What shocked him most were the special seeds in the seed shop.
Lin Hu clicked on the description of a cherry tree with a level 3 crystal core priced at 999:
[Bomb Cherry: A one-way bomb that can damage any level 2 or lower creature; the damage radius depends on the attacker's accuracy.]
Lin Hu gasped, then clicked on the Orange Smoke app he had his eye on, priced at 1299 for a level 3 crystal core:
[Orange Smoke: Provides protection within a five-meter radius, absolutely concealing one's presence within the area, lasting one minute.]
Good stuff.
Lin Hu scrolled down a few more times. There were so many good things, but they were all expensive. Suddenly, he felt that the crystal cores he bought for the hot spring pool flower at the beginning were nothing.
He had previously earned over two thousand level-three crystal cores from the nightlight, and with the scattered level-one and level-two crystal cores he had recently acquired from the trading mall, he had barely managed to accumulate around three thousand level-three crystal cores.
As he swung his pen across the lake, he spotted an aggressive plant that he was currently very interested in and needed.
Bomb Pomegranate: An area-of-effect attack. After being thrown and exploding once, the pomegranate seeds inside will scatter and explode a second time, damaging surrounding objects. It can damage level 3 and below.
However, each level 3 crystal core costs 2999. After thinking about it, Lin Hu had no choice but to borrow it from Duan Linzhou.
Lin Hu was prepared to be questioned about the origin of the seeds, since his island had already been upgraded to level four and no one could enter without his permission.
Moreover, he had a gut feeling that Duan Linzhou wouldn't do anything to harm him.
"What is this noodle machine? Is it for making noodles?"
Lin Hu browsed through other pages in the mall and saw many modern smart machines, such as home robots, automatic cooking machines, and breakfast machines—all high-tech gadgets. Looking at a noodle machine, Lin Hu didn't understand what it was, so he asked 1097.
[1097: This is a noodle-cooking machine. You put in similar ingredients, and it can make the noodles you want. For example, if you put in beef and noodles, it's beef noodles; if you put in lamb, it's lamb noodles.]
"Then what's the difference between this and cooking it myself?" Lin Hu thought it was one of those modern machines that make noodles and was about to swipe it away, but then he thought that something that could appear in the mall couldn't be that simple, so he asked again.
[1097: This machine can continuously process noodles after you put in a large amount of ingredients and set the quantity. It can produce about one bowl per minute. Moreover, once you enter the information, the noodles produced by the machine will be exactly the same as those made by you.]
"Doesn't this free up my hands?!" Lin Hu immediately checked the price.
"299 level-three crystal cores, not bad, not expensive." Lin Hu didn't have any wheat seeds yet, so he turned to the seed shop to see if they had any.
After swiping around for a long time, I still couldn't find it, and I didn't even reach the bottom.
"1097, do you have wheat seeds in the seed shop?" Lin Hu didn't want to look anymore and asked 1097 directly.
[1097: The seed shop has everything, but there are too many to list. The host can search in the search bar.]
Only after being reminded by 1097 did Lin Hu notice a small magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner.
After Lin Hu clicked on the magnifying glass, a keyboard and a dialog box immediately popped up. Lin Hu searched for wheat seeds, and two seed options appeared.
These are ordinary wheat seeds and mutant wheat seeds, respectively.
Ordinary wheat seeds require 299 level-3 crystal nuclei, while mutant wheat seeds require 599 level-3 crystal nuclei.
Lin Hu wants a mutated one, but he's currently quite poor. He needs to see how much Duan Linzhou can lend him. If he lends a lot, he'll buy a mutated one; if he lends a little, he'll buy a regular one.
Lin Hu sent a message directly to Duan Linzhou.
[Lin Hu: Brother Duan! Brother Duan!]
[Lin Hu: Borrow some crystal nuclei.]
Duan Linzhou looked at Lin Hu's message, then turned to look in the direction of the wooden house. Thinking that Lin Hu might have sent him the message while he was in the bathroom, he didn't use his mental power to investigate.
[Duan Linzhou: How much do you want?]
[Lin Hu: How much do you have?]
This wasn't Lin Hu testing him; he genuinely wanted a lot and was afraid Duan Linzhou couldn't come up with that much all at once.
[Duan Linzhou: Do you need a lot? I can produce 5,000 level 3 crystal cores.]
Five thousand?! Holy crap, that's a lot of money!
Lin Hu exclaimed in surprise. The two of them are basically together now. Apart from the time they bought the night light, Lin Hu really didn't know where Duan Linzhou got so many crystal cores.
[Lin Hu: Holy crap, Brother Duan, where did you get so many crystal cores?]
[Duan Linzhou: My parents gave it to me; they've started a business now.]
"Damn, awesome! It's true what they say, business people can do business anywhere," Lin Hu exclaimed, replying to Duan Linzhou.
[Lin Hu: Just lend me four thousand, I'll pay you back later.]
While Lin Hu said this, he already had a plan in mind. Once his batch of attack seeds matured, he would sweep through the trading market and harvest the crystal cores of those people.
He hadn't forgotten that his marine locator needed crystal cores for upgrades and maintenance, and that many other things would definitely need crystal cores in the future.
