A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 744 Business without Capital
Of course, it's not impossible to buy them all. Lyon still remembers the introduction written in the letter from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce when he got his gift card. It said that the gift card has an additional loan limit, which is a combination of a bank card and a credit card.

It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money. When you need to spend it, the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce will advance the expenses that exceed the deposit, and you don't need to pay interest. All you need to do is pay it back on time when Lyon has money.

But Leon is not an over-consumer. As a traditional Oriental, his view is to spend as much as he can and never overdraw his future. Especially after witnessing the tragic end of various online loan borrowers in his previous life, Leon actually has a resistance to the idea of ​​loans.

So Leon wanted to give up two of the three special books and choose only one of the three. After all, he had already made the decision.

"Guide to Identifying Ancient Treasures" and "Secrets of Lumberjacking" were directly removed from Lyon's purchasing list.

The former is related to antiquities. Lyon has only acquired a limited number of antiquities so far, and he hasn't even completed the donation to the library. Where would he get the extra antiquities for himself to play with and experiment with? Judging from the title of the book "Guide to the Identification of Ancient Treasures", this ability should be related to identification and provide systematic help. There is no need for this at all, so it can be given up.

The same goes for the secret of logging. From the description, it is about mastering a special ability related to wood acquisition, which is nothing more than obtaining some extra wood, or obtaining tree species. These are relatively useless abilities for Leon, so it can be given up.

To be honest, the book Gem of the Sea is not very attractive to Leon. When it comes to mastering a special ability related to fish, the only thing Leon can think of is to increase the size, weight and value of fish.

Or it can increase the fish's hook rate and reduce the difficulty of fishing, etc., but it is not a necessary thing.

But there is a unique reason why Lyon chose it, which is a sentence in the explanatory message, which seems to have the blessing of the sea.

The blessing of the sea is a very high-end description no matter how you look at it. Just based on this sentence, Leon wanted to see what the blessing of the sea was like.

Having made the decision, Leon picked out the two books, Guide to Identifying Ancient Treasures and Secrets of Lumberjack, and returned them to Marcello. Marcello was not disappointed and put the two books back into the pile of books behind him with a smile.

"It seems you have made your choice. Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Lyon. The total price of the books you selected is 6WG."

After Marcello finished speaking, Leon's gift card was handed over. He took the card and deducted his earnings. Marcello returned the card to Leon: "Thank you for your patronage."

Leon smiled and nodded at Marcello, then put all the books that belonged to him into his pocket, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

"Mr. Marcello, will these books still be available next month?"

"Not necessarily. After all, Mr. Lyon isn't the only client I have. There are also many farmers like Mr. Lyon who have a keen interest in these books. The reason I can offer you so many books today is because I just replenished my inventory. It will take another six months to replenish it next month. However, I will visit some suppliers during my travels to see if I can procure suitable books."

Marcello explained sincerely, but he didn't say enough.

"Okay, see you next month then."

After getting the answer, Leon lost interest in staying here. Marcello seemed friendly, but he wasn't the type to enjoy conversation. As a businessman, his preference was to deal with business. It would be difficult to get information from him about the source of the books.

So Lyon didn't plan to try to chat with him. This purchase cost a lot of money, and Lyon was not sure if there was any balance left in the card, or it was already negative. It would be better for him to go back early to see how many surprises these books can bring him.

Besides, Lyon is feeling a little sleepy now, so it’s time to go back and have some sleep.

After leaving the hillside, Lyon rode his bicycle back to the farm, took a shower first, then went upstairs wrapped in a bath towel, and took out the books he had purchased in the room.

The seven books were arranged in order. The five publications represented Leon's five skills, the Book of Stars represented the experience of all professional skills, and the remaining book, the Gem of the Sea, was the only book that could grant the reader special abilities.

So Leon opened the Sea Gem first.

From the moment the cover was opened, the pages of the entire book began to turn automatically at a very fast speed. When the last page turned to the left, the book closed and turned into dots of blue light, merging into Leon's body.

"Gem of the Sea: With the blessing of the ocean, you now have an extra chance to harvest fresh fish roe corresponding to the fish you caught when fishing."

Looking at the new entries in the system capability panel, Leon immediately understood.

He knew that fish roe was a fixed product when raising fish in fish ponds. Fresh fish roe could be placed in cans and pickled into pickled fish roe. Among all fish, only sturgeon roe could be pickled into caviar sauce.

It is a money-making style in the game, but it is not commonly used. After all, the production efficiency of fish roe is not high, and the area occupied by the fish pond is not small. There are too many styles that are much more practical than pickling fish roe sauce.

Originally, caviar was not considered as a business direction in his own farm's business goals. After all, there was too much preparation work. Not only did he have to build fish ponds, but he also had to put fish in the ponds and meet their various needs to expand the breeding scale. The effort and reward were completely disproportionate.

But now with the power of this Gem of the Sea, fish roe is no longer solely dependent on the output of fish ponds. Fishing can be used to obtain fish roe, which saves a series of preparations and initial investment, which is very convenient.

After all, Lyon really likes fishing. He casts a few rods whenever he wants. This entertainment activity, which can kill time and bring in some rewards, is definitely one of Lyon's favorite things in Stardew Valley.

While fishing, he could also harvest some fresh fish roe, which was unstable but almost free. Lyon was naturally happy to see such a cost-free business. And if he remembered correctly, caviar was a very expensive ingredient, so it was a good source of extra income.

The books are indeed worth buying for 2WG. Although it may take a long time to make back the money by selling caviar, as long as Leon is still alive, this is a long-term business that will not lose money no matter how you calculate it.
