A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 159: Parsnips are ripe

Upon hearing this, Rasmodes looked at Lyon with a strange expression, and then disappeared in front of Lyon.

Lyon didn't care about Diolasmodes's departure. After all, just like when he came, the great wizard's movements were beyond Lyon's ability to figure out.

But he was curious about whether Lasmodes had sensed the problem on the beach or had been spying on Leon's whereabouts. If it was the former, Leon would praise the other party for being a worthy guardian and fulfilling his duties.

But if it is the latter, Lyon will have to consider how to find the magician management agency to complain and report this perverted wizard.

The fisherman left, the hook was retrieved, and Leon hooked it with red worms again and threw it into the sea.

There were no accidents this time. When the float began to float up and down, Leon pulled it up and successfully pulled out a piece of water grass.

“Seaweed: It can be used in cooking.”

The simple description of the system made it seem so ordinary. Looking at the green marine algae in his hand, Leon thought of kelp.

After putting it into his backpack, Lyon baited the hook again.

But this time the wait was much longer, until Lyon noticed a group of continuous bubbles emerging from the sea water. Lyon couldn't help but retract the fishing hook and threw it towards the location of the bubbles.

The moment the hook with the bait fell into that area, Leon saw the entire float completely disappear under the water. At the same time, the reel in his hand was being pulled out madly and uncontrollably. Leon hurriedly gripped the fishing rod, controlled the speed of the reel's line output, and consciously controlled the recovery of the fishing line.

There was a very strong struggle feedback. Although the force was not great, the frequency of moving around was very high. When Lyon lifted the rod and reeled in the line, he felt like he was walking a happy Husky.

Fortunately, the fishing line of the fiberglass fishing rod is very strong and the line group is also very long, which allows Lyon to control the line at will to play with the greedy fish in the water. The process of reeling in and releasing the line lasted for more than a minute, and Lyon felt that the strength of the struggle of the unlucky guy who was hooked was weakening.

"Strike while the fish is weak" is a wise saying taught by our ancestors. Lyon quickly turned the reel to reel in the line and soon dragged the slightly difficult fish out of the water.

As soon as he came out of the water, Lyon saw the true appearance of the thing in the water. To be honest, Lyon was stunned when he first saw it. After all, this thing looked too much like a snake.

Although he was not that scared, Leon was still a little panicked when it came to snakes, especially sea snakes, which were powerful weapons that mainly released neurotoxins.

Only after pulling it completely out of the water did Leon breathe a sigh of relief. It was not a sea snake, but an eel, because it had a clear dorsal fin.

After dragging it onto the dock, Lyon was not in a hurry to remove the hook, because eels are different from ordinary fish. Their flexible bodies and sharp teeth make them good at biting people.

So this time, Lyon directly put it into his backpack through the air. With a small magnetic ring, Lyon did not need to touch the items personally to complete the storage task.

It just seemed very soulless, but for the sake of his own hands, Leon felt that there was nothing wrong with betraying the fisherman's beliefs a little.

After catching the eel, Lyon could basically put away his rod and go back, but seeing that his fishing level had not yet been upgraded, Lyon silently put on the bait and continued fishing.

When Leon pulled another herring from the water, he finally heard the system's notification. "After so much fishing, you've gained a new understanding of how to catch fish. Your fishing level has increased by one level."

You have received the blessing of the sea. The first three fish you catch each day will be more easily attracted to your bait, significantly increasing your chances of catching them."

There is no unlocked recipe, but there is an extra blessing. It has nothing to do with physical fitness enhancement, but is closely related to the fishing skill.

Lyon wasn't quite sure what this significant increase in the chance of catching a fish meant, so he cast the hook again and started fishing.

To Leon's surprise, the float began to float up and down less than ten seconds after the hook was in the water. The moment he lifted the rod, he felt the hooked fish trying to break free from the hook.

It’s a pity that ordinary small-sized fish are just like toys in Lyon’s hands. There is no need to consume its physical energy. It can be dragged ashore by simply reeling in the line. An anchovy is caught by Lyon.

"That's the principle. It's really fast."

If you ask what is the most torturous thing about fishing, besides the debris and aquatic plants in the water, it is the long waiting time for the fish to bite. Now with the blessing of the sea, Leon is freed from one worry. It's a pity that the chance of catching fish is only limited to three per day, otherwise he could have made a fortune by fishing.

Thinking that the day was almost over, Lyon started casting again in order not to waste the remaining two fishing opportunities. Both times he caught fish were within twenty seconds. After catching a herring and a flounder, the waiting time for Lyon's fourth cast was obviously much longer than before.

Compared with other skill upgrades, Lyon feels that the additional attributes of the fishing upgrade are a bit weaker, but since it is a free ability, Lyon is embarrassed to dislike it.

After waiting for more than two minutes without seeing any movement from the float, Lyon decisively put away his rod and started his journey home. On the way back, he could only use a bicycle when he was in Pelican Town, and he basically walked in other places.

There's no way around it. Apart from Pelican Town, there are basically no proper roads. They are all dirt roads with a very rural feel. When it rains, it's hard to walk, let alone ride a bike.

Unless someone repairs this road, it will be a real pain to walk on it on rainy days.

When Lyon returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After taking a quick shower, Lyon watched TV for a while while waiting for his hair to dry. After his hair was completely dry, he went to bed.

He had a dreamless night. When the sun shone into the cabin the next day, Leon opened his eyes, stretched, got up and washed, ate something as usual, then took out the watering can and left the cabin.

Just before Lyon watered the plants, he unexpectedly discovered something special: the windbreak he had planted before was actually flashing with a faint emerald green light.

At first, Leon thought he was dizzy because he didn't sleep well, but after rubbing his eyes, he found that he could still see the emerald green light on the parsnips. So he curiously moved over, found one of the parsnips, and reached out to grab its slightly thick stems and leaves.

"Ripe Parsnips (Ready to Harvest)"

The moment he touched the parsnips, Lyon noticed the system's prompt. This time, not only the parsnips he touched had this prompt, but this prompt appeared above the heads of all the parsnips within Lyon's field of vision.
