A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 725 Open the crystal ball!

After washing the pots and pans, Robin returned to his work.

Leon also cleaned his backpack, but did not take out the bait and fishing rod. Instead, he took all the crystal balls in the box with him.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. If it weren't for opening the treasure chest, Leon would have almost forgotten that he had told Clint that he would ask him to open the crystal ball.

"The elves are very happy today. Obviously, you are going to have good luck."

Velvik's divination made Leon even more certain that this afternoon was indeed a good day to open the crystal ball. He stopped hesitating and took the crystal ball, five melted gold ingots, a steel pickaxe, and nothing else. He rode his bicycle and headed towards the blacksmith shop in Pelican Town.

"Hey, Leon, have you eaten yet?"

Clint opened the door and saw Leon coming. He immediately smiled, especially when he saw that Leon was holding two ice creams in his hands. His smile became even more enthusiastic.

"Pick one, blueberry and corn flavor. I don't know what you like, so I picked two common flavors."

Leon handed over the ice cream in his hand. He bought it from Alex when he passed by the library just now. It was 10G each, which was quite expensive. If it wasn't clearly marked, and Alex said it was Haley's handmade ice cream, made with fresh milk produced by Marnie Ranch and fresh fruit and vegetable juice purchased from Pierre, it was pure natural and pollution-free.

Leon would definitely go to Joja's supermarket to buy it. Joja's popsicles, ice cream and so on are only 3-6G, which is about double the price difference between the two.

"Then I'll have the corn one, thank you." Clint chose the ice cream with a bright yellow background, took it and thanked Leon.

"Don't be polite, eat first. After that, you and I have an important business to discuss." Leon reminded Clint with a smile.

"It's the opening of the crystal balls we talked about last time, right? How many crystal balls have you prepared?" Clint asked while eating ice cream.

"Here, they are all." Leon took out all the crystal balls in his backpack. Ordinary crystal balls, ice crystal balls, lava crystal balls, and the smallest number of universal crystal balls were divided into four piles. There were many more than Clint had expected.

After a careful count, Clint concluded, "The price is uniformly 25G each. You have 114 of them, so I'll round off the price, so 2750G."

"I thought you were going to make it 2000G directly." Leon joked.

"Um, okay." Clint hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

"No, I'm just kidding. Seriously, 2750, I'm giving it to you. It's enough to make up for the remainder of the 4 crystal balls. 100G can buy 10 ice creams. I'm making a lot of money." Leon hurriedly stopped him.

After all, this is hard-earned money. 114 crystal balls mean that Clint has to concentrate on swinging the sledgehammer 114 times. It may not seem like a lot, but opening a crystal ball is not like forging iron. The skill and concentration required to smash the crystal ball are extremely energy-consuming. Leon doesn't want to exploit Clint, an honest man.

"Then let's make it 2700, to make it an even number." Clint looked at Leon hurriedly taking out the gift card, and felt a little touched. He gave Leon another 50G change.

If someone else heard this offer, they might have happily agreed, but Leon was not like that. This made Clint certain that Leon was indeed the kind of good friend who did not intend to take advantage of him.

However, if it was the kind of so-called friend who was looking to take advantage of him, Clint felt that he would not lower the price, and would not even take the money for the four crystal balls.

After receiving the money, Clint quickly devoured the cone and ice cream. Then he came to the iron felt, picked up a large hammer that looked like it was made of iridium, and said, "Leon, give me a hand. You put the crystal ball on the iron felt and I'll smash it."

"Do I need to stand further away to avoid getting hurt by the fragments?" Leon asked. "Hahaha, no need. You have to trust my craftsmanship. The crystal ball fragments will only remain on the iron felt." Clint replied confidently.

"Then open the ordinary crystal ball first."

Lyon put all the crystal balls on the ground into his backpack, and then stood next to the iron felt. Without doing anything, he thought about it, and a brown egg-shaped ordinary crystal ball fell on the iron felt.

"Ah!"

With a muffled groan, Clint swung the hammer and smashed it hard against the crystal ball on the iron felt. With a crack, a sound like glass breaking was heard. When Clint raised the hammer, the round crystal ball had been completely shattered into powder, revealing what was wrapped inside.

It was not the clay and copper ore that Leon was afraid of seeing, but an irregular yellow crystal with a few fluorescent spots. Its purity was not as transparent as that of citrine, and its color was lighter.

"Calcite, this is a mineral that is very suitable for making interior decorations." Clint also saw the collection left by the crystal ball and explained it to Leon with a smile.

"Keep the extra ones as ornaments. I plan to donate this one to a museum, as well as the subsequent ones. So, Clint, I hope you can keep an eye on it and ensure the integrity of the special minerals inside." Leon looked at Clint seriously and advised.

This was what he had agreed upon with Gunther before. Gunther had prepared a lot of good things for Leon, but it was a pity that Leon had never given him an excuse to send these things out.

If we talk about the collections in the museum that occupy the largest proportion and are easiest to obtain, it is definitely the various non-mineral minerals. These 114 crystal balls can at least produce more than 30 different minerals, which can definitely help Leon resist Gunther's urging orders.

"Is that so, Leon? You're amazing." Clint immediately gave Leon a thumbs up when he heard that Leon actually wanted to donate these special minerals to the museum.

"How about this, if you donate more, I'll reduce the labor cost of a few crystal balls. It can also be considered as helping to rebuild the library's collection room. When I was a child, my favorite thing was to go to the library to see various mineral exhibitions. I hope that the children of Pelican Town will have the same opportunity in the future." Clint said to Leon seriously.

"I hope you won't reject me, really, Leon, I'm from Pelican Town too."

"Okay." Looking at Clint's serious face, Leon didn't intend to spoil the fun. After all, Clint was really willing to do this.

"Okay, let's continue. I have a feeling that we can collect all the minerals that can be mined from the crystal balls today." Clint heard Leon's words and urged Leon with great enthusiasm.

"Ah."

Leon threw another crystal ball, and Clint continued to swing the hammer.

This time, a green flat crystal was opened, which looked a bit like jade, but the texture was thicker than jade, and the color was richer, like the glass used to make old beer bottles.

"Malachite is also a mineral that is very suitable for making ornaments, and it is also a very popular material in the fields of sculpture and pigments." Clint knew the names and characteristics of these minerals like the back of his hand, and he immediately introduced the details of the newly discovered minerals to Leon.

"It's really beautiful. It's another mineral that can be sent to a museum as an exhibit. We're lucky." Lyon nodded at Clint and agreed.

"Put it away and let's continue." Clint stretched his arms and called to Leon. If his luck continued to be this good today, then the goal of collecting all the special minerals mentioned before might really be achieved.
