Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Dort was also very happy to receive the mushrooms from Lin Xia. When he heard Lin Xia's request to buy more potions, Dort agreed without hesitation, but asked again: "You brought so many potions this time, have you used them all up?"

"Oh~" Lin Xia was very sad when talking about this, "Not only are all my potions used up, but the food I brought with me is also used up. It's almost not enough." So they only went down to the 30th floor and didn't dare to go any further.

"There are many monsters in the mines there, and they can attack with magic. Not only do you consume your physical strength when using weapons, but being hit by monsters also consumes your vitality. You know the effects of the potions and food I brought. They can restore physical strength, but they have no effect on restoring vitality. The few that can restore fatigue can barely hold out for a while. So..."

Dot understood. He looked at the purple mushroom in his hand and had a more urgent idea in his mind. He had to work harder to develop a potion with more comprehensive effects! However -

"Lin Xia, the purple mushrooms you brought this time are very good. I will work hard with my colleagues to see if we can add vitality recovery function to the original potion. However, the raw materials are still a bit scarce. I heard you mention before that most of the raw materials in Pelican Town have certain properties. I want to issue a task, which is to collect the raw materials there for research. We will settle the price based on the quantity and variety of the materials brought back. Are you willing to take this task?"

Lin Xia was happy. This was a good opportunity to make money. Next spring, she only had to plant all the crops on 1-2 days, and then she could entrust the dwarfs with the care and harvesting. She could take on the task of collecting the crops herself. The hospital's rewards were generally generous, so this business was worth it.

Lin Xia happily agreed and asked, "Did you see the mayor's new task column on the notice board? Why didn't he post the task on the notice board?"

Dot replied with a smile: "Isn't this just a sudden thought when I saw the purple mushrooms you sent me today? I will report to the leaders of the General Hospital during the meeting today. After the reward ratio is determined, the complete task will be posted in the task column. Anyone who is interested can take it!"

Lin Xia felt really bad. She thought she was the special one, but...

"By the way, Dot, I have used up all my own potions this time, and my pet's potions as well. Can I place an order directly with you?"

If you place an order here, you can enjoy a discount, but there is no discount at the Clucking House and the Sheep and Cow Ranch. Lin Xia's abacus was clicking.

"No." Dot shook his head grimly. "Regarding animal medicines, we have outsourced them all to animal dealers. The hospital can no longer sell directly."

Lin Xia: ... Does the division of labor have to be so clear?

Lin Xia left the hospital in a better mood than a worse mood, taking the newly earned 200 million yuan with her. Due to the high demand for the medicine she ordered, Dotte asked her to come back in three days to pick it up.

She looked at the sky and it was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so she immediately rode to Gotz's house. She wanted to celebrate the New Year in the villa in the town, so she couldn't waste any more time.

When they arrived at Gotz's house, Gotz was still planing wood diligently as usual. When he heard that Lin Xia had saved enough money to build a villa, he immediately praised her highly.

"You are so amazing! Lin Xia, I have never seen anyone who can save so much money so quickly after just one year in Mineral Town. Not only did you expand the house in the ranch to the largest size, but you were also able to build an extra villa for yourself. You are really amazing!"

Brandon, who was in a parasite state nearby: I feel like I've been implicated, but there's no evidence.

"Haha, luck, luck, pure luck." Lin Xia was proud in her heart, and said with a reserved look, "Well, Gotz, besides 1000 million in cash, do you need any other materials to build the villa? Oh, and how many days will it take to complete it?"

"In addition to cash, we also need 999 pieces of wood and 999 pieces of stone. It will take a total of three days to complete. We can start tomorrow morning, and you can move in on the 3th!"

"Awesome~" Lin Xia exclaimed sincerely, "You only need three days to build a villa! I said before that the carpenter in Pelican Town, that woman named Robin, is also very good. I looked at her construction list and basically everything can be completed within three days. I didn't expect that, Gotz, you are not much behind!"

Gotz smiled and said, "Hearing you say that, Robin is really amazing. This is because the first-level villa is relatively simple. If you expand to level 2 and level 3 later, it will take more time. But I will try my best to improve my work efficiency and try to compress it to 3 days."

It seems that Lin Xia’s words also brought pressure to Gotz!

"Lin Xia, the wood you left with me before can be used directly to build the villa this time, and there will be some left over! But do you have enough stone?"

Lin Xia said confidently: "Before we go to Daigo Town, I can't guarantee it, but when we come back from there, there will be enough stone. I will go down to the mine to smash the ore. There is not much ore, but there will be a lot of stone. There is also a quarry there. Once I use my blessing hammer, I can smash the whole quarry with just two hammers. It saves a lot of effort!"

"That's good!"

Lin Xia was very proud. Where do you think those antiques and strange things of hers came from? They were all various crystals knocked out from the quarry and found by Clint.

After the 1000 million was deducted, Lin Xia was instantly left with only about 500 million. It took less than a day for him to become a multi-millionaire and it was all gone. It was really unsatisfying!

Seeing that Goetz was about to prepare for tomorrow's work, Lin Xia suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Goetz, can the farmland on my ranch be upgraded to level 2?"

When Gotz heard this, he calculated in his mind and shook his head, "It's not time yet! Lin Xia, you came to Mineral Town on the 1st of spring this year, right? It will take a full year before you can upgrade. Besides, the ranch can only be upgraded in spring, not in winter."

"Then I will start planting in the spring. If you upgrade in the spring, won't it affect the quality of the crops?" Lin Xia became anxious.

"Hehe~" Gotz comforted him, "No, as long as we upgrade it before the crops are harvested, you don't have to worry too much!"

"Oh, okay!" Lin Xia understood.

"Oh, since you've asked, in order to avoid the problem of insufficient preparation materials, I'll tell you in advance so that you can prepare in advance when you have time."

"Okay!"

"The most important thing for upgrading farmland is nutrient soil. I will be responsible for purchasing it when the time comes. You just need to prepare cash. The other things are wood and stone. Wood requires 427 pieces and stone requires 349 pieces. Because you are upgrading farmland, I don't recommend you use the high-quality wood I have here. It's too wasteful. You can just cut down some ordinary wood."

"How long will it take to upgrade? How much cash will it cost?"

"It's not a lot of money, just 2G, which you definitely don't need. The upgrade will take 3 days."

Lin Xia: ... Gotz should change his name to Go3Days.
