A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 902 A Little Wish

"So, what exactly is your special ability? Why do you have to stay near the grapes to ensure they thrive?"

Early the next morning, Leon made some pancakes and sprinkled them with sweet maple syrup. He enjoyed breakfast with Sophia along with milk, and asked a question he had always wanted to know the answer to.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specific effects, but the results of the experiment show that the grapevines growing around me are becoming more resistant to heat, cold, and wind, less susceptible to pests and diseases, and growing faster. The sugar content of the grapes will also increase significantly after maturity without affecting their unique flavor.

It's an all-around boost, but it only applies to grapes. Other plants have no effect. Furthermore, if I leave the grapes affected by my ability for more than three days, they will revert to being ordinary vines."

Sophia took a pancake and dipped it in maple syrup, but instead of putting it into her own mouth, she put it in front of Leon's mouth and gave him an answer.

"Is that so? No wonder Blue Moon's wine is so excellent." Lyon exclaimed when he heard this.

I also understand that not everyone has a system and data panel that can clearly understand the characteristics of the awakened abilities of the Star Fruit.

"The quality of the grapes only has a small impact. The winemaking is all my own hard work. You know, my family has been engaged in grape cultivation and winemaking for generations. I have also improved the brewing process, which is why Blue Moon Wine is so famous today."

And he complained dissatisfiedly about Leon focusing on the power of his Star Fruit and ignoring his brewing skills.

"Of course, you are great too." Looking at Sophie's cheeks that were puffed up like a pufferfish, Leon stroked her soft pink hair lovingly.

"Hehe." After hearing Leon's praise, Sophia relaxed her cheeks and smiled foolishly.

After breakfast, Sophia immediately pulled Leon out and came to the grape yard.

"I didn't finish teaching you all the planting techniques last night, so let's continue."

"Do you really want to teach me, or do you want to play?"

Hearing this, Leon asked back with a smirk on his face.

"Both." Although Sophia's cheeks were red, she admitted her little thoughts openly.

"I'm both a nerd and a playful person, but some things are only interesting in the dead of night. During the day, work is more important."

Leon tapped Sophia lightly on the top of her head and complained to her in a bad mood.

"But it's not a lot of work." Sophia retorted. It was inevitable that there would be some novelty and addiction when tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time. Although she couldn't beat Leon in a head-on confrontation, the process was really enjoyable.

"I have a job too," Leon explained.

"I can help you. It should be done in the morning, and you'll have time to rest in the afternoon. I have a lot of clothes I made before that have been kept in the closet. I want to wear them for you to see." Sophia suggested.

"Let's do it in the evening. I have to go to the mine in the afternoon. There are some preparations to be done. This is related to some future plans." Leon was a little tempted. After all, he had actually seen the clothes that Sophia mentioned. Although he had not put them on yet, those distinctive cosplay costumes were indeed very sexy at some times.

But considering that Jiang Island had been handed over to him by Mr. Qi, it was urgent to stockpile iridium ore in order to prepare for his second farm. Furthermore, Jiang Island's volcanic caves required powerful tools to explore, and they also required a large amount of iridium ingots. Therefore, Leon had marked the Skull Mine trip as his most important goal in the near future. He was also quite curious about Mr. Qi's special reward. Previously, Leon thought it would be the same iridium snake milk as in the game, which could increase energy and health points, similar to the enhancement effect of the Star Fruit.

But this time he was given an island, and Mr. Qi's club also sold star fruits. Leon felt that Mr. Qi's special gift should not be so "ordinary".

Faced with this big guy who can really drop gold coins, he naturally doesn't want to miss it.

"Is that so? Okay then, but don't force it too much," Sophia felt a little regretful, but she finally figured it out. After all, she couldn't stop Leon from doing what he wanted to do. Such behavior was too selfish.

"If Abigail comes back tonight, you can stay with her."

She also thought of Abigail's problem. In fact, Sophia was quite apologetic for her tolerance of Abigail, so she took the initiative to add another sentence.

"As for Abigail, I don't know if she'll be back tonight, but if you can open up the situation, it won't make any difference whether she's at the farmhouse or not. She's just like you, both novice and playful. And you know how I fight. Maybe if you two get together, you might have a chance to defeat me."

When Leon heard Sophia's words, he felt a little distressed, but he couldn't help but think of a small wish of his own, and immediately hinted it to Sophia.

"Ah???" Sophia's computer suddenly went offline after hearing this. Some strange images began to emerge in her mind because of Leon's words, and her face suddenly turned red.

In the end, Leon returned to the farm. As for how he got back, it’s hard to describe in detail.

“This cable car is really nice.”

Lyon, who was sitting in the cable car overlooking the coal forest, rubbed his sore arm and sighed.

Looking down from a high place, you can see how big the coal forest is and how lush the trees are. But in fact, the forest coverage area is not exaggerated, and there is still a lot of flat land left.

If there wasn't a piece of Jiang Island waiting for his development, Lyon would have thought that when he had money in the future, reclaiming the land in the coal forest to plan a new farm would be a good option, or he could also make it a ranch.

But now he no longer had this idea, because Jiang Island was enough for him to deal with, so he didn't want to cause trouble for Mani and Rasmodes.

After getting off the cable car, Leon did not rush back to the farm. Instead, he went to the sewer along the mountain path that was dug out on the hillside at the end of the cable car to see Krobus, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Leon, you're here."

The sewer was still the same sewer, dark, damp and with a hint of decay, but these could not hinder Leon's good mood when he met Krobus.

"Long time no see, Krobus, how's business been lately?"

After greeting Krobus, Lyon handed Krobus a bottle of Blue Moon wine from his system backpack as a greeting gift.
