A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 205 The Dignity of a Chef

Gus was a little moved when he heard this, but Willy continued to ask.

"Is the one taken out alive or dead?"

"Alive," Leon replied.

Willy shook his head and waved his hands, his whole body expressing resistance. "No, a live tiger shark like this will make the boat capsize. Don't do that."

Guts, however, grasped the key point: "So, your special ability can take in living things. Does that mean you can take us in too in a time of crisis?"

"Well, I haven't tried it, and I don't want to do that." Gus's words reminded Lyon of his previous thoughts, but Lyon really didn't want to try it easily.

"It was just a joke." Gus also realized that what he said was somewhat inhumane and hurriedly explained.

Willy, on the other hand, had come to his senses and jokingly said, "I was just showing off my magic fishing box. Now it seems you were just kidding me. You clearly have a more convenient way to store live fish than mine."

"You've never eaten the Star Fruit before." Leon explained. This was the reason he came up with, and it was much more reliable than the one he gave to Hayley last time.

"The Star Fruit, that's not surprising. That magical fruit can indeed give people special abilities." Guts suddenly understood after hearing this.

Willy then asked Leon: "Can you eat the second star fruit?"

"No problem, I'm gifted." Lyon replied.

"That's good, that's good." Willy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.

"I have to continue driving the fishing boat. Leon, if you want to fish, you can continue. As for Gus, have you gotten used to the roughness of the waves?"

"Forehead"

Reminded by this, Gus instantly felt his stomach churning, and then he quickly lay down on the side of the boat and began to help Leon make a nest.

Leon, on the other hand, stroked his chest and subconsciously moved away from Guts.

However, he did not just watch Guts vomit without any mercy. Instead, he took out a bottle of mineral water from the cabin beside him, unscrewed it, and handed it to Guts.

This mineral water was what Leon saw when he took the fishing rod. In addition, there were many canned food and sealed oak barrels in the cabin. It was not known whether they contained fresh water or alcohol.

"Thank you." Gus collapsed on the side of the boat. After rinsing his mouth with mineral water and drinking half a bottle of water, he felt a little better. He leaned against the inside of the boat, gasping for breath.

"How long will it take to get there?" Lyon couldn't help but ask Willy when he saw Gus's expression.

"Almost before dark." Willy thought for a moment and replied, "We should be able to reach our destination and land before nightfall."

In the following time, Willy drove the fishing boat quickly, Gus lay on the boat to fight against dizziness, and Leon stood alone at the bow casting a fishing rod.

After catching a cod about 40 centimeters long in Lyon, he heard the long-lost system prompt.

"After a long period of fishing, you gain new insights into how to catch fish, and your fishing level rises by one level.

Because waiting for fish to bite takes a long time, you've decided to master a bait that will speed up the process. The bait recipe has been unlocked. Blessed by the sea, the first three fish you catch each day will be unable to break free from the hook.

Bait*5 (Bait): Hang it on the hook to quickly catch fish. Required materials: Insect Meat*1.

"I upgraded so quickly?" Thinking that it had not been long since the last upgrade, compared with the number of fish caught from level 0 to level 1 and the number of fish caught after level 1, Lyon felt that this upgrade was really fast.

He felt that it was because the fishing experience provided by the tiger shark was too high that he was able to break through to the fishing level 2 in a short period of time.

However, Lyon still doesn't know how the experience for these skill upgrades is calculated, and the system doesn't have any prompts or experience bar display, which is quite confusing.

The special ability that comes with this upgrade is quite useless to Leon. So far, he has not escaped a single fish. The bonus effect of not dragging the hook for the first three fish every day is not of much help to Leon now.

However, this does not mean that this ability is useless. For example, if Lyon goes to challenge the Fish King now, as long as he can ensure that he can hook the Fish King within the range of his first three buffs, then Lyon will be confident that he can pull the Fish King ashore.

After all, he could even make a tiger shark that was more than three meters long exhausted. Leon didn't think that those fish kings that were only two meters long could withstand a warrior like him.

Because of this upgrade, this idea suddenly popped up in Lyon's mind.

Maybe next time it rains, I can try to catch the spring fish king in the spring mountain lakes.

"This cod looks good. You won't have a chance to catch this kind of fish near the coast. It looks like we can have an extra serving of cod soup for dinner." Willy said happily as he looked at the cod caught by Lyon.

"That's such a waste. Frying the cod will bring out its best flavor." Gus, who was lying dead, protested from the chef's perspective.

"I'll do as you say." Lyon said as he threw the cod into the fish pond in the cabin.

After all, he had little experience in fish dishes. The only two dishes he knew were pickled fish and fish head stewed with tofu. As for sea fish, he had never even touched it.

"Just listen to me," Gus said, raising his hand with some effort. "I'm the chef."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Willy nodded repeatedly. After all, even in this state, Gus still spoke out to stop his proposal. It was obvious that he couldn't stand the idea of ​​wasting food. If he didn't give in, he was afraid that he would have to eat canned food in the evening.

After looking at Willy and Gus, Leon felt that this pair of old friends was quite interesting. He put the fishing rod back into the cabin and didn't plan to continue fishing. He squatted next to Gus and chatted with him.

"How's your preparation for the barbecue we talked about last time going?"

"It's in the trial stage. Mainly because the cumin you mentioned is not easy to find. There is no market or fixed supplier in the east, so I commissioned the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce to help me purchase it in the north. There should be results soon." Gus replied weakly.

"The Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing about this merchant organization again, Lyon was a little surprised. It seemed that the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce had an outstanding reputation and influence in this world.

But why had he never heard of this organization in his daily life in Zuzu City before coming to Stardew Valley?
On the contrary, I've heard so much about the Joja Group that my ears are almost callused.

However, the idea of ​​the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce only flashed through Leon's mind, "Then be sure to inform me when you are ready."

"Of course." Gus gave Leon a thumbs-up, then climbed up again, lay down beside the boat and started making a nest.
