A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Xia Xun nodded, opened the bag and put the money in. After confirming the quantity, she was about to take out her money when she was stopped.

"Um, Lord Xia Xun, all this coal is offered to you. Could you please grant me some divine fruit in return?" the blacksmith asked nervously.

"Of course, but this is just a normal transaction, there's no need for any offerings or anything."

Xia Xun smiled and glanced at the food in her backpack. The only fresh things she brought today were some cucumbers and strawberries.

Since it was for her own consumption, Xia Xun naturally brought only Silver Stars.

Two hundred pieces of coal, which is equivalent to one thousand coins, was enough for him, but if he used it to go down into the mine, he would have nothing to eat.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Xun borrowed paper and pen from the blacksmith, wrote an IOU, and then left behind his magical aura.

"Take this. You can use it to redeem goods worth 1,000 coins at the Stardew Valley shop."

"Thank you, Lord Xia Xun!" The blacksmith excitedly accepted the note, expressing his deepest gratitude.

"No need to thank me." Xia Xun smiled and turned to leave.

Walking down the street, he could feel many people staring at him.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Xun, who had originally planned to visit Xiao Ling at Suzunaan, turned around and headed directly towards the Hieda family's residence.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but he accidentally forgot about the Hieda family when it came to the shipment quota.

But seeing the blacksmith's family's attitude today, Xia Xun suddenly realized that he had been neglecting his crops in Stardew Valley.

For sick humans, eating crops that directly restore energy is practically a panacea.

Hidden family.

Upon seeing Xia Xun's arrival, the gatekeepers respectfully invited him into the house, and then one of them quickly ran to inform Hieda Akyuu.

Not long after, Hieda Akyuu rushed in from the inner room.

"Xia Xun, you've finally arrived!"

With a happy look on her face, Hieda Akyuu grabbed Natsumi and headed into the inner room, ignoring everyone else present.

"Ever since you became a god, I've been waiting for you ever since Stardew Valley's crops became known in the Village of Men."

"I have a lot to say to you about the supply and sale of crops from Stardew Valley Farm."

"Yes, yes, I came here today to talk to you about this." Xia Xun nodded hurriedly, not daring to mention that she had already finished the matter.

Grabbing Xia Xun all the way to the guest room, Hieda Akyuu couldn't wait to sit down opposite him, taking out a notebook and staring at him.

"Xia Xun, do you know what's going on at the Stardew Valley store lately?"

"Also, you clearly promised to provide crops to my family, when are you going to supply them?"

"About this matter," Xia Xun coughed twice, thankful that she had already thought it through on the way: "A Qiu, you also know that the farm's output is limited right now, and we currently have many partners."

"However, out of respect for you, Akyuu, I'm prepared to provide the Hieda family with 3% of each shipment from the farm."

"Only 3%." Hieda Akyuu's face showed some disappointment upon hearing this.

"Akyuu, don't underestimate this 3%. Even the Yakumo family, the only family of sage yokai, only gets this much." Xia Xun quickly held up his finger.

Upon hearing this, Hieda Akyuu's disappointment vanished instantly, and she looked at Natsumi with great gratitude: "I see, thank you Natsumi."

"Hehe, no need to thank me, no need to thank me." Xia Xun waved his hand cheerfully, secretly relieved, and then said, "But Ah Qiu, did you say something happened to the Stardew Valley shop?"

Hieda Akyuu's happy expression vanished, and he sighed, "Ever since the news spread that the crops from the Stardew Valley shop could restore energy and cure illnesses, the wealthy families in the village have been sending people to buy them up."

“It’s very difficult for ordinary families to buy Stardew Valley items when their children are sick.”

As he spoke, Hieda Akyuu looked at Natsumi with a resentful expression.

"Someone promised to supply my family with crops, but I haven't heard back at all."

"I had no choice but to send people to guard the area, and then I distributed the crops I bought to those who were in dire need, but I ended up having nothing to eat myself."

Chapter 226 Please Upgrade Your Backpack

ding dong~

Welcome!

