A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 726: You can’t live in a house if you lick a dog
"Mud and stone, don't underestimate them, but they took a long time to form. These muds may be the product of ancient times."

"It looks a bit like chocolate."

"Slate, a type of volcanic rock, is formed in a similar way to obsidian, but is easier to obtain."

"This is much harder than obsidian."

"This is good. This is called Thunder Egg. Legend has it that it was a weapon thrown at each other during ancient battles by thunder gods. But in fact, it is actually a mineral formed by the decomposition of some ancient plants."

"I guess it's because the purple crystal inside has lightning-shaped cracks inside, which is why it has been given such a legend."

"Oh! Petrified slime! That's not very common. I've often heard that if you find a petrified slime, it's like you've witnessed the history of an ancient creature that may have existed for 10 years."

"Is it really that long? I doubt it."

Opening the crystal ball is a very interesting process. In this part, Clint seems to have opened up his chatterbox. When he sees a new thing, he will explain it to Leon. Leon will not let the words go on the floor. He plays the role of a straight man, making jokes and saying dirty words in response to Clint's explanation.

This is also a way of chatting. At least it will make the process less boring. Clint doesn't mind. Instead, he thinks Leon's complaints are very appropriate.

"Have a break?"

After opening more than ten crystal balls in a row, beads of sweat appeared on Clint's forehead and his breathing became much louder. When Leon noticed this, he immediately made a suggestion to Clint.

"Let's finish this batch before taking a break. I'm not tired yet." Clint shook his head and refused.

"Then go ahead. If you're not in a hurry, let's take it slow." Leon reminded.

"Ah."

Clint responded, then swung the sledgehammer again, smashing the new crystal ball that Leon had placed.

This time, what was opened were no longer minerals, but two copper ores. Clint's expression was obviously a little disappointed, but Leon didn't think so. After all, there were all kinds of things in the crystal ball, and the probability of opening something like ores was not small.

He had been opening special minerals before purely out of luck. Leon didn't think that every crystal ball contained special minerals.

"Come again!"

Clint shouted at Leon in dissatisfaction. As the next crystal ball was placed on the iron felt, Clint quickly hit it with a hammer, and the crystal ball shattered. A copper helmet that was several times larger than the crystal ball appeared on the iron felt.

"A dwarf helmet. It's an antique. I'm lucky." Clint recognized the origin of the helmet at first sight.

Leon also recognized it, after all, it was the same model as the dwarves in the mine. However, he still felt that the scene of a motorcycle helmet opening out of a fist-sized crystal ball was too outrageous, after all, the size difference between the two was too big.

But what if this was Stardew Valley? Leon was no longer surprised by these unscientific scenes.

"A lost helmet is not only an antique, it is also the relic of a dead dwarf." Lyon sighed as he picked up the heavy dwarf helmet.

"After all, they are a race that mines underground all year round. The dangers they may encounter are much greater than on land. So, Leon, you must pay attention to safety when you go down the mine. The situation inside the mine is complicated and changeable, and there are traces of monsters. You must be cautious about every potential danger." Clint reminded Leon.

"Don't worry. I'm a skilled miner now, and a registered explorer with the Explorers' Guild. I'm pretty stable," Leon replied, flashing a gleaming smile of eight teeth. "Well, let's continue," Clint nodded, believing what Leon said was true.

In the following time, the two worked together. Clint used great strength and smashed all the ordinary crystal balls in one breath, including the frozen crystal balls. Then he put down the sledgehammer on his own initiative, found the chilled wheat juice, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Why don't you take a break?" Seeing Clint swinging the sledgehammer again after drinking the wheat juice, Leon couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm just thirsty. Don't underestimate me. After all, I deal with these metals every day." Clint rolled up his sleeves to show off his strong arms and exaggerated biceps to Leon.

"You have a nice figure. If you shave clean and put on some form-fitting clothes that show off your curves and muscular features, I believe you'll be a favorite of many girls."

Looking at Clint's skin color and muscle proportions, Leon sighed and said that if Clint didn't wear his tattered work clothes and a dark blue apron all day long, and dressed like an ordinary person, he would definitely not be single now.

"Ah? If it's really as you said, do you think I can attract Emily's attention?" Clint was stunned for a moment, then asked Leon nervously.

"Well, I think it's uncertain." Although Leon couldn't bear it, he still answered sincerely.

After all, Emily really has no romantic feelings for Clint, not to mention that Emily's focus is still on herself.

Instead of comforting Clint, it is better to let him face the reality as soon as possible and give up the idea of ​​being a bootlicker. After all, a bootlicker cannot get a house. Does he have to hang himself on a tree if he has the conditions?

If it were Lyon, he would rely on the income from the monopoly of the mining and smelting businesses in the entire Pelican Town.

With all his strength and tough physique, at Clint's age, he would probably have had a whole bunch of children. How could he still not have been in a relationship at the age of over 30?

Although being honest is a good quality, it is not a good sign in terms of love. There is nothing wrong with being infatuated, but if the infatuation leads to no results, then you are asking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but ask: "Do you really have to fight Emily to death?"

"But, apart from Emily, I haven't had much contact with other girls. Emily is the only girl who smiles at me and greets me actively." Clint said this with a silly smile on his face, like a fool.

"Well, but Emily is like this to everyone." Emily's personality is that of a very likable girl who is full of kindness and enthusiasm towards others. Leon knows this very well, so he thinks Clint's reason is not very tenable.

"I know, but I just like it. You probably don't understand this feeling, Leon." Clint lowered his head instantly after hearing this, his tone full of envy.

"I'm not very good at talking, and I don't dare to speak to girls. I'm the opposite of you. I know I'm not the type of person girls like, but I still want to start my own family and experience the beauty of love."

Clint looked up, his eyes moist as he spoke these words.

"Oh." Leon sighed when he heard that. He understood Clint, but understanding was one thing and feelings were another. Even if Clint really kept waiting like this, there would probably not be any happy ending. The biggest possibility was that he would get nothing and would have to drink alone at Emily's wedding.

Whether out of friendship or sympathy for Clint, Leon felt that he might have to do something. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Let him recognize the situation earlier and broaden his horizons. Perhaps it would be more appropriate than the unrequited love he has now.

　Thanks to the boss of Dada Yaya for the reward of 500 starting coins. Thank you, boss. You are so generous. I wish you good health. I love you!
