A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 511: Wow! Looks like you, a crystal person!

"Um, maybe it's the nature of the gem? Diamonds are generally favored by women, so that's why it's shaped into a female form?"

Facing Linus's strange look, Leon racked his brains to come up with a suitable reason.

As to whether this reason is correct, Leon is not sure. He actually has his own guess about why the puppet he created has a female posture.

Perhaps it has a lot to do with what I said when I was a child, that I wanted a younger sister.

"That's a possibility. Then, what is your control over this puppet? Does it act completely according to your will, or do you command it by command?"

After hearing this, Linus felt that what Leon said made sense, and then he turned his attention back to the slender diamond puppet that was reflecting dazzling light in the sun and asked Leon.

“It seems to be imperative.”

Leon had a good comprehension ability, and he could understand the two control modes that Linus mentioned. After all, he was an old bookworm who had read online novels for so many years, and puppetry was not uncommon among people.

However, when Leon wanted to control the puppet according to his own will, he found to his embarrassment that he had no connection with the diamond puppet. In other words, even if Leon had a lot of ideas in his mind, the puppet would probably not be able to sense his thoughts.

So Lyon thinks it should be the latter.

"Let her attack me and test her strength."

Linus was not surprised to hear this. Instead, he rubbed his hands excitedly and made a suggestion to Leon.

"it is good."

Although it was unclear how powerful Linus was, Leon didn't think that a puppet summoned by a diamond could defeat Linus, so Leon did not reject the proposal and directly gave orders to the diamond puppet.

"Attack him."

The diamond puppet, which was originally as quiet and beautiful as a virgin, took action instantly after hearing the words.

The originally human-like arms directly condensed into two triangular spikes, the sharp edges flashing with cold light. Then the diamond puppet used the arms that had been transformed into weapons as weapons, pounced towards Linus, and started fighting.

At this moment, Leon was standing aside and watching the show. After all, the order had been given and there was nothing else he could do. Now it depended on the performance of the diamond puppet and the strength of old man Linus.

Old man Linus was a little surprised when facing the attack of the diamond puppet, because the movements of this diamond puppet were very light and swift, completely different from other puppets that were clumsy, and its movements were neat and tidy. The posture after each attack was as elegant as a solo dance.

What's even more interesting is that this puppet's own combat IQ is not low. In addition to the stabbing attacks that its arms transform into, the continuous attacks such as stabbing, chopping, picking, and pressing are endless, one move after another, and its rolling and moving movements are also very coherent, and its flexibility is not much worse than that of humans.

And during the attack, it will also intersperse other offensive moves, such as transforming its feet into sharp cones to stab itself, trying to catch itself off guard. If it were a soldier without enough combat experience, he would probably be really tricked.

While dodging, Linus did not forget to counterattack, but judging from the feedback of his fists and palms hitting the puppet, the hardness of the puppet itself was comparable to that of diamond.

However, this does not mean that this diamond puppet can bring pressure to Linus, let alone taking out weapons. Linus feels that if he pays a little more attention, he can easily smash the puppet. But he is quite satisfied that this puppet was summoned by Leon.

At least having a puppet with this kind of combat intelligence is definitely a good thing for Leon, as his combat power has doubled.

"Not bad, with your ability, this puppet may be much more powerful than your real body." While easily dodging the attack of the diamond puppet, Linus sighed to Leon.

"Maybe." Lyon's expression was a little strange at this moment.

The more he looked at the diamond puppet, the more familiar it seemed to him. After a little recollection, Leon found the reason why it looked familiar. The attack mode and posture of this diamond puppet were very similar to the crystal man in the old man's ring.

And there is another very important point, that is, during the battle, Leon discovered that there was something similar to an energy bar on the top of the diamond puppet's head. As the battle progressed, these energy bars were slowly shortening. In the minute of fighting with Linus, one tenth of the energy bars had been consumed.

There is also an inconspicuous white bar on the energy bar. This thing will not shorten with the passage of time, but it will be reduced every time Linus attacks, which makes Leon have some guesses.

"Old man, try hitting him back with a little more force."

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so if you want to verify your speculation, the best way is to put it into practice.

Linus did not refuse after hearing this. He cheered up, relaxed his hands and feet a little, dodged the attacks, and punched the diamond puppet again and again.

Then Leon saw that under Linus's attack, each punch reduced the size of the white bar by a large square.

When two-thirds of the white stripes disappeared, extremely obvious cracks began to appear on the diamond shell of the diamond puppet.

"It's really an armor strip."

The experimental results were exactly the same as his own speculation, and Leon also understood the drawbacks of the diamond puppet.

Linus also noticed this and was not surprised by it, and suggested it to Leon.

"It seems that using gems will give it a shell with the same strength as the gems. If you want to use it in combat in the future, it's best to choose gems with higher hardness, such as diamonds and red crystals."

"Yeah." Leon nodded to show his understanding. At the same time, he looked at the diamond puppet's energy bar, which was more than half full, and its armor bar, which was about to disappear, and ordered: "Stop attacking."

Following Leon's command, the diamond puppet immediately stopped moving and stood still, restoring its sculpture-like shape.

And at the moment of stopping, Leon was surprised to find that the energy bar and armor bar of the diamond puppet were slowly recovering.

At the same time, as the armor bars recovered, the cracks on the puppet's body also shrank and recovered.

"Wow, there is also an automatic repair function. Not bad, not bad. Your ability is really interesting." Linus obviously noticed this and immediately exclaimed in praise.

"That's pretty good. Maybe in the future, we can let her leave the battlefield and hide aside to recover before she is almost broken, and then pull her over to continue fighting when she is almost ready. The puppet should not have any physical energy consumption." Leon nodded and said.

"Well, that's a good tactic." Linus agreed with Lyon's understanding.

"And you don't have to be too disappointed with it. It might seem a little inferior against me, but against ordinary people, or fighters of your level, its pressure, offensive power, and defensive capabilities are all top-notch."
