Chapter 48: Departure, Desert Travel Farmer Becomes...
After the sacrifice, the farmer successfully unlocked the vault. Of course, half of that was thanks to Lewis—but the player had also put in some effort! After all, he still hadn't met the legendary Pam and Penny. After all, Pam was the only driver in Star Valley. Regardless, the farmer successfully completed the mission at the community center, said goodbye to the group of NPCs who looked perplexed, and returned to his farm. Although the bump on his head from Lewis's blow still ached, he didn't mind. He was already a seasoned player, so he ate two cave carrots and successfully revived to full health!
The player began to water the plants with anticipation and fell asleep.
Because they won the championship in the IH preliminaries, the school and the coach were merciful and gave the volleyball team a day off, meaning that they could relax their muscles. After all, it was only June and the Tokyo finals would not start until early August. So the farmer planned to use this day to take his first desert trip in his repaired bus, and maybe even catch some sandbars.
In short, desert travel gogogo!
After strolling around until 10:00, the farmer arrived at the bus stop, which he hadn't seen for a long time but was extremely familiar with.
Then I saw Pan, Pam...?
The farmer's confident expression froze on his face. He had thought he was fully prepared, but apparently he was still not prepared enough.
Who is this unshaven uncle?
The farmer was shocked!
Nyudo Mifune, the head coach of Neon U17 tennis, is tasked with driving today.
Anyway, he woke up here, probably dreaming from drinking too much. Mifune accepted the role smoothly and made an impatient sound when he saw the blue-haired boy standing in front of him.
Pam rasped, "If you want to get in the car, hurry up."
farmer:……
The farmer tremblingly handed five hundred yen to the tall man labeled Pam, looking a bit like a mafia henchman offering tribute.
Then, with a blank expression, he experienced what it meant to live at a lightning speed. The Star Valley bus was moving very fast, and before he could sort out his feelings, he was sent to the Calico Desert. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Where are the player's cutscenes?! Players aren't the type to skip cutscenes!
He even makes an effort to read the guide!
But it was of no use. The farmer was still pushed out of the car with a confused look on his face. By the way, he heard Pam cursing and saying that he didn't earn so little even by doing hard labor in his dreams.
Player:.
The player left the desert bus stop in humiliation.
He will never be happy again!
…and in the next moment, I was lost in the vibrant world of the desert. Wow, the desert! So huge! Oh, right, the player triggered their passive skill—fish memory—and with a tap of their hands, they were ready to search for the desert shop. Even though the farmer was poor, it wasn't illegal to take a look.
So the player met Sebastian on the way to find the store.
At first, the farmer thought he was seeing things. How could Sebastian be in the desert? He quickly questioned his own eyes and was about to leave. Then he paused and turned back suddenly.
The players were shocked, it was actually Sebastian!
Sebastian also came to travel in the desert?
No, when the player looked back again, he found the beach next to him.
Player: ...
The player looks at the desert map and then looks at the sea.
Suddenly I understood, and a look of wisdom appeared in my eyes. So this is what it means to wear the model? (Thick fog)
Anyway, after delivering Sebastian the flounder, the farmer discovered that he also seemed to be going to the desert mine, so it was natural for him to go with him.
Time flashes back to the present, and the person labeled Demetrius asks the farmer if he's from the volleyball club—
The farmer understood and wisely introduced himself the next second: "I'm the new farmer."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "My name is Jiancheng."
Kuroo: ...
Kuroo: "Is this true or not?"
Ye Jiu was stretching his legs while complaining: "Are you saying tongue twisters?"
Hisense whispered, "Practice match, practice match is about to begin."
Due to IH's defeat, the frequency of their team practice matches has increased a bit recently. However, Coach Naoi was called over to give temporary guidance to students from other clubs due to some matters, so he arranged some rest time for the club members. They had originally set a start time, but the coach seemed to be stuck and it was delayed until now. Coach Naoi had just walked over and was sitting in the supervisor's position with a sullen face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Kuroo:.
Kuroo glanced at the stern-faced coach and thought that this was such an unfortunate timing. He had originally wanted to act first and ask for permission later, but now that he was seen, he had no choice but to give up. He pulled the man up and walked towards the coach's position.
"Mr. Naoi," he drawled, "there's a new student from Shiratorizawa here."
Before Naoi Manabu could react, Kuroo said, "He'll play a practice match with us next. His position will be..."
He took a look at Kenjo Shinichi's height and concluded, "Main attacker."
Coach Naoi was silent for a moment: "...Is that so?"
He seemed to have watched the game video from Miyagi, and vaguely remembered that the young man in front of him seemed to be Shiratorizawa's powerful server, and his position should be setter?
Could it be that Kuroo and the others had agreed to swap places? Naoi pondered for a few seconds and thought this was a good opportunity, so he agreed to it, "Okay."
