A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 309 Sandy's Warning

"That's such a pity. In fact, apart from sandworm sashimi, the fried scorpion and grilled rattlesnake are quite good. The texture and taste are not much worse than chicken." Sandy's expression at the moment was full of regret.

"And it has five times the protein of beef, right?" Lyon couldn't help but complain when he heard it.

Unfortunately, Sandy didn't get the joke. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and replied, "I don't know either, but the protein content should be about the same as beef, not that exaggerated."

"Go cook. I'm hungry." Too lazy to explain the meaning of his words to Sandy, Leon urged Sandy directly.

"I don't cook." Sandy also leaned on the table and replied weakly: "Someone will bring us food when the time comes. We just need to eat it."

"It seems like that. Last time we had a barbecue together, you didn't even touch anything. It seems like you relied on others to feed you."

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but recall the last time he came to see Sandy with Emily and Abigail. At noon, it was basically Leon and Emily who were grilling the barbecue, and Sandy, like Abigail, was only responsible for eating.

"After all, I am the owner of the Oasis Store, so I do have these small privileges," Sandy replied.

"Who delivered it to you? The person upstairs?" Leon asked tentatively.

"Well, but don't even think about sneaking in. That wooden bodyguard is not someone you can easily mess with. If you don't cross the line, he'll just pretend he didn't see you. But once you cross the line, I won't be able to plead for you." Sandy reminded Leon with a serious expression.

"I don't want to see you hung from a coconut tree to dry. That would be too disgusting."

"Probably not, and my sword is not at all disadvantageous." Leon replied with a smile.

But it was just a joke. He was not a reckless man and it was impossible for him to have any violent conflict with the bodyguard. After all, there was no grudge between the two sides. The bodyguard was doing his job loyally. If he acted recklessly for his own selfish desires, he would be a piece of shit.

Although Leon's moral bottom line is flexible, his values ​​are still quite positive. Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that Leon himself feels that he may not be able to beat the bodyguard.

Sandy just smiled and didn't say anything. Before dinner started, she grabbed Leon and asked him about the recent events in Stardew Valley. Just as Emily said, Sandy liked Stardew Valley very much.

"What? You repaired the bus?" Sandy widened his eyes when he heard Leon accidentally mention that he had repaired the bus.

"What's so surprising? I just paid the money." Leon looked at Sandy's exaggerated reaction in confusion.

There is really no problem in talking about money, after all, the sacrifice packages in the vault all require money.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to have such an idea." Sandy smiled and said perfunctorily, but looking at her expression, you can't tell that this girl is really surprised by the fact that the bus was repaired by Lyon.

After Sandy intentionally skipped this topic, the next thing Sandy asked was mainly about Emily. Leon had nothing to do anyway, so he had nothing to hide. After all, what he knew was nothing that could not be told. If Sandy wanted to hear it, he would tell her.

"It's a pity that I didn't have time to go to Haley's birthday party." Sandy looked regretful when she heard Leon talk about what happened at Haley's birthday party.

"It must be something very important." Lyon asked casually.

"I guess so. We hosted a team of desert explorers that day. If I hadn't prepared supplies for them, they might never have returned." Sandy had no intention of hiding anything.

"What is the explorer team doing in the deep desert?" Upon hearing this, Leon immediately became interested.

"What else can we do? Detect monster density, repair watchtowers and change border guards. It's the same every year," Sandy replied.

"What's in the depths of the desert?" Leon thought of the information he had heard about the Land of Falling Stars, so he wanted to know if this team of explorers was going there?
"How can an ordinary shop owner like me know what's in the depths of the desert? If you're interested in this, you can go directly to the Explorers' Guild and ask. As long as you show your galactic weapons, you probably won't even need to go through any procedures to join the Explorers' Guild." Sandy rolled his eyes and complained.

Upon hearing this, Leon looked at Sandy, who was pretending to be weak, with great disgust. He did not believe the fact that she said she was an ordinary person.

"I'm already an explorer, but the guild I registered with is the one in Pelican Town, and I don't know many explorers."

"I was kidding. You actually joined the Explorers Guild? Are you crazy? Wouldn't it be better to be a farmer? Why do you want to do such a life-threatening job?" Sandy's expression was very interesting when he heard that Leon had become an explorer.

There was regret, confusion, contempt, and even silence, but in the end, it all turned into disgust. However, he still warned Leon: "Don't be so hot-blooded as to believe the nonsense of those old guys in the Explorers' Guild. Remember that your status as a farmer is higher than that of the Explorers' Guild. If they force you to go on a garrison mission deep in the desert, you will leave the Explorers' Guild directly. Do you understand?"

"Didn't you say you don't know the depths of the desert?" Lyon joked to Sandy with a smile.

But this time, Sandy's expression was very serious: "I'm not kidding, Leon, the area deep in the desert is not suitable for you to go to. Those explorers who go there to garrison there will at most eat more sand and live in more difficult conditions, but there is not much risk to their lives.

Their role is merely to investigate, but you are different. The natural power you possess is a dazzling beacon in the eyes of those monsters. Due to their hatred for life, you will attract the attention of the monsters, and they will do everything they can to kill you."

"Is there such a saying?" Lyon asked in surprise.

"I don't know if you've ever come into contact with monsters in human-inhabited areas. They're dangerous, but not insane. The monsters deep in the desert are different. They've all grown up in infection and curses, lacking any reason or wisdom. They only know how to fight and kill, and they absolutely despise living things. Beings like you, possessing immense vitality and natural power, are exactly the kind they despise the most."

Sandy sternly emphasized to Leon, "So don't try to get close to that area filled with death and curse. The moment you appear there, you will be surrounded by endless monsters and torn to pieces."

"Don't worry, I'm just asking out of curiosity. I value my life very much." Leon comforted Sandy seriously.

He is still young, with plenty of good times to spend and many fun things to experience. He is not some hot-blooded protagonist who has the ambition to wipe out all darkness and let light fill the world.
