A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 910 It’s too early

"Eger, I heard that he was detained by the Gotlo Empire for smuggling." The desert merchant replied to Leon with a strange smile on his face.

"Can he be detained?" Lyon was stunned when he heard this.

"After all, no matter how magical his pigs are, they still can't outswim a warship on the sea. He was particularly unlucky to run into the fleet of the Gotlo Empire transporting the wounded. Those soldiers who suffered great losses at the hands of your Fingir Republic soldiers encountered an Egger who was smuggling goods to the Fingir Republic. What do you think he can do?
But there is no need to worry. After all, he is just smuggling some special commodities, not selling things that are detrimental to the Gotlo Empire. Therefore, he is only detained and investigated temporarily and will not be detained for too long. I guess he should have been released now.

But he might not be able to drive his pig cart anymore. Perhaps his wife will take over this job. This incident has made him a target of the Gotlo Empire. It will be difficult for a smuggler who has been exposed to the official's view to smuggle again.

The desert merchant said this with a helpless expression on his face: "But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, business has to be done, and this job can't last forever. Even for me, this is the last period of my business trip. After that, I have to start retiring. The next time you try to find my stall, you might see my daughter as the merchant."

"Well, it has to be passed down eventually. It's impossible to be a traveling merchant for the rest of your life, right?" Lyon didn't know what to say. After reluctantly comforting the desert merchant, he thought of a detail that he had overlooked.

Those are the Pig Cart Merchant and the Desert Merchant in the game. If you look carefully at the mosaic character shapes, they all seem to be female.

When he met Egger before, he was a man. Leon thought it might be the deviation between the real world and the game, and since the desert merchant was also a man, he treated it as the same situation. Now that he heard this news from the desert merchant, he immediately understood.

It’s not that there is a change between reality and the game, but that I met them too early.

Just like how Willy is the only resident on the beach in Stardew Valley, and the romantic novelist Elliot has not yet moved in to settle down, the time when I arrived in Stardew Valley was much earlier than in the game.

There were speculations about this before, but now it can be confirmed to be a fact.

"Thank you for your comfort, my friend. Would you like to buy some treasures you are interested in from my stall, which is my last one?" The desert merchant waved his hand to Leon to show that he was not too pessimistic. Instead, he followed Leon's words and began to promote his products.

"I'd like to, too, but I don't have anything of equivalent value with me other than money. Even though I have some Stardew Valley specialties with me, I doubt you'll be too interested." Leon was very interested in the desert merchant's stuff, but unfortunately, he was 'poor' and the guy didn't accept monetary transactions.

"It's okay, my friend. I didn't introduce my trading style to you before we met, so you weren't prepared. I'll be here for another month. If you're ready, you're welcome to come and pick out the products you like. May the oasis always be at your feet."

The desert merchant took off his turban and placed it on his chest, sending a blessing to Leon.

Leon also imitated the desert merchant's action, put his hand on his heart and responded: "May the oasis always be under your feet."

Since there was no way to spend money, Leon chatted with the desert merchant for a few more words, then left his stall and took Sofia to the only building here, the Oasis Shop. "Why are you here again? And with a girl I don't know? Are you here to show off your charm to me?"

After pushing open the door of Sandy's Oasis store, Leon heard Sandy's sarcastic tone before he even saw where Sandy was.

As expected, the scene appeared, making Leon sigh. Then he took out the sweet peas and fragrant berries prepared for Sandy. In an instant, a rich and stimulating fragrance surged on Leon's palm.

"Oh, a gift from Stardew Valley. I like it very much. It seems that you came prepared." Sandy, who was sitting on the sofa, saw what Leon took out and immediately smiled. He quickly stepped forward and took the thing from Leon's hand. His attitude also became much friendlier.

However, this kindness was not directed at Leon, but at Sophia, who was standing behind Leon and acting a little timidly.

"Honey, would you like a glass of ice milk? We also have ice camel milk."

"No, thank you." Sophia declined Sandy's kindness, but her eyes were secretly observing Sandy's situation. The first conclusion she came to was that she was a beautiful sister full of enthusiasm and beauty.

But unfortunately, Sophia's first impression of Sandy was not very good because she didn't like the way Leon spoke to her.

Sandy saw what Sofia was thinking and rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction before saying, "Buy seeds, or go to the club?"

"Let's go to the club." Leon was not angry that Sandy was still disgusted after accepting the gift. He asked with a smile: "I just don't know if Mr. Qi is in the club. I want to talk to him about something and express my gratitude."

"I don't know either. After all, I don't have a membership card, so I can't go up by myself. You can go and take a look by yourself, but the pretty girl you brought with you probably doesn't have a membership card either. It won't be easy to bring her up." Sandy put away his "disgust" when he heard this, and reminded Leon with a frown.

"We have to give it a try. At worst, I can go up and say hello to Mr. Qi and ask if I can bring Sophia in." Lyon was not worried about this. Although Mr. Qi had a special personality, he was still friendly and easy to talk to, at least to Lyon.

He probably wouldn't refuse a little girl who wanted to express her gratitude to him and the gifts she brought. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Lyon was still talking to the desert merchant, he noticed some attention from the oasis shop, and the source of that attention was quite high.

"Probably, but it doesn't matter. Even if she can't get in, I will help you take care of her. Although you are not very likable, I have to say that every girl around you is very nice. I don't know why they like a guy like you." Sandy complained to Leon quite unhappily, and also gave his own assurance.

"If she really wants to meet the boss, I can help her. I'll just consider it as a way to repay the Stardew Valley specialties you brought me."
