Upon hearing this, Lin Zheping immediately rushed towards Cheryl.
"Girl! Agree! Agree now! Do you know who he is? The big boss of Duobao Group! The idol of new lords! Lord Ye Chen! My life's dream depends on you!" Lin Zheping frantically promoted him. Only then did Cheryl finally come to her senses, looking at the name on the business card and the person in front of her in disbelief.
"Um, I! I! Can I?" Cheryl stammered "I" for a long time, and Lin Zheping thought she was going to say "I do!", but she finally blurted out "Can I?"
Hearing this, not only was Lin Zheping about to go crazy, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hey, hey, hey! I've already invited you, so please drop the 'ma' sound, okay?"
"Exactly! The big boss personally invited you, what are you still hesitating for? Be more confident!" Lin Zheping said with exasperation, wishing he were the one asking Ye Chen the question.
"Me! Me! Me!" The little girl kept asking, but couldn't get an answer.
"Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, you should be quite good at support-type lord talents, right? And you're also quite talented in planting?" Seeing the other party's nervous look, Ye Chen smiled and asked gently.
Although the rewards for clearing the Trial Grounds are randomly distributed, there are still some patterns. Rare items like the Seed of All Things are generally not given to combat lords. Only support lords with exceptional talent, or even planting lords, have a chance to obtain them.
Therefore, relatively speaking, although the little girl is only at the level of a low-level lord, her performance in the Trial Grounds must be quite good. The level of passing the trial represents the potential of the territory, and support-type lords have plenty of time to expand the territory area and strengthen the territory level.
"Yes! Yes! My lord talent is in planting, and I grow crops better than others, a little better!" Cheryl answered timidly, a hint of confidence flashing in her voice when she mentioned planting, but unfortunately her voice quickly faded.
"That's fine then. For support-type lords, talent is more important than level. After all, being able to cultivate a high-level medicinal herb is enough to make it as effective as thousands of low-level herbs!" Ye Chen explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Cheryl finally felt relieved, looked at Ye Chen, and nodded.
"Yay!" Lin Zheping exclaimed excitedly when he saw that the other party had finally agreed. Since Cheryl had agreed to join Duobao Group, Ye Chen would also join Duobao Group as promised.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Ye Chen said irritably, then looked at Sheryl, "Are you coming with me now, or coming to find me in a couple of days? I'll probably be staying here for a few days. As for these Seeds of All Things, how about I find you a Civilization Seed that's good at planting later?"
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, not only Sheryl, but even Lin Zheping was stunned.
"Brother? You're not kidding, are you? These few seeds can be exchanged for a Civilization Fire Seed? What kind of treasure is this?" Lin Zheping said in amazement. He was starting to suspect that Ye Chen was buying Civilization Fire Seeds in bulk. Sheryl was also looking at him with the same bewildered expression.
"Of course I'm not joking. The value of the spark of civilization is hard to measure. If it's not used well, it's just an ordinary item. If it's used well, it's a creation. The things you planted before were probably all creatures with average talent, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Sheryl nodded. "Yes, I got ten in total. I planted five, and most of them hatched low-level races. Only one hatched a fairy!"
“That’s it. The lower limit and the upper limit of this thing are extremely high, so there are people who don’t want it and people who are willing to pay a sky-high price. As for me being willing to pay a Civilization Flame, besides buying these seeds, it can also be considered as a gift for you to join the Duobao Group!” Ye Chen said.
When a new lord joins a faction, he usually receives some gifts to help develop his territory. For a low-level lord like Sherry, a suitable spark of civilization is arguably the most scarce resource they have.
Hearing this, Cheryl felt relieved. If it were for purchasing the Seed of All Things, she might still be unwilling, but if it was a reward for joining the Duobao Group, then she could accept it. After all, she had heard that joining such a powerful force would usually result in receiving a Civilization Flame, only the level of which varied. As for the Civilization Flame that Ye Chen promised her, it was probably just a low-level clan.
"Thank you so much! I still need to deal with my goods, so I'll come see you in a few days!" After figuring out what had happened, Cheryl smiled happily.
She set up her stall here not simply to sell the Seeds of All Things, but mainly to sell the crops she grows herself. After all, as a support-type lord, she still needs to acquire resources by selling a large amount of products from her territory.
"Hey! Why sell? I'll take all this stuff. My clan has a big appetite, so I'll stock up on some food for them!" Lin Zheping said nonchalantly. Despite his humble demeanor in front of Ye Chen, he was actually a genuine prodigy lord, and he could easily consume the supplies produced by a low-level lord.
He packed up all of Cheryl's belongings and then followed Ye Chen with the little girl, continuing their shopping spree.
"Oh right, boss! Cheryl got a gift, what about me? What about mine?" Standing up, Lin Zheping suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Chen.
"A gift for meeting? Aren't you just adding something extra? Where would an extra come from for a gift for meeting?" Ye Chen asked, feigning ignorance.
"No way? I'm a proud lord, after all! And I even volunteered to come here! And you didn't even give me a gift?" Lin Zheping couldn't believe it. Even a skinflint like Zhou Bapi wouldn't do this, would he?
"You said it yourself, you're offering yourself up! Isn't that just giving it away for free? Why would you need a gift for giving it away for free?" Ye Chen said matter-of-factly, leaving Lin Zheping bewildered in the wind.
Sherry followed beside them, listening to their conversation with utter shock. She never expected that the boy next to her, who seemed so subservient, was actually a prodigy lord. To a low-ranking lord like herself, that was the difference between an ordinary person and a lord.
She never imagined that she would be able to join one of the top ten powers, and even have a prodigy lord as an extra. It was too dreamlike. Just thinking about it made her happily tilt her head back.
Today is a good day. Not only have I joined the Duobao Group, but I've also gotten the Heavenly Pride Lord as a bonus. I'm destined to be a favored daughter of heaven, to become an empress who will shake the world, and to suppress an era of darkness...
