Spring 19th of the first year
Turn left after leaving the house and open the mailbox; another series of letters pops out.
First, there's Fukuro Jinji, whose affection level rose to 4 hearts after I gave her a birthday present yesterday. She wrote a letter with a recipe for cheese and cauliflower. As for the main text—
Hello Mr. Iridium, you little rascal!
This is a recipe that Hui (large areas are blacked out, but words like "garbage dump" are vaguely visible) found. This dish needs to be simmered over low heat (this sentence is noticeably neater).

After reading the letter with everyone in the live stream, you couldn't help but comment, "More like a letter to express gratitude to us for finding a new job for his father, isn't this something Megumi Fushiguro forced Jin to write?"
It's hard to say. What if they suddenly had a change of heart? After all, they really did give him beer.
I also tend to think that Huizi can't control her father, so I guess in most cases she'll just ignore his nagging and end up like a turtle refusing to listen to anything.
[She actually wrote "brat" herself, he cares about you, I'm totally shipping them!]
You close the letter with a dark expression, thinking that netizens' imaginations are too rich. It's just the Pam 3 Hearts event in the game. What kind of conscience do you need?
The second letter is from Robin, and it's a fairly standard gameplay tip, telling new players that they can collect pebbles from the farm to help her build a well.
That's cheap, only 1000 gold. You'd only need that much to faint or die once anywhere. But Robin's schedule is too tight, so we'll talk about building the well later.
You share Stardew Valley trivia with new viewers in your live stream: "Wells mainly serve a decorative purpose. When you first start farming, try to cultivate land near water. In addition, you can also add water to fish ponds and kitchen sinks."
Next is Dazai Osamu's letter. In terms of content, it is not much different from Linus's original letter. Both of them say that someone was rummaging through your pockets after you fainted. However, there is a hint of schadenfreude in the text, which makes people wonder if he also participated in the act of stealing money from the exhausted farmer who fainted... Oh well, it doesn't matter. It would be even better if I could steal money myself to buy crab meat dishes and increase my affection level.
You open the last letter; it's from Jody. She wants some cauliflower to cook with.
What are you making, cauliflower with cheese?
[It's reasonable to suspect that Wumi ate Huihui's cheese and cauliflower soup after eating it, and then threw a tantrum at home demanding that her mom make it too.]
[Maybe it's because Satoru learned it and wants to teach Mrs. Jody how to make it? Our Gojo-sensei is also an expert cook... What, you mean DK Satoru? Well, never mind then.]
What are we doing today? Going mining, huh? I want to see blasting ore!
[Dog Roll: Mentaiko]
"The cauliflower... it's not fully grown yet, I'll give it to her in a few days." You muttered to yourself, remembering that when you received this task before, there was never any cauliflower to give her 10 times out of 10, and you basically forgot about it afterward. You're really not a helpful neighbor.
You walk into the chicken coop and touch the rabbits you bought before, feeling that there aren't enough and you should raise more. This time, you won't be coding; you'll just be buying animals.
While you're at it, check out what the traveling merchant is selling. The sacrifice requires one Red Leaf Cabbage, and the seeds for this crop are usually only sold at Pierre's shop in the second summer. So, if you want to complete the sacrifice in the first year, you'll have to shop around the pig carts a lot to buy it.
After deciding what you need to do this morning, you drink your coffee and run towards the exit below the farm.
It's not time for the ranch to open yet, so you'll head to the pig cart first. The traveling merchant didn't bring any good goods today, so you'll pass. Head into the secret forest to chop hardwood.
Sometimes there are just too many green slimes in the Secret Forest. They swarm around you like giant mosquitoes in the woods as soon as they see you.
A few days ago, you would definitely have avoided them. But things are different now. These little slimes are no match for the Galactic Sword. Taking care of them proactively can prevent you from being ambushed.
Then you return to the ranch, go inside and apologize to Mingming for taking things for free, and then buy 8 rabbits in one go, giving them simple and unadorned names without any code.
After I sold eight expensive rabbits that couldn't reproduce, and then you mentioned wanting to raise rabbits on a large scale, the act of taking the money finally restored the joy I should have felt.
