A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 473 The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility
After turning off the TV, Leon waited for his hair to dry naturally and then lay down on the bed to rest.

There was no conversation that night. When the sunlight of the next day shone into the bed on time, Leon opened his eyes and noticed that there was something not too heavy pressing on him.

"Da Huang, why aren't you sleeping in your doghouse?"

Without even looking, Leon knew it was Da Huang who sneaked in in the middle of the night.

But when he looked at Dahuang, he was stunned, because this guy was covered with a thin layer of ice and turned into an ice sculpture.

What confused Lyon was that although it was such a big piece of ice, he didn't feel cold at all. When he touched it, there was no biting coldness. If he had to say the temperature of the ice was, it was about the same as a stone picked up from the roadside.

"What's going on with this guy?"

After shaking the ice, the frozen rhubarb showed no reaction, which made Lyon a little anxious. He immediately stood up, put rhubarb into the system backpack, and ran towards the northern foothills.

"You came to see me so early? Something happened?"

Seeing Leon's anxious expression, Linus, who was doing morning exercises, hurriedly asked.

"Look, old man."

Leon immediately took out the frozen rhubarb from his backpack and showed it to Linus, because Leon didn't know how to describe this matter.

“You’ve started to transform so early.

Linus was quite surprised to see the frozen rhubarb.

But he did not forget to comfort Leon: "This is a good thing. The little guy didn't encounter any accidents. He just accumulated enough magic power and is undergoing a transformation during the growth period."

Finally, Linus added, "Such a short time shouldn't be enough for it to accumulate enough magic power. Have you experienced any major events with it recently?"

"No, just eating and drinking normally, and taking him out for a walk. If there's anything special, it's probably what happened last night."

Leon didn't hide anything from Linus. He told Linus that he took Dawang and Haley to hunt for treasure in the tidal pool yesterday, and finally got the Star and Moon rings at night. This was also the only time in his memory that Dawang had encountered a supernatural event.

"Oh, then I understand. The power of Moonlight Starlight is not small. This little fellow is quite lucky to have encountered such a grand scene."

Linus understood immediately after hearing this: "That's a good thing. Perhaps when this little guy wakes up again, he will be an adult. It would be a good choice for him to follow you."

"Is Dahuang the son of the wilderness?" Leon asked curiously after hearing Linus' words.

"It wasn't before, but it is now." Linus nodded.

"Its parents are children of the wilderness, but children of the wilderness are not born that way. They are lucky creatures chosen and favored by nature.

It used to be smarter and more special than other beasts, but the probability of it becoming a child of the wilderness was not too high. However, now it can be confirmed that this little guy has accepted the blessing of nature and officially joined the ranks of the children of the wilderness.

After all, the sun and the moon are the most symbolic beings in nature. Accepting the moonlight and starlight, it was natural for it to take this step smoothly. "What changes will Da Huang undergo after becoming a child of nature?" Leon asked.

"It will become even wilder and more powerful. It won't be easy for you to keep it by your side, but it should have a good relationship with you. It will probably choose to settle in Stardew Valley, but it won't be by your side all the time."

"Why?" Leon asked. After all, he was used to having Da Huang around.

Linus explained, "The Children of the Wild are divided into two factions: the Balancers and the Guardians. The Children of the Wild from the Balancers are mostly non-combat animals. They are intelligent and perceptive, responsible for coordinating the natural energy of their area. While they lack combat power, they can stabilize the natural order of an area. For example, the Rat in the Hat is a Child of the Wild from the Balancers.

The Guardians, on the other hand, are another type of beast born for battle. These children of the wilderness are generally very powerful, chosen by nature to protect the natural realm and serve as the first line of defense against the encroachment of death. For example, the bear in the Secret Forest is a representative of the Guardians, guarding the southern region of Stardew Valley from monsters flying over from the desert, preventing the evil tainted with the breath of death from contaminating Stardew Valley's nature.

"Is there no possibility of change?" Lyon asked.

"This is their duty. Don't feel strange about it. After all, nature has not given them wisdom and abilities for no reason," Linus added, shaking his head.

“Behind every gift, there is a responsibility waiting.”

"What about us, the holders of forest magic? What are our responsibilities?" Leon asked. After all, the Sons of the Wilderness have their own responsibilities. So what kind of mission do the Sons of Nature, who are close to the Sons of the Wilderness and are considered to be on the same path, shoulder?

"Aren't you doing it now?" Linus replied with a smile.

"Farming?" Leon immediately understood what Linus meant.

"Of course, this is also an important task in maintaining the balance of nature, and even strengthening its vitality. The Children of the Wilderness and the Children of Nature each have their own responsibilities. This is the responsibility of us, the holders of forest magic. After all, in addition to maintenance and stability, making nature more prosperous is also extremely important."

Linus's expression was filled with nostalgia. "You know, the holders of forest magic founded the Druid sect before this. In Druid legends, isn't their fame centered around planting?"

"What about you?" Leon asked Linus after hearing this: "I haven't seen you farming either, old man."

"Of course I don't farm. I don't have a farm." Linus spread his hands.

"But besides farming, I naturally have other ways to give back to nature."

"Got it, you plant trees!"

Thinking of Linus's instructions last time and the oak tree planting entrusted to him, Lyon reacted immediately.

"Smart, but it's a pity that you are a child of nature. Nature and arcane are not very compatible. Otherwise, with your wisdom, you can become an excellent magician." Linus smiled and joked to Leon.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too," Leon sighed.

"Although I don't quite understand why you described it that way, I feel like it makes sense. But don't tell that to the bear, or it will really beat you up."

Linus was no longer surprised by Leon's unheard-of yet philosophical remarks. However, as Leon's elder, he still had to remind Leon of some details to prevent him from accidentally offending people or animals.
