A courier from Samsara Logistics handed Locke a cardboard box. Locke opened it and found a sunflower inside.
The courier said, "A Happy Sunflower. It's a moon-ring magic plant worth ten million Magic Stones apiece in the Starfield Sea. It can't be cultivated anywhere else in the Eastern Sector. After a single use, it withers and leaves behind a seed. That's the information that important person asked us to pass on to you."

Locke thanked him. "Thank you, sir."
Then Locke poured his mana into the sunflower, which sent a beam of magical light into the point between his eyebrows.
