A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

He gained so much in just one hour yesterday. If he worked on it for three days, wouldn't he have made over 10,000?

By then, we'll have all the money for the seeds for those fifteen acres of farmland!

As for yesterday's concern about having too much farmland to finish, times have changed.

Xia Xun raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the power surging in his arm. His body was now stronger than an ox.

Fifteen acres of land is hardly worth mentioning.

With her heart burning with anxiety, Xia Xun didn't want to waste a single second.

He and Miyo Okuno said their goodbyes in a hurry, then turned and rushed into the morning light outside the door, running wildly towards his farm.

Okunoda Miyo stood at the entrance of the Minato-tei, watching the figure running away grow smaller and smaller, a warm smile in her eyes.

She leaned against the door frame and watched for a long time until Xia Xun completely disappeared around the corner at the end of the road before turning around and walking back into the store.

She clenched her little fist, encouraging herself: "I'll do my best today too!"

She then glanced down at the glistening fish on the table, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

"With these fish that Natsumi sent, Miss Ibuki will surely be satisfied tonight."

Chapter 45 The Celestial Fox and the Gardener Who Came to Buy Vegetables

Even from a distance, Xia Xun sensed that something was wrong.

His farm seemed quite lively this morning, with several blurry figures along the edge of the fields.

Could it be Ni Jun, the vegetable thief?

Xia Xun, carrying a fishing rod, tensed up and immediately quickened his pace.

A moment later, he rushed to the edge of the farm, but the situation there left him completely bewildered.

Sunny, Star, and Luna, three little fairies, were fast asleep in their field, surrounded by ripe crops.

Two women were chatting by the edge of a field.

One of them was a girl with silver-white hair, wearing a light green mandarin jacket, with two swords at her waist, and something resembling a white dumpling floating beside her.

The other one clearly has the characteristics of a monster, wearing a dress similar to a Taoist robe, with a white hat on its yellow head that reaches its neck, and fox ears can be vaguely seen peeking out from the brim of the hat. Behind it are nine large, fluffy tails that bloom like flower petals.

Xia Xun's arrival caught their attention, and they both turned their gaze to her.

Xia Xun's expression tightened, after all, he had already been attacked by monsters twice recently.

But after carefully observing the two, his tension subsided. After all, their features were quite distinctive, and even though they were old and outdated, Xia Xun still remembered them.

Youmu Konpaku, a gardener at the Hakugyokurou in the underworld, and a servant of Yuyuko Saigyouji.

Yakumo Ran, the naked celestial fox, Yakumo Yukari's shikigami, the nine-tailed great demon.

But how did the two of them end up here?

Xia Xun, curious, asked, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"

"Are you the owner of this land, Mr. Xia Xun?" Yakumo Ran glanced at Xia Xun and spoke softly.

“Yes, but there’s one thing I need to correct.” Xia Xun nodded, then said seriously, “This is a farm, my Stardew Valley Farm.”

Yakumo Ran was taken aback when she heard this. She looked at Xia Xun, who was looking very serious. Although she didn't know what the other was insisting on, since it was all for farming, she nodded to indicate that she understood.

Then, Yakumo Ran bowed softly and explained her purpose to Xia Xun.

“It is like this, Mr. Xia Xun, I have seen that the vegetables you grow are of very high quality and full of vitality, so I would like to buy some from you.”

"Me too, I also hope to buy some vegetables," Youmu Konpaku hurriedly spoke up, as if afraid that there wouldn't be any left if she was late.

Buying groceries?

Xia Xun was taken aback when she heard this, and she immediately ran to the field to buy groceries.

Moreover, if Sunny and the others hadn't strangely slept in their own field, the newly planted vegetables wouldn't have ripened.

Xia Xun looked at the three little fairies who were still fast asleep in the field with a strange expression. Could they have been brought here last night by some voyeuristic Zi Ma?

Also, he inexplicably returned to bed from the courtyard last night; could it also be because of Zi Ma?

Yakumo Ran naturally noticed Xia Xun's gaze, and her pupils flickered for a moment.

I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my master's willfulness.