Today is Friday. Besides buying the rabbit, you have another important task: to find out which villagers haven't given you a gift this week.
You know you can only give the same person two gifts per week, and they must be given over two separate days. The limit resets every Sunday. So, to avoid wasting this precious opportunity to increase your favorability, you might have to run around giving gifts like a salesperson before a holiday.
You opened your favorability list and counted, and found that there were still 8 people you hadn't given a gift to this week. You remembered meeting Gojo Satoru many times, but you had forgotten to take out a gift each time, which was really unbelievable.
The distance between these people is very far... They have to run to the mountaintop, the mage tower, and the desert. Not only are there no minecarts, but the stables haven't been built yet. They have to walk there themselves. It's a distance that would be exhausting just to control the little characters by pressing the keyboard.
You think for a few seconds and make a decision—you won't go to the Mage Tower.
Since your last meeting with the sorcerer for the sacrificial ceremony, you haven't considered going back there. Firstly, the place is indeed remote; aside from buying hats, nothing else is convenient, and you're quite satisfied with your current "old friend hat," so you won't patronize the hat rat's shop again until you get tired of it. Secondly, the sorcerer's account has been 99.99% likely hacked by Lu Suo, and that brain-waster is not someone to be trifled with; it's best for a hardworking and honest farm boy like you to keep your distance.
As you walk from the ranch to Pelican Town, you bump into Gojo Satoru. You quickly pull out a coffee and shove it into his hand, afraid that you'll forget about it once you start talking.
Gojo Satoru took the coffee and said, "Thank you! It smells delicious, but it might need some sugar cubes."
You paused for a few seconds, then said uncertainly, "Uh, how about I buy you a jar of candy from Pierre? But I can only deliver it tomorrow..."
Gojo Satoru gave a disgusted look, tilted his head back and gulped down the whole cup of coffee, then made a weird "yue" sound.
What should I do? I suddenly feel like hitting him.
I haven't gotten a slingshot yet, so I can't shoot. Tsk, I can understand why Angehime hates this guy.
You intend to walk right past him, but you still inexplicably trigger a conversation—the six-eyed guy doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with his behavior just now, and starts to complain about the troubles of living in the small town: "Did I tell you that my family used to live on the family estate? It had everything there, but it was too noisy and busy... It's hard to say which kind of life is better."
[Help! Is this some kind of cliché plot where a rich family's young master ends up in the countryside?]
[Elevate Jodi's status and bestow upon him the noble surname, Satorius!]
【? ? ? Satoru is Satoru, my friend】
No problem, they're American, so their last name comes last.
Keep it up, your twisted logic is almost convincing me!
Well, mainly because the name "Guojiao Shi" doesn't sound very respectable.
Even in Pelican Town, one must not lose face.
[I'll have this coffee, I'd like it as a coffee-flavored one.]
Who can get these ladies out of here...?
You were speechless, while Gojo Satoru was already playing on his skateboard as if no one else was around, seemingly developing new uses for his unrestrained techniques.
Next, you proceed with your original plan to take the bus into the desert.
Last time I only exchanged for the Galaxy Sword and forgot to visit the Desert Shop, so I can make up for it today.
"A customer...?" A tall, well-proportioned blonde beauty stood behind the shop counter. Upon seeing you, her expression quickly shifted from surprise to excitement. She asked, "What type of woman do you like?"
"Someone like Ximen Wuhen," you replied casually, expressionless, assuming she didn't even know who Ximen Wuhen was.
Upon hearing this, Yuki Tsukumo exclaimed incredulously, "What kind of horrible taste is this! Can money really be so twisted?!"
Don't be so pessimistic, Rabbit! Just admit you like men!
[She actually seems to know who Ximen Wuhen is; it seems this mod was made by a Chinese person.]
It's impossible for adding an AI to a mod; it's just a coincidence.
[I want a rich woman! I want a rich woman! What's wrong with Ximen Wuhen? He's got a strong sense of conviction!]
Whether it's a coincidence or not, you're so embarrassed by Yuki Tsukumo's mixed look of shock, pity, confusion, and disdain that your scalp tingles. After the first encounter, you immediately pull out a coffee, give her a gift, turn around and leave, determined not to let the social scene last even a second longer!
