Spring 17th of the first year
You stand on the steps of the house, take a deep breath, then chug a cup of coffee, run into the field, swing your sickle to quickly harvest the cabbage, replant tulips, blue buffalo, and parsnip, turn around and run towards the top of the mountain, not forgetting to pet the hen and duckling as you pass by. It can be called the first perfect start since entering the game.
Robin's carpentry shop is open for business as usual today. You open the shop list, first purchase stones and wood for later use, and then spend a fortune to buy a telephone, a furniture catalog, a mini-fridge, and all the blueprints.
A perfect day ended with buying refrigerators. Instead of buying them one by one, you tried to increase the quantity, and ended up buying 703 refrigerators... Silently, you separated the 3 refrigerators you needed, and quickly threw the remaining 700 refrigerators into the trash can to try and destroy the evidence of your stupidity.
However, sharp-eyed netizens still caught it red-handed.
Wow, this is outrageously extravagant!
I wouldn't have this problem, because buying seven refrigerators would wipe out my savings.
Are you planning to fish out all the fish in Stardew Valley and put them in the refrigerator?
"No, that's not true, just buy three!" you quickly explained, "One for ready-made dishes, one for aquatic products, and one for things gathered from livestock. Combined with the refrigerator we already have for crops, that's enough for now."
After leaving the carpenter's shop, you descend the mountain to the community center to offer sacrifices.
After completing the blacksmith sacrifice to open the bulletin board, and adding 99 stones to complete the building collection pack, it's time for your most desired Vault sacrifice. The Vault sacrifice is the simplest; it only requires spending real money.
After the last gold coin was paid, a dozen or so Zhuni Demons suddenly appeared around you, waving their thin arms in celebration, looking very cheerful.
Zhunimo returned to Zhunimo's hut with the collection bag in hand, dragged out a bright star, and embedded it into the star chart above the fireplace.
With five more, they can successfully complete their mission and return to the forest.
You look up at the star, smile, and think that going through the trouble to complete the sacrifice does seem like a good choice.
It was already 3:00 pm when I left the community center. I had to hurry to the ranch to buy a rabbit, and then...
"Hey everyone, what's the code for the Dwarf Scroll?" The grand prize for the Vault Sacrifice is unlocking the Desert Bus. Once you can enter the desert, you can get the Galaxy Sword and then go back to the valley to dominate the weaker players... But you still feel uneasy about going mining with just the Galaxy Sword. It would be great if you could go to the Dwarf Shop to stock up on some items first.
[Huh? You need to use code for this too?]
Which streamer watches this repeatedly like you?
"Please be lenient, everyone." You put on a business smile and coaxed, "The villagers can't come down into the mine with me. Do you want to waste your time watching me struggle to break rocks? It'll be more fun to see the dwarves sooner, buy 999 bombs, and at least blasting the mine will be more satisfying, right?"
That's true...
【Okay, I'll spoil you this once. Let me check it out.】
[I object! You've already farmed all those Rainbow Shards to exchange for the Galaxy Sword, clearing the mine shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?]
It's not like we'll stop at the 120th floor. Filling this museum hole definitely requires a lot of crystal spheres, and blasting is the fastest way.
【I'm back! 96-99, how about another iridium ring?】
[Iridium rings are out of the question; my combat level is too low to wear them right now.]
You thank the helpful netizens, then close the live stream and focus on exploring the map, trying to gain more goodwill from others along the way.
When you approached Youyou, he didn't seem to notice you, muttering things like "tax increase," "spring holiday expenses," and "sister."
Opening the favorability list, it turns out this was considered a conversation; the assessment was really hasty.
Next up was Satoru Gojo, who spoke at breakneck speed, "I'm writing a new song for my band, but I have absolutely no inspiration. Hey, what do you think the theme of my new song should be—"
A selection screen pops up in front of you:
Option 1: Marriage, mining, and chopping wood.
Option 2: Swim to the deep sea.
Option 3: Hitchhiking on a train.
Option 4: Whatever. They're all awful anyway.
you:"???"
For a moment you really want to choose the last option, since the previous ones all seem rather strange.
But thinking about it carefully, could this be hinting at several ways to leave the game world?
In the first option, "marriage" is clearly a word that has been changed. It corresponds to staying in the same place to run the farm, working together to advance the game's progress, and naturally separating after reaching the ending.
The second and third options involve breaking through the set map boundaries from different directions, thus achieving early escape.
The fourth option is that none of the above methods are appropriate.
You know all too well that Stardew Valley is quite prone to bugs, especially with a lot of mods installed. While there's a theoretical chance of success using methods 2 or 3 to exploit the bug, the resulting situation is extremely unpredictable; you might be stuck somewhere, unable to return to Pelican Town. Unless the mysterious force that threw you in takes immediate action, the consequences could be dire.
So what about number 1? Marriage means allowing others to move into the farm, which can certainly help in running the farm. But at least in the original setting, this help is quite limited.
Also, you don't want to live with Gojo Satoru. Every time you see each other, you might accidentally kiss, which is too stressful... You usually follow the trend online and shout things like "Gojo husband," "Fox wife," or "Daddy" or "Mommy," but that doesn't mean you really want to be their partner or even get married. You're not a dream man; you're just saying it.
Ahem, getting off topic, the current issue is which one to choose. Gojo Satoru on the other side looks like he's getting impatient.
Your finger tentatively points to "Whatever. They're all awful anyway."
Even if it lowers your favorability rating, you can win it back by giving more gifts. The key is to show your attitude towards this matter!
The options vanished in a flash, and the white-haired, blue-eyed DK smiled brightly, saying in an exaggerated tone, "Really? That's a great idea. Thanks!"
You: "...What's going on? Did I make a choice?"
