A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 509: Full of Bombs
Lyon watched helplessly as the dwarf took out one super bomb after another from the box and threw them aside casually like throwing stones. Soon, super bombs as big as basketballs piled up into a mountain.

This made Leon panic, because if one of them exploded, the dwarf in the cave and himself would probably die here.

"Um, don't you pay attention to safety?" Seeing the dwarf casually taking out a bomb from the bottomless box and throwing it aside, Leon couldn't help but remind him.

"Although our craftsmanship isn't as good as yours, we still attach great importance to the safety of our bombs. As long as there's no open flame to ignite the fuse, these bombs won't break or explode even if they fall from a height of more than ten meters onto solid rock. Please rest assured."

The dwarf took out the bomb without looking back, and comforted Leon at the same time.

"Okay, it's good that you have this confidence." Hearing this, Leon felt relieved.

In fact, even if the explosion really happened, Leon would not panic. Natural protection is not a vegetarian. It is just that the dwarves may not be able to withstand the explosion. He is actually considering the dwarves.

Soon, most of the cave was filled with super bombs. The dwarfs stopped throwing bombs roughly and started to grope out lava crystal balls as red as chicken blood.

No more, no less, exactly thirty, the same size as a super bomb, but appearing more narrow and long, and similar in shape to a rugby ball.

"Actually, if it's inconvenient for you to take them away, Leon, we can contact the Far-Traveling Chamber of Commerce to have these things delivered to your farm, and I'll bear the shipping costs." The dwarf suggested, looking at the super bombs and crystal balls piled up like a hill on the side.

"No need, just sign the order first." Since no payment has been made yet, these bombs and lava crystal balls do not belong to Leon, so Leon naturally cannot use the system backpack to pack them up and take them away.

However, as long as the money is paid, the ownership of these bombs and crystal balls will be transferred to Leon, who can clear the venue in just one minute.

The dwarf didn't try to persuade him much, and immediately began drafting the purchase contract. It was written entirely by hand, in a simple format, and the text clearly stated the number of bombs Leon was purchasing, their unit price, and the total price of the goods. It also included the number of lava crystals that would be included as a bonus, and finally handed the contract to Leon.

Lyon glanced at the numbers above and felt a bit of a headache. After all, if this thing was really signed and then the dwarf changed it, he would be afraid of being cheated.

He just thought that the dwarves shouldn't be that evil, and the account would be easy to check. If he was really cheated, Lyon could ask the Traveling Chamber of Commerce for help, and he shouldn't be unable to get back the gold coins he was cheated of. So he signed his name immediately.

After signing his name, Lyon found that his worries were unnecessary, because the contract was directly transformed from paper to stone after he signed it, the written words became carvings, and the spacing between each number and letter was also uniform. No matter what was added on it, it would appear extremely abrupt, and the physical aspect eliminated the possibility of changing the contract a second time.

This made Lyon curious, whether this anti-counterfeiting and anti-alteration mechanism was the work of the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce or a secret of the dwarfs.

"Now these things belong to you, Mr. Lyon." After carefully putting away the contract that had turned into a stone slab, the dwarf reminded Lyon.

Leon said nothing. Using the amplification of the small magnetic ring, all the super bombs and lava crystal balls were put into the backpack.

Watching the accumulated bombs and caves in the cave disappear in just a few breaths, the dwarf looked at Lyon and understood why Lyon no longer needed transportation services.

"As expected of a member card holder."

Of course, the dwarf did not say this explicitly.

"Happy Trading."

Leon was quite pleased to see the 100 Super Bombs in his backpack, which, combined with the lava crystals he'd earned from mining, now totaled 37. Money is earned to be spent, and these Super Bombs would be his perfect companions in the future, saving him from the repetitive labor of bending over and lifting a pickaxe. Perhaps his old back would last a few more years.

"Happy trade." The dwarf replied with a smile. It had been a long time since it had made such a big deal. It was also very happy to clear out its inventory.

"By the way, this is for you."

The transaction was completed, and Leon took out the milk prepared for the dwarf. The snow-white milk in the glass bottle made the dwarf open his eyes wide with curiosity.

"Is it milk?"

Hearing the dwarf's uncertain yet slightly expectant tone, Leon smiled and handed over the milk.

"Won't you know if you try it?"

"Well, thank you." After politely thanking Leon, the dwarf unscrewed the bottle cap with his bare hands, put the bottle mouth into the helmet, and drank the milk in the bottle with a gulp.

"It's milk! What a wonderful taste."

After finishing a bottle of milk, the dwarf was very satisfied. Looking at the empty bottle, he couldn't help licking his tongue.

"This thing is not expensive. If you like it, you can buy some." Lyon reminded.

"No, we won't take the initiative to contact humans. Mines are the most comfortable and safest place for us. We hate sunlight, just like the Shadow People." The dwarf explained, shaking his head.

"Aren't you going to the Elemental City? You should be able to buy milk there too." Leon asked.

"I have never been to the Elemental City, nor have I left Stardew Valley," said the dwarf.

"Okay, then I'll bring you more next time. Of course, you need to pay. Just think of it as me buying it for you." Lyon felt a little sympathetic to the dwarf's situation after hearing this. This guy, like Krobus, is a stay-at-home.

As for the question of asking for money, it's not that Leon is stingy, it's simply to avoid embarrassing the dwarf. If he pays for the purchase, the dwarf will not feel any psychological burden when drinking the milk that Leon brought.

"Thank you for your help." The dwarf was very grateful for Lyon's kindness, and immediately decided that next time Lyon had a purchasing plan, he could give him more gifts.

"Okay, I have to go now. I have other things to do. I'll talk to you next time."

After buying the things, Leon didn't plan to stay here any longer. His relationship with the dwarf was just a cooperative relationship and he was familiar with the dwarf. He felt that it would be more comfortable and natural to communicate with Krobus.

Moreover, if he has too much contact with the dwarves, he might be infected with the dwarves' scent and be noticed by Krobus. Then, Luang would have to find a way to convince Krobus that he is not a killer sent by the dwarves, which would be quite troublesome.

Of course, the most important point is that Leon wants to eat the star fruit as soon as possible. He can't wait to see what kind of special abilities this star fruit can give him.