We'll offer a higher price as compensation later.

"Wait a moment, I'll wake the three kids up first, and then harvest the ripe vegetables." Xia Xun nodded, put away his fishing rod, and went to the field.

My gaze was fixed on the three adorable little fairies huddled together, fast asleep. In the morning light, their exposed bellies looked incredibly white, making me want to touch them.

With a magical touch, a drop of water appeared on Xia Xun's fingertip, and he smiled as he tapped it on the foreheads of the three little ones one by one.

"The sun is already high in the sky, time to get up."

"Yeah~"

"what!"

"Ugh~"

Three different adorable exclamations rang out. The sleepy little fairy opened her eyes and saw her smiling friend in front of her.

"Good morning, Xia Xun~" Sunny greeted Xia Xun with a sleepy smile and voice.

Beside them, Star and Luna, wearing nightcaps on their heads, also sat up, rubbing their eyes with their little hands and looking around blankly.

"Huh? Where is this?"

"Oh no! Oh no! Our home is gone!"

Seeing the three little demons who had woken up and finally realized something was wrong and became panicked, Xia Xun quickly reached out and grabbed one of them, suppressing them at lightning speed.

"Alright, alright, don't panic, this is my farm."

"You three little rascals, were you planning to play a prank again last night, and then accidentally fell asleep?" Xia Xun teased, his words calming the three panicked children down.

"Oh, I wasn't dreaming after all." Sunny blinked her big eyes in surprise, then looked at Xia Xun and chuckled, "I thought I was dreaming about you, Xia Xun."

"But did we plan to play a prank on Xia Xun's farm last night?" Sunny pondered, trying hard to recall.

Beside her, Star pointed her little finger at Xia Xun and complained, "It was Luna's suggestion. She said she wanted to play another prank on you, Xia Xun."

"Ugh~!" Luna froze, her face full of panic after being betrayed. "But Star and Sunny agreed too, and... and I just wanted to play with Xia Xun."

Xia Xun was delighted to hear this and couldn't help but reach out and gently rub the cute cheeks of the three little devils who were pointing at each other.

"Let's work together today."

On the edge of the field, Yakumo Ran and Youmu Konpaku watched this scene with some surprise.

They never expected that Xia Xun, a newcomer to Gensokyo, would have such a good relationship with the fairy.

Moreover, Xia Xun's interactions with the little fairy show that he is a very good person.

In an instant, Yakumo Ran felt even more guilty.

Lord Zi, how could you be so cruel, taking the fruits of such a good child's labor without paying him?

Seeing this, Youmu the Soul Peer also quietly shrank back. She was there last night too, and although she didn't do anything, her master ate it.

Xia Xun, who was in the field, had no idea of ​​the feelings of the two people on the ridge. After waking up the three little fairies, Xia Xun helped them tidy up their beds and then began to pick the ripe vegetables.

This time, unlike last time, the three little fairies wanted to play a prank, so the effective range of the fairy gifts overlapped.

The positions of the three fairies were personally arranged by Yukari Yakumo to ensure the maximum effect of the fairy gifts.

Centered on the little fairy, all 5x5 plots of land are ripe, meaning that 75 plots in Xia Xun's land are already ripe, which means that nearly a quarter of the crops have matured directly.

Furthermore, to ensure the diversity of vegetables, Yukari Yakumo thoughtfully included every type of crop.

Parsnip matures in 15 plots, potatoes in 10 plots, garlic in 2 plots, mung beans in 5 plots, strawberries in 20 plots, cucumbers in 10 plots, peanuts in 10 plots, and lettuce in 3 plots.

The fields, laden with all sorts of tender melons and fruits, are filled with the atmosphere of a bountiful harvest.

Xia Xun looked at all this and was deeply moved. She wished she could come again tomorrow.

Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the three little ones beside him. Just then, Luna opened her mouth to yawn, and when their eyes met, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Well, it seems that continuously accelerating the growth of plants is not an easy task for fairies either.

As expected, the fairy's gift could only be a gift, a token of her good fortune.

Chapter 46 We're rich now!

