A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 366 Eastern Mine
The next morning, Lyon got up quickly and started washing up.

What follows is a series of activities including watering the plants, feeding the chickens and visiting the caves.

After finishing his daily work on the farm, Leon finally had time to prepare breakfast for himself.

While the noodles in the pot were still cooking, Leon opened the kitchen and checked his mailbox. He hadn't checked his mailbox for a few days, and he should have accumulated some money from the recent shipments.

After Leon opened the mailbox, he noticed that there were several letters inside.

Two were from the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce regarding payment for goods, one was from the Stardew Valley Forum, and the last one was unsigned.

First, he opened the letter from the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce and took out the money inside. Lyon then opened the letter from the Stardew Valley Forum, which also contained money, 500G, and a letter.

After a quick glance, Leon roughly understood why the Stardew Valley Forum sent him money. It was the interview fee for a previous interview.

When Lyon opened the last unsigned letter, he was really surprised.

Lyon:
Although we haven't had the chance to meet, I really appreciate your activeness, so I've prepared some special gifts for you, buried in various corners of Stardew Valley. As for how to find these gifts, you have to find them yourself.

As for the lottery ticket Lewis gave you, you can use it at will. Don't worry that I will blame you for it. I hope you can be lucky enough to get some special items I prepared for you in the lottery machine.

Another point is that you must use your intelligence and wisdom to complete the test I give you. I know you have many things to ask me, and I also have many commissions to give you, but this is the rule. If you want to come to my club, you must demonstrate your ability and wisdom.

Looking forward to meeting you.

--together"

"So that's how it is. The person who provided the lottery tickets and prizes is Mr. Qi. No wonder there are so many strange things. But what the hell is this special gift?"

After carefully reading the letter twice, Lyon still had no idea about this special gift.

But since Mr. Qi said so, Leon would not think it was a prank. The gift was in Stardew Valley anyway, and it seemed that there was more than one. He could look for it in his spare time, which could be regarded as adding some extra activities to his daily life.

After checking all the letters, Leon returned to the kitchen, finished his noodles, washed the dishes, returned to the cabin, and turned on the TV.

Velvik's divination channel is still open, and Lyon's arrival also allowed Velvik to give the answer to Lyon's fortune today in the first time.

Lyon is stable and his destiny is in his own hands.

With his luck that was neither good nor bad, Leon gave up the idea of ​​using the lottery ticket, but this did not mean that he had nothing to worry about now. After all, Mr. Qi's letter said that he had hidden some gifts in Stardew Valley.

So Leon embarked on a journey to find the gift, but because there were no reference objects or clues, Leon was more like wandering around Stardew Valley.

Apart from Pelican Town, the areas around Stardew Valley are the Coal Forest, Secret Forest, Edge Forest, northern foothills, the beach and the eastern mining area. Except for the eastern mining area, Lyon has basically been to other places.

So Lyon’s main goal today is to visit the eastern mining area.

After passing through Pelican Town and heading east, Leon discovered a path leading east from Pelican Town on the road in front of the library. This path wasn't in the game. He hadn't set foot there before, mainly because he hadn't noticed it. In the game, this area was a dead end blocked by fences, and his habitual thinking hadn't allowed him to explore.

But today, because he went to look for the eastern mine, Leon noticed this path.

So Lyon continued along this road, passed through a small forest, and found that the road ahead was suddenly open.

What comes into view is a wide dirt road. The exposed soil on the road proves that people often walk here. On both sides of the road are green grass and randomly grown trees. What attracts Lyon the most is the signpost erected on the side of the road.

← Pelican Town
→Seagull Bridge
There are only two signs on the signpost, corresponding to the eastern and western areas of the road.

"Seagull Bridge? I've never seen that name before."

Seeing the instructions on the sign, Lyon became interested and continued walking east along the dirt road. On the way, he passed a large open space surrounded by a fence, but the fence was too high.

Moreover, the entrance was blocked by two large wooden barrels, so Lyon did not go in to explore, because the open space he saw was basically overgrown with weeds, and it was obviously some kind of abandoned land.

After passing this open space, at the end of the road, the path turned from east to north. Continuing forward and crossing another bush, Lyon saw the so-called Seagull Bridge.

It was a wide stone bridge with thick piers inserted into the wide water surface under the bridge. The Seagull Bridge was about 30 meters long. At the end of the bridge, you could see a blocked gate.

After crossing the Seagull Bridge, Lyon saw the scene behind the big iron gate. It was a gathering place with various wooden single-family houses. Although he could not see deeper, the billowing black smoke from the coal indicated the production activities going on inside, which should be related to smelting and forging.

There is a sign hanging on the big iron gate.

"The mining area is dangerous and non-mining personnel are prohibited from entering."

"Is this the Eastern Mine? No wonder I keep seeing those miners appearing in Pelican Town. It turns out their sheds are here." When Leon saw the sign, he knew he had found the location of the Eastern Mine.

It’s a pity that this place has been blocked and I’m afraid I can’t get in. Even if I can get in, I can’t do anything because the pickaxe is still with Clint for upgrading.

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" Noticing Leon standing outside the big iron gate, a burly security guard with an iron rod on his waist walked out of the security room next to the iron gate and asked Leon through the big iron gate.

"It's okay, I just came by to take a look." Leon explained, shaking his head.

"Then you'd better stay away from this area, because this is private territory. If you want to do something unnecessary, I may expel you." The security guard's face tightened when he heard this, and his hand was placed on the iron rod at his waist.

"Don't be so sensitive. I'm really just here for a stroll. I recently moved to Pelican Town and haven't been here before, so I just took a walk." Lyon said helplessly when he saw this.

"It has nothing to do with me. Please leave here, sir." The security guard still had a stern face and looked unmoved, forcing Leon to leave.

Those who know may think that this is a mining area, while those who don’t may think it is a prison. After all, looking through the big iron gate, the buildings and scenes inside, as well as the oppressive force of the security guards, are really similar in style to the prisons Lyon had visited before.
