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 3rd of the first year
You wake up to find yourself suddenly realizing that you forgot something yesterday.
Buy a training fishing rod.
It's not that the fishing rod Willie gave you is unusable; the up-and-down movement of the rod to advance the fishing progress bar is very convenient, and even a nerdy person like you who doesn't have many opportunities to practice fishing can easily get the hang of it. It's just that this kind of lowest-level fishing rod has too little potential, so if you have extra money, it's better to get a different one.
That said, the sudden shattering of the dimensional barrier will actually make you feel unfamiliar with a lot of game knowledge, and you won't be able to react correctly when you need to call it up, which is not a good sign.
You stand in front of the TV and silently go over what you need to do today. Besides fishing, you also need to find Robin to fix the chicken coop and get to know Robin's family.
You hear the sound of rain outside, which means you don't need to water the crops today and can have a whole day to complete the three things you just planned.
I rushed into Willie's shop, bought a fishing rod, and then casually bought two large fish tanks, thinking that when I was contemplating life in the future, I could pretend to be watching fish so that I wouldn't seem so dull.
The live stream has been going on non-stop, exposing your every word and action to strangers online. The inability to end the stream has transformed it from your job into your life, forcing you to consider many more things.
The large backpack seemed quite spacious in the early stages, before you even started mining and when your levels were all low. Since you couldn't feel the weight anyway, you might as well take the two fish tanks with you when you visited Robin's family who lived in the mountains.
[Robin is still so handsome, and the black guy... Wait, could this black guy be Xia Youjie's "family member"?]
[If you can change husbands, why can't you change them to me? (speaking in the voice of a traitor)]
[Blind guess: Sebastian will be replaced by Xia Youjie]
[I checked for the anchor; Maru will be standing at her doorstep at 12:50.]
Sebastian has two random tour options when it rains; I wonder which one he'll choose?
You directly purchased 150 pieces of wood and 100 stones from Robin to build a chicken coop, a truly extravagant act that early-game players wouldn't even dare to dream of.
After giving Robin the gift, you approach Miguel, who doesn't quite fit the image of a scientist, think for a few seconds, and hand him a cup of coffee.
“Thank you, this specimen is very interesting.” Miguel’s thanks were conventional, showing no characteristics that distinguished him from the villagers. If it weren’t for his two large gold earrings and sunglasses, he would almost look like Demetrius himself.
Is it because it doesn't have much presence in the story?
You shook hands with him, puzzled, and then waited for Maru to come out of the room.
[How boring, why doesn't the streamer adjust the zoom level? I can't even see Maru in the room.]
[If you're too lazy to adjust it, just take a few steps and we'll check it for you.]
"No way!" you instinctively refused, then offered a rather weak explanation: "Well, even cyber life forms have the right to privacy."
What if they also traveled to Stardew Valley? How could you peek into a girl's bedroom!
What the hell?
[Alright, alright, let's respect other people's anime waifus and keep guessing.]
【Three-tiered sunset!】
[Since she's a scientist's daughter, I think it might be Hanamichi.]
[Hey, hey, hey, that's not even human anymore, I bet it's the secretary.]
If you don't like Maru, then guess Tsukuyomi.
[Damn! Yuki Tsukumo has fans too, what do you mean by that?!]
Those who don't understand the charm of a stunningly beautiful woman are in trouble! They have no taste.
[Those who wrote this should not start a fight.]
With a "click," the girl who walked out of the bedroom door was—Nobara Kugizaki!
"Oh, you must be the one from the big city!" Kugizaki Nobara exclaimed excitedly upon seeing you, "I've been looking forward to meeting you!"
You paused for a moment, unsure how to respond, but then suddenly realized that the reason this character joined the vocational college seemed to be related to a girl who moved from the city to the countryside.
The town in Stardew Valley may seem peaceful, but it's actually a closed-off place filled with desolation and decay. Various public facilities are broken and left unrepaired. The hypocritical and selfish Mayor Lewis and the cunning Pierre control the town's economy, while Pam and Shane drink heavily every day...
The arrival of players will undoubtedly revitalize Pelican Town, but before that, what kind of life will Kugizaki Noboru lead in the mountains? It must be boring and tedious, after all, this girl is already tired of the village she came from, and she longs for the hustle and bustle of the big city.
"Ha, what kind of look is that... My name is Kugizaki Nobara." Kugizaki Nobara felt uneasy under your gaze and almost forgot to say the key word.
"Sorry, I was just wondering if you'd get bored in Pelican Town..." you try to salvage the situation: "I'm planning to build a movie theater in town."
Although it might not be built until next year (you haven't decided whether to go for the Joja style yet), it's not exactly a lie, since there really will be movie theaters in the future.
