Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

I silently put down the catalog, said goodbye to Muchi, and continued to the beach! It took another half an hour to finally reach the beach entrance. What I saw was a golden beach with very fine and soft sand! In the distance was the blue sea, the sea breeze was blowing, and the tip of my nose was full of the salty smell of sea water! The spring sea breeze was still a little cold. Along the coast, there were a few clumps of herbs rustling in the wind! The herbs on the beach were a little different from the herbs in the mountains. The colors were different, yellow and orange!

On the left side of the beach entrance, there are several seaside shops built side by side, full of beach resort style! There is a small house with a wave-colored roof and a wooden house made of pure wood in its original color close to the sea. There is also a small port with a white boat docked next to it! I don’t know where this boat can go, I’ll come and ask another day!

I picked all the herbs I saw along the coast. I picked 2 yellow grasses and 2 orange grasses in total. Their information is as follows: Yellow grass - can be picked on the coast. After eating, it can eliminate fatigue, but physical strength will decrease. Orange grass - can be picked on the coast. After eating, physical strength and fatigue will not change.

After picking the herbs, Lin Xia came to the door of a wooden house near the sea. It was strange that there was no sign in front of the door. Whose house was this? Lin Xia entered the cabin with doubts, and heard a familiar mellow voice muttering: "Well... What should I do with this? It's a pity to throw it away..." It turned out to be the recipient Zach!

"Hi, Zach!" Lin Xia greeted, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, isn't this Lin Xia?" Zach said in surprise, "You've come just in time! I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Lin Xia asked.

"It's like this. I picked up a fishing rod." Zach said, "It was left by a good friend of mine who loved fishing. But he said he wanted to catch all kinds of fish in the world, and he hasn't been back for a long time. And I don't like fishing. Do you like fishing?"

"I like it!" Lin Xia said in surprise!

"Then I'll give it to you!" Zack said generously, handing the fishing rod to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia took the fishing rod, thanked him gratefully, and asked, "Is this your home?"

"Yes!" Zach replied, "I live here. Many goods shipped from outside are also delivered to me first, and I deliver them to the villagers' homes. As for the goods received from each of your homes, except for those purchased by the residents of the town, the remaining goods will be loaded onto cargo ships from here and shipped to other towns. If you need to find me in the future, come here. I will be here from 11 am to 5 pm."

"Okay!" Lin Xia responded happily, "It's getting late, I'll go back first! Bye!"

"Goodbye! Be safe on the road!" Zach said with concern. To be honest, Zach's personality is really different from his appearance!

Lin Xia thought as she walked out the door. It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. She had to go home quickly to put the herbs in her backpack into the shipping box, otherwise she would not be able to settle the bill today. She also wanted to buy as many seeds as possible tomorrow!

Lin Xia ran as fast as she could, but her energy was draining away quickly. Fortunately, she finally got back to the ranch at 4:45, emptied her backpack quickly, and collected the honey from the honeycomb on the apple tree and put it into the delivery box. After wiping her sweat, Zach appeared at the ranch gate at 5 o'clock on time, came to the delivery box, saw Lin Xia and said, "I'm here to receive the goods!"

"Yeah!" Lin Xia didn't need to call him again. She went back to the house to put away the fishing rod. She didn't have time to go fishing. After changing to a sickle, she went directly to the nearest field to check the situation of the field. Since she was going to plant seeds tomorrow, she had to clear the land for planting today. Tomorrow morning, she would spend 2 to 3 hours to clear the land, then go to the grocery store to buy seeds, and then come back to plant seeds and water them directly. Time is very tight!

One packet of seeds can be spread over one mu of land at a time (i.e. 3*3=9 grids). Lin Xia's current farm tools are only elementary, and can only handle the lowest-level weeds, branches and small stones. They cannot handle wooden stakes, large boulders and large rocks. Therefore, it is necessary to first select a field without large obstacles, clean up the small things on it, and then open it directly tomorrow morning. Soon, Lin Xia selected 4 mu of land that met the requirements and began to bend down to clean it up. First, he used a sickle to cut the weeds in the 4 mu of land, then hammered off the small boulders with a hammer, and finally chopped off the remaining branches with an axe. The 4 mu of land has been cleaned up. Now his physical strength is close to the critical line. His chest hurts and his breathing is rapid. He can't work anymore.

Lin Xia immediately went back home. It was already 8 o'clock in the evening. She had not expected that the efficiency of the primary farm tools was so low. It seemed that upgrading had to be implemented as soon as possible. After all, it is an eternal truth that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood!

来到餐桌前，一边吃着系统提供的制式面包，一边调出游戏界面，查看一天的成果。今天一共采到6株药草（2青+2黄+2橙），每株100G，共获得600G；竹笋拔到45个，每个50G,共获得2250G；蜂蜜1个50G。现在总资金已经变成了3400G！

Lin Xia squinted her eyes happily. She could buy more things tomorrow! She would buy fewer seeds for the time being, after all, she had to save money. And she should go and get in touch with the dwarfs tomorrow. Without the dwarfs to help water the plants, she would not be able to make a fortune relying solely on her current primary labor force.

Go to the item level table and find that the tools used today have different proficiency levels, sickle 10%; hammer 5%; axe 20%. There is still some distance from the goal. Considering that the tool upgrade needs several days and cannot be used, and farmland reclamation is inseparable from the hoe, and hammering ore is also inseparable from the hammer, these two can wait and upgrade. As for weeds and crops, although the sickle can only cut one grid at a time, it can also be completed. It's nothing more than spending a little more time, and you can also not upgrade it for the time being. There is no rush for the fishing rod, so the first thing that needs to be upgraded is the axe, and the wooden stakes in the field need to be cleaned up first. So the proficiency of the axe needs to be practiced first!

After Lin Xia had a clear understanding of the current situation, she decided to take a rest first, otherwise she would be in trouble if she ran out of energy tomorrow!
