Spring 18th of the first year

I woke up refreshed in my newly decorated bedroom in the morning.

I could faintly hear the sound of rain outside. I went out to check and, sure enough, it was raining.

Spring rain is extremely precious, meaning you can skip a day of watering when there are no sprinklers, catch a very valuable catfish, and there's an old sailor waiting on the beach to sell mermaid pendants... Although these things may not mean much to you, spring rain still brings joy to Stardew Valley players.

You walk up to the chicken coop, turn around and see Robin working hard in the fenced-off construction site next door. You feel relieved that you're not the only one getting rained on today, and then suddenly remember something—

Oh no, I forgot to build silos!

Animals only venture out to forage on sunny days; once it rains, they can only eat the hay stored in the silos! Even if you want to cut hay fresh, you can't. Stardew Valley has its own rules: without silos, you can't collect hay; without hay, your chickens, ducks, and rabbits will go hungry and be in a bad mood!

You stand dejectedly in front of the empty hay trough, and after a while, you remember that you can just ask Mingming to buy some hay. You quickly check the date—thank goodness, it's Thursday, and the ranch is open as usual.

Grab a coffee, then I need to rush off to buy some hay!

Mingming was quite annoyed by your visit. After all, you had already gotten a lot of good things for free under the guise of buying animals, without giving her a single penny of commission. And today, you even came in with wet shoes in the rain.

But business is business, and you can't turn it down. You bought 999 haystacks at once before she reluctantly forgave you for coming in without drying your feet.

Back at the farm, you quickly put a whole row of hay on the chickens, ducks, and rabbits in the coop, feeling a little annoyed that you didn't buy a few more rabbits earlier. After all, petting one or a whole bunch of them is the same (the forgetful player has completely forgotten about the rabbit-raising plan, even though the mascot plush rabbit is still placed by the door).

Now that you're back, you have other things to do, like fishing.

Three types of fish that only appear on rainy days—catfish, herring, and eel—are essential to catch during the sacrificial ceremony.

On your way to fishing, you pass a bus stop and are surprised to find that Shen'er has already started working?!

[I've never been this dedicated in my entire life, braving the rain to go to work for a mere 500 yuan that I might not even earn.]

[The ticket isn't for the driver, is it? He's probably on a fixed salary... and he doesn't skip work?!]

Today seems to be someone's birthday.

On his birthday, an unemployed middle-aged man in Pelican Town received the best birthday gift—a new job!

[Hilarious! Shen'er's dad is saying, "You're the one who's giving me trouble?"]

From sleeping until noon every day, going to the supermarket, and then drinking heavily, to braving the rain to wait for work at the bus station, it's miserable, absolutely miserable!

You cautiously approached Shen'er, who was wearing a sour face, to present him with his birthday present. Unsurprisingly, he was completely unaware that it was his birthday. He took the beer and grumbled as he drank, "That brat in overalls showed up before dawn, saying the bus was fixed and he wanted me to be his driver... Anyone who wants to go to the desert can run there themselves. What good is that little bit of money... Thanks for the beer, but standing here like an idiot is really infuriating."

You dared not admit that it was you who got Zhu Nimo to fix the bus, forcing unemployed people to find new jobs, so you laughed it off and tried to change the subject: "Haha, really? Well, since we're already here, if standing here is boring, why don't I be the first passenger..."

Shen Er stared at you for a few seconds, then sneered, as if he had already seen through you and realized that you were the one who made him lose his job.

However, the game's rules cannot be defied. Once you complete your ticket purchase at the ticket machine, you can only board the bus and become its driver.

How to describe Tianyu Tyrant's driving skills? Wild, only wild can describe it! You seriously suspect that he has never taken a driving test and is completely indifferent to traffic safety. He just floores the gas pedal and rushes forward, causing you, the unlucky first passenger, to be tumbled and slammed against the car wall. When you got out of the car, you were "sucked" to the door. Otherwise, it might have taken you 10 minutes to climb out of the car.

You walk into the desert in a daze until you find two coconuts on the ground, which snaps you out of your daze. You reach out and pick them up and put them in your backpack.

As you walk into the center of the magic circle, searching through the colorful fragments, you're still wondering: Why are coconut trees growing in the desert, and why are there coconuts everywhere? Where did the young coconuts go?

The colorful fragments changed shape under the influence of a mysterious force. A deep blue starry sky appeared before you, with countless stars gathering into a falling longsword.

