A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 548 Gentle and Kind Lyon

"I should go now. Old man, you should get some sun to replenish your calcium. After a while, the sun won't be as comfortable as it is now."

The best way to end such a heavy topic is to say goodbye, so Leon stood up and teased Linus, then began to clean up Linus's finished plate and prepared to go home.

"Well, just go and have fun without worry. I'll take care of the farm. Walk around and see more. Although you're smart, you don't have enough experience. I hope this trip to the Elemental City will allow you to know more about the other side of this world." Linus did not forget to remind Leon.

"Oh, by the way, should I reserve some tools for you?"

Before leaving, Leon suddenly thought that Linus might need his tools, so he asked immediately.

"No need, I have it. Your grandfather's set is still here with me." Linus replied, waving his hand.

"Oh? Can you let me take a look and see what it looks like?" Lyon immediately became interested when he heard that. He guessed that his grandfather's set of tools were at least made of iridium. If he could get them, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Don't even think about it. He didn't leave it to you but kept it with me, which means he doesn't want to see you get something for nothing. You should work hard to upgrade your own set of tools." Linus rejected Leon's idea without hesitation.

But I still revealed a few more words.

"But the old man didn't leave you nothing. Keep practicing your farming skills. When the time is right, you will find the gift the old man left for you. Those things are much more valuable than this set of tools."

"learn."

Lyon smiled and nodded. He was sure that his grandfather's inheritance was left in the mountains next to the lush production area on the other side of the coal forest, but he couldn't open it yet.

Thinking of the secret room, Leon remembered what Linus said when he heard about the secret room from Linus last time.

"Grandpa, you were wrong last time. You said I had to find the secret room and enter before I could be eligible to go to the Elemental City. But now I can go to the Elemental City. Isn't that surprising?"

"I'm talking about going alone. Can it be the same with Rasmodes, whom you followed this time?" Linus naturally understood Leon's subtext, but he also had a good reason.

"Okay." Seeing that Linus was not fooled, Leon stopped joking with the old man. He waved his hand, said goodbye to Linus, and returned to the farm along the same route.

After returning home, Leon washed the used dishes and began to prepare the things he needed to bring to the Elemental City.

First of all, you can put down the tools. After all, this time you are going out for a trip, not to open up new land. The axe, draft and kettle can basically be left at home. You can take the hoe with you, so as not to miss the ancient spots in the Elemental City without the right tools.

Then there are all the rubies provided by Linus and those harvested from the mines. These are the media for summoning gem puppets. Bringing more is also a guarantee.

Then there are life potions and super bombs. The former can ensure your own life safety, while the latter can directly overturn the table when you encounter trouble. Both are good trump cards.

Finally, there are some spare clothes and daily necessities, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, etc.

These things don’t need to be put in the system backpack, which takes up space. You can just put them in a backpack. And even if they are robbed, it’s okay because they are not valuable anyway.

When everything was ready, Leon did not stop there, but rode his bicycle to go to Joja's supermarket.

Lyon hadn't been here for a long time since the last lottery. When he entered the door, he saw Morris, and Morris greeted Lyon enthusiastically as always. There was no sign of resentment on his face because the valuable gift he had prepared was lost because of the draw by Lyon last time.

I don't know whether Morris really doesn't care or is hiding his emotions, but no matter which one it is, Leon has to admire Morris's sophistication. It's no wonder that Pierre feels pressured when such a person is assigned to Stardew Valley by the Joja family.

Leon, of course, wasn't visiting Maurice this time at the Joja supermarket. He found a shopping cart at the entrance and began shopping for snacks and fast food. After all, who travels without snacks? Not to mention Leon himself, even Abigail, who was traveling with him, was a real foodie. With all these little things, why would Leon be afraid Abigail wouldn't come over?

Of course, there is actually a factor of Lyon's concern about the food in the Elemental City. After all, this special city is not just home to humans. God knows whether the definition of food in the city culture where various races are integrated together is the same as that of humans. Preparing more food will also make it easier to avoid going hungry in case of accidents, right?
When Leon came to the front desk with a full shopping cart of food, it was Claire who paid the bill.

She still looked tired, but compared to before, Claire now had a smile on her face.

"Hi, Leon."

Claire seemed very happy to see Leon as she helped him scan the code to pay and greeted him.

"The shopping card you won last time wasn't taken back by Morris, was it?"

Leon asked.

"No, Manager Morris hasn't talked to me about this," Claire explained.

"That's good." Lyon nodded and said nothing more.

On the contrary, when Claire saw what Leon bought, she couldn’t help but ask, “Leon, are you planning to hold a party at home?”

"No, these are prepared for traveling." Leon explained.

"Then I wish you a pleasant trip." Claire smiled and wished Leon well.

"Thank you."

"It's 249G in total. Do you need a shopping bag?"

"The biggest size."

"Thank you for coming, and you are welcome to come again next time."

After helping Leon pack all the things, Claire handed the big bag to Leon with some difficulty. Seeing Leon easily taking it with one hand and holding it in his hand, Claire couldn't help but look at Leon's arm twice.

She didn't expect that although Leon looked thin, he was so strong.

"Let's go. Remember to get enough rest. While making money is important, your health is even more important. If you ever get tired of the Joja family, perhaps I can offer you a new job."

After giving Claire a reminder, Leon left Joja's supermarket.

Claire was thinking about Leon's words, feeling confused and surprised. However, when she thought that Leon's reminder was well-intentioned, she was quite touched. After all, up to now, Leon seemed to be the first person who noticed her tiredness and reminded her.

Then Claire remembered Leon's help at the Stardrop Bar last time and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Leon is really a very gentle and kind person."
