A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 236 We are friends

"I make money, but I don't know how to spend it. I buy a Nokia with my left hand and a Motorola with my right hand."

Leon couldn't help humming a little tune after putting the money in his pocket. He got on his bicycle and headed straight for Pelican Town. He parked his bike next to the cemetery and put away his backpack. Leon took out the rusty key, opened the lock of the sewer, lifted the manhole cover and jumped down.

"Krobus, are you there?"

After entering the sewer and finding Krobus's base, Leon did not see the short and fat Black Donggen, so he shouted.

As soon as he finished shouting, darkness began to spread towards Leon, overwhelming the torch lighting in the sewer, and then Krobus walked out of the darkness.

"Hello, Leon." As soon as he appeared, Krobus forced a smile and greeted Leon.

"Long time no see, Krobus. I'm here to buy a sun essence and a void essence." Lyon also greeted Krobus and explained his purpose.

"One of each? Okay." Upon hearing this, Krobus took out two different essences from his body and handed them to Leon.

The sun essence already makes people feel warm when they touch it, but the void essence only feels cold when they touch it. The subconscious fear that was previously generated by contact with the void essence has disappeared without a trace.

Leon didn't know whether he was used to it or because his strength had increased, so the fear and deterrence contained in the Void Essence had no meaning to him anymore.

He took out 180G from his pocket and handed it to Krobus. After settling the transaction, Leon complained to Krobus, "Did you forget something?"

"Did I forget something?" Krobus looked at Leon in confusion.

"I bought 40 Void Essences from you last time, and I haven't paid you yet." Leon reminded.

"Oh, I didn't forget, but you didn't mention it, so I thought you hadn't collected enough money yet," Krobus explained.

"Brother, I can't let you trust me for nothing." Leon punched Krobus in the chest and then took out a stack of money.

After counting out 45 hundred-dollar bills in front of Krobus, he handed them to Krobus.

"You only owe me 4000G," Krobus reminded Leon, taking out five bills and handing them to him. (The previous 50G was a bug, which has been fixed.)
"I don't like taking advantage of my friends, and as you can see, I've made a lot of money, so I'm not short of money now." Lyon stuffed another five bills back to Krobus.

Krobus didn't hesitate and took the money. "Do you still need Void Essence?"

"Do you have any more?" Leon became interested after hearing that. After all, he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to make money. He certainly didn't take advantage of his friends, but among the mermaids, except Anya, he didn't know the other mermaids.

Anya is obviously not the internal affairs staff who manages the mermaid clan's finances, so Leon has a clear conscience in fleecing the mermaids.

"There aren't many left. The price of Void Essence has tripled recently due to the bounty order from the Mermaid Clan. There's no need to buy it at such a high price, so I don't plan to stock up. The one I gave you before is still in stock. If you need more than 10, I can't get them together." Krobus explained.

"You know the price of Void Essence, but you still want to sell it to me at the original price?" Lyon pretended to make up the difference of 200G, but Krobus directly refused.

"My trading rules are no bargaining, but no price increase either," Krobus explained.

"Okay." Leon didn't continue to push the money. He didn't need the 200G right now, but as a friend, he respected Krobus's trading rules. "I think you must have made money by reselling these Void Essences."

Seeing that Leon took back the money, Krobus laughed and asked casually.

"Yeah." There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Leon nodded and confirmed Krobus's guess.

"You have a talent for business, Leon. You've seized this opportunity. I'm happy for you." Krobus praised Leon. "I'm also happy that you can make money. If you do that, perhaps you can buy my most precious goods."

"What is it?" Lyon was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"The return wand is a magic item with three spatial anchor points. The holder can teleport to the set locations of the three anchor points at will without any consumption or cooling time." Krobus explained.

Of course Leon knew about the return wand, but the return wand he knew was the one in the game that could only return to the Stardew Valley farm. However, according to Krobus's description, the return wand seemed to be able to teleport to three locations.

"How much do you plan to sell it for?" If it was just a simple return wand, Lyon might only consider buying it when he had more money than he could spend. After all, what he had in abundance was time, and he would have the teleport totem as a cheap substitute later.

But when Leon saw that this return wand could be used with three teleportation points to choose from, he was really tempted.

"200WG." Krobus quoted the same price as in the game.

When Leon heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I can't afford it. I can't afford it at all."

"I know. I just told you that I have this thing. Unfortunately, I can't lend you this return wand. Otherwise, you can use it first and then give it to me when you have enough money." Krobus replied helplessly.

"I understand." He had been able to take away the Void Essence on credit before because it was not rare and its value was not too high. However, if it were Leon, he would not be willing to sell a magic item worth two million gold on credit.

"Because this wand was entrusted to me by a friend, it's considered a consignment. In fact, the wand is still in his hands. I can only take the wand back if I pay for it. Sorry." Krobus seemed to be worried that Leon would misunderstand him as stingy, so he quickly added.

"Why are you apologizing to me? How could I possibly blame you?" Leon looked at Krobus speechlessly. He always felt that this guy seemed a little inferior and had a bit of a people-pleasing personality. He immediately said to Krobus.

"We are friends, aren't we? Friends are people who share the same ideals, sentiments, mutual understanding, and mutual respect and understanding as equals. Do you understand me?"

"I understand what you mean, Leon, but I'm not human." Krobus nodded and reminded with some emotion.

"It's enough for you to understand what I mean. It doesn't matter whether you are human or not. You just need to know that we are friends. Just because you are not human, does that mean we are not friends?" Leon looked at Krobus speechlessly and complained.

　Regarding the issue of adding more chapters, I can tell my brothers and sisters that there is no rule of adding more chapters in exchange of monthly tickets or rewards. I write books not only to kill time, but also to make money, so I will add more chapters on my own initiative when I can and have plenty of time. I don't need these external stimuli.

　　And I'm serious. Brothers, it's better to save money for subscription instead of giving rewards. If one day you feel like you don't want to read it anymore, you can just give up the book. I won't blame you. After all, it's definitely my fault that I can make you give up. I just hope that before you give up, you can tell me the reason.

　　I also want to make more money, and the more I write, the more I can make, so I won't be a lazy person. You brothers can rest assured about this. Two updates is just the minimum, and I don't even know how many updates a day I will make. Sometimes, when I'm in the mood and have some free time, I can even write 20,000 a day, so don't worry.

　　That’s all I have to say. I hope my brothers and sisters will continue to support me. Thank you.
