You are a game streamer, a slightly famous cyber-farmer. Every day, you stream Stardew Valley, attracting viewers with various MODs—like SVE plus Ridgeside Village, the Seven Sins mod, and the Vall...
Spring 25th of the first year
Let's start with the conclusion.
33 crystal spheres yielded several gold, copper, iron, carbon, and even iridium ores, but no tear crystals, and only 3 new collectibles were found.
You casually sell the odds and ends you find at the blacksmith shop in the HDB flat, and give away the things you can't sell as gifts, not caring whether the person likes them or not, and then walk out of the blacksmith shop.
I feel like this event is really unlucky; I might not even be able to finish the sacrifices in the first year... No way!
You walk into the museum with a sigh, and after donating your only collection, you ask Moth of the Night what exactly happened yesterday.
Night Moth's expression turned solemn as he said seriously, "That guy in the Mage Tower seems interested in these curses that are closely related to you, so he gathered them together with a magic circle. But not long ago, he suddenly informed Youyou that he wanted to release them at the Flower Dance Festival. I wonder what his purpose is."
You're a little embarrassed: "Maybe there wasn't any particular purpose, it's just... I found it's not very useful and it's quite noisy, so I'm just throwing it out here and asking everyone to help me deal with it?"
Night Moth snorted and instructed, "In short, you must cultivate diligently, remain vigilant, and do not give him any opportunity to take advantage."
You didn't want to respond to him, just stared at the floor and muttered, "He's basically a monkey, why does he need to cultivate himself into the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"
Hilarious! They have no desire to be sorcerers. Even mobile games that rely on spellcasting are only good for watching the story unfold; they expect loyal players of farming games to deal with those old monsters…
I'm hitting my head with a brain, is that for real?.jpg
The moth was staring at you with a look of utter disappointment.
But you remain unmoved, keeping your distance from things that are beyond your capabilities.
You're just a farmer, at most helping your neighbors with small chores, like today, when you went back specifically to get a gold ingot for Jody—she posted a request saying she wanted a gold ingot to put on the bookshelf.
I don't understand, but I respect it.
Before delivering the gold ingots, take a casual conversation; Jody tells you that this is the first time she has met a farmer.
Come to think of it, it seems like Grandpa hasn't been back to Stardew Valley for years; Jody doesn't even recognize him.
[So, is it possible that Kent was the original inhabitant, and Jody came later after marrying into the local community?]
I think it's more like Jody inherited her parents' house and lived in Stardew Valley with her two sons after her husband passed away.
While the live streamers were seriously discussing Jody's background, you just wanted to keep an eye on her every move and figure out what she could possibly do with such a large piece of gold.
Jody took the gold ingot, which vanished from her hand in an instant. At the same time, the sounds of breaking wooden planks and falling books and other miscellaneous items came from Gojo Satoru's room.
“Compared to his skateboarding magazines, cookbooks are more suitable for boys who will become stay-at-home dads in the future, right?” Jody said calmly, but a closer look revealed a chilling madness in her eyes.
The audience clearly saw it better than you; after a few seconds of silence, they began to shout:
[What does this mean? She's already prepared to give her son to the farm owner as a live-in son-in-law?] — This is before the situation is even clear.
[A chilling thought] – This is when you realize something is wrong.
[The wife with the dangerous hairstyle became extremely dangerous.]
[I was so scared when the channel suddenly changed]
Don't be afraid, kids, Wu can handle it!
Has Rabbit's Foot started a side quest?
[I only care whether she borrowed a pitchfork from the ranch next door. If she didn't have a pitchfork, the streamer can still run away now.]
You subconsciously said, "Oh right, I still have to go mining, so I'll be going now."
Don't go, comfort her first.
[If you leave now, it'll be a hunting ground, with people chasing after you with axes.]
Where's the slingshot? Get the slingshot now!
Of course, he didn't bring a slingshot. Completely oblivious to the horrifying CG images netizens saw, he rejected the honest villagers of Dihua, unhesitatingly pulled out a triple-strength coffee, drank it all, and then turned and ran into the mountains.
Let Robin continue repairing your barn first, then go down into the mine. Everyday life in Stardew Valley is made up of countless details. Robin looks beautiful today.
