Sean looked at the Fourth Master, who spoke with a sincere attitude, and then at the disheveled and dejected man, and he nodded.
"Then let's do that."
"Let's go."
With that, ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, Sean pulled the Little Girl and left that troublesome place.
Soon, he led the Little Girl away from 104th Street.
They returned to 103rd Street.
Back on 103rd Street, Sean felt a bit more relaxed.
The atmosphere on 104th Street was still a bit oppressive, perhaps due to the frequent creature battles there, which created such a heavy mood.
But no matter what, Little Jin was found.
"Um..."
At this moment, the Little Girl tugged at Sean's sleeve and called out softly.
"Hmm?"
Sean bent down slightly, looking at the Little Girl face-to-face.
"Then... Big... Brother... My name is Maya... Thank you."
The Little Girl looked into Sean's eyes and told him her name.
"Maya?"
Hearing the Little Girl introduce herself, Sean was slightly startled.
"Maya? It's a bit similar to Master Mabuz's name..." (T/N: the original name have similar meaning)
Listening to the name, Sean glanced at the Little Girl again and said with a smile.
"Then Little May, hurry back. Your teacher is probably going crazy looking for you by now."
No sooner had he spoken than a thick, ghostly mist suddenly rolled in from the originally clear sky, and the entire sky changed color.
This dense fog rapidly approached Sean and Maya, then stopped and slowly condensed into a strange entity.
Sean curiously looked at the huge misty creature in front of him; it was a massive, spherical being.
Soon, the spherical creature spoke, and a large mouth and face appeared on its surface.
Watching the changes in the large sphere before him, Sean couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Isn't this Gengar?
It was just rounder and larger than the Gengar he remembered, and it had no hands or feet.
More importantly, the creature in front of him was also deep purple.
"I finally found you! Little May! Master is going crazy, I've searched all of 103rd Street, how are you here?"
The Gengar-like creature spoke in a rough, uncle-like voice.
Seeing the giant creature in front of her, Maya immediately shouted happily, "It's Uncle Zi!"
Uncle Zi, seeing the Little Girl, quickly said, "Maya, come up quickly. Master wants to see you."
With that, he opened a large door in the middle of his body.
After hearing Uncle Zi's words, Maya quickly entered Uncle Zi's body.
After Maya went in, she waved at Sean and then said, "Goodbye, Big Brother~"
Then, Uncle Zi was seen carrying Maya flying into the distance.
"Next time we meet, I'll show Maya the Pokemon pictures. Maybe..."
Sean stroked his chin, pondering.
Afterward, he also returned to his territory... Back in the territory, everything was still proceeding in an orderly fashion; the Stardew Valley Dungeon was never idle for a moment.
Only his Dungeon's guide work was simple, allowing him to move freely, otherwise, the group of Wanderers serving inside might not be able to endure.
Currently, the Dungeon managed by the Wanderers was only the first Dungeon he established; all other Dungeons had been replaced by puppets.
This was because he used the initial Dungeon as an experimental subject, so it required real living people to test the situation and reduce vulnerabilities.
Now, 4000 Bronze Sunflowers were in hand.
It was time to upgrade the Dungeon!
[Lord Card] (An item displaying the Lord's power, obtained after becoming a Lord).
[Holder: Sean]
[Race: human-kin]
[Lord Level: Black Iron Upper (Upper, Middle, Lower)]
[Title: Novice Lord]
[Spirit Power: 800 / 880]
[soul crystal: 26076]
[Emotion Crystal: 20418]
[Current Dungeons: 10 (Stardew Valley · Initial Version, Stardew Valley No. 02... No. 10)]
[Usable Territory Area: 3 km / 20 km]
But before upgrading, he had to raise his Lord Level to Bronze, so he could control the Bronze-Level Dungeon.
As long as the number of Bronze items in the Dungeon reached a certain amount, the Dungeon would advance.
He had just sensed that to advance a Stardew Valley Dungeon, at least one hundred Bronze items needed to be placed.
Therefore, placing one hundred Sunflowers in a Dungeon would suffice.
Before placing one hundred items, the Dungeon's level would not change.
Increasing power would take some time, but the Sunflowers in hand couldn't just sit there.
"Put some in as mysterious rewards!"
Before going into a slumber to improve his strength, Sean made this decision, placing some Sunflowers into the Dungeon, with the number not exceeding 100 plants.
After placing some in all 10 Dungeons.
"Okay, done. Time to sleep immediately, ugh~"
Stretching, Sean directly fell asleep in his room in the Lord's Castle.
When he woke up next time, his spirit power would break through 1000 points, marking his official entry into the Bronze rank...
At this moment, in one of the Stardew Valley Dungeons (Initial Version).
Summer Day 11.
Time: 13:15, in the Night Farm.
Rows of small barrels were neatly arranged, only a dozen or so.
Nisha, Eira, Gavin, and Clara were placing the small barrels one by one.
"Just put the hops in and it's done?"
Nisha looked curiously at the hops in her hand and the barrels in front of her.
Could it really be that simple to brew wine?
"Mhm, that's how it works. The letter introducing hops said so."
Eira carefully placed a piece of hops into a barrel, then replied.
"Wow, a reaction appeared!"
Immediately after she put it in, the barrel changed, becoming sealed, and a countdown appeared.
[8 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
[... 50 seconds]
[... 49 seconds]
[...]
Time was slowly ticking away.
"Hmm, then that should be the mechanism."
Gavin, who was nearby, also imitated and placed some into the barrels.
"Oh, it's a pity, there are so few brewing tools."
Clara said with some regret.
"There's nothing we can do. My daughter and I mined for several days, and the iron ore we dug out was only enough to make this much."
Gavin shook his head with a bitter smile.
He said that he and his daughter had put in a lot of effort.
They went very deep, more than 40 levels, but the amount of iron ore produced was only this much.
It could only be said that the time was short, and the amount of iron ore dug out was a bit small.
"Hmph, and you're even Gold, you're useless."
Facing Gavin's explanation, Clara disdained him unceremoniously.
"..."
Gavin's mouth twitched.
He could only endure his wife's mockery.
"Neira, it seems we'll only be able to taste the wine brewed here next time we come in."
Clara looked at the still long countdown and said helplessly.
"Mhm."
Eira nodded.
