A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 52: As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems

When Alex carried the bike to the door and handed it to Leon, Leon still couldn't believe that he actually got the bike from George, and for free.

This is an old-fashioned bicycle, very similar to the traditional 28-inch bicycle, but it does not have the basket and rear seat that Lyon is familiar with, and the handlebars are not straight, but the kind that curve downward like sheep horns.

This car can be considered an antique, but because it is well maintained by George, from the tires to the frame to the chain, it basically maintains its original style.

"I'm handing this antique over to you. I hope you can take good care of it." Alex looked at Leon looking at the bicycle and reminded him with some reluctance.

"I will." Leon nodded.

Alex took another look at the antique car he had seen since he was a child, finally shook his head, and returned to the villa.

After Alex left, Lyon immediately got on the bicycle. Although he hadn't ridden a bicycle for a long time, when Lyon gripped the handlebars and stepped on the pedals, the bicycle riding skills that had been engraved in his DNA allowed Lyon to quickly adapt to the bicycle. After pedaling to drive the chain and gears, he rode the bicycle steadily on the road.

"What a good thing."

Feeling the bumps on the seat from the uneven ground, Lyon found the memory of riding a bicycle with his friends on the dirt road in the countryside. Feeling the speed getting faster and faster as the chain ran fast, Lyon became energetic.

With this bicycle, the journey home that originally took Lyon more than half an hour only took less than ten minutes this time. Lyon returned to the farm. Lyon, who was not satisfied, rode the bike around the farm a few more times before he finally satisfied his cycling addiction.

After moving the bike under the eaves of the wooden house, Leon sat on the steps nearby, admiring the bike that now belonged to him, with a smile on his face.

His previous thinking was indeed a bit rigid. He always thought that the only way to solve the problem of relying on legs for travel was to ask Robin to build a stable. However, when his mind was opened, Leon found that there were too many ways to solve this problem.

Sometimes changing your way of thinking may be one of the best ways to find a shortcut.

Thinking of this, Lyon turned his attention to the crops that had already sprouted, and a new idea came to his mind.

Looking at the sky, it was still some distance before nightfall, so Leon took off his bicycle again, rode it, and headed for the southern forest area.

After leaving the farm, the road conditions were not very friendly to Lyon who was riding a bicycle, but the advantage of a bicycle was that it was light and not picky about roads. Although riding a bicycle on the small road in the southern forest was a bit bumpy, at least it was still possible to ride it, and the speed was definitely faster than walking.

He rode his bike across two wooden bridges. The road ahead was covered with dense vegetation, making it more inconvenient to ride a bike than to walk. So Lyon chose to get off the bike and walk. As for the bicycle, Lyon tentatively put it into the system's backpack.

When the bicycle really disappeared from his sight and occupied a space in the backpack, Leon could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

It really opened up my mind, and many interesting little tricks were discovered one by one.

Even if he doesn't have a farm now, as long as the system backpack is still there, he will have plenty of ways to use this function similar to a space ring to support himself.

Fortunately, Leon had always believed that the system backpack could only store specific items, such as materials or crops. Now it seems that the storage range of the system backpack is much larger than he imagined.

After confirming that the system backpack could accommodate a bicycle, Leon cast off his concerns about whether the bicycle would be lost if parked in the wild, and strode forward into the wild field covered with bushes and weeds. This area was the same area where Leon had come to search for greenery yesterday, located at the southernmost end of the southern forest. Below the cliffs at the edge of the area was an endless sea of ​​gemstones.

Of course, the purpose of this trip was not for Lyon to find the green onions that he had wiped out and he was not sure if there were any survivors, but to find the drain outlet of the sewer.

It didn't take long for Lyon to find an open space at the edge of the wilderness, where there was a man-made staircase.

Going down the stairs, you can see a pipe running through the mountain, and the outlet of the pipe is blocked by a row of welded iron railings.

Light green sewage was flowing in the pipe behind the iron railings. It had a bit of a smell, but it wasn't pungent. At least it wasn't smelling enough to make people vomit.

Having found his target, Leon observed the gap between the iron railings and shook his head with some regret, saying, "It seems I can't get through."

There are gaps in the iron fence welded on the pipe, but they are not large. You can see a small door and keyhole welded separately on the iron railing. As long as you have the corresponding key, you should be able to open this small door and enter the pipe.

However, in the game, this key needs to be obtained from the librarian by donating 60 different items to the town library.

However, when the world becomes a reality, Lyon no longer wants to follow the process honestly.

So after observing the iron fences for a while, Lyon took out a straight piece of wood from his backpack and inserted it into the gap between the two iron fences.

By applying force in one direction to bend the wood, and simply using the principle of leverage, the iron fence, which had been in disrepair and rusted due to the humid environment, only lasted for a few seconds before being bent by the wood used as a lever, creating a gap large enough for an adult to crawl through sideways.

"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

Looking at the deformed iron fence, Lyon sighed, and at the same time, he did not care too much about the fact that he had deliberately destroyed the protection of the iron railing.

This place is too remote and no one has been here for years. Even if the iron fence is damaged, it will not cause any major impact. After all, this is a sewer. Who would take the initiative to go in there?

Perhaps the two little guys who often come here to play would occasionally appear nearby, but Leon believed that Jas and Vincent would not be so brave as to go through this gap and explore the sewer.

Without these concerns, Lyon no longer hesitated and crawled into the widened gap. Although his shoes were soaked with sewage, Lyon still entered the sewer fearlessly.

When he went in, the space around him was a little dark, but with the help of the light outside the outlet, Leon was still able to see the walkways on both sides of the drain, and got rid of the embarrassing situation of continuing to explore the sewer with his feet in the sewage.

Following the walkways on both sides of the sewage drain, he walked forward for a short distance. Due to the dim environment, Lyon was not clear about the specific situation ahead, but there was a wall, so he could walk in a straight line by feeling the wall.

After walking for about two minutes, the wall suddenly stopped and the space around it suddenly became clear.

In this sewer hidden underground, there are actually fluorescent moss plants that illuminate the main space of the sewer. Although the intensity of the light is not high, it at least allows Leon to see the general situation inside the sewer.
