A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 318 This is not the Gus I know!
Watching the girl skillfully dodge the monsters that were surging on her, manipulating her character to take advantage of the gaps to dodge and eliminate them, Leon couldn't help but sigh that this girl named Sophia had a great talent for gaming.

Of course, it is also possible that Sophia has completed this game countless times. After all, judging from her skillful dodging and use of props, she is obviously a veteran.

"How long have you been playing this game? You're stuck at the third level?" As if she had noticed Leon's admiring gaze, Sophia couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, but she immediately suppressed it and asked Leon nonchalantly.

"It's my first time playing the game, and the monster pile-up in the later stages is a bit serious. I can't really adapt to it." Leon replied.

"First time?" Sophia was surprised when she heard this, so she didn't dodge in time and was hit by a small monster, losing her life.

"Well, I was busy with other things before, so I didn't have much time to play games. Today, I happened to be waiting for you and Lewis to come back. I was bored, so I tried this game for the first time." Leon explained.

"Don't you like playing games?" Sophia asked back.

"I like it, but most of the games are not to my taste." Leon answered truthfully. After all, he used to be a game fanatic. The more than 400 games on Steam are no joke, and they are not free games. Basically, he ordered them because he liked them.

But in this world, computers are a new technology that has just started to emerge. It is basically impossible to play 3A games with high graphics and good plots on such computers, so Leon is not interested in games in this world.

"It's because I'm not good at playing, so I feel that the game doesn't suit my taste." Sophia complained after hearing what Leon said.

"That's true." Leon looked at Sophia helplessly. He was sure that this girl was really aggressive.

"Can we play two-player mode together? Let me see your strength." Sophia made way a little and signaled Leon to insert a coin and join P2 to play together.

Lyon didn't hesitate, since he was free anyway, he immediately put in a coin and joined in. Perhaps because of the relationship between the two of them, with someone to cover him, Lyon had a much better time playing this time.

While Sophia was paying attention to her own character, she was also observing Leon's operations. To be fair, Leon's reaction and handling of the large-scale monster siege were very good. He didn't look like a novice at all, which made her even more unconvinced that this was Leon's first time playing this game.

After playing for a while, Sophia complained to Leon: "You should save the wheel props for when large-scale monsters appear. Don't just pick them up and use them."

"Ah, if you don't need it, won't it be a waste if the other items are dropped later?" Leon complained to Sophia in confusion. After all, a character can only carry one item at a time.

"Uh" Sophia was silenced by Leon's answer. At this moment, she felt that Leon might really be a novice.

This argument was further proven later when Leon, this guy, didn't even know how to upgrade his weapons.

Fortunately, Sophia was very familiar with the game, and although Leon's understanding of the game was a little lacking, his hand skills and awareness were good. He relied on his reaction and micro-manipulation to escape danger from monster encirclements many times.

In addition to paying attention to the safety of his own character, Leon would occasionally help Sophia, who was surrounded, to clear a safe passage, which greatly reduced Sophia's pressure.

"This guy is not bad."

After glancing at Leon's profile, Sophia's perception of Leon changed a little.

"It's time to eat, Sophia, Leon, stop playing." After successfully passing the boss at the end of the third level, Guts' voice appeared in their ears.

Leon immediately loosened his hands and said, "Let's stop here." "Huh? Don't you want to continue? We can pass the level in half an hour at most." Sophia was obviously addicted to the game. Looking at the scene that had entered the fourth level, she couldn't help but remind Leon.

"You can play games anytime, why do you have to rush? You can just continue after dinner. Isn't there a pause button?" Leon said to Sophia.

"Okay." Sophia also realized the current situation at this moment. It was not the time for her to be alone. Lewis Robin and Gus were waiting for her to eat. She immediately followed Leon's advice and paused the game. Then she did not forget to remind Leon.

"Remember to continue after dinner. Our scores are very high this time. If nothing goes wrong, we might be on the leaderboard of this machine."

"Yeah, yeah." Leon nodded to comfort the girl, then walked towards the hall.

Sophia followed closely behind, but her expression, which had been relaxed, became calm again.

In the hall, Lewis Robbins had already taken his seat and had placed a variety of delicious food on the table.

The seats the three of them reserved for Leon and Sophia were adjacent to each other, and it was not known whether it was intentional or a coincidence.

Seeing this, Leon said, “How about switching with me, Robin, and you sit with Robin?”

"No, let's just leave it like this. I don't dislike you." Sophia shook her head and replied to Leon.

"Uh" Leon was stunned by Sophia's words, but fortunately he was broad-minded, so he didn't bother with Sophia. He sat down calmly and ignored Sophia.

But Sophia did not dislike Leon as she said, and sat down next to Leon. However, after sitting down, she consciously moved the chair so that she could keep a certain distance from Leon.

Leon noticed this, but he just noticed it and didn't find it strange.

On the contrary, he quite admired Sophia's behavior and felt that it was the modesty of a normal girl.

Unlike Abigail, the female 'robber', who dared to get close to Leon and eat and drink for free when they first met, without any sense of boundaries. However, it was precisely for this reason that Leon felt very relaxed when getting along with her. The difference in their personalities can only be said to be that each has its own merits.

Without paying attention to Sophia, Leon could only focus on the dishes on the table.

To his surprise, in addition to Gus's specialty fish and vegetable dishes, he actually saw that the staple food assigned to each person was a combination of rice and chicken.

This did not match Lyon's impression of Guts. He had never seen Guts cook chicken, duck, pork, beef, mutton, etc. in his memory, and Guts also said that he did not like to use these ingredients.

But now Guts actually made a chicken-related dish, which is very wrong.

"This Guts is not the Guts I know, definitely not!" Leon couldn't help but complain in his heart.
