A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 769 Scared to the point of peeing

However, Leon did not rush to escape from the area through the stairwell that had been blown out. Instead, he held the Galaxy Watermelon Knife tightly in his hand and headed straight for the group of ghosts.

After all, the fog had been temporarily dispelled, and without the disgusting negative buff of draining physical strength and slowing down movement, Leon didn't think these ghosts would pose much of a threat to him.

"I don't know if Leon can complete the commission."

Inside the mine, the dwarf seemed a little anxious at the moment. He didn't even sit on the chair and paced back and forth in the cave.

It has been two hours since Leon entered the mine.

This isn't the first time the dwarves have submitted a monster hunting commission to the Stardew Valley branch of the Explorers' Guild.

The person who took the orders before was always the elderly man named Ma Long, who always completed the commissions very quickly. This time, it was Lyon who took over, and the efficiency was much slower.

But the dwarf was not concerned about the time it took to complete the task, but was worried about Leon's safety.

After all, it has not communicated with humans for a long time. Leon is not only its big customer, but also the only human in Stardew Valley who can communicate with it in Dwarvish and shows extremely rare friendliness and equality.

It really didn't want to see Leon's life in danger because of its commission.

The dwarves basically live in mines, dealing with various ores and monsters. Dwarves are most aware of the attraction of ghost crystals to ghosts. A single ghost may not be very threatening, but a group of ghosts will bring more threats and difficulty than simply doubled.

The longer he waited, the more anxious the dwarf became. After hesitating for a moment, the dwarf couldn't help but take out a peculiarly shaped machine, intending to contact Malone and issue another commission, asking Malone to go to the mine to see Leon, and if possible, it would be best to bring Leon back safely.

Just as the dwarf was about to use this machine to contact Marlon, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.

"Leon?!"

The dwarf ran directly towards the entrance of the cave. Looking at the tunnel leading here, he saw a familiar figure. However, unlike the previous meeting, Leon no longer exuded the calm and friendly aura.

Lyon now gave the dwarves the feeling of a dangerous beast.

After taking a closer look, the dwarf was surprised to find that Leon's originally deep black eyes had turned red, and there was a vague black figure in his eyes. It could be barely seen that it was a humanoid creature wearing a cloak, but the whole body was covered by the cloak. The only conspicuous feature was the huge sickle hanging behind it.

Looking directly at the reflection, the dwarf felt his whole body trembling. It felt like he was standing on a steel wire rope ten thousand meters in the air, with nothing below him. The suffocating feeling of dying made the dwarf even stop breathing.

"Um, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the dwarf start to tremble when he saw him, Leon asked in confusion.

"You your eyes!"

Hearing Leon's voice, the dwarf came back to his senses, but he didn't dare to look at Leon directly again. He lowered his head and reminded him in a trembling voice.

"Eyes? Oh, sorry, I forgot to close them."

Lyon finally reacted after hearing what he said. With a thought, the red pupils in his eyes faded instantly and were covered by the original black pupils. His temperament also returned to a state that made the dwarf feel at ease in an instant.

"I ran into a lot of trouble in the mines, so I kept my special ability active," Leon apologized to the dwarf. He hadn't expected Death's Eye to scare the dwarf so much. "Death's Eye (Special Ability): Your eyes reflect the image of Death, and those you gaze upon will also be watched by Death. Once Death's Eye is activated, you can see the fatal weaknesses of all living beings. Attacking these weaknesses guarantees a critical hit, with a small chance of triggering an instant kill."

This is the reward Leon received after completing the bounty mission of the God of Death in the mine, an introduction to the system of the Eye of Death.

The introduction only mentioned a weakness insight and a chance of instant kill. If the dwarf hadn't looked terrified, Leon wouldn't have known that Death's Eye had additional effects.

This reminded Leon of the line in the description: "The target you are staring at will also be stared at by the god of death." He originally thought it was just a background introduction to enhance the level of prestige, but who would have thought it had such a meaning.

No wonder when it was turned on, the targeted ghosts turned around and ran away. It turned out that they were scared away by the reflection of the god of death in their eyes, not because they killed too many ghosts and their morale collapsed.

"Have you completed the commission?"

Leon regained his friendly state, and the dwarf breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relaxed, and no longer stuttered when speaking.

"Well, this is the commission list." Leon nodded and handed the commission list to the dwarf.

The original commission target displayed above: Ghost 0/20 has changed to 20/20. Obviously, this commission list is not ordinary. It should be cast with magic and can record the completion of the task in real time.

"Leon, you're amazing." Seeing the numbers on the list, the dwarf exclaimed sincerely, then took out 2000G and handed it to Leon: "This is the commission fee."

"Okay." Although he was very familiar with the dwarf, Leon had no qualms about taking the money. After all, it was his hard-earned money.

If it weren't for the super bomb, Lyon, who was trapped in the strange fog, might have really crashed. It was not easy to earn these 2000G.

"By the way, let me return this to you." After receiving the money, Leon took out the ghost crystal from his pocket and planned to return it to its original owner.

"This is for you, keep it as a souvenir." The dwarf explained to Leon, shaking his head.

"Okay, then I'll take it and donate it to the museum. If possible, I'll ask Gunther to write your name on the donor list. By the way, I don't know your name yet." Leon was not polite, but he didn't really intend to claim this thing as his own.

"No, I don't really like appearing in human society, even in name. According to the treaty of peaceful coexistence, we cannot interfere in human society." The dwarf declined.

"Okay." Leon could understand the dwarf's idea. After all, non-human intelligent races seemed to deliberately avoid areas where humans lived.

Even the extraordinary people among humans are like this. Just look at Lasmodes, who lives alone in a cliff tower in a coal forest far away from Pelican Town. Explorers like Malone and the locations chosen by the guild are all in the eastern corner near the mine, which are all sparsely populated areas.

Although it is not ruled out that it is for convenience and confidentiality, Leon feels that these beings are more special than ordinary people and are deliberately avoiding the lives of ordinary people.

"Sorry to bother you, Leon, you should go back and rest first." The dwarf nodded, then reminded Leon. Although Leon did not seem to be injured, he seemed a little tired.

"Okay, next time you have a commission, remember to look for me." Leon said goodbye to the dwarf with a smile and left the mine.

After all, one commission costs 2000G, and the difficulty is not too exaggerated, so the efficiency of making money is not low. This 2000G can solve Lyon's current embarrassing situation of being short of money. If there is such an opportunity to make extra money, Lyon will not let it go.
