"Ahahahaha~ The fish soup is here!" The "cook" Gus came up pushing a big pot of steaming fish soup on a cart.

"What a wonderful thing it is to drink fish soup. Haha, thanks to our champion for bringing us the delicious fish soup." Lewis took a sip of the fish soup and praised sincerely.

The afterglow of dusk shone on the square of Pelican Town, adding a touch of golden color to the dinner.

The big table in the central square of the town was filled with a variety of food, which was dazzling and mouth-watering.

The residents of the small town gathered in groups of three or four, chatting with acquaintances and enjoying delicious food, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Sean was alone, carrying his plate, trying a dish he had never seen before - Grampton Chicken.

Delicious! The tenderness of the chicken and the sweetness of the orange, close your eyes and taste it. "Gus's cooking skills are really amazing. I'll ask him how to make this dish someday."

They were all local dishes with Stardew Valley characteristics. Sean walked around the table, stopping and picking out the food he liked.

At this time, Sam and Alex walked through the bustling crowd and went straight towards Sean.

"Sean! I finally found you!" Sam shouted enthusiastically, his face filled with a youthful and energetic smile. His blond hair, which was well-groomed enough to look good in a Super Saiyan cosplay, shone even more brightly in the dusk. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was a typical sunny handsome guy.

He lived in the southern neighborhood of town - Willow Lane, and was a neighbor of Emily and her family.

His father Kent was away from home because he was in the army, leaving only his mother Jody to take care of his younger brother who was more than ten years younger than him.

——Vincent, the little boy who first discovered Sean when he first went to the library.

"That's great! Congratulations on winning the fishing tournament. Would our champion be interested in playing a board game with us?" Since they had already known each other during the rescue operation, Sam walked over and put his arm around Sean's shoulders and said.

His warm smile always brings others closer to him. He is a positive person. Sean looked at him and complained silently.

Alex on the side took over the conversation: "Sean, you have stolen the limelight in the rescue operation and the fishing competition, but you may not be my opponent in playing board games. What do you think, do you dare to compete with me?" He raised the UNO card in his hand with a proud look on his face.

"Why aren't you convinced today? It seems that I have to make you convinced." Sean said this to Alex in a joking tone.

After spending some time together, Sean knew that this was just who he was, a little arrogant and stubborn, but not a bad person at heart.

If he can convince him with his personal charm, he will gain a loyal friend, which will be of great help to Sean's future schedule.

"Okay, we'll see how good we are later." Alex flexed his muscles, "Come on, take whatever you have, we can eat while we play."

As he said this, he also picked up a plate and started to choose: "This salmon is well cooked." The nervous Alex promoted his favorite food to his "competitor" Sean.

After a busy moment, Sean followed Sam and Alex to Alex's residence, a house west of the Pelican Town Square.

Under the streetlight, two square tables and a few chairs formed a simple card game. Elliot, Shane, and Sebastian seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Come on, everyone, sit down." Sam greeted everyone warmly.

Sean put the food on the square table on the side and found a seat to sit down. Elliot sat down next to Sean. His burly figure blocked the light of the street lamp like a small mountain, and the huge shadow covered half of Sean's body.

On the day of the rescue, Sean was surprised by his muscular body, but he didn't have time to chat at that time. Now, Sean took this opportunity to look at him with interest.

Elliot has broad shoulders and strong muscle lines, but his eyes reveal a deep tenderness, as if he can see through the beauty and sorrow of all things in the world.

As soon as he sat down, he seemed to have found a confidant. In his special intonation, he talked to Sean about the rescue scene that day and asked him if he could be the prototype of the protagonist of his next bard collection. His enthusiasm seemed to overwhelm Sean.

Sean felt a bit like "a man is being forced upon another man", so he quietly moved his hips a little further away from him, responding casually, but his eyes, unable to bear the intense gaze, glanced to the other side.

Shane on the opposite side was holding a beer with an impatient look on his face, looking like a drunkard. Apart from drinking, his world was not very interested in the game.

At this time, he was forced by Sam to sit down, right opposite Sean's house.

Sean met his eyes and nodded.

Although there had been some unpleasantness with him before, after the cooperation during the rescue, the two of them had a better understanding of each other and could no longer deliberately pretend that the other did not exist.

Seeing Sean's move, Shane took a sip of wine and raised the bottle in response.

Alex sat down above Sean.

