A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 330 Thank You Diver

Watching Abigail start to operate step by step under his command, Leon focused his attention on the fishing float floating on the water.

As soon as the float moved, he would remind Abigail to lift the rod, giving her first fishing trip a good start.

Unfortunately, things didn't seem to go smoothly this time. The two stood on the shore and waited for more than ten minutes, but didn't see any movement of the fishing float. This made Abigail, who had a lively personality, a little impatient, and Leon was also confused.

After all, according to common sense, after such a long time, even if no fish is hooked, there should be fish trying to swallow the red worms on the hook, causing the float to move slightly, and it would not just lie on the water surface without any reaction.

So Leon took the fishing rod from Abigail's hand and wanted to lift it up to see the condition of the red worm bait on the hook, but when he lifted it up, he found that something seemed to be caught on the hook.

"Did you catch a fish?" Abigail asked hurriedly as she saw the fishing line become taut the moment Leon lifted the fishing rod.

"No, it must have gotten caught on something." Lyon shook his head, then tried to reel in the line. He felt some obstruction, but it was still quite easy to drag. It must have gotten caught on some not-too-heavy submersible object.

As the fishing line became shorter and shorter, the thing hanging on the end of the hook slowly surfaced. Strangely, the further this thing left the water, the heavier it felt when Leon dragged it.

But it was not too outrageous after all. Compared with those big fish that were meters long, the weight of this thing was much lighter, and it did not struggle. Apart from spending some effort, Lyon basically did not have to consider the operations such as reeling in and releasing the line and playing with the fish, which consumed physical energy.

Abigail was now squatting by the lake, looking impatiently at what the thing caught in the water was.

As Leon continued to reel in the line, Abigail finally saw what was hanging on the hook.

It was a small box that looked quite new. Most importantly, there were some fancy-looking patterns on it.

"Leon! We caught a treasure!" After seeing the condition of the box clearly, Abigail ran to Leon to share her experience.

"I saw it." Leon's facial expression was very complicated at this moment.
This box had obviously just sunk into the water, otherwise there would not be even a trace of corrosion. Moreover, Leon could be sure that this box was hung there on purpose.

Because of the fancy patterns on the box, Leon was very familiar with it.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the pattern on the door of the Rasmodesmage Tower. Lyon doesn't know what its specific function is.

But when Leon saw the pattern, he understood that this box was deliberately hung on the fishhook by Rasmodes.

Obviously, this petty wizard wanted to use activities like fishing to give Abigail what he wanted to give her as an "unexpected surprise".

The patterns on this box are obviously Rasmodesm’s hint to Leon, and the general meaning is.

"This is mine, but it's not for you. I think you should know what to do with it."

"Hurry, hurry, open it and see what's inside."

As soon as Leon dragged the treasure chest ashore, Abigail immediately ran over, picked it up and brought it to Leon. It was obvious that Abigail liked this surprise very much, otherwise she would not have ignored the mud and water stains on the treasure chest and took it with her bare hands.

"You open it. After all, you cast the hook and caught it, so it's yours now." Leon said to Abigail, not wanting to get involved with the 'gift' Rasmodes had prepared for her. "Okay, but the rod is yours. I'll give you half of whatever's inside." Abigail didn't hesitate, but she still made a promise to Leon.

Following Abigail's promise, Leon clearly noticed that the magic patterns on the box lit up slightly, and then calmed down. What was even more interesting was what Abigail said next.

"Hey? Why do I feel like this box has become heavier? Is it my illusion?"

"Open it and see what's inside." At this moment, Leon really didn't know whether to complain about Rasmodesmadis's attentiveness or thank Abigail for her generosity.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Leon knew that no matter what was in the box, it should have been divided into two parts instead of one.

After placing the treasure chest on the grass, Abigail fumbled around and found the lock on the box. However, the lock was not locked, there was only a latch. She only needed to pull out the latch to open the box.

The contents of the box were revealed after Abigail opened it.

"Wow! It's a colorful fragment! I was wondering where to get this thing, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to get."

Abigail's surprised cry made Leon cover his face, because he knew too much and was afraid that he would burst out laughing if he didn't cover his face.

In the sunlight, the two colorful fragments lying quietly in the box reflected a rainbow-like halo, which was very eye-catching.

"That's good, there are exactly two. We can split them equally, one each." Abigail picked up the two colorful fragments from the box, holding one in each hand, with a bright smile on her face.

"In that case, does this mean I can go to Yuba's forge in the desert and create a divine weapon of my own?"

"Theoretically, there's no problem, but whether you can build it depends on your hard work." Lyon thought of what Malone had told him about some potential conditions for obtaining galactic weapons, and passed it on to Abigail.

"Why? Can't we just take the colorful fragments and forge our own weapons?" Abigail asked in confusion.

"It depends on your qualifications. People without qualifications, or people without potential, won't be able to shape them into the weapon that best suits them even if they have a cart full of colorful fragments," Leon reminded.

"No problem, just give it a try. There's nothing to lose anyway. Even if I can't get it, this colorful fragment is still very valuable. I can make it into an ornament and place it by my bed. Then I can shine a lamp on it. The light it emits at night will definitely look super beautiful."

Abigail didn't care about this problem, and had even thought of a solution for dealing with the colorful fragments after the forging failed.

After saying that, Abigail stretched out her left hand, handed it to Leon and said, "We agreed on half for each of us. This one belongs to you."

"Then I won't be polite." Leon said, took the colorful fragments and put them into his backpack.

In this way, even if I only have one seventh of the seven colorful fragments to upgrade my 36-slot backpack, it can be considered a pleasant surprise.

This was all thanks to Abigail's kindness. If Abigail hadn't mentioned dividing it equally, Lyon estimated that there might only be one colorful fragment prepared for Abigail in the box.
