A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 563 Fishing Tackle Shop

On the other side, Roche and Lyon continued to tour the shopping street. With the help of the Farmer's Friends, Lyon was quite interested in this high-end goods area.

"I didn't expect you to be a farmer."

After taking only two steps, Roche couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, didn't Vice President Roche read my information?" Lyon replied with a nod.

"No, after all, I'm not in charge of personnel matters." Roche shook his head. "Then why do you want to be an explorer? Farmers earn much more than explorers, and this profession is more important than an explorer. A farmer who can grow high-quality crops is as valuable as a 3X-level explorer warrior."

"I joined the Explorers' Guild out of interest. My main occupation is still a farmer. I joined the Explorers' Guild because I was interested in their products and I also wanted to help protect Stardew Valley," Leon explained.

"Understood. I will talk to the president later. You just focus on being a farmer. When Malone's punishment is over and he is transferred back to the headquarters, you will be responsible for the position of person in charge of the Stardew Valley branch. You will not be required to participate in various recruitments of the Explorers' Guild, and I will not let others recruit you. I hope you can understand." Roche said to Leon seriously.

"Although this decision may make you feel uncomfortable, farmers who can grow high-quality crops are extremely rare. Your talent and ability in agriculture are more important than a team of explorers. This is for the greater good."

"I understand. I have never underestimated the importance of logistics." Lyon affirmed Roche's words, and Roche breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.

"Okay, if you had told me earlier that you were a farmer, you wouldn't even need a commission. I would have escorted you around the Elemental City for free."

After finishing the conversation, Roche joked to Leon.

"Is it too late to refund the money now?" Lyon asked jokingly.

"No, I've already completed the commission and can't withdraw. Besides, you should have made a lot of money. I saw you spent so much in that store just now. It's obvious that you are not short of money. If you can make so much money, it also means that you have shipped a lot of high-quality crops. Most of these high-quality crops are probably consumed by our explorers and those battlefield mages. I'm just trying to recoup some of the costs." Roche refused with a smile.

"That's okay. I'll produce more high-quality crops later and make back the money."

"That's great. The more high-quality crops that appear, the more benefits there will be for the wounded on the front line and the training of prospective explorers. I'm optimistic about you." Roche patted Leon's shoulder and encouraged him.

After learning about Lyon's identity as a farmer, Roche became more enthusiastic and easy-going than before, obviously considering Lyon as someone on the same level.

The most obvious benefit of this is that Roche started to chat proactively and generously shared information about the city with Lyon, recommending some shops suitable for Lyon.

For example, the blacksmith shop where the two of them are now was recommended by Roche. It not only sells weapons and armor, but also farm tools.

I just visited this blacksmith shop in Lyon and found that the things here are not that special. The only feature is the upgrade of farm tools.

But Clint can do it too, and at a lower price, so why should Lyon go so far?

"You don't need farm tools. You can buy a handy weapon. The weapons you bought from Ma Long are mostly standard weapons. They're strong enough, but not very good. You don't need to go on missions in various ruins and on the front lines, but I remember there are monsters in the abandoned mines in Stardew Valley. You should also collect minerals yourself. Having a good weapon can better protect you."

Seeing that Lyon just walked around his blacksmith shop and came out directly, Roche patiently reminded Lyon.

"No need, I have a handy weapon." Seeing no one around, Lyon pulled out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife from his system backpack. Seeing the purple blade unique to the Galaxy weapon and the starlight flowing on it, Roche felt relieved instantly.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to possess a galactic weapon. Well, I was overthinking it. With this thing, those scrap metals in the blacksmith shop really can't compare."

"Roche, you should also have Gingabu," Leon asked back.

"Of course, but mine is not a sword, mine is a hammer, a two-meter-two-meter-long hammer." Roche nodded and explained.

"It suits your temperament very well." Lyon looked at Roche's body shape and exaggerated muscles after hearing this, and had more evidence to support his view on the mutual influence between galactic weapons and their holders.

"Hahaha, I think so too. The shaping of Gingabu always fits the holder." Roshi replied with a laugh.

Continuing forward, Lyon's attention was attracted by a fishing tackle store.

"Opening a fishing tackle shop in Elemental City, especially in a location like this, are there really any customers?"

Thinking about the situation in the Elemental City, it was obviously incompatible with a leisure activity like fishing. Leon couldn't help but complain to Roche.

"Of course, fishing is a great recreational activity, and it's also a major means of obtaining food. There are many fishing enthusiasts in the Elemental City, and the explorers in our Explorers Guild basically all know how to fish. Do you think he's short of customers?" Roche explained.

"Then let's walk and see what good things there are in this area's fishing tackle shops."

Upon hearing this, Leon entered the store with Roche. As soon as he entered, Leon was attracted by the fish tank placed at the door.

The fish tank is not too big, about 30 centimeters high, one meter long and about 40 centimeters wide. It has an ordinary shape and is made of glass. There are no aquatic plants, stones or other landscaping in the tank. You can only see water and fish.

Interestingly, Leon knew a lot of fish here, but he had never seen one of such a small size.

"Guest, are you interested?"

Seeing Leon and Roche coming in, the shop owner who was tying the thread on the reel immediately put down his work and came over to ask.

"A little bit. I'm mainly curious about why these fish are so small. They don't look like fry." Leon nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha, all customers who come to our store for the first time have this question. It's actually very simple because this is a magic fish tank."

After the boss said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a small fish that looked like a silver carp from the fish tank. When the fish left the water in the fish tank and was displayed in front of Leon, its size had changed from the size of an embroidery needle to a normal size. Its body, more than half a meter long, struggled frantically in the boss's hand. It was obviously very scared of being out of water.

After the show, the boss threw it back into the fish tank. Leon clearly saw that the fish shrank rapidly the moment it touched the fish tank.

"The Magic Fish Tank will save you from the hassle of having to worry about a large fish pond. You can place it at home and fulfill your fish farming needs. Since this is your first time, I'll give you a discount. You only need to pay 2WG to take it away."
