A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 317 The Contradictory Girl

This answer also made Leon understand why he didn’t see Lewis after he came in. It turned out that he was accompanying the girl named Sophia to the farm.

This part inexplicably reminded Leon of the day when he first came to Stardew Valley. It was Lewis who guided him to find the way, while Robin was responsible for renovating the house on the farm.

But compared to myself, Sophia is a native of Stardew Valley, so she should be much more calm than I was at the beginning.

"Several people are having lunch at noon. Do you want me to help with the cooking?" He looked at his watch and it was only half past ten. There was still some time before lunch, so Leon suggested to Gus.

"It's just you and me, Sophia, along with Robin and Lewis. No need to help. I'm almost ready," Gus explained.

"Originally, Lewis and I planned to hold a large welcome party for Sophia, but she refused, so this time there were only five of us at the dinner."

"I can understand that Lewis and Robin were invited, but why am I invited too? Are you guys acting on your own initiative?" Lyon couldn't help but ask when he heard that.

After all, listening to Gus's description, this Sophia didn't seem to be a girl who liked lively socializing. Lewis was the mayor, and Robin was helping her renovate the old vineyard. She could accept having dinner with them, but it was a bit too abrupt for a complete stranger like him to attend this small gathering.

"This is really not what we asked for. Even Lewis respects Sophia's opinion. It was Sophia who took the initiative to invite you. She wanted to meet you, another farmer in Stardew Valley." Gus quickly added.

"Huh?" Leon was even more confused after hearing this. They had never met before, so why did that girl named Sophia want to see him? How did she know about him?

Thinking of this, Leon suddenly looked at Gus and complained: "Gus, you were talking about me on the way to pick her up, weren't you?"

There was no way Lyon could help but be suspicious. After all, Guts was also a member of the marriage-urging alliance, and as a good guy and Lyon's good friend, this kind of thing was definitely something Guts could do.

"Well, it's partly my fault, but the main reason is that she read the interview with you in the newspaper." Gus replied with an awkward smile.

"Interview? That's it?" Lyon was stunned for a moment, recalling the questions he answered in the interview. If the reporter had not exaggerated his words or made no fuss, it would definitely be a formulaic standard answer, which should not have brought any negative impact on Lyon.

"Yeah, have you forgotten what you said?"

Gus nodded, then repeated, “I don’t consider Blue Moon Farms wines to be competitors because I don’t consider making wine.”

"Yes, I'm telling the truth. I won't compete with Blue Moon Wine, which already has a mature market, fixed consumers and strong reputation, because it's a thankless task. So I will avoid it and choose other wines to develop my own market. Is there anything wrong with this statement?" Lyon asked in confusion.

"That's how you understand it, and I understand it too, but Sofia doesn't. She thinks you look down on her wine and this industry, so she plans to have a good talk with you about this issue." Gus's expression at this moment was very wonderful.

"This may be the first step for you to get to know each other. I hope that your first encounter will allow you to understand each other better."

"." Lyon fell silent after hearing this.

Because he really didn't expect that someone would misunderstand this answer. He wondered whether this person had a problem with understanding or was too competitive.

Leon hadn't expected that such an answer could bring him trouble. "It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll repeat what I said to her, and she should understand."

However, Lyon didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, it was just a misunderstanding, and there would be no problem if he talked it out.

"Maybe." Gus continued to smile, but this smile always looked weird.

"You take a rest for a while. I'm going to the kitchen to work. They should be back soon. I want to make sure you can have hot meals as soon as possible." Gus said goodbye to Leon and went into the kitchen.

Leon went around to the east side of the hall, entered the game room of the Stardrop Salon, and started playing games.

Leon had actually noticed this place a long time ago. After all, it was right next to the hall and there was no door to hide it. He could see the pool table and arcade machine inside at a glance.

It’s just that Lyon never had the chance to try it before. Now that he has nothing to do, he naturally wants to try these arcade games to kill time.

There were several games in the arcade, but most of them were quite boring, even torturous, such as the infamous Junimo Kart. So out of concern for his mental health, Leon chose the simpler Prairie King Adventure.

This is a popular IP in this world. It exists in games, novels, peripherals, and even TV series. The TV series that Leon is following recently is also the story of cowboys on this prairie island.

So when playing this game, Leon can also find some scene layouts and long story explanation animations that are similar to the plot of the TV series.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of the difficulty of the game or because Leon is not very good at it. I tried twice but was stuck at the third level, the first small level, and couldn’t make any progress.

"You're not very good." Just when Leon was about to try for the third time, a clear girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"If you can do it, come on?" In fact, Leon had already noticed that there was someone behind him watching him play the game, but there were too many monsters at that time and he had no time to look back. Now that the game was over and the other party started to taunt him, could Leon tolerate her?

"I'll do it." The girl walked to Leon, pushed him aside, occupied the joystick and buttons of the P1 player, and then inserted a coin to continue Leon's current level.

At this moment, Leon also had time to observe the girl who had been watching him play for a long time from behind.

She has pink shoulder-length hair casually draped over her head, her skin is fair, tender and delicate, with almost no visible pores, and her oval face has a little bit of baby fat, giving her a strong girlish look.

It was a new person he had never seen before. Considering today's situation, Leon guessed that this should be the girl named Sophia that Guts mentioned.

She was indeed a beautiful girl, but Leon always felt that this girl had a very contradictory temperament, energetic yet somewhat decadent. Just by looking at her profile, he could notice that this girl did not seem to be in a good mood.

Even though she was wantonly slaughtering the monsters that had caused her a lot of trouble in the game, there was still no trace of pride or smile on her face. She was as calm as a programmed machine, without any spirituality.
