A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 728 Gunther's Collection

"There are a total of 31 minerals on display. Together with the antiques you donated earlier, we are now one-third complete. What an incredible progress, Leon!"

After counting the different types of special minerals, Gunther stood up and gave Leon a big hug.

"On behalf of the library, I thank you for your selfless contribution, so I will give you a corresponding gift as a reward for your enthusiastic help."

"Don't be in a hurry. Why don't you put these things in the display case first?" Leon was quite looking forward to Gunther's reward, but he didn't come here just for the reward, so he didn't seem excited.

"I have to take my time with this job, because if I want to successfully exhibit them, it's not just about putting them in a display case. I also have to write about their origins, introductions, and value. These are not tasks that can be completed in a few hours, so I can take my time."

Gunther explained, then pushed the remaining boxes in front of Leon: "You can take the extra ones. Only one is enough for the exhibit."

"If we don't keep them as backup, it might cause some of the exhibits to be stolen or damaged," Lyon joked.

"No one can do these things in the area I manage." Gunther replied confidently.

"Okay, I'll take it away then."

Although there were still quite a few minerals left, there was no problem putting them into the backpack, so this time Leon didn't hold the box in his hands, but directly put everything inside into the system backpack.

As for the empty box, Gunther kicked it directly into the corner: "Then I will keep this box to store some miscellaneous items. Come on, I will take you to get the reward."

Gunther pulled Leon to the counter in the front hall, and Gunther took out the key and opened a door.

Originally, Lyon thought that Gunther's room was behind the door, but when the scene behind the door appeared in front of Lyon, Lyon widened his eyes in surprise.

Because this is a small warehouse. Although it doesn't look big, the things piled up in the warehouse are all unique.

The three walls are covered with various framed paintings, the ground is covered with sculptures and various strange works of art, as well as dolls and furniture. In one corner, you can even see a technological instrument.

"Are these all gifts prepared for me?" Leon asked, swallowing his saliva.

"Some of it is, and the rest is from my personal collection," Gunther explained.

"So, what's my reward?" Leon asked.

"follow me."

Gunther entered the warehouse first, then took Leon to the wall and pointed at two paintings in green tones, one depicting mountains and the other depicting a mountain scene at night.

"These two paintings are yours now. Take them and take them back."

"Can I choose a different one? Although the sky color is different, they all have mountains painted on them, which feels a bit repetitive." The reward is the same as in the game, but there is no choice in the game. In real life, Leon wants to try to change one of them to a different style.

"Well, okay, then you can choose one from this wall." Gunther hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Leon's request.

"Then I want this one." Leon chose the painting of desert and camels on the right side of the two paintings without hesitation.

"'Traveler in the Desert'? You have good taste. It's truly a masterpiece." Gunther looked at Leon with surprise at his choice, but didn't stop him. "It's yours now. As for the other two, 'Ecological Mountain Night' and 'Emerald Mountain,' you choose one."

"Let's go for 'Emerald Mountain'. This one looks a bit bigger." Lyon didn't have much artistic appreciation ability. If he were asked to choose, he would only pick the big ones. This 'Emerald Mountain' was quite big, and it would be very suitable to hang on the wall of the living room.

Gunther rolled his eyes at Leon when he heard this, but didn't say much. He continued to walk forward with Leon and came to the pile of dolls.

"Since you like big ones, then for the third item, I'll give you this big Futan bear. Don't think it's just a simple doll; it's actually a reliable sofa and comforting prop. Just lying on it or hugging it can soothe your emotions and increase your sense of security. It's the perfect bedside companion for infants and toddlers during their growth."

Looking at the big blue bear doll in front of him that was more than two meters tall and one meter wide, Leon was quite satisfied, not to mention that this thing had special effects.

"Does that have the same effect on adults?"

"I thought you were past the age where you needed to sleep with a doll." Gunther teased when he heard Leon's question.

"That's not the case. I just thought that if it's useful, maybe if I make my girlfriend or wife angry, I can use it to get through the difficult time." Leon explained.

"It's useful. Your way of thinking is quite peculiar. This might be another application field of the Daifuku Tanxiong." Gunther looked at Leon with a strange expression and complained, but he silently remembered this idea in his heart.

"As long as it's useful, as long as it's useful." Lyon was overjoyed when he heard this. If he could rely on the big Futanari bear to coax girls, then life would be much easier.

"This way."

After seeing the Big Futan Bear, Gunther continued to take Leon forward in the small warehouse. This time, they stopped in front of a pile of sculptures and artworks.

“Previously, the gift was a total of donated items, but this time, the gift is a separate calculation of the donation amount of special minerals.”

Gunther explained, pointing to three differently shaped pieces of art.

"You donated 31 special minerals, so I prepared three interesting decorations for you: an upright geode, a singing stone, and an obsidian vase.

These three kinds of decorations all have their own characteristics. For example, the upright crystal cave. Although it is pitch black inside now, as long as you put different crystal balls in it, you can change the interior presentation style of this half-cut giant crystal cave. You can explore it yourself to see what it looks like.

The singing stone is even more interesting. Don’t underestimate it because it is just a simple columnar green crystal. It is also a phonograph that can record audio of no more than three minutes and reproduce and play it repeatedly with crisp high-frequency glass tones. It is a very interesting magical decoration.

The final obsidian flowerpot is even more interesting. Flowers placed inside it are guaranteed to never wither and remain in full bloom. Furthermore, it contains not ordinary water, but boiling lava. Furthermore, to prevent the lava from leaking out if the vase is accidentally tipped over, the creator has also made a special arrangement: lava is poured in, but clean, clear water flows out.

Gunther's eyes were full of pride as he introduced the decorations he had specially selected to Leon one by one. After all, these collections were all fine products he had obtained from bigwigs in various fields and industries before he came to Pelican Town to retire.

Although it would be more interesting to let Lyon discover the peculiarities of these things on his own, Gunther completely extinguished the idea when he heard that Lyon only chose the big ones.

Because he didn't want his most proud collection to be covered in dust in the hands of Lyon, an outsider who didn't understand art and had no unique insights and appreciation and research abilities.

If it were someone who knew the business, Gunther would never explain the specific characteristics and features of each decoration in such detail.
