A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 111 Want money? No!
Upon hearing this, Ma Long took a deep breath, and after a long while, he calmly retracted the Galaxy Sword. He stared at Leon for a long time and said, "I suddenly regret agreeing to let you join the Explorer's Guild."

"Why?" Lyon asked doubtfully. Was Malone angry because of this joke?
"Because I think your mental state is not very stable and you have paranoia. Although this condition makes you have more acute senses in combat awareness, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, I am afraid that you will be hacked to death because of this problem. After all, not everyone in the Adventurer's Guild is as calm as me." Malone explained.

Lyon recalled how furious Malone had just been and didn't think Malone had a calm character at all. However, considering that he had already played a joke on him and was almost hacked to death, Lyon decided to respect his future president.

"Don't worry, President Ma Long. I only like to joke with people close to me. I treat strangers with courtesy. The things you're worried about won't happen."

"Haha, then our relationship is not that close, and what you said is really infuriating." Ma Long complained with a sneer.

"Then can I still join the Explorers Guild?" Leon asked. After all, this was the main purpose of his visit to Malone.

"Of course, as long as you pass the test. You've already opened the fifth-floor elevator today, so you should have experienced some battles. So, go kill fifty green slimes and return safely. Then I'll let you join the Explorer's Guild."

Ma Long immediately issued a new task to Lyon.

But the number increased fivefold. Originally, only ten needed to be killed. However, considering that he had just been broken down by Leon's words and had lost his composure in front of Leon, Ma Long felt that he should let Leon know what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young.

"Fifty?" Leon glanced at Marlon and asked, "Does it count if I've already killed some?"

"Okay, as long as you can bring back fifty pieces of slime, I will consider you successful. And I don't need the slime, I just want it as proof that you really killed fifty green slimes." Marlon confirmed immediately after hearing this.

Although he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Leon's previous joke, Malone also felt that asking Leon to kill 50 green slimes was a bit too much.

Not only did he relax the conditions, he also specifically stated that Leon would be considered successful if he only saw fifty pieces of slime.

As an explorer, Malone has killed countless slimes, so he naturally knows how much slime mud a green slime can drop, a little at best, and even three or four at best.

He didn't take into account the items dropped by the green slime that Leon encountered before, so the difficulty of this task was not too difficult in theory.

At most, it would just take a little more time, which would also hone Leon's combat experience and patience, so that this guy wouldn't start to get cocky when facing an easy battle with Galaxy weapons.

But what shocked him was that Leon actually started to take out slime from the void and began to count it in front of him.

"123515253"

"Wait, that's enough." Looking at the pile of slime in front of Leon, Ma Long hurriedly stopped Leon from digging out the slime, and then asked in confusion: "Where did you get so much slime?"

"Drops." Leon replied.

"Didn't you only get to the fifth floor?" Malone asked. "Yeah, on the fourth floor, we encountered a monster layer full of slimes. I got most of my slime from that floor," Leon explained.

"You encountered a cursed area on the fourth floor? With your luck, didn't you check your fortune before leaving? Didn't you know you should choose a lucky day to go down to the mine? You encountered a cursed area on the fourth floor. Your luck today must be negative."

Upon hearing this conclusion, Malone was dumbfounded. He had never seen a cursed area below the 5th floor in the mine, which meant it was full of monsters.

"Today's Fortune Telling? Where can I watch it? On TV or in the newspaper?" Leon asked in confusion. He knew about this program, which could be watched on the TV in the game, but the key point was that he had also searched for this program on the TV in the house, but apart from the weather forecast and the cooking queen, he had never seen the appearance of the program Today's Fortune Telling.

"."

After a moment's silence, Malone began to introduce: "It's on TV, but you need a specific way to access it. You need to press seven sevens on the remote control to jump to the Today's Divination Channel hosted by Velvet."

After saying this, Ma Long couldn't help but complain: "You even know the secret of Yuba's forging table, but you don't know how to watch today's divination channel. I really don't understand how your elders taught you."

"I'm just an ordinary farmer. How would I know about this mysterious information?" Leon replied.

"Haha, who are you kidding? The forging method of Galaxy weapons and Yuba's forging table are secrets that even the senior explorers of the Explorers Guild don't know." Malone looked at Lyon with disdain, and was very contemptuous of Lyon's attempt to feign ignorance.

"I was just lucky enough to get the multicolored fragments from the Vientiane Crystal Cave, and then I happened to go to the Calico Desert. After I found the three stone pillars, I discovered that they reacted with the multicolored fragments, and then I got the Galaxy Weapon in a daze." Lyon made up a half-true and half-false reason in response to Malone's complaints.

"Keep making it up. I'll believe you even if you say Linus told you. After all, that guy doesn't watch TV." Malone still didn't believe what Lyon said.

On the contrary, when Leon heard the news, he asked curiously: "Linus also knows about Yuba's forging table?"

"Of course. Who do you think was guarding the exit of this abandoned mine when a wave of monsters erupted and the Adventurer's Guild had not yet arrived?" Malone answered subconsciously, and then realized that Leon seemed to be unaware of this information, so he immediately shut up and changed the subject.

"That's all old news, let's not talk about it anymore. Now that we have enough people, come inside. You can fill out a form and pay the dues, and then you can officially join the Explorers Guild."

"I have to pay money? Then I won't join." Lyon immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal. After all, he was extremely poor now. Not only would he not get paid if he joined the Explorers' Guild, but he would also have to pay membership fees. He would not do such a losing business.

"Is it free to apply for the certificate? Without an Explorer Certificate, you can't accept monster hunting commissions. Each commission starts at at least 20G, and the membership fee is only G, and it's paid in full. Do you know how to do the math?"

Malone almost laughed out of anger when he heard that Lyon refused the invitation to join the Explorer's Guild because of the membership fee.
