Chapter 383: Mysterious Little Shop in the Stellar Realm

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Mysterious Little Shop in the Stellar Realm

A cold, mechanical notification rang clearly in Seraphina Sullivan’s mind!

’As I thought!’

’The full moon is the key!’

"Enter!" Seraphina Sullivan confirmed without a shred of hesitation.

The next second.

Something strange happened.

In the limited Space of her RV, the Wall right next to the storage cabinets suddenly began to ripple like water.

It quickly condensed and solidified, forming a wooden door whose surface was carved with complex, unfamiliar star patterns.

The door appeared out of thin air.

It looked completely out of place in the RV’s interior.

And yet, it was undeniably real.

The moment the door appeared, the surrounding light seemed to dim.

A profound and tranquil Aura filled the air.

Sean Chandler, who had been meditating nearby with his eyes closed, seemed to sense something.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

His confused gaze fell upon Seraphina Sullivan and the door that had just appeared.

Seraphina Sullivan gave him a reassuring gesture.

She whispered, "I have some business to take care of. I’ll be right back. You and Flora guard this place. Don’t let anyone near this door."

Sean Chandler nodded without asking any questions.

He simply stood up, alert, and positioned himself by the RV’s entrance.

Flora Sullivan had also opened her eyes and was now tilting her head, looking at the door with curiosity.

But without an order from Seraphina Sullivan, she didn’t move any closer.

Seraphina Sullivan took a deep breath, composing herself.

Then, she reached out and gently pushed open the wooden door carved with the starry sky.

The door opened with a CREAK.

Behind the door was not the wilderness outside the RV.

Instead, there was a deep, seemingly boundless darkness.

A single, faint ray of light stretched out from within, forming a barely perceptible path.

Without hesitation, Seraphina Sullivan stepped through the doorway.

After she entered, the wooden door behind her closed and dissipated without a sound.

It was as if it had never been there at all.

Inside the RV, only Sean Chandler and Flora Sullivan remained, along with the [Beautiful Dream Stamp] that still lay waiting under the pillow, ready to be activated.

「...」

She felt a slight sense of weightlessness and spatial displacement.

When Seraphina Sullivan’s feet were on solid ground again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar Space.

It looked like the inside of a small, strangely styled shop.

The walls were deep blue, like a flowing night sky dotted with twinkling stars.

The air was filled with a faint scent, a mixture of old books and some kind of spice.

On a few rows of seemingly randomly placed wooden shelves were various items, each giving off a faint glow.

Seraphina Sullivan couldn’t see them clearly; it was as if some kind of Power was obscuring her view.

In the center of the shop was a small, wooden counter.

And behind the counter stood a... hard-to-describe figure.

It looked like a silhouette wrapped in a large, gray cloak.

Its face was hidden in the shadow of its hood, with only two points of eerie blue light glimmering from within, like eyes.

It stood there silently, as if it had been waiting for a very long time.

"Welcome, fated guest."

A neutral, peaceful voice that seemed to resonate directly in her mind spoke.

"Here, in the Stardust Realm, is a... small shop that appears with the full moon."

"Please, feel free to browse. The store coupon in your hand allows you to make... one free transaction."

Seraphina Sullivan’s gaze swept over the eerie blue lights beneath the mysterious cloak.

She didn’t probe into the being’s identity.

’In a place like this, it’s probably better to know as little as possible.’

She was more concerned with the rules of the transaction.

"I can only make one transaction?" Seraphina Sullivan confirmed.

"That is correct."

The neutral Voice of the Soul replied calmly.

"One key, one chance. That is the rule of the Stardust Realm."

Seraphina Sullivan nodded and said no more.

She turned her attention to the faintly glowing shelves inside the shop.

Time was limited; she had to browse quickly and make the best possible choice.

Her gaze swept quickly over several extraordinary-looking items.

Ultimately, her attention was captured by a few items displayed in a separate crystal case near the counter.

First were a few peculiar seeds that looked as if they were carved from jade. A text description floated beside them:

[Planting Space]

[Effect:

1. Space Creation: Upon use, opens an independent, miniature Planting Space within the user’s soul or a bound space, with an initial size of approximately 10 cubic meters. This space can hold soil and water for plant cultivation.

2. Spiritual Energy Nourishment: The Planting Space contains a trace amount of "Innate Spiritual Energy," which can slightly accelerate plant growth (by about 10-30%) and slightly increase plant Quality and the probability of mutation.

[Note: Suitable for customers who enjoy gardening or rely on plant-based Abilities.]

"Planting Space..."

Seraphina Sullivan’s heart stirred.

’This seems to partially overlap with my [Scavenger’s Farm].’

’But the accelerated growth from the "Spiritual Energy Nourishment" is a feature my Scavenger’s Farm lacks.’

Still, expanding her planting area wasn’t her most urgent need right now.

Next to it was an ancient-looking, dark gold horn that seemed to be carved from the horn of some colossal beast:

[King’s Horn] (Single-Use Summoning Item)

[Effect: Blowing this horn will randomly summon the projection of an "army" from an unknown dimension or a fragment of history to fight for you.

The summoned army is completely random.

At worst, it could be a small squad of weak goblins.

At best, it could be a young dragon or an elemental being.

The summoned beings will completely obey the horn blower’s commands until they disappear or are killed in battle.

[Note: A huge gamble. Luck, after all, is a part of one’s strength.]

"Randomly summoning an army..."

The corner of Seraphina Sullivan’s mouth twitched.

’An item that relies on luck is far too unpredictable. It’s a complete shot in the dark.’

’At a critical moment, it could be a lifesaver, but it could also just summon a pile of cannon fodder and waste the opportunity, or even call forth some uncontrollable trouble.’

Risk and opportunity coexisted.

But right now, Seraphina Sullivan needed a more reliable guarantee.

Beside that was a small pouch wrapped in special silk, containing about five or six strange seeds.

The seeds were as translucent as rubies, and a liquid seemed to flow within them.

[Healing Blood Grape Seeds]

[Effect: When successfully planted, these will yield [Healing Blood Grapes].

Consuming these grapes can effectively alleviate and cure the symptoms of various common diseases.

These include, but are not limited to, colds, fevers, mild bacterial or viral infections, and inflammation.

They also have some effect in promoting the healing of moderate injuries.

[Note: In an age without doctors or medicine, one healthy healing grape vine might save an entire tribe.]

"Healing Blood Grapes!"

Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes lit up!

This was exactly what her group needed most right now!

It could treat diseases and combat the spreading epidemic!

If she could get it, she could not only help Justin Brooks’s mother and many other sick companions...

...but also provide a vital layer of health security for everyone!

Its value was immeasurable!

Seraphina Sullivan’s gaze was about to lock onto the packet of seeds, ready to make her choice.

However, just as her gaze was about to settle...

An item, placed by itself on a black velvet cushion in the deepest part of the display case, instantly captured her full attention!
