Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After bidding farewell to the hospital duo, Lin Xia reflected as she went home. She realized that she had become somewhat attached to hospital beds recently and did not want to come to the hospital again in the short term.

It just so happens that I am not short of money recently, so I can stop hunting for the time being. The key is that after I hunt, I cannot eat the animals except selling them, and the tools are not handy, right?

Tomorrow I will find Saibala to upgrade my bow and arrow set. If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools, right!

While comforting myself in my heart, I finally arrived home.

I put the mountain products in the backpack into the shipping box, checked whether the animals had returned to the house, cleared the weeds that were blocking the growth of grass, and cut the grass into a chessboard shape to ensure the greatest growth advantage for the grass.

When it comes to growing forage grass, we are professionals, haha!

Early in the morning, Goetz came with various tools to expand the house.

In the noisy environment, Lin Xia calmly finished her breakfast and went out to prepare animal products.

The baby rabbit has been pregnant for 5 days and will give birth tomorrow morning; and Cluckawoodle No. 4 (that is, the chicken with a maximum favorability of 7 stars) will also reach adulthood tomorrow, and will be able to hatch another 8-star chick tomorrow.

Today is the 9th of summer, Wednesday, and the mysterious traveling merchant Ban will sell goods on the 2nd floor of the hotel. Last Wednesday, Lin Xia went to see the ordinary goods and didn’t want to buy anything, but she got "Ban’s favorite thing" again a few days ago.

I decided to verify it today. What is the key? What will happen?

Although Huo An, who was also a traveling businessman, had dissuaded Lin Xia at the time and asked Lin Xia to continue selling things to him, given Huo An's greedy nature, Lin Xia did not quite believe him and decided to give it a try!

After picking the ripe grapes and apples from the fruit trees in the yard, collecting the honey, and letting the small animals out to find food on their own, Lin Xia continued to go to the back mountain.

After the routine visit of the goddess and the kappa, they continued to inspect their two pit traps.

Although I made a plan yesterday to stop hunting for the time being, if by some luck an animal falls into the pit, I can’t let it go!

Lin Xia was already familiar with the route to the traps, so he didn't waste much time. After inspecting them one by one, he found no animals in the traps. However, a piece of the cover of one of the traps had fallen off. Lin Xia observed it and found chicken paw prints. The animal hadn't run away, so it must be a pheasant that can fly.

There was no other way. The pits certainly could not trap flying prey. Lin Xia added some weeds to cover it up and some grass, but he definitely did not put any feed in there.

I don’t believe that when I set up the hanging net in the future and put feed in it, even if you have wings, I can’t catch you with my net.

After a walk around, I didn't gain much. I just picked some ordinary mountain products. I don't plan to go deep into the mountains recently, so I'll go out and find a class!

I went home first, put the mountain products into the shipping box, and put the fruits and honey into the refrigerator. Then I took a few more ores, and asked Saibala to upgrade the bow and arrows.

Thanks to the big wild boar's thick skin and flesh, her bow and arrow upgrade proficiency has reached the gold level.

Then take your favorite things from work and leave.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that Saibala did not sit at the counter as usual after completing the task commission.

She searched around and finally found him in the workshop.

"Are you here?" Sabara stopped what he was doing, washed his hands, and walked out. "This is your Mithril Axe. It has been upgraded. Take it."

"Thank you! Saibala~" After Lin Xia took the axe, she put it directly into the backpack toolbar without even looking at it, then took out the bow and arrow and said, "Saibala, I believe you should have known yesterday, right? This bow and arrow needs to be upgraded, there are too few arrows, not enough!"

"Ah~" Saibala sighed deeply, "I know, I have already started the preparations. I knew you would definitely talk about this today. Leave it to me, what level do you plan to upgrade the bow to this time?"

"I want to upgrade to Mithril directly, but my proficiency is not enough. The best I can upgrade to now is Gold."

"Gold is not bad either. The golden bow can shoot two arrows at a time! The range is also increased to 2 meters, and the lethality is greatly increased!"

"Really?" Lin Xia was surprised this time. She could have expected that the range of the bow would be increased after upgrading, but she did not expect that it could also increase the number of arrows.

But the next moment, Lin Xia was terrified again——

"How many arrows do I need to shoot this? Saibala!"

Sabara looked at Lin Xia's horrified expression and laughed out loud, "Don't worry, no matter how much you use, it won't be more than what you used this time.

The reason why you need to shoot so many holes this time~" Thinking of the dense holes on the wild boar's body yesterday, Saibalaka paused for a moment, and then chose to skip, "The lethality of your previous bow and arrow was too weak. The lethality of one arrow was only 10 points, while the gold-level bow and arrow can reach 60 points of lethality at a time. Although you used two arrows, the lethality has increased by 3 times than before!

This is equivalent to saving 4 arrows! Moreover, the upgraded arrows will be more durable and will not delay your recycling.

But if you are worried, you can order more arrows as backup. But I think the standard set of arrows for the golden bow has 20 arrows, which should be enough for you, right? "

"Not enough!" Lin Xia said firmly. If he encountered such a thick-skinned animal again, or was unlucky enough to encounter several large animals at once, 20 arrows would not be enough. He could only shoot 10 times. "At least 200 arrows will be enough!"

Saibala: . . . . . . Although it is true that doing so many jobs is to take care of my own business, but it is not challenging to always do the same small things!

"Lin Xia, I think that instead of stockpiling so many arrows and worrying about not having enough, why don't you practice archery more? As long as your archery skills are good enough, you can hit the vital point with one arrow. You don't need to rely on the tactic of using a large number of arrows! The old ranchers used to only bring 3 arrows at most every time they went out. If they had more, they would be afraid that they would rust!"

Heartbroken!

"I also want to improve my archery skills quickly, but I haven't reached that level yet. Now I can only rely on the sea of ​​arrows to save my life. Otherwise, you might see a few holes in my body next time, and they're big holes!"

"Okay, I'll make one for you, but one golden arrow is not cheap. Are you sure you want 200 of them?" Sabala thought, this girl was very poor last time, so this time she would do anything to save her life?

Lin Xia asked cautiously, "How much does one arrow cost?"

“弓升级成金弓，是3000G+1块金矿；金箭每10支1000G+1块金矿，你要200支金箭的话，就需要G+20块金矿；加上弓的价格就是一共需要G+21块金矿了！你确定要这么多？”

Lin Xia gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!" for the sake of her life.

"But don't worry, the golden arrows this time won't be damaged as thoroughly as the wooden arrows last time. You can upgrade them later. Every 10 arrows will only cost 500G plus the corresponding upgrade ore!" Saibala comforted.

"That's good!" Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this!
