A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 36: Krypton Life? Absolutely Impossible!

After cleaning his backpack, Leon looked at the only five tools left in the bag and nodded with satisfaction.

With the biscuits Penny brought for breakfast, he now had more time to complete his plan for today, which was to go to the northern foothills from the remote forest leading to the northern exit behind the farm.

After all, they have been to Pelican Town and the beach in the east, and the forest in the south. The mountains in the west are not suitable for exploration, so the remaining northern mountains are the areas that Lyon has not visited yet.

Because the farm had been cleared long ago, Lyon arrived at the exit of the northern farm without any obstruction. The road still had the mountain steps that had been laid there. Although they were a bit old, they did not affect walking.

Moreover, Lyon discovered a man-made cave on the mountain near the northern exit. Because there was no lighting facilities, Lyon had no intention of going into it.

Following the northern exit, Lyon clearly felt the slope of the road, which made it a bit difficult to walk. Fortunately, there were steps to provide assistance, so the journey was not too bumpy. After walking for about ten minutes, Lyon noticed a large area of ​​trees growing on a hillside in front of him.

Unlike the game where there are only a few trees and a path connecting the northern foothills, the remote forest in reality is a real forest.

Because it is a hillside, the trees here grow in a staggered manner. A small path is located between the hillside and the forest. Naturally grown shrubs are interspersed on both sides of the road. When you look up, you can't see the sky, and all you can see are dense treetops.

The absolutely pristine jungle is much more wild than the southern forest, but it is not without its advantages. At least in this area, Lyon's wildlife radar tells him that under these tall tree trunks, there are many gifts from nature hidden.

Seeing this, Lyon naturally would not let go of these treasures buried in the ground. The next second after he took out the hoe, he dug towards the bright spot closest to him.

The journey of digging while walking is the most wonderful. As wild wasabi and leek dandelions fell into the backpack, Lyon regretted why he had not embarked on the exploration journey of the marginal forest earlier.

"Long periods of wild gathering have given you new insights into how to collect wild plants, and your wild gathering level has risen by one level.

After a long period of wild picking, you have mastered new skills, and the crafting bar has unlocked two recipes: spring seeds and work snacks.

You have been blessed by nature, and when you cut down trees, they may drop tree seeds."

When Lyon dug up the eighth dandelion during this trip, the long-lost system prompt sound appeared in Lyon's ears. Then Lyon realized that his wild collection level had actually increased.

Name: Leon (Leon)

Wild harvesting: 1 (bonus on tree species dropped during felling)

Mining: 0
Combat: 0
Fishing: 0
特殊能力：森林魔法·粗糙的青葱处理技术背包物品：斧头·镐子·洒水壶·镰刀·锄头·韭葱*7·野山葵*14·蒲公英*8（8/12可升级）
Recipe: Scarecrow, Treasure Chest, Bonfire, Torch, Wooden Fence, Wooden Door, Wooden Path, Stone Path, Spring Seeds, Work Snack
Seeing that the five abilities on the panel had finally achieved a breakthrough from level 0, and one skill had been upgraded to level 1, Lyon was filled with joy, especially the special bonus after the level upgrade of Wild Gathering, which meant that he didn't need to worry about cutting too much wood and affecting the environment.

In addition to natural growth, you can also rely on the tree species that fall from logging to replant trees, giving back to nature while also ensuring your own wood supply.

And the two newly unlocked recipes are also very useful.

Spring Seeds (Seeds): Contains various wild spring seeds (10 spring seeds per batch). Requires 1 days to grow. Ingredients: 1 Wild Horseradish, 1 Daffodil, 1 Leek, Dandelion.

Work snacks (food): When you are hungry, have a quick snack to restore your physical strength. Ingredients: Acorn*1, Maple Seed*1, Pine Cone*1
Spring seeds only require four wild plants that are special spring products as raw materials, and you can get ten seeds that can grow into them. Each seed can grow one of these four spring wild plants at random, which is equivalent to investing four wild plants. After twenty-one days, you can get ten random wild plants. The 2.5-fold return rate only requires time cost and watering to stably obtain these spring specialties that need to be found in the wild.

Of course, for Lyon, who has a wild collection radar, these spring seeds may be a bit useless, because he can fully explore the wild on a large scale in 21 days to find wild plants that can be grown from these seeds in several times the amount.

But Lyon does not intend to give up planting spring seeds, because when these seeds mature and are harvested, he can obtain two types of experience: farming and wild picking. This is also the special feature of spring seeds. You must know that ordinary crops only provide farming experience.

Although it is not difficult to increase the experience gained from wild collection, it can be increased by cutting trees, cutting grass to collect fibers, and finding unique collectibles in each season, but Lyon will not despise the extra experience provided by spring seeds.

After all, skill improvement brings not only the unlocking of crafting recipes, but also some special abilities and benefits.

In the game, the higher the skill level of farming and gathering, the level bonus of the plants planted and gathered can get, which greatly increases the player's chance of obtaining high-quality crops, making it a human fertilizer.

Moreover, there are ten levels of skills in total. When the skills are upgraded to level five and level ten, special talents can be unlocked. These talents are closely related to the skills. Each talent can bring huge improvements to the players and even affect the players' future plans for making money.

Although Leon is now in the real Stardew Valley, based on his understanding of the game and referring to the current functions of the system, he does not think that the system created this personal panel that clearly indicates the skill level just for data analysis.

The special effects and formulas unlocked by the increase in the level of wild collection just verified Leon's speculation, so he was very sure that he only needed to slowly improve his skill level, and then the special talents unique to each skill would be waiting for his selection at level five and level ten.

"Suddenly, I feel like my life is becoming more and more hopeful and exciting. Is it time for me to start living a 627 (PS: 627 means getting up at a.m., going to bed at a.m., working seven days a week) life in reality?"

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but recall the days when he first came into contact with the game Stardew Valley. At that time, he really used time compression to the extreme and passively became a krypton-dominated player with his whole body filled with liver.

Now that he had come to the real Stardew Valley, he had to repeat the same experience. Lyon felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it, and finally dispelled this terrible thought from his mind.
