A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 557: Farmer's Friend
"Haha, the reputation of the Elemental City is indeed not very good in the outside world, but there is nothing we can do about it. There are too many races active here, and most of them have participated in the Elemental War. There is an indelible hatred between them, which has led to various problems and gray industries. But generally speaking, it is still relatively harmonious."

Roshi explained with a smile.

But this explanation made Leon feel that the city was even more dangerous. Fortunately, he was not afraid of it.

After leaving this shop called weapons store, which was actually a mercenary organization, Leon continued to move forward, looking around. Occasionally, he looked back and noticed that Roche, who had been keeping a distance from him before, had been following him closely without him knowing when.

"Is there danger?" Seeing Roche close to him, Lyon subconsciously became alert.

"No danger." Roche shook his head.

"Then why are you following so closely?" Leon breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Roche.

"Because there is no danger anymore, I am following closely. After all, besides protecting you, I also have the responsibility of being your guide," Roche explained.

"Before that, you weren't using me to fish, were you?" Roche's answer reminded Leon of Roche's previous method of protection, and he reacted immediately.

"You have a very useful brain. You guessed it so quickly." Roche looked at Lyon in surprise and praised him, but did not deny the fact that he was using Lyon to fish.

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by playing like this?" Lyon was speechless when he heard Roche's tacit agreement.

"After all, it's rare to see such a handsome guy like you. Your appearance is the favorite of females of many races. I thought that slave traders would target you and want to capture a few of them. As a result, I overestimated the sense of crisis caused by the actions some time ago. Those sewer rats are hiding in the cave and have not dared to show up until now." Roche explained.

"You are not a very competent guide and bodyguard. You are using my employer to fish. I demand compensation." Lyon was not angry when he heard this, but he still had to complain to prevent Roche from doing anything weird next time.

"Lyon, don't forget, you are also an explorer, and do you think 800G is really my price? Even if it is a guild mutual assistance clause, I can't be hired at this price. After all, I am the vice president of the Blade Head." Roche shrugged and reminded Lyon.

"Then what is the level of Vice President Roche's strength in the Explorers' Guild?" Lyon asked curiously.

"The registered information is XX, but I haven't verified my current strength for a long time. My real strength is at least XXX." Luo Shi thought for a moment and replied.

"What level is this 3X?" Lyon asked.

“3X is basically considered top-tier combat power. If you’re interested, I’ll tell you about it.

This is a comprehensive strength assessment summarized by the Explorers Guild. It is a comprehensive level evaluated based on combat effectiveness, task completion, and other methods. The most basic is level D, commonly known as a rookie, followed by level C newcomers, level B veterans, and level A fighters. When you reach level A, you can basically be considered an excellent explorer.

Going up further, there is the X-level core battle sequence layer, and the highest level is 5X. Currently, only the guild president and the guild head coach are at this level."

Roche explained in detail.

"So what level do you think I am?" Leon asked.

"You? Without a specific assessment, you're just a D-level rookie." Roche joked to Leon with a smile.

"What about Malone?" Lyon didn't feel frustrated about this. After all, he didn't know these things before, and it was reasonable for him to be assigned to the D-level rookie.

"Him, 2X, I guess. He's getting older, after all. When he was younger, Ma Long was rated 3X at the very least," Roche explained. "Understood." After hearing Roche's explanation, Lyon had a rough estimate of his own value.

Lyon remembered that Marlon had eaten three Star Fruits, and he had eaten two of them now. Even if he lacked combat experience and means, his physical fitness and galactic weapons should allow him to be rated as A-level in strength.

"If you're interested, I can give you a test when we get back." Roche suggested when he saw Leon thinking.

"Is it troublesome?" Leon asked.

"It's not a problem. The whole process will only take about half an hour." Roche replied.

"That's great. I really want to know what level I am at now." Lyon was quite curious about this. After all, until now, he has been in contact with various big guys. Although he has had actual combat, he relied on the sharpness of the Galaxy weapons and basically only killed them with one blow. So Lyon didn't know what level he was at.

"Then I hope you get good grades." Roche nodded and said no more.

And Leon knew that there was no rush for these things, so he continued to stroll around the shopping street with Roche.

As we continued forward, the number of people around us began to decrease, and the size and decoration of the shops became more and more luxurious.

Roche reminded him at the right moment, "This is the high-end goods area. If you don't have around 10WG, don't even think about buying anything. But you can look around. At least it can broaden your horizons. Oh, I forgot you have a membership card. Forget it."

After hearing what Roche said, Lyon did not explain much. He did have 10WG, but that also depended on whether the product was worth the price. However, since he was here, Lyon naturally wanted to see what good goods were in the so-called high-end product area.

After looking around for a long time, Lyon found a shop that interested him. The name of the shop was Farmer's Friend.

The name clearly showed that the store was related to agriculture, so Lyon naturally didn't want to miss it.

Roche was a little confused when he saw Leon walk into the store, but he followed him anyway.

Lyon, who had already entered the store, was checking the neatly arranged goods on the shelves.

Here, Lyon saw a lot of good stuff that interested him.

For example, on a shelf, Leon saw sprinklers of various levels. The most basic sprinklers were priced at 600G, the high-quality sprinklers were priced at 4000G, and the highest-level iridium sprinklers were priced at 11000G.

Lyon was mentally prepared for this price. When he first met Krobus, Lyon knew that the price of iridium sprinklers was over ten thousand. At this moment, the price of iridium sprinklers in this store was 1000G higher than the price quoted by Krobus, which was consistent with Lyon's understanding.

"Hey, here comes an excellent farmer, what a rare guest."

While Leon was looking at the sprinkler, the only clerk in the store, or the middle-aged woman who was the boss, took a quick glance and noticed the peculiarity of Leon. She immediately stood up from her chair, came to Leon and spoke.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a rich atmosphere of nature. Farmer, if you want to buy something, I can give you a discount."
