A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 441 Manipulating Desire
Then Leon put his arm in front of his nose and sniffed it, but he didn't smell any strange smell, like heather.

"System, can you give me an explanation?"

I tried to ask the system for a detailed explanation of the ability entry of this unique charm, but the system still didn't like to talk.

After reading these two abilities several times, Leon still couldn't dig out anything deeper from this simple description, and finally had to close his personal panel with regret.

After crossing the Seagull Bridge, there is the big iron gate of the eastern mining area. This time, Lyon no longer needs to climb over the wall to enter. He walked to the outside of the iron gate and shouted.

"Open the door. I want to go in and see my buddy's new business."

"Mr. Lyon, please." The security guard who intercepted Lyon last time opened the iron gate for Lyon with a smile on his face and greeted him politely.

"Are you part of the Joja Group, or are you a hired employee?" Leon asked casually, looking at the burly security guard.

"A formal employee of the Joja Group Security Department." The security guard replied.

"Oh." After hearing this, Leon lost interest in the security guard. If this guy was hired, maybe he could try to retain him. After all, such a large area requires someone to help guard it.

It’s not that they are afraid that someone will go in and steal the minerals, but they are afraid that the thieves will get killed in the mine. After all, the conditions in the mine are not very good. If they are not fully prepared, it is easy for something to happen in the dark mountain.

"Do you know where those miners are now?" Although he lost the option of a potential employee, since the other party was a member of the Joja family, he should be very clear about the current situation in the mining area.

"In the dormitory area. After all, this place belongs to you now, so mining has ceased and preparations have begun to evacuate this private territory. We will ensure that all handover arrangements are completed within the three days required by law."

The security guard explained to Leon in a very professional manner.

"Your professional quality is very high." Lyon joked to the security guard when he heard it.

"After all, we are the first line of defense for the Joja Group's industry." The security guard replied with a smile.

"Thanks. I'll go see someone I know. I'll leave soon and won't rush you." Lyon waved his hand and stopped chatting with the security guard. He hurried towards the wooden miners' dormitory not far away.

It was not until he arrived near the dormitory area that Leon realized how exaggerated the number of miners in this mining area was. Except for some who were still packing up in the house, there were more than fifty miners standing in the open space outside the dormitory area, carrying bags and dragging luggage. This group of people were not in a hurry to leave, as if they were waiting for something.

Among this group of people, Leon saw Joe and Jimmy at a glance.

"Hi, Jimmy, where are you going?" Leon walked up and greeted Jimmy.

"Hi, Mr. Lyon, hello. I didn't expect that you are the owner of this mining area. When I brought you up, I was worried that you would be taken away by the security." Jimmy saw Lyon and immediately smiled. At the same time, he pushed the honest Joe next to him.

"Joe, meet me, this is the explorer who saved you, Mr. Lyon."

"Although I have no memory of what happened before, Jimmy told me that I was in a very dangerous situation, so I still want to thank you for your help, Mr. Lyon."

Although Joe was a little shy, he still bowed respectfully to Leon and expressed his gratitude.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart. I just went with the flow." Lyon hurriedly helped Joe up. He didn't dare to take the credit for this. After all, Joe's recovery was due to Lasmodes's action. However, these two people should not have been able to detect Lasmodes's action and arrival, so they attributed the credit to Lyon.

"Mr. Lyon, how about we go to the dormitory?" Jimmy quickly suggested after noticing the looks from other workers.

"Okay." Seeing that Jimmy seemed to want to talk to him alone about something, Leon did not refuse.

Then Jimmy took Joe in front to lead the way, guiding Leon into one of the wooden houses in the dormitory area.

There is not much space inside the house, a little smaller than Lyon's cabin, but it has two bunk beds, a small coffee table and four small benches. There are also many empty hooks on the wall of the cabin, which should be used to hang clothes and towels.

The air in the house was not very good either. There was a musty smell and the lingering smell of footsteps, but the windows were wide open, so it wasn't that pungent.

"I'm sorry, the environment is a bit simple, but the room is quite private and no one else will disturb us."

After Jimmy closed the door, he took out an uncut diamond from his pocket and handed it to Leon.

"Now that the mine is yours, this diamond should belong to you as well. Please keep it."

If Leon remembered correctly, this piece should be the one that was searched from Joe.

Facing Jimmy's action, Leon waved his hand: "You keep it. I overheard your conversation earlier, and it seems that you are going to propose to your girlfriend. This diamond can be cut into a ring of the right size. It would be a good place to propose."

It's just a diamond, Lyon doesn't care at all now. After all, he is a big landlord now, although he hasn't figured out a way to cash it out yet.

Although Jimmy was a little tempted, he still wanted to give the diamond to Leon. After all, Leon saved him and helped Joe, and this was a huge favor.

He was just an ordinary miner, and so was Joe. They had no ability or financial resources to express their gratitude to Leon. This unexpected diamond was already the most precious thing he could get in a short period of time, not to mention that this diamond belonged to Leon in many ways.

"No need, this diamond originally belonged to you, Mr. Lyon, so don't joke with me."

"Since it belongs to me, then what I do with it is my business, so I'm giving it to you as a blessing for your future wedding." Leon waved his hand without even looking at Jimmy. He was more concerned about the emotional fluctuation he had just noticed.

This emotion came from Jimmy. Although it felt vague, it was probably related to greed. It was not too strong, and it seemed to be Jimmy's desire for diamonds.

After saying this, Leon followed a novel instinct, watched this desire, and magnified it. Then Leon saw Jimmy swallow his saliva and finally accepted the diamond.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Leon. I will convey your blessings to my girlfriend. If Mr. Leon is not busy at the time of the wedding, I also hope you can attend."

Jimmy was still a little embarrassed after receiving the diamond. He thanked Leon again and also invited him to the wedding.

Leon nodded without saying anything, his attention completely focused on the ability to control desires. After Jimmy accepted the diamond and satisfied his desire, he could no longer sense the greed.

"So that's the effect. If I suppress it instead of amplifying it, then Jimmy will definitely refuse to accept the diamond."
