A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 16 This is not scientific at all

I walked out of the wooden house and looked at the dim sky outside. The air was a little moist, but no raindrops fell.

But looking at the clouds in the sky, Leon knew that the time for the rain to fall would not be too far away. The dark clouds were heading this way, and the wind mixed with cold and damp air seemed to be telling people that a heavy rain was on the way.

Glancing at the crops on the ground, Leon was pleasantly surprised to find that some of them had already sprouted. It had only been two days since he planted the first batch of seeds, and some of them had already sprouted. The land in Stardew Valley was indeed very fertile and special.

Because it was about to rain, Lyon had no intention of taking out the kettle to water the plants. Waiting for the raindrops to fall was not as convenient as watering the plants one by one by himself.

"quack"

At this moment, a crow actually landed on the cultivated land. While cawing at the top of its lungs, it actually tried to dig its beak into the soil to dig out the seeds in the soil and eat them.

Could Leon just watch this crow plunder his property? So he took a step forward, took out his sickle and swung it at the crow.

The crow was also startled by Leon's action. It flapped its wings and flew into the air, cawing loudly, as if cursing Leon for his sneak attack.

Leon frowned as he looked at the crow. This kind of bird was very smart and vindictive. This time, he was hated by this guy. What if this guy took advantage of his absence to destroy his crops? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
So Lyon looked up at the crow circling over the farm. The crow was reluctant to leave for a long time, and Lyon did not dare to disappear in front of the crow rashly. He was worried that the crow would land and destroy the crops when he left.

The stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes, and then raindrops began to fall from the sky. The crow finally fled the farm quickly because its wings were soaked by the rain, making it difficult for it to fly.

Lyon breathed a sigh of relief, as he no longer needed to keep an eye on this bully in the bird world for the time being.

However, prevention should be taken in advance.

The older generation of farmers had many ways to prevent animals from invading farmland, but the most widespread and frequently used one was the scarecrow.

If it were in the game, Leon only needed to reach the first level of farming to unlock the blueprint of the scarecrow, which he could place in the fields to drive away crows. However, the real system does not seem to have such a system.

However, making a scarecrow was not too difficult. Since it was raining and there was nothing to do, Leon returned to the cabin.

First, three pieces of wood were taken out, two of them were nailed together to form a longer piece of wood, and then another one was placed horizontally to make it into the shape of a cross.

Then Leon found another set of old clothes, put it on the cross, stuffed it with hay as filling, tied the cuffs and corners of the clothes with hay, and a rough scarecrow was made.

Finally, he put a baseball cap on the scarecrow's head. Lyon looked at this rough thing and felt a little worried. Although it did look like a person from a distance, Lyon was not sure about the specific effect.

But since he had already made it, he had to give it a try, so Leon put on his raincoat, took the scarecrow out, and stuck it in the middle of the open field.

Just after completing this work, the system prompt came unexpectedly.

"The first item was successfully made. The production function and recipe are being unlocked. The unlocking is successful. The production and recipe bar plug-ins are integrated into the personal panel. Please check it yourself." At the same time, Leon also found the scarecrow he had just made, and he could actually see the system's notes on it.

"A crudely made scarecrow: barely enough to keep crows from raiding your crops, but won't fool these clever creatures for long."

“Is it really that bad?”

Lyon looked at the description of the scarecrow he had made himself speechlessly, feeling that the system was looking down on his craftsmanship.

At least in Lyon's opinion, this scarecrow was much more exquisite than the ones he had seen before.

However, since he had unlocked the crafting function by making a scarecrow on a whim, Leon was very surprised, so he opened his personal panel.

Creation recipe: Scarecrow, Treasure Chest, Bonfire, Torch, Wooden Fence, Wooden Door, Wooden Path, Stone Path
There are indeed more manufacturing columns and recipes, and in addition to the scarecrow, there are also some basic recipes, including the treasure chest recipe that Leon has been thinking about.

But when he saw the campfire recipe, Leon was a little confused. If the plug-in in the crafting bar required him to manually DIY to create an item, why was this function not unlocked when he made the outdoor fire pit yesterday?
Could it be that because his earthen stove couldn't even be described as crudely made, the system didn't think he was making anything?
Thinking of this possibility, Leon's face suddenly became embarrassed.

But now that the production function has been unlocked, Leon naturally needs to give it a try.

After clicking on the crafting recipes on the panel, Leon first clicked on the treasure chest recipe. Suddenly, a system prompt popped up in front of him: "Do you want to consume 50 wood to craft a treasure chest?"

"Yes." Leon nodded, and then the number of wood in his backpack dropped sharply by fifty. At the same time, a box one meter high and fifty centimeters wide appeared in front of him.

"Treasure Chest: A place to store your items (0/36)"

Simple description, unpretentious appearance.

Then Leon placed the treasure chest on the head of his bed and placed his hand on it.

The lid of the treasure chest opened automatically, and a virtual page appeared in front of Leon. His backpack was on the left, and on the right were the empty thirty-six spaces in the box.

He tried to drag the remaining 137 pieces of wood to the first space in the box. Sure enough, the wood in his backpack was transferred to the box and occupied one of the spaces in the box.

The body of the box has not changed at all. If all the wood is taken out and placed on the ground, it can occupy an area more than ten times that of the box. However, when stored inside the box, there is no change, as if there is an independent small space inside the box.

“That’s not scientific at all.”
