Where did this black serf come from in Stardew Valley?
"Sun'er, make me a bait-making machine."
"What do you mean you haven't gotten the technology yet? Isn't this something you can get at fishing level six? What level are you now? Level three—are you even doing your job properly! Go fishing!"
"Don't go to the beach. Why go to the beach in spring? The lake next to the carpenter's house is where you can maximize your profits. Go to the beach after six o'clock, and pick up some coral and stuff while you're at it—oh, and sea urchins too. For bait, you need three iron ingots, three pieces of coral, and three sea urchins."
"Look at your shabby appearance, you're definitely out of iron ingots—the mine hasn't even reached the iron ore layer yet? That's way too slow."
"Little Ma, take my manuscript to mine, then take your manuscript to the blacksmith to upgrade it."
"Try your best and get me a fish-smoking machine in three days!!"
"Also, Easter is coming soon, buy some Cao Mei seeds! You guys aren't making enough money!"
—It's obvious that a capitalist has arrived.
"...Yes, yes, yes."
"Okay, Senior Lu, I understand, Senior Lu."
Neither Zhao Xun nor Ma Jiaojiao were skilled farmers.
Although I had played through the single-player mode once before, I only learned about the mechanics and didn't specifically look up any guides.
This online save file was only recently opened, and it's still early spring.
The young couple wasn't in a hurry.
Before Lu Yibei arrived, they were leisurely planting the most basic windbreak grass while planning – “We’ll use this land for farming, and that land will be used for grazing sheep.”
It highlights the idyllic rural life of picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and leisurely gazing at the southern mountains.
Neither of them had any need for the fastest completion of all achievements or 100% progress.
I just want to take it slow.
But Lu Yibei is different; he has spent nearly 400 hours farming in Stardew Valley.
He knew exactly how to start the game and what to do most efficiently afterward—it wasn't that he forced himself to pursue the most efficient approach, but rather that the most efficient method was ingrained in his bones and he did it subconsciously.
What should have been a peaceful retreat to the mountains turned into 627 working for a heartless (physical) capitalist.
Xiao Ma and Sun sighed sadly.
Mining and fishing both require following the same path.
The two met shortly after leaving home.
Because the chat, whether voice or text, is in the public chat, it will be seen by Lu Yibei.
Sun'er could only press the Y key and select the game's built-in "▓" garbled line emoticon to express his frustrated mood.
Little Ma was still humming a song, with a "?" expression on his head, seemingly quite happy.
What could Zhao Xun say? He could only sigh.
The capitalists heard his sigh.
"Hey you fishing—stop whining! A perfect hookset gives you triple fishing experience, so pay attention!"
"Lu Yibei, are you even human?!"
Zhao Xun, unable to contain herself any longer, snapped at him, "We've finished everything, what are you standing around at home for? Go fertilize the crops, or you'll get constipated—"
Lu Yibei's soft voice reached their earpieces:
"I will always be watching over you."
"Get to work properly!!"
…
[Senior (Sister: Lao Bei has gone mad)]
Ma Jiaojiao is currently breaking down iron ore.
I received a private message from Zhao Xun on WeChat.
[Ma: Yes, I noticed.]
[Senior/Sister: How about we reschedule?]
[Ma: It's okay, Senior Lu won't go crazy for long, he'll be fine in a bit.]
[Ma: Senior, please bear with it for a little while]
Then, Ma Jiaojiao did not receive any more WeChat messages from Zhao Sun.
She continued mining.
When the night was dark and the wind was high, Ma Jiaojiao carried a backpack full of ore home from the mine.
I happened to run into the little figure that Zhao Sun had created, returning from fishing.
"Returning with a full load?"
"—Returning home with a full load."
"Then go to sleep."
"Um."
Goodnight~~
"Wan—no, Lao Bei, where are you? It's time to go to sleep."
Zhao Sun shouted into the earpiece.
Stardew Valley has a system where you save your game while sleeping.
You need to sleep every day—you can choose not to, but at 2 AM, the system will force you to rest, and then wake you up at 6 AM the next morning. However, there will be penalties for doing so.
Lu Yibei did not answer.
But a pop-up window appeared in the lower left corner: The farmer "that" is already in bed.
Lu Yibei's character name is "that".
Zhao Xun didn't call him again and went straight back to her own little house.
Immediately afterwards.
Ma Jiaojiao heard Zhao Sun exclaim in surprise:
"What the hell are you doing in my house?!"
"He's still sleeping in my bed!!"
"Fuck you, that's my dog—"
Compared to Zhao Xun's uncontrollable rage.
Lu Yibei, on the other hand, seemed much more nonchalant:
"It's no big deal."
"Come on, let's sleep together."
"I've already warmed the bed for you."
"Get out of here!!"
Even if it were cybernetic, Zhao Xun would not want to share a bed with a grown man—especially a dark-skinned farmer!
Zhao Xun hurried out.
Brother Sun plans to use a tactic that Brother Sun was ahead of its time—trading bases.
If Lao Bei wants to sleep at his house, then he'll sleep at Lao Bei's house!
But when he went outside, he saw...
"Damn! Where's your house??"
The online cabin he had personally set up for Lu Yibei was right next to his house, but now it had vanished without a trace.
"It's on the opposite side of the farm, and at this time, it's probably too late for you to walk there."
