Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Of course I have tried!" Lin Xia said helplessly, "I don't know if it's due to the environment or something, but the fish there are more common fish that we also have here. Even with a mithril fishing rod, it's hard to catch them, and the hook rate is not high. And the fish that we don't have here simply won't bite the bait."

"So, you need bait and fishing tackle?"

"Is there such a thing? Then wouldn't the fishing tackle shop there be doing very good business?"

“Do they have many people fishing there?”

Everyone started talking at once, and Lin Xia could only tell everyone what she knew.

Moreover, Lin Xia discovered that the fishing in Mineral Town, which was not difficult at all, did not arouse everyone's interest. Instead, this challenging activity aroused everyone's enthusiasm for fishing.

That night, everyone chatted and discussed to their heart's content, and finally came to the conclusion that the special geographical environment of Stardew Valley caused the raw materials to have various properties, so the various items produced also had various different properties.

Gotz also pulled Lin Xia and Gray aside and asked them what was special about the structure of the house. Lin Xia and Gray said embarrassedly, "Gotz, we have only been there for a few days. It is impossible for us to be so close that we can enter the house right away, right?"

"We only looked at the grocery store, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, and bar lobby there, which were not much different from ours. The exterior of the house also had its own characteristics, but we really didn't know much about the other internal structures."

"By the way, does the bar there also serve take-out food? How does it taste?" Dart finally asked the part that interested him the most.

"It's full of regional characteristics. Besides, didn't I tell you that the food there has attribute bonuses? Some of the food can temporarily improve your professional skill level after eating it."

"What do you mean by this?" Everyone immediately became interested.

"For example, some dishes can replenish your physical strength while also increasing your original fishing level by 1-3 levels for a few hours; or increase your gathering level so that you can get more when gathering; or increase your mining level, etc." Lin Xia explained to everyone one by one, "And, they don't just sell dishes in bars, grocery stores and fishing tackle stores also sell some dishes!

By the way, they also have a famous supermarket there, but the prices there are much more expensive than those in the grocery store. Many local residents are unwilling to go to the supermarket to buy things that they can buy in the grocery store. But the supermarket also has things that the grocery store doesn't have, such as a kind of cola that can increase walking speed after drinking it, and it only takes a short time. "

"Wow, the competition there is so fierce~"

"Yes, yes~"

"Why did you take so long this time? Didn't you say you would be back in a week at most?"

Gray and Lin Xia looked at each other, and Gray spoke first: "If we were just making a furnace, the speed would be very fast, but I also asked the blacksmith there to help me make a gem forging machine. They don't have one. They only have a gem replicator, which is not suitable for the gem ores here. We can only develop it temporarily, so it took a few days."

"Then, I heard from the mayor there that there was a winter night market from the 15th to the 17th. It was very lively and you could buy things that you couldn't buy at other times. So I asked Gray to stay with me for another day. After attending the night market on the first night, we set off and returned the next day." Lin Xia continued to explain.

"There's actually a night market, what's it like?"

Speaking of this night market, Lin Xia became excited, and Gray was also very excited. After all, they were young people. The two immediately described the grand occasion of the Stardew Valley Night Market to everyone.

"There are all kinds of shops there, selling candy bars, seeds of all kinds of crops, interior decorations, and yes, there is also a famous painter named Lupini who sells his own paintings there, which are very popular!"

"Painter~" Speaking of painters, everyone suddenly remembered that there is a sculptor who is said to be very famous in their town.

Everyone looked at the handsome Brandon at the same time. Brandon seemed to be used to being the center of attention and was not affected at all. He even happily asked Lin Xia about the content and quality of the paintings.

Lin Xia could still say a few words about the content, but did she look like someone who could appreciate art? She could only change the subject and talk about other things at the night market.

"By the way, there is also a coffee merchant there who provides everyone with a cup of coffee for free every hour. It is very refreshing and has a great effect!"

"Will you be unable to sleep if you drink coffee so late at night?"

"Hey, it's a night market, so you can't go without coffee. There are a lot of activities there, and there are even challenge competitions!"

"Yes, there is a mermaid exhibition held on a mermaid ship. Players need to watch the exhibition and remember the order of the music to succeed in the challenge. In the end, they will receive a pearl as a reward." Gray must be particularly interested in this activity. His voice became louder. "Unfortunately, I didn't remember the order clearly and lost."

"Are mermaids beautiful?" People are indeed more concerned about this question.

Thinking of the mermaid they saw, they both shuddered. It was funny, but not beautiful. The fat fish tail~

"What else is there to do?"

"There is also a deep-sea fishing activity. Lin Xia went to participate, but I didn't. I am aware of my own fishing level." Gray said immediately.

"In order to participate in this event, I bought the highest-grade fishing rods, fishing gear and bait from the owner of the fishing tackle shop there, but it cost a lot of money." Speaking of this, Lin Xia sighed. However, as long as one likes fishing, no one can resist the charm of high-difficulty fishing!

"To participate in deep-sea fishing, you need to pay 1000 points, and then go to the bottom of the sea to fish, where you can catch some rare fish species that you can't normally see, such as midnight squid, ghost fish, blobfish, etc."

That night, most of the residents of Mineral Town had some understanding of the winter in Stardew Valley, and they all found it very strange.

Mayor Thomas finally couldn't help but come over and ask Lin Xia and Gray whether the mayor there had made things difficult for them.

Lin Xia and Gray accused Thomas of being dishonest and not telling them in advance, which resulted in the two of them being almost sent home as soon as they arrived!

Thomas was too embarrassed to apologize repeatedly, and the few of them exchanged messages to show that there was no big problem. However, Lin Xia still seriously advised Thomas that if he wanted to save his face in the winter of next year, he should keep a low profile. Haha!
