A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 495 The old man is one of us

"By the way, will the governor come today?"

Leon, who was standing with Lewis, asked.

"He won't come. The governor is very busy, but Mr. Aldo will show up to express the governor's support for the construction of this summer camp," Lewis explained.

"Oh."

I continued chatting with Lewis until everyone arrived and the media set up their cameras, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began.

Originally, Olivia asked Leon to go on stage with her, but after Leon declined, Olivia did not force it anymore. This made Leon a little surprised at how easy Olivia was to talk to.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over and the question-and-answer session began, Leon waved to familiar people in the audience, such as Gail, Aldo, and Lewis Olivia, and then left in a leisurely manner.

After driving the car back to the farm and parking it, Leon entered the cabin, turned on the TV and found Wilwick's fortune-telling for the day.

After learning that his fortune today was average and his fate was in his own hands, Lyon breathed a sigh of relief and headed directly towards the northern foothills.

"Yo, I thought you were going to stay there all day."

At the entrance of the mine, Leon saw old man Linus fishing on the shore with a bamboo fishing rod.

"I'm not the protagonist, I'm just an ordinary landlord." Leon replied.

"Haha, you kid." Linus couldn't help laughing when he heard that. "Be careful when you go down to the mine. I noticed you've activated the mine elevator to the 75th floor. Below that is the lava layer. You should be prepared to withstand the high temperature."

"Well, there's a set of ice thorn beast skin suit, which should be fine." Leon explained.

"That's good. After the 80th floor, it's the range of activities of the shadow people. You have to be careful of these guys hiding in the dark. They are not friendly to humans. However, the shadow people here in the mine are not tough guys. There are no shadow assassins and shadow warlocks who are good at ambushing in the shadows. You just need to pay attention and observe." Linus continued to remind Leon.

"It's no problem. Even if something unexpected happens, we still have nature to protect us."

Leon smiled and comforted Linus: “By the way, old man, the governor came to visit the northern foothills the day before yesterday. Was he looking for you?”

"How could a homeless man like me know the governor? You're overthinking it." Linus shook his head and said self-deprecatingly.

"Do you think I believe that?" Leon shrugged and grumbled, "Stardew Valley has a lot of beautiful scenery. The coal forest, the beach, and so on are all great places to visit. The governor's physique clearly doesn't excel at sports. He came all the way to the northern foothills to hike. I don't think he's here to exercise."

“What if it is?” Linus asked.

"Then we can only say that the governor's wife is really concerned about the governor's health." Lyon joked.

"Okay, okay, he did come to see me. After all, we are old friends. But we were just catching up and didn't talk about anything else. So don't ask about it." Linus no longer concealed it.

"Then it seems that the governor is not being polite, but is really very familiar with grandpa." After hearing this answer, Leon understood why the governor was so nice to him.

"Of course, Andrew also talked to me about you. He said that you are a good young man and more promising than us old bachelors. At such a young age, you know how to think about your future and have found your love. So, are you really with Abigail?"

"Well, didn't I tell you?" "No, but I guessed it. After all, when I occasionally chat with Rasmodes, I can tell that he has a lot of opinions about you. It's not often that he can do that."

"Hey, as an elder, do you have any blessings or gifts for us?"

"No, I'm a homeless person, so how can I get the money? I can give you my blessing, but that has to be when you and her get married. I'm quite surprised that you're considering such a thing so early. I originally thought you would become a playboy who is despised by others."

"Sometimes people are just so strange. When I first came to Stardew Valley, I only wanted to make money and didn't intend to be bound by emotions."

"That's great. Remember, when you really want to propose, don't buy a diamond ring. Go to the tidal pool on the beach and ask that old man for a mermaid pendant. That's the most sacred and romantic proposal token in Pelican Town. Except in winter, that old man will appear at the tidal pool whenever it rains in spring, summer, and fall."

"I have another question. Can I only buy one of this mermaid pendant?"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Linus looked at Leon in shock, then suddenly stood up and kicked Leon in the butt.

"What are you thinking, you little brat! If Rasmodes hears you, then you'd better pray that you won't be sent to the beast's lair to feed the spiders."

The kick was not very powerful and served mainly as a warning. Lyon just smiled and said nothing more.

Linus looked at Leon seriously for a long time before finally sitting back down on the shore, continuing to fish while complaining to Leon in disgust: "Go back to your mines. I'm annoyed by the sight of you now."

"Okay." Leon immediately turned around and entered the mine. As soon as he entered and pressed the elevator button, he heard Linus' words brought by the wind.

“That old ghost will only sell the mermaid pendant to anyone once. If you want to buy it again, you have to be divorced.

If you really want to buy more than one, you can't go through that old ghost. But as you can tell from the name, this thing comes from the mermaid clan. If you can have a good relationship with the mermaid clan, you can actually skip the old ghost middleman and buy multiple pendants.

However, the mermaids also attach great importance to exclusive love, so if you really want to do this, you have to find a way to convince them, and you also have to convince those unlucky girls you are targeting. Good luck.

"The old man is thoughtful."

When Leon heard this, he was filled with emotion, thinking about the old man's resistance just now.

It seems that he is not really unhappy, he is just acting for someone else, and before the show is over he starts to make plans for himself.

It turns out that old man Linus cares about me. When I get married in the future, I must let him sit at the main table and toast him with a few more glasses.

But now is not the time to talk about this. The elevator has arrived and Leon needs to go down and continue deeper into the mine.

"I hope to reach the 100th floor directly today."

After changing into a yeti fur suit in the elevator, Leon held a knife in his left hand and a steel pickaxe in his right hand. After exiting the mine, he began his life as a miner today.