"Sean, your body shape is very suitable for playing rugby. If you want to join a team with me, come and join me. I am a professional player." Alex said, patting his bronze chest.

As soon as he sat down, he pulled Sean's arm and made a proposal excitedly, as if the person who had just boasted that he wanted to compete in the board game was not him.

Sean shirked the matter by saying he was busy on the farm.

"How much money can you make from farming? Becoming a professional player and playing in a league, making a name for yourself, and living a life with luxury cars and beautiful women is what we should pursue." Alex showed off his muscles, but Sean, looking regretful, rejected his proposal.

After all, he is a guy with a brain full of muscles and impatience. Sean defined Alex in his mind and ignored this bull.

Sebastian chose a seat farthest from the light source and sat alone in the corner.

With black hair, black eyes and a black coat, he blended into the darkness. There was no expression on his pale face. He just looked at others quietly without saying a word.

He exudes an aura that says "keep away from strangers", a complete yin corner.

"No wonder Aunt Robin asked me to go to her house more often to get Sebastian out for a walk. The atmosphere in this house is too strong."

The dazzling Sam finally sat down, and the two people with distinct styles were in stark contrast. One was silent in the shadows, and the other was under the street light, greeting everyone enthusiastically.

But the two of them can actually get along well with each other. "Interesting, they are so compatible, why don't they debut as a group?" Sean wanted to say this.

Seeing that all six people had already sat down at the table, Sam enthusiastically introduced the rules to everyone.

[The rules of the game are very simple: each person takes turns to play a card. If the number or color on the card is the same as the previous card or meets certain conditions, the card can be played. Otherwise, the card cannot be played and a card needs to be drawn from the deck;]

[When there is only one card left in the hand, you must shout "UNO". If you forget to shout "UNO", you need to draw a card as a penalty. When all the cards in the hand are played, the player wins. ]

After understanding the rules, Sam picked up the deck of cards and began to deal them out one by one until everyone had 7 cards in hand.

"Okay, let's get started!" Sam announced.

He turned over the top card of the deck as his starting card, which was a red 1.

"Red 1. If it's the same color, I'll play a red 6." Sam played first.

"Sean, are you ready? I won't let you win!" Alex said provocatively, holding the cards in his hand.

"Come on! I'm ready to take any shots you throw at me." Sean was calm.

"Hmph, just wait and see!" Alex snorted unconvinced.

"Red 6? Humph, I have red too." Alex proudly played one, "Red 4, Sean, it's your turn!"

Sean smiled slightly. Although he didn't have a red card, he had a card with the same number. Sean put the card on the table: "Yellow 4, change colors!"

"Ah? Changing colors so quickly?" Elliot said in surprise. He looked at his hand and saw that he only had two yellow cards to play. He hesitated for a moment and chose a yellow 5 and placed it on the table.

Sebastian, the next player, did not have a card of the same color and number, so he silently drew a card.

"Since you don't have a yellow card, I'm sorry, Seba." It was Shane's turn. Shane took out a yellow turn card with a sinister look, and changed the order of playing cards from clockwise to counterclockwise.

"Ah, don't turn it, I have a special card waiting to be given to the next player." Alex shouted when he saw this.

Sebastian, who was targeted by this, did not react at all and silently added one to his card.

"Since you want to target me, don't blame me for being rude, Alex!" It was Sean's turn, and Sean played the special card in his hand: +4.

This is a special card that forces the next player to draw four cards and skip a turn.

"You!" Alex stamped his feet in anger, but he admitted defeat and drew 4 cards.

And so it went on for a few more turns.

"UNO!" After several rounds of playing, Sean's predecessor Elliott was the first to have one card left and shouted "UNO"

"Then I UNO too!" Sean then played a card, leaving only one.

"Follow me!" Alex, who had a hand of cards, gritted his teeth and followed, "Seba, these two players are left to you."

Seba sat in the darkness and did not respond.

Sam and Shane played their cards in turn, and it was Seba's turn.

Sean looked at him nervously, praying that Elliot wouldn't be able to handle the card he played.

"Green skip card." Seba silently played a functional card.

"Nice!" Skipping the card allowed the next player to skip a round of playing cards, perfectly avoiding Elliot and coming to Sean's turn to play cards.

"Green 8. Win!" Sean finished dealing the cards in his hand.

"Come again! This time I want revenge." Alex said unconvinced.