Perhaps it's the blessing of helping your neighbors, but your luck starts to improve. You find tear crystals in less than an hour in the mine, enough to complete a new offering package.
May all the little demons jump and dance around you with joy.
“This house has been empty for many years... The trees have taken root in it, and so have we.”
You bend down to try and touch the little gray apple that ran past you and was attaching stars to the wall, only to find that you can't feel anything, like a 2D image that's not on the same layer.
The sorcerer said that drinking that horrible, green medicinal soup would allow one to understand the language of the Junimo, but you never truly interacted with them, so you have no way of knowing what these little guys really felt about the old community center, or whether they later moved into the Junimo's house on the farm to work as helpers voluntarily or were captured by the sorcerer...
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. Perhaps the true protagonist, with his full marks of courage and initiative, can figure out the bond between this town and Zhunimo, while you are just an ordinary person who wants to return home safely.
You absentmindedly walked out of the old community center and ran into Kugizaki Nobara, who was on her way home. You casually took out a bottle of energy tonic and handed it to her.
You can't remember her preferences, but you know this is the clinic's signature product, so Nurse Kugizaki must be very touched to receive it.
On the contrary.
Kugizaki Nobara rolled her eyes in disgust: "Pah, do you think I'd like this?"
Ever since Dog-Roll Thorn discovered that this small bottle of water is incredibly effective at soothing the throat and is inexhaustible, she's even used it to make her morning coffee. Meanwhile, Nagi-Saki Wild Rose, when thirsty during her shifts, has had to drink this energy tonic water like a bottled drink—she's so tired of it!!!
You snapped back to reality in a second, realizing, "Oh no! Giving someone a gift they hate will lower their favorability!"
Watching Kugizaki Nobara stride away with her head held high, you deeply regret your actions and realize that in the future, it would be safer to just bring her coffee or something similar. However, to make up for today's mistake, it's necessary to consult the Wikipedia of netizens to find out what her favorite things are!
Strawberries, gold ingots, cauliflower—that's all I can remember. You have all of them at home, but you insisted on giving me things I hate.
If only I had thought more carefully when I went back to get the gold ingots for Jody...
Maru, nobody cares, he's doomed.
Even Lia is popular because some people use her as Robin's substitute, but Maru is being dragged down by her own father because nine out of ten characters don't even know her.
[Lia's actions matter too; can't those who promote meal replacements please stop making a scene? Painful mask.]
[No meal replacements! Our Leah Baby has her own unique charm!]
[I've wanted to say this for a while now, the streamer is so casual with the gifts. This time, he even used energy tonic water to lower his favorability rating. He's such a spendthrift!]
[Giving a gift you disliked -40 points. It took up a gift slot without being given to your favorite character, resulting in a loss of 120 affection points this week. He didn't even talk to anyone! That's a loss of 140 affection points!]
[It's not just 140; if I were to calculate that, I wouldn't be sleepy anymore. When giving gifts, quality is key; Iridium-enhanced cauliflower has a 1.5 favorability factor!]
[Hey, it's okay, Rabbit Foot. At least it's not her birthday today. Sending trash on her birthday would cost her 320, that would be a huge loss, tsk tsk tsk.]
Iridium Star - Wants to collect enough items to take home - Lazy - Remembers other people's preferences by cheating by labeling them on the computer - Rabbit Feet: "...I know I was wrong. Tomorrow I'll try to give everyone their favorite item, okay?"
Really? I don't believe it.
[Friendly reminder: Tomorrow is Pierre's birthday. Pierre's only love is fried squid, but you, my friend, can't make it, hahaha!]
[Slapped in the face so quickly, is that even possible?]
[The recipe is secondary; the main issue is that the squid is a winter-only fish. This means that before some kind player builds a squid pond, even living in Stardew Valley, a paradise where you can catch fresh seafood just by casting a line from the shore, Old Pi can only eat the same frozen squid as us city dwellers for his birthday!]
【It's different. The squid we eat is zombie squid, while Old Pi's squid was only frozen for a mere twenty-odd days】
[Tears welled up in my eyes. Why can't life be like Stardew Valley?]
Life is truly like yours in Stardew Valley: "...I can go farm some rainbow shards, and rabbit feet are the villagers' favorite gift. What if my rabbits want to wish Pierre a happy birthday tomorrow?"
