A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

He glanced back at the figure under the shade of the tree, engrossed in reading, and then rubbed his flushed cheeks.

Oh no, I just woke up from Reimu's lap pillow and was accidentally bewitched by her. I couldn't resist trying something a little too boldly.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't respond.

That's normal. That's Reimu Hakurei. How could she succeed after knowing her for such a short time?

Sure enough, I still need to keep working hard.

The most important thing is to run Stardew Valley Farm well first, because a solid economic foundation is the basis for all good things in life.

Reimu is greedy? Actually, he himself is the more greedy one.

Regaining her composure, Xia Xun channeled her inner magic once more and began to cast a rain spell.

This time, he could clearly feel that his control over the spells was smoother and his energy consumption was significantly reduced.

However, Xia Xun dared not push her limits again.

Whenever he senses that his mental and magical power is approaching the warning line, he will stop to rest and wait for Reimu Hakurei to help him recover before continuing.

And so it goes: irrigate, rest, then irrigate again.

As time went by, the irrigation of the total fifteen acres of land was finally completed.

"It's morning."

In the early morning, Xia Xun lay on the bed, rubbing her eyes, not wanting to move at all.

Although he was in excellent physical condition after a night's rest and the full recovery effect brought by the upgrade of his gathering skills, he felt extremely tired mentally and just wanted to stay in bed and take a nap.

Fortunately, working at the Stardew Valley farm meant he was his own boss. If he had to work for someone else, he would have run away long ago.

The gathering skill level has increased by two levels, silently telling the story of yesterday's hard work.

The scarecrow needs two thousand pieces of wood? He wouldn't be able to gather them even if he worked himself to death, not to mention the planting and irrigation work on fifteen acres of land yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, by the time all the land had been watered, it was nearly four o'clock.

After some thought, Xia Xun decided to use the amount of fiber she already had as a basis to make twelve scarecrows first.

For the farmland where he placed the scarecrow, he prioritized crop areas such as soybeans, peanuts, and mung beans, which are easily pecked by birds.

After the plan was set, Xia Xun took his axe and entered the outer perimeter of the magic forest. He began to work hard along the edge of his farm, clearing out a large area of ​​woodland in one go.

In this way, when they have money in the future, they will have land to build houses.

The only drawback is that this place is located inside the Enchanted Forest and is not protected by the rules of the Human Realm.

But precisely because of this, as long as Xia Xun is strong enough, the land he develops will belong entirely to him.

Xia Xun was so busy last night that she almost fell asleep immediately.

On the way back, he was completely too weak to move, and in the end, Reimu Hakurei carried him and flew him home.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Xia Xun responded, lying on the bed and looking up at the door.

Then, Reimu Hakurei, with faint dark circles under her eyes, pushed open the door and walked in, staring at Natsumi, who was still lingering in bed, with her eyes that revealed a hint of murderous intent.

"Hehe, Reimu, you're really dedicated..."

Xia Xun chuckled twice and shrank his neck.

"Yesterday's wages, late-night snack money, and overtime pay."

Reimu Hakurei stretched out her palm, expressionless, demanding the slush fee she was entitled to.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun broke out in a cold sweat; he didn't have a single penny on him.

When paying for the seeds yesterday, Morichika Rinnosuke saw that Natsumi had taken out all his money. Worried about his future, he asked him to leave 1,000 mon for daily expenses.

But having already incurred such a huge debt of gratitude, Xia Xun felt too embarrassed to accept another favor. Besides, with his fishing skills, how could he possibly starve to death?

Therefore, Xia Xun, with the demeanor of a strongman, only accepted five hundred coins, after all, he still needed to buy coal from the blacksmith's shop.

Now is the time for him to pay the price for this strong demeanor.

"Boom! Doni's Secret Marseille—!"

Xia Xun apologized loudly, and then, under the gaze of Hakurei Reimu as if she were looking at an insect, she quickly got up and rushed forward to fawn over her.

He massaged her legs and pounded her thighs, his face beaming with smiles, begging the greedy shrine maiden for a few more days' grace.

Reimu Hakurei, who was initially furious because Xia Xun hadn't taken care of her health last night, said strange things that caused her to have insomnia and stay up all night, and more importantly, hadn't received the wages she was owed, gradually lost her anger under Xia Xun's care and even experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Damn, this feeling is addictive.

Reimu Hakurei sat on the summer bed, looking down at her boss who was massaging her legs, and said with a raised chin, "Go make me breakfast. Make sure it's plentiful and delicious, and I'll forgive you."

"Yes! Lady Reimu—!"

Xia Xun nodded quickly, got up and ran to make breakfast.

Although all the vegetables and fish she had harvested were gone, thankfully she still had the supplies that Hieda Akio had provided.

Akyu, from this day forward I will pledge my allegiance to you!

Xia Xun hummed a lighthearted tune, snapped her fingers, and used the flames from her fingertips to light the stove fire, starting to cook white porridge.

The first batch of crops has been planted, and he can finally relax a little.

The stove crackled and popped, and the white rice porridge bubbled and bubbled in the pot, emitting a faint aroma of rice.

Half an hour later, the porridge was ready. Xia Xun ladled out two bowls and carried them to the courtyard.

Reimu Hakurei was slumped on the table, looking as if she had been dead for a while.

But upon smelling the aroma of the rice porridge, the deceased witch miraculously came back to life, pounced on a bowl like a hungry tiger, and ate it down in a gulp.

"Be careful, it's hot," Xia Xun warned, then sat down beside her and picked up her bowl to drink the porridge.

The two finished their breakfast quietly and then leisurely went out in the morning light.

There's not much to do today. I'll go to the farm to check the crops, pick ripe cucumbers, and then prepare the necessary catch for Okunoda Miyo.