Before picking the fruits, Xia Xun carried his axe and turned into the nearby magic forest.

His upgraded body was indeed different; he could chop down a tree with almost no effort and collected fifty pieces of wood in less than thirty minutes.

Then, Xia Xun used the newly harvested wood to make a new wooden box.

There was no way to carry today's harvest in my backpack.

Summer then began to harvest.

The three little fairies, along with Yakumo Ran and Youmu Konpaku, gathered around and offered to help.

However, considering her farming experience, Xia Xun could only refuse their kindness, picking a few cucumbers and giving them to them before continuing her work.

Xia Xun stuffed all the items he was carrying into the wooden box. Whenever he passed by a ripe crop, the ripe melons and fruits would automatically fall into his bag with a gentle touch of his hand.

The Stardew Valley system makes farming a game.

It took Xia Xun a little over an hour to successfully complete the harvest. The land that was originally full of mature crops was now much vacant, with only cucumbers, strawberries and other multi-cropping crops remaining.

The backpack was also filled with a large amount of mature crops.

Fifteen pieces of parsnip yielded 90 common parsnip and 32 silver star parsnip.

Ten potatoes yielded 137 regular potatoes and 53 silver star potatoes.

Two cloves of garlic yielded 29 ordinary garlic sprouts and 6 silver-star garlic sprouts.

Five mung beans yielded 4 catties of ordinary mung beans and 1 catty of silver star mung beans.

Twenty dollars' worth of strawberries yielded 820 regular strawberries and 113 Silver Star strawberries.

Ten cucumbers yielded an average of 6 cucumbers per cucumber, totaling 163 regular cucumbers and 56 silver star cucumbers.

Ten peanuts yielded an average of 16 peanuts per peanut, for a total of 785 ordinary peanuts and 189 silver-star peanuts.

Three heads of lettuce yielded 19 regular lettuce heads and 5 silver romaine lettuce heads.

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much.

Seeing that Xia Xun had finally finished her work, Yakumo Ran and Youmu Konpaku stepped forward.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Xia Xun smiled, and then took out a portion of the harvested crops of different varieties and qualities as samples.

As the virtuous celestial fox lady who manages the Yakumo family kitchen and also feeds Yakumo Yukari and Akane, Ran Yakumo has excellent culinary skills and also regularly visits the human village's market to buy food.

Meanwhile, as the chef at last night's banquet, she also personally prepared and tasted the crops grown by Xia Xun.

But at this moment, looking at the freshly picked crops by Xia Xun, she was still surprised by the quality of the vegetables.

Ordinary quality crops are already the highest level in Gensokyo, while Silver Star quality crops contain spiritual energy and can be considered a kind of spiritual fruit.

Gensokyo isn't without things of the same or even higher quality, but those are rare and precious materials, while Xia Xun's are just vegetables and fruits.

After witnessing the quality of these vegetables, Youmu Konpaku felt a pang of pain in her heart and frantically calculated the future food budget for Hakugyoku-ro.

Lady Yuyuko already eats a lot, and now she's developed a liking for this quality of vegetables. She can already imagine how Hakugyokurou will go bankrupt from eating so much of it.

Waaaaah~

The transaction price was still based on the market price in the Human Village. However, Xia Xun originally planned to pay ten times the price of the Hieda family for the Silver Star quality, but Yakumo Ran insisted on paying twelve times the price.

She said it was a thank-you gift for the unexpected interruption this morning, and Xia Xun didn't insist. She just gave her a few more cucumbers and some strawberries as a return gift.

In fact, Yakumo Ran's price increase was an offense to her owner's behavior yesterday.

The two of them bought most of the harvested crops this morning, leaving only ordinary quality: 30 parsnip, 40 potatoes, 1 pound of mung beans, 10 garlic sprouts, 300 strawberries, 50 cucumbers, 200 peanuts, and 5 heads of lettuce.

Remaining silver star crops: 5 parsnip, 15 potatoes, 30 strawberries, 20 cucumbers, 50 peanuts, and 2 lettuce heads.

At the same time, Xia Xun's money also experienced its first major surge!
