A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 82: The Watermelon Knife (First Order)

After his freshly washed hair was dried by the wind, Leon stood up and patted the dust off his butt. He looked around to make sure there were no outsiders around, then took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife, which he despised so much, from his backpack.

Holding the machete in Lyon's hand, he had an urge to chop the melon. He shook his head to get rid of this ridiculous idea and looked carefully at this unique galactic weapon.

The light weight and ergonomic blade, combined with the cold shining blade, make this machete look very intimidating. The special dark purple color enhances the style of the machete. If you look closely at this dark purple coating, Leon can even see the stars hidden on the blade.

Holding the machete tightly in his hand, Lyon casually chopped it twice in the air, and Lyon could hear a slight sound of breaking through the air.

Lyon took out a piece of wood and inserted it shallowly into the ground. It only needed a light push to push it forward. He used it to test the sharpness of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife to see if it was just right.

If the machete can cut through the wood without falling, it proves how sharp it is. On the contrary, if it fails to cut through the wood but instead knocks it down, then Lyon has to consider other ways to use the machete.

After everything was ready, Lyon held the blade horizontally, lunged forward with a backhand kick, and at the same time used his wrist to force the machete to cut through the middle of the wood. The resistance fed back was very weak, and when the blade cut through the wood, it actually gave Lyon a feeling of cutting tofu.

What surprised Lyon even more was that when he was using the machete to attack, he could feel that his movements had become even faster. The improvement was very obvious, as if someone was pushing him from behind. Moreover, it was not uncontrollable. Lyon had control over how to exert and retract his strength.

This seems to cater to the gain brought by the +6 speed in the watermelon knife's attributes.

The wood that had been chopped by the blade had now split into two pieces. One piece was still stuck in the ground, but it was slightly tilted, and the other piece had fallen directly to the ground. Lyon stepped forward to observe it and found that the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

When I picked up the machete and checked the blade, there was no change at all, not even a speck of sawdust on it.

"This sharpness is quite good."

Seeing this, Leon finally had some favorable impression on this not-so-impressive-looking Galaxy Watermelon Knife. After all, if a weapon is not sharp enough, then even if it looks good, it is just a work of art.

"But how do you trigger the extension?"

After testing the sharpness, Leon began to think about how to use the characteristics of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife. This kind of weapon with special abilities was the first time Leon had seen it, so he had no idea what to do.

However, when Lyon had the idea of ​​stretching, the blade of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife began to stretch. The blade grew rapidly like bamboo shoots after rain. In the blink of an eye, the blade, which was as long as an adult's forearm, extended to more than one meter in length.

The changes in the machete not only bring about changes in length, but also increase in weight and changes in properties.

"I see. Expanding and contracting according to the owner's thoughts, and then redefining the weapon's properties based on the expanded and contracted form, that's quite something."

Lyon, who noticed these changes, looked at the long blade in his hand, which could no longer be called a machete, with a somewhat excited expression, and then he defined the shape of the Galaxy Marrow Knife again.

Under Leon's conscious command, the blade of the watermelon knife began to extend again, becoming increasingly longer and heavier. The weight placed on Leon's wrist also intensified. Finally, Leon could no longer hold the handle, which could accommodate four or five hands, with one hand, and switched to two hands. However, Leon could no longer lift the entire knife. He had now transformed the watermelon knife into a length of nearly four meters, and the width of the blade had also increased. While the basic long strip remained unchanged, the Galaxy Watermelon Knife had now become a Galaxy door panel.

After checking the attributes, Leon took a deep breath. This damage value has already crushed the attributes of other Galaxy weapons, and the +200 critical strike power means that as long as a critical strike is made, the attacked person will have to bear an additional four times the original three times critical strike, which means a total of seven times the critical strike damage. The special effect is terrifying.

However, this exaggerated attribute enhancement is also accompanied by the recommended effects of weight change and attack speed, which means that it is basically impossible for Lyon to swing this door panel machete normally to attack, because the weight of this form is too outrageous and is beyond the scope of normal use by ordinary humans.

Fortunately, the size of the watermelon knife can be changed at any time according to Lyon's needs. Under Lyon's control, the door panel began to shrink and eventually scaled down to the model of a Chinese kitchen knife used in a normal kitchen.

Lyon is the favorite of the current Chinese kitchen knife style. The kitchen knives bought in Pelican Town are basically narrow-blade Western kitchen knives, and there are many types. Each type of food requires a corresponding kitchen knife, which highlights the complexity.

As someone who has gotten used to the convenience of a Chinese kitchen knife that can be used for multiple purposes, Lyon has long wanted to create a Chinese kitchen knife to use for his daily food processing. Now with this retractable and freely shapeable watermelon knife, he has saved himself a lot of trouble.

As for the question of whether using a rare weapon like the Galaxy Weapon as a kitchen knife would be a bit of a downgrade, Leon didn't care. After all, the purpose of a weapon or tool is to be used, not to be used as a decoration.

This kind of usage is very common in my hometown. For example, the keyboard can not only be used with the computer, but can even be used as a torture instrument. In addition to cleaning kitchen dirt, the steel wool can also bring people happiness, etc. These are all additional uses given to tools by humans, and the effects are excellent.

"Your new weapon seems interesting, but I hope you won't expand its use to the kitchen. After all, if you use it to fight those monsters, you don't want to taste something that doesn't belong in the food you prepared with it."

Just when Leon was thinking about taking a Chinese kitchen knife-like machete into the kitchen to cut something, a sudden suggestion almost made him chop towards the place where the sound came from.

"Master Rasmodeus? Why are you here?"

Fortunately, Leon suppressed this instinctive impulse in time, and asked after seeing the speaker's face clearly.

"I came to see you and remind you of something." Master Rasmodes was still dressed in the wizard robe and hat, but compared to the first time they met in the tower, this time Rasmodes was wearing a pair of high boots.

"What's the matter?" Leon asked doubtfully.

"I found that the sewer outlet was destroyed by human beings. Of course, I am not here to hold you accountable. I just want to confirm whether you entered it in this way." Rasmodes asked.

"It's me." Leon did not hide it. After all, even if he lied, as long as Rasmodes went to ask Krobus, he could get the answer. It would be a loss to deceive this big man for such a small matter.