Anyway, it would inject new blood into Nekoma. But then again, he remembered something, "It seems that Nekomata-sensei has a cold today. I guess he won't be here this week. Kuroo, remember to inform everyone about this."
Kuroo was stunned for a second before making an OK sign. Then he put his arm around Kenjo's shoulders in a familiar manner. He was only about a centimeter taller than Kenjo, so the gesture was a little awkward. He tilted his head and smiled, "Kenjo-kun, you should be able to play as a main attacker, right?"
Without waiting for the blue-haired boy to answer, he said to himself the next second: "It's okay, as long as I can hit the ball when I jump."
The team is decided by drawing lots. Most of the third-year students of the Onoma Volleyball Club have completed the withdrawal procedures after IH. After all, most of them still need to continue their studies. So now the first and second years are the main force. The main setter is Grinding, and the second-year setter Inoue is in the second team. At this moment, he was also pulled here due to manpower problems.
The final result of the draw was that Mo Mo and Jian Cheng were in the same group, and Kuroo was assigned to Inoue's class. In order to prepare for the extra training in the next few days, they even dug out vests of different colors from the warehouse to distinguish them.
Mo Mo looked at Yamamoto and Kenjo who were assigned to his side and sighed.
While putting on my vest, I looked at the ceiling of the volleyball hall - the game is about to start again. I definitely can't take my game clothes in this weather, because I will definitely go home with a sweaty smell...
Don't want to compete,
"I don't want to compete," a voice sounded in his ears. For a moment, Mo thought he had said it accidentally. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at the person who spoke.
It's Jiancheng——
At this moment, he seemed to scratch his cheek in a bit of distress, and there was a look in his eyes that could be called helplessness.
Come to think of it, although I don't know what the other party's purpose is in running all the way from Shiratorizawa to Otokoma, it's not very friendly to ask him to play a game as soon as he arrives. By the way, is this how our school treats guests? Just randomly find a student and ask him to come to the volleyball team as a sparring partner?
After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that Yinju was really the heart.
If others heard this, they would probably shake his shoulders and tell him not to betray (……)
In short, Mo Li stood in his own position with a slightly guilty mind. He even spoke to comfort Jian Cheng, who had been calling him a strange name, and said, "It's okay, Jian Cheng, it's just a practice match."
Kenjo Shinichi didn't look at him, but just nodded with his head tilted to the side, which seemed to indicate that he understood.
Coach Naoi acted as the referee and blew the whistle at this moment. With the sound of "beep", Nekoma's strange "in-team" practice match also kicked off.
*
Because the farmer's goal today was just to visit the desert shop, he didn't put the bomb in his backpack. After all, if he accidentally took it out, it would blow up all the crops! Now there is no time to go back, which is a big problem and the player is heartbroken.
If you don't want to mine, and you don't have bombs around you, then the efficiency will be very low...
At this time, Sebastian glanced at him and said a few words, which roughly meant that the player should concentrate on picking up the loot, and he would knock the remaining stones.
Player: ...
Player: Wow! Golden Legend!
He actually got a top-tier NPC today! It's a rare opportunity to praise the mod for their contribution!
The farmer was very happy.
*
That's what he said, but because he didn't know Kenjo Shinichi's hitting point, his original plan was to give him a standard ball, and then see if his opponent's performance would gradually improve. After all, if he hit it too low, there would still be room for recovery. If he hit it too high, the attacker would not be able to hit it and the sense of frustration would be even greater.
Because the guessing of the side failed, the team that Kuroo is on now serves.
Hisense's serve was received by the first-year libero. Yinju's first passes were almost always spot-on. All Momo needed to do was figure out which attacker to pass the ball to. So, the first ball...
How about giving it to Yamamoto first?
After all, he seemed eager to try, but as for the hospitality, it was better to give it to Jiancheng first.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Mo passed a ball to Kenjo Shinichi. Logically speaking, the ball should not be difficult to hit, but the blue-haired boy from Shiratorizawa only thought for a while, then jumped lightly on the spot.
He effortlessly jumped to a position that seemed almost unbelievable to others.
After the volleyball landed, there was a moment of silence in the venue, and the sound of sneakers walking was particularly obvious at this time.
Kenjo Shinichi came to the grinding side and tilted his head slightly, "Can it be higher?"
Otokoma: ...
Grind: "...Oh."
His expression twisted inwardly. Sure enough, his ominous premonition had come true—it would definitely be tiring to dribble the ball for this person!
-----------------------
Author's words: Note 1: Pam, a Stardew Valley NPC, but the interesting thing is that her personality is a bit similar to that of an alcoholic, often drunk (......), that is, the only driver in Stardew Valley is actually an alcoholic (but maybe there is a hidden plot that I haven't seen) (I will check the guide later) In addition, she is Penny's mother
P.S.: I didn’t give up and made another appointment with the farmer. The deadline is on the 29th. I’m looking forward to it (praying for nia)
