Game leveling is invincible

Chapter 10 010. [Stardew Valley] The Mayor's Threat (Revised)

The abandoned community center looks grand from a distance, but is dilapidated from a closer look.No one took care of the green ivy, which grew wildly and almost blocked the windows.Standing under the sun, this place feels cold, like a haunted house

Before entering the door, Nan Xiao thought that he would smell the musty smell in the tomb, but he didn't.

The air is surprisingly fresh, like a garden in the sun after the rain.Perhaps it was because of the broken windows, but the ventilation in the room was not bad.Many creeping plants drilled into the room from the outside of the wall, and scattered green leaves along the corner of the wall.Facing the sun's rays, they are full of vitality.

The floor was badly damaged, exposing the dirt beneath.The wallpaper was also peeling and yellow and brittle.

Lewis kept staring at himself, which was uncomfortable.This man must be eccentric.Even though he was an old man, he gave people a great sense of oppression.His eyes... the pupils seemed to have deep voids swirling, and it made people dizzy to look at them for a long time.

At this point, it's almost time to start a fight by staring back.Nan Xiao carefully averted his gaze and secretly observed the old man's expression.

Suddenly, something seemed to be caught in the corner of his vision.He immediately turned his head and saw a green ball as big as a watermelon.The thing was obviously a living thing.The big bean eyes stared over, as bright as fire.

It has nothing to do with cuteness, this thing looks like a weird green flame.It rolled twice on the floor and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

"Did you see anything?" Lewis asked.

"Uh... a mouse," Nan Xiao pointed to the corner where the green ball appeared just now, "It seems that a mouse came out from under the floor just now."

But there was nothing.The place he was pointing at now was just an empty corner.

The old man didn't speak, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.

After a few minutes, the old mayor smiled: "Mice... there are indeed a lot of mice here."

"That's it."

"But I thought maybe it wasn't a rat, it was something else."

"Ok?"

"The Morris manager of Qiao's Supermarket has always wanted to buy this place," the old man continued, "Buying it as a warehouse? I don't believe that. The supermarket's shelves alone can be sold for decades. There is no need to build a warehouse of several hundred square meters. Why does he want a community center? He must be eyeing some benefits here."

Nan Xiao realized what Lewis wanted to say.

Sure enough, the old man immediately asked: "A few days ago, he talked to you about the community center, right?"

There is no denying this.Since the old man dared to ask, it showed that he knew very well.

"Well," Nan Xiao nodded and admitted, "He wants me to become a member of the Qiao family. He said he has an agreement with you. As long as a town citizen is willing to become a member of the Qiao family, you will sell the community center to him."

"As a matter of fact, no one will become a member of Qiao's. Pelican Town has been established for decades, and we are all used to the peaceful and harmonious life here. However, Qiao's Supermarket wants to change us and our way of life. Absolutely not."

"Then why not just drive him away?"

"It's not that simple. The land of the supermarket was bought by Morris, and there is nothing to be picky about in the procedures. A few years ago, Pelican Town was in financial crisis. Morris saw the opportunity and bought the land from me ,. He also wanted the community center, but I refused. He forced me to sign an agreement, as long as there is a townsman willing to become a member of Qiao’s supermarket, I must sell the community center to him.”

Lewis stared at Nan Xiao: "You are the most junior townsman in Pelican Town, he may think he can break through from you."

Nan Xiao quickly promised: "I didn't agree. I also think he has bad intentions."

Lewis smiled: "This is the best, very good. You are the grandson of Nan Kongming and a member of our Pelican Town. I believe you."

The old man's smile was as kind as it was when we first met, but it only made people feel cold.Clearly, he wasn't satisfied.

Nan Xiao thought for a while before saying, "I borrowed [-] gold coins from Morris."

Lewis nodded: "I know."

"After six months, I will pay him back. The farm is short of funds during this period, and it is just borrowed temporarily. Anyway, there is no agreement, and I will not sign up as a member of Qiao's family just because of this."

Sure enough, after saying this, Lewis' expression changed slightly.The doubt subsided a little.

Unable to do anything else, Nan Xiao changed her mind and simply became bolder: "Actually, ten thousand gold coins is still not enough."

"Not enough?"

"Well, the farm needs seeds, sprinklers, and scarecrows. In addition, I want to raise some bees. I also plan to make wine. Also, Robin said that he can help me build a pasture, all of which cost money."

He said while trying to figure out Lewis's mind.He figured Lewis would like to see him put his money into Pelican Town.Sure enough, these words made Lewis nod his head repeatedly, seemingly satisfied.

So he boldly asked: "Can the mayor give me a loan? I think, if there are another ten thousand gold coins, the plans just now can be implemented. The interest... It's better to be a little bit cheaper."

Sometimes, asking for benefits is also a way to win people's trust.As long as the old man is willing to invest, he will subconsciously think that Nan Xiao has been benefited, and Nan Xiao should be grateful, and will have the same level of return.

Lewis thought about it for a while and nodded: "I'm not as stingy as Morris. I can lend you [-] gold coins, also for six months, without charging interest."

YES!

Nan Xiao laughed from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you mayor! I will definitely make good use of this money."

Actually, it's almost over here.Continue to stay in the community center, the floor will not bloom.However, Lewis refused to let him go easily. "Well, come and catch the 'mouse' when you are free. If you find anything, I hope you will inform me as soon as possible. As a member of Pelican Town, I hope that you can truly treat this place as your own home and treat it as your own. We are your family."

"Okay, no problem, definitely."

With a huge sum of [-] gold coins in hand, Nan Xiao happily returned to the farm and started working.Breaking rocks, watering the ground, and finally planning on weeding.

When I was about to weed, I suddenly found that the sickle was missing.

Hey, where is my sickle?Such a big one should have been there just now...

I looked around the house and couldn't find it.I also looked for it outside in the fields and grasslands, but nothing.There is nothing in the backpack. Every box has been clicked, and they are all irrelevant.

Lost it?Looks like I'll have to buy another one at Pierre's shop tomorrow.

It seems that there is always something bad going on...

Nan Xiao locked the doors and windows, thought again and again, and finally fell asleep.

When I woke up, the bed was warm, and I really didn't want to get up.After a long delay, he slowly raised his upper body.Suddenly, there is a bright light in front of my eyes!
A grass scythe polished to a shine!Just put it on the bedside rug!
He picked up the sickle and found that it was indeed the one that he couldn't find last night.The material is rough iron, ground very sharply.

Who put the sickle next to my bed?Without knowing it, I took it into my house.If I stabbed my neck while I was asleep, wouldn't my head move?
I was so frightened when I thought about it carefully that my vest was covered in cold sweat.

Suddenly, Nan Xiao found a note on the scythe:——
Dear Nan Xiao,
You walked too fast yesterday and left your scythe in the community center.I sent it back to you.Seeing that you slept so soundly, I put it on the carpet in front of the bed.Hope it didn't wake you up.

Mayor of Pelican Town, Lewis.
-
Boom!
Nan Xiao angrily cut a hole in the carpet with a sickle.

The mayor is an old monster!How dare you threaten me!

He was so angry that his eyes turned black with anger, and he felt blood welling up in his eye sockets.

Sure enough, the old guy's [-] gold coins are not so easy to get.Give a date and even threaten, both soft and hard.
