A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 785 Credit
Pelican Town.

It is still that quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The sun has begun to set in the west, but the air is still filled with a hot atmosphere. There are few people in the open spaces and squares of the town. However, under some large trees used for greening, you can still see some people relaxing and enjoying the cool air.

Lyon did not rush back to the farm, but went around to the right side of the river in the east and went to the library first.

"Leon, another harvest?"

Leon pushed the door open and heard Gunther's question. He nodded and took out the ghost crystal given by the dwarf.

"Ghost crystal, it's a very interesting mineral. Some say it's similar to quartz, while others say it's the crystals left behind by those ghosts who can't sleep. Those with open minds will only feel a chill when they hold it, while those with dark hearts will have nightmares."

Gunther said as he took the ghost crystal.

"So is this a mineral or a crystal, Mr. Gunther?" Lyon asked.

"Who knows? I just read it word for word. After all, I'm just a librarian and folk collector, and I only have a vague understanding of those mysterious things." Gunther replied with a smile, while wrapping the ghost crystal in a handkerchief.

"It's a good item, well-preserved and very transparent. It's a rare gem among the ghost crystals I've seen. If you don't mind, I'll put it on display in the showroom."

"That's why I brought it here. Just on the donor list, please write the donor as a friendly dwarf," Lyon added.

"No problem." Gunther looked at Liang in surprise. "It seems that now that you have the Dwarven language tutorial, you have mastered this new language very well."

"He's a gifted man," Leon replied with a smile, then said goodbye to Gunther and left the library.

The next stop is Clint's blacksmith shop.

His pickaxe should have been upgraded long ago, but for his own reasons, he had never come to get it. Now that he had some free time, Leon naturally wanted to get it back.

Beetroots have been planted on the farm. The suitable planting season for this crop is autumn, but Lyon, who has a mini golden clock, does not need to wait until autumn arrives. The time to complete the last round of tasks is just around the corner.

After getting the key and opening the locked box, Leon can go to Mr. Qi's club, which is located on the second floor of the Oasis Store in the Calico Desert, and the Skull Mine is also there.

Since he was already there, Leon always felt a little regretful if he didn't go to the Skull Mine to experience it. And if he went to the Skull Mine, how could he miss the pickaxe?

"Hi, Leon, good afternoon. I thought you forgot your pickaxe was with me."

After knocking on the door, Clint opened the door and saw Leon, and immediately joked to Leon happily.

"I've been a bit busy lately." Leon explained with an apologetic smile.

"I know. If you don't come, I'm going to take it to you personally. Come in and sit down. The sun outside is not gentle." Clint stepped aside and motioned Leon to come in.

As soon as Leon entered the blacksmith shop, Clint immediately brought out a bottle of juice that exuded a chilling air.

"Thank you."

Lyon didn't hesitate, he took the juice, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down. The cold juice slid down his esophagus into his stomach, bringing an extremely strong chill to Lyon, making him shiver uncontrollably.

While guzzling cold drinks like this isn't very healthy, it's actually quite refreshing. "Look, this is your gold pickaxe. Not only has its strength and sharpness been improved, but it's also incredibly durable. Now, even iridium ore isn't indestructible against this sharp pickaxe."

Clint took out a golden pickaxe from under the counter and handed it to Leon.

After picking up the pickaxe, Leon felt that the pickaxe was lighter, but still very handy. The pickaxe head and handle were wrapped in a layer of gold foil. If you ignore its shape, it looks more like a work of art made of gold, revealing the temperament of a nouveau riche everywhere.

But Leon believed that this pickaxe was not made of pewter. Although it looked gorgeous, its strength was definitely much higher than the previous steel pickaxe.

"Clint, your craftsmanship is probably the best in Pelican Town. Next time there's a tool upgrade, I'll have to ask you for help." Leon praised Clint after putting the golden pickaxe into his backpack.

"Of course, you can absolutely trust me. Once you get enough iridium ore and smelt it into iridium ingots, and then upgrade the pickaxe to iridium, there will be no mineral in this world that you cannot shake." Clint answered confidently.

"Yes, there will be more than one pickaxe to upgrade by then." Leon agreed.

"Then I think you should upgrade your axe first, so that it will be much more convenient when cutting wood. The upgraded copper axe can clear those difficult tree stumps, and the more advanced steel axe can chop through dead hardwood with large roots. Hardwood has a wide range of uses and is incredibly strong. You can stock up on some." Clint suggested.

"Yeah, I think so too." Lyon actually had some ideas about hardwood. Although he couldn't use it for the time being, when he upgraded his level and unlocked more craftsman drawings, hardwood was also a basic material that absolutely could not be avoided.

Although you can buy it from Robin, it is not cheap. Why spend the money when you can cut it yourself?

"Do you have the axe? Just give it to me. I happen to be free recently, so I can help you upgrade it to a steel axe." Clint suddenly said.

"I brought it, but I don't have enough money now, and I haven't brought copper ingots or iron ingots. I'll get it next time." Lyon explained, shaking his head.

"Leon, you don't treat me as a friend. Upgrade first. I'll advance the money and materials for you, and I'll just keep a record of it. Next time when you have enough money, just bring the money and metal ingots to me." Clint complained.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll become a deadbeat?" Lyon teased.

"I believe you're not that kind of person, and you have such a big farm." Clint replied with a smile, "Besides, if you really don't plan to pay, I can accept it. I've made a lot of money recently."

"Then let's buy it on credit first. I will bring the money and materials later. You shouldn't be busy recently." After the joke, Leon was really tempted by Clint's suggestion. He was not short of wood for the time being, so the axe would not be of much use in his hand. It was just right for upgrading.

And although Lyon is short of money now, it is only temporary. He will have too many opportunities to make money in the future. Upgrading tools is a matter of sooner or later. The sooner he upgrades, the sooner he can enjoy the convenience of advanced tools.

"It's because I've been idle lately and have nothing to do, so I thought of asking you to come to my place to upgrade your tools." Clint explained.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. The price remains the same." Leon took out his axe and handed it to Clint.

"Of course, the price of ore and coal may increase, but the labor cost will never increase. Leave it to me, and you can get your steel axe in four days at most." Clint replied with a smile.

"Then please, let's go to Gus's place for a drink tonight?" Leon suggested.

"Uh, no, I don't plan to go to the Star Fruit in the short term." Clint's face darkened and his voice became weaker when he heard this.

"???"
