Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

So hungry, Lin Xia turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but she was so hungry. Ever since a shameless little Japanese country began to discharge nuclear wastewater into the ocean, coupled with the constant wars in the Middle East and small European countries, the global environment has begun to deteriorate rapidly. Now there is a global food shortage, and the food of ordinary people has become a nutrient solution that can only maintain the basic energy of the body. Oh, so hungry.

Opening her eyes, Lin Xia looked at the unfamiliar small dining table for four people not far from the bed. On the table was a plate of golden and soft bread, which was extremely tempting. Lin Xia wondered if she was too hungry and began to have hallucinations. This kind of bread could only appear in the world before environmental pollution, and on the tables of some wealthy people now.

Lin Xia stared at the bread, not daring to move, for fear that the scene in front of her would suddenly disappear, but the aroma of bread kept wafting towards her. What was going on?

Lin Xia finally pinched her thigh lightly (partly because she was too hungry to have the strength, and partly because she was afraid of destroying the beautiful scenery in front of her). It was a little painful, and the scene in front of her did not change at all.

Lin Xia quickly stood up, ran to the table, picked up the bread and ate it in big mouthfuls, almost fainting from happiness. Even if she would wake up from the dream the next moment, Lin Xia felt it was worth it.

After finishing the bread on the plate, Lin Xia stroked her stomach contentedly and began to look around the house which seemed both strange and familiar.

This room is about 40 square meters and has a small wooden bed of 1.2 meters with light yellow bedding. There is a set of bedside tables beside the bed, and a dark blue book on the table next to the bed. About 50 centimeters away is another table, next to the TV cabinet. There is a calendar hanging on the wall between the two bedside tables, as if it is convenient for people to go in and look at the calendar.

Next to the TV cabinet is a bookcase. Against the wall opposite the foot of the bed, near the door, there is a large box that looks like the camphorwood box used by people in the 1980s and 1990s.

This... This familiar layout, isn't it the small wooden house at the beginning of the single-player GBA game that was all the rage when my mom was in high school - Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town?

My mother, who was already very old at the time, had been working tirelessly on the farm, hoping to have fun for 100 years and get the title of golden wedding. She even asked me, who was in high school at the time, to make a strategy for her while I was busy preparing for the college entrance examination!!!

Lin Xia immediately turned on the TV, and sure enough, the first person to appear was a man in a suit and tie, announcing today's date and the festivals of this month: Spring 2, the horse race on the 18th, and the cooking festival on the 22nd, welcome to participate. It turned out that today was the second day of the game, which meant that I would meet the mayor of Mineral Town as soon as I went out to introduce me to the ranch.

This is really incredible. I actually traveled to a game I played before. It was really a blessing from God. Thank God. In the real world, eating is a problem, but in this farming game, there is no worry about food and drink. Even the basic food distributed by the system is so delicious. Not to mention, there is no pollution here, and I can plant and raise livestock freely. It's great.

In the game, time in houses and animal huts is still, which means you can do anything inside without worrying about wasting time. At the beginning of the game, there should be a 3-slot backpack, where is it?

Lin Xia looked around the room but didn't see it, so she walked to the toolbox by the door, opened it, and finally saw a small yellow backpack. How much stuff can such a small bag hold? Lin Xia was full of doubts. She remembered that in the game, the backpack was always on the protagonist, whether taking a shower or sleeping, but now the game has become a real environment, it is definitely impossible for the backpack to be carried all the time.

After reaching out to take the backpack and putting it on my back, suddenly, a familiar music flashed in my mind, and then a picture of the game interface appeared. Looking at this game interface after so many years, I don't know why my eyes are sore. When I played games back then, life was still carefree. The only worry was the college entrance examination. But compared to now, those are nothing in the face of survival.

I calmed down and looked at the familiar menu items again, which were diary, backpack, large map, ranch map, household account book, and various statistics. In the past, there was a gameplay in the game that allowed players to check at any time, but now it has become a real scene and this gameplay no longer exists. In the past, the diary was also a way to save and load files, but now it is just a simple diary.

The backpack is considered an equipment, not a real backpack, otherwise how can it hold so many things of different types and weights. The current backpack only has 3+3 slots, 3 slots can hold various pickups, and the other 3 slots can hold various farm tools. Click on the asset table to see how much assets you have. Sure enough, it is still the same as before - 500G.

What can you buy with 500G? Let me first explain to you that in spring, carrot seeds are 120G/bag, you can buy 4 bags; potato seeds are 150G/bag, you can buy 3 bags; cucumbers are 200G/bag, you can buy 2 bags; forage grass is 500G/bag; cabbage is 500G/bag; these are the only seeds available in spring. The first time you upgrade your backpack, you need 3000G, and the second time you need 5000G. In a word, poor!

But it still needs to be planned well, and today is Spring Day 2, which is also Tuesday. The grocery store is closed and you can't buy anything. You can only make money by selling mountain products! A grass on the mountain can be sold for 100, and a bamboo shoot can be sold for 50. In the early stage, you can only rely on these. Fortunately, the daily food is provided by the game, which is great! When you are rich in the future, you can give yourself extra meals!

At present, the backpack is empty. Let's put the necessary tools in it first. The sickle is used to cut grass, the hoe is used to hoe the ground, and the axe is used to chop some trees in the field. While cleaning up the field, you can also accumulate wood. The amount of wood is a necessary condition for the later expansion of houses and animal huts.

First open the farm map and take a look at the current situation of the farm. The big rocks and big wood piles occupy about 1/4 of the farmland. These cannot be cleaned up for the time being and need upgraded farm tools. The rest are some weeds, small branches and small stones, which can be cleaned up with time.
