A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 193 Goodbye Robin
Facing Robin's teasing, Leon scratched his nose awkwardly: "Forget it, I'm just asking casually."

"So you brought all those 200 pieces of wood?" Robin confirmed.

"Yeah." Leon nodded.

"Oh my god, what a convenient ability! If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to drive every time I go out for construction and renovation. Moreover, many large projects require materials that cannot be transported in one trip." Robin said to Leon with envy.

"You don't seem surprised by the existence of special abilities." Leon asked Robin, "Can you tell me why?"

"Because this is Stardew Valley. Although young people may not know much about it, we older generations are very knowledgeable." Robin explained to Leon with a smile, "And you're not the only one with special abilities. I have them too. Otherwise, why do you think I'm the only carpenter in Pelican Town?"

"Does Demetrius know?" Leon asked Robin curiously. He was very curious whether Robin's second husband, the old black man who believed in the supremacy of science, knew that his wife had special skills.

"He never pays attention to my work; his mind is only focused on research." Robin shrugged. "And I don't want him to know, or else he'll definitely find ways to use me as his research subject. I don't enjoy this unique couple's pleasure."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Leon smacked his lips with a hint of regret. "Then your ability should be related to construction. Is it the effect of the Star Fruit?"

"It's a hereditary ability, but it does have something to do with the Star Fruit. My great-grandfather used the Star Fruit. Although we, the younger generations, didn't eat it, we are direct descendants after all, so there is a possibility that we can inherit this talent. I am just a lucky person." Robin explained.

"Oh? There's such a saying. I'm learning something new."

After hearing this, Lyon thought about it for a moment and found this explanation extremely reasonable.

The ability bestowed by the Star Fruit seems to be based on a pattern of genetic mutation, and the heritability of genes allows the modified genes to be passed down, allowing future generations to acquire the same abilities.

Leon had speculated about this possibility from the explanations of Master Rasmodesmus and Linus. Now Robin's answer gave him relevant cases as a reference and actual situation to verify the theory.

Strange knowledge has been added.

"Okay, I'm just a carpenter. You should ask a professional about this convenient question. Now I'm only concerned about my wood problem." Robin looked at Leon who was lost in thought and patted Leon's shoulder in annoyance to wake him up.

"Oh, sorry, but are you just going to put the wood directly at the door of your house?" Leon came back to his senses and then complained to Robin.

"By the way, we have to go to the backyard." Robin also reacted and smiled awkwardly at Leon. Then he took Leon around to the open space behind the house, found an open space under the tent, and gave instructions to Leon.

“Just leave it here.”

Upon hearing this, Lyon immediately threw out all the wood that he had prepared in his backpack. After leaving the system backpack, these woods were neatly arranged into a standard rectangle and fell into the area designated by Robin.

There are ten layers in total, with twenty pieces of wood on each layer, and there is a very obvious gap on the top layer.

"You really don't want to take even a single extra piece." Seeing this, Robin placed the piece of wood in his hand for display on the pile of wood, forming a complete shape, and complained to Leon in a bad mood.

“Aren’t you afraid of returns or exchanges for inferior materials?” “I won’t fool you with inferior wood.” Leon comforted him, extending his hand: “Check out, my dear customer.”

"Okay, okay, two hundred pieces of wood. However, since it's an urgent order, I will buy it at a price higher than the market standard price. Let's say one piece of wood is 6G, and two hundred pieces is 1200G." After counting the quantity and randomly inspecting some of the wood to check the quality, Robin quickly gave his quotation.

"How much do you usually spend on purchasing wood?" Lyon asked.

"A log is 35g each. Processed wood, which is your standard size, is more expensive, 4g each," Robin explained.

"Then will you still make money from the 6G acquisition?" Lyon asked.

"It's a trade secret, but I can tell you, there's definitely money to be made." Robin said mysteriously to Leon, "Who else would be willing to do this kind of hard physical work?"

"Well, I'll ask you to build farm facilities later. You won't kill me, right?" Lyon asked tentatively.

"Of course not. After all, you are one of us. I will only charge for the labor cost, but you have to pay for the materials yourself." Robin assured Leon.

"What if I want to build a chicken coop?" Lyon asked. After all, since he was already here, he asked about the cost of building a chicken coop.

"A chicken coop? 2000G labor fee, 150 pieces of wood and 50 pieces of stone. Once the materials are ready, I can build a basic chicken coop in two days." Robin immediately gave his quote.

Lyon was somewhat happy to hear this. After all, the materials and prices were halved, and the capacity of the chicken coop was also expanded. He then asked.

“How many chickens can a chicken coop hold?”

"This is a basic chicken coop, and it can only hold eight poultry. However, this coop can do more than just raise chickens. If you purchase an upgrade from me, you can upgrade the coop to a large one, doubling the internal space and poultry capacity. I can also provide you with an incubator so you can hatch your own poultry, and additionally, duck cages so you can raise ducks. When you upgrade the coop to an advanced coop, it will also come with an automatic feeder, allowing you to raise cute little rabbits."

Robin enthusiastically promoted his construction services, but also reminded, "Of course, upgrades also require payment, and the materials are also charged separately. Furthermore, the upgraded chicken coop will be larger and take up more space. So before construction, you need to plan the area well."

"Yeah." Leon nodded without saying anything more, and at the same time thought about the breeding issues.

Lyon is not very interested in upgrading the chicken coop for the time being. After all, the construction cost is there, and he does not need to raise ducks and rabbits for the time being. He will raise some chickens first to see the specific situation and benefits of the breeding work, and then consider whether to expand the scale and type of breeding.

If the breeding industry is too troublesome, Lyon may give up the breeding industry. As for the animal output needed for sacrifice in the old community center, he will have to buy it from outside.

After all, farming has system tools to help, so there is not much threshold. But breeding is different. Without system tools, you have to do everything by yourself. Cleaning up the manure, feeding the animals every day and other tasks are all handled by Lyon alone.

Being inexperienced, he was afraid that he would kill the poultry before he could enjoy the rewards of raising them. In that case, he would not only lose money, but also his merits.

　First of all, I would like to thank iamchx for the 100 starting coins reward. Thank you for your support. Secondly, I want to say that rewarding is really unnecessary. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to subscribe? I really don't want you to waste your money. If you have this intention, just vote and chat for a while.
