Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

I opened the door and came out. It was 6 o'clock in the morning. The air was good. The sun had not yet risen. The weeds in the field were covered with dew. Not far away was a grape tree (don't worry about why it is not a grapevine, but a grape tree, anyway, it is set up like this!), with bunches of purple grapes hanging on it. The purple ones are ripe, so they must be ready to be picked! I couldn't help but stretch myself and prepare to take the time to get familiar with the situation at home.

"Lin Xia! Did you hear what I said?" Eh? Lin Xia opened her eyes and saw the mayor, Thomas, wearing a fiery red coat, staring at her with a frown.

"I'm sorry, Mayor," Lin Xia said embarrassedly, "Please say it again, I was distracted just now!"

The mayor said helplessly: "Let me introduce you to the ranch and tell you how to manage it!"

"Okay, okay, Mayor."

So the mayor began to take Lin Xia to understand the situation of the ranch. There was a shipping box in front of the cabin. Anything that could be sold could be put into this box. At 5 pm every day, a consignee would come to collect the goods and settle the price.

To the right of the hut is the animal hut, which now has 8 stalls and can hold 8 animals, including cows and sheep. Next to the animal hut is the timber warehouse and stable. Every time you cut down branches and stumps, they will automatically turn into timber and enter the warehouse. One branch corresponds to one timber, and one stump corresponds to 6 timbers. However, stumps require an upgraded axe to be chopped.

Then the mayor took her to the front of the cottage, through the grape vines, there was a chicken coop, which was very small, with 4 feeding troughs, which could hold 4 chickens. There was also an incubator next to it. As long as there were eggs, they could be put in to incubate. Usually chicks would hatch after 3 days.

This is the fixed asset of the entire ranch. The next is the most important field. Now the field is full of weeds, stones, wood stakes and branches, and needs to be opened manually. Looking at such a large field, Lin Xia feels excited and a little distressed. After all, this is reality now, and you need to mine it piece by piece by yourself, which is different from playing games back then. However, after experiencing the days of starving to death due to lack of food, now it is very good.

"Lin Xia, don't be anxious at the beginning. First, clear some land and plant some vegetables. While working, you should also take a break. You have just arrived in our town. When you have time, get to know the neighbors. If you have any difficulties, just tell them. Everyone is very welcoming."

The mayor said kindly, "If you want to buy poultry, go to the chicken farm and find Lilia; if you want to buy cattle and sheep, go to the Pastoral Farm and find Muchi; if you want to buy seeds, food, etc., go to the grocery store, there are a wide variety of things there!"

"Well, thank you, Mayor!" Lin Xia said gratefully.

"By the way, you can farm, right?" the mayor suddenly asked a soul-searching question, "You've been living in the city before, and suddenly you come to our town to engage in farming. Can you do it?" The mayor's worry should come from yesterday's game plot. The game begins with the heroine getting tired of life in the big city and wanting to experience the leisurely life in the country, so she quit her job and came here without hesitation, only to take over a dilapidated ranch.

But the mayor had no idea that in just one day, the core inside was replaced by Lin Xia, who came from a world that was severely polluted and had lost normal food cultivation. Although Lin Xia had never farmed herself, she had seen her mother grow vegetables when she was a child, so she had basic common sense. Besides, this world was a game world with cheat codes, so what was there to be afraid of!

"Mayor, although I am a girl, you can't say I can't do it!" Lin Xia said mischievously.

The mayor...

"Okay, do your job well, and remember to come to me if you have any difficulties!" The mayor said, and walked away in a cool manner!

Lin Xia watched the mayor leave, and just as he turned around to go to the back hill, he saw another strong man with a beard coming. If anyone didn't know who he was, they would suspect that he was a protection fee collector. That's right, he was the man who came to collect the goods on time at 5 pm every day - Zack.

"Hello, you are Lin Xia, the new owner of the ranch, right?" Zack greeted, "I'm Zack. I will come here to settle the goods in the receiving box at 5 pm every day. You must put the goods in the box before 5 o'clock every day, so that I can settle the bill for you on the same day. By the way, I won't come here on holidays!" As he said that, he scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.

Lin Xia... Buddy, there's a huge gap between your appearance and your inner self. You're really two-faced!

Zack went on to say, "In addition to the one at the door, there is also one such shipping box in the animal house and the chicken house. When you raise animals in the future and collect the by-products, you can ship the goods directly in the house without having to run to the door. In addition to the agricultural and sideline products on the ranch, there are some mountain products and herbs that can be picked in the back mountain and by the sea. There are also fish where there is water. If you have time, you can go and have a look. Although our town is not big, it is rich in products!" As he spoke, he showed another silly smile!

"The hospital in Herb Town will buy it, but you don't have to sell it to the hospital. Put it all in the shipping box and I will distribute it." Zach said considerately. "By the way, there is a mining market near the spring. There are ores there. You have no income now, so you can also go there to knock some ores to sell. The forge needs a lot of ores. If you need to make any tools, you can find him. He is the best blacksmith in our town. There is nothing he can't do."

Lin Xia... The only blacksmith in town, wouldn’t his skills be the best?

"By the way, you must pay attention to your physical strength when working. When your face turns blue, you can't continue to work, otherwise you will faint, and you can't work normally the next day. Don't be greedy for temporary results. Delaying for a day will not make up for the loss!" Zach said seriously, "When you are physically exhausted, you must take medicine in time. The hospital has medicine to replenish physical strength and recover from fatigue. Although it is not cheap, the body is the capital of revolution, you know?"

Lin Xia quickly replied: "I know, I know, big brother, no, Zack, I will pay attention." This gangster's face looked at her without a trace of smile, which was really pressured.

Zach frowned at her, then sighed and said, "Forget it. I know you just got here and have no income yet. Potions are a bit of a luxury for you. There is another free way. Go to the spring. There is a hot spring there. Take a dip in it and you can recover some of your strength. Although the effect is not as fast as potions!"

"Okay, okay," Lin Xia replied quickly, "Thank you! I'll definitely remember it!"

"Then I'll go back. Good luck to you!" With that, Zack left!

Lin Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled. This guy has a face like a gangster boss, but he has a warm heart. This small town is great! You know, in modern society, people have learned to be indifferent, to protect themselves, and to calculate everything. And this game may be what people yearn for, so it has been so popular for so long.