"Huh, why is the street so lively today?" Xia Xun asked Hakurei Reimu curiously, looking around at the village, which was noticeably busier than usual.

"Huh? Didn't I already invite you?" Reimu Hakurei said in surprise. "The festival is tomorrow, so of course everyone needs to prepare in advance."

Xia Xun was speechless for a moment, staring at the bewildered shrine maiden in front of her, and raised her hand to rub her forehead: "So, the cherry blossom festival is not only a festival of the shrine, but also a festival of the entire village?"

“Yes, the official name of the spring festival is ‘Reitaisai,’ a grand festival passed down through generations in Gensokyo.” Reimu Hakurei explained, then added, “Didn’t I tell you?”

"I never said that!" Xia Xun couldn't help but complain. "Then what about this cherry blossom festival you mentioned?"

"Because during each festival, the youkai come to the shrine at night to hold cherry blossom viewing activities, so I call it the Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival." Reimu Hakurei shrugged, looking completely innocent.

Xia Xun sighed helplessly. This shameless witch.

However, seeing the villagers busily preparing for the festival early in the morning, and the vibrant atmosphere of life around them, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel excited.

What will the festival be like?

By the way, Alice and Fujiwara no Mokou can be invited to this festival; they are his saviors.

Filled with anticipation, Xia Xun brought Reimu Hakurei to Stardew Valley Farm.

Overnight, the once barren land was now covered with lush green shoots, their leaves glistening with morning dew, teeming with life.

Seeing this, Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but open her mouth slightly: "Amazing, they all sprouted overnight."

"Hmph, of course." Xia Xun smiled proudly. "This is my Stardew Valley Farm. These high-quality crops are not something that ordinary people can grow."

After speaking, Xia Xun went to check the seeds that had been sown yesterday. The plan was successful; the seeds had not been stolen by birds.

"Wait a moment, I'll go harvest the cucumbers that ripened today." With a sigh of relief, Xia Xun returned to Farm Zone 1.

I stopped in front of the cucumber trellis. Yesterday, the cucumbers were just tender little ones, but today they are fully ripe.

He reached out and began picking them one by one, eventually harvesting 167 ordinary cucumbers and 58 silver star cucumbers.

"Here, have a taste." Xia Xun tossed a silver star cucumber to Hakurei Reimu and popped one into her own mouth as well.

After many days, Xia Xun was deeply moved to finally eat the cucumbers she had grown herself.

He regretted his impulsive act while drunk, which had left him, a dignified farmer, unable to even enjoy a bite of his own harvest. Waaaaah!

Reimu Hakurei took a bite of the cucumber Xia Xun gave her, and then started munching away, her cheeks puffing out like a little squirrel. At the same time, she stretched her hand out to Xia Xun, asking for a new cucumber.

What a glutton...

Xia Xun smiled and placed a fresh cucumber in her hand, and the two of them walked towards Liu Zhiyou.

Upon reaching the riverbank, Xia Xun took out a wooden box from his backpack and placed it there. He then took out two iron ingots and combined them to create the spiral bait that he had unlocked during his previous fishing upgrade.

This is a fishing tackle that can speed up the catch rate; in the game, only high-level fishing rods can equip it.

But after careful examination, Xia Xun realized that it was just a fishhook! Why not just make one and replace the old one?

So, he decided to test the effect today.

The morning's experiment was a great success.

In the same amount of time, the catch increased by nearly 20 percent compared to before.

A total of 19 common fish and 31 silver starfish were obtained.

Not only has Miyo Okunoda obtained most of the silver star quality fish she needed, but most importantly, Natsumi's economic crisis has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

After grilling two fish for Reimu Hakurei for lunch, Natsumi continued her work.

Finally, around 3 p.m., they successfully caught a total of 52 silver star fish.

She perfectly fulfilled her promise to Okunoda Miyo.

Chapter Seventy-Two is Alice's Sense!

Deep within the magic forest.

In the flower-filled courtyard, Alice sat at a small round table covered with a clean white tablecloth, holding a heavy magic book in one hand and gently holding the handle of a porcelain cup in the other, sipping fragrant black tea.

In the nearby flowerbeds, Sunny, Luna, and Star were playing and frolicking with the Shanghai dolls, chasing a glowing butterfly, and searching for dewdrops among the flower stamens, injecting a touch of vibrant noise into the quiet courtyard.

"Alice, we have a guest."

The Polai doll standing beside Alice took flight and whispered softly in Alice's ear.

Alice looked up from between the pages of the book, her blue eyes gazing at the sky above the courtyard.

Two figures descended from the gaps in the forest; it was Xia Xun and Bo Li Ling Meng.

What's going on between Xia Xun and Ling Meng?

A hint of curiosity flickered in Alice's eyes, but she maintained her girlish elegance, putting down her book and rising to greet the two.

"Xia Xun is here~!"

Sunny, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot the visitors. She immediately cheered and leaped up from the flowerbed, flying towards Xia Xun like a tiny shooting star, with Star and Luna close behind.

As Xia Xun landed from the sky, he saw three adorable little fairy friends rushing towards him, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Sunny, Luna, Star, good afternoon!" Xia Xun opened her arms, letting the little fairies affectionately stick close to her.

Sunny and Luna occupied his shoulders on either side, while Starr landed lightly on his head, her tiny fingers tugging at a strand of his black hair for balance.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Xun was covered in adorable little sprites, who huddled close to him, chattering about the interesting things that had happened to him in the past few days.

"Ugh, what's going on?" Reimu Hakurei blinked in surprise.

She simply turned around, and when she turned back, Xia Xun was already covered in these little sprites.

This guy is actually quite popular with the fairies?
