A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 169: You want to run away after pretending to be cool?

Linus didn't speak in a hurry after hearing this. Instead, he turned the grilled fish over on the flames and pointed in the direction of Robin's house with his free left hand.

"I hope you can get along well with the residents of this town, rather than treating interpersonal relationships from a utilitarian perspective."

Listening to Linus' words, Leon instantly understood why Linus called him here. This was because Linus witnessed him threatening Demetrius with Malu, and came to teach him a lesson.

"Dealing with people of different personalities naturally requires different ways of getting along with them. When someone is hostile to you when you first meet them, a warm welcome will only lead to a cold reception." Lyon complained as he sat on the other side of the fire pit.

"Who told you to get so close to her daughter?" Linus looked at Leon speechlessly. "I don't believe that with your observation skills, you can't see how much Demetrius values ​​that little girl named Maru."

"Of course, but don't you think he's being too involved?" Lyon retorted.

"After all, she is his only biological daughter and has inherited his wisdom and talent. It is natural for him to spoil her a little," Linus explained.

"Excessive care is not a good thing," Leon complained. "It will put a lot of pressure on the child, and she will start to lose the distinction between care and house arrest."

"You, a bachelor without a girlfriend, are talking about parenting with me, an old bachelor? Don't you think it's weird?" Lester was a little surprised that Lyon actually did some research on child psychology, but he still did not forget to complain.

"Didn't you bring up this topic? So why are you speaking for Demetrius?" Leon shrugged and asked Linus curiously.

"I'm not speaking for him. I'm just reminding you not to overdo certain things." Linus explained, shaking his head. "For example, pulling out a weapon in front of ordinary people is a bit too much."

"He rolled up his sleeves first," Leon protested. "That was a tactical deterrent. Some people need special means to be kept in line."

"Can't you beat a nerd with your bare hands?" Linus complained.

"But I don't want to fight. If we really start fighting, no matter what the reason, I may not be able to face Robin in the future. She is the carpenter of Pelican Town, and I need her help in the planning and construction of my farm. I can't think of any other way except using deterrence to make Demetrius understand that violence cannot solve the problem." Leon explained innocently.

"Forget it, you have your own considerations, so make your own decision." Linus thought about what Leon said and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with what Leon said, so he had to stop discussing with Leon what was the correct way to get along with others.

After all, Leon is not a child anymore. Although he looks young, he is extremely tactful in dealing with people and has his own logic and way of action. Linus feels that in terms of interpersonal communication, he may really have nothing to teach Leon.

"So, do I get a share of the grilled fish?" Realizing that Linus was no longer going to educate him, Leon shamelessly continued to ask Linus.

"Didn't you already have dinner with that little girl?" Linus looked at Leon helplessly and said, "And do you think one fish is enough for the two of us?"

"Understood. I'll go catch another one, but I'm not sure how to cook the fish properly, so I'll need your help," Leon said immediately. "Well, remember to cast your line from the bridge over the blocked outlet of the mine lake." Linus didn't refuse Leon's suggestion, but instead specifically reminded Leon where to fish.

This made Leon raise his eyebrows, but he did not ask the reason. Instead, he obediently found the place specially chosen by Linus, took out the fishing rod and threw it into the water.

The moment the fish hook entered the water, Lyon noticed something was wrong, because the lake in this area was more turbid than the water in other places.

While Lyon held the rod with one hand, he also consciously took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife with the other hand, but he did not hold it in his hand. Instead, he hid it behind his back, still maintaining a fishing posture on the surface.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

As time passed, Lyon found that his fishing float did not move at all. Instead, the water surface where the float was located became more and more turbid. Just as Lyon was about to retract his rod and take out the cherry bomb to throw it into the water to see the situation, the water surface in front of him suddenly boiled.

Then Leon saw a dark thing emerging from the water, rushing towards him with a sea-blue translucent sword in his hand, and the blade went straight to his neck.

At this moment, Leon put the fishing rod into his backpack, and at the same time, he placed the Galaxy Watermelon Knife horizontally in front of him. The extended blade blocked the attack, and the recoil force also made Leon take a half step back.

The attack was ineffective, and the black shadow fell to the shore nearby due to the recoil force, but this time it did not attack Leon again, but went straight to the entrance of the mine.

"You want to run away after pretending to be cool?"

Leon would not just watch the other party slip away like that. He was not a person who liked to suffer losses. Being ambushed already made him unhappy. Now he found that the other party was obviously not human. Such an existence appearing in Stardew Valley was a threat. How could he let it leave?

With a leap, Lyon suddenly rushed several meters away, and at the same time, the extended version of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air and chopped directly at the back of the black shadow.

The black shadow realized that if he continued to run, he might be cut in half, so he turned around and slashed at Leon with the translucent sword, completely ignoring the Galaxy Watermelon Knife that might hit him first.

This life-and-death fighting style caught Lyon off guard, but thinking that he still had the support of forest magic, Lyon was not afraid. Since the opponent wanted to fight to the death, then come on. He didn't believe that this thing would have enough energy to attack him after being chopped by the Galaxy Watermelon Knife.

Realizing that Leon was actually not afraid at all and was going to fight him head-on, the black shadow let out a strange hissing sound, and actually dropped the translucent sea-blue sword in his hand, turning into a ball of black mist and merging into the ground.

"Run away?" Lyon looked at the big sword lying quietly on the ground speechlessly. As for the black shadow, it completely disappeared without a trace. He felt a little annoyed.

However, he did not expect that the other party could escape underground. Faced with this way of escape, he had no means of counterattack at all. He could only stand still and be on guard to prevent the other party from coming out of the ground to attack him.
