A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 202 The Pattern Opens
"There's no need for pirates, but what makes you think I can serve as a combatant?"

Leon complained when he heard this and asked casually.

"Gus told me. He said you have joined the Explorers Guild and are a real explorer. Aren't explorers all powerful warriors?" Willy asked back.

"Um, how did Gus know that?" Leon asked.

"Of course I heard it from others. Don't underestimate Gus's intelligence ability. After all, he runs the only tavern in Pelican Town. Basically, he knows anything special that happens in Pelican Town. The guests in the tavern are definitely the best source of intelligence." Willy complained.

"I heard you guys talking about me, so, is it good or bad?"

Just at this moment, Gus brought the food to the table. After placing the food, he complained with a stern face. However, although his face was stern, the corners of his mouth were raised.

"Talk about your intelligence capabilities." Willy did not hide it. After all, this was a fact, not slander.

Gus smiled smugly and replied, "Of course. So, Leon, if you have anything you want to know in the future, you can ask me. I've basically heard about everything that happens in Pelican Town."

"Okay." Leon nodded with a smile, then looked at the sumptuous food in front of him: "By the way, how did you cook it so quickly? I remember you went into the kitchen not long ago."

"I prepared the food before I went to see Willy. I can just heat it up and eat it when I get back." Gus said, and then asked Leon, "Willie has already explained the situation to you, right?"

"Well, now that I'm clear, are you planning to go with us to find old Hans' treasure?" Leon asked.

"Yeah." Gus nodded in confirmation.

"What should we do with the Star Fruit?" Leon asked curiously.

"We've suspended business for just one day. Compared to the business of the Star Fruit, I still want to go and see where Old Hans' treasure is hidden. I want to confirm whether Old Hans' remains are also there." Guts explained.

"understand."

Lyon glanced at Guts after hearing this, but still had a small question in his mind.

That is the question of whether Gus would be willing to accept Old Hans's remaining property after seeing his treasure trove.

After all, it is a friend's legacy. Even if the friend is probably dead, this behavior still feels a bit blasphemous.

Leon and Old Hans didn't know each other, so they didn't have any feelings. Willy seemed to be very interested in the treasure and didn't care about these things. On the contrary, Gus, who had remembered Old Hans for so many years, couldn't figure it out.

It was unclear whether Guts and Leon were on the same page or just chatting. When he gestured for them to eat first, Guts raised his fork and slowly said, "I have a selfish motive for going to Old Hans's treasure trove this time. I must take a portion of Old Hans's treasure, but it won't be much. Twenty percent is enough."

"I get 20% too, and the remaining 60% is yours, Leon." Willy added, "This is what we agreed on before. After all, you are a combatant and a provider of location clues. There is absolutely no problem in taking more." "Uh..." Although Leon was very happy to hear that he could get the biggest share, he always felt something was wrong.

After all, the current atmosphere was a little off, so he made a direct suggestion.

"I can definitely take 40%, and you guys can take 2, leaving me with the remaining 30%."

"No, I took the 20% to mail it to Old Hans' nephew. He once mentioned his nephew to me. As his only relative, he has the right to inherit part of Old Hans's estate. Saying more would be bad for him and unfair to you, Leon. Without you, the money might be taken away by others or forgotten on that unknown island. Besides, I'm not short of money." Gus explained.

"I took 20% to make up for the losses from this voyage, and I should have made some profit, but I'm not really interested in making money. In fact, I care more about the process of this treasure hunt. Every man on the sea dreams of finding treasure. Being able to experience this special experience is the biggest gain for me." Willy also explained.

"So, Leon, you should take 60%, no need to refuse." This is what the two said together after they finished speaking.

The two people's explanations also cleared up Lyon's previous doubts.

Guts is still the same Guts. This time he went to find old Hans' treasure trove not for himself, but for the friendship. This made Leon have a new understanding of Guts's character. Having a friend like Guts is definitely a great blessing in life.

Willy did it because of his interests and dreams, which Leon could understand. They both had their own ideas and decisions, so Leon didn't intend to dissuade him.

As for his own 60%, he accepted it with peace of mind and would not follow Gus's example and give the money to the old Hans' nephew. After all, he had no relationship with the old Hans, and he was not a saint.

Now that things were talked out, the three of them stopped discussing these issues and started enjoying the meal prepared by Gus.

After the three of them had eaten, Guts started to go out with Leon Willy. After locking the door of the Star Fruit, he took out the notice he had prepared long ago and hung it on the door of the bar.

"Let's go. Willy has prepared the food and fresh water. We can go out to sea directly. Leon, is there anything else you need to prepare?" Standing at the door of the Stardrop Salon, Guts asked first.

"No, I brought everything with me." Leon said, taking out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife directly from the system backpack: "Including weapons, so I can guarantee your safety on this trip, but if you encounter a battle, you must obey me."

"Ah."

The two looked at the Galaxy Watermelon Knife in Leon's hand with curiosity, especially when Leon showed off his weapon and then put it away directly. This ability to take objects from a distance opened the eyes of Willy and Guts.

However, neither of them asked Leon what the specific situation was. After all, they were middle-aged men who had lived for forty or fifty years. They had seen too many things. Although Leon's move was magical, it would not scare them.

Leon also noticed the two men's frankness about their abilities, and he felt relieved. At the same time, he felt a little contempt for his previous self who was a little timid and wanted to hide everything and pretend to be an ordinary person.

Life in Stardew Valley, or life in this world, is much wilder than Leon imagined. Some supernatural abilities that seem miraculous to Earthlings may not be considered unacceptable to most people in this world.