The glass door opened, and an automatic welcome announcement rang out, drawing the attention of Ibuki Suika, who was lost in thought at the counter, to the doorway.

"Xia Xun, what brings you here?"

As Natsumi, Hieda Akyuu, and Motoori Kosuzu walked into the store, Ibuki Suika asked curiously.

"I've come over to talk to you about something."

Xia Xun glanced at the crowd waiting outside, feeling as if her shop had become a popular online store.

Suika Ibuki naturally noticed Natsumi's gaze and assumed he had come because of this matter. She couldn't help but say smugly, "Hmph, didn't expect that, did you? I still have a good business sense."

“The group of people outside are waiting for our store to restock. The items in the store always sell out very quickly.”

At this point, Suika Ibuki looked delighted, since Natsumi directly distributed the profits from the Stardew Valley store to the three people who ran the store.

Suddenly having a source of income, Ibuki Suika would wander around shopping whenever she had free time.

"Mmm, Suika is amazing."

Looking at the very cute Ibuki Suika, Xia Xun couldn't help but step forward and rub her little face, then said, "But the reason I came here this time is actually because of this matter."

"I hope that you, Suika, will temporarily limit the number of items a person can buy in the store."

"Huh, why?" Suika Ibuki asked, looking puzzled.

That's how it is.

Xia Xun then explained the details to Ibuki Suika, who pouted as she listened.

"It's such a small matter, but it's so troublesome~"

With her chin resting on her hand, Suika Ibuki looked unhappy: "If that's the case, won't we have to do a lot more work?"

"Don't worry, Suika-neechan!" Motoori Suzume raised her little hand confidently and said, "Because I'll be here to help next too."

Not long ago.

Natsumi and Hieda Akyuu went to Suzuna-an to visit Motoori Kosuzu.

She was very happy to welcome the two of them, but she was a little curious as to why they had come together.

Actually, Suzuka was a little awkward. After all, her older brother had come to the village so often, and the first person he saw was not her, but Akyuu.

However, after hearing Xia Xun's detailed account of the situation, Motoori Kosuzu volunteered to help.

As the mascot of Suzunaan, Motoori Suzu has recently heard a lot of news about big spenders monopolizing products in Stardew Valley shops.

In just a few days, she had already heard a lot of complaints.

Some people even secretly asked Motoori Kozuki to inform Xia Xun, while others openly or secretly hoped to obtain Xia Xun's contact information from her.

Because of these things, Motoori Kozue has been very troubled lately, and is even worried that Natsumi's reputation, which has spread throughout the Human Village, will be damaged.

She had originally planned to go to Stardew Valley Farm to find Xia Xun, but unexpectedly, he came to see her today.

As for Suzuna-an's work, Motoori Kosuzu explained it to her grandfather and immediately received his approval.

In the grandfather's opinion, this is also a good thing. Since Xiaoling is already determined to marry Xia Xun, it's good for her to get involved in Stardew Valley's industries as soon as possible, so that she can better help Xia Xun in the future.

"Rin, you want to help too?" Suika Ibuki looked at Suzu Motoori with surprise and nodded happily: "Yes, yes, it's no problem if you can help."

Unlike the three fairies, Sunny, Star, and Luna, Suika Ibuki values ​​Suzu Motoori quite a bit.

She is Xia Xun's adopted younger sister and fiancée, so as the eldest sister, she naturally has to take good care of her.

Moreover, Motoori Kosuzu is the mascot of Suzunaan, so she can definitely share a lot of the work and support the shop when she's not around, giving me time to go out for drinks.

Motoori Kosuzu was very happy to receive Ibuki Suika's welcome and recognition, and immediately began to learn how to work in the store from her.

In reality, if there aren't many jobs available at Stardew Valley stores right now, once its reputation spreads, all the new crops will be snapped up.

Xia Xun's crop quota allocated to the Stardew Valley store last time was completely snapped up in the last few days.

Suika Ibuki had been doing nothing at the shop all day. If Natsumi hadn't suddenly arrived, she would have stayed a little longer before going out for drinks.

