A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 105 Don't force yourself if you don't have a job

So Leon didn't knock the stone immediately, but took out the Galaxy machete and deliberately extended the length of the machete to avoid getting too close to the monster that he had not seen yet but already emitted such a strong stench.

If Leon were to be contaminated by this stench during the battle, he would definitely return to the mine without hesitation.

Then he went out and dived into the lake outside the mine. Leon didn't dare to go out and see anyone until he soaked for half an hour to get rid of the smell.

At the same time, Leon did not forget Marlon's instructions. While moving towards the slime he could see, he did not get close to the rock wall, nor did he step on the large area of ​​sand. He remained vigilant throughout the process.

This cautious attitude was obviously not in vain. Just after Lyon took a few steps, he saw with his own eyes a large insect the size of a head, with a green body, a chitinous shell, and a pair of gray-white wings flying towards him from the shadow on the rock wall.

The straight flight path and not-so-fast movements allowed Lyon to easily capture its flight trajectory. He simply raised the extended machete in his hand and chopped it down vertically with great force.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the insect's chitinous carapace, slicing through the soft tissue beneath, splitting it in two. A large amount of sticky green liquid gushed out from the gaping wound, emitting a stench several times stronger than the air.

After killing it with one blow, Leon took a step back away from the falling body of the stink bug, covering his mouth and nose, trying to resist the extremely disgusting smell.

But it still mixed into the air and entered the nasal cavity between breaths. The water he drank to replenish his energy and the bread he swallowed were now churning in Lyon's stomach, making Lyon very uncomfortable.

"What a disgusting thing! How can it be so smelly? Did you drink Ganges water?"

After taking several steps back, Lyon felt that the air around him was a little fresher. Although it was only relatively fresh and the stench was still there, at least it was not so disgusting that made Lyon want to vomit.

On the other side, the body of the flying stink bug had weathered away, leaving behind a pink, sticky-looking lump of flesh. However, Leon had no desire to pick it up because it was too disgusting.

At this moment, Lyon was more concerned about his Galaxy Watermelon Knife. As a powerful weapon that had just chopped the stink bug, it was definitely Lyon's strongest support in the mine.

But the thought of the blade coming into contact with the bug at close range made Leon's scalp tingle.

If there were still traces of the bug's body fluids on the machete, Leon wasn't sure if he would still want this galactic weapon.

Of course, this was just a joke. After all, Lyon didn't want to fight this bug with his bare hands. Picking up the extended version of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife, Lyon glanced at the blade and found that it was as gorgeous as ever, and there was no strange residue on it. He breathed a sigh of relief.

This may be the physical expression of the idiom "successful battle without bloodshed".

With his previous experience, Lyon continued to move forward steadily with the Galaxy Watermelon Knife in hand. Although he had killed a stink bug, God knew if there was a second one. In order to avoid being attacked by such a disgusting thing, Lyon planned to walk around the entire three-level underground mine first before starting to knock on the ore.

Sure enough, after walking around for a long time, Lyon saw this kind of stink bug again. He still pounced on it foolishly and cut it in half with a single stroke, removing the stench from the stink bug. Lyon really doubted whether this thing was worthy of the noble and evil profession of a monster.

"Ok?"

As soon as he killed the bug, Leon noticed that the green slimes not far away were jumping towards him, as if they had discovered him as an outsider. Unlike their previous courtship state, these three green slimes were rushing straight towards him.

The leading slime was noticeably larger than the two following behind, and also less rounded. However, aside from its size, it wasn't much different from the other two slimes. It was a shame that the three little guys came at him aggressively, but Leon simply slashed through them with a single blow of his sword, effectively slicing down the three green slimes. This time, the drops included not only the slime but also a purple crystal the size of a baby's fist.

"Amethyst (mineral): a purple crystal."

"System, if we don't have the ability, then we shouldn't just mark the item information. What's the difference between the information you introduced and nonsense?"

After picking up the amethyst and looking at the item labeling information given by the system, Lyon finally couldn't help but complain, because the description was too casual and perfunctory.

Unfortunately, the system didn't pay any attention to Lyon, and Lyon didn't care. He happily put the amethyst into his backpack.

If he remembered correctly, the place where this amethyst fell should be where the larger green slime died. It seemed that the large green slime picked up this amethyst from somewhere and swallowed it directly.

Originally, Leon thought that this big green slime was an elite monster or a leader monster, but after a while, he found out that it was just fat caused by something else in its body.

However, Leon also wrote down this information. Next time he encounters this kind of slime that is not round and is a little fatter, he must not miss it. This time it swallowed amethyst, what if the other one he encounters next time swallows colorful fragments?
Although the chances are small, there is always a chance, just like buying a lottery ticket, isn't it all for the sake of chasing a dream?

But Leon was very sure that the probability of the big slime opening up colorful fragments must be much higher than winning the jackpot in the lottery.

Leon did not let go of the slime and threw it into his backpack. However, facing the sticky piece of meat dropped by the stink bug, Leon was a little hesitant.

It stands to reason that a thief would not leave empty-handed. He killed the monster at the risk of getting himself killed, and the things it dropped should not be left here in vain.

But looking at the disgusting appearance and the discordant colors, Leon was still a little hesitant.

In the end, reason overcame disgust, and Leon picked up the piece of meat with a galaxy watermelon knife, and the system also gave an introduction.

"Worm Meat (Monster Loot): A small ball of juicy worm meat."

"."

The word count is fine, but isn't the adjective "juicy" a bit forced? System, are you paid by bugs? This description is a bit unscrupulous.

Leon didn't want to know how juicy this thing was. He just wanted to know if he could put the insect meat into his backpack remotely.

The conclusion is feasible. It seems that anyone who has had contact with Leon, whether directly or indirectly, can be collected by the system backpack, so Leon is very glad that he avoided the stage of holding insect meat.

　I have to go out to do some work in the afternoon, so I used the saved drafts. I basically spent the morning typing, and I also have to complain about typos, which is quite a headache for me. I'll find some free time later and proofread it from beginning to end. I'll leave now, I haven't eaten yet.
