Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After saying goodbye to Karen and her daughter, we went to the church. After entering, we saw a large auditorium with a high ceiling and a distinct European style. There were benches on both sides! After the benches, the priest was in the front!

"Hello, Father!" Lin Xia greeted, "I am the new owner of the ranch, my name is Lin Xia!"

"Hello, Lin Xia! I'm Carter!" The priest smiled kindly, his whole face bathed in divine light (overthinking), and said gently, "Welcome to this town. If you have any troubles or questions, you can come to me at any time! God will answer your questions!"

Lin Xia...

As a child who grew up under the red flag, I still don’t have much faith in God! However…

"Okay, Carter! I will!" This did not delay Lin Xia's performance. "Carter, nice to meet you. This is a gift for you. I hope you like it!"

"Thank you. I just happen to be unemployed. Thank you for your kindness." Carter said with a smile!

After saying goodbye to Carter, we walked out of the church and turned left into a small path, which led to the dwarf’s cabin, a pointed-roof cabin full of childlike fun. It was very cute!

As soon as you enter, you will see a row of very small beds placed against the wall, and in front of each bed there is a dwarf of the corresponding color! Say hello to each dwarf from right to left, and after getting to know them, you will get the following information about the dwarf:

1. Cyan Dwarf - Aqua - Birthday: Spring 26

2. Yellow Dwarf - Gulidi - Birthday: Autumn 10

3. Blue Dwarf - Zhuokaq - Birthday: Spring 15

4. Purple Dwarf - Bordeaux - Birthday: Spring 4

5. Orange Dwarf - Nappi - Birthday: Winter 22

6. Red Dwarf - Xiefu Year - Birthday: Autumn 14

7. Green Dwarf - Dimitri - Birthday: Summer 16

Now, each of them has an initial 1-star favorability towards Lin Xia. After giving each of them wheat flour, their favorability has not changed. This will definitely take several days to accumulate. However, tomorrow, Spring 4th, is Bordeaux's birthday. I think that giving gifts on this day will increase his favorability much more than usual. Let's try it tomorrow. When the favorability reaches 3 stars, you can ask it for help!

The dwarves can help with three things, namely watering, harvesting, and taking care of animals. But first of all, the favorability must reach 3 stars or above, otherwise the dwarves will ignore you. Secondly, the dwarves' work also has proficiency. In the early stage, their proficiency is very low, and they can't do much work, which is commonly known as laziness. Then you can't do anything about it because they are helping voluntarily. Finally, if you think your favorability has reached the level where you can help, and you only ask them for help without maintaining the relationship, that is, if you don't continue to give gifts, your favorability will drop quickly! You can't want the horse to run, but don't want to feed the horse grass!

After Lin Xia finished brushing up her favorability today and emptied the wheat flour in her backpack, there were still two spaces left in her backpack, which was just right for her to go to the beach to pick yellow and orange herbs before returning home. After all, her purse was empty now!

So I quickly ran to the beach to collect herbs, and then returned to the ranch to put the herbs into the shipping box. It was almost 1pm, so I hurried back to the house to eat. After dinner, I replaced the seeds that had been delivered to the tool box into the tool bag, took 1 bag of radish, 2 bag of potato, and bags of cucumber, and started sowing immediately.

Sowing is easy. Lin Xia stood in the middle of the 9-square grid and sprinkled a bag of seeds. The seeds were evenly spread in the 9 squares. Soon the seeds were scattered and today's farming work was over. I hurried back to the house, took the axe, sickle and fishing rod, and rushed to the back mountain. Today's mountain products have not been picked yet!

Lin Xia followed the route he took yesterday, cutting branches and digging herbs along the way. He first came to the bamboo forest and pulled bamboo shoots. Although herbs were more valuable, they were scarce, so bamboo shoots were more plentiful and easier to obtain. While pulling, he suddenly realized that he could not pull any more bamboo shoots. What was going on? Lin Xia was shocked. There was a thick bamboo shoot in front of him, but he could not pull it out even when he reached out his hand. It was weird.

Suddenly, Lin Xia remembered something and opened the backpack panel. It turned out that the backpack was full. That's right, the backpack has a total of 3 item slots, and now there are 6 pheasant eggs, 8 green herbs, and 99 bamboo shoots. It seems that the upper limit of a slot is 99. If there are more, another slot will be occupied. Well, it's getting late, almost 4 o'clock, I have to go back to ship the goods first, otherwise I will miss today's shipping time and can't settle today's goods.

Lin Xia immediately rushed back to the ranch and came to the chicken and rabbit hut to deliver the goods to the delivery box in the hut to prevent the time from exceeding 5 o'clock and failing to settle the account. After delivering the goods, looking at the empty hut and the feeding trough, I really want to raise chickens quickly! It is not even 5 o'clock now, and it will be time to have dinner in a while. Lin Xia thought, I will clean up some land for planting, and after dinner, I will go to the hot spring to recover some physical strength, and by the way, make pheasant eggs into hot spring eggs to nourish myself.

So, I carried my axe and sickle and searched for a few acres of land without large obstacles. I cut the weeds and branches on it, and moved the small stones aside. I would smash them together later. Otherwise, what should I do? I didn't bring a hammer in my backpack. After finishing the work and eating dinner, I immediately set off for the hot spring with my fishing rod.

I picked a bunch of moon tears grass on the roadside and gave it to the goddess later. I came to the waterfall and presented the flowers to the goddess first (since the first time I was rejected because I didn't meet the online conditions, the goddess never asked Lin Xia whether she was online again). I came to the place where hot spring eggs were made and made all 6 pheasant eggs into hot spring eggs. I entered the hot spring and began to recover my strength. It was so enjoyable.

This hot spring is an open-air hot spring with two pools for men and women. However, as it is close to night, the residents of the town generally do not come to soak. While soaking in the hot spring, I took out a hot spring egg. This is the first time I have tried hot spring eggs. It has been a long time since I last ate eggs. After enjoying the hot spring eggs and the hot spring, it was close to 7 o'clock in the evening, and Lin Xia started to go back.

It was 7: pm when we arrived at the ranch. There happened to be a river at the edge of the ranch. Lin Xia took out his fishing rod and wanted to try it out. So he started fishing by the river. It can only be said that the result is predictable with a beginner fishing rod and a novice. Finally, after casting the rod more than times, he caught a very small fish. Lin Xia put away the rod and put the fish into the shipping box. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

Go inside and sleep, and do it tomorrow!

Before going to bed, Lin Xia took a look at today's cargo settlement:

Meatball powder 1 pack 100G

Honey 1 50g

18 herbs 1800G

Bamboo shoots 99 pieces 4950G

Total income today: 6900

Adding the remaining 20G, the total assets are now 6920G!

The harvest today was pretty good, and Lin Xia fell asleep happily!

Unfortunately, Lin Xia didn’t know that a bolt from the blue was waiting for her the next day!
