A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 96 The Joja family is really rich

Of course, this was just Lyon's talk. After all, he had really made plans for the worst. But now nothing happened and the meteorite did not cause any economic losses. This is definitely a good thing for Lyon.

He knew this meteorite. After all, he had seen it in the game. It was an extremely rare event - a meteorite from outer space.

After smashing the meteorite, you can obtain iridium ore stones and universal crystal balls, but because they are too rare, as long as the location is not too close to a planned breeding or planting area, most players will keep the meteorite as a souvenir.

However, if you want to knock off this hard bone that has not lost much volume after rubbing against the atmosphere for a long time, you need at least a golden draft. If you use the ordinary pickaxe in Lyon's hand to hit it, it will probably be no different from a mayfly shaking a tree.

But the great man said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, so Leon took out the pickaxe and hit the meteorite.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang"

Accompanied by a series of knocking sounds, the meteorite was not only smashed into pieces, but not even a hole appeared at the place where the pickaxe hit it. Instead, Leon's fingers were numb from the recoil force.

"Um"

After taking back the pickaxe, Leon shook his hands, then returned to the wooden house, picked up the soup pot that he had put down earlier to check the situation, and continued to slurp the noodles.

It was as if nothing had happened before. Fortunately, there were no outsiders on the farm, so this embarrassing scene was not seen by others.

After eating a pot of noodles, Lyon's belly was so full. He quickly got up and washed the soup pot. When Lyon was about to go to bed, he saw Lewis walking towards him from the east entrance of the farm.

"Lewis, why are you coming here so late at night?"

Leon looked at Lewis and asked doubtfully as he just came over and stood there looking around the entire farm.

"When I came out of the Stardrop Salon, I saw a fire in the sky. It must be a meteorite, and the direction it fell was very close to your farm, so I hurried over to check it out."

Lewis looked at Lyon's intact appearance, and the Red Star Farm, whose planting scale had only increased compared to before, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the meteorite did not hit your farm. This is really something worth celebrating."

"Oh, you mean the meteorite? It's over there." Lyon was a little touched when he heard this. After all, Lewis realized that something was wrong here and came over as soon as possible. It was obvious that the old man cared about him very much.

"Did it really hit your farm?" Lewis widened his eyes, then looked in the direction of Leon's finger. It was too dark and he couldn't see too far, but since Leon himself said so, he had to believe it.

Then Lewis hurriedly asked: "Is there any damage to the farm?"

"No." Leon shook his head.

"That's good, that's good." Lewis calmed down a lot after hearing this answer, and then asked Leon: "Can you take me to see this meteorite?"

"This way." Leon did not hesitate and took Lewis to the abandoned greenhouse.

After seeing the meteorite, Lewis's expression was very interesting. After all, he heard from Leon that the farm was not damaged by the meteorite fall. He thought that the meteorite had been burned into small stones when it rubbed against the atmosphere, but this big guy with a diameter of four meters in front of him did not look like a small stone at all.

A meteorite of this size would have made a big hole on the ground even if it fell from a building more than ten meters high, let alone falling from space. Now, if it weren't for its strange appearance, Lewis would have believed that this meteorite was originally on the farm.

"It's worthy of being called Red Star Farm." After a long silence, Lewis finally sighed. This sigh came from the heart. Lewis couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if a meteorite of this diameter hit Pelican Town, but it would definitely not be as calm as it is now.

"Hehe, sorry for the rudeness." Lyon didn't know how to answer Lewis, but since Lewis was praising his farm, Lyon could only be humble and polite.

Lewis looked at Leon speechlessly after hearing this: “I’m glad to know that you are okay here, then I’ll go back first.”

"Wait, Lewis, about the shipment results of green onions." Seeing Lewis once, Lyon stepped forward to stop Lewis's departure, rubbing his hands and reminding Lewis.

"I didn't bring any money with me when I went out. Let's wait until tomorrow. I will send the payment to you by email tomorrow." Lewis replied immediately.

"What happened to the landslide incident caused by the Joja family in the northern foothills?" Leon continued to inquire.

After all, whether it was his own plan, the backpack mission, or the problem of his low tool level exposed by the meteorite today, they were all reminding Leon that it was time to go to the mine.

So he really wanted to know whether Lewis had dealt with the issue of the Joja family's illegal mining in the northern foothills in a timely manner.

"I'd almost forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. The Joja engineering team should be clearing the collapsed areas and stabilizing the nearby mountain within the next two days. However, I must remind you that they will notify all residents of Pelican Town via letter regarding the Joja family incident. They won't admit that the collapse was caused by illegal mining. I hope you can understand that."

Speaking of this, Lewis's expression was a little embarrassed.

Lyon smiled when he heard this. He understood what Lewis meant. The Joja family in Pelican Town had reached some agreement.

Joja's public relations department will not admit this matter in order to avoid damaging the reputation of Joja's supermarket. In order to save face, Joja should offer Lewis a deal that he cannot refuse in order to shut up the mayor of Pelican Town.

Lewis was not the only person who knew about this. There was also Leon who proposed to extort money from the Joja family, and George. Thinking of George, Leon asked, "Oh."

"So what are you going to do about George? After all, he's the most sensitive to these things."

Lewis glanced at the bicycle that originally belonged to George parked next to the wooden house, and no longer wondered why Leon knew about George's past: "I have already informed George in advance. Although he was a little dissatisfied, considering that this deal is good for the development and future of Pelican Town, he acquiesced."

"What compensation did Joja offer?" Leon asked.

"The mountains at the northern foothills will be reinforced, and the Joja family will build several main roads for Pelican Town on the grounds of supporting its development," Lewis replied.

"Is that all?" Lyon raised his eyebrows when he heard this. If that was all, Lyon would definitely despise Lewis's pettiness.

Lewis could understand what Leon meant and thought of another compensation. At this moment, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face. Even though there were only him and Leon on the farm now, Lewis still leaned close to Leon's ear and whispered.

"This is just hush money for the Joja family's cover-up of illegal mining. The real big payout is the fine I imposed on the Joja supermarket after consulting a lawyer about the Natural Resources Conservation Law of the Republic of Fingir."

"How much did you collect?" Lyon became interested.

"20WG is the maximum fine. The Joja family will pay it in full, and I will keep it as public development funds for Pelican Town."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Joja family is really rich."
