A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 943 Mr. Qi’s Disdain
"Oh!"

After successfully landing, Leon rubbed his burning butt, calming the bad feeling in his chest and soothing the cold air that was forced into his lungs by the high-speed descent. It took him a long time to feel a lot more comfortable.

He didn't know how many floors he had descended using the vertical shaft, but the process was really uncomfortable. The vertical shaft was not straight up and down, otherwise, due to the height difference, Lyon would not just feel pain in his butt when he landed.

The interior of this vertical shaft is actually very similar to a slide, but it is not smooth, but rather bumpy. This is why Leon's butt is burning. Fortunately, Leon's skin has been strengthened by the Star Fruit three times, and its toughness and strength are still reliable, so his butt was not scratched by these bumps.

Apart from the burning stinging sensation caused by the high-speed friction, and the loss of a pair of pants and underwear, which exposed half of his buttocks, he did not suffer any physical damage.

But it’s hard to say about the mental aspect. After all, the slide inside the shaft is too steep and too dark. If you are claustrophobic, you may faint before falling. If you don’t have claustrophobia, it won’t be very comfortable either.

"Don't use this thing next time."

Feeling the coolness on his butt, Leon felt a headache, because he brought everything except a change of clothes. Now he could only continue exploring the mine with his bare butt.

Fortunately, there is no other living person here except Mr. Qi on the 100th floor, otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing.

"Yah"

Before Leon could see the situation on this floor clearly, an extremely piercing hissing sound made Leon subconsciously draw his weapon. He looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw a large purple bat with a wingspan of about one meter.

"Iridium Bat? Don't these things only appear after the 45th floor? My drilling shaft directly landed above the th floor?"

When the people of Lyon saw the appearance of this large, brightly colored, long-haired purple bat, they were stunned.

But the Iridium Bat would not give Leon any explanation, nor would it give Leon time to be dazed. After noticing Leon, its orange-yellow eyes glided directly towards Leon.

Lyon held the knife in front, and with a crisp clang, the blade of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife collided with the wings of the Iridium Bat, and a sound of metal clashing was heard.

Moreover, the wings of the iridium bat are not only sturdy but also very powerful. In this confrontation, Leon had a tendency to lean back. If it weren't for his spread legs stabilizing his lower body, this blow would have had the power to knock Leon over.

This made Leon realize that he had finally met a tough guy. He immediately focused all his attention on the iridium bat's body, guarding against its attack while also looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

The first attack failed, so the Iridium Bat spread its wings and flew into the sky, circling above Lyon's head. It did not rashly launch a second attack, and seemed to be looking for the right opportunity.

For a moment, the situation became deadlocked.

But Leon was very patient. He knew that it was impossible for him to move freely under the watchful eyes of the Iridium Bat, so he stayed where he was. However, the Iridium Bat became more and more impatient while waiting. Seeing that the human under him was like a sculpture without any movement, he finally could not bear it anymore. He flapped his wings to increase his flying altitude again, then folded his wings and used gravity to turn into a meteor and smashed towards Leon.

The iridium bat fell at an extremely fast speed, but Leon's reaction was not to be outdone. The Galaxy Watermelon Knife suddenly collided and turned into a giant blade. His legs turned into a bow stance and he took a small step back. At the same time, he swung his arms with all his strength to swing the giant blade, and hit the iridium bat with the broad blade like a batting posture.

"Boom!"

A crisp smashing sound exploded in the air, and the Iridium Bat was hit hard by the broad blade and its own impact. The huge impact knocked it unconscious and it fell to the ground helplessly.

Leon wasn't feeling well either. Both arms were numb, and his right knee slammed into the ground. His fingers gripping the hilt were trembling. But he managed to pull through. Under Leon's will, the giant blade shrank, transforming into a slender straight blade. Without a single stroke, he slashed directly at the fallen Iridium Bat's neck.

Obviously, the big bat relied entirely on its wings, and its neck covered with purple fluff did not pose any obstacle to Leon, so he easily took off its head.

There was no gushing of blood. When the ugly head of the iridium bat was separated from its body, it began to melt within seconds, leaving behind a bright purple metal ingot with rounded edges.

"Yohoo, not bad, not bad."

Seeing that the Iridium Bat actually left behind an iridium ingot as a legacy, Lyon was instantly happy. He picked it up from the ground and weighed it twice in his hand. Then he put it into his backpack with satisfaction, and looked around at the same time.

This mine, which has who knows how many layers, no longer has regular yellow stone brick walls, but very primitive rock walls. The ground is no longer a paved flat floor, but compacted gray soil.

"Finally, it looks a bit like a mine."

Leon complained, put away his weapon, rubbed his hands, and stretched his legs and feet. Feeling that his limbs were back under his control, he took out his pickaxe and started mining.

Apart from the iridium bat just now, no other monsters appeared on this floor, allowing Leon to find the stairwell leading to the next floor without any obstacles.

Going down the stairs to the next level, there was another small room. However, unlike the previous one, there was a treasure chest placed in the center of this room.

This made Leon's eyes light up, but he still had to make sure that the few scattered stones in the room were not disguised as rock crabs before he ran to open the box.

"Silky Men's Trousers (Clothing): A pair of trousers made of a special material, very comfortable to wear, and their unique smoothness seems to be the best companion for playing on the slide."

After Lyon took out the things in the box, his face looked a little strange. He looked at the appraisal given by the system, then looked at the gray-black trousers, opened his mouth, but finally did not complain.

Without having to guess, Leon knew that this must be something Mr. Qi prepared for him. Otherwise, how could he have such a coincidence that a pair of pants appeared? And there was a prefix of "silky", which meant that these pants were meant to make it easier for Leon to pass through the shaft.

Although the pants were leather pants, which made Leon feel a little uncomfortable, he still put them on obediently rather than fighting monsters and mining in the mine with his bare butt.

It's just as described, very comfortable to wear, and very close fitting without feeling tight, with excellent texture.

"thank you."

After putting on the pants and jumping a few times and taking a few steps, Lyon noticed that the pants were very stretchable. He immediately abandoned his dislike for the style of the leather pants and instead happily cupped his hands and bowed to the air around him to express his gratitude to Mr. Qi.

Although there are no cameras nearby, Leon believes that Mr. Qi will be able to see his statement. If that makes him happy, he can buy another leather jacket from the next box. At least he can have a set, because clothes made of this material are really comfortable to wear.

However, Lyon estimated that the probability of this happening would not be too high. The reason why Mr. Qi specially prepared such a pair of pants for himself as a supply was probably because of disgust. After all, no one likes to see a man with his butt exposed and dangling in front of their eyes, except for gays.