The system has notified you that you have found the top-tier magical artifact, the Galaxy Sword.

You: "...So that rusty sword from before was really just an ordinary sword?"

[Not necessarily, it might be too weak for an ordinary person to detect anything unusual.]

[Perhaps the Cursed Blade sounds too powerful, and its actual damage output doesn't match the Rusty Sword.]

[It's a cursed tool, so it can attack automatically, which makes perfect sense.]

Logically, having obtained this divine weapon, you should be eager to go mining and try it out, but you have absolutely no such urge right now. Fishing is definitely safer and more fun than mining, so when you return to Stardew Valley, you head straight to the river, cast your line, and pull it up!

A miracle has happened! As a fisherman who's always been a bit unlucky, you caught a catfish on your very first cast today!

You hold up this catfish, which is bigger than your face but unusually lazy and easy to catch, and look at it with great interest for a while before finally putting it in your backpack and casting the hook again.

The second fish, herring!

[Suddenly became lucky?]

It's a bit strange to see Rabbit's feet suddenly so lucky!

[Could the Galaxy Sword bring good luck? That doesn't make sense. Why do I keep getting Galaxy Swords when I go mining?]

[You're so unlucky!]

Our suggestion is to reopen it.

You finished your catch with two casts with unusual ease, leaving you a little dazed. You were even more dazed when you caught the eel you needed on your third cast at the beach. Although you talk about metaphysics and pray for good luck every day, you are actually a little unaccustomed to being this lucky.

Never mind, good luck is a good thing, I should go to the bar for a drink.

Even if you have 900+ beers in your backpack, you still need to go to a bar to really celebrate!

The farmer, in a good mood, opened the menu Guts had prepared, intending to buy himself something to eat... Haha, this crispy sea bass looks delicious, and it even adds 64 points of magnetism, making it even more powerful than the miner's special!

It's a pity it's limited to one item per order, otherwise I would definitely buy it again for 999.

You enjoyed a delicious crispy sea bass and a beer, then decided not to waste the dish's magnetic buff. It was a bit late to go mining in the mountains, but the combination of super bombs and strong magnetism was just as effective at clearing the farm, so after delivering the offerings, you hurried back to the farm and started blasting trees in the dark.

Today was definitely the noisiest day at Grandpa's grave. You placed several super bombs near his tombstone, and for a while, the sounds of trees breaking and wood being absorbed were incessant, even more lively than during the Lunar New Year.

Super bombs can clear several trees at once, but a single tree needs to be bombed several times to be completely decomposed into wood, so you need to use a lot of them. The explosions will illuminate the farm as brightly as day.

Without pain, we lose our reverence for the passing of life.

So 20 minutes later, you appear at the bedside of a patient at the community clinic, bleeding profusely, and hear the concerned question from Dr. Dog Roll: "Big Mustard?"

With a serious expression, he instructed, "Pickled sorghum, kelp."

You don't quite understand the rice ball language, but you still politely thank the dog roll doctor who is working overtime late at night to perform surgery and then leave the clinic.

The distraught farmer, having lost four items, strode into the still-open Star Fruit Bar, his body still gushing blood like a leaky showerhead. He bought a new set of coffee from the dumbfounded Guts, then hurried back to his farm to continue his tree-blasting spree.

Such a mistake naturally drew merciless ridicule from the viewers in the live stream.

[Hahahaha, blowing yourself up by blasting trees on your own farm, is that even possible?!]

[Tree: There's a fool here who wants to take us all down with him]

[Having lost 360,000 gold, Malone... oh no, this is Kamo-kun, tearfully making a fortune off the farmer]

[Truly a powerful boost to Stardew Valley's economy]

Timber, coffee, coal, and miner's special supplies are all available for purchase. It's a good thing I didn't blow up the Galaxy Sword I just got!

[It seems like Rabbit's Foot isn't planning on retrieving the lost item; they need to restock immediately!]

[Stubborn.jpg]

...

You decide to practice your bomb-planting skills, otherwise you might blow yourself into the clinic due to the limited space when you enter the mine... Although the result is the same—going to the clinic and losing things—the things you lose might not be easily obtainable items like coffee or coal.

Before I knew it, it was 2:00 am.

Because your health was replenished in time, you weren't taken to the clinic this time; instead, you simply fell into a deep sleep at the appointed time.
