A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 25 Getting rich

Watching the girl's departing back, Leon had no intention of chasing her to keep her. Only after Abigail left did Leon retract his smile and, as planned, went to the reservoir to wash the dirt off his hands.

Then Leon left the farm directly and headed towards the southern forest.

Because it rained yesterday, Lyon didn't have a good time exploring the vast southern forest. For everyone who first enters Stardew Valley, during the period after planting the first batch of seeds, foraging in the wild, that is, wild picking, is the best way to accumulate the first sum of money.

At the bottom of the southern forest, near the sewer drain, lies the most beautiful gift of spring: green onions.

As for the way the old people of Stardew Valley made their fortune - fishing, it is not something Lyon wants to touch for the time being. After all, Lyon is very self-aware of his fishing skills. Instead of wasting time starting from scratch, he is more eager to rely on wild fishing to accumulate his first income.

If you want to go fishing, you have to find Willy when you are free that day to join a group. That way, with an old fisherman by your side, you don't have to fall into the embarrassing situation of squatting by the water with a fishing rod in your hand and staring blankly.

Once again stepping into the southern forest, the atmosphere was different from the last rainy day. The forest was much more lively at this time. The singing of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind made the forest seem to come alive.

However, perhaps because it is close to Pelican Town, the tree density here is not high. The area close to the Mage Tower is still relatively primitive, but near Marnie's Ranch, the tree density seems sparse.

After looking at the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks in Mani's ranch from afar, Leon lost interest. These were not things he could consider for the time being. After all, the price of building a chicken coop and a barn was too high. It would be better to wait until he had money before discussing with Mani how to raise livestock.

Wandering in the southern forest, Lyon had an indescribable sense of comfort and ease. It felt like returning to a warm house in the cold wind. Lyon knew that this was the effect of forest magic.

The collectible radar, which was also derived from forest magic, began to work when Lyon entered the southern forest. With just a few dozen steps, Lyon could find wild wasabi and dandelions in the soil.

Looking at his backpack, Leon found that he seemed to have collected the four iconic collectible items of spring: daffodils, dandelions, leeks and wild wasabi.

This made Leon unconsciously think of other uses besides sales, that is, the gift from Stardew Valley requested by the Junimos in the old community center.

In the game, this is part of the plot. You offer your farm and some Stardew Valley specialty plants, minerals, fishery resources and other things closely related to the player as gifts to the Junimos living in the old community center. You can receive gifts from the Junimos after completing a request.

And after completing all the sacrifices in an entire category, the Junimos will also help you repair an area of ​​the old community center, and help you repair some abandoned facilities closely related to the player's life and farm work when night falls.

For example, they repaired the vault in the old community center, which was used for offices and storage of Pelican Town's finances, and processed the corresponding sacrificial gifts. In addition, the Junimos also repaired the long-distance bus in Pelican Town that was crashed by an unscrupulous drunkard, allowing Stardew Valley to restart the route to the Calico Desert.

Of course, if you become a JojaMart Premium Member and turn the old community center into a JojaMart, the store's manager, Morris, will help you repair the bus for a fee. However, Leon doesn't plan to do this. While JojaMart's routes can be repaired with money, Leon doesn't have the money. Furthermore, Junimo's involvement in the mystical realm is nothing compared to a national supermarket chain.
"Now that I have awakened the forest magic, should I go to the community center and make a sacrifice?" Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but ponder.

However, considering that it would take at least two hours to go back and forth, which would be too time-consuming, Lyon gave up the idea of ​​going to the old community center and continued his exploration of the southern forest.

Although it is called a forest, half of the southern forest is occupied by rivers and ponds. Of course, this is also the reason why the trees and vegetation here grow vigorously. The abundant water resources allow these plants to replenish water. The snakes, insects, rats and ants living in the forest also provide rich food for the fish in the river. It can be regarded as a complete ecological chain.

As the southern forest close to Pelican Town, there are actually many traces of artificial carvings. For example, there are two pieces of land separated by a river. There is a wooden bridge built by the people of Pelican Town as a shortcut to cross the river. It is convenient for tourists who come here to travel and get close to nature, and it is also convenient for Leon, a wild collector.

After crossing two wooden bridges in succession, Leon found a very open area. To the east were mountains, to the west was a rushing river, and under the cliff to the south was the azure sapphire sea. This area was already the very edge of Stardew Valley.

"There are mountains and water, facing the sea, this is a Feng Shui treasure land." Leon said while admiring the surrounding scenery: "There must be treasures here."

Of course, no one responded to Leon's words, and he was just entertaining himself, but what he said was not wrong, because he remembered that there was an inaccessible room nearby, hidden in this area.

So while searching for green onions, Leon did not forget to look for the room hidden in the mountain.

"Ok!"

Not long after Lyon left, his wild hunting radar started to go crazy. In front of Lyon's eyes, on a relatively flat piece of land not far away, there was a whole area of ​​light golden halo flashing.

When Lyon approached this area, he no longer needed to rely on radar. Looking at the emerald green leaves of the plants emerging from the soil, Lyon realized that the main target of his trip had appeared.

What he didn't expect was that there would be so many green onions here. In the game, you would be lucky to find a dozen green onions in this area, but what appeared in front of Lyon at this moment was an entire endless field of green onions.

Looking at the green fields, Leon's eyes widened.

If there were no signs of artificial farming around and no footprints or other signs of human involvement on the soil, Lyon would not be sure whether he had walked into a field of green onions planted on a large scale by others.

"I've made a fortune."
