A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 673 Special Gift

When Leon got home, he immediately took his clothes and went to take a shower. His body was full of the smell of butter and chili. If he didn't wash, Leon was afraid that he would get hungry in the middle of the night from smelling the smell.

Leon walked out of the bathroom refreshed, finished washing his clothes, and went upstairs.

The first thing I did when I entered the room was to turn on the air conditioner, then wrapped myself in the quilt and slept until dawn.

The first thing Leon did when he opened his eyes in the morning was to get dressed and go downstairs to wash and cook.

Because they were going to the mine today, they made portable pancakes for breakfast. In addition to his own share, Lyon also made a few more and left them for Robin. Although they were a bit shabby for a work meal, it was impossible for Lyon to go back into the mine and make lunch just for Robin.

After making the pancakes, Lyon stuffed the steaming scallion pancakes into his backpack, then went out to inspect the fields and then took a walk around the chicken coop. Although one wall had been demolished, the hens did not seem to be frightened or uncomfortable. There were still eggs left on the ground that they had prepared for Lyon, and when Lyon appeared, they still gathered around him enthusiastically.

After feeding these shiny hens several handfuls of rice and looking at these big, plump chickens, Leon left the chicken coop with satisfaction, carrying the eggs.

After taking a look around the cave, Leon returned to the house to pack up and wait for Robin to arrive.

Robin showed up much earlier than Leon expected. At around 7:30, he heard the roar of the pickup truck driven by Robin.

Leon followed the sound and went out. He told Robin that he was going out today and expected to be back in the evening. If Robin needed anything, he could go into the house and do it himself. He then took out the pancakes he had prepared.

"Hahaha, I was just kidding. How could I possibly eat your food every day? I brought some." Seeing the pancakes that Leon took out, Robin laughed and took the lunch box he brought from the car.

"But I'll accept these pancakes. I can't let your kindness go to waste. Go and do your thing."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

After explaining things to Robin, Leon left through the northern exit of the farm.

After passing through the remote forest, bypassing the northern foothills, passing by Linus's tent, and going downhill to the mine lake, the entrance to the mine was just across the single-plank bridge. However, since he didn't bring any equipment with him, Leon naturally had to go to the Explorer's Guild.

There was no need to knock on the door because he had a spare key. After opening the door of the Explorer's Guild, Leon saw the familiar scene.

Malone was wiping and oiling his weapon for maintenance, Jill was leaning on a recliner, swaying and yawning while reading a newspaper, and Leon, who had just walked in, all the members of the Stardew Valley Explorers Guild were gathered together again.

"You're here so early in the morning, you're going to the mine, right?"

Seeing Leon appear, Ma Long stopped what he was doing and took out the box containing the Icethorn Hide Suit: "We are all family now, so I won't charge you this time. Just use it, but remember to return it. If it is damaged, you will have to pay for it."

"Wow, the president doesn't want to charge money. This is rare." Lyon was quite surprised to see that Ma Long, who was always greedy for money, would take the initiative to propose not to ask for the rental fee.

"Before, you were a junior explorer, so naturally, you didn't have these benefits. But now it's different. After you returned from the Falling Star Land, the Blade Head promoted you to A-level. Naturally, you can enjoy the benefits of an A-level explorer."

Malone explained.

"Not all explorers can venture deep into the Land of Falling Stars and escape unscathed. If you weren't still a farmer, I think headquarters would at least give you an X rating."

"I didn't do anything, mainly because they didn't want to kill me." Leon was still embarrassed about having reached A-rank. After all, his safe return this time was due to a series of coincidences. "It wasn't easy. Although I don't know what happened over there, this rescue operation has brought a lot of peace to the border of the Starfall Land. There seems to be a problem with the Lost Hearts too. They haven't been seen moving around recently. The higher-ups think it's your credit. When we were evacuating, we saw a huge explosion. Camilla in Castle Village said it might be your trap that worked."

Ma Long's face was filled with satisfaction as he spoke of this: "One hundred superbombs exploding simultaneously is no joke. It's a pity that the number is still a little small, otherwise it would have killed at least one or two high-ranking members of the Lost Mind."

"Yeah, it's a pity that he wasn't killed by the explosion." Lyon also agreed. If he could really kill a high-ranking Madman, he would probably get a lot of combat experience. However, being able to make the other party look bad was also a relief.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Take your equipment and go to the mines. With you exploring the mines lately, my work has become much easier. There are fewer monsters coming out of the mines now. If you could go there more often, maybe I could just stay in the guild and wait for death like Jill."

Malone opened the box and called out to Leon.

After Leon stepped forward to accept the Icethorn Beast Skin Set, he did not forget the gift he brought.

When four bottles of wine with the Blue Moon Estate label were placed on the table, not to mention Malone, even the always calm Gill cast his eyes over.

"This is?"

"It's a gift to thank you for your assistance last time. I was drunk before and couldn't express it, so I'm making up for it this time." Leon explained.

"As expected, the farmer has a lot of connections. Ever since Blue Moon Wine announced the temporary suspension of production, the stock of Blue Moon Wine on the market has plummeted. Not only is it priceless, but it's also impossible to get without connections. You're really thoughtful."

Ma Long rubbed his hands and carefully picked up a bottle of Blue Moon wine and sighed.

"Well done, boy." Jill couldn't help but shout to Leon, then he stood up and walked to Leon's side, quietly stuffing something into Leon's hand.

"This is a gift for your promotion to A-rank explorer. I hope you like it."

"Thank you."

Leon was a little amused and helpless about Jill's gift. If he hadn't taken out the four bottles of wine, only God knew whether Jill would give him this gift. These old foxes would not give up until they saw the rabbit.

But even though he complained, Leon still wanted to see what Jill had given him. He opened his palm and saw that it was a ring.

"Slime Ring: Prevents slime damage."

"What a good thing." Seeing this ring without any attributes but only one characteristic, Leon couldn't help but admire it.

Because this thing is a special attack ring against slimes. No matter what type of slime, as long as it encounters a person wearing this ring, it will be a toothless paper tiger. With this ring, you are the boss among slimes.

This was supposed to be a special ring that was only given after killing 1000 slimes in total and achieving the Monster Hunter achievement Slime. Jill actually gave it to him just like that, which was really a great gift.

"It's indeed a good thing, but it's only available this time. If you want to get this special equipment for monsters again, you have to complete the hunting mission. This is the hunting catalog. You can get a unique reward from me for each one you complete. Keep up the good work." Jill patted Leon on the shoulder and handed him a scroll to encourage him.
