A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 142 Since everyone has a unique skill, I will also reveal my cards

“What I fish for is not fish, but artistic conception.”

After Lyon finished speaking, the float happened to move at this moment. He pulled the fishing rod slightly, but the feedback force was not strong, so Lyon directly reeled in the line and lifted the rod, and pulled a smallmouth bass out of the water with brute force.

The fish drew a graceful arc in the sky with water droplets, and was caught by Leon with one hand when he stood up. He then quickly removed the hook and threw it into his backpack.

"Where's the fish?" Haley asked Leon in shock.

After all, she watched Leon catch a smallmouth bass and hold it in his hand, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Release it." Leon answered seriously.

"But I didn't see you throw it into the water?" Haley muttered blankly.

"That's because you didn't get enough rest and you're in a daze. Go back and get some sleep. Look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes." Leon said casually.

When Haley heard this, she immediately covered her face and turned around and ran back at an astonishing speed.

Leon shrugged his shoulders, then put on the bait again and threw the float into the river. He didn't know whether it was because the bait was strong or because the fish came out to breathe on rainy days and were more concentrated, but in just a short while, the second fish was hooked.

But the third fish made Lyon wait for five or six minutes without seeing any movement from the float. Instead, he waited until raindrops began to fall from the sky.

Fortunately, Lyon put on a raincoat in advance and put on the hat connected to the raincoat. Lyon stood in the rain and stared at the float patiently.

"You lied to me. I don't have any dark circles under my eyes at all, and I'm sure I saw the fish disappear out of thin air in your hands just now. How did you do that?" At this time, Haley, who had run back, appeared beside Leon again, holding a small flower umbrella in her hand to block the raindrops.

If it were any other day, Haley would definitely curl up in her bed on a rainy day. She hated rainy days and the road surface that became sticky and slippery due to rain, because it would make her clothes and shoes sticky with mud and water. However, due to the sudden disappearance of the fish in Leon's hand, her curiosity suppressed her cleanliness.

"What fish? Did I catch a fish? How come I didn't know?" Leon continued to play dumb and refused to tell Haley the truth.

As Leon expected, Hailey glared at him angrily, and then she didn't leave. She just stood beside Leon: "Humph, let's see what you will do when you catch the third fish later."

Leon smiled, then stopped paying attention to Haley and stared at the float silently.

The fishing float, which had been silent for five or six minutes, actually started to move after Haley appeared. The movement was quite large, and the entire bean float was dragged into the water. However, the pulling force fed back was much smaller than that of the catfish before.

But it was also very powerful, at least it prevented Leon from miraculously pulling it out of the water with great force.

By properly letting out and reeling in the line, and occasionally lifting the fishing rod to pull the hooked fish to prevent it from running too far, Lyon successfully dragged it ashore in just over two minutes.

It was a somewhat flattened fish with a large head and eyes. The sharp, angular lip on the edge of its lower jaw was clearly visible, fitting into the groove of its upper jaw. Its back had a metallic blue-green sheen, and its lower flanks were silvery-white. It looked very beautiful, and Leon had never seen anything like it before.

Grabbing it in his hand, Leon saw the system's information about the fish.

"Sprat (fish): Lives in schools in the sea but returns to the rivers in spring to spawn."

"It turns out to be a herring. The color is a little different from the game. I almost didn't recognize it because it changed its skin." Leon complained in his heart, then grabbed the gills of the herring, which was about 40 centimeters long, took out the fishhook from its mouth, and threw it into the system backpack.

"Disappeared again! This time I didn't even blink! Leon, how did you do it?"

Ever since Lyon caught the fish, Haley has been keeping a close eye on Lyon's movements, especially when Lyon held the sprat in his hand, her eyes widened. But even so, she still couldn't see how Leon managed to hide the sprat.

"Magic." Leon continued to talk nonsense.

"."Haley looked at Leon speechlessly. She was too proud to raise her middle finger to express her dissatisfaction for a long time. In the end, she could only patiently complain.

"Do you take me for a fool? Magic is just a trick. What you did is definitely not magic."

"Then you can think of it as magic." Leon continued to answer.

"Magic? Who are you kidding?" Hailey shook her head. "Magic is just an illusion in stories. Where does magic come from in reality?"

"Then do you know monsters?" Leon asked back.

"I know." Haley nodded subconsciously.

"If monsters can exist, why can't magic? Do you also think monsters are mutated life forms?" Leon complained.

"Forehead"

Haley was stunned by Leon's words. She had never thought about these things in her daily life. Most of her attention was focused on fashion magazines and photography work.

Although she knew about monsters, Haley rarely saw those ugly things called dangerous creatures, because most human settlements had Explorers Guilds that protected local life and safety.

At this moment, Leon's words made her start to think about these issues for the first time.

Looking at Hailey's pensive look, Leon smiled and found it quite interesting.

After all, he couldn't keep hiding his convenient methods. Yesterday, when Maru and Demetrius noticed his special ability to take objects from a distance, they were only curious and not horrified. This made Leon realize that perhaps people in this world are not so resistant to supernatural powers.

Now Hayley has become his second experimental target. If even Hayley can accept this, then Leon will not intend to hide the fact that he has a special ability to store items at any time.

After all, every time he needed to store or retrieve something, he had to find a place where no one would notice him. It was like being a thief. Not only was it inconvenient, but Leon himself was not used to this kind of sneaky thing, especially the last time he went fishing with Willy. He had brought his fishing rod from the farm in advance, and he looked so stupid.

Especially when Lyon discovered that Willy also had a unique skill, the small fishing box in his hand could actually hold fish that were much larger than the box, and it could even ensure that they had enough swimming space and air intake, ensuring that the fish in the fishing box could stay active. Isn't this also a kind of storage ability?

Since everyone has unique skills, one more wouldn't be too much, so Leon felt that he could reveal a little bit.
