Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia then went to Dart's store and ordered a year's worth of welfare meals from Dart, leaving only 1G in her purse. Fortunately, she dug up some money yesterday, otherwise...

Hey! Lin Xia immediately went to the beach to dig some herbs, and then went to the mountain to pick up everything that could be dug and pulled. After Lei Budong gave the goddess flowers, he picked some more flowers and prepared to give them to the dwarfs. Now I can't afford wheat flour, but I can't stop giving gifts to the dwarfs. As the number of fields increases, it is definitely not enough for one dwarf to work, and there will be harvests later!

Lin Xia first put the herbs and bamboo shoots into the shipping box, then gave Bordeaux a bouquet of flowers; then she sprinted 3 meters to the dwarfs' house and gave flowers to the rest of the dwarfs. After checking the dwarfs' favorability, she found that except for Bordeaux, which was still 2 stars, the other dwarfs had become 3 stars. It seems that giving gifts for 2 consecutive days will increase the favorability by one star. Giving gifts on the birthday will increase the favorability by stars.

When giving a gift to the red dwarf Xie Fu Nian, it told Lin Xia: "Did you know? Kappa likes cucumbers. Throw cucumbers into the lake and it will appear!"

Lin Xia got this information and thanked Xie Fu Nian. Although I don't know what will happen after the Kappa appears, but according to the setting of the goddess, it should be necessary to send gifts continuously, and there will be feedback after reaching a certain number of times.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia decided to wait until her cucumbers were grown and then take them to try it out.

In the following days, Lin Xia continued to cultivate the fields, not too much, only 5 mu a day (if he cultivated more, the dwarfs would not be able to keep up with the watering); while picking mountain products, he clocked in every day to send flowers to the goddess. The 8th happened to be the goddess' birthday, and he successfully received more enthusiastic thanks from the goddess, but only verbally. He also picked wild flowers from the mountains and gave them to the townspeople he met to gain their friendship; on the days when the grocery store was open, he generously purchased wheat flour for the dwarfs, and finally on the 7th, he raised Bordeaux's favorability to 4 stars, and the favorability of other dwarfs also successfully reached 3 stars.

As more and more land was opened, the favorability of the dwarfs reached 3 stars. On the 7th, the first acre of radishes planted could be harvested, and radishes were planted again after harvesting. Since there was only one acre, the income was only 420G; but on the 8th, the 2 acres of radishes planted for the second time were harvested, and the income was 8G. With this income, the economic situation improved, and I immediately went to the grocery store to replace the new backpack. The new backpack has 3360 slots in the toolbar and 6 slots in the inventory. Now I don’t have to run back and forth to transport different types of goods, which can greatly save time.

截止10号时已经增种了2亩青瓜，10亩萝卜和18亩马铃薯。现在青瓜一共是4亩（可以反复收获，不用复种）；萝卜一共种了19亩（5天复种1次）；马铃薯一共种了28亩（8天复种1次）。

The dwarfs also arranged their schedules, ensuring that four were watering and one was harvesting every day, and the remaining two were responsible for replacing the dwarfs whose jobs had expired, so that there would be no gaps in watering and harvesting.

Lin Xia also did not stop the process of brushing up his proficiency in farm tools. He tried to complete routine tasks such as clearing the land, picking mountain products, grocery shopping, and giving gifts to dwarves in the morning every day. After lunch, he used the afternoon to make use of hot springs and mines to mine and brush up his proficiency. He also sold the ores for money (although a single ore was not valuable, but a small mosquito was still meat!), while happily thinking: I don't mind your low price, and you don't mind me being poor!

Finally, I upgraded the hoe and hammer to the level where I could upgrade them. After getting the upgraded axe from Sebala, I sent the hammer over for an upgrade, which cost me another 2000G. Alas, my wallet is empty again. When crops are not harvested on a large scale, I can't keep the money.

The mine cave was successfully reached to the 9th floor. The deeper you go, the larger the area of ​​the mine cave is and the more varieties of ores there are. From the 1st to the 3rd floor, only copper and silver mines appear, with copper mines being more common. From the 4th floor, gold mines appear. From the 6th floor, mithril appears. Mithril is a dark blue ore that looks like a raspberry and is particularly beautiful. From the 9th floor, diamonds and orchids appear.

Diamond is a light blue, diamond-shaped mineral that is essential for making processing machines. For example, a mayonnaise processing machine processes eggs into mayonnaise, and the shipping price will be higher; a cheese processing machine processes milk into cheese; and a yarn processing machine processes wool and rabbit hair into yarn. The finished product will be of the corresponding grade depending on the grade of the raw materials put in.

Orichalcum is a white ore with a crown-like shape and sharp corners. It can be made into necklaces, brooches, earrings and other accessories. The manual cost of jewelry making is 1000G, and the shipping price is 2000G. Of course, if you have a good relationship with the traveling merchant Huo An, you can consider selling it to him, but it depends on your bargaining skills. Maybe you can sell it for more than the shipping price, or maybe it's not as good as the shipping price.

Since Lin Xia doesn't need these ores at the moment, and there is no storage cabinet at home to store these ores that can be used, Lin Xia will ship them all out. As the variety of ores increases, the prices of various ores are also different, and the income has increased accordingly. However, these are all practical ores, that is, they are used to upgrade or make tools, not to sell, so the prices are still shockingly low. Gold ore is 25G, Mithril is 40G, Orichalcum and diamond are both 50G, the same price as bamboo shoots.

Before 5 o'clock every day, Lin Xia put the ore into the shipping box and went to have dinner. After dinner, he started fishing and selling it while improving his fishing rod proficiency. His life rhythm gradually became regular.

On the 9th, Lin Xia got the upgraded silver hammer, and he didn't plan to upgrade other farm tools for the time being, but he would not stop practicing his proficiency, but would directly reach the conditions for upgrading the mithril. I believe that by then, the economic situation would have improved. On the 10th, Lin Xia harvested an acre of potatoes and earned 570G.

Now all the large obstacles in the fields have been cleared and the weeds have been cut one by one. According to the previous plan, Lin Xia reclaims 5 mu of land every day and adds 5 mu of crops every day. As time goes by, the dwarfs' work proficiency is getting higher and higher, and the time they slack off is visibly reduced. Sometimes when the dwarfs are too busy, Lin Xia will help to finish watering the remaining land so as not to affect the harvest of crops.

The 11th was the 10th day of giving gifts to the goddess. After giving the gifts, a different scene appeared. After the routine thanks and invalid online selection were rejected, the goddess said to Lin Xia happily: "Oh, by the way, you often come to see me, I really feel bad if I don't give you a gift. I will give you a 'Fruit of Power'!" As she spoke, a red heart-shaped fruit appeared in front of the goddess and fell directly into Lin Xia's hands.

Lin Xia immediately enjoyed it without hesitation, and his physical strength limit increased by 10%. Here I want to explain that at the beginning, Lin Xia's initial physical strength value was 100. After two bonuses of the fruit of strength, the physical strength limit has now reached 2. It can be said that it is very easy to open 120 acres of land every day, and there is still energy left for other things. Unlike at the beginning, it took 5 hours to open 4 acres of land, and most of the physical strength was used up. When the physical strength is exhausted, continuing to use tools to work will increase the fatigue of the body. When the fatigue value reaches 2, the face will turn blue, the legs will become weak, and you will faint directly. When you wake up, you will appear in the hospital, and you will be greeted by the hospital's cold-faced doctor Dotte.

"I won't have such good things to give you next time." The goddess continued, "But you still have to come and play!" After that, the goddess disappeared into the fountain again.

Lin Xia left the spring contentedly and entered the mine.
