A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 360 Lewis's Commission
After sending Emily back to the villa at No. 2 Willow Lane, Leon turned around and prepared to return to the farm.

However, before going back, Lyon still planned to talk to Abigail. Since he already knew that he could not choose only one dance partner for the Flower Dance Festival, Lyon would naturally not let Abigail sit idle.

Although Abigail may not be as good at dancing as Emily, as long as they are happy together, Leon can even teach Abigail to be a rocker.

As soon as he arrived in front of Pierre's grocery store, Leon noticed Lewis standing in front of the bulletin board. At this moment, Lewis had changed from the vitality and calmness he had seen in the past. He looked sad and hesitant.

It was obvious that Lewis was in a bad mood, so Leon planned to pretend not to see it and leave Lewis some private space.

Unfortunately, Lyon pretended to be blind, but Lewis noticed Lyon's appearance with his sharp eyes and immediately greeted him.

"Hey, Leon, are you here to see if there are any commissions on the notice board?"

“No, I was just passing by and came to the grocery store to browse.” Seeing Lewis take the initiative to talk, Leon explained.

“Is that so?” Lewis said with a disappointed expression: “Then go and get busy.”

"Is there anything you need my help with?" Lyon asked curiously after seeing Lewis's expression change.

"Yes, but it's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud." Lewis's expression at the moment was very complicated, and his hesitation made Leon feel anxious for him.

"Since it's inconvenient, why don't we just stop talking?"

Although he was very curious about what Lewis was worried about, given Lewis's current situation, Lyon knew that if he didn't give him a little stimulation, he would probably continue to linger for a long time.

Sure enough, when Lewis heard that Leon was planning to run away and not to take care of his own business, he immediately became anxious. He hurriedly grabbed Leon's arm and pulled him into a remote box on the side. Then he explained with a flushed face.

"Look, I lost my favorite pair of purple shorts. They're very important to me, they're my lucky shorts, so I'm hesitant about whether to post a lost and found notice. But you know, they're shorts after all, personal belongings, and they're underwear, so I just can't bring myself to post a lost and found notice."

At this point, Lewis observed Leon's expression and found that Leon did not show any excessive surprise or mockery. He breathed a sigh of relief and added: "Well, can you help me find this pair of shorts? If you can find it, I will reward you handsomely."

In fact, when Leon heard Lewis mention the purple shorts, he knew why Lewis had this expression. Of course, he would not be surprised to hear this.

After all, anyone who has played Stardew Valley knows the presence of Lewis' purple shorts. Some people with bad tastes even use these shorts to do all kinds of tricks.

For example, at the Stardew Valley exhibition, instead of displaying high-quality crops and animal products, just putting a pair of shorts like this on the display case can get a hush money of 750 star coins from Lewis.

For example, you could use these shorts as a soup topper at a summer Hawaiian party and enjoy the governor's shocked face when he fishes them out and Lewis' furious expression.

For example, after finding it, give it to Ms. Marnie, the person who caused Lewis to lose the purple shorts, and enjoy her panic-stricken expression.

In short, it’s a lot of fun and the gameplay is very bizarre. It is one of the unforgettable highlights for Stardew Valley players.

However, even though he knew a lot about Lewis’s purple shorts, Leon still pretended to hear it for the first time and asked: “Are you sure you lost it? Not left in some hidden corner of the house when you were packing clothes?”

"I searched the house high and low but couldn't find it." Lewis shook his head, his eyes dodging as he said this. It was obvious that he was lying.

This surprised Leon. He thought Lewis must know where his purple shorts were lost, but he didn't dare to go get them. Leon, who had always been a gossip-teller, sensed something was up.

"Then do you remember when was the last time you saw this pair of purple shorts?" In order to find out the truth, Lyon began to talk to Lewis.

"It should have been a few days ago, I forgot the exact time." Lewis answered vaguely.

"Then where did you go?" Leon smiled and continued to ask.

“I forgot about that too.” Lewis’ face turned pale when he heard this, and he continued to speak perfunctorily to Leon.

"Lewis, it's difficult for me to help you like this." Leon felt helpless when he saw that Lewis still wanted to hide something. Since he didn't want to tell him anything, why did he drag him to help? Isn't this a self-contradiction?

"Um, I know this is going to be difficult for you, Leon, but I really forgot. But if you really want to help me, maybe I think you should go to Marnie's place."

Lewis's face turned blue and red when he heard this, and he finally gritted his teeth and whispered to Leon.

"Oh? Mani's side?" Leon couldn't help but repeat with a smile on his face.

"I just thought Marnie should know. After all, we have a good relationship. Occasionally, Marnie will help me with some housework. You know, I need to pay attention to the affairs of the entire town by myself, and I basically don't have much time to do things like cleaning." Lewis explained with a straight face.

"Okay, then I'll go ask Marnie." Leon nodded, agreeing to the commission, and then left the alley with Lewis.

"Leon, I hope you can keep a low profile when you're looking for it. If you can avoid letting a third person know about it, then don't let a third person know about it, okay?" After leaving the alley, Lewis still felt a little worried and warned Leon.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do it.” Lyon comforted Lewis with a smile.

Lewis then breathed a sigh of relief, waved to Leon, and quickly left the vicinity.

As for Lewis's request to find the shorts, Lyon was not in a hurry. Anyway, the shorts were in Marnie's room, and it would be the same no matter when to get them. It would be better to go find Abigail first.

When Leon pushed the door open and entered Pierre's grocery store, he saw Pierre spinning a pen boredly at the front desk. When Pierre saw Leon, he instantly became energetic.

"Oh, Leon! Are you here to buy seeds or to see Abigail?"

"I'm here to find Abigail." Leon answered directly, because he couldn't just push open the door and go into Pierre's living area like in the game. If he did that, Leon was worried that Pierre would call the police.

"That's unfortunate. She went out this afternoon. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait for her here. She should be back before dinner, and then you can have dinner with us." Pierre suggested.

"Um, that's not necessary. Ms. Caroline was already busy for a long time yesterday, so I won't bother her any more."

Since Abigail was not there, Leon did not plan to stay any longer. There was still a month before the Flower Dance Festival anyway, so he could notify Abigail at any time. It wouldn't matter if he waited a little longer.

"Okay, then I won't keep you." Pierre didn't try to keep Leon. After watching Leon leave the grocery store, he continued to play with the pen in his hand.
