A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 370: Changes in the Sewers
Clint looked at Leon in confusion when he heard this, not understanding why Leon would say such a thing to him. However, after carefully thinking about the meaning of Leon's words, Clint felt that what Leon said did make sense.

"I'll remember that. Thank you, Leon. You know so much."

Thinking back on these words, Clint felt that what Leon said made a lot of sense, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Leon.

"It's okay, it's just a pleasure to help others." After listening to Clint's answer, Leon realized that his deception had actually made Clint believe it. He was suddenly at a loss, but fortunately he was thick-skinned and simply accepted the thank you.

In fact, it would be great if Clint really did business according to his own words.

Clint himself is not good at socializing or bargaining, and this personality trait is too easy for others to detect and exploit to defraud and lower the price of transactions with Clint.

If he really thought what Leon said and put it into practice, then these problems would no longer be a problem.

As for whether this would cause Clint to lose some customers, Lyon thought there was no need to worry at all, because Clint's craftsmanship was there, and real discerning customers would definitely tolerate the temper of a master forger, and might even think that Clint had such a temper because he was confident in his forging ability, which might even give Clint a better reputation.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Clint didn't know what Leon was thinking, but the two of them, one standing inside the house and the other standing outside, made him feel that he was being impolite, so he invited Leon into the house.

"Okay, but are you busy now?" Leon nodded, and then before he even entered the door, he felt the heat wave coming from the blacksmith shop. It was obviously much higher than the temperature outside, so he couldn't help but confirm.

"I'm busy. The Eastern Mine ordered a batch of new pickaxes from me, and I'm making them for them," Clint replied.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. You can continue with your work." Leon rejected Clint's invitation. "Sorry, I didn't know you were busy. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

"It's okay. A small delay will only mean working a little longer at night. It won't make any difference to me." This time it was Clint who comforted Leon.

But after hearing this, Leon felt even more ashamed, because his idle chat caused others to take time out of their schedule to cooperate with him, and ultimately forced them to work overtime. This was too unkind of him.

"No, you go ahead and do your own thing. I should go now. Really, let's go to the Stardrop to drink together next time. I'll treat you." Thinking of this, Leon hurriedly said to Clint.

Then, without waiting for Clint to answer, Leon waved goodbye to Clint, got on his bike and rode away.

"Oh, goodbye." Clint, who was a little slow to react, just finished saying this and noticed that Leon had already ridden his bike a long way away. So he could only stand there scratching his head awkwardly, then closed the door of the blacksmith shop and continued to work on orders from the eastern mines.

After leaving Clint's blacksmith shop, Leon didn't know where to go for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to go to the coal forest to pick some wild plants.

After all, a little bit of accumulation adds up to a lot, and it is not impossible to make money from these wild-collected plants, not to mention that you can also gain some experience points for wild-collecting levels. It is definitely one of the best choices when you are bored.

Moreover, the route Leon chose was not to go straight to the Coal Forest from Pelican Town, but to go around the sewer where Krobus was, because Leon had not looked for Krobus for a long time.

He walked around the cemetery and entered the fenced-off entrance to the sewer. He took out the rusty key, opened the big lock of the sewer, lifted the manhole cover, and climbed down the stairs.

When Leon's feet landed on the passage inside the sewer, he noticed that the surrounding environment had changed a lot compared to the last time he came.

The glowing moss on the sewer walls increased, and the pungent smell inside the sewers was diluted. Although there was still a whiff, it was not as strong as before. Of course, the most obvious thing was that there were more pillars that looked like street lamps in the passage. On top of them was a round object that emitted a soft glow. The glow it gave off was similar to moonlight, dispelling the darkness of the sewers.

"Leon, you're here. Do you need to buy anything?"

While Lyon was observing the changes nearby, Krobus appeared beside Lyon and asked him.

"I don't want to buy anything. I just feel like I haven't seen you for a long time, so I plan to chat with you." Leon looked at Krobus and explained.

"Is that so? That's really exciting." Krobus was visibly happy when he heard that.

"By the way, did you renovate the sewer?" Seeing Krobus's smiling face, Leon couldn't help laughing, and then asked Krobus about the changes in the sewer.

"Yeah, I don't know when you'll be back, but I made some modifications so you can feel more comfortable in the sewers."

Krobus explained.

"In addition to adding these moonstone street lamps, I also sealed the road leading to the mutant bug lair on the other side of the sewer. This will reduce the smell in the sewer. Those bugs always stink."

"I always thought that smell was the smell of the sewer." Lyon was quite surprised when he heard that.

"This sewer is not for discharging sewage. The water here is actually rainwater. It's just that because it is connected to the mutant insect lair, the slime and mud water in the mutant insect lair are mixed with the rainwater, which makes the water in the sewer turn green and smelly." Krobus explained again.

"I see. No wonder the water from the sewer outlet is discharged directly into the sea. I originally thought it was pollution discharge." Lyon felt relieved instantly after hearing this. If it was just rainwater, then discharging it into the sea would be understandable.

I just don't know if rainwater mixed with slime and muddy water can be considered a source of pollution.

"The residents of Pelican Town above us all cherish the environment of Stardew Valley. I am sure of this. The sewage pipe is on the other side of the town and leads to the sewage treatment plant outside Stardew Valley." Krobus explained to Leon.

"You seem to be very familiar with Stardew Valley. It seems that you have sneaked out to play many times over the years." Lyon couldn't help but teased Krobus when he heard it.

"I only go out late at night. The night is the best protection for me. I hate the sun, but I like the moon. The moonlight feels so comfortable on me. Stardew Valley is very interesting. I like everything here. It's much friendlier here than in Elemental City. I once met a homeless man who even greeted me politely when he saw me."

Speaking of this topic, Krobus told Leon about his experiences and mentality when traveling at night with a longing look on his face.

When Leon heard a homeless man greet Krobus, he almost couldn't hold back.

Because there is basically only one homeless person in Stardew Valley, Linus, and the shadow assassin who has returned to darkness should have the most say in his attitude towards the shadow man. After all, as the person involved, he was held in the water by Linus for a whole day.

　I'm starting to update rapidly. I'll give you three updates first, and the rest will come slowly. I took a day off today because I still have 1.2 words to go. It's obvious that I can't finish it if I slack off while working, so I might as well take a day off. Don't worry, I will definitely have the promised words.
