A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 243: A freshly graduated college student? No wonder
But Abigail didn't respond with a fist bump for Leon laughing at her.

After all, they were in a mine full of dangers, and she didn't want Leon to be attacked by monsters because of her fooling around.

Abigail knew very well what to do in different situations, and it was better to play around in a safe place.

After Lyon knocked on the stones near the stairs and still didn't see the stairwell leading to the next level, he took Abigail into the mine.

"It's so dark."

The further away from the stairs, the darker the environment in the mine became. After Leon and Abigail walked dozens of meters away, they could only see the area within about one meter around them.

"Don't worry." Seeing this, Leon was not panicked at all. He took out a torch from his backpack and lit it.

In an instant, the light of the torch illuminated the area within five or six meters around the two of them, and their vision suddenly became wider.

"You actually prepared a torch?" Abigail looked at Leon in surprise. With the light of the torch, she would not be so panicked.

"Well, after all, no one knows what the situation is in the mine. It's better to be prepared. The more prepared you are, the safer you will feel." Leon explained.

Of course, the main reason is that he knows that the 31st to 39th floors of the mine are too dark. If you don’t bring a glow ring or a torch in the game, it is really pitch dark. You may not even notice if you knock out a pothole in the stairs.

Not to mention that when he first came to the mine, Malone told him clearly about the situation on floors 31-39. The correct information was right in front of Leon, so how could Leon not prepare lighting tools?

Abigail covered her face in embarrassment when she heard this. Apart from weapons, she brought almost nothing with her when she went down to the mine this time. Fortunately, she had been thinking about becoming an explorer all day long. It seemed that she was still far from it.

Leon didn't want to care about Abigail's embarrassment at the moment. After listening for a moment, he directly handed the torch to Abigail and said, "Hold it well."

Abigail quickly took the torch and held it high, not considering that holding up the source of light might make her the first target of monsters that hate light.

Sure enough, as Abigail held the torch, Leon keenly noticed that the slight flapping sound of wings in his ears became much more obvious, and the sound was approaching him.

Lyon directly took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife, extended its length, and stood still in a bow stance, tightly gripping the handle of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife.

With a sharp explosion, a black shadow swooped down from overhead and attacked Abigail who was holding the torch. However, Leon, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up and cut the black shadow into two pieces with one upward swipe.

It was not until the body fell to the ground that Abigail noticed what Leon had just chopped off. It was a large bat with a wingspan of more than one meter. The cut in the middle of its body was as smooth as a mirror, as if a piece of stone had been cut.

“Amazing.” Abigail stared at Leon with wide eyes and exclaimed: “How did you find out, and how did you move so quickly?”

"I heard it a long time ago. After all, apart from the two of us living people, only monsters can make noises in the mine. If you hear some strange sounds, just be on high alert." Leon explained.

"Is that so? Then how do you know where it will come from?" Abigail asked.

"I heard the sound of wings fluttering, so I knew it could fly. A flying monster definitely wouldn't attack from the ground, it could only come from the sky. I asked you to hold the torch high to increase visibility from above, and if you hold the torch high, you'll become an obvious target for the monster. I just need to wait quietly."

Leon continued to explain while looking at Abigail, trying to see her expression.

Abigail didn't realize that she was being used as bait by Leon, so Leon directly explained his intentions to teach Abigail a lesson: don't trust anyone easily in a dangerous environment.

Abigail might not listen to reasonable words, but as the saying goes, three nice words are not as good as a slap in the face. Only lessons that she has witnessed with her own eyes can make her remember them deeply.

But what made Leon speechless was that Abigail didn't care at all about Leon using her as bait. Instead, she happily held up the torch and said to Leon: "Perfect cooperation, I knew I could definitely help you."

Then Abigail noticed Leon’s strange expression and asked puzzledly: “What’s wrong with you? Am I wrong?”

"Have you graduated from college?" Leon asked back.

"Ah, not yet. What's wrong?" Abigail answered subconsciously.

"That makes sense." Leon sighed, shaking his head, then took the torch back from Abigail's hand.

"Go on. Next time you encounter a big bat like this, you can try to fight it."

"Are you tired?" Abigail asked immediately after hearing this.

"Why do you ask?" Leon looked at Abigail speechlessly and complained, "It's just a cave bat. You can kill it with one knife. How can it be tired?"

"Then why did you let me deal with the monster?" Abigail asked back.

Leon sighed and explained, "You're here for an adventure, so you can't just follow me and do nothing. If you don't have a proper battle, don't you think this adventure will be in vain?"

"Hahaha, that's right." Abigail replied with an awkward laugh, holding her face in her hands.

Then he asked with a look of trepidation, "Can I really fight a monster alone?"

"Be more confident in yourself. You have practiced swordsmanship for so long, so you must put it to the test in actual combat, right? These monsters are not scary. Apart from looking a little weird, they can also be injured and can be killed after suffering fatal injuries." Leon comforted Abigail.

"Besides, I'm still here to cover you, don't panic."

"Ah."

Abigail nodded seriously, and her expression became much more confident. She didn't pay much attention to the previous words, but she understood the last sentence. With Leon's backing, there was no need to panic. She believed that Leon would protect her.

After being encouraged, Abigail walked in front of Leon this time, but not too far away from Leon. The two kept a distance of about half a meter.

During this period, Lyon never retracted the Galaxy machete in his hand, and looked around intently to avoid any accidents. Of course, it was not to protect Abigail, but to avoid himself from overturning.

After all, Abigail is protected by a magic amulet, and apart from having a sharp galaxy machete, she is still a mortal body. It would be a very unpleasant experience if she was attacked by surprise.

　I don't mean to disrespect college students, I'm just trying to be funny. Please forgive me for being in college or having just graduated. By the way, this chapter was written during my lunch break at noon. After that, I have to start working seriously. I don't want to work overtime, so this is the last chapter for today. I have to play SVE when I get home in the evening and think about how to integrate it into the current Stardew Valley in a reasonable and interesting way.
