A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 554: High-Consumption City
After reporting to Rasmodesmus, Leon returned to his room and wrote down the pick-up service for a specific area on the communication board.

As soon as he finished writing, the words on the communication board disappeared. Before Leon could consider whether to write it again, there was a knock on the door.

Looking through the peephole, he discovered that the person standing outside the door was the coachman who had picked them up in the morning. Lyon then realized that he had already notified his subordinates of the service requirements he had written down.

"Sir, this is the pick-up service you ordered for a specific area."

Opening the door, the driver asked Leon with a smile.

"It's me. How much does it cost to go to the Blade's Head Guild?" Leon confirmed.

"It depends on whether you're buying a one-way or round-trip ticket," the driver explained. "A one-way ticket is 200G, and a round-trip ticket is 300G."

"Hiss, is it so expensive?"

Upon hearing the offer, Leon took a deep breath. With only two or three hundred gold coins, if you spend them sparingly, you can buy a lot of things at Joja's supermarket.

"This is the price in Element City. After all, Element City is not a safe place." The driver was not surprised by Lyon's reaction. Many customers who came to Element City for the first time were like this.

"I'm going to the Bladehead Guild this time and won't be back until the evening. I bought a round-trip ticket. Will you wait for me?" Leon asked.

"Of course, but I won't wait for you at the door. If you have a cell phone, I can give you my number. When you need to return, you can call me and I will come to pick you up." The driver explained with a smile.

"Then it's a round-trip ticket." Lyon took out 300G and handed it to the driver.

"Do you need a fruit plate? It's only 100G." The driver took the money and started selling.

"unnecessary."

Leon shook his head, and then went downstairs at the driver's invitation.

When he arrived at the hall, Cody saw Leon coming down the stairs alone, accompanied by the coachman, and immediately said: “Little friend, are you going out?”

"Yes, Mr. Cody." Lyon still had great respect for this former guardian boss.

"Then if you pass by the shopping street, remember to bring me some demi-human spices." Cody said.

"Okay." Lyon's destination this time was indeed the shopping street, so he agreed to this request.

"Good, you are a polite and good boy. Here, if anyone gives you trouble outside, just say I am protecting you." Cody raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then he took out a coin from the counter and threw it to Leon.

"But I must remind you that the Elemental City is not the material world. Don't agree to other people's requests casually here."

Leon took the coin and replied to Cody with a smile: "It's because you have a good relationship with Master Rasmodes that I agreed to run errands for you."

"Hahaha, not bad, you are a smart man, enjoy the fun of the Elemental City." Cody laughed when he heard this.

After laughing, Cody leaned back on the bar and yawned, as if nothing had happened.

Leon didn't chat with Cody anymore. He left the hotel with the coachman and got on the rat cart parked outside the hotel.

When he got on the bus, Leon found that there was a fruit plate on the bus. He immediately complained to the driver: "Are you forcing me to consume this?"

"Dear guest, you are joking. This is a gift. After all, you are the boss's guest. This is just a small token of my appreciation." The driver said to Leon very respectfully at this moment. At the same time, his eyes could not help but glance at the coin in Leon's hand, his eyes full of envy and desire.

"Then I am still taking advantage of Mr. Cody." Lyon smiled and got into the car, playing with the coin Cody gave him in the car.

The coin was solid and silver, with a raven holding a wand carved on both sides. Beyond that, there were no other decorations, making it look quite ordinary. However, judging by the driver's change of attitude, the coin's actual significance was far more profound, which made Leon sigh: no matter what world you live in, connections are indeed a valuable asset.

As the mouse car began to move, Leon glanced at the fruit plate in the car, thought for a moment, and did not eat it. Instead, he put it all into the system backpack.

Lyon will not let go of something that is free just because of modesty.

These fruits that cannot be tasted in the ordinary world can be brought back. Once you unlock the seed-making machine, you may try to make them into seeds to enrich the planting range of your farm.

When the rat carriage stopped, Leon saw the driver come over and open the door immediately.

"Leave your phone number and I'll let you know when I'm coming back." Leon said to the driver after getting off the car.

"No need, I'll wait for you here and make sure you can get the bus back to the hotel as soon as possible." The driver explained with a smile.

"Then it's up to you."

Lyon did not refuse. Although the coachman's transformation came from Cody's coins, as a beneficiary, Lyon would not give up this benefit. This is the way society is.

No longer paying attention to the coachman, Lyon went straight to the Blade's Head Guild next to the rat cart parking spot. Unlike when he came out, this time Lyon could appreciate the Blade's Head Guild's entrance alone. Looking at the sculpture of an explorer standing at the door, and the Blade's Head Guild's logo of two crossed swords and a torch combination, Lyon felt it was quite interesting.

At least it looks much more high-end and impressive than the Explorers Guild in Stardew Valley.

After entering the hall, Leon found that there were still many people chatting or resting in the hall, and his arrival attracted the attention of some people.

"Hello again, sir! How can I help you?"

At this moment, an explorer with a mustache quickly stepped forward and asked Leon.

Apparently, he was one of the witnesses who noticed Leon bowing to the Monument to the Heroes in the morning, so he was quite enthusiastic about Leon.

"I need to hire an A-level or higher explorer as a tour guide and bodyguard to take me around the Elemental City." Lyon stated his purpose directly.

"Grade A or above? This is beyond my acceptable range. You'd better go find the receptionist." Upon hearing this request, the man with a mustache immediately took a step back in embarrassment, but still gave Leon some hints.

"Thank you." After expressing his gratitude to the man with a mustache, Leon headed towards the semi-enclosed reception desk.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Seeing Lyon coming, the young lady who was writing on the parchment scroll behind the windowsill immediately put down the pen in her hand and asked Lyon with a smile.

"I need to hire an A-level or higher explorer as a tour guide and bodyguard to take me around the Elemental City." Leon repeated his purpose.

"Is that so? After all, there aren't many A-level explorers. If you can offer a suitable price, perhaps some free explorers will be interested." The receptionist reminded.

"What is the minimum G I should pay to get a response?" Leon asked.

"Starting from 1000G." The lady at the front desk replied with a smile.

"hiss"

Hearing this offer, Lyon couldn't help but take a breath. He now completely understood that the consumption level in the Element City was really not low.

However, it is also possible that the appearance fee of an A-level explorer is more expensive, but no matter what, Lyon cannot refuse this money.

Although this was his first time in the Elemental City, judging from some details, this city was not a friendly place. Without a reliable guide and bodyguard, he might really suffer a great loss in this city.
