A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 353: Being young is good, just fall asleep
Seeing the girls disperse, Leon breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got through this punishment safely.

Then, just as Emily said, the group changed the place and came to Guts' Star Bar to start their second dinner of the day. Maybe because it was raining, there were not many people in Guts' bar, which made everyone feel more relaxed.

In particular, Abigail and Haley even ordered beer, but neither of them intended to get the other drunk, they just took a sip and stopped at one. Leon also drank a large glass, only Sophia drank the hot milk that Emily brought.

After eating and drinking, the girls started to leave, and Haley went back with Abigail.

Sophia was staying temporarily at Gus's place because the Blue Moon Vineyard was still under renovation. She only needed to stand up, take two steps, and push open the lattice door to enter the guest room in the living area at the back, so she stayed.

Emily started her working life after the dinner, but Leon didn't think that Emily was an employee. After all, apart from cashiering and taking orders, the most Emily did was to pick up wine and deliver orders to Gus.

Gus, the boss, is actually the busiest one. As long as someone orders food, he has to go into the kitchen and cook.

So Leon, who was not in a hurry to go back, came to the front desk and talked to Emily about this issue.

"Actually, I want to do more to help Gus, but he doesn't want me to. There's nothing I can do about it."

Facing Leon's doubts, Emily explained helplessly.

"How much does Nagus pay you every month?" Lyon asked.

"Well, I really didn't care. After all, the money was transferred directly to my bank card, and I didn't count it carefully because I didn't care about the salary. I came here to help Gus work, mainly to spend boring afternoons and evenings here. The tavern is very lively, and I like lively places."

After Emily finished explaining, she couldn't help but ask Leon.

"Does it feel strange that I have such a reason for working?"

"No, it feels quite normal. I can understand it." Leon comforted Emily with a smile. She was just getting started. Leon had seen rich second-generations who were even more bizarre than Emily.

He doesn't care about the company worth hundreds of millions of dollars at home. He rides a small electric scooter to run errands all day long, and especially likes to take orders after 10 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the errands that were taken were basically orders to go to hotels and bars, and the deliveries were basically various strategic supplies such as ammunition and small umbrellas.

Leon once asked him what he was after, and his answer was: "I just want to try my luck and see if I can catch someone cheating."

You see, the lives and pursuits of rich people are sometimes so simple and unpretentious, so Emily's reason seems much more normal compared to this old man.

"I always feel that you are different from others, Leon." Emily looked at Leon with some surprise when she heard it.

"A lot of people said I was crazy when they first found out I was working as a waitress here. Especially when my former schoolmates came to visit Stardew Valley, they said I was decadent."

"Not everyone can choose the life they like. As long as you are happy, that's enough. After all, life is not a stage play. There are not so many audiences, right?" Leon asked Emily with a smile.

"Very philosophical words, thank you Leon." Emily smiled when she heard it, and there was more kindness and recognition in her eyes when she looked at Leon.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something important. When does our dance training start?" Leon shrugged, without explaining that he had copied the sentence, and instead asked about the dance training issue that he had discussed with Emily during the day.

"I can do it anytime, as long as you have the time," Emily replied. "Because this kind of duet isn't that difficult. I think with your intelligence, you can master it in two hours at most."

"How about tomorrow afternoon? I'll come find you when I'm done. Or should we meet somewhere else?" Leon suggested. "Yeah, sure. Let's meet somewhere. How about under that big tree in the coal forest? No one will bother you, and the environment is great. I'll be waiting for you with a radio," Emily confirmed.

"Okay, let's meet at Coal Forest tomorrow afternoon. You continue working. I have to go back."

After agreeing on a time, Leon said goodbye to Emily and left the Stardrop Salon.

It was still raining outside. The rain in Stardew Valley seemed to never stop. As long as it rained, it would rain from morning to midnight.

Lyon, wearing a sailor cap, was not stopped by the rain from returning. However, riding a bike in the rain was like being imprisoned, so Lyon could only walk back obediently.

However, it is actually quite nice to walk in the pristine nature on a rainy day. You don’t need to worry about passing vehicles on the road, and you don’t need to avoid passers-by in a hurry. Lyon is the only traveler on the entire muddy road.

What he heard was the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the treetops, and what came to his nose was the fresh fragrance of grass, trees and soil. At this moment, Lyon felt his heart calmed to a very peaceful state.

At this moment, Lyon felt that all the plants around him were full of vitality and life, making Lyon have the illusion of breathing with the plants.

"You become one with nature again, and the magic of the forest is strengthened."

I don’t know how long I stayed in this state. When Leon came to his senses, he heard the system’s broadcast.

Seeing this, Leon quickly opened his panel and took a look at the description of forest magic in the special ability.

Forest Magic: You possess the magic of the forest, and nature treats you as its own child.
The description of forest magic had one more line of text than before, which was "Nature treats you as its own child", but Leon couldn't tell what specific effects or changes it had.

"System, can you explain?"

Lyon, who didn't know much about this, naturally had to ask about the system that issued the notification.

But the system did not respond to Lyon's intention at all, and Lyon did not ask any further questions. This was not the first time that he had encountered a system pretending to be dead, and Lyon was used to it.

If the system doesn't answer, Leon can still go find old man Linus. After all, the old man also possesses forest magic and should be able to detect his changes.

But it was late at night, and it would be unkind to disturb the old man at this time. Lyon thought it would be best to visit him tomorrow.

Although Linus should be quite disgusted with Leon now, Leon thinks that he is just saying one thing and doing another.

As long as you bring some delicious food over tomorrow morning, old man Linus should be able to help Leon solve his problem.

After thinking it through, Leon quickened his pace and returned to Red Star Farm. After taking a shower and waiting for his hair to dry naturally, he lay down directly.

"It's good to be young. You can fall asleep right away. It looks like you don't need to wait for him to come over."

After Lyon fell asleep, Linus, who was in front of his tent at the northern foothills, had an embarrassed expression on his face. After complaining about Lyon, he returned to the tent and lay down with a helpless look on his face.
