A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 688: Nature is Irreversible

"I can explain."

In order to prevent Abigail from exploding with anger, Leon stood up and took Abigail into his arms, whispering in her ear.

"Emily was charmed. I admit that I did have feelings for her, but that was before you and I were together. I was single at that time, so that's easy to understand, right? But Hailey, I promise I really don't have any romantic feelings for her."

"Do you think I will believe you?" Abigail asked Leon with a stern face.

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. I think there may be a deviation in my understanding of the effect of Lust and Temperance. This ability does not seem to be as simple as I thought." Leon continued to explain.

"I don't believe it. If this ability has an indiscriminate impact, then why didn't Robin feel anything when we met her this morning?" Abigail complained.

"Maybe she only likes black ones?"

"."

"Ahem, just kidding. I think it's probably because she is a married woman." Leon speculated with a light cough.

"So what does this prove?" Abigail demanded.

"At least I don't like married women." Leon added seriously.

Abigail rolled her eyes at Leon, then broke free from Leon's arms and threatened.

"I don't know what your situation is, but I'll give you one more chance. Leah and Sofia will be here soon. If you can still influence them then, then you'd better come up with a reason that I can understand."

"No reason is needed. You just need to know that I love you." Leon hugged Abigail forcefully again, mumbling these glib words in a pinched throat that made her feel uncomfortable.

Although it was quite greasy, Abigail seemed to enjoy it and did not resist. Her face was flushed as if she was drunk.

There was the effect of verbal offensive, as well as the alluring effect of lust and restraint, but this time Leon did not suppress his own influence.

"Then let's go back." Abigail, who was dizzy at the moment, only had Leon in her eyes, and her eyes were full of aggression.

At this moment, she didn't want to waste time here at all. She just wanted to go back and have a fierce battle with Leon.

"Don't worry, being a pigeon won't end well, and there are other people around." In addition to her eyes, Abigail's hands also began to become dishonest, which frightened Leon. He quickly threw out the desire suppressant and reminded her at the same time.

"Damn bastard, can't you just control your crappy ability?" Abigail, who had regained her composure, thought of her recent outrageous behavior, feeling both ashamed and angry.

"It's a passive effect. There's nothing I can do about it." Leon explained helplessly.

"Forget it, I'll teach you a lesson later." Noticing that Emily and Haley were secretly glancing at her, Abigail had to let Leon go for the time being, but she still did not forget to threaten Leon.

As soon as Leon let go of his arm, Abigail immediately left Leon's side, kept a safe distance from him, and looked around randomly, trying to ease her embarrassment.

After this incident, Leon barely survived the crisis. While breathing a sigh of relief, he was also thinking about the effect of lust and restraint on other people.

But this thing couldn't be figured out by sheer imagination, so Leon could only turn to the system, whose presence was extremely weak. "System, come out and explain the product. What exactly is this Lust and Moderation?"

"This ability entry is not a system conversion and cannot provide any explanation. Please explore it on your own."

Although the system unexpectedly responded to Leon's inquiry, the explanation given cannot be said to be useless, but it can only be said to be completely unhelpful.

But it is not a useless question, because the phrase "non-systematic transformation" in this answer can explain many problems.

"Does that explain the situation with forest magic?"

"Forest Magic: You possess the magic of the forest"

"Does that explain the situation of desire taking control?"

"This ability entry is not a system conversion and cannot provide any explanation. Please explore it on your own."

After two attempts, the results were obvious. It seemed that the ability bestowed by the fallen god was beyond the scope of the system. Although it was also reflected in the ability panel, the system seemed to have only made an introduction and registration of an entry.

This discovery is very interesting. Does it mean that the remains of this god possess abilities that the system cannot analyze, or that they are above the system?
In fact, until now, Leon still couldn't quite understand the situation of the system. At first, he thought it was a cheat code commonly used by time travelers, but later he found that this system was basically no different from the one in Stardew Valley, and he thought it was a relic of the transformation between the game and reality.

Now he discovered that the system seemed unable to interfere with certain special powers, which made Leon wonder whether the reason he could absorb the power of the remains of the fallen god was because of some special characteristics of his own, rather than relying on the system.

If this is true, then it would be very clear where this special ability to absorb the power of gods and avoid being affected comes from.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as Lyon was brainstorming, Abigail, who had recovered, couldn't help but come closer to Lyon and ask.

"I'm thinking about that Lust and Temperance ability," Leon said seriously. "I have a feeling it's not as simple as I thought. There must be a lot of information buried that I don't know about, including its triggering conditions and so on."

"Are you sure you really don't have any feelings for Haley?" Seeing that Leon was really struggling with the special ability that could charm others and arouse their desires, Abigail began to believe that Leon was not lying before.

"I'm sure that if I really have any feelings for Haley, it's at most out of a man's instinctive attention to beautiful women, but to say that I have a crush on her is absolutely nonsense." Leon nodded seriously and answered.

After all, whether you like someone or not is best known to yourself. He may be attracted by Hailey's figure and appearance, but as for love, that's not the case at all, otherwise Leon wouldn't often ignore Hailey.

“What you said is really a jerk.” Abigail didn’t know whether to call Leon a pervert or praise him for being self-aware for his honesty.

"It's easy to understand, actually. Don't you like looking at the muscular guys in bodybuilding magazines or the handsome actors in TV dramas? This is an extension of the reproductive impulse engraved in the DNA of living things. It's not something you can control just because you want to." Lyon explained.

"This is the first time I've heard someone describe lust in such a refreshing and refined way." Abigail complained to Leon, covering her face.

"Food and sex are human nature. Eating and shivering are the instincts of living things. We can't ignore this nature just for the sake of face." Leon retorted seriously.
