A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 846 Mr. Qi’s Challenge
"You should be careful about this matter. What you did in the Starfall Land wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. They're not very impressed with you right now. You should be more careful in the future. If you leave Stardew Valley, they might find a way to make you pay the price."

Speaking of this matter, Mr. Qi couldn't help but remind Leon.

"I don't usually go out, so it should be fine. Besides, I can feel the presence of the Lost Mind," Lyon added.

"I know that forest magic instinctively repels you, but the Madmen will not take the initiative to appear in front of you. They retain human wisdom and will naturally find ways to circumvent this risk." Mr. Qi warned.

"Well, I will pay attention to it. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qi." Leon accepted the favor. After all, what Mr. Qi said was right. This reminder was also a kind of concern.

"This world is like an unfinished dish. You and I are the seasonings that add flavor to this dish. Compared to others, the flavor you can provide is more special and rich. I just don't want to see you used up so soon." Mr. Qi said to Leon using a metaphor.

"Keep going, kid. I was just an ordinary boy when I was born, but I made up my mind to become more outstanding since I was a child. Now I have done it, and I hope you can do it too."

"Will I also become blue-skinned in the future?"

Seeing Mr. Qi's appreciation for him, Leon couldn't help but tease a little.

"Hahaha, who knows?"

Mr. Qi laughed happily, and was obviously very interested in Leon's witticisms. Instead of feeling offended, he admired Leon even more.

"Everyone's path is different. You don't have to follow in my footsteps. I hope you can forge your own path."

"What is Mr. Qi's path?" Lyon asked subconsciously.

"I forgot, hahaha." Mr. Qi answered very straightforwardly. Although his expression could not be seen, it could be heard from his tone that he was telling the truth.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you. I think you should have got the key to the 120th floor of the mine, right?"

As if he didn't want to talk more about this topic, Mr. Qi turned to ask Leon.

"Yeah." Leon nodded.

"Then do you know the door that this key can open?" Mr. Qi asked.

"Found it." Leon admitted.

"That's good. I have a challenge for you. Do you want to try it?" Mr. Qi suggested to Leon with a smile.

"Please tell me. If it's too difficult, I might refuse." Lyon was delighted because the 1WG mission had arrived.

"I hope you can reach the 25th floor of the Skull Mine. No matter what means you use, as long as you can reach it and return safely, I will give you a large sum of money. If you can reach the th floor, in addition to money and a special gift, I will also provide you with some help."

Sure enough, the conditions were the same as the game missions, except that the two challenges were merged together, with some additional benefits.

"Can you tell me what this help is?" "What do you think of the mine elevator in Stardew Valley?"

“Very convenient.”

"It's a shame the Skull Mine doesn't have one, but it can be installed. After all, that mine has some peculiar rules. Every time you enter, your floor is reset. Having an elevator will prevent you from wasting time on the shallower levels. The deeper you go, the more goodies there are in the mine, but of course, it also becomes more dangerous. Are you willing to accept this challenge?"

When Mr. Qi said this, his expression became much more serious.

"Reach the 100th floor in one day?" Leon confirmed.

"Well, it's a very difficult but not impossible challenge. Do you want to give it a try?" Mr. Qi confirmed.

"What if the math can't be done in one day?" Lyon asked back.

"Have you forgotten what I said? You'll have to start over from the first floor every time you enter?" Mr. Qi said helplessly. Then he thought, "Oh, no, so you plan to stay in the mine without sleeping, keep exploring, and persevere until you reach the 100th floor?"

"I have this idea." Lyon did not hide it. After all, although this method is a bit stupid, it is very useful.

"The Skeleton Mine and the mines in Stardew Valley are not on the same level of dangerous areas. Clearing all the dangers in a mine on one level does not mean it is safe. It only takes a few hours for the killed monsters to resurrect. This is an unavoidable rule. If you stay on the same level, you may not have a chance to rest." Mr. Qi reminded.

"Then I won't rest." Lyon smiled and replied to Mr. Qi.

"Hahaha, interesting! I can give you this opportunity, but you only have one chance. If you leave the mine in any way before reaching the 100th floor, the challenge will be considered a failure. Even if you reach the 100th floor on your second try, I won't install an elevator for you. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Although Mr. Qi's eyes couldn't be seen because he was wearing sunglasses, Leon knew that he was looking at and observing him.

But Leon didn't show any hesitation and answered confidently: "Okay, once is enough, otherwise how can it be considered a challenge?"

"Then I wish you good luck. You can start at any time. I will pay attention to your situation. If you can really complete these two challenges at once, I personally promise to double the amount of the reward and give you an additional chip of the same value as the bonus." Seeing that Leon agreed to this limited challenge so decisively, Mr. Qi did not hesitate.

"Thank you Mr. Qi for your generosity, but before that, I need to make some preparations, so I would like to ask, are there any other restrictions on me? For example, I must enter the Skeleton Mine within the specified time to start the challenge?" Leon was overjoyed, but he still did not forget to ask if there were any other requirements.

"No, even if you wait until this time next year to challenge me, I will still approve." After Mr. Qi denied it, he teased Leon, "But I don't think you will be willing to wait too long."

"Indeed." Lyon did not deny the answer.

After all, the iridium ingots and ore smelted from iridium ore are essential resources in themselves. Lyon naturally doesn't want to delay getting them as soon as possible.

The probability and quantity of iridium ore appearing are also related to the depth of the Skeleton Mine. Therefore, an elevator that can record the exploration depth before leaving the mine is a shortcut for Leon that can save a lot of time and directly reach the area where iridium ore appears densely. Lyon does not want to miss this convenient auxiliary method.

"Very good. I look forward to your performance. So, before you prepare to enter the Skull Mine, would you like to experience the various programs at the club? Chips can not only be exchanged for an equivalent amount of money, but you can also buy some rare goodies in the casino store."
