A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 264 The century-old question—what to eat for lunch?
"Thank you."

What else could Leon say? "Fuck?" That would make him seem uneducated.

Maru's water pump really amazed him. It looks ordinary on the outside, but who would have thought that it is full of black technology inside. It can pump water and air in one, is amphibious, and has additional functions such as remote control and solar charging.

Could he really make this thing with just a few materials? Leon felt a little unworthy of it.

Moreover, Maru's designs are all tailored to Leon's needs, even those that have not been put forward. Leon was so moved that he couldn't help but want to taste the chocolate.

After all, apart from his good looks and healthy body, he really has nothing else to offer in return for Maru's conditions.

The technological level of human beings is enough to explain many problems, and there should be no shortage of money.

In terms of knowledge, Leon should be crushed by Maru, so this path is not feasible.

Come to think of it, it seems that the only way to repay the other person is to give him a child.

But unfortunately, Maru didn't have this idea. After installing the hose and high-pressure sprinkler, he suggested to Leon, "Want to give it a try? I see that you seem to have left some crops unwatered."

"Well, okay." Leon came back to his senses, walked forward to pick up the water pump, turned on the power switch, and gently placed it in the small pond at the edge of the field.

Then he straightened the hose, took the button that Marudi passed to him, held the nozzle tightly, and pressed the button.

The moment the command was received, the water pump in the water started working. The originally shriveled hose instantly expanded under the filling of water flow, and then the clean water brought by the pump pressure gushed out from the high-pressure nozzle, turning into a large, delicate and silky water curtain.

Water droplets like drizzle fell evenly on the slightly dry land, quickly soaking the surface of the land and making the soil sticky. The excess water droplets were also absorbed by the loose soil, and the reserved water nourished the roots of the crops.

"Technology really changes our lives." Seeing that this small area of ​​about twenty crops was watered in just over ten seconds, Lyon couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time pressed the button to stop pumping water. After all, too much water would easily drown the crops.

If this was replaced with a watering can, it would take at least three minutes to water such an area, making Leon regret having watered most of the land so diligently in the morning.

"It looks like it's working pretty well." Maru said as he watched Leon using it.

"You really have good skills." Leon praised Maru, "With this water pump, future work will be much easier."

"I'm glad it helps you." Maru replied with a smile.

"My work is done. Do you have anything to do over there? If not, you can stay and have lunch together at noon." After picking up the water pump from the pond and putting it aside, Leon asked Maru.

"It should be fine, but there's no need to have lunch. I didn't tell my family that I would be staying out for too long. If I don't go back at noon, they might worry." Malu explained.

"It's okay. I have a phone here. You can just call Robin to let him know. By the way, I want to ask you some questions." Leon suggested.

"Yeah, that's fine." Hearing that Lyon had a phone call so that she could inform her family that she would not be going back for lunch, Maru agreed to Lyon's lunch invitation.

Under Leon's guidance, Maru entered Leon's cabin, called Robin, told him that he was having lunch in Leon, and the moment he hung up the phone, he quickly slipped out of the cabin.

"What's wrong?" Leon, who followed out, looked at Maru in confusion and asked. He didn't understand why Maru ran away from the house after making the call. Although his house was a little small, there was no unbearable strange smell.

"Nothing, I'm just a little shy because it's my first time in a boy's room." Maru explained with her head down. But there was one thing she didn't dare to say. That was because Maru saw Leon's men's underwear on the bed in the room. That was why she didn't dare to stay.

Don't think that only men have strange thoughts about women's underwear, women do too.

"Oh, I see." Lyon suddenly understood. Although many people had entered his house, it seemed that only Maru could feel the difference between men and women.

Not to mention Robin Lewis, Abigail, a girl of the same age, had no such concerns at all. She could even sleep peacefully in her own bed. It was obvious that she didn't regard Leon as a man, so Leon regarded her as a brother for this reason.

"Didn't you say you had some questions for me?" Maru obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic. Because of her skin color, her blushing was not so easy to notice, but only Maru herself knew that at this moment her face was so hot that she could fry an egg in it.

"Well, it's about the cave renovation. There's no problem with the mushroom culture tanks in the cave, but there's been no movement from the fruit bats. Even though they've moved in, they haven't brought me any fruit so far."

Upon hearing this, Leon immediately explained his problem.

"Let me go with you and take a look." Maru stood up and said to Leon.

Leon didn't waste any time and took Maru to the cave.

After entering the cave, Maru first observed the mushroom culture tank to make sure there was no problem. Then he looked up at the fruit bats hanging on the railing of the rock layer above his head, as well as some devices on the surrounding rock walls.

"There's no problem with the device, and the fruit bats are healthy too. They might be a little uncomfortable adjusting to the new environment, but it will be fine after a while."

After observing around and finding no problems, Maru gave his own answer.

"Is that so? I understand." With Maru's analysis, Leon was no longer so anxious to see the fruit bat's gift. After all, the answer given by professionals was worthy of respect.

It seems that it still needs time to settle.

"By the way, haven't you dealt with the meteorite yet?" After leaving the cave, Maru couldn't find any reliable topic for a while. The only thing that could come to his mind was the meteorite that fell on Lyon's farm, so he simply started chatting with Lyon about it.

"No, it's too hard and I can't break it." Leon explained.

"Indeed, that meteorite contains a high amount of iridium and its material is also very special. Normal tools cannot have a significant effect on it. If it weren't so big, perhaps I could help you break it open in some other way." Maru thought for a moment and said.

"It doesn't matter. I can smash it sooner or later anyway. There's no rush." ​​Leon waved his hands and didn't care about the meteorite. After all, this thing was placed on the farm and it couldn't run away. When he upgraded his pickaxe in the future, would he still be afraid that he couldn't smash the meteorite?
Compared to the meteorite, Leon wanted to ask Maru more about what she wanted to eat for lunch. Based on Maru's request, he would decide whether to cook for himself or go directly to Guts's place for dinner.

After all, this water pump has helped him a lot, and Leon has to thank Maru very much. As for giving the child as a gift, it was just a joke and a fantasy.

In serious practice, Leon was worried that a daughter-obsessed person would give up the promising land research and turn to chemical research, and then find a way to take her away for himself.

　There was beef in the cafeteria at noon. I thought the boss had made a fortune and was rewarding his employees. But it turned out that the meal was added because a partner came to visit the company. It was crap.

　　This means I have to work overtime again tonight, numb.
