A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 466: The Black Party Can Be Skipped
"Okay, but let me warn you first, you might be overthinking it."

Seeing Haley's serious face and her words filled with doubt and fear, Leon sighed helplessly, then slightly modified the story of the treasure hunt and told it to Haley.

"Why would a mysterious big shot have access to these things? I'm just an ordinary small town girl." Haley's first reaction after hearing this was that something was wrong.

After all, according to Leon's description, this Mr. Qi should be a big boss who can cover the sky with one hand, but such a big boss used the past of a small town girl like herself who had never heard of his name as the answer to the mystery, which made Haley feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't know, but Mr. Qi wouldn't do anything without a purpose. The last person who helped me, Sophia, had the same doubts and anger as you, but after finding the treasure, she immediately forgave Mr. Qi. I think you might also forgive Mr. Qi's rudeness the moment you see the treasure."

Leon analyzed, shaking his head.

"So now we have to see what comes out of the negatives before we can continue to uncover the location of this treasure."

"Okay, I hope you're not lying to me." Although Haley was still a little suspicious, Leon's speculation did make her very curious about the result, so Haley agreed to help Leon develop the film.

"Want to come in together?"

Standing at the door of her room, Haley looked at Leon who stopped outside the door with Dahuang and asked.

"Okay." Leon didn't refuse this time. After all, he was really curious about what the photos would look like after the film was developed.

And this wasn't the first time he entered Haley's room, but Haley wasn't worried. How could a grown man like him be timid?

Haley rolled her eyes at Leon, then took him to a small door in the corner of the room, found the key and opened it.

It was pitch black inside, but luckily there was a light. Although it was dark red when turned on, at least I could see the situation inside clearly.

A standard darkroom setup with a small table filled with all the tools needed for developing the images.

Once Haley entered the darkroom, she became busy. She skillfully attached the negative to the film core of the developing tank, then put it into the wet area for washing, injected the developer into it, poured out the developer after soaking it, and injected the fixer again.

The series of operations were very fast and seemed complicated. Lyon didn't understand them at all, but he did understand the last step of drying.

"It'll take a little while. Although this negative has suffered all sorts of troubles it shouldn't have, it's been preserved in exceptionally good condition. The resulting photos should be similar to those from a properly stored film."

While the clothes were drying, Haley chatted with Leon.

"Now I believe that Mr. Qi is a big shot. I have never heard of such special film negatives in the photography industry. If possible, I really want to purchase a batch of such films from him."

"I'll ask for you when I have a chance." Lyon replied.

Although it is quite difficult to find Mr. Qi, Lyon has already determined that the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce should be Mr. Qi's property. If Mr. Qi really has such special films, and in large quantities, then he should be able to buy them by placing an order with the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce. It depends on whether the other party will sell it to him.

"Yeah." Haley nodded and didn't mention the price at all. It seemed that as long as the goods were available, the price was definitely not a threshold that bothered her.

After chatting for a few more sentences, the photo that Hailey had been paying attention to was finally ready. However, when she saw the content of the photo, Hailey immediately hid it.

"What's wrong? Private photos?" Seeing Haley's actions, Leon, who was also waiting for the results, complained speechlessly.

"No, it's just that I don't want you to see the content in the photo." Haley replied, shaking her head.

"But if I don't look, how can I find the treasure?" Leon asked. "I can find it myself." Hailey answered confidently.

"Then let me ask you a question. If you answer correctly, I will give you this task." Lyon almost laughed out loud when he heard this, but he managed to hold it back.

"What's the problem? Come on." Haley asked confidently without any sign of fear.

"Two people fell into a trap. The dead one is called a dead person, but what is the living one called?"

"Well, a living person is called a living person." After hearing this question, Haley thought for a moment and finally answered uncertainly.

"Help me! You don't even know such a simple question. How can I let you decipher it?" Leon complained to Haley with a disappointed look on his face.

"No, your question is very strange. You are misleading me. I don't accept it." Haley was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she felt that this answer really fits the question. It's just that she didn't react for a while, so she didn't think it was because she was stupid.

"Then let's move on to the next question. If you don't answer this one, you have to show me the photo." Leon didn't want to engage in endless brain teasers with Haley, so this time he took precautions in advance and asked for a promise from Haley.

"Okay, but if I answer correctly, you have to listen to me. I will be in charge of everything during this treasure hunt." Haley nodded and added her own conditions.

"Okay, it's a deal. If you break your promise, don't even think about touching Da Huang again." Leon nodded, and at the end he added a threat to make Haley obey.

"Ah."

“Why are the palms of black people white?”

To ensure the difficulty, Leon chose his favorite and most hellish joke to ensure victory.

"Huh?" Hailey was stunned when she heard this topic. After a long moment, she hesitantly replied, "Because there's no sunlight here?"

"Wrong, because when Yuba was coloring them, their hands were on the police car." Leon revealed the answer expressionlessly.

"?!"

Haili was stunned when she heard this. After a long while, she raised her trembling middle finger and complained to Leon: “Are you really not afraid of being accused of racial discrimination?”

"Don't be afraid, they have no evidence, and there are only two of us here. I'm afraid you don't dare to report this joke." Leon joked with a smile.

"Shameless." Haley gritted her teeth and cursed Leon.

But Leon didn't care about it at all. He just stretched out his hand and motioned Haley to hand over the photo, and at the same time he touched Dahuang demonstratively.

Haley was so angry that her teeth were itching when she saw this, but she couldn't take back what she had said, mainly because Dahuang was too cute.

In the end, Haley reluctantly took out the photo and placed it on Leon's palm and warned him.

"Please return the photos to me after you have looked at them."

"no problem."
