A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 770 I played a fake game

After leaving the mine, Leon did not rush back, but turned to the Pelican Town branch of the Explorers Guild.

"Leon, are you done?" Seeing Leon's appearance, Malone, who had already finished the wine tasting and was oiling his armor behind the counter, immediately asked.

"It's over. I want to ask if the union wants a cut of the commission."

This is the purpose of Leon coming to the Explorer's Guild.

"There's no need for that in Stardew Valley. After all, there aren't any extra expenses and staff costs for front desk service and intelligence support. You can take as much as the commissioned amount." Although Ma Long loves money, he won't be greedy for the hard-earned money in this area.

After all, explorers are all risking their lives to make a living. If they have to rely on a check for such money, they are really not good enough.

"I understand. I'll go back first then." Lyon nodded, said goodbye to Jill and Malone, and left the union hall.

The rain was still falling and the sky had darkened. It was already evening. Although Leon's body remained dry under his sailor hat, his shoes and socks were wet.

But Leon still endured the discomfort in his feet and went to Linus's tent.

"Why are you here again?" Linus, who was cooking fish in a pot by the fire, looked disgusted when he saw Leon appear.

"I want to show you something." Leon ignored Linus's resentful look and opened the Eye of Death.

Under the Eye of Death, there were two conspicuous red spots on Linus' body in Leon's vision, one on the right side under the ribs, and the other on the left side of the thigh.

These two areas are Linus's fatal weaknesses marked out by the Eye of Death. Leon can understand the former, but the latter, the side of the thigh, Leon feels that it does not fit the word fatal no matter how he thinks about it.

Leon was observing Linus's weaknesses, and Linus also noticed the changes in Leon's eyes, especially the rather eye-catching reflection of the Grim Reaper, which made Linus subconsciously clench his fists.

But it was only for a moment. Although Lyon's eyes now gave Linus a great sense of oppression, considering Lyon's own strength, he seemed to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so Linus instantly relaxed and joked.

"Huh, I didn't expect that after I told you about the gods' blessings in the morning, you showed me the gift of the god of death in the evening."

"Good luck! Is the old man scared by my eyes?" Lyon sat down with red eyes and asked expectantly.

"A little bit. After all, it's the reflection of the god of death. No living person will not be intimidated." Linus admitted it straightforwardly, but his expression was quite dull, which made Leon a little embarrassed.

Linus's subtext means that it is the god of death who brings fear, and it has nothing to do with Leon. In a sense, Linus's sincere answer is quite ironic.

Fortunately, Leon also knew the gap in strength between himself and Linus, and did not feel lost or humiliated, but added happily.

"Old man, these eyes can not only scare people, but also see through the target's fatal weaknesses. You have two of them on your body. You must be careful when fighting with others in the future."

Leon said, stepping forward and pointing to the spot on Linus' body marked by the Eye of Death.

"So what are you watching now?" Linus stood up and asked in a fighting stance.

After Linus changed his posture, Leon noticed that the weak spot on his thigh disappeared, as did the weak spot under his ribs. Red dots representing fatal weaknesses appeared on his heart and neck.

Even without the Death Eye mark, a place like this was still a fatal weakness that couldn't be ignored. "There's been a change, right?" Linus said with a smile, noticing that Leon's eyes were focused on his chest and neck.

"Well, it turned into the heart and throat." Leon answered truthfully.

"Seeing it is one thing, but being able to attack it is another." Linus sat down again, took out a spoon and stirred the pot, then reminded Leon.

"Don't rely too much on this mark. This gift only has a supporting effect. If you really want to achieve the desired effect, you must have enough strength to break through the opponent's defense."

"I know that. My main purpose is to test the waters with you and see if I can put mental pressure on an enemy of your level," Leon explained. "After all, combat requires full commitment. If the Reflection of Death can shock the opponent at a crucial moment and cause them to lose their focus for a moment, then that would be a great opportunity for me."

"You have a sharp mind. It's a good idea indeed. I can guarantee that as long as they haven't reached the status of gods, or are puppets without wisdom and thinking, they will basically be affected when they see the reflection of the god of death in your eyes, so you can show these eyes at critical moments in the future." Linus looked at Leon with approval and replied.

"Okay." Leon got the answer he wanted and immediately felt confident.

"Now that you've shown off everything you need to, go back and have a rest. Don't even think about getting dinner from a poor homeless man like me. I only cooked my own share." Linus took the initiative to remind Leon when he saw him sitting by the fire after talking about the Eye of Death.

"Let's have another meal. I'll provide the ingredients. I just caught a king fish and it seemed to have some special effects after eating it. I'm not sure I can make a suitable dish by myself, so I'd like to ask you, old man, to help me with the cooking." Leon said to Linus with a lick on his face.

"Fish King? That's true, but I don't recommend you eat it now. If it weren't for your problem, I wouldn't have helped you make the mutant carp last time. You don't need this level of food for nourishment yet.

"You could consider building a fish pond and raising the king fish in it. Carefully nurturing it and harvesting some roe for consumption would be quite effective, and it would also provide long-term benefits. Isn't it better than just eating the king fish now?" Linus suggested.

"The king fish can be raised in a fish pond?" Lyon was shocked by the news.

He suspected that he was playing a fake game. If you throw a fish king into the fish pond in the game, it will prompt the message that the legendary fish will not be happy there. If you want to keep it, you can only put it in the fish tank as an ornamental fish.

"Why not? No matter how special it is, it's just a fish. It just lives in a different water area." Linus looked at Leon speechlessly and complained.

"I see. Then I'll ask Robin to build me two fish ponds." Leon was delighted to hear this and asked, "Can the king fish reproduce in the fish pond?"

"No, the birth of the fish king is different from that of ordinary creatures, so don't think about it." Linus denied.

"That's a pity." Lyon felt a little regretful when he heard this. After all, he thought he could achieve freedom for the fish king through breeding.

"It's already very good to be able to produce fish eggs. Don't be too greedy. Go back and prepare your fish pond. I want to eat." Linus ordered them to leave again.

"Okay, then I'll go first. When the fish pond is built and the king fish is raised in it and the fish eggs are produced, I will be the first to come and honor you." Leon did not plan to stay. Before getting up to leave, he did not forget to thank Linus.

"Keep it and stock up. It's a rare tonic that can be used in many places. I don't care about these things. You can prepare them for your future partner and children." Linus waved his hand to refuse Leon's kindness.

Although the fish roe of the fish king is good, it is just a rare food to him. Apart from satisfying his appetite, it has no other benefits. There is no need to waste it on himself.

"It depends on the yield. If the yield is high, it's not bad to eat it occasionally as a snack." Leon felt that what Linus said made sense, but that was a matter for the future. God knows how much fish eggs the king fish can produce before he has children.

　Fish King Breeding was updated in 1.6.9. This is what I call keeping up with current affairs.
