Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After Lin Xia finished the call, she was about to say goodbye to Dart, but she found Dart and his daughter Lin talking on the other side. She could vaguely hear Cliff's name, so she couldn't go over. She could only wait until they finished talking before going over. Although Lin Xia didn't go over, it didn't stop her from eating melons.

Dart: "Ah~ How long can Cliff stay here?"

Lin: "Ah? What happened? So sudden..."

Dart: "Sometimes he looks very miserable. Maybe he went through something before coming here. Otherwise he wouldn't be like that. I hope he can gradually forget those unhappy things in this small town. It would be best if he could live here forever."

Lin: "Yeah... Last time I went to the church to deliver food to Carter, Carter told me that Cliff is very shy and not good at communicating with others, so he is afraid of interacting with people. Now he rarely talks to people in the town. Currently, he can only communicate normally with Carter, so he specially asked me to help him so that he can communicate more with people in the town."

Lin Xia’s inner thoughts: It turns out that Carter asked everyone to communicate more with Cliff. It seems that Cliff really has a bit of social anxiety.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Cliff's voice suddenly came, which not only scared the father and daughter, but also scared Lin Xia. You can't talk about people behind their backs, right!

Dart said awkwardly: "No...nothing..."

Lin said calmly, "No, we are talking about how long you can stay here."

Cliff was a little flustered: "Huh?"

Lin: "You can stay here as long as you want. My father and I have no objection."

Dart: “Yeah, how’s it going?”

Cliff was touched and said, "Uncle Dart, Lin, thank you. But is it really okay?"

Dart said happily, "Ah! Of course!"

Lin was also very happy: "Please take care of me in the future, Cliff."

Lin Xia complained in her heart again: This is such unexpected dog food!

Lin Xia wiped her face and waited until Cliff and Lin left before she found Dart to say goodbye.

After coming out, Lin Xia planned to go to the town library to see if there were any books about the plants that grow here. He wanted to see what plants grow in this town, or what plants are suitable for growth, so that he could learn more about them when he went to the back mountain in the future.

Arriving at the library, there were really few people here, and of course the library was not very big. Mary was very happy to see Lin Xia, and quickly asked Lin Xia to look around. After Lin Xia responded gratefully, she began to browse. There was only one row of bookshelves on the first floor, most of which were books about crop planting, detailing the growth cycle of crops in each season, the number of watering times, etc., as well as crop planting methods; there were also two bookshelves, one introducing horse racing and cockfighting skills; the other was about the skills of playing games with dwarves, which could be said to be quite practical.

Lin Xia quickly came to the second floor, where there were two rows of bookshelves. The first row contained "Effects of Props", which introduced the effects of various props at different levels; "About Obtaining a Kitchen" introduced the ways to obtain a kitchen and various kitchen utensils; "Shops in Mineral Town" detailed all the business places in the town, their business hours, business categories, etc.; "Household Equipment in Mineral Town" contained information about how to obtain, use and effects of phonographs, bathrooms, vases, refrigerators, storage cabinets, etc.; "Animal Breeding Methods" introduced the breeding methods, growth cycles, breeding, etc. of various animals; "About Fishing" introduced the selection of fishing places and fish varieties, etc.; "Mining Fields" introduced the locations of the two major mines in Mineral Town and the varieties of ores produced by each mine. In addition to the Quan Mine that Lin Xia often goes to, there is also a Lake Mine, which is a mine in the center of the lake where the Kappa is located. One must wait until winter when the lake is frozen before entering.

This is the content of the books on the first row of bookshelves. The second row has "Little Helper Dwarfs" which introduces the work that dwarfs can help people do; "Changes in Physical Strength and Fatigue" is a very practical book. It introduces that in normal weather, physical strength is used first when working, and fatigue is not increased until physical strength is exhausted. Only when you continue to work will the body's fatigue increase. Once the fatigue reaches 90, your face will turn blue. If you continue to work until the fatigue reaches 100, you will faint directly. When you wake up again, you will be in the hospital on the third day. In addition, if you work outdoors after 10 o'clock in the evening, or in rainy and snowy weather, you will consume physical strength and increase fatigue at the same time. In addition, it introduces ways to restore physical strength and fatigue. In addition to hot springs, you can also build a bathroom at home to take a bath, build a stove in winter to burn fire, and put flowers in a vase to restore a certain amount of physical strength and fatigue.

The last bookshelf introduces the shipping amount of all products. At this time, Lin Xia found the fifth real jade in the corner of the last bookshelf. What a surprise! There is a golden house in the book!

Lin Xia happily put away the Jade of Truth, and after roughly knowing the types of crops that can be grown in this town in each season, she planned to go home for lunch. When she reached the stairs and was about to go downstairs, Mary's voice came from downstairs.

Mary: "Oh, hello, Gray!"

Gray: Hello.

Mary: "People in this town don't seem to like reading very much, so few people come here. I'm very happy that you can come."

Lin Xia complained in her heart again: You didn’t seem so happy when I came!

Gray: "Why on earth? There are so many interesting books here."

Mary: "I'm glad you said that. Oh, yes. Actually, as a personal interest, I'm writing a novel, but I haven't shown it to anyone much... If you can, could you read it and tell me what you think?"

Gray: "You are writing a novel? That's amazing..."

It must be said that Gray's emotional intelligence is many times higher than that of the young master of the chicken farm. I don't know why the beautiful Karen fell in love with that stubborn guy! Lin Xia was deeply moved again.

Mary said shyly, "It's not that exaggerated. How about you read it?"

Gray: "If you don't mind, please let me read it."

Mary: "Great! I'll give it to you later."

Gray: “Okay.”

Lin Xia: Should I go down or not? That’s the problem.

Lin Xia is almost eating too much dog food that is everywhere!

Finally, Lin Xia felt her hungry stomach and went downstairs. She said goodbye to Mary and rushed home to eat.
