A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 718 Better

After finishing the work at the chicken coop, Lyon returned to the fields. His speculation yesterday was correct. A batch of crops had indeed matured. These crops were naturally the plants with the shortest growth cycle, and parsnips and carrots were the representatives of them.

In addition to these two things, the strawberries planted last quarter are still growing and producing large, red fruits, waiting for Lyon to pick them.

What Leon cared about most was naturally the gem berry that was sprinkled with the sand of time yesterday. Now, there was a strawberry-shaped fruit hanging on the gem berry plant, but the fruit did not look like a plant at all. Instead, it looked like a work of art carved from an orange gem. Even the leaves on the fruit were emerald green, reflecting dazzling pearlescent light in the sun.

"Jewelberry: It's far sweeter than anything you've ever tasted."

The picked gem berries felt unexpectedly soft in Lyon's hands, but they were not light in weight, about three or two taels.

"Long-term farming work has given you a new understanding of planting, and your farming level has been raised by one level.

You already have some experience and understanding of farming. If you want to go further, you need to decide to focus on a career direction. Please choose your career and development direction.

Livestock farmers: The quality of livestock products has been steadily improving.

Farmers: The quality of crops has been steadily improved. "

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve accumulated enough experience points, and the Gem Sweet Berry is the last straw that breaks through the experience bar, or if the farming experience of the Gem Sweet Berry is very high, which directly fills up the experience bar. Anyway, after I got the Gem Sweet Berry, the system prompt came.

Without any hesitation, Lyon directly chose the profession of farmer and didn't even want to look at the livestock herder.

After all, animal husbandry is just a supplement for Lyon, and the farmland and crops on the farm are always the main force.

What surprised Lyon was that after he chose the farmer profession, he found that the gem sweetberry in his hand had visibly expanded. Although the size of the expansion was not obvious, Lyon was sure that it had really become bigger, including the weight.

Looking at the stems and leaves of the ripe strawberries, parsnips and carrots and the roots exposed on the ground, they seem to be a little bigger than before. It is not very obvious, but there is definitely a change.

Lyon was certain that this change was related to the farmer's profession, but he didn't expect it to be so obvious. As soon as he successfully joined the job, the effect of the profession was directly highlighted, affecting the crops in the entire field, even the gem sweet berries he had just picked were affected.

The effect was so significant that it even had a sense of the power of rules, which gave Lyon a further understanding of the system.

Although this guy has always had a low presence, what he gives is really awesome.

In order to verify the effectiveness of the farmer's profession, Leon put the gem sweet berry into his bag, and then immediately pulled out a carrot.

The loose soil did not pose much of a hindrance to Lyon. He grabbed a slender carrot by the stems and leaves and unearthed it with a little soil.

Leon left the field with the carrot and returned to the house. He rummaged through the treasure chest and found two carrots he had stored before. He compared them with the carrot that was still covered in mud.

Compared to the ordinary quality carrots harvested before, the one just pulled out is a circle larger, the skin is smoother, and the color is brighter.

But compared to the excellent quality, that is, the Silver Star carrot, this new carrot seems a little small.

This confirmed to Leon that the Farmer's bonus to crops would likely be somewhere between average and excellent quality. "What a shame."

Originally, Lyon thought that this enhancement effect would directly upgrade all crops to excellent quality, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

However, this result is acceptable. Although it is not the excellent quality of a fixed silver star, Lyon believes that the price of crops affected by the effect of farmers will definitely be higher than that of ordinary quality.

This is a permanent change, meaning that all crops will always be one level higher than the normal quality of the same type.

In this way, the crops produced by Red Star Farm can be sold at a better price, and the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce can distinguish the output of Red Star Farm from that of other farms at a glance, making the crops of Red Star Farm more outstanding.

A sure win of fame and fortune.

With this reference and comparison, Leon was curious about the possible excellent quality or whether high-quality crops would also receive the same beneficial effects. He hurried back to the field and began picking all the ripe parsnips, carrots and strawberries.

After all the ripe crops were collected by Lyon, he couldn't wait to return to the house, took out the reserved high-quality strawberries, and compared them with the largest strawberries he had just picked.

It was discovered that the newly picked high-quality strawberries were indeed affected by the farmer. They were larger in size and brighter in color than the previous high-quality strawberries. This proves that the farmer's professional effect does have an amplifying effect on all crops and their quality.

After confirming the good news, Leon put this strawberry and the high-quality strawberry used for comparison into his backpack. He felt a little regretful when he found that the two could be stacked in one storage compartment.

He originally thought that strawberries that were higher than high-quality strawberries should be able to reach Iridium quality, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

"I don't know what Iridium-quality crops look like." Lyon was actually quite curious about this highest quality crop.

After all, high-quality crops can already enhance the vitality and lifespan of users, so it is even more worth looking forward to what effect the iridium, which is even better than it, will have. What if it can bring people back to life?

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking it. Although he couldn't grow iridium-quality crops now, it didn't mean that other farmers in the world couldn't grow them. If the effect was really that amazing, he would have heard such information from Lasmodes or Linus a long time ago.

After leaving the supplies, Leon threw all the carrots, parsnips, and ordinary-quality strawberries harvested today in the system backpack into the shipping box, leaving only the five high-quality strawberries he had just picked and the high-quality strawberry he had reserved before.

After all, the taste and flavor of high-quality strawberries can be said to be a top-level enjoyment. Lyon naturally keeps such good things for his own people to eat.

Moreover, strawberries are a fruit that almost everyone likes. They are also an excellent choice as gifts, and it is always beneficial to keep them.

In addition to strawberries, Lyon will consider keeping some high-quality crops in the future.

After all, he is not short of money now. Naturally, the more of this kind of good thing that can enhance physical fitness and increase life expectancy, the better. This is not only for Lyon himself, but also for the people around Lyon and his future children.

With high-quality crops as supplements and reinforcements, Lyon can avoid the sad scene of seeing his loved ones die. Possessing forest magic, Lyon is not sure how long he can live, but he will definitely live much longer than ordinary people.
