A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 729 Beauty is Justice
"Thank you, they are all great things. You're welcome."

I originally thought it was just a simple decoration, but these decorations actually came with new features. Lyon was naturally happy to accept them, but there was one thing he didn't quite understand.

That's why Gunther was so generous.

Just because of some minerals that can be purchased in the market, you can give yourself so many interesting things?

If it were a game, Leon could still understand it, after all, games emphasize positive feedback, and there is a reward for your effort. However, there is no such setting in reality. Since it was said to be a donation, Gunther could have accepted Leon's kindness with peace of mind without paying any price.

After hesitating for a moment, Lyon finally raised the question.

"Interesting question, but my answer is very simple, that is, I am willing." Gunther responded to Leon's doubts with a short but heroic sentence.

"You help me, and I repay you. It's a voluntary contribution from both sides. Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Lyon shook his head when he heard that, and felt that he was overthinking it.

Gunther was happy to do so, so there was no point in worrying about it. He stopped worrying about it and directly stuffed all the gifts selected by Gunther into the system backpack.

"The subsequent collection still depends on you. Don't forget this. Besides these, I have prepared some interesting things for you. I'm just waiting for you to reach the donation target I set. Come on."

After getting the things, Gunther took Leon out of the small warehouse. When he saw Leon was about to leave, Gunther encouraged Leon.

"I'll try my best." Although Leon was also looking forward to these small rewards, antiques were different from special ores and the chance of them appearing was too low.

Up to now, Lyon has not seen many ancient spots. Without ancient spots, the only place where he can obtain ancient artifacts is the mine.

The situation inside the mine is just like that, and the probability of ancient artifacts appearing is frighteningly low.

Lyon wasn't sure if he could complete the goal of completing the library's collection room.

But this is not a hard requirement. Let's take it one step at a time. There is still a long time to live.

After leaving the library, Leon rode his bicycle back to the farm. After getting his fishing rod and bait, he went straight to Pelican Town along the coal forest again and stopped outside Willow Lane.

To the south of Willow Lane is the river surrounding Pelican Town. As the last section flowing out of Pelican Town, the river on the Willow Lane side is rich in freshwater fish species, with a slow flow rate and a wide water surface free of debris. It is one of the most suitable areas for fishing in the town.

The other section is under the waterfall northwest of Joja's Supermarket, but that place is also where the Autumn King Fish appears. Because magic bait is required, it is also possible to attract the Autumn King Fish. In order to avoid trouble, Leon does not plan to try fishing for the Autumn King Fish for the time being.

On the one hand, I am worried that I won’t be able to catch it, and on the other hand, I am worried that the autumn fish kings that are caught now are too thin and too small to be worth seeing.

Although the magic bait can attract fish in any season, it is also because of this that many out-of-season fish are attracted to the hook while they are still in the growth and fattening stage, thus hastily ruining their young lives.

For example, the tuna he'd caught earlier at the beach was a lucky adult, not a juvenile. Leon had been the only one to catch it. Willy had helped analyze this information, because the tuna he'd caught was an adult, while the red snapper he'd hooked later was a juvenile, still a month away from reaching adulthood.

Therefore, without full confidence and the right time, Lyon has not considered challenging the fish king for the time being.

However, Leon also wanted other non-seasonal fish. After all, the fish tank sacrifice package was also one of the highlights of the old community center, so he naturally couldn't favor one over the other.

He skillfully put on the magic bait and cast the rod into the water. The hook fell into the water, but before it completely sank to the bottom, it was dragged into the water along with the float by a passing fish.

"Big guy."

The fish in the water, whose appearance has not yet been seen, is extremely ferocious. Not only is it incredibly strong, but it can also run very fast. If Leon was not very strong now, he might have been dragged into the water by this guy without any preparation.

Feeling the force of the taut fishing line and witnessing the rod bending noticeably from the strain, Leon was certain his first fish of the day would be a giant. He immediately steadied himself, relying on the strength of his iridium reel and rod, and chose to pull it out.

This was the first fish of the day. With the help of the fishing buff that prevented the fish from getting off the hook, no matter how fierce and powerful the fish in the water was, it still could not compete with Leon, the human-shaped bull in strength. It was dragged ashore from the water by Leon and could only struggle on the grass.

"What the hell is this?"

Originally, Leon thought that with such great strength and weight, the fish caught should be a catfish, but the one that was dragged ashore was actually a sturdy strange fish with dense gray-black scales all over its body, a gray-white linear pattern running through its body, and a head that was obviously larger than its body.

This big head is also very distinctive. It is shaped like an inverted triangle as a whole, with some irregular patterns, and looks quite similar to a snake's head.

Leon picked up the fishing rod and pulled it in front of him. He pinched the head of the strange fish and looked at it carefully. He immediately received the system's identification feedback.
"Snaketooth Monoline (fish): A formidable predator that devours anything it can find."

"It's you." After seeing the name of the fish, Leon suddenly realized something. He pinched open the mouth of the snake-toothed fish and wanted to take out his hook, but he noticed the densely packed serrated teeth of this guy.

With such good teeth, it is no wonder that it can become the top predator in the underwater food chain.

If Leon remembered correctly, this thing is a winter fish and it is quite difficult to fish for it.

But except for one special fishing commission, the snaketooth fish is neither a target fish on the sacrifice list nor an essential ingredient required for functional recipes. It is a useless fish species with an extremely weak presence and is annoying to fish for.

Holding this big guy about 1.2 meters long and observing its overall appearance, Leon suddenly felt even more disgusted. It was too ugly and deformed, and the overall look really looked like a fat version of a snake.

He threw it directly into the system backpack. Lyon had already decided its fate, which was to throw it into the shipping box, and whoever wanted it could take it.

Then he put the magic bait on the hook again, threw it into the river again, and continued his fishing.

Anyway, it's still early, and Lyon's goal today is to catch all the fish in the river that can be included in the fish tank sacrifice package list.
