A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 110 Just a joke

After pressing the button marked for the 5th floor, Leon quietly waited for the elevator to descend while observing this row of buttons.

There are 24 buttons in total, ranging from 0 to 120 levels, of which only the 0 and 5 level number keys are lit with green light, while the rest of the numbers are dim. Lyon naturally knows what they represent.

Thinking about how it took him half a day to get down to the fifth floor, Leon felt an indescribable sense of frustration. Every time he encountered a stairwell leading to the next floor, it was under the last rock of that floor. He didn't know if it was set up that way or if he was just unlucky.

If he continues at this efficiency, Leon doesn't know how long it will take him to reach the bottom of the mine. What's even more outrageous is that Leon has knocked down all the stones in the fifth-level mining area, and even his combat skills have been upgraded by one level, but his mining skills have not been upgraded yet.

Is it really that difficult to upgrade the mining level? Are the stones and minerals I've mined not up to standard?

"Long-term mining work has given you a new understanding of mining, and your mining level has increased by two levels.

In pursuit of mining efficiency, you decided to master a more efficient mining method. The cherry bomb recipe and stair recipe have been unlocked.

You have received the blessing of the God of Forge, and your physical strength has been enhanced."

"."

After listening to this belated notice and the leapfrogging upgrade method that directly reached two levels in mining skills, Leon was silent for a long time before finally complaining.

"Why didn't you wait until I reached level 10 in mining before notifying me of the upgrade?"

“I forgot before.”

"Ugh"

Faced with the system's rare response to his complaints, Leon was unable to continue speaking.

The lethality of the two words "forget" directly shattered the resentment in Leon's heart. He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out. In the end, Leon could only let out an emotional sigh and boarded the elevator that had successfully landed and opened the door.

The interior of the elevator is not fully enclosed, but semi-enclosed like the hanging basket on the construction site. The floor under your feet is a solid metal structure. There is nothing on it except a suspended ceiling and electric lights.

It was simply surrounded by a few metal railings, which were unable to block the cold wind brought by the elevator as it rose, allowing the wind to penetrate straight into the elevator and torment the passengers inside.

Seeing such a simple elevator, Leon was not concerned about safety, but whether he could use this elevator shaft to speed run.

For example, use the lifting rope to go directly to the 120th floor underground, open the elevator there and get there in one step.

But after looking at the smooth rock wall outside the elevator that could act as a mirror, and the elevator shaft that was just the right size to accommodate the elevator, with only two or three centimeters of space reserved, Leon gave up the idea.

Because he was not sure whether he could land smoothly on such a smooth rock wall, nor was he sure whether the final result of this method would lead to the 120th floor underground or the underworld. For the sake of his life and to have an elevator to use when going down to the mine in the future, he decided to forget this evil way of speed running.

He probably won’t die, but I don’t know if the elevator will be damaged.

Rather than taking this risk, Lyon felt that it would be more stable, safe and efficient to find some people to help him go down to the mine.

"Ding!"

Along with the sound of the elevator arriving, the elevator door opened smoothly, allowing Leon Nengou to walk out of the elevator.

After getting out of the elevator, Leon did not leave immediately, but moved around in place for a while in order to restore his body temperature that had been forcibly stripped away by the cold wind that had just blown him in the elevator for more than twenty seconds.

When Leon felt the goose bumps on his arms shrink as his body temperature rose, he half-covered his eyes with his palms and walked out of the mine. The sunlight outside was no longer so glaring, after all, it was almost dusk.

But Lyon, who had been underground for quite a long time, still felt the dazzling light.

Fortunately, Lyon had covered his eyes in advance, so he did not suffer from temporary blindness due to the sunlight.

After standing in the sun for a while and making sure his eyes had adapted to the light intensity on the surface, Leon turned and walked towards the east side of the mine.

This time he had accomplished the task of opening the elevator on the fifth floor of the mine, which was considered to have completed Malone's initial test.

He was going to go to the Adventurer's Guild to ask Ma Long about the next entry-level mission, and at the same time check whether the money he had was enough to buy some equipment.

After all, having experienced the special abilities of the small magnet ring, Leon was quite curious whether the effects of other rings could also bring him such surprises.

By the way, you can also ask Ma Long if you can put rings on all ten of your fingers. If so, you will become very powerful with the rings with special abilities. You may even be able to play the role of a villain when you meet a sinister man wearing an iron lump.

Lyon had long known that the Pelican Town Explorers Guild headquarters was located next to the mine.

Moreover, before entering the mine in the morning, Lyon noticed the extremely conspicuous two-story wooden structure located in the east of the mine. This is why Lyon went east as soon as he went out.

"The Explorers' Guild is open daily from 2 PM to 2 AM. Non-guild explorers are prohibited from entering. Employers seeking explorers for commissions can simply place their commissions in the mailbox at the entrance. Unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited. The Adventurers' Association will punish any trespassers in accordance with the Fingir Republic's trespassing laws."

Before entering the Explorer's Guild, Leon noticed the notice posted at the door, which made Leon hesitate.

After all, he is not yet a member of the Explorers Guild. If he goes in, would it be considered illegal trespassing?

But if he doesn't go in, he won't be able to find Malone to hand in the task and get the next round of test tasks to join the Explorers Guild, so he is very conflicted.

This kind of black humor, such as why fight Karazhan without graduating from Karazhan, is a reality for Leon now.

"Come right in when you're back safely. I heard your approaching footsteps and was talking to Jill about your initiation. We talked for quite some time and didn't see you come in. I thought something had happened to you. Why were you standing there in a daze?"

Just as Lyon was thinking about this question, Malone opened the door of the Explorer's Guild, looked Lyon up and down, and then asked Lyon in confusion.

"I'm struggling with this," Leon replied, pointing to the notice at the door.

Ma Long took a glance and immediately understood what Leon meant. He explained helplessly, "These are just to scare people. After all, many bored guys will use various excuses to disturb us. So to avoid trouble, I posted this thing. It has nothing to do with you. You can come in directly."

"Are you sure? Why do I always feel that you want to trick me into coming in, and then kill me for trespassing into the Explorer's Guild, just to take the Galaxy Weapon in my hand and make it your own weapon?" Leon asked Malone seriously.

Ma Long was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Leon quietly for a long time, and finally turned around and went into the house without hesitation.

After a moment, he was seen walking out with a long sword that was the same color as Lyon Galaxy Watermelon Knife, but it was obviously more handsome.

"Look! What is this? I already have this Galaxy Sword. How could I be interested in your weird-looking blade? Besides, I'm a veteran of the Explorers' Guild and the president of the Pelican Town Explorers' Guild branch. How could I murder a junior like you just for a Galaxy weapon?"

Seeing Ma Long jumping up and down in anger, constantly waving the Galaxy Sword in front of Lyon, as if he wanted to stab himself to death with one sword, Lyon hurriedly explained.

"It's just a joke, it's just a joke, don't be angry, President Malone, I have already turned on the power of the fifth floor elevator and I'm here to complete the task."
