A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 412 Steel Pickaxe

But in the end, Leon entrusted Dawang to Emily, along with Dawang's dog bowl and dog food.

After Leon left, Emily happily carried Dahuang into the house, and happened to meet Haley who was about to go out. When she saw the puppy in Emily's hands, although she was happy in her heart, Haley still spoke.

"Emily, if you were planning on getting a dog, why didn't you tell me?"

"No, this dog belongs to Leon. He was worried that the dog was too small and it would be unsafe to leave it alone on the farm, so he asked me to help take care of it." Emily explained.

"Oh." Haley didn't say anything more after hearing that. Although she really wanted to go up and rub this soft and cute furry ball, the words she just said made her too embarrassed to lower her face to touch this cute little guy.

And Dawang obviously noticed this, and he scratched Emily and barked twice. Emily thought for a moment before she understood what Dawang meant and put him on the ground. The moment Dawang landed on the ground, he went to Haley's feet and rubbed her thighs.

This scene made Haley fall in love with her immediately. She squatted down to comfort this dear little guy.

If someone could see Dahuang's eyes at this moment, they would understand how helpless this guy was. Unfortunately, Emily and Haley's eyes were basically focused on his round and furry body.

Really greedy body.

On the other side, Leon, who had settled Dahuang, went straight to Clint's blacksmith shop. After knocking on the door, he saw Clint's heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"You didn't sleep last night?" Leon asked in surprise, looking at Clint's tired look.

"Well, we were rushing to finish the work last night. Suddenly, an urgent order came in from the eastern mine, offering triple the price for high-hardness pickaxes." Clint said, leading Leon in.

"I thought you forgot your pickaxe was still with me. If you hadn't come today, I would have sent it to you by mail. Come and see if your new pickaxe is good enough for you."

Once Leon entered the house, Clint went around to the shelf behind the cash register and pulled out Leon's pickaxe from a padded box.

“Steel Pickaxe (Tool): Incorporating elements of copper and iron, it becomes stronger and sharper, making your mining journey easier.”

In addition to the different descriptions, Leon also noticed that the overall color of the pickaxe changed from the original grayish white to a silver-black with a cool tone. At the same time, it felt heavier than the previous ordinary pickaxe, and the sides of the pickaxe head became sharper.

"Not bad, very comfortable." After playing with the steel pickaxe for a while, Lyon nodded with satisfaction.

"Nice workmanship, Clint. Thanks for your help, but you still need to rest when you need to. If your health is broken, it's meaningless to make a lot of money."

"It's okay, it's just a special situation, and the mining area in the east is indeed very anxious." Clint forced a smile, as if to comfort Leon that he was fine, and then Clint ran to pour a cup of coffee and handed it to Leon in a paper cup.

"I asked someone to bring some top-quality coffee beans from Prairie Island. Want to try some?"

"Thanks, but I don't like coffee, so I don't need it. You should drink less too. Caffeine is refreshing, but it won't eliminate fatigue. It's similar to the effect of stimulants." Leon declined Clint's offer and reminded him again. "Yeah." Clint nodded to show that he heard it. Although he didn't say much, Clint remembered Leon's concern. It had been a long time since anyone had paid such attention to his health as Leon did.

"Then I won't disturb you anymore. Go to bed early after you're done. I'll leave first." Leon waved at Clint, then left the blacksmith shop. Before leaving, he helped Clint close the door, then rode his bicycle and left the area.

Originally, Leon planned to take the road from Joja's supermarket to the northern foothills, but he remembered that he had gotten a lot of loot from Joja's yesterday, so Leon changed the route and took a small detour.

It wasn't because he was afraid or ashamed, he simply didn't want to see Morris's mercenary face. Yesterday's incident showed Leon's attitude towards the Joja family.

Lyon also knew that Morris would probably no longer greet him with a smile as before.

After passing through Pelican Town, passing the community center, and following the steep slope to the northern foothills, Leon went straight to the mine along the mountain lake, took the elevator to the 45th floor underground, took out the permafrost boots from his bag, put them on, and went down to the 46th floor along the stairwell.

The cold air instantly gave Lyon goose bumps. Fortunately, the warmth provided by the permafrost boots made Lyon feel less uncomfortable. Moreover, the temperature on the 46th floor was higher than that on the 50th floor. Even if he was wearing thin clothes, he could still withstand it with his body.

The main reason why Lyon came here was to try out the effect of the steel pickaxe. After all, it cost a lot of money to upgrade this pickaxe, so Lyon had to inspect the product, right?
With the pickaxe raised and swung, the sharp pickaxe head easily pierced through the hard stone shell and went straight into the core. The frozen stone began to break under the blow, and an ordinary frozen rock was easily shattered.

It is indeed much more powerful than the ordinary pickaxe before. Before, Leon had to hit this kind of stone two or three times, and the recoil force from the frozen rock that was frozen hard every time made Leon's palms suffer a lot. Now, after this sharper pickaxe head was chiseled into the frozen rock, he could not feel any recoil at all.

"Not bad."

Looking at the steel pickaxe in his hand, Lyon was very satisfied. With this weapon, as long as the problem of keeping warm was solved, there would be basically no obstacles for Lyon above the 80th floor.

After testing the strength of the steel pickaxe, Leon left the mine. On the one hand, he did not check his fortune today and was not sure about his luck today.

On the other hand, he didn't wear antifreeze clothing. Lyon didn't want to spend a lot of time looking for the stairs and holes leading to the next level in such a cold mine. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It won't be too late to go down the mine until everything is ready.

After leaving the mine, Leon was not in a hurry to go back. He took the opportunity to visit Linus. He found that the old man was not on the mountain. There was no one in the tent or nearby. Judging from the campfire, it seemed that the old man had not lit a fire since last night.

"Going out again?"

After taking a quick look around, Leon found that there was indeed no trace of Linus, so he could only leave with regret.

However, Lyon was not in a hurry to go back to pick up Dahuang. Instead, he went around to the remote forest and started cutting wood. Because in order to build a wooden house and upgrade the house, wood is an indispensable material that must be prepared sooner or later.

　I have a cold and feel terrible. I'm going to be lazy today and only update twice. After get off work, I'll go to the hospital for an IV drip and I should be fine.

　　Brothers and sisters, you can use the air conditioner, but don’t be too greedy for coolness, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable if you catch a cold.
