Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

As the peanuts and corn were continuously harvested, Lin Xia shipped some, but not much, 100 kilograms of peanuts and 100 corns.

Lin Xia remembered that as long as the shipments of each crop she grew reached 100, the grocery store would update it with new crop seeds.

Now that the peanuts and corn were dried, Lin Xia immediately made 20 kilograms of fried peanuts and popcorn with the corn. In the afternoon, when she went to learn how to make desserts with Anna, she brought two portions of each, ready to give one to each of them.

Today we are learning about cookies, also known as biscuits. It is said that children here especially like to eat them.

And they can be used soon, because during the Pumpkin Festival in autumn, children will come to your door to ask for cookies, and there is a tradition of giving cookies to children on that day!

After cooking, Lin Xia shared her snacks with the two of them, and the three of them happily enjoyed afternoon tea.

Since tomorrow is Ox Day, all the shops in the town are closed, so after leaving Anna's house, Lin Xia immediately went to the grocery store to check out the newly added pumpkin seeds.

I felt depressed after reading it. It takes 14 days for the pumpkin to mature. I won’t be able to plant it this year. I can only look forward to next year.

There is no need to rush to buy them today. Let's stock up on seeds when summer is almost over.

The Ox Festival on the 20th starts at 10 am and ends at 6 pm.

Lin Xia was not in a hurry. She did what she was supposed to do step by step, and then came to Rose Square with various snacks and juices.

Anyway, there was no chance that her Moo Moo No. 1 would win, so Lin Xia watched the judging in the square with ease.

A lot of ranchers came today, and the cows they brought were all well raised. In fact, my own Moo Moo No. 1 is also very good, but the intimacy level is very average.

So Lin Xia looked at the cows raised by others, and took out her own peanuts to share with the ranchers, learning from them.

I also learned a lot of tips, for example, in addition to the grass that is placed in the feed trough every day, you can also feed the cows a portion of grass by hand, which is also very useful for increasing intimacy;

Then brush their fur. Don’t brush them when they are eating, as this will affect their mood for eating.

Then grazing is also crucial. Grazing in sunny weather is conducive to increasing intimacy, but grazing is absolutely not allowed when it rains or snows.

In addition, Lin Xia also asked these ranchers whether they raised other animals besides cattle, and the answer was of course yes.

However, the most common animals they raise are still conventional dairy cows, sheep and alpacas. Only a small number of people raise other breeds of cattle and sheep, and no one raises pigs.

It seems that people here really don’t like pork!

We can only wait for news from Muchi.

Through communication and the exchange of snacks, Lin Xia also got to know several experienced ranchers, exchanged contact information with them, and said that he might raise pigs himself in the future, and they could exchange experiences then.

Lin Xia could see that they didn't seem very interested in pigs, but she was absolutely confident that as long as they tasted pork dishes, they would definitely change their mindset.

After the Ox Festival selection was over, Lin Xia went straight home because someone would send Moo Moo No. 1 back.

Tomorrow is the day for pineapple harvest. Lin Xia has planted 35 acres of pineapples. In order not to delay the harvest tomorrow, Lin Xia has specially arranged 3 more dwarfs to harvest, and the remaining 4 dwarfs to water the plants, and will resume their daily schedule the day after tomorrow.

The 21st is destined to be a busy day.

In the morning, when Lin Xia went to the back mountain to deliver gifts, she once again had the opportunity to receive a return gift.

Today is the 50th time I have given gifts to the goddess. This time, the gift from the goddess is no longer white grass, but -

"Lin Xia, thank you for your gift. In return, I can answer one of your questions!" said the goddess gently.

Lin Xia was overjoyed. She actually had a lot of questions, but the one she wanted to know most was about winning the prize, so she immediately asked, "Goddess, I want to ask, I received a winning notice before, and the prize I received was indeed 'the class's favorite thing', what's the story behind this winning?"

"Oh~ That's it! I'm the one giving out the prizes! As for the selection mechanism for the winners, it's related to the number of times you shop! As for the specific relationship, I can't tell you, I can't cheat! Well, thank you for the gift, I like it very much, see you next time!"

After saying this, the goddess disappeared in a radiant light.

It turns out that it is related to the number of times you shop. This is easy to solve. When you have free time, you can try it yourself!

However, there is no rush now, because even if I get the prize, I can’t afford to buy special items!

Lin Xia then came to the Kappa again. This time the Kappa did not disappear immediately, nor did it remain silent. Here it comes, it wants to return the gift to me, hehe...

What will it be? Will it be a special fruit again? Lin Xia is looking forward to it.

"Let me tell you something. In winter, if you go to the 39th to 79th floor of the Lake Mine, the floor ending in 9, you have a chance to dig up cursed farm tools. You can come and try it in winter. Okay, don't come here again!"

After saying that, he disappeared.

Nani?

Cursed farm tools?

I haven’t heard of it. Well, I’m going to find Saibala today, so I might as well ask him!

After giving the gifts, Lin Xia returned to the ranch. She had a lot to do today, so she decided not to check the traps.

After arriving home and taking the ore, he went to find Cebala first. After getting back the last mithril tool - the hoe, he immediately asked Cebala about the cursed farm tools.

"Cursed farm tools, these are farm tools that are above Mithril level. They are level 5 farm tools like Blessed farm tools, only below Sage farm tools." Sabara said slowly.

"There are also blessings for farm tools?" Lin Xia exclaimed. "Cursing farm tools doesn't sound like a very auspicious word. Why did Kappa tell me this? Curses won't have any bad effects on people, right?"

"Cursed farm tools are very powerful, but using them once consumes a lot of energy. Once you use them, you are basically one step away from going to the hospital. So normal people will not choose to use cursed farm tools." Saibala said carefully, "But if you want more powerful farm tools, you must have them first.

Because you can only get the blessed tools if you get the cursed tools first."

"I see?" Lin Xia suddenly realized, "Then how do I do it?"

"If you need to remove the curse, you can directly transform the cursed tools into blessed tools. When using blessed tools, their power is the same as that of cursed tools, but the physical strength consumed is very low. Of course, it is higher than that of mithril tools because the power it generates is much greater than that of mithril tools.

Moreover, the final Sage's Farm Tools also require Blessed Farm Tools and Sage's Stone to be successfully upgraded, so if you want to obtain Sage's Farm Tools, you need to obtain Cursed Farm Tools first."

"So how do we remove the curse?"

"The method of removing the curse from each farm tool is different. For details, once you get the cursed farm tool, you can ask Dot. He is a priest and knows the most about curses."
