A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 300 Frozen Earth Boots

"Iron Ore (Resource): A common ore that can be smelted into iron ingots."

Looking at the iron ore in his hand, recalling the hard silver-white iron ore that he had just knocked a dozen times, Lyon moved his numb fingers and silently put the iron ore into his backpack.

An ordinary pickaxe is clearly struggling to deal with the rocks and mineral raw stones in this deep mine.

It's time to find Clint to upgrade the strength of the pickaxe. Leon plans to take advantage of his good luck today and get more iron ore to directly upgrade the pickaxe to steel.

At this moment, Leon could no longer feel the cold air in the mine. The large amount of physical work made him constantly exert his strength and mobilize his muscles. The heat brought by the exercise made him feel only cool when facing the cold air.

The only thing he wanted to complain about was that the boiled eggs he brought as snacks were still hot before he took them out of his backpack, but after he peeled the shells, they were basically cold.

This shows how cold the underground mine is, but for Lyon, it is not very cold.

From this point of view, Lyon is certain that his physical fitness has been obviously improved to an exaggerated level. Perhaps in winter, he does not even need to wear a thick cotton jacket or down jacket.

He continued to chisel out pieces of frozen stone in the mine, occasionally taking out the thirsty machete from his backpack to cut into those ignorant frozen slimes and dust elves. Time quietly passed in the labor and fighting.

"Long battles make you stronger, and your battle level rises by one.

During the battle, the physical energy consumption in the battle makes you realize that a high-quality food may bring you more abundant physical replenishment, and the tuber platter recipe has been unlocked.

You have received the blessing of the God of War, and your physical fitness has been improved."

"Tuber Platter (Dish): A mouthwatering dish that won't let you stop eating. Consuming it restores a significant amount of energy and provides a +3 attack damage buff for five hours. Required Ingredients: 1 Cave Radish 1 Winter Root"

"What a good thing." After seeing the recipe introduction of the tuber platter, Lyon couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Among the recipes unlocked by the system, this is the only dish with special enhancement effects that he can make now.

Although Winter Root is a collectible item that only appears in the soil of Stardew Valley in winter, the monsters in the frozen layer mine environment after the 40th floor of the mine can also provide Leon with a way to obtain Winter Root.

For example, the frozen slime, in addition to dropping the slime mud which is indispensable to the slime family, also has two winter roots with curved derivative vines on their heads which also come from the corpse of the frozen slime.

Together with the stock of cave radishes he had stored in the mine, Lyon had gathered the ingredients for at least two tuber platters.

Lyon actually didn't care about the three-point bonus to attack power. What he cared about was the supplement of physical strength provided by the tuber platter. Physical strength was sometimes more important than this meager increase in attack power.

Lyon continued his mining career with great enthusiasm. The remaining cherry bombs in his backpack were all used up. There was no other way. He was reluctant to use a single piece of iron ore, but when several pieces of iron ore were put together, it was really unreasonable for Lyon not to use the cherry bombs.

After all, not only do these raw iron ores require multiple blows to break, but their hard texture also causes the recoil force fed back from the blows to make Lyon's palms numb. If every piece of raw iron ore has to be broken by hand, Lyon feels that after a day of this, his hands may become numb.

Furthermore, the rock became harder the deeper he went. For example, ordinary frozen rock only needed two or three hits to break at first, but by the 49th floor, Leon needed four or five hits. Furthermore, the temperature inside the 49th floor was significantly lower than on the 40th floor. Even with Leon's current physique, he felt goosebumps and even had a slight nasal congestion from the cold.

This was a sign of a cold, so Leon didn't plan to continue wasting time. He quickly knocked out a hole in the stairs leading to the 50th floor with all his strength, and then slid down the stairs directly.

The first thing Leon did after landing was to connect the power of the elevator. Seeing the button representing the 50th floor next to the elevator shaft light up, Leon breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his attention to the treasure chest placed in the center of the 50th floor.

Another reward from Mr. Qi for the brave ones who explore the mines.

Opening the box, Leon saw a pair of leather boots with brown leather uppers and soft white fur filling inside.

"Tundra Boots (Footwear): +2 Defense +1 Immunity. The plush material keeps your feet warmer, and the bumpy sole makes walking on ice as smooth as walking on flat ground."

The footwear had better properties than the pair of leather boots that Linus had taken away earlier and given to Leon, and the plush lining looked very warm, so Leon took off his rain boots that were frozen hard and put on these frozen boots.

After putting on the permafrost boots, Lyon's feet, which were originally a little cold, felt that the blood in his feet, which had been sluggish, began to circulate rapidly again, making Lyon feel his feet warm again.

The fur inside the boots is also very soft and smooth. Wearing them feels like putting your feet into a cat's arms, and the touch is extremely good.

The rise in temperature of his feet also made Lyon clearly feel the temperature of his body rising.

The freezing temperature that had made him so cold that his upper and lower teeth were chattering no longer made Leon feel cold, and he regained the ability to move freely.

This situation gave Lyon the confidence to continue exploring the mine.

"These boots are something special. No wonder Mr. Qi put them here as a reward."

Lyon jumped twice on the spot, feeling the comfort and warming effect of these frozen soil shoes, and couldn't help but sigh.

For a moment, Leon couldn't help but think that Mr. Qi should be in the casino on the second floor of Sandy's store. Maybe when he has time, he can go to the desert to take a look. If he can make friends with Mr. Qi in advance and get to know him, then he will have another big support.

With his body restored to vitality and warmth, Lyon couldn't help but start exploring the mine again. He found the stairwell leading to the 51st floor in the corner, and Lyon finally chose to go down.

In just a moment, Leon climbed back out of the stairwell.

"Oh my god, why is the temperature on the 51st floor so low?"

With such a roar, Leon reluctantly boarded the elevator, pressed the button for floor 0 leading to the surface, and returned to the ground.
