A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 460 People are worse than dogs
Seeing that Dahuang was in such a mess, Leon had to help it divert Sophia's attention.

Leon took out the second treasure map hidden under the first treasure from his backpack and spread it on the table. Sure enough, the appearance of this new treasure map attracted Sophia's attention.

"Is this the second treasure map? Hey, it doesn't feel like a map at all, but a painting."

Sophia said as she looked at the picture made up of various colors of oil paint on the treasure map.

"Who knows? Maybe the difficulty has increased." Leon complained after seeing this thing that could barely be called a treasure map.

"So what do you see on it?" Sophia asked.

"I saw street graffiti art." Leon answered seriously. After all, he didn't find anything special about it. Let alone the picture, even if you said that this treasure map was the masterpiece of a child who knocked over a palette and then scribbled on it casually with his hands, Leon would believe it.

Perhaps this is a masterpiece in the eyes of people who understand art, but in the observation of Lyon, a rough guy, this thing is no different from street graffiti.

"I don't see any hints. Am I blocked by some mysterious power again?" Sophia continued to look at the treasure map, muttering somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Qi, do you really not want me to see these hints?"

"It has nothing to do with you. I didn't see any hint, or rather, there was no such thing as a hint on this picture." Leon complained to Sophia.

"Are you calling him Mr. Qi now? Didn't you say you wanted to teach him a lesson before?"

"I didn't know he had prepared such a special treasure."

Sophia was a little embarrassed at the moment. After all, before she discovered the Resurrection Stone, the treasure that would allow her to see her parents again, she had a strong objection to Mr. Qi using his past tragedy as the location to hide the treasure.

But what about now? Sophia couldn't say a single bad word about Mr. Qi. After all, the things he gave her were really useful. It was like hitting the snake at its weakest point, poking Sophia's soft spot.

"Judging from the nature of the first treasure map, I might need to find someone who understands art to help me with this one."

Leon did not continue to tease Sophia, but seriously thought about the information hidden in the treasure map. According to his analysis, perhaps taking this treasure map to find Leah might be helpful.

"Has someone chosen?" After listening to Leon's analysis, Sophia asked curiously: "Who is it? Do I know him? Can I go treasure hunting with you?"

"You know her, right? She's the one who went to Joja's house with me last time to get some free stuff. Ahem, she's my lucky draw companion, the girl with orange pigtails, Leah." Leon said.

"As for the proposal of going together, forget it. When you are willing to call me brother, I will take you with me."

"Little fool, give up on this idea." Sophia protested in an unladylike manner, raising her middle finger at Leon.

"."

Faced with Sofia's resistance, Leon didn't know what to say. He quietly put away the treasure map and pretended nothing had happened. Fortunately, Sofia didn't seem angry about this request, but just disliked it. Leon was not afraid of Sofia's anger.

Just at this time, Gus brought a sumptuous lunch, a salmon set for Lyon and Grampton orange chicken for Sophia. She seemed to never get tired of this sweet chicken and rice dish, but the one prepared for Rhubarb left Lyon speechless.

A large glass of freshly squeezed juice, which looked like peach or cherry judging by its color, a large piece of medium-rare beef tenderloin, a plate of boneless fried eel, and a large bowl of rice with gravy.

The portion was large enough to fill two people. He gave it all to Dahuang and even found a napkin for Dahuang to wrap around his neck. Leon felt jealous of his preference for Dahuang.

Gus, who adopted Sophia as his daughter, made an exception and cooked chicken for her, and Leon accepted it. But why should he make an exception and cook steak for Da Huang, a puppy he just met for the first time? Leon had never eaten red meat cooked by Gus.

It's a pity that it's a bit embarrassing to be jealous of a dog, so Leon didn't ask Gus in person why he brought out a piece of beef, but just silently enjoyed his salmon set meal.

On the contrary, Dahuang seemed to notice that Leon was looking at his steak from time to time. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to push the steak in front of Leon with his paws and barked, as if to say, "If you like it, eat it."

When Leon saw this scene, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and complained to Da Huang: "Eat it yourself. I don't eat beef."

Upon hearing this, Dahuang showed an extremely human expression of surprise. He stared at Leon blankly, recalling the various beef dishes that Leon had served in the farm kitchen before, and fell into a state of doubt about his dog life.

"Da Huang really likes you and even knows to share with you." Sophia, who was standing by, saw the interaction between the man and the dog, and angrily swallowed the chicken and rice in her mouth and complained sourly.

"If you like, you can also raise one yourself." Leon has become accustomed to Sophia's resentment. As a man with a dog, he disdains to talk to people who don't have dogs.

"But I've never seen a puppy as smart as Dahuang, so there's no point in raising one." With Dahuang, a unique puppy, as her first love, Sophia has completely lost interest in the ordinary stuff in the pet market.

"Where did you get the rhubarb? Can you tell me? I also want to adopt one through the same channel. Money is not a problem."

"Put away your nouveau riche face. Money is meaningless to some beings, so don't even think about it." Leon reminded Sophia righteously.

He didn't dare let Sophia continue to show off her wealth. If the girl really offered a sky-high price, Leon might not be able to help but suggest buying Dahuang directly to earn this huge fortune.

"Okay, next time you have such an opportunity, don't forget me."

Sophia also realized some problems after hearing this, such as Dahuang's intelligence which is no less than that of humans. It is obvious that this is not something that ordinary animals can possess.

I thought about some of Leon's special features and the magical resurrection stone I got during this treasure hunt. All of these proved that the circle Leon came into contact with was completely different from the circle I understood.

Sophia was full of curiosity about this. She was really interested in the existence of this mysterious side. She usually watched anime, TV and played games and thought that these were just illusions of people who were unwilling to be ordinary. But when the special side of the world suddenly appeared in front of her, how could she be willing to ignore it?
