A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 418 So that’s it
Sophia was stunned by Leon's blunt proposal, but she also understood Leon's good intentions in wanting her to ignore this topic. It was just that her emotions were coming out, and it was not so easy to suppress them.

But she nodded and took Leon to the fish tank where the puppies were kept, which was located in the private craft room on the left side of the living room.

In the beautiful large glass fish tank, the ground is covered with fine sand and empty shells, and there are wisps of water plants as embellishment. There is only one puppy fish swimming in the water. It looks quite lonely, but it is very energetic. Moreover, the puppy fish swimming in the water really looks more like a puppy.

"It's very lively. It looks like you've taken good care of it."

Looking at the puppy fish in the tank, Leon praised Sophia.

"Well, actually it's very easy to take care of, and very friendly to people." Sophia nodded, then reached into the fish tank with familiarity. When the puppy fish noticed Sophia's hand entering the water, it immediately slid towards Sophia's hand with its strange limbs.

Then Sophia stroked the little fish with her hand, and the little fish's face showed an expression of enjoyment, like a puppy being stroked.

Sophia, who was stroking the puppy mermaid, felt that her sadness had eased a lot, which was a bit surprising to her. After all, in the past, when she was lost in memories, she would feel uncomfortable for a long time, and it usually took her a whole day to calm down.

"One fish is too lonely. I'll give you another one next time so they can form a pair." Leon said as he watched Sophia interact with the puppy fish.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Sophia actually had the same idea, but the puppy fish was too rare in the market, and she couldn't ask someone to buy a second one in a short time. Now with Leon's promise, she didn't need to worry about the life of the puppy fish in the fish tank.

"By the way, have you named it?" Seeing Sophia still stroking the little puppy fish, unable to let it go, Leon asked.

"Yes, it's called pudding." Sophia answered immediately.

"Pudding, that's a nice name. You're better at naming than me. I have a dog named Dahuang. Compared to Pudding, it's indeed a little less interesting." Leon couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Do you have a dog?" Sophia became interested instantly when she heard that.

"Well, I've only had it for two days. Although the little guy is still quite small, he is really smart. If you are interested, maybe I can bring him to meet you someday." Leon replied.

"Okay, I like puppies the best." Sophia immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Sophia's mood had obviously improved a lot, Leon also felt a lot more relaxed. Taking advantage of the fact that Sophia had temporarily forgotten about what happened before, Leon made a suggestion.

"By the way, I'm planning on checking out the tide pools on the beach. Do you want to come with me? I heard there's a ghost of an old sailor in that area. Maybe we can go investigate and see if it's true."

"I know this story. The ghost of an old sailor who wanders around on rainy days sells mermaid pendants to those who are ready to get married. If the person who gets the pendant proposes to their loved one and succeeds, their marriage will be blessed by the sea."

Sophia immediately took up the conversation upon hearing this, and then asked Leon based on the content of the story she had just retold.

"The story says that the old sailor ghost only appears on rainy days. Now that the weather is so nice outside, can we really see him appear?"

"How can we know if we don't go and see?" Leon actually knew that the old sailor ghost would not appear on a sunny day, but in order to prevent Sophia from continuing to fall into the emo state, he still made an invitation to Sophia.

Because he always felt that if he just left and left Sophia alone at home, some inevitable tragedy might happen. This feeling was very strange, but it made Leon extremely sure that this feeling was not groundless.

"it is good."

Sophia immediately agreed to Leon's invitation, then excitedly changed into a pair of shoes suitable for going out, locked the door, and left the manor with Leon.

Once they reached the beach, Sofia, led by Leon, reached the eastern edge. Before them lay a river flowing from the town into the sea. Standing at the edge, it was impossible to tell its depth, but Leon didn't dare venture in, given the turbulent current. "The tidal pool is over there. How do we get across? The bridge looks broken," Sofia asked Leon, pointing to the broken remains of a wooden bridge.

"Don't worry, let me take a look first." Lyon walked to the side of the wreckage of the wooden bridge and stretched out his hand to place it on the broken bridge head.

By interacting with it in the game, you will get a prompt asking whether you need to spend 300 wood to repair the wooden bridge.

But things are not so convenient in reality. Lyon put his hand on the bridge head and did not hear any prompts, which made Lyon feel that the 300 pieces of wood he brought with him were in vain.

"Can you repair the bridge like this?" Looking at Leon squatting on the ground with his hands stretched out on the broken bridge, Sophia asked Leon with some confusion.

"I just wanted to observe what the bridge looked like after it was broken." Leon answered awkwardly. He also felt that he was being stupid. It was not the first time he had seen the difference between games and reality. How could he be so obsessed with thinking that the bridge could be repaired automatically by carrying the wood?

"Young man, if you want to repair this bridge, bring me three hundred logs of wood and I will help you."

Lyon, who was about to stand up after retracting his hand, suddenly heard a hoarse voice in his ear. Judging from the voice, it was a voice that Lyon had never heard before, not belonging to Rasmodesmus or Linus.

Lyon wasn't sure if he was hallucinating, but it wasn't the first time he had seen the magic and uniqueness of Stardew Valley. Believing it was better to believe it than not, Lyon took out all 300 pieces of wood he had prepared in his backpack.

The wood that appeared out of nowhere piled up on the beach to form a small wooden hill.

Sophia covered her mouth and looked at Leon in surprise: "Wow, you actually brought so much wood! And you made it out of thin air, is this the ability given by your Star Fruit?"

What surprised Sophia even more was that after these timbers fell to the ground, they actually began to fly to the broken bridge head one by one, and began to form a brand new wooden bridge. From the bridge supports to the bridge outline and then to the bridge deck, all the timbers on the ground eventually became part of the construction of this new cross-river bridge.

"Leon, you must know magic, right? You must know magic!" Sophia asked excitedly while looking at Leon. She had this idea since yesterday when Leon took them to draw a lottery. After all, everyone got the prize they wanted. Apart from the fact that Leon and the Joja family were acting against each other, only magic could make this possible.

Now Leon has demonstrated his ability to create wood out of thin air and automatically repair bridges. Sophia is certain that Leon might be the kind of magician in comic books who hides in the human world and silently protects humans.

But Leon did not answer Sophia's question, because at this moment he heard the words conveyed by the old voice again.

"Well done, kid, but you're not ready to see me right now.

When you realize you are ready, meet me at the tide pool on a rainy day, and I will give you a blessing from the depths of the sea."

After hearing this, Leon finally understood who was helping him.

"So that's how it is! The self-repair in the game is actually done by an old sailor helping to repair the bridge in real life. No wonder when the game is repairing the bridge, all you hear is the clanging sound and the screen is black. So there's this hidden trick."

Leon complained silently, then looked at the new wooden bridge across the river in front of him and asked Sophia.

"We can go now. You go first and I go first?"

　In fact, the subsequent plot has been designed, but some brothers wanted to see Sofia, so this part was added temporarily. But it is not entirely for Sofia, it is also related to the main line. That’s all I have to say for now, see you next month.
