A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 114 Your grandson has grown crooked
"Balance?"

Lyon muttered the word and then looked at Malone.

"What does our Explorers Guild think of the legend of Yu Ba creating the world?"

"What do you mean?" Ma Long looked at Lyon in confusion and asked.

"So you believe in the existence of Yuba?" As an atheist, Leon didn't quite believe in the story of God creating the world. However, with the special features of this world and the abilities provided by the system, he had more or less noticed the various gods and Yuba making their presence felt.

"Of course, this might be a myth to ordinary people, but for explorers like us who have been traveling to dangerous places for years, we basically know that Yuba really exists. There is too much evidence to tell us about Yuba's greatness."

As he said that, Malone asked Leon: "Don't you believe it? You used Yuba's forge to create the Galaxy Weapon."

"I'm not sure." Leon's expression was a little conflicted. "Then let me ask this another way. There's a creator god up there. Don't you feel oppressed? Everything in the world is controlled by him. If he gets unhappy, it could be a disaster for all life in this world."

"Hahaha, so you are worried about this. I can tell you clearly that you won't, because we are Yuba's children. Have you ever seen a mother hurt her own child?" Ma Long laughed and complained to Lyon.

"I've actually seen this." Leon nodded seriously. After all, not all parents are qualified to be parents.

Marlon was a little speechless after hearing this, but he still comforted Leon, "But Yuba won't, because the starting point of human civilization was led by Yuba himself. You can go to the library to borrow Yuba's Genesis Record for detailed stories. The descriptions in it are basically Yuba's original stories, and the authenticity can be guaranteed."

"I'll go check it out." Leon didn't discuss the issue with Malone. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that it was already evening. He immediately said, "I should leave. Today's trip to the mines has exhausted me both physically and mentally. I need a good meal and some rest."

"Go back. I will write to inform you once you have completed the document processing." Malone had no intention of keeping Lyon, but he kindly sent Lyon out of the Explorers' Guild.

Before leaving, Leon expressed his gratitude to Malone. After all, Malone told him a lot of things, and this information was of great help to him in understanding the world.

"It looks like you and Marlon had a very pleasant chat."

On the way back, Leon specifically found Linus. After all, his bicycle was still in Linus's hands. As soon as they met, Linus spoke first.

"Yes, the Malones are pretty good." Lyon nodded.

"So this is the answer you got when you tested him?" Linus demanded.

"How do you know?" Leon looked at Linus in confusion and asked.

“The wind told me,” Linus replied.

Although it sounded nonsense, when Linus said this, Leon felt that it should be true.

"It's just a joking way to confirm some guesses." Lyon explained.

"That's because it's the first time he's met you and he doesn't know you well, otherwise he would have seen through your teasing at a glance. This is not a good thing. Malone is very powerful, and explorers like them are usually quicker with their hands than their brains. Once you go too far, he would beat you up and you wouldn't be able to find a reason to seek justice for yourself." Linus reminded Leon.

"I don't think so. He is very interested in me and will only tolerate me until he achieves his goal." Leon answered with certainty.

"Oh? What do you think his goal is?" Linus asked Leon with a smile. "Find someone to help him take over the position of branch president," Leon replied.

“How did you know?” Linus demanded.

"He loves money and is very powerful. This kind of person would not be willing to spend his retirement in a peaceful place like Stardew Valley. Here, apart from monitoring the monsters in abandoned mines, he basically has nothing else to do, and he can't make much money." Leon concluded.

"You have a keen observation. You and Jill are saying the same thing. However, he doesn't need you to take his place. He just needs you to grow up. That way, he can use the fact that there are strong people in Stardew Valley who can protect their city as an excuse to transfer out of Pelican Town. That's why he agreed so easily when I invited him to teach you some common sense about adventure."

Linus first praised Leon, and then pointed out that the answer was different from Leon's guess.

"If that were the case, he should have left here long ago. After all, with you here and Mage Rasmodes, the safety of Stardew Valley is absolutely guaranteed."

Leon asked doubtfully after hearing this.

"He doesn't know about the existence of Rasmodesm. As for me? I'm old now. Now I'm just a homeless person who wanders the streets and makes a living by picking up trash and rummaging through trash cans. I'm not presentable." Linus explained to Leon with a smile.

“I don’t believe it.” Leon shook his head and complained, “I think even if you let me use one hand now, I still can’t beat you.”

"Hahaha, what an interesting kid." Linus laughed at Leon and then said, "You are still young. Don't worry too much. Young people should have the youthful vigor."

"Think twice before acting is my motto. It's my nature and it's hard to change." Lyon sighed.

"That's a very philosophical statement." Linus exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Leon.

"Okay, take your bike and go back to town. It would be appropriate for you to have a good meal and a good sleep."

"Can I invite you to have dinner with me?" Leon suggested immediately. After all, the person in front of him was definitely a real big shot. If he cultivated the relationship a little, he would have someone to rely on in the future.

"No, I've already eaten. There are many delicious foods in this season, and the fish in the lake next to the mine are also fat." Linus declined Leon's invitation.

Seeing this, Lyon didn't want to force it. He took the bicycle and rode it away from the northern foothills.

Linus stood on the hillside in front of his camp, watching Leon's departing back. Only when Leon disappeared from his sight did he sit down by the campfire and light it.

As the flames grew, they grew bigger and bigger, and eventually the flames half a person's height began to condense into the face of an old man.

"Old friend, what do you want to talk to me about?" The human face condensed from flames actually spoke.

"Your grandson has grown crooked now. Did you know that?" Linus stared at the face in the flames and complained, "He's so smart that he looks like a politician. He's completely different from you, a foolish old ghost."

　After thinking about it, I decided to fill the hole in advance, otherwise I’m afraid I will forget the hole I dug.
