A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 767 The Dwarf's Commission

The mining area lake was quite lively on rainy days, with the sound of frogs croaking continuously. When Lyon passed by the lake, he would occasionally see frogs frightened by the footsteps and jumping into the water to escape.

There weren't many harvestable fibers and weeds by the lake, the trees weren't densely distributed, and tree trunks covered with moss were even rarer. But fortunately, Lyon was mainly going to the Explorer's Guild, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

"Boom boom boom!"

After knocking on the door to signal that someone was coming, Lyon pushed open the unlocked door of the union and saw Jill and Malone carrying a small table, each with a highball glass in front of them, as if they were drinking from each other.

"I'm going to report you to Roche for drinking during work hours." Leon walked over quickly and complained.

"Report anything you want." Ma Long leaned back in his chair with a comfortable look on his face. He picked up the goblet, shook the deep red wine in the glass, and sniffed the aroma of grapes coming from his nose.

"I'm already semi-retired anyway. If your report can help me retire faster, I will definitely thank you very much." Jill looked at Leon happily with an extremely sincere attitude.

"It seems that Stardew Valley is very safe recently." Leon stopped threatening the two empty-nest elderly people, found a small stool and sat down at the table, sighing.

"Isn't it safe?" Jill asked back.

"Of course, it would be even better if it stayed like this." Lyon nodded in agreement. After all, Pelican Town was at the foot of the northern foothills, and most of the people in the town were ordinary people. Naturally, the quieter the mine was, the better.

"No, after all, the mine is safe now because you have reached the 120th floor and cleared out most of the monsters roaming in the mine. You have also deterred some dishonest shadow people. But if they are given some time, they will forget your threat and start wandering around the mine again, or even start moving towards the surface." Malone added.

"Seeing you guys so energetic, I feel relieved. Now I'm leaving. Next time I come, I'll bring you some homemade wine produced on the farm to try." After staying in the guild for a while, Leon asked to leave. He came here just to show his face, and there was no news that surprised him during the chat, so he planned to leave.

After all, if he didn't leave, Ma Long's eyes would shoot through him.

Both of them were drinking there, and Lyon was sitting alone. Out of courtesy, Malone should have poured a glass for Lyon as well, but Malone was reluctant to do so. After all, Blue Moon wine was temporarily out of production, and the wine they were drinking now was a gift from Lyon.

The days of drinking freely are gone. Now I have to sip a glass of wine for a long time. I am not willing to share my limited reserves with Lyon.

"Then I'll be waiting for you with anticipation." Jill joked to Leon with a smile.

"When we taste the food, I hope Mr. Jill can be more lenient with his words." Lyon responded with a smile and stood up to leave.

"Leon, do you have anything important to do today?" Ma Long suddenly asked as he stood up.

"No, what's wrong?" Lyon thought for a moment and found that there was nothing important scheduled, so he asked back immediately.

"I have a commission here. I was planning to do it tonight, but since you are here, I will assign it to you. I wonder if you are willing to accept it." Ma Long put it down and stood up. He walked to the signboard next to the counter, took down a commission list from it and handed it to Leon.

"Let me take a look first." Lyon did not refuse outright. He was quite interested in the commission from the Explorers Guild.

"Commissioned Mission: Ghost Haunting
Client: Dwarf
Commission grade: B+
Commission Description: The number of ghosts within the mines has begun to increase dramatically, their mournful cries making it impossible to work or rest peacefully. An explorer is needed to enter the mines and slay 20 ghosts to silence these devastating monsters. Explorers who accept this commission can contact me. I will provide you with a special item that can attract ghosts and ensure you complete the mission quickly. However, this assistance is also extremely dangerous, so please ensure you have enough strength to deal with the ghosts if you are surrounded.

Target: Ghost 0/20
Commission Reward: 2000G
Commission deadline: 3 days "Excuse me, is this mine the mine in our Stardew Valley?"

Leon was quite satisfied with this task, because the target was ghosts. He happened to have another task called Death's Bounty, which required the elimination of 66 ghosts. The current progress had reached 46, and he was just short of 20 to complete the task.

But if the location of this commission is not in Stardew Valley, but in other adjacent areas, Leon does not plan to accept it. After all, he is unfamiliar with the place, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

"It's the mine in Stardew Valley. The client is also a local dwarf who lives in the mine. You should have seen it. After all, I went to see it before, and its partition wall had been broken by you." Malone confirmed.

"Oh, that's it? Then I understand. I'll take it." Hearing that he didn't have to go anywhere else, Leon accepted the commission.

"Remember to find that dwarf. He will take out something that can attract ghosts, and then you can go directly to the 45th floor to explore."

After confirming that Lyon was willing to accept the commission, Malone handed the commission list to Lyon and also provided some information that could help Lyon.

"no problem."

Leon nodded, then left the Explorers Guild and headed to the mine.

After entering the mine, Leon went straight to the cave where the dwarf was, and walked to the end of the narrow tunnel. In the cave where the dwarf was resting, the dwarf was sitting on the chair as usual, and it was unclear whether he was in a daze or resting.

“Leon, you’re here, do you need to buy anything?”

Sensing someone coming, the dwarf raised his head, saw Leon, and immediately asked enthusiastically.

"I'm not here to buy anything this time. I'm here to do a commission." Lyon handed the commission list to the dwarf and explained.

"Oh, so it's you who accepted the commission." The dwarf suddenly realized, then jumped down from the stool and circled around Leon: "Are you sure you want to accept this task? Those ghosts are not only noisy, but also very dangerous. Especially after I gave you the ghost crystal that will attract their attention, they will become even more crazy."

"Don't worry, I know it's dangerous, and so does Marlon. But since he dared to entrust this commission to me, it proves that I have enough ability to deal with it. Besides, I have encountered many ghosts in the mines, and I have rich experience in dealing with them." Leon smiled and comforted the dwarf.

"Well then, may Yuba protect you."

The dwarf stopped trying to persuade him and pulled out a bluish-gray, irregular, transparent crystal from his bosom. "This is a ghost crystal, a special mineral. It has a strong allure for ghosts and attracts their attention. You only need to wear it on your body for it to take effect."

"Ghost Crystal (Mineral): This crystal has an icy aura around it."

As soon as Leon took the ghost crystal, he saw the system prompt, but in the system's appraisal, there was no mention of the effect of attracting ghosts, but Leon still believed the dwarf's words.

"Understood. Wait for my good news."