Kugizaki Nobara didn't seem very satisfied. She probably thought you were a fool. After accepting the gift, she left without hesitation.
[2333 The streamer is so lame]
[Rabbit's Foot is still so bad at chatting with girls. It reminds me of the last time he played online with Luna...]
[Oh, that was so embarrassing, I got teary-eyed halfway through watching it.]
[What are you all saying? Isn't this just a pre-arranged conversation? What does it have to do with Rabbit's inability to flirt?]
You watched Kugizaki Nobara leave, and waited for a while before finally hearing the basement door open and a thin figure slowly emerge.
"Oh, you just moved in, right?" Xia Youjie looked rather listless, and his tone wasn't very friendly. "Of all the places you had, why did you choose Pelican Town?"
【Oh, it's Kushajie!】
[Help! I already know these people's timelines are messed up, but why did they have to be so unlucky?!]
If only it had been a little earlier or a little later...
[If you're too late, you'll become a cult leader like Jay, and you'll be eliminated like a monkey.]
Isn't DK Jay good enough?
I think it was to replace Sebastian.
Sebastian says he won't take the blame.
[The cult leader is great, isn't he? A farmer who's richer than a country can generate unlimited amounts of gold coins, squeak squeak!]
Seeing that everyone in the live stream was rambling on and on, before Xia Youjie could get impatient, you quickly took out a cup of coffee from your backpack and handed it to him, then stepped aside to make way for him.
Xia Youjie ignored you and slowly walked out of the cabin with his coffee in his hand.
You wiped away non-existent cold sweat, muttering to yourself, whether as an explanation or simply to yourself: "Okay, that's enough for today. Time to go back to sleep."
[They didn't even work until 1:50 pm during the initial development period!]
Have you forgotten that you haven't gone fishing yet?
After being reminded by someone, you reluctantly stood by the lake in front of the mine and started fishing in the rain.
This kind of rain won't get you wet. It's amazing how it disappears automatically just before it touches your hair, as if you've also mastered a magic spell with no limits.
But you still felt uncomfortable, all wet and sticky, so you only fished a few fish half-heartedly, and went home as soon as it got dark, putting the two large fish tanks you bought from Willie in the morning into your room.
Then, to your amusement and dismay, you discover that the two fish tanks are a little different in size than you imagined—to be precise, your room is too small to be placed side by side against the wall as you had planned.
The green grid representing where furniture can be placed changes depending on your ideas, and eventually you have to admit that you can only properly place the two fish tanks by staggering them one in front of the other.
After these two fish tanks were placed, your table and fireplace were blocked, making the already small room even more cramped.
You remained silent.
On one side is a fireplace and chairs, on the other a large fish tank. After a moment's consideration, you couldn't resist the urge to throw the fish you caught into the tank to see how it went.
Hey, not bad, it's swimming around and blowing bubbles. It probably doesn't need any care. This must be the most worry-free pet in the world, right?
"Looks like Robin won't be getting a break this year. First, build the chicken coop to its maximum size, then the livestock shed, and finally my house..." You introduce your upcoming farm-building plan—or rather, your plan for Robin to build the farm—to the viewers in the live stream: "We need to save up some hardwood. We'll go chop it up after we upgrade the axe, okay?"
You selectively replied to some comments: "Joja or sacrifice? I prefer sacrifice. It would create another community center for everyone to connect, and I hope Nimo can go home too."
Another advantage is that Nanamin can retire early.
[Yes, if we choose to sacrifice, Joja Supermarket in Pelican Town will go out of business!]
[What are you thinking? He's still staying with Mingming. If he doesn't go to work, he has to focus on breeding. Are you sure Nanami would like raising chickens?]
[Probably, that's Xie En's counterpart; Xie En would practically marry a chicken.]
“I’ll find an opportunity to ask him for his opinion on this matter,” you said, feeling that this was indeed an important factor in choosing between the sacrifice or the Joja style. “There’s also Gojo Satoru, who also works at the Joja supermarket. According to the original setting, he went to work at a museum after Joja went bankrupt, so we must ask for their opinions in advance.”
"We can prepare a sacrifice first. If they still want to work in the supermarket, it won't be difficult to switch back to the Joja style immediately."
The sacrificial path can only begin on the 5th of spring; before that, you can cut down some hardwood and store it.
You feel like you haven't done much all day, but it's already 1:50 a.m. Luckily, you're already in the cabin, ready to sleep and save your game at any time.
"Goodnight everyone!" In truth, you don't know if you'll be going offline, so you just casually say goodnight before saving your stream, so that people won't find it strange if you suddenly go offline.
