Ranch Story: Start Over

"Hmm? Feng Ling, Zhuo Ka Ke, you are here?"

Thomas was working at his desk to arrange signatures. Feng Ling leaned over and saw the information on the document at a glance.

It reads: "Identity certificate for alien creatures to travel into the human world."

There are seven magic crystal cards made of special chips below. They have not been blood-dropped for authentication. The validity period is tentatively set at five years, and can be renewed after five years. This is considered the most basic ID card.

The only difference from an ordinary person's identity document is that if it expires and is not renewed in advance, and someone is beaten to death in the human world, the perpetrator in the human world will not be held legally responsible.

"Uncle Thomas, is this the identification of the seven of them? It's quite exquisite."

"With this, they can enter and exit the offices in the human world freely. Normally, they can just wear the work clothes of their unit or robes and armor that show their identity."

Hearing this, Feng Ling suddenly realized that Zhuokak and the others needed work clothes to represent their status when living in the human world, but his ranch had just started and had not yet prepared such clothes.

"Zhokak, I'm so sorry! I didn't know there was such a thing as work clothes before. I'll go ask Aunt Lilia and the others later to see where I can make suitable work clothes."

Feng Ling said apologetically.

Facing Feng Ling's explanation, Zhuokak waved his hands nonchalantly and said:

"It's okay, Brother Feng. Actually, we seldom go out. There's no need to worry about the work clothes. These are just small matters."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the seven exquisite magic crystal cards again. These familiar magic crystal cards evoked Zhuokak's past memories.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Feng Ling with a firm gaze, and said solemnly:

"Brother Feng, I have made up my mind. When I return, I will convince everyone to move to the ranch and settle down. From now on, we will work wholeheartedly for the ranch."

His words revealed a determination and conviction, as if this decision had been brewing in his mind for a long time.

Feng Ling stared into Zhuokak's eyes, felt his sincerity and enthusiasm, and couldn't help but feel moved.

Thomas was very satisfied with Zhuokak's decision when he saw how sensible Zhuokak was:

"Feng Ling, is it difficult? Can you afford the salary for seven little guys to work for your ranch together?"

Looking at Thomas, Feng Ling made a rough estimate.

Previously, Zhuokak's employment salary was 24 per year, and it was calculated based on the adult goblin because Zhuokak was about to reach adulthood. And because of what happened yesterday, Lu Zhiyan's salary was increased from 20 to 30 before he left. Now old Lu is no longer in his old age, and has become much younger.

However, compared to Zhuokaq, his brothers and sisters are still young and relatively weak.

Feng Ling's financial situation is rather tight at the moment, but fortunately these seven dwarves are very hardworking and willing to work. As long as they gradually adapt to the work rhythm of the ranch, subsequent development will not be a problem.

"Zhuoka, how about this? Let your brothers and sisters come and do things for me. Their work content is similar to yours.

But since they are not yet adults, I can only treat them like children and make arrangements accordingly.

When the amount of work they complete reaches my expectations, I will naturally give them a raise. At present, your annual salary is 240,000 yuan, and your daily salary is 2,000 yuan, so for them, I have to cut their salary in half. "

Before he finished his words, there was a muffled "thump" sound, and Zhuokak instantly knelt on the ground, followed by a series of rapid and violent kowtows.

The speed of his movements shocked Feng Ling and Thomas.

Zhuokak's face was covered with tears, his body was shaking constantly, he cried and choked and said:

"Brother Feng, I really...really...thank you so much! You are willing to hire my underage brothers and sisters to work. This not only gives us a safe place to live, but also a job to survive.

"Slurp...slurp..." Sobbing

In fact, if you ask us to work for you for free, we are willing to do it!"

Thomas was not surprised to see Zhuokak kneeling and kowtowing. Instead, he showed a trace of emotion and explained to Feng Ling:

“When the goblins are underage, their strength is very weak and their talents have not yet been stimulated, so their training value is relatively low.

Moreover, since their mortality rate is extremely high, everything you do at this moment is like giving them a second life, in a selfless way.

Every 50 years, a terrible viral disaster will break out in their bodies, and they will most likely die of the disease. If they cannot resist this catastrophe, then all the value and efforts of their previous training will be in vain. "

Everyone has seen and remembered everything these little guys have done in Mineral Town over the years. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are part of Mineral Town.

However, due to a violent conflict between large-scale goblins and humans in a remote area, although these seven little guys have long been known to people, since that incident, everyone has adopted the attitude of "less trouble is worse than more trouble" and has deliberately reduced contact with them.

After all, no one wants to cause similar conflicts and disputes again. This cautious approach is both a way to learn from past lessons and a way to avoid unfavorable factors.

It's a bit like the cake-cutting incident.

It’s a bit like the virus incident in the original world.

The vast majority of compatriots implicated were treated with the same prejudice in the early days of those days.

"It's okay, Zhuokaq, my words count."

Feng Ling didn't care about those things. The curse virus of the goblin clan including Zhuokak could be solved by the system. It was not a problem. He could just go back and collect materials.

"Zhuoka, your salary is 24 a year. I've thought about it, let me build the dwarf hut at the ranch house. I will guarantee your living supplies for the next month.

The cost of building a dwarf house is 96 for your six brothers and sisters plus you. I will round up to 100 million and ask Uncle Gotz to build a better house for you."

After hearing what Feng Ling said, Zhuo Kak had no objection at all:

"Brother Feng, I have made the decision on behalf of my younger brothers and sisters. Just listen to me this time. We will be fine. You are in charge of everything regarding the ranch."

Thomas looked at the sensible Zhuokak and nodded, then handed the seven magic crystal cards to Feng Ling. At the same time, he took out seven sets of jewelry boxes from the drawer, blew away the dust on them and said:

“When the identities of the seven little guys were invalidated, they returned these unique identity storage rings. Although the space is not large, only 1 cubic meter, it can hold a lot of things.

But even though their identities were invalidated, they did not claim them as their own, and now, all seven jewelry boxes are returned to you.

Zhuoka, keep it well and remember to do the blood authentication when the time comes."

Zhuokak's eyes were filled with tears. He had finally waited for this day. He had been living outside without food for so long.

Being chased by wild beasts in the mountains;

The storm destroyed their shelter;

Huddled up in a cave and shivered in the extreme cold;

After so many hardships, everything is finally coming to an end.

He stood up, took the magic rings from Thomas with trembling hands, and gently touched the patterns in the rings. Finally, his family could return to the human world and live openly again.

"Thank you, Uncle Thomas. I have something else to trouble you with."

Feng Ling quickly told the problem he encountered.
