A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 745 Comprehensive upgrade
If he wasn't so sleepy, Leon really wanted to try out this new ability and the probability of obtaining fish eggs right now.

After closing the system capability panel, he focused his attention on the remaining six books in front of him. Leon picked up a Stardew Valley Calendar and took it in his hand. This book was an experience book that could provide farming experience.

Unlike books on special abilities, Leon didn't need to flip through these experience books. Once he got them in his hands, the system would prompt him on whether to absorb the knowledge in the book.

After clicking OK, the book disappeared without any light spots or fancy special effects. After the book disappeared, Leon felt that he had gained some more farming knowledge and skills in his mind, and at the same time heard the system's prompts.

"After studying a book of farming knowledge compiled by a professional farmer, the host's farming experience has increased."

There was a prompt for experience gain, but Lyon was a little disappointed that he did not receive any news about the increase in farming level.

He originally thought that this book could raise his farming level by one level, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

As for how much farming experience he gained, Lyon was not quite sure. There were no experience bars displayed for the five skills in the skill panel, but Lyon estimated that it should not be too little. Moreover, gaining experience was not the focus for Lyon. Instead, it was the extra knowledge that benefited Lyon a lot.

Because this knowledge is serious farming skills and professional knowledge that has been tested and certified, it has very significant educational significance for Lyon, a farmer who has only changed his career path.

This knowledge includes a lot of farming details, such as the difference and impact of the depth of seeds entering the soil when sowing different crops, and the different impacts that may be caused when different crops are planted adjacent to each other.

For example, planting potatoes and garlic together may cause the two crops to absorb nutrients and water from each other's soil, resulting in a longer growth cycle of potatoes and garlic and a decrease in quality when harvested.

However, if potatoes and cabbage are planted next to each other, the cabbage can absorb the extra water that the potatoes do not need, greatly reducing the chance of root rot in the potato sprouts. At the same time, it can also allow the cabbage that absorbs excess water to grow better and produce higher quality products when mature and harvested.

These are all details that Lyon has not noticed, and some techniques that Lyon may never notice in his life.

Compared to the experience provided by books, this knowledge is what really made Lyon feel benefited.

With the example of the Stardew Valley Calendar, Leon hurriedly read other books corresponding to different professions, such as Bait and Float, which can improve fishing skills, Mining Monthly, which can improve mining skills, Combat Quarterly, which can improve combat skills, and Woodcutter's Weekly, which can increase wild gathering skills.

Each book has the same experience improvement tips and the accompanying skill expertise, which gives Leon a new understanding of his five skills.

"What a great thing! I'll buy more next time. It's true that one must keep learning throughout life."

After absorbing all five skill books, although not a single skill was upgraded, Lyon felt that his money was not wasted. Instead, he gained a new understanding and desire for this type of books.

After all, these are all reliable knowledge written by real professionals, which are much more reliable than the so-called agricultural education content written by those self-proclaimed experts with fancy words and repetitive phrases. At the very least, the gains from a Stardew Valley calendar are much more than the gains from the several agricultural science books that Lyon had read before.

It's all solid stuff, no exaggeration, just like the profession of a farmer, simple, unpretentious, steady and reliable.

"Let's see what surprises this Book of Stars can bring me."

After reading the five books, the only one left in front of Lyon is the Book of Stars. As a book marked by the system as being able to improve all skill levels, Lyon naturally wants to see if it also contains some professional knowledge of various skills that he lacks.

As for experience, in Leon's opinion, it was no longer the main focus; instead, various knowledge and skills were the key. Picking up the Book of Stars, the system didn't prompt him to absorb it directly.

So Leon opened the cover of the Book of Stars and turned to the first page, but was surprised to find that the title page was blank and had no content.

"The Wordless Book?" He turned another page, but it was still blank, which made Leon complain.

He continued to turn the pages, but the paper was still blank, without any words or patterns. The Book of Stars was not very thick, so after turning a few dozen pages, it reached the bottom. However, Leon did not get any feedback or knowledge from the book, only blank pages.

If it weren't for the fact that the identification results given by the system never seemed to be wrong, and that the bookseller had sold this book to him for 15000G, and with the previous book case, Lyon was sure that the bookseller was not a fraud who was just filling in the gaps, Lyon would have really thought that this was just a blank notebook.

But when Leon closed the Book of Stars, it disappeared, and the knowledge did not appear in Leon's brain. What appeared in his brain were various prompts from the system.

"With the blessing of the stars, your farming level has been improved, farming level +1.

Cheese Press recipe unlocked, Hardwood Fence recipe unlocked, Premium Sprinkler recipe unlocked."

"With the blessing of the stars, your wild gathering level has been improved, wild gathering level +1.

Lightning Rod recipe unlocked, Wild Seed (Autumn) recipe unlocked, Teleport Totem: Beach recipe unlocked.

You have been blessed by nature, and now you can see the special seeds that are lurking wild in the soil.”

"With the blessing of the stars, your mining level has been upgraded to +1.

Bomb recipe unlocked.

You have received the blessing of the God of Forge, and your physical strength has been enhanced."

"With the blessing of the stars, your combat level has been improved, combat level +1.

The Slime Egg Press recipe has been unlocked, and the Garlic Oil recipe has been unlocked.

You have received the blessing of the God of War, and your physical fitness has been improved."

Except for fishing, all skill levels have been upgraded. Lyon glanced at his panel and found that all his skill levels had reached level 6. This was definitely a huge surprise.

Moreover, among the various unlocked recipes, there are also key items that Lyon will need in the future, as well as long-awaited physical fitness improvements and special expansion of wild vegetable harvest types.

It can be said that this wave of upgrades is definitely a huge improvement for Lyon.
