A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 622 Lu Bu Riding a Dog
"I have quite a bit of strength."

Although Lyon sighed like this, his hands did not stop moving at all. Even though the fish was very strong in the water, for Lyon now, it was just a little more effort.

As long as the fishing rod is strong enough and the fishing line is tough enough, Leon can pull out the fish struggling to escape from the water.

As the fishing line was reeled in, the hook hanging on the already taut fishing line successfully dragged the greedy wood leaping fish to the surface of the water. The struggling wood leaping fish twisted its tail vigorously, slapping the water surface and splashing a lot of water. Unfortunately, the wood leaping fish, which was already half out of the water, no longer had the strength it had before. The lack of oxygen caused by dehydration made its movements become much slower.

"rise!"

Lyon also felt that it was about time. He took half a step back, exerted force with his waist and arms, and directly raised the fishing rod. He pulled the wooden leaping fish that was firmly hanging on the hook directly out of the water. It drew a perfect arc in the air and finally fell heavily to the ground.

This is a big guy, Lyon estimated that it is about 75 cm long, which is already top-notch among wood-leaping fish. It is covered with reddish-brown scales with dull markings on the scales. It looks a bit like tree bark overall, and its body shape is also unique. It is cylindrical in shape. Except for the slightly shrunk tail, the head and body are basically the same diameter.

The dorsal and pelvic fins are even more slender. If you look at the whole fish from a distance, if you don't count the tail, it will feel like a piece of dead wood, and the fins are the forked branches.

After admiring the unique shape of the wooden leaping fish, Lyon picked it up, removed the hook, stuffed it into his backpack, and put away his fishing rod.

The target fish had been caught, so Leon naturally would not continue fishing, nor did he want to disturb Brother Bear, so he took back the fishing rod and left the secret forest directly.

Following the path back to the Red Star Farm, Leon stuffed the wooden leaping fish into the box, took out the fishing rod, removed the existing reel, and began to assemble the iridium reel he had purchased in the Elemental City.

With this line set worth 5000G, Leon felt that there should be no big creature in Stardew Valley that could break the fishing line again, and the unfrozen waters on the 60th floor of the mine and the 100C lava lake that he had avoided before would no longer pose a devastating threat to the fishing line.

This set of iridium reels also comes with two fish hooks, but Lyon doesn’t like double-groove ones, so he only tied one and kept the other as a spare.

After working for a long time, Lyon finally replaced the line group. He was a little unfamiliar with it for the first time, and in order to avoid the line from breaking, Lyon reeled the line himself again. But the result was good. At least now the reel of the line group is very regular. As long as the line group is not dragged dry and there is no need to rush when reeling in, the line group will basically not get tangled.

Lyon was quite satisfied with the new line set. Although he had not tried it yet, he pulled it a few times while reeling it in and noticed that its strength was comparable to that of a steel rope and it was extremely sharp. Even though he had consciously made some defensive preparations, his fingers were still easily scratched by it.

Fortunately, Lyon's recovery ability is still very strong. With his abundant life force, this small wound healed completely in just a few minutes. Not to mention scars, even scabs didn't appear. I'm afraid he doesn't deserve to call an ambulance.

Leon, who has successfully evolved into a fisherman, is quite looking forward to this new line set. He glanced at the time and saw that it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. Today's farm work was done and there was no reason to stay on the farm. Leon excitedly took the magic bait in the box and rode his bicycle towards the beach.

When it comes to catching big fish, anglers will tell you that the sea is the best place to fish.

Although there are not many giants in the ocean in spring, it is different with the magic bait, so Leon wants to go to the beach to try it out, and by the way, collect the target fish in the sacrifice package among the sea fish.

After passing through Pelican Town, before arriving at the beach, Leon stuffed his bicycle into his backpack, then stepped on the soft and fine sand and landed on the pier.

As soon as he got onto the dock, Lyon noticed a familiar figure, a bright red pilling sweater, jeans that had been washed to a pale color, and an old brown felt hat. Without even looking at the face, Lyon knew it was Willy.

“Hey, Leon, long time no see. It’s rare to see you come here to fish.”

Willy, who was sitting on the dock, facing the sea and enjoying the breeze, heard footsteps behind him and immediately turned his head. When he saw it was Leon, he stood up from his chair in surprise, walked up to Leon and gave him a big hug.

"It's been a while, but it's not like I haven't fished. It's just that I spend most of my time in the Secret Forest and the mining lakes in the northern foothills." Leon explained, patting Willy on the back.

He had only seen Willy twice since last Easter, but it had only been a passing moment, a simple hello. It had indeed been a while since they last met. "Oh, I thought you'd given up fishing," Willy sighed.

"That can't be possible. After all, I really enjoy the satisfaction that fishing brings me." Leon joked to Willy, then quickly took out his fishing rod and hung a colorful magic bait on the hook.

"Oh? Where did you get this fishing line and bait?"

Willy was an expert in fishing. He was not surprised to see that Leon was still using the fiberglass fishing rod he had bought from him before. However, he was stunned when he saw that Leon's fishing line was not original and reflected a faint purple luster in the sun, and the bait looked more like rainbow candy.

Because he had never seen these two things.

"I bought this while traveling. This fishing line is mixed with iridium powder. This bait is also amazing. It's made with magical ingredients. It can catch all kinds of fish in a body of water, regardless of the season or weather."

Leon showed off to Willy very proudly.

"No wonder you can see this purple sheen. I didn't expect fishing line could be made with iridium. I thought iridium fishing rods incorporating iridium were the pinnacle of fishing tackle, but I didn't expect there's a process for adding iridium powder to fishing line. That's quite a feat."

As an insider, Willy naturally understands the strength of the fishing line after adding iridium ingots. This thing can be used for deep-sea fishing for giant squid and sharks, let alone near-shore fishing.

This made him drool, and he immediately asked, "How much did you spend on this line set and fishing line?"

"5000G." Leon replied.

"hiss"

Willy took a deep breath when he heard this. The price was almost as high as that of an iridium fishing rod, and this was just a line set. He immediately gave up the urge to buy one.

Because 5000G is really not cheap, and this thing is not a necessity, he was still a little reluctant to part with it, and immediately complained to Leon sourly.

"It's a good thing, but it's a waste to put it on a fiberglass fishing rod. How about buying an iridium fishing rod from me? Don't let the fishing line break because the rod can't withstand the pulling force."

Leon thought it made sense, but the fiberglass rod was still working, and he still had some spare cash. Buying a new one felt a bit wasteful, so he said, "Let's just use it like this for now. I'll replace it if it breaks."

"Oh, what a waste." Willy couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

It's a pity that he is not from Earth, otherwise he would have to complain that Lyon's current fishing gear configuration is the standard Lu Bu riding a dog.

"It's okay, as long as it works. By the way, aren't you interested in this magic bait that can attract all fish regardless of the season and weather?" Lyon was still a little unwilling to show off after only showing off halfway, so when he saw that Willy didn't mention the magic bait, he immediately reminded Lyon.

"I'm not interested. Even if you catch fish outside the fishing season, they won't be plump enough. This seemingly magical bait is actually not worth much." Willy shook his head and complained.

　I've been busy with some things recently, so there will be fewer updates. I'll find a chance to catch up with you later. Sorry.
