A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 109 Small Magnetic Ring
Lyon curiously went over and opened the lids of the barrels, and found that most of the barrels were empty, with only two barrels still containing these supplies.

One of the barrels contained coal, and the other contained fifteen stacked and smelted copper ingots.

"Copper Ingot (Resource): A pure copper ingot."

Just looking at the corrosion on these tables and chairs, you can tell that no one has been here for a long time, so the things in these barrels are also ownerless. In order not to waste resources, Lyon put them all into his backpack.

It’s worth mentioning that there is a lot of coal. There are forty-six pieces in one bucket. Together with the fifteen finished copper ingots, the income from this trip is almost as much as what I would earn from digging in the mine for half a day.

After getting the things, Leon walked around the lounge again, but didn't find anything else worth noting. He returned the same way and went to another place. Finally, he saw a green slime in a remote small space.

This green slime is no different in size from the green slime encountered before, but the strange thing is that the tentacles on its head are not spherical, but five-pointed star-shaped.

Unfortunately, what the slime looked like had nothing to do with Leon. With a clean and sharp chop, the green slime was gone without a care in the world.

And at the place where its body disappeared, a staircase appeared, and its legacy items also appeared.

But the dropped item was not the common slime, but an iron ring with a bright red color.

"Long battles make you stronger, and your battle level rises by one.

In battle, you fully realized that in addition to weapons, you also need a strong body, and the recipe for the Strong Ring has been unlocked.

You have received the blessing of the God of War, and your physical fitness has been improved."

Before Leon picked up the ring, the system's prompt came first, and the meaning of this prompt was that Leon's combat level had been improved.

At the same time, the prompt is accompanied by a tingling sensation of electric current running through the whole body.

This feeling is wonderful, just like a tired body being relaxed by soaking in a hot spring. Not only does it eliminate Lyon's fatigue, Lyon can even feel the subtle changes in his body.

It is difficult to describe this change in words, but just tell him that his bones and muscles have been strengthened.

"Great." Leon clenched his fists, feeling the fullness in his bones and muscles, and he immediately became energetic.

Of course, the increase in combat level did not make Leon forget the ring dropped by the special green slime just now.

"Small Magnetic Ring (Ring): Increases the radius of your item collection."

"Um"

Looking at this vague explanation, Leon thought for a moment, then put the ring on his index finger.

This small magnetic ring automatically adjusted its size when it approached Leon's finger. After Leon easily put it on his index finger, the small magnetic ring reduced its diameter again, ensuring that it would not hurt Leon's skin while being firmly fixed on Leon's finger to prevent it from slipping and falling off.

This adaptive change is quite magical. At least Leon thinks it is very humane. He just doesn't know whether it is a characteristic of the ring itself or due to the help of the system.

However, since he was wearing the ring, Leon naturally would not treat it as a decoration. Instead, he took out a ball of slime from his backpack and threw it about half a meter away from himself.

Leon then tried to use his system backpack to collect the slime. Before that, he didn't reach out to touch it, nor did he use the Galaxy Watermelon Knife to make indirect contact, trying to absorb the slime from a distance. As Leon expected, it succeeded. The slime, which was more than half a meter away from Leon, disappeared directly at his will and appeared in his system backpack.

Then Lyon took it out again and threw it out. After several attempts, Lyon found the maximum storage radius of this small magnetic ring. It can store items remotely within a range of two meters with Lyon as the center.

It's a pity that this kind of storage is really remote storage, rather than being absorbed into Leon's hand. Otherwise, Leon could use this ring to develop some new moves, such as throwing out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife, and then using this feature to absorb it back to complete a long-distance relay. For specific battle scenes, you can refer to the sword-controlling technique.

However, it is not without other features. That is, within the same distance, Leon can also place the items in the backpack in any area within two meters around him. This function also gives Leon some unique ideas, but it still needs to be experimented.

But not now. Lyon just wants to hold on until his strength recovers and finish this trip to the mine as soon as possible.

After going down five floors along the stairs in the cave, this floor seems a bit unremarkable. The space is quite large and you can see the surrounding rock walls at a glance.

There were no traces of monsters except stones on this floor, which made Leon feel a little regretful. After all, he had just upgraded his combat level, and he wanted to test how much his physical ability had increased through a battle.

Continuing to look around, Leon discovered that there was a piece of artificially paved stone floor remaining on the rock layer on the ground, but there were signs of damage on it. He didn't know whether it was destroyed by monsters or smashed by falling rocks.

Of course, what attracts the most attention is the elevator located not far from the stairs.

There are special steps at the elevator entrance. The elevator is built into the rock wall, as if embedded in the mountain, and the main body color is very close to the color of the mountain wall.

At the same time, Leon also noticed that the wooden elevator door was engraved with Yuba's mark, and next to the elevator, there was an operating button and an electrical box.

Leon came over and pulled open the cover of the electrical box, looking at the switch pointing to OFF, which showed that the power was off.

However, Leon did not rush to push it to ON. Instead, he carefully checked whether the wires were loose. After confirming that there was no danger of leakage, he pushed the switch up.

As the elevator was powered on, Leon also noticed that the indicator light above the elevator turned green, which meant that the elevator was ready to operate. As long as Leon wanted, he could use the button on the electrical box to control the elevator to sink to this floor at any time, and then take the elevator back to the mine entrance on the surface and escape from this depressing and dangerous underground mine.

However, based on the principle of being here now, Lyon decided to take advantage of his abundant physical strength to knock down all the stones on this layer.

I don’t know if it’s because of my luck or the depth of the mine that has led to an improvement in the quality of the mineral resources.

This time, Lyon actually mined copper ore from ordinary colored stones, as well as coal that had never been seen in stones before. He even found two crystal caves.

Even more fortunately, Lyon also encountered two round dark gem mines together, one of which produced citrine and the other produced amethyst.

"Amethyst (mineral): a purple crystal."

Sometimes Leon doesn't even want to read the system's notes, because it doesn't make any difference whether he reads them or not, it's absolutely useless, but the system will do this when Leon gets the things in his hands, and you can't refuse even if you want to, and it's just trying to make its presence felt.

"It's time to go back."

After knocking off the last piece of copper ore, Leon put the fallen copper ore into his pocket and walked towards the elevator entrance.
