A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 316 Sophia

The chickens were as energetic as ever, the mushrooms lived up to expectations and were all ordinary mushrooms, and the fruit bats performed normally, while the underground cave was empty.

"Oh, destroy it quickly, I'm tired." Looking up at the fruit bats hanging upside down above his head, Leon sighed.

He couldn't help but raise the slingshot he had just put down, and repeated this three times. Finally, Leon quietly put the slingshot into his backpack and left the cave.

After tidying up his messy hair, changing into a new pair of trousers without any mud on them and taking some things from the treasure chest, Leon slowly rode his bicycle towards Pelican Town.

Even though it was only a little after ten o'clock, it didn't stop Leon from going to the banquet early. After all, it didn't matter where he stayed. He could even brag to Guts about the Star Fruit.

However, before going to obtain the Star Fruit, Leon still planned to go to Clint's place. He had already prepared five copper ingots and five iron ingots. This time, Leon was going to upgrade his pickaxe into a steel pickaxe.

"Hi, hi, hi, I'm here, Clint, what are you doing?" Pushing open the door of Clint's blacksmith shop, Leon shouted to Clint.

"Here I am!" Clint walked out of the coal storage room upon hearing the voice, and said to Leon with a dusty face, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'll upgrade the pickaxe." Leon took out the pickaxe from his backpack, and placed the copper ingots and iron ingots on the table. He also took out 7000G and handed it to Clint.

"Upgrade directly to steel."

"Well, no problem, but it will take some time. Come back and get it in five days." Clint put the money in his pocket without even looking at it, and then focused all his attention on the pickaxe that Leon took out.

"Five days? No problem." Leon didn't care about the upgrade time.

Because he didn't have a cold-proof suit, he couldn't go to the mine on the 51st floor for the time being. It just so happened that Ma Long needed to draw out the cold-proof suit for about the same amount of time. By the time the pickaxe was successfully upgraded, Ma Long would probably have got the cold-proof suit as well, and it would be just the right time to go down to the mine.

"Well, leave it to me. By the way, haven't you dug up any crystal balls recently? I haven't seen you here for a long time." Clint patted his chest and promised.

"Yes, but the quantity is not enough. We plan to collect them together and open them together." Lyon explained.

"In fact, you can now produce iron ingots, which proves that you have mined raw iron ore. Why not gather the materials I mentioned before, and I will build you a crystal ball breaking machine. You can put it on your own farm, and just a few pieces of coal can help you open the crystal ball for a whole day." Clint suggested again.

"You really don't want to make money." Hearing Clint recommending his crystal ball to break the machine again, Leon complained with a smile.

"My current daily turnover is enough. There is no point in making too much money, and I am not interested in money." Clint said Versailles words, but in Lyon's opinion, he was serious.

After all, Clint doesn't like going out very much, nor does he like to pursue a high-quality life. Apart from working in the blacksmith shop, he basically maintains the living standard of an ordinary person.

"Okay, then next time I gather all the materials I'll come to you to make a crystal ball breaking machine. Five pieces of refined quartz, ten iron ingots, 50 stones, two copper ingots and a battery, right?" Leon confirmed, recalling Clint's material requirements last time.

"Well, yes, that's all. I'll get you some other materials." Clint nodded.

"That's settled, but we still need to upgrade our pickaxe first. The previous one wasn't strong enough. After this upgrade, mining should be much smoother."

Leon shook hands with Clint, then said goodbye to him and left the blacksmith shop. Leon had nothing else to do this time, so he rode his bike straight to the Stardrop Salon. After parking his bike in front of the bar, Leon opened the door and walked in.

"Hi, Leon!" Gus was as enthusiastic as ever. The first time he saw Leon appear, he waved his arms to greet Leon.

"Gus, I didn't see you all day yesterday. Did you go out to play?" Leon walked up to Gus and sat down, asking.

"I went to pick up Sophia." Gus explained with a smile, "You have no idea how happy I was when I received a call from Sophia the night before last. She actually contacted me and said she wanted to go back to Stardew Valley, so I found someone to drive me to the suburbs of Grampton to pick her up that night."

"Sophia?" When Leon heard this name, he felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

After searching for a while in the memory palace in his mind, Leon finally remembered where he had heard this name.

If I remember correctly, it was the day before Easter when Abigail and I went to scout the area for the Easter egg treasure hunt. When we met at the cemetery, the topic was raised because of the tombstone of a couple who died young.

"Yes, Sophia, a poor little girl. Her parents died in an accident, and the child was left alone in this world. Her parents and I used to be best friends.

So I raised her as my own child after that, but she didn't seem to want to live in Stardew Valley, so she went to live in the suburb of Grampton where her best friend Scarlett lived. "

Seeing Leon's puzzled expression, Guts began to explain.

"So, she's the new farmer that Lewis and I were talking about?" Upon hearing this, Leon also had a preliminary understanding of the relationship between this girl named Sophia and Gus.

"Well, Sophia's parents used to be farmers in Stardew Valley. They ran a vineyard called Blue Moon Vineyard. Does it sound familiar?" Gus asked Leon.

"The Blue Moon wine?" Lyon asked immediately after hearing it.

“Yes, the Blue Moon Wine that I had always dreamed of was made by Sofia. I didn’t know it before and thought it was just a coincidence that the Blue Moon Wine had the same name.

Because when Robert and Alice were still there, they didn't run a wine business, they just grew grapes and provided them to various wineries as raw materials for brewing. Blue Moon Wine is a brand that Sophia created independently after that."

Gus's expression now showed a mixture of heartache and pride. "I never thought that the little crybaby girl would grow up to be such an important winemaker in the wine industry. I wonder how many difficulties and troubles she's encountered over the years."

"I see. No wonder I saw in the news that Blue Moon Wine suddenly announced a temporary suspension of production. It turns out the winemaker just moved." Lyon also remembered the news report he had seen before.

"So is she simply returning to Stardew Valley, or is she planning to reopen the grape plantation and Blue Moon Winery in Stardew Valley?"

"She is now going with Lewis and Robin to check out the former site of the Blue Moon Vineyard, planning to renovate the neglected old house and vineyard," Gus explained.

"I see."

　Wow, I was so busy yesterday. After lunch, I drove my old car to take my boss to run the procedures. If it weren't for that 500 gas card, I would have almost abandoned it halfway. But the gas card was so tempting, so I had to give less. Sorry.
