A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 190 Lao Deng Returns My Hard-Earned Money
After taking several deep breaths, Demetrius finally suppressed the resentment that was almost filling his heart and the cordial greeting that was about to burst out but needed to be silenced, and spoke slowly.

"The six mushroom cultivation tanks can be harvested every three days. To harvest, you only need to cut off the part exposed to the soil. The roots should remain in the soil. You don't need to water or fertilize them because I installed a humidifier in the cave. Fruit bat feces is also the best fertilizer for them."

"As for the fruit bats, it might take a few days for them to be attracted by the bioelectricity here. When you pick mushrooms next time, remember to wander around the cave. You should be able to find fruit brought back by the fruit bats. Because fruit rots easily, I recommend checking the cave every morning and evening."

After saying this, Demetrius looked at Leon expressionlessly, as if waiting for Leon to continue asking questions.

At the same time, he was also prepared to answer questions from Lyon and provide him with some scientific knowledge about cave transformation.

After all, he had spent a day and a lot of professional knowledge and equipment to build this modified cave. He was eager to tell Lyon about the technical content and his own ingenious ideas.

But after hearing this, Leon just nodded lightly, and then began to say goodbye to Demetrius enthusiastically.

"I see. Got it! Thank you, Mr. Demetrius, for your work on the Red Star Farm cave renovation. I'll keep a close eye on the fungi and fruit bats there to ensure your kindness isn't wasted. It's getting late now, so I won't waste your time by going back to rest. Goodbye!"

Before Demetrius could react, Leon nimbly pushed him out of the cabin and helped him onto the pickup truck. Demetrius was then sent out of the Red Star Farm in a daze.

When Demetrius reacted, he stared at the entrance of Red Star Farm behind him with wide eyes.

Demetrius, who didn't even see Leon there, was filled with mixed feelings.

I feel a little relieved, a little regretful, a little angry, and a little helpless.

Fortunately, I can finally go back and rest. Unfortunately, I was not clearly informed of how great the renovation of this cave is and how high the technical content is.

What made him angry was Lyon's perfunctory attitude towards him, but he was helpless because he seemed to have no effective way to fight back against this perfunctory attitude.

In the end, these emotions dissipated in the roar of the pickup truck engine with a long sigh from Demetrius.

After sending Demetrius away, Leon immediately went into the cave to check the situation.

It was already dark outside, but there was some light in the cave. Lyon looked carefully and noticed that there were some low-power electric lights hung on the rock wall by Demetrius. As for where the electricity came from, Lyon was not sure.

In addition to the low-wattage electric lights, there are three technological products on the rock wall that Leon has never seen before, but they look very impressive.

However, Leon doesn't need to know what these things are, as long as they can be used. When these things break, he can just contact Demetrius to repair them.

Leon was not worried that Demetrius would deliberately cause these technological creations to malfunction quickly.

Because of this, Leon can openly complain about the black scientist's R&D achievements and the lack of rigor in scientific research, and use Maru, a special treasure for Demetrius, to put pressure on him.

After a series of combined punches, Leon felt that Demetrius would definitely help him repair the machine for free.

So it should be Demetrius, not Leon, who should pray that the machine does not malfunction.

As for the mushroom incubator, Leon was familiar with it. Although the design was different from the manual and electrical versions he was familiar with, Leon knew that it could grow mushrooms. After all, a great man once said that it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.

After touring the renovated cave, Lyon returned to the cabin contentedly. He connected the water pipe, took a shower, changed his clothes, turned on the TV to watch some programs, and after waiting for his hair to dry naturally, Lyon lay down in the bed.

After sleeping until dawn, Lyon quickly got up, washed, had breakfast, and then started watering the crops.

After this formal process was completed, Leon returned to the house, pressed seven sevens, and found Wilvik's fortune-telling to check his fortune for the day.

After learning that his luck today was stable and his destiny was in his own hands, he turned off the TV.

He left the house and checked his mailbox; it was empty. This moment made Leon draw his sword and look around, feeling confused.

Because he had done all the work he could do, he didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a moment, Leon decided to go to the cave to take a look. Although Demetrius said that it might take a few days for the fruit bats to migrate into the cave, Leon still wanted to confirm it.

As expected, no fruit bats were seen in the cave. Instead, some mushroom fruiting bodies could be seen emerging from the soil in the mushroom culture tank.

This exaggerated growth rate made Leon unsure whether to complain about the unique natural conditions of Stardew Valley or whether Demetrius had added some powerful fertilizer to the mushroom culture tank.

After leaving the cave, Leon did not go back to the house to lie down and rot, but began to cheer himself up.

The Red Star Farm was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. My primary goal now was to accumulate initial capital.
Although the farm work is done, there are still plenty of opportunities waiting for him outside. He said he would not go to the mine when his luck is not the best, but there are still jobs such as fishing, mining, and logging waiting for him.

At worst, you can go out and look through the trash can. Last time I found an iron ingot in the trash can, who knows, maybe this time you can find a diamond!

With such enthusiasm, Leon took out his bicycle and rushed towards the town.

After all, Pelican Town, as the central area of ​​Stardew Valley, is well connected, connected to the northern foothills above and the beach pier below. It can be said to be the Rome of another world.

However, Lyon's main purpose of going to Pelican Town this time was to find Lewis and question whether Old Deng had embezzled his hard-earned money. How come several days had passed and he had not seen any payment for the goods shipped through the shipping boxes?

When they arrived at Pelican Town, Lyon walked around the square and didn't see Lewis, so he went straight to Lewis's villa and rang the doorbell.

If Lewis wasn't at home, Leon would turn the car around and drive straight to Marnie's ranch to look for this shameless old man.

Fortunately, Lewis did not give Leon this opportunity. After the doorbell rang a few times, Lewis opened the door wearing his unchanging overalls and a fur hat.

"Hey, Leon, I was just about to come look for you."
