A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 741 The Bookseller Appears
When Helena saw Leon's expression, she guessed what he was thinking and immediately twisted his arm.

"I think you're thinking of something really weird, so I want to correct you. Yuba isn't what you think."

"So Yuba took out his own ribs and turned them into a male human?" Leon also felt that his idea was a bit outrageous. After all, if Yuba really did that, then humans today should not be so weak. After all, the descendants of God, no matter how thin their bloodline is, should have great power that ordinary people cannot imagine.

“It’s a strange speculation, but it’s certainly interesting, but what Yuba did was pluck a star from the sky, planted it in the earth, and gave it to the ancient humans to care for.

Yuba told humans that seeds would grow into the most important fruits for humans, so all ancient humans participated in the care and cultivation of the seeds until the seeds took root, sprouted, and grew into a towering tree, and the tree was full of fruits.

When all the fruits were ripe, ancient humans picked them all. They peeled off the peels and found human babies sleeping inside. These babies were different from the babies given to ancient humans by the water of life. These babies had unique organs that ancient humans did not have at that time.

Yuba's appearance at this moment told ancient humans that this was a gift from nature to ancient humans, and also the link that ancient humans lacked most, that is, males.

By observing the reproduction of animals, ancient humans finally understood why males were so important to the human race. Before this, all ancient humans had no idea that their own race could also produce males.

Helena spoke eloquently and could easily quote ancient history. It was obvious that she had invested a lot of energy in this area.

"You mean that when humans walked onto land, there were already animals on earth, and animals themselves contained both males and females, but humans were the only ones without them?"

After listening to Helena's words, Leon found something strange and confirmed it immediately.

"Yes." Helena nodded. "It's very strange, isn't it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the emergence of human beings is not the result of natural evolution, but the result of Ba's interference?" Leon asked.

"It's not Yuba, it's another god. He is Yuba's enemy, but also the origin of mankind. Yuba calls him the mother of mankind. Yuba's extra attention to mankind and guidance for mankind to develop its own civilization is also to prevent the problems left by this mother from affecting these new races with wisdom beyond ordinary beasts." Helena explained.

"This involves another god? Why?"

Lyon felt a little dizzy after hearing this. After all, he was familiar with Darwin's theory of evolution, but the idea that God created humans and that the mother of mankind was a god was something Lyon had only heard of from stories and legends.

However, since she can be considered as Yuba's enemy, then at least this mother of mankind should also be a top god. This is very interesting, because such a god actually created humans on this planet, so what is its purpose.

“I don’t know either. The records on this matter don’t contain detailed information, only a few general statements. Anyway, with the guidance of Yuba and the help of nature, the missing males appeared in the ancient human race and integrated into the lives of ancient humans.

Thus, besides the Water of Life, another method of reproduction began to become popular. As more and more male humans emerged, the ancient humans' use of the Water of Life dwindled, until it eventually disappeared. Consequently, the Water of Life was transferred from Ba to the ocean, where it was kept by the mermaids, who had not participated in this transformation. It also served as a guarantee for the continuation of the mermaid race," Helena continued.

"I always feel like there's something fishy going on here," Leon sighed. "That's not something we can get involved in. Let's go eat," Helena said, pulling Leon back to the room they had started from.

Then Leon saw Helena summon the mermaid who was a maid and asked her to prepare dinner and send it to the room.

Then Leon and Helena enjoyed the special delicacies of the mermaid clan.

Fish are indispensable, and of course crustaceans as well. What really surprised Leon was that the mermaids actually had their own farmland and vegetables under the sea.

Although the vegetables here must be grown in the deep sea, and the vegetables themselves contain salt, Lyon was still amazed. It was a pity that the farmland was quite far from the palace, and Lyon had no way to go over and see with his own eyes what the scenery of the fields under the sea was like.

As for why I can't get out, those who understand the reason will understand.

The next morning, on the beach of Stardew Valley, Leon yawned as he stepped on the soft sand and walked towards Pelican Town.

I didn't sleep much last night because I had to convince Helena to send me back, so Leon had to pay some price to make up for Helena's reluctance.

Fortunately, Leon succeeded, and took the portal built by Helena and returned to Stardew Valley and Pelican Town.

After entering Pelican Town, Leon couldn't wait to take out his bicycle and ride back to the farm. He had to go back to feed the chickens, and after feeding the chickens, he had to have a good sleep.

Because he came back early, Robin had not yet appeared and started working, so after feeding the chickens, he was ready to run into the house. But as soon as he walked out of the chicken coop, Leon found that a large shadow had appeared above his head.

Looking up and looking towards the source of the shadow, Leon opened his mouth wide, because he saw a huge hot air balloon flying overhead in the sky, and the shadow was caused by the hot air balloon blocking the sunlight.

On the hot air balloon, an old man wearing a purple tall hat and a green beard was also looking at Leon on the ground curiously. When he saw Leon looking up at him, he took the initiative to smile and waved at Leon.

"Is this a bookseller?" Looking at the book icon printed on the hot air balloon and the other party's way of traveling, Leon thought of the information Krobus had mentioned about the merchant who sold various books with special abilities.

As if seeing Leon's confusion, the old man on the hot air balloon dropped a light leaflet. The paper that was supposed to float in the wind fell straight towards Leon and was finally caught in his hand.

"Marcello's Bookstand—offering the most interesting and rare books in the continent."

A promotional poster, in addition to this introduction, also has a photo of a bookseller setting up a stall. If Leon is not mistaken, the location in this photo is Stardew Valley, because he saw the rooftop logo of Joja's Supermarket in the corner of the photo.
