A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 91 Passionate Gunther

In the game, the Star Fruit is a top-level fruit that can improve the player's ability value. Players need to obtain it through various means, and can only obtain seven.

The ways to obtain it are: one from the treasure chest on the hundredth floor of the mine, one from your lover after you reach a fourteen-star favorability with your lover after marriage, one from rare seeds purchased from a traveling merchant and planted on the first day of autumn, and one from the Gem Sweet Berries harvested on the last day of autumn and then offered as a sacrifice in front of the old man statue in the Secret Forest.

There is also one given by Brother Willy after you catch a complete collection of fish, one reward for collecting all the fish in the library collection room, one that can be purchased from a special merchant at the Stardew Valley Expo in autumn, and the last one bought from the little black Krobus in the sewer.

It is not certain how many Leons can be obtained in the real Stardew Valley, and even whether the acquisition channels are the same as in the game is still debatable. Except for Krobus who is confirmed to have a Star Fruit, there is no way to confirm the other Leons for the time being.

But there is a trace of Star Fruit Tea, and Lyon believes what Guts said. So the Star Fruit Tea that Lewis has in his hand as a prize for the lottery makes Lyon very interested. After all, it is a new thing that he has never heard of. This good thing is exactly the same as the Star Fruit, and Lyon really wants to get it and try it.

"Regarding the commissions on the bulletin board, are they available every day?" Leon certainly knew the function of the bulletin board, but he was not sure whether the tasks on the bulletin board were as frequent as those in the game.

"Of course not, but there are still two or three commissions a week. You can pay attention to it when you pass by Pierre's Grocery Store occasionally." As someone who goes to Pierre's Grocery Store every day to purchase bar supplies, Gus is very clear about the situation on the bulletin board.

"Is that so?" Leon was not too surprised to hear this. The refresh frequency was about the same as in the game. He just didn't know whether the order reward required for the commission would be three times the item's selling price, the same as in the game.

But Willy said that he could make some money, and there were also raffle ticket rewards. Leon didn't intend to miss these tasks. It was not shameful to make extra money, and who could resist money?

They ate, drank and chatted. No one disturbed them during lunch this time, and the dishes were plentiful. Willy and Gus were talkative and nice guys, so the meal took more than an hour. Gus didn't stand up and start cleaning up until the food on the plate was almost finished.

Willy and Leon also joined in to help. When everything was done, Willy and Leon said goodbye to Guts and left the Stardrop Salon.

Willy, who was standing at the door, did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one, and asked Leon: "Would you like one?"

"Um, come on." Leon was a smoker in his previous life. In this life, because he had a new body, he had no addiction to smoking and had not considered buying cigarettes. Now that Willy suddenly did this, Leon couldn't help but want to try it.

So Willy naturally handed one to Leon and helped him light it. Leon took a deep puff out of habit and immediately started coughing.

"Hahaha, looking at your posture, I thought you were a veteran, how could you choke like this." Looking at Leon's embarrassed appearance, like a newbie who just came into contact with tobacco, Willy couldn't help but complain.

"I haven't smoked for a long time." Leon smiled bitterly and waved his hands. This was something his brain could understand, but his body was resisting.

"Then don't smoke anymore. It's bad for your health." Willy advised Leon.

"Yeah." Leon nodded, stubbed out the cigarette, and threw it into the trash can outside the Stardrop Salon.

Since this body has no smoking addiction, there is no need to pick up this bad habit.

"Would you like to go fishing with me at the beach? There are no merchant ships approaching the dock today, so I plan to fish all day." Willy, who was smoking, asked Leon after taking a big puff of smoke.

"No, I'm busy with other things, but thank you for your guidance this morning." Leon thought of the packet of ancient seeds and declined Willy's invitation. "Well, you still have a farm to manage. Fishing is fun, but work is still your priority." Willy didn't blame Leon. After saying this, Willy took out 300G currency from his pocket and handed it to Leon.

"Your fish money."

"Then I'll take it." Lyon was not polite.

"Haha, you deserve it." Willy laughed and patted Leon's shoulder. "When you have time, you can come to my fish house. I not only buy fish, but also sell some fishing-related equipment, such as fishing lines, bait, floats, fishing gear, etc."

"Sure, see you next time. I'll go first." Leon nodded, then said goodbye to Willy, rode his bike, and headed straight towards the library.

When Leon parked the car outside the library and just walked in, he saw Gunther walking towards him.

"Mr. Lyon, it's nice to meet you. I have already placed the palm fossils that Miss Abigail sent yesterday into the collection room. This is a good start. I also appreciate your cooperation and help."

As soon as they met, Gunther shook Leon's hand and said with emotion, "That palm fossil is in excellent condition and has great research and appreciation value. It's an outstanding collection."

"Mr. Gunther, there's no need to be so polite." Lyon quickly let go of his hand. If Gunther hadn't been wearing gloves and their hands hadn't touched directly, Lyon would have avoided Gunther's handshake at the first moment.

After all, no one knows whether those seemingly enthusiastic men are gay, so it’s always a good idea to be on guard.

"Mr. Leon, are you here to read books this time?" Gunther didn't care about Leon's shyness and asked about Leon's purpose. "If so, please tell me what book you're looking for and I can get it for you. I have the location of every book in the library memorized, which can save you a lot of time."

"No, it's because I brought something that looks like an antique." As Leon spoke, he took out a bag of ancient seeds from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Gunther.

"Oh, this is a good thing, both for the collection room and for you, Mr. Lyon."

The moment Gunther took the seed, he pushed up his glasses. He then walked to the front desk with the ancient seed and took out a magnifying glass. After carefully examining it for a long time, he said, "It is indeed an ancient seed, the core of an edible plant from ancient times. Unfortunately, it has lost its vitality."

"Then why did Mr. Gunther say it was a good thing for me?" Although Leon knew that Gunther could restore the activity of ancient seeds, he still pretended to be ignorant and asked Gunther questions.

"Because I happen to know how to restore its vitality." Gunther replied with a smile, then glanced at the bag in Leon's hand: "This one will be donated to the collection room as a collection. In return, I will give you something that can restore the vitality of the seed. What do you think, Mr. Leon?"

"These are antiquities brought for the museum's collection room." Lyon replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Leon, for your support and donation to the collection room. I accept this ancient seed. Of course, there's no point in me keeping the thing that's supposed to restore the seed's vitality, so I'll give it to you, Mr. Leon."
