Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 First Visit to Stardew Valley

23rd Dungeon, Fourth Block, 233rd Dungeon.

"Destination reached!"

Ye Yuan jogged all the way to a simple Dungeon entrance. It had a grey stone door frame and a wooden door over 2 meters high and 3 meters wide. A worn-out wooden plaque hung on the door frame with "233" carved on it, which was the Dungeon's identification number.

Below the number, the Dungeon's related information was also carved.

[23rd Dungeon]

[Location: 23rd Block, Fourth Block]

[Dungeon Level: Black Iron Lower-level]

"The level is very low."

The highest-level Dungeon Ye Yuan had explored was Bronze, which was why her Adventurer rating was Bronze-level Adventurer.

Generally, Dungeon levels are divided into 9 types: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Blue Luster, Purple Luster, Obsidian, Legend, and King-level. Black Iron is the lowest-level Dungeon.

This meant that the various monster levels in the Dungeon were very low, all Black Iron-level creatures, and the Dungeon would not be very large.

Of course, there were also Dungeon Lords who used simple elements to create extremely disgusting Dungeons, such as monsters hidden underground, or monsters hidden behind doors…

There were also some low-level but very insidious small monsters that would ambush you. If you weren't careful, you would still suffer a great loss. You must not be careless!

Ye Yuan pushed open the wooden door and walked in. Beyond the wooden door was a small room. A magic array was carved on the ground, and at the center of the array was a stone altar for placing soul crystals, used to activate the teleportation array to enter the Dungeon.

It was a very common way to enter a Dungeon.

Ye Yuan came before the stone altar. It was marked: Activation requires five soul crystals.

"Hiss, 3 soul crystals per hour? What a strange pricing method. Normally, isn't it one soul crystal deducted per death? It's actually charged by the hour? Aren't they afraid of losing a fortune?"

Ye Yuan complained, then took out three blue crystal bodies, about the size of a thumbnail, from her Arms. These were soul crystals.

She placed them on the stone altar.

A flash of light passed, and Ye Yuan appeared as a phantom shadow in the room. This meant she had already entered the Dungeon.

Dying inside was not true death; it only affected one's mental power.

[soul crystal + 3]

"Oh, Adventurers are finally here! GG is useful!"

Feeling the increase in the number of soul crystals, Lu Xuan awoke from his slumber and paid attention.

Ye Yuan opened her eyes, and before her was a selection panel.

[Name: …]

[Farm Name: …]

[Your Favorite: …]

"…"

Ye Yuan had never seen this before, but she quickly figured out what it was for.

"Ye Yuan… Night Farm… soul crystal…"

After filling it out, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, the scene changed, and she was lying on a bed?

She instantly flipped up from the bed, her eyes vigilantly scanning her surroundings.

After a quick scan, she found herself in an ordinary room with a bed, a cabinet, a large iron box-like object, a table, and a package on the floor.

Such a warm and ordinary scene, could it really be a casual Dungeon?

"No monsters?"

"I don't believe it!"

Ye Yuan suspected this was a trap set by the Lord, using such a warm scene to conceal the inherent danger!

"Is it hidden under the bed?! Ha! I found you, die!"

Saying that, she drew her long sword and stabbed through the bed board.

"Alas…"

No blood appeared, no damage appeared, nothing at all. She didn't hit anything.

It wasn't a monster hidden under the bed after all!?

"Heh heh, interesting!"

"Could it be in the package?!"

Suddenly, she leaped and turned, stabbing her sword through the package on the ground in front of her.

Immediately, several rectangular packaging bags leaked out of the package, and several seeds scattered around.

"Ha… not there either!"

Could it really be a "casual" Dungeon!?

Ye Yuan fell into doubt.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. If Dungeon Lords didn't constantly create dangers to make them die, how would the Lords grow!?

Ye Yuan didn't believe it and attacked her surroundings, trying to find out if there were monsters disguised as furniture.

While jumping around wildly, she released skills at the empty furniture, even rolling on the ground to avoid non-existent monster attacks…

In a short while, the entire room was in ruins, and the television was even split in half.

Looking at Ye Yuan, who was like a frightened animal, Lu Xuan felt utterly speechless.

He had indeed underestimated the extent to which Adventurers were ravaged by dangerous Dungeons; they were so paranoid.

In his speechlessness, he felt a little pity for them.

From Ye Yuan's behavior, he could even imagine the hardships she had endured.

How miserable!

The Lords in the industry were all too bad. He was good; he paid attention to the physical and mental health of Adventurers and created a Dungeon with no difficulty.

"No, I need to provide some guidance."

Lu Xuan threw a letter into the Dungeon, and it suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yuan.

Before Ye Yuan could react, the letter that appeared opened in front of her.

[Dear Ye Yuan…]

[When you see this letter, it means you must be in a difficult situation, feeling tired of life, encountering many difficulties, traps, schemes, hardships…

It's okay. If you are tired of that kind of life, why not try the life here?

I once realized that the connection between people and between people and nature is precious, so I came here…

And started a relaxed, happy life.

There is a farm here, now gifted to you, Night Farm… I hope you can live happily enough here…

...... Your loving Grandfather]

Ye Yuan looked at the content of the letter, at first somewhat confused.

Upon a second look, she was touched.

She thought of her parents…

She still remembered how she came to this Dungeon world with enthusiasm and anticipation, eagerly planning to forge her own Adventurer's great career here.

But reality gave her a harsh punch, letting her know how treacherous Dungeons were.

For a long time, she couldn't help but want to escape back home, but her parents, teachers, and friends had spent so much to help her come here, and going back in such a pathetic state would be too embarrassing.

She was a bit too proud to do that.

"Damn Lord, they even play the emotional card!"

[Emotion Crystal + 16]

Then, the letter turned to the second page.

This was the tutorial.
