A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 852 Preparation
Stardew Valley is very large. In addition to Pelican Town, there is actually a large area.

Although the minecart's route was built in an uninhabited area of ​​Stardew Valley and the distance was very long, with the minecart's speed comparable to that of a high-speed rail, it didn't take much time to reach the blacksmith shop in Pelican Town.

Lyon estimated it to be around 40-50 seconds, but didn't count the exact time.

The unscientific part is that even after passing through the jungle and the work area outside Clint's blacksmith shop is visible to the naked eye, the speed of the mine cart still shows no signs of slowing down.

Just as it was about to reach the end of the track and hit the iron fence of the blacksmith shop's outdoor work area, it came to an abrupt stop.

Leon in the mine cart was not affected by inertia, and there was not even any shaking.

After climbing down from the mine cart and landing smoothly, Leon took a special look at the wheels of the mine cart. They were intact. He reached out and touched them. There was no heat at all. It was impossible to tell that they had just been running at high speed for nearly a minute.

But Leon was not surprised at all. He no longer paid attention to the mine cart and, based on the principle that he was already here, he pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The crisp sound of hammering echoed in the blacksmith shop. Clint raised the hammer high and hit the hoe on the iron felt. If Leon was not mistaken, this hoe was the one he gave to Clint.

At this moment, most areas of the hoe have been dyed brass-colored, and the handle at the bottom is a different silver-iron color, which should be in the process of transitioning from copper tools to steel tools.

But apart from the hoe, no other material could be seen on the iron felt. However, as Clint's hammer fell, the not-so-conspicuous silver-iron color gradually began to erode the brass color on the hoe.

"Sorry, your hoe will need a few more days. You're early."

Noticing Leon's appearance, Clint put down the hammer and wiped the sweat from his face with his dirty apron, not caring about the coal dust that smeared his face.

"I just stopped by to take a look. I hope I didn't disturb you from upgrading your tools." Leon explained.

"No, the preparations have been completed long ago. What's left is just hard work. It doesn't matter whether we stop or not." Clint shook his head and walked to the refrigerator beside him. He took out two bottles of Joja Coke and threw one of them to Leon.

Leon took it but didn't open it, while Clint had already pulled the ring and gulped down the whole bottle.

"I guess you passed by me because you experienced that transport mine cart."

After drinking the ice cola, Clint felt much better. He sat down on the stool next to the counter and started chatting with Leon.

"Well, you noticed it too?" Leon nodded.

"It's so obvious. The track on my side was broken into several sections before, but then it suddenly looked like it was newly laid. How could I not notice it?"

Clint quipped, "But I didn't expect you to be willing to fix this thing. Ever since the mines in the northern foothills were abandoned, this transportation route has long lost its value."

"Actually, there is still output in the mine." Leon did not explain much, but learned a lot of information about the mine cart from Clint's words.

"Indeed, although the mine was abandoned due to monsters, you were able to deal with those terrifying creatures. Now that this transportation route has been repaired, it will be more convenient for you to transport the ore."

Clint glanced at Leon, somewhat envious of his fighting prowess. "I might need this mine cart in the future. Can I rent it?"

"Use it as you please. Forget about renting it." Leon waved his hand. The mine cart's hauling capacity was insignificant to him. At most, it saved him time going to the mine and the blacksmith shop. He wouldn't use it very often; it was just sitting there doing nothing. "Thank you," Clint said, scratching his head sheepishly. "With this mine cart, I can save myself a lot of trouble. Next time, I won't need to borrow Lewis's car to bring the ore and forging materials I need from the station."

"The supplier doesn't deliver the goods to our door?" Lyon complained.

"Yes, but you need to pay an extra fee. It's not much, but it's best to save some. After all, the blacksmith shop's business is getting worse and worse. You know, the eastern mining area has been abandoned." Clint explained with a sigh.

"Then I'll help you expand your business next time." Lyon comforted him.

"You can complete most of the metal ore processing work by yourself, right?" Clint looked at Leon puzzledly and asked.

"Yes, but I don't make tools, weapons and armor. You should be good at these, but you just lack the connections. I can help you build sales channels." Leon reminded.

"Well, if you can bring in orders, I'll give you a commission." Clint looked at Leon seriously and promised.

"Actually, you can contact the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce about this matter. After all, their channels are much wider than a farmer like me."

"I'm just a small-time blacksmith. The Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce won't cooperate with a small workshop like mine."

"I'll ask for you later. The person in charge of business in Stardew Valley and I have a good relationship."

Leon wrote this matter down as a way of repaying Clint for his previous help and kindness.

With Clint's thanks, Leon left the blacksmith shop, boarded the mine cart, and went to the mine.

Leon was quite surprised when the mine cart drove into the mountain, because the mine cart tunnel in the mountain was not completely dark. On the walls on both sides of the excavated passage, there were a lot of luminous moss of the same type as the sewer. Although the light provided was not strong, the illumination provided by dispelling the darkness was really not low.

This is pretty good. At least there is no need to worry about claustrophobia, although Leon does not have this problem.

The place where the mine cart suddenly stopped was next to the mine entrance that Leon was familiar with.

After getting off the mine cart, Leon went straight to the tunnel opposite to find the dwarf. After greeting the dwarf, he explained his purpose.

"Need a lot of bombs? No problem, or super bombs?"

"A normal bomb will do," Leon corrected.

"Well, no problem. So, do you need bombs or crystal caves as a gift this time?" the dwarf asked.

"Bombs, I need quite a lot."

These bombs were prepared to reach the 100th floor of the Skull Mine in one go. If we just rely on pickaxes to knock them down piece by piece, God knows how long it will take.

Now that I have enough money, the natural choice is bombs. Not only is it efficient, but the power of the bombs can also force out some monsters that are good at hiding and camouflaging, avoiding possible and unprepared dangers.
