Ranch Story: Start Over

Feng Ling looked confident and sure of victory, which undoubtedly confirmed Dart's inner guess.

Dart thought to himself: I never thought that I would plot against my good brother together with my apprentice. Although this move is a bit evil, I still have to see what kind of trick this apprentice can come up with.

"Master, you already know the project I submitted for review, right?"

"Well, Zhizhi, what's wrong?"

"I spent an astonishing amount of materials during the research and development process before I succeeded. Take a look at these materials."

After saying that, Feng Ling took out his research notes from the storage box pendant he carried with him, without any intention of concealing it.

The notebook was filled with various ratio data and material names. Dart glanced through it, then hurriedly stood up and walked to the bookcase behind the desk to start looking for relevant information.

After searching through all the boxes and cabinets, Dart finally found a book called "Statistical Table of Mineral Town Products".

"Uh, Master! You even have something like this?"

"I mainly look at the food supply above. This statistical table is very detailed. Thomas made it many years ago. At that time, the mine had not collapsed yet. If you count it, the mine has collapsed for ten years. During this period, two repair tasks were issued, but no solution was found."

Thomas quickly flipped through the pages of the book while talking, and finally found the detailed list of supplies in the Ghost Mine: "Look, this is it, the Goddess Mine Product List."

"Ah, Master, this mine cave was renamed after the collapse. Will the goddess cause trouble for you?"

“The goddess never cares about these things, so there’s no need to worry about them. However, we have been so respectful to the goddess for so many years and have held sacrificial activities frequently, but the goddess almost never pays attention to us.

On the contrary, you, who just arrived not long ago, have received divine objects and been given tributes to the gods. Could it be that... you are actually her illegitimate child?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang"!

There was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder in the sky! Then, a powerful drought thunderbolt split the window at lightning speed and hit Dart directly!

In an instant, there was a flash of lightning and Feng Lingqing couldn't help but close his eyes. Dart was beaten to a state of skin and flesh, with his skin torn and his body burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

After the dazzling light gradually dissipated, Feng Ling stared at his pitiful master in amazement. He saw that he had become like a piece of black charcoal. His neatly combed hair was blown everywhere, and thick black smoke came out of his mouth involuntarily.

Fortunately, Dart did not vomit blood.

"Since you have always taken good care of Feng Ling, I will treat this as your first offense and give you a light punishment! If you do it again, your life will be in danger!"

An ethereal and majestic voice echoed in the air.

"My Lady Goddess, I was wrong. I will never do it again!"

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Those who have never seen a ghost will probably become obedient if they really encounter a ghost one day.

The situation Dart is facing now is quite similar to this one. It turns out that the goddess is right beside him.

Seeing his master kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy from the goddess sister, Feng Ling secretly felt lucky:

Fortunately, although the master was beaten, his life was not in danger. This was just a warning given by the goddess sister.

"Thank you, goddess sister, for your magnanimity." Feng Ling faced the void and bowed deeply to express his sincere gratitude.

Dart was dumbfounded that his own disciple had such an affectionate title for the goddess.

After this lesson, Dart finally believed in the existence of God. However, it is not easy for ordinary people to see God. But this time, he saw him.

After all, he had previously had doubts about whether the jewelry Lin was wearing was a gift from the goddess, but now he is convinced of it.

"Master, are you okay?" Feng Ling asked with concern.

"It's okay, I won't die. It's not a big problem. I can still withstand this injury. But I may be ridiculed for several days." Dart replied.

"Uh, what's going on?" Feng Ling looked puzzled.

"The goddess asked me to stay like this for three days. It seems that I can only choose to stay indoors and recuperate for the next period of time." Dart explained helplessly.

Feng Ling secretly rejoiced in his heart. He thought, "Haha, the goddess sister is trying to embarrass the master! But it seems that the master did not take any other unnecessary actions. Is he afraid of being laughed at by others, so he chose to hide obediently?"

Looking at his apprentice's expression, Dart said nonchalantly.

"Laugh if you want to. After all, he is my disciple. I am very generous and will not blame you."

Seeing that the master was standing there nonchalantly cleaning up, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Master. As long as you are not seriously injured, it's fine. Let's continue talking about what happened just now."

But seeing Dart's focused, charcoal-like face staring at him, Feng Ling tried hard to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth, and said calmly:

"Master, I need a wide variety of materials, but after checking, I found that the materials produced in the ghost mine can already meet about 80% of the material requirements.

If the results of this research project are to be put into mass production, the required materials must be obtained from this place.”

"Yes, that's true! If it weren't for the fact that the secret mine has too many restrictions that prevent us from obtaining enough resources, who would be willing to waste time getting supplies from there? It can only be said that it may be okay for occasional emergencies, but in the long run, we still have to repair the ghost mine."

As soon as Dart mentioned the secret mine, he seemed helpless, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of blows here.

"Yes, Master, that's what I thought. If the review results are passed, this magic energy device will definitely be mass-produced.

Not only us, but also the neighboring towns will have a great demand. When the time comes, we will go to Mayor Thomas to raise this matter, and he will definitely agree!"

"Not bad, disciple, you are really thoughtful. Your master has a new respect for you. Since the production of this magic energy device requires a large amount of materials, the cost of purchasing them from a long distance is too high. At that time, Thomas will definitely restart this task!

There should be other subsidies. When this mission is announced, you can take it on naturally. I will still be your supporter. Well done! "

"Hehehe, Master, we haven't even started yet. Let's wait until the device passes the review before we talk about it."

"I don't trust you? Show some strength, kid!"

"Whether you fight for it or not, you've already submitted it. Hehehe, Master, you have to stay calm."

Feng Ling laughed dryly twice.

There were a few knocks on the door, and Lin suddenly pushed it open. Seeing Dart's appearance, the girl immediately shouted in worry:

"Dad! Why are you like this? Are you okay?"
