A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 845 Not in vain

A black gentleman's hat dotted with colorful dots of light.

The frameless glasses reflecting the black and purple gradient cover the original pupils, making it impossible to see the eyes clearly.

The black suit is also dotted with colorful spots of light like the hat.

Finally, coupled with the iconic blue skin and the strange curve at the corner of his mouth, the strong confidence and mysterious temperament he displayed all proved to Leon that the bartender in front of him who took the initiative to greet him was the Mr. Qi he wanted to meet.

"It's a great club, but I didn't expect that Mr. Qi, the owner, would also work as a bartender."

Leon flattered Mr. Qi, then walked to the bar and nodded to Mr. Qi.

"I've temporarily prepared a place for you to talk. Please sit down first, Leon. What would you like to drink?" Mr. Qi gestured for Leon to sit down, and then asked enthusiastically.

"Do you have juice? If not, beer is also good." Leon was not polite. He knew that Mr. Qi wanted him to drink and chat at the same time, so he directly stated his preference.

"I thought you'd prefer Blue Moon wine."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi teased Leon, then picked up an empty glass, shook it in the air, and a glass of light purple liquid filled the glass.

"This is the juice of the Star Fruit. It's the only fruit I can find here. However, I've extracted its special energy and only retained its original flavor. As a drink, it's still very good."

Looking at the 'juice' handed over by Mr. Qi, Leon sat up straight.

It can be said that he is worthy of being a big shot. He uses the star fruit to make juice and drinks it. Leon admires the style he displays invisibly.

Seeing Leon's serious attitude, Mr. Qi smiled.

"Don't worry too much about these things. If you want the Star Fruit, you have plenty of ways to get it. It's just a special fruit."

"Then Mr. Qi, can you sell me some?" Lyon asked subconsciously after hearing this.

"You want it? Of course no problem, but you have to agree to one condition of mine." Mr. Qi did not think that Lyon's question was abrupt, but agreed happily.

"What conditions?" Lyon asked back.

"You can't eat these star fruits by yourself," Mr. Qi explained.

"Ah?" Leon was stunned when he heard this. If he couldn't eat it, why buy it?

"There are also differences in star fruits. You don't need these ordinary quality star fruits. This will lower your growth limit, so I don't recommend you eat the star fruit that was taken from me."

Mr. Qi patiently explained, "But this doesn't mean that the Star Fruit I have is useless. No matter how ordinary its quality is, it is still a Star Fruit, so you can use it to make Star Fruit tea."

"Can't you give it to others to eat?" Lyon asked.

"Not everyone's physique is suitable for eating the Star Fruit. Linus should have told you this, right?" Mr. Qi asked back.

"Yeah." Leon nodded.

"That's right. You don't want to bring this hidden danger to your family and friends, right? Compared to the Star Fruit, Star Fruit Tea is more suitable for your idea. It removes the most violent energy of the Star Fruit, but retains the unique taste and nutrition of the Star Fruit, and there will be no adverse reactions."

Mr. Qi continued to explain to Leon, then, as if to verify his statement, he made a gesture of plucking from thin air with his bare hands, and a Star Fruit appeared out of thin air in his hand. Then, Mr. Qi clapped his hands, and a man dressed as a waiter walked over and stood respectfully at the bar.

Mr. Qi handed the star fruit in his hand to the man. The man did not hesitate and put it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.

Then, the man's skin began to spread purple, and a painful expression appeared on his face. As the purple on his skin became deeper, Leon actually felt a very obvious sense of danger from the man.

But before Leon could do anything, Mr. Qi pointed at the man who had swallowed the Star Fruit. A purple mist emerged from the man's body and was pulled into Mr. Qi's hands. The purple color on his skin began to fade gradually, and finally returned to its normal skin color. The painful expression on his face also gradually subsided.

"Look, this is the consequence of an ordinary person who can't adapt to the Star Fruit rashly eating the Star Fruit. If I don't stop him, then the next moment, he will be blown up by this power and turned into a powerful bomb, and then, hehehe."

Mr. Qi, with purple mist wrapped around his hands, spoke to Leon, and the last part of his laughter was full of weirdness.

"Thank you for your advice." Lyon replied to Mr. Qi expressionlessly, but his heart was filled with turmoil because Mr. Qi behaved a little scary.

He experimented on humans without any scruples. Although he had safety measures, it was not difficult to see that he did not care about the experimenters.

"Don't be afraid, child. I'm not an evil person who disregards life. If you knew that the guy I used for my experiment was a Lost Mind, perhaps this answer would make you feel better."

As if he had noticed the change in Leon's mentality, Mr. Qi explained to Leon with a smile.

"A crazy person?!" Lyon understood immediately after hearing what he said. If it was a crazy person, then there would be no need to sympathize with him.

After all, in his eyes, this kind of traitor is the same species as the Japanese traitors. He is afraid that the dogs will get sick if he kills them and feeds them to dogs.

"It seems that you and I are on the same side." Feeling Leon's instant relief after hearing that the other party was a Madman, Mr. Qi showed a kind smile.

"After all, I was cheated by them once." Lyon complained.

"I know, it caused quite a stir." Mr. Qi nodded in agreement. "You're lucky to have survived in this fly's stronghold and even held out until reinforcements arrived. You even left them with a big surprise."

"Big surprise?" Leon was stunned for a moment, then thought of the bomb he had placed in the room before leaving, and immediately became interested.

"The high priest was killed in the explosion?"

"No, but it's quite embarrassing, and their place of faith has been messed up, which makes them very angry." Mr. Qi shook his head, then looked at Leon and added.

"But the gem puppets you left behind have caused them a lot of trouble. I heard that many unsuspecting Wretched followers were killed. Although they have been transformed into mummies by their contaminated power, the difference in value between monsters and Wretched who have retained their intelligence is still quite large."

"Gem Puppet, I almost forgot about this thing. It seems that I underestimated its combat power."

Lyon was quite surprised to hear the news.

At first, he thought that the gem puppet he made of thirty rubies was given away for nothing. After all, he and Camilla were only concerned with escaping at the time, leaving the gem puppet for themselves to use. After not receiving any news, Leon forgot about the gem puppet.

Now it seems that after he left, the gem puppet did play a role of restraint and backup, so the investment of thirty rubies was not in vain.

"Don't underestimate the special abilities of the awakened Star Fruit, but don't rely too much on them," Mr. Qi reminded.

"understood."