Gojo Satoru didn't answer you, but continued walking towards the next location set in the schedule.
I can't understand—oh well, he probably already knows what you're thinking... right?
You walked into the Dark Ranch with some worry, ordered two rabbits from her, and entered the Dwarf Scroll Code to obtain a complete set of four scrolls, one Star Fruit, and one Super Bomb.
As the dwarven scroll falls into your palm and then automatically disappears into your backpack, you feel an extremely sinister aura flash by, like a giant cockroach suddenly appearing on the screen when a ghost suddenly appears in the middle of the night while watching a horror movie—a multi-layered chilling sensation.
The game system has notified you that you have found an ancient artifact, which the Night Moth Path might find interesting.
Well, if you put it that way, since you only spent a short time in the mine twice, you never had the chance to open the crystal ball with the bald blacksmith, so naturally you didn't have any collections to donate. The museum opening scene was triggered unintentionally because you were going to give Etoki Yuta a birthday present.
"These scrolls... seal the fingers of the two Su Nuo. I didn't expect you to collect them all so quickly." Moth Masakado handed you a copy of "Dwarven Language Tutorial" as a donation reward, and said seriously, "Fortunately, you didn't try to open them. They're safe in the museum. Starting tomorrow, I will completely seal this place off between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
You exclaimed in shock, "Shouldn't they have said something this important sooner?! And I remember that dwarven scrolls can be farmed indefinitely, right? Is Su Nu a thousand-armed Guanyin with so many fingers—"
Masamichi Noi explained helplessly, "Before you brought them here, I didn't know exactly what the museum's collection was... Don't worry, only the first collection of antiquities is special; the rest are just ordinary scrolls."
You pressed further, "Weren't you sleeping between 2 AM and 6 AM? What happened?"
Moth Masamichi said, "'The witch' is active at night... I can't reveal any more."
You nodded to show your understanding, and then reminded him, "I obtained these scrolls from Mingming using... some special methods. Perhaps you can talk to Rika about this."
[Just kidding, do you want to teach NPCs how to use cheat codes?]
[Mayor: I'll immediately farm gold ingots to complete my little plan]
[The least grand episode of Sukuna, iivv's impotent rage]
[Quickly warn him to be careful of the "wizard"!]
[Given that the Green Witch is the Brain-Drawing Wizard's ex-wife, could their daughter actually be their son?]
What does this mean?
[Hisashi might actually be the wizard's son... After so many logical analyses suggesting the wizard's daughter was Caroline, Abby, or Emily, the truth is actually Alex??]
As you were leaving the museum, you suddenly remembered the Star Fruit you had just bought, so you casually took it out and popped it into your mouth.
What a wonderful and amazing taste!
It looks crispy, but tastes like cotton candy with a faint grassy flavor, and it also conjures up an image of a snow-white, furry big foot...
[No suspense]
The streamer still loves rabbit feet.
[If you don't understand, is this considered foot fetishism?]
[Not counted, next one]
[While you're here, pick up your own sweet and cuddly little bunny and give it a little kiss.]
[What? You have rabbit? I want a bite too!]
I picked up my rabbit, and then I was horrified by the smell of its charred, yellowed paws.
[After finishing his cigarette, he was kicked away! 555 My rebellious son has broken my heart!]
After eating the Star Fruit, you feel like you've been elevated, with an energy so high you could run from the museum into the Kariko Desert in one go.
Riding on that momentum, you rushed into the mine, pulled out the bright red super bomb, placed it on the ground, and gritted your teeth, refusing to back down.
This bomb is powerful, but it won't kill you. If you can withstand the pain for a moment, you can carry 999 super bombs to quickly clear the mine. If you really can't stand it, then buy a lower-level bomb, eat and drink to increase your speed, and stay far away.
Making this attempt was an impulsive act; simply put, I was hooked on the Star-Star Fruit, but fortunately, the result was good.
After the huge explosion, you were surprised to find that it didn't hurt at all!
The intense joy made you dizzy, and it took you a long time to calm down. After regaining your composure, you walked through the blasted-open entrance to trade with the dwarves.
Sitting in front of the rock face was Rimei. She was not tall to begin with, and the helmet made her look even shorter as she sat on the rock face.
The white-haired, purple-eyed dwarf smiled and said, "You've finally arrived."
Are you a little flattered? Are you really that looking forward to it? Well, you're right, after all, you're his only big customer here. He used to shut himself in a cave when he had no business, didn't he?
Next, the shop interface pops up, and you go on a shopping spree—first, 999 Super Bombs, the mining artifact; then 999 Bottles of Garlic Oil, the monster-slaying weapon; and Miner's Special Lollipops, which add magnetism and save you a few steps when collecting stones, so you buy a set! Finally, the Rare Crow, which you collect casually.
You'll return laden with spoils, just waiting for the Galaxy Sword to arrive so you can blast through mines, kill monsters, and collect crystal orbs!
As for the rest of the day, you decide to use it to organize the items in your backpack and rearrange the furniture.
First, move the bed from the doorway back into the bedroom. Since you're going to stay there for a while, it's not appropriate to sleep by the door every day, so it's better not to skip these steps. Place a wardrobe and rug next to the bed, and behind the bed, place one large aquarium and two small aquariums—the total capacity is the same as the two large aquariums, but the advantage is that it can just fill one wall of the bedroom. Hang the calendar on the wall next to the fireplace, and put a telephone there... That's about it. The layout of the house will change in the future, so there's no need to fill it up too much now. Besides, you appreciate minimalist home decor more (although real homes are always filled with all sorts of clutter, thanks to Stardew Valley's wooden crates that can hold everything).
After tidying up the house, you go to bed and dream of four little apple-shaped Zhunimos standing in a row dancing in front of a desert bus. They are very cute.
