anything else, it was too little.
It couldn't cause a huge stir.
So, he had to think of other ways to make the Sunflower more abundant.
Although he had asked Sophia to create special plants, Sophia was, after all, only one person.
The number she could produce was limited.
And he couldn't use Sophia like a machine, making her produce plants without rest, could he?
That certainly wouldn't work; even if he offered more money, she wouldn't agree.
So, what method could mass-produce Sunflowers?
Troubled...
After circling Lord Central City, finding no useful clues, Sean decided to return to his territory.
"Let's go back first, and I'll think of a solution later."
He walked towards the palace where the teleportation array was located, carrying the Sunflower.
Just as he was about to arrive.
"Zzzzzzzzz~"
A continuous buzzing sound came from him.
It sounded like a monster baring its teeth.
"Communication!? It's her!"
Hearing this sound, Sean was startled.
He took out a black crystal from his embrace; it was constantly flashing, and the sound came from it.
Holding the flowerpot with one hand, he quickly connected the crystal communication.
"Are you alive?"
The moment it connected, a pleasant voice, cool yet caring, came from the crystal.
Sean was stunned, then said helplessly: "Of course I'm still alive; otherwise, it would be my ghost talking to you right now..."
"That's good. It seems the 100,000 soul crystal I lent you allowed you to barely survive."
"Uh..."
Sean was speechless.
This person was as sharp-tongued as ever.
The person he was talking to at this moment was named Melinoe, and from her name, he knew she was a female.
She was 3 years older than him, also a Lord, and even from the same world, and she was his senior.
He remembered that in that school, only he and this senior chose to become Lords; others who were qualified to become Lords all gave up and transferred to other professions.
So, when he needed to borrow money, she was the first person he thought of, after all, she also came from the same place.
Moreover, this senior's Dungeon specialized in scaring ghosts, and he had even given her a few pointers based on his past gaming memories; otherwise, it would have been impossible to borrow 100,000 soul crystal just because they came from the same place!
And there was no interest, with a repayment period of 3 months.
It was already a very favorable deal.
"Senior, how have you been lately?"
Sean asked politely.
"Not good, I lent all my money to you, I'm quite miserable now."
Although she said that, a hint of laughter could be heard in the words coming from the crystal.
She was clearly teasing him.
"Really? So, you're urging me to pay you back?"
"Mmm-hmm~"
"But I don't have any money, what should I do?"
"Well, no money... You can just subordinate your Dungeon to my territory; I'll support you, and you won't even have to pay back the money. How about it, junior~"
At this moment, Melin's voice carried a hint of charm, with a strong seductive implication.
As her only junior who also became a Lord, and a good-looking one at that, she naturally cared about him.
The most important thing was...
In a gloomy and terrifying ancient castle, surrounded by tens of thousands of white specters, Melinoe stood on a tall tower overlooking her entire territory.
Tens of thousands of Dungeons were neatly arranged.
Although there were many Dungeons, each one was very small.
They were merely laid out as a single building, a palace, or a room.
But there were hundreds of thousands of Adventurers exploring inside.
Clearly, Melinoe was not a small Lord, but a Great Lord.
Compared to before she met Sean, her Dungeon's scale had expanded a hundredfold.
