A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 145 Don’t Be Blue

This is a rare big fish, and the struggle between man and fish is also very exciting.

Haley immediately picked up the camera with one hand and took a picture of the catfish on the water, the fishing rod that was bent and about to fold together, the taut fishing line, and Leon who was like a rock and was stuck with the catfish without being pulled at all.

While Haley was taking pictures, Leon was not idle either. At this moment, he had half leaned back and began to lift the heavy fishing rod with all his strength. Realizing that the catfish's struggling strength began to weaken, Leon gritted his teeth and speeded up his movements.

While frantically reeling in the line, he took two steps back, then exerted force suddenly and pulled the giant catfish out of the water.

"Click..."

With a crisp sound, the bamboo fishing rod that had been with Willy for many years finally couldn't hold on. It was the first to be sacrificed in the duel between Leon and the giant catfish, and it broke completely into two pieces.

However, the giant catfish had been pulled out of the water at this moment, and because of inertia, even though the fishing rod was broken, it was still flying in the air and landed on the river bank in a twisted parabola.

Lyon threw away the half-broken fishing rod in his hand, stepped forward and stepped on the giant catfish jumping on the river bank, then grabbed its mouth and dragged it to an area away from the river bank.

"call"

Seeing that the catfish had completely lost the possibility of escape, Leon breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure and tension he felt in the previous fight were no less than that of the catfish trying to escape the hook and survive. Fortunately, he won in the end.

Although the loss was heavy, the fishing rod that Willy sent was completely broken and even repairs might not be possible, which made Leon feel embarrassed and wondered what to say to Willy next time he met him.

However, compared to these things that need to be worried about in the future, the culprit that caused the broken fishing rod in front of him is Lyon's main focus.

From Lyon's visual observation, this catfish is at least two meters long. The head of this giant catfish is comparable to half of Lyon's body. The tentacles of the catfish are as thick as a cucumber, the black-gray skin is covered with earthy brown mucus, and the huge body is like an oil barrel.

This body shape and the unique appearance of catfish make it look like a water monster.

Even if he didn't get close to it, just standing by, Lyon could smell the strong mixture of earthy and fishy smells, which made Lyon not want to come into contact with this giant catfish again.

"Haley, do you have any film left? Can you take a picture of me and this catfish?"

However, it is rare to see such a big catfish, and Leon does not want to miss this memorable moment. Haley happens to have a camera, and he wants to take a photo of his trophy and save it so that he will have the confidence and evidence to brag to others in the future.

"can."

Haley nodded, then instructed Lyon on how to position himself, and asked Lyon to make a scissors hand gesture as a celebration gesture, but Lyon rejected it.

Lyon chose to use the broken fishing rod as a display. After all, without the final persistence of this fishing rod, he would not have been able to pull up such a big catfish. As a hero, it is definitely qualified to be in the photo.

Seeing this, Haili didn't bother with the question of the celebration pose. She took three photos of Leon, the giant catfish, and the broken rod in a row, and then said to Leon: "It takes time to develop. I'll give you the photos next time we meet."

"Okay, thanks." Leon nodded, and then under Haley's gaze, he put the giant catfish into the system backpack. After all, he didn't want to carry such a big guy back, and Leon didn't want to come into contact with the fishy mucus on the giant catfish.

Moreover, dead fish are definitely not as valuable as live fish. If placed in the system backpack, it can also freeze the life of this giant catfish. This is information that Leon has learned from experiments.

The sardine that was reserved as a sacrificial item last time was put into the backpack and taken out a whole day later. It was still struggling in Leon's hands, which shows the magic of the system backpack.

It’s a pity that Leon didn’t dare to try to put humans into the system backpack. Although he was curious, his reason told him that this could not be done, so Leon never took action.

"No matter how many times I see it, it always feels magical." Haili sighed as she watched Leon's operation: "By the way, besides me, does anyone else know about your ability?"

Leon thought for a moment and decided not to tell Haley the truth. He then teased her, "No, you're the first one, so can you keep it a secret for me?" "Then I'll have to think about it." Haley couldn't help but smile smugly, but her words were still sharp: "After all, if I know your little secret, I have to use it to gain some benefits for myself."

"I don't have any money, but I have my life." Leon knew that Haley was joking, but he was still willing to cooperate. After all, it was very interesting. As a fun-loving person, he really wanted to see how Haley would respond to his words.

"Money, money, money, why do you always care so much about these things? It was like this when you asked for a bonus before, and it's the same when you mentioned benefits now. Is money the only thing on your mind?" Haley looked at Leon speechlessly and complained.

“What else?” Leon shrugged. “Nowadays, you don’t need money to do anything. Without money, even if you chase girls, they might not even bother to look at you.”

"Not all girls value money that much." Haley has a different opinion on what Leon said.

"You're not short of money." Leon reminded.

"That's true, but compared to the large amount of living expenses my parents send me every month, I still think it's better to use this money to have them by my side. After all, they have been traveling around the world for two years and haven't been home." Haley's expression became much sadder because of this topic.

Realizing that he might have brought up some sad memories for Hailey, Leon retracted his playful thoughts, walked to Hailey's side and comforted her: "Your parents are also human beings. They have their own way of life and ideas. This doesn't mean that they don't love you, right?"

"Maybe." Haley's expression was still a little lost.

Leon felt helpless when he saw this, and just as he was about to say something, he noticed that because his top was soaked, it became somewhat transparent, revealing another layer of private clothing under Haley's clothes. He quickly raised his head and warned her not to look.

"Why are you suddenly looking up at the sky? Is there something in the sky?" Haley noticed Leon's sudden movement of looking up, and asked curiously.

"I think instead of looking up, you need to lower your head." Leon still kept his head up, but did not forget to remind Haley.

Haley subconsciously lowered her head when she heard that, and saw the conspicuous blue on her chest. She immediately understood what Leon meant. Her face flushed red, and the strong shyness made her subconsciously punch Leon in the chest.

"You really like blue."

Leon was not a fool, and he would not let Haley vent her shame and anger. When the target was punched in vain, he dodged Haley's fist with ease, grabbed the broken fishing rod and ran away. But before leaving, he couldn't help but tease Haley.

"Ahhhh! Leon! You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Haley subconsciously covered her chest when she heard that, and didn't care that the umbrella in her hand fell to the ground. She looked at Leon who had already run away and roared in the rain.

"Ha ha ha ha."

But the only response she got was Leon's hearty laughter.

Certain that she couldn't catch up, and that her current condition wasn't suitable for doing so, Haley had no choice but to fold her arms over her chest and run back towards her home.

Fortunately, the riverbank was not far from the villa at No. 2 Liuxiang, and because it was raining, there was no one nearby. Haley successfully returned to the house and rushed into the bathroom under Emily's puzzled gaze.

A moment later, Emily heard Haley's call.

"Emily, help me get a new set of clothes and underwear from my room. Oh, and don't choose blue underwear. Definitely not blue!"