Anyway, there's nothing on the first floor, and Kawashiro Nitori is watching over things on the second floor.

As for Tatara Kosuke, she had been smelting minerals all night and went to rest after breakfast this morning.

Seeing this, Natsumi didn't disturb Ibuki Suika, who was teaching Motoori Kosuzu, and quietly went upstairs.

Hieda Akyuu, seeing Natsumi's actions, curiously followed. She had also heard in the past two days that there was a Kappa shop on the second floor of the Stardew Valley store.

After visiting the Kappa Market with Xia Xun a few days ago, she has been very interested in Kappa technology products.

Although she knew that technology could not be developed in the human village, Motoori Suzu saw that the kappa had opened his shop openly in the village, so maybe he could lift some restrictions.

Ding ding dong.

The crisp knocking sound echoed, and the two people who had just come upstairs saw Kawashiro Nitori constantly adjusting a strange machine with a wrench.

Xia Xun looked curiously at the thing that resembled a mechanical arm and took a few steps forward to get closer.

"This is not for sale; the item is on that shelf over there."

Kawashiro Nitori spoke casually, completely absorbed in his invention, his mind completely focused.

This is her new invention, which she bought with the money she earned over the past few days. She's been constantly testing it.

As a kappa with a grand dream, Kawashiro Nitori plans to create a powerful robot with even greater strength to protect the best cucumber god.

Seeing Kawashiro Nitori so engrossed, Natsumi decided not to disturb the cute little guy and turned to look at the things the kappa were selling in the shop.

Hieda Akyuu had been looking at the shelves for a while, looking somewhat disappointed.

When Xia Xun came over and saw this, she understood why she had this expression. It was because the things the kappa were selling were all very ordinary products.

You'll hardly see any of the diverse technological products at the Kappa Market. The vast majority are industrial products that suit the local population, such as better-made pots and pans, knives and hoes.

Products with even a little bit of technology are just ordinary items like bicycles and kettles.

Hieda Akyuu was somewhat disappointed. She had thought that the kappa might sell some electrical appliances this time, which would allow them to access electricity.

However, this is normal.

With a soft sigh, Hieda Akyuu understood: daytime belongs to humans, and nighttime belongs to yokai.

If electricity were provided and the nights in the human realm were illuminated by electric lights, then humanity's fear of the dark would be reduced, and the monsters would not agree to that.

Xia Xun was unaware of the complex emotions in Hieda Akyuu's mind. After looking at the goods on the shelf, his gaze fell on a huge backpack that resembled a Kawashiro Nitori bag, and he couldn't help but pick it up to take a look out of curiosity.

[Ding! Do you want to use materials to upgrade your backpack level?]

Chapter 227 Not a Thief, Right?

Rainbow Dragon Cave.

Ding

As the elevator opened, Xia Xun arrived at the third basement level once again.

"I never expected that the upgrade materials for backpacks would be so simple."

With a big smile on her face, Xia Xun couldn't help but open the fully upgraded backpack again, feeling very pleased with herself.

As the farm continued to expand, backpacks became increasingly insufficient, but without a way to upgrade, he believed that he could only upgrade when he fully understood his power in the future.

So, upgrading your backpack just means using a bigger one.

The brilliance of the jewel ring illuminated the mine and drove away the wandering spirits in the vicinity.

Xia Xun arrived at the seventeenth floor and walked along the mine tunnel he had dug yesterday, heading deeper into the mine. With the enhancement of his Golden Stone Blessing, he could see the locations of more ores.

Reaching the deepest point, Xia Xun's gaze pierced through the rock wall, revealing gold and iron ore buried deep within. He took out a pickaxe and chipped a deep pit into the wall, then retrieved a bomb from his backpack, activated it, and placed it inside before turning and running away.

Xia Xun dashed out more than twenty meters in a flash, then hid in a specially dug hiding tunnel and covered her ears tightly.

Holding his breath and concentrating, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel nervous.

Boom!

A huge explosion followed by a tremor, and the sound of falling soil and rocks was like rain. The impact then churned up dust in the mine tunnel.

"Exciting!"