The next stop is the Star Fruit Bar, which is very lively on Friday nights. You can see people who don't usually go out in town, such as Pierre and Sebastian.
Both of them are well-known homebodies in Pelican Town. Although they're not quite to the point of never leaving their houses without a storyline like the mage and the dwarf, they're basically never seen unless they're inside.
You walk into the arcade, where Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke are playing pool.
Shoko Ieiri was sitting on the sofa next to me watching the game. She was dozing off when she noticed you coming over, so she greeted you.
You glanced at the affection list and saw 1 heart. You hadn't given her enough gifts this week, so you went over to bring her coffee and replied, "Good evening, welcome home."
You need at least two hearts to be considered friends, so it's more appropriate to call her by her surname for now—even though you, like other curse fans, are more used to calling her Shoko.
"Thanks, coffee again?" Ieiri Shoko looked up at you, holding a coffee cup, and teased, "They're all betting on how much coffee you bought from Gus. By the way, I'm guessing more than 100 cups."
"Huh?" You were stunned. As a player, even though you had actually traveled into the game, you still lacked the kind of interaction with others where they might discuss your thoughts behind your back. So, when you suddenly heard Shoko say that, you were somewhat bewildered.
"So what's the answer? Is it 25, 100, or 999 cups?" Ieiri Shoko pressed, though her expression suggested she didn't seem to care much about the result.
If you have to choose from these three, then I'd say 999. Actually, it's much more than that.
A heart suddenly appeared above Xia Youjie's head, while a water droplet appeared above Gojo Satoru's head.
"Looks like I guessed right. Should we let Wu win the pool game tonight?... Never mind." Xia Youjie smiled, his fox-like eyes narrowing, the curve of his lips quite attractive.
You asked curiously, "What's the stake?"
Xia Youjie replied, "It's a new game, and I'll decide which one to play first this time."
well?
New games!! Judging from the fact that there's a bet involved, there must be at least two!!! That means besides King of the Grasslands Adventure and Junimo's Mine Cart, there are other mini-games?!
Just as countless farmers open movie theaters not to invite villagers to watch movies, but to play the claw machines, you've long wanted to try Sam's arcade game. And the computers at 384's house—they can't all be just for work; they probably have games too. What could they be? "#I'm playing Harvest Moon in Stardew Valley"? That's a possibility!
Although Xia Youjie doesn't seem like the type to enjoy these kinds of games, I'm still looking forward to it; the value of increasing his favorability rating is still rising!
After leaving the Star Fruit Bar, you headed to the mine.
Rime seems to be in a bad mood today; the way he looks at you is icy and carries a hint of murderous intent.
Your hand hesitated for a moment as you reached for your coffee, then you pulled out a coconut you'd found in the desert. If drinking coffee at night keeps you awake, try some coconut water to cool down.
[Did she know that Su Nuo was severely attacked by returning user Wild Rose?]
Wait, her? Isn't Rimei supposed to be a boy?
[Tongtong Internet Cafe, Rimei girl, Su Nuo is gone!]
[What "Tongtong"? What "internet cafe"? Does it mean there's someone to play games with me?]
[It's like that disorienting feeling you get when your cross-dressing colleague next door tells you they're going on maternity leave.]
Poor Li Mei is now a young widow.
[Don't talk nonsense! Mei and Master have a purely platonic master-servant relationship. She's already had three children with Cheng!]
Our Venerable Su Nuo died in such an abstract way.
[Don't worry, it won't be any more abstract than iivv. (Taking out my little black notebook and writing down iivv's name from her photo.jpg)]
Thank you for your kindness, I'll tell you L's real name!
...
Regardless of the reason for Rime's sudden change in attitude, survival is the priority. After being killed by the company for making outrageous remarks to Tsukumo Yuki, you turned and ran for the second time today.
Since we're already here, let's go mining!
The hardworking and brave farmer entered the mine and began to blow things up, quickly becoming adept at running out of the blast radius.
However, it was already 9:30 pm, and before you could even reach the treasure chest level, you hurriedly made your way out, rushing back to the save point along the mountain path as fast as you could, and then collapsed in front of the bed.
Hmm, I guess I should have put the bed by the door after all...
