Ranch Story: Start Over

"Little sister, your name is Dimitri, right?"

"Ah."

A sound that seemed to come from the nose came into Feng Ling's ears. This child, with such a shy and introverted personality, is really lovable!

"Dimitri, I've heard from your brothers and sisters that you have the ability to communicate with animals. You are a natural spiritual master! So, do you know what this lovely black-bone chicken in my arms wants to express at this moment?"

Feng Ling asked in a soft voice while stretching out his arm and skillfully grabbed a round, plump black-bone chicken that happened to run to his side, and gently held it in his arms.

The black-bone chicken flapped its wings a few times, and when it saw it was its owner, it let out a clear and pleasant clucking sound.

Dimitri opened his eyes wide, staring at the black-bone chicken in Feng Ling's arms with horror, and his body involuntarily shrank back.

Although she was filled with fear, she still mustered up her courage and tremblingly began to translate:

"It said...it wanted to go to the barren grassland over there because there was a lot of delicious food there. If it went too late, it might fall behind and not be able to catch up with the main group."

Feng Ling nodded, indicating that he understood the black-bone chicken's intention, and then loosened his hands, allowing the black-bone chicken to jump out of his arms.

Then he saw the little guy taking light steps and running towards the other black chickens.

Sure enough, it was just as Dimitri said.

At this moment, the dwarfs were busy tidying up the surrounding wasteland, and the group of black chickens followed closely behind them, happily pecking at the food scattered on the ground or the insects in the haystacks.

You know, the special fortified feed provided by the water mill is limited every day. In comparison, those pure natural foods from the outside world have become their favorite "delicacies".

Not only that, as the magic power in the orchard continued to gather, the small creatures and insects around became more and more numerous, and the quality of these small insects was also improving.

Looking at the way Wuji got along with the other dwarves, unlike Dimitro, the other dwarves behaved much better.

Although these black-bone chickens were almost the same height as them, they relaxed their vigilance a little because they had no ill intentions.

In addition, the presence of these black chickens can also play a certain role in "startling the snake"!

Only a scream was heard from the other side. It turned out that a water snake was being chased by the black chickens and was fleeing in panic. The frightened red dwarf Nabi screamed in fear and could not help patting his chest to comfort himself.

Among the seven dwarfs, only Bordeaux, Nabi and Dimitri are girls.

Gotz nodded appreciatively and said:

"Feng Ling, this child's ability is perfect for you to manage the ranch, but unfortunately her physique is too weak. Coupled with the disease brought by the curse suffered by the goblin clan, I always feel that she may die at any time."

Feng Ling stared at the exchange potions in the system mall, secretly lamenting at their high prices, especially that bottle!

"Oh my god, system, you are taking advantage of me! Change the price back immediately! Otherwise, I will complain to your superiors!"

Faced with such outrageous behavior of the system, Feng Ling suddenly felt terrible. He expressed his strong protest against the system's behavior with silence.

"Master, please understand that normally, if a goblin wants to cure his own disease, it only needs to spend 10 merit points. This price is definitely affordable.

However, since each of the seven Goblins now possesses unique abilities, the difficulty of treatment has increased significantly, and each individual must consume a full 100 million Merits to complete the treatment.

In addition, you need to purchase and exchange the corresponding high-level materials to serve as medicine. Of course, you can also choose to find these materials yourself."

"Oh my god! One million merit points? How long will it take to get that? System, how long can Dimiter last now?"

The system replied in a heavy tone: "Dimitri can only hold on until this winter at most. If she cannot obtain enough merit points, she may not survive this cold winter. In addition, the other dwarves will also enter the fifty-year illness outbreak period in the next few years. Master, time is running out, please make arrangements as soon as possible."

Feng Ling sighed inwardly, staring at the delicate and fragile Dimitri in front of him, a gentle smile bloomed on his face again, and he exchanged a box of milk chocolate from the system space.

This chocolate is one of Dimitri's favorite foods in the game. Feng Ling carefully stuffed the exquisitely packaged chocolate box into Dimitri's arms.

"For you, Demeter."

Dimitri looked up in surprise and said hesitantly, "Uh... this is not a good idea."

However, when he saw Feng Ling's sincere gaze and the box of tempting chocolates in his hand, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes for a moment, but then dimmed again, and his mood seemed to become even lower.

Feng Ling gently patted Dimit's shoulder and comforted him, "I really give it to you, Dimit. Actually, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with. I hope you can help me manage the ranch, okay?"

"But I can't do anything. I can't be like my brothers and sisters."

Looking at the other dwarves who were still working hard in the distance, Dimiter looked at his own thin body and lowered his head even more.

"That's impossible. Just think about it. I have no idea what that black chicken was doing or thinking. But through you, I can know their thoughts and wishes. You are really amazing!"

Feng Ling kept praising Dimitri for his powerful abilities, and his words of praise gradually made Dimitri blush.

Seeing Feng Ling constantly coaxing his little sister and boosting her confidence, Zhuokak and Bordeaux wanted to say something but they held back. This was the little sister's own decision. If Feng Ling could cure the little sister's illness, it would certainly be okay for them to help Feng Ling manage the ranch.

And now, they follow my little sister's own ideas more.

Dimitri rarely refuses invitations or requests from others. Usually when faced with a choice, she would consult her older brothers and sisters for their advice. Now, looking at the encouraging eyes of her older brothers and sisters, even though they did nothing.

Even so, looking at Feng Ling's sincere eyes and gentle words, Dimitri gradually relaxed.

"Okay, if you need to communicate with them, I'll help you."

"Thank you so much, Dimitri. Come, let me introduce you to a good friend!"

Feng Ling whistled with a unique rhythm in the distance!
