A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 510 Gem Shaping

After leaving the mine, Leon went straight to Linus's tent.

Leon has no intention of returning the Icethorn Skin Set for the time being. It's already the 100th floor. If he continues to work hard, reaching the 120th floor is not a distant thing.

When Leon arrived near Linus's tent, he saw Linus sitting on a plastic chair he got from somewhere with his chin held low, staring at the sky in a daze.

"Old man?"

He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Linus twice, but failed to attract Linus' attention, so Leon had to say hello.

"What's the matter again?" Linus blinked when he heard the voice, shifted his gaze from the sky to Leon, looked him up and down for a long time before asking.

"I found another Star Fruit and plan to eat it. I need you to protect me." Leon explained why he disturbed Linus.

"Did you get the second Star Fruit so soon?" Linus was a little surprised when he heard that. He then reached out and patted Leon on the chest. He then stood up and walked behind Leon and patted him on the back.

"Well, it's about time. I've almost absorbed all the fruit from the last one, so there's no harm in eating it now."

"Then I'll eat it." Leon took out the Star Fruit, and after seeing Linus nod, he began to eat the Star Fruit in his hand in big mouthfuls.

Rich juice, soft and sticky flesh, and a fried rice flavor that has nothing to do with the taste of fruit.

The second experience of eating the Star Fruit was quite interesting for Leon. The first time, because of nervousness, he did not savor the flavor of the Star Fruit carefully. Now, after trying it again, he found that this thing actually tastes quite special.

When the fruit was completely swallowed, without even the core left, Lyon felt that his brain had crashed at that moment. Countless familiar or unfamiliar images emerged in his mind, flashing alternately in his mind like slides.

The final scene freezes in a memory buried deep in Lyon's memory.

It was an ordinary night. Little Leon was curled up in his father's arms, listening to his father telling the story of Nuwa creating human beings.

After hearing the story, little Leon did not feel sleepy. Instead, he foolishly asked his father if he could learn this ability.

The father asked little Leon why he had such an idea.

Little Leon replied that he wanted to make a little sister for himself.

As a result, my father gave me some knowledge about family planning and the slogan of "fewer children, better quality, and a happy life."

Watching this memory clip that played like a VR movie, Leon couldn't help but smile. Perhaps his father had to take most of the blame for his irrational way of thinking.

The video finally ended when a clip showed little Leon in a daze, with his eyes blurred and falling asleep after attending a family planning science class.

Leon, who was watching from the side, came to his senses at this moment, opened his eyes, and saw Linus' concerned face.

"How does it feel?"

"Very good." Leon stood up and stretched a bit, and found that he felt relaxed all over, just like he had taken a hot bath and done a good health check after a tiring day, and he felt refreshed.

"Then do you have any resistance to the Star Fruit?" Linus asked.

"What resistance?" Leon asked doubtfully.

"If there was a Star Fruit right here, would you still want to eat it?" Linus gave an example. "Of course!" Leon nodded. He actually enjoyed the experience of eating a Star Fruit because it allowed him to see people he couldn't see now, and the feeling was very real, unlike the vagueness of a dream.

"It seems that two is not your limit. That's good." Hearing Leon's affirmative answer, Linus nodded, and then asked Leon.

"Did you awaken any new abilities? Or did you strengthen your previous farming ability?"

"Let me take a look." As soon as he came to his senses, he was interrogated by Linus. Leon didn't even have the chance to look at the system prompt that he had just ignored because he was immersed in his memory.

"The longings of my heart have been answered by the earth. The special ability - Gem Shaping has been unlocked."

"Gem Shaping: Using gems as a medium, depending on the gems you sacrifice, summon earth golems with different attributes from the earth to fight for you. The duration of the golems depends on the gems. You can only possess one golem, and Gem Shaping can only be used once per day."

"It seems like I've awakened a combat ability."

Seeing the system prompts and the additional gem shaping ability in the special ability column on the personal information panel, Leon explained to Linus.

"Oh? Combat ability, what type? Auxiliary, enhancement or direct damage." Linus immediately became interested after hearing this.

"Summoning type." Leon corrected.

"Summoning type?" Linus raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

"This is a rare ability. Can it summon tree people, beasts, or even elements?"

"Summon a puppet, an earth puppet, but it requires a gem as a medium." Leon directly explained the skills to Linus.

“Are there any restrictions?” Linus demanded.

"It can only be summoned once a day, and only one puppet can exist at a time," Leon added.

"Try it?" Hearing the effect, Linus immediately went into the tent, took out a diamond and handed it to Leon.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to use diamonds? I think amethyst is pretty good." Seeing that Linus took out diamonds for the experiment, Leon felt a strong aura of a wealthy man emanating from the unkempt Linus.

"It's okay, I have them all. Try the diamond first." Linus stuffed the diamond into Leon's hand and urged him.

Although Leon felt it was a bit of a waste, seeing Linus looking forward to it, he didn't want to let the old man down, so he immediately picked up the diamond and activated the gem-shaping ability.

The moment the ability was activated, the diamond began to break into powder and fell from Leon's hand to the ground. Then the ground under the feet of the two began to surge, and countless soils began to gather together, absorbing the falling diamond powder, and then quickly condensed into shape.

In the blink of an eye, a humanoid creature sparkling with diamonds appeared in front of them. Its entire body was made of the same material as diamonds, with slender limbs and an S-shaped body, like a female sculpture carved out of a giant diamond.

"Hiss, your puppet is a little special."

Looking at the puppet's obvious feminine features, although there is nothing exposed, anyone can tell that this puppet is a female.

This is completely different from other puppets Linus has seen. Those puppets all pursue tall and mighty barrel-shaped bodies. Wherever they stand, they are oppressive monsters. But the puppet created by Leon is like a work of art sculpture.
