A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 161: The Moves of an Old Friend

Although the sacrifice list requires five high-quality parsnips, it is not a necessity. You only need to choose three of the four high-quality crops representing the three suitable planting seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

In addition to parsnips, there are three other crops that can be used as substitutes: melon, corn and pumpkin. Melon and corn can be planted in summer, and pumpkin can be planted in autumn, which can also meet the high-quality crop requirements for sacrifice. In spring, Lyon still thinks it is most reliable to plant more crops with high economic value to accumulate original capital.

Originally, Leon planned to walk to Pelican Town, but when he left the farm, he found that the dirt road leading to Pelican Town was no longer muddy, and the soil was hard. The rain that had fallen all day yesterday seemed to have been completely absorbed by the soil, and it became much drier overnight.

Now Leon didn't have to walk anymore. He took out his bicycle and rode straight to Pelican Town. Before passing by Harvey's clinic, he met Abigail.

"Hi, Leon, good morning." Abigail greeted Leon warmly the moment she saw him.

"Good morning, Abigail, are you going to the hospital?" Leon asked curiously when he saw Abigail standing at the door of the clinic waiting for it to open.

"Well, I have a physical appointment today." Abigail nodded. "Most people in this town choose a day every year to see Harvey for a physical. This way we can know our health status at the first time. If you are not busy that day, you'd better make an appointment for a physical examination for yourself."

"Does the physical examination include a pregnancy test?" Leon thought of a special conversation with Abigail in the game.

Hearing this, Abigail looked at Leon curiously and asked, “How do you know I would use this excuse to scare off the boys who want to hit on me?”

"You actually get hit on?" Leon looked at Abigail in confusion and complained. Although Abigail was indeed very pretty, her personality would probably discourage many guys whose brain waves didn't match hers.

"Haha, you actually look down on me! After all, I'm a famous beauty in Pelican Town." Abigail rolled her eyes at Leon, then moved in front of him and asked aggressively, "You haven't answered me yet, how do you know the reason I used to reject other people's approaches!"

"I was just joking with you." Leon explained helplessly, and continued to complain: "And you use this excuse, aren't you afraid that it will be spread out and spread rumors that you are pregnant before marriage."

"Don't worry. People who know me know my personality and my mate selection goals. It would be better to let them believe that my hamster David can talk than to let them believe that I'm pregnant!" Abigail answered nonchalantly, waving her hands.

"It seems that you are quite self-aware." Leon teased with a smile.

"I can't help it. Who made me so unique? There are so few men who are worthy of me." Abigail was not angry at Leon's words. Instead, she proudly struck a boxing stance in front of Leon: "If you want to conquer me, you have to be a strong and mysterious man. In my eyes, boys of the same age in Pelican Town are all wimps, and I don't like wimps."

"I'm a part of Pelican Town now. Are you scolding me too?" Lyon looked at Abigail's slightly slender arms with some amusement and teased.

"Of course, if you're not convinced, you can have a fight with me. After all, how can I know if you're a wimp if we don't have a fight?" Abigail challenged Leon, looking eager to try.

"Try it?" Leon parked his bike and stood in front of Abigail and asked.

“Okay.” Abigail nodded directly, then stretched out her finger and hooked it at Leon: “How about letting you make the first move?”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to hold out for even a single blow if I do. You go first." Leon shook his head and complained to Abigail.

"Humph."

Abigail snorted in dissatisfaction, then punched Leon directly in the eye.

It was fast, at least from a normal perspective. Unfortunately, Leon possessed a system of combat assistance, coupled with a significant increase in physical fitness, so Abigail's attack seemed to him to be played in slow motion. With just a slight tilt of his head, Leon easily avoided Abigail's fist.

Passively taking a beating is not Leon's style. Taking advantage of Abigail's empty punch, her body leaning forward and her feet unsteadily, Leon kicked between Abigail's legs, and leaned forward directly, with his right palm forming an open fist and his elbow bent upward, which is the starting posture of Tieshan Lean in Bajiquan.

However, this move was too harmful, and Leon did not use his full strength. Before his elbow was about to hit Abigail's chest, he retracted his strength and only used his shoulder to touch Abigail's chest, causing Abigail to stagger back.

"How come you're so fast?" Abigail took several steps back before she regained her footing, and exclaimed in amazement as she recalled how in the blink of an eye she had just discovered that Leon had rushed forward and pushed her out.

"Because I have good physical fitness." Leon explained: "You should thank me for not hitting women, otherwise what just hit you wouldn't be a shoulder."

"It seems so. I saw you raise your elbow, but you finally pulled it back." Abigail continued to recall Leon's actions with a frightened expression. If it was his elbow instead of his shoulder, the damage from Leon's attack might have been terrible.

But this still couldn't erase Abigail's curiosity: "Who did you learn this close combat technique from? Why have I never seen it before?"

"An old friend with a middle-parted hairstyle. Everyone calls him Brother Zhiyin." Leon answered seriously.

"He must be a very good fighter," Abigail said with longing.

"Uh" Leon was just joking, but he didn't expect Abigail to take it seriously. For a moment he didn't know how to explain it.

Fortunately, Abigail didn't talk much about this topic. After seeing Leon's speed and experiencing Leon's seemingly ordinary but murderous close combat moves, she knew the gap in strength between herself and Leon.

"Okay, I admit it, you are the only real man in Stardew Valley."

"You are scolding your father as well when you say that." Leon reminded.

"Then let me change it. You are the only real man among the young men." Abigail immediately changed her words.

"I think Alex, the muscular guy, counts too." Leon thought of Alex, who aspires to be a rugby player. He was curious about what Abigail thought of this guy.

"Him? He's just a show-off. The last time I saw him walking his dog, he couldn't even hold the leash and was almost dragged to the ground by his own dog. It was so embarrassing." Abigail complained with disdain.

"."

Hearing this, Leon was speechless. If he remembered correctly, Alex's dog's nickname was Little Gray, and its real name seemed to be Dusty. It was an older greyhound.

It looks ferocious, but is actually very lazy. It basically lies in the doghouse. Alex can't control this old dog that lacks exercise. He finally understands why Alex has never realized his dream.
