Ranch Story: Start Over

Feng Ling would not ask Thomas for any tax exemption policy. This might be okay for a newly established enterprise, but for Feng Ling's fishery, it was both a signboard and an image. After the normal 50% tax, the rest would be funds that Feng Ling could freely dispose of.

"Uncle Thomas, can you give me some statistics of the fishery market in recent years? This way I won't raise fish blindly. Of course, it would be even better if I have a supply channel."

Feng Ling is still very tight on money now. He took a look at his personal account, which showed 199 million magic crystal coins, 10 Chinese Principality merit points, and only 19 system merit points left. It was really terrible.

The ice sword technique I learned today in the water at a last minute costs as much as 1 merit points, but fortunately it is worth the money. This method of instantly instilling knowledge is worthy of the merit points, unlike conventional magic learning where you just read a book and study it.

The effect of instant infusion was immediate. Although it was not very powerful, Feng Ling's mind was quick, which laid the foundation for defeating the great white shark later.

"This favor is easy. I'll give it to you."

Thomas was still a little worried that Feng Ling would want tax exemption or something, which would indeed put him in a difficult position because the predecessor of Morning Breeze Ranch was the ranch managed by Feng Qingyang, which was also quite famous, and he could no longer enjoy the preferential treatment of the new ranch.

But since Feng Ling only wants these resources, I will definitely be willing to help.

Seeing Feng Ling carefully checking the information in the statistical atlas, Thomas did not urge him and asked indirectly:

"Feng Ling, you have such a high talent for alchemy. Aren't you tired of running such a big stall now?"

"No, Uncle Thomas. I am only responsible for the deployment and arrangement. The work still depends on others. I am ready to hire Uncle Yu Qi from the Ocean House to work for me. He seems to be quite free recently and his salary is not high, so I am going to poach him."

Feng Ling flipped through the statistical atlas slowly and expressed his plans.

"Are you interested in developing in the industrial field and joining the Magic Industry Association? Just like your research this time, the magic array included in the alchemy is very important, but the core supporting material is a new metal, right?"

Feng Ling looked at Thomas with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party had actually seen it. Then he looked at Gast and saw him nodded. It seemed that he had told Thomas.

"Yes, Uncle Thomas, but how should I put it? It's hard for me to distinguish between alchemy and magical industrial technology. I don't know how you divide them, but in my mind, because I can mobilize magic power, I can use alchemy to continuously refine and compress it to make what I want. I feel that alchemy and magical industrial technology are one and the same."

Feng Ling thought for a while and came to this conclusion and continued:

"It doesn't matter which association you join. As long as it doesn't cause me any trouble, has no constraints and can provide me with convenience, I'm certainly willing to join."

"Then you should join the Industrial Association, Brother Feng. I have my father to guarantee you. No one dares to covet your research!"

Gast stood up and spoke solemnly to Feng Ling. Looking at his serious expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

“Are there any benefits?”

Seeing that Feng Ling was inclined to do so, Thomas added:

"The benefits will definitely not be bad, and after they reviewed and approved your research this time, they all agreed that the research value is huge, so you will be directly promoted to a Level 3 Industrial Association member! Level 3 Industrial Association members can receive 20 tons of ten types of conventional non-ferrous metals each month for free."

"It's gone?"

Feng Ling originally thought that the amount was a little too little, as it felt a bit stingy. However, Gast's words made Feng Ling feel helpless.

"Brother Feng, as long as you break through the third level to the fourth level of the Industrial Association membership, you can enjoy the rights of 4 tons of 100 kinds of non-ferrous metals per month."

"No way? Why is the gap so big? Is there any way to upgrade quickly?"

Feng Ling felt envious after hearing what Gast said. He worked so hard in the secret mine that day but only dug less than two tons. That was because he had the funny title. If he didn't have that title, buying flowers would take a lot of time, and the approval procedures and prices would not be cheap.

If it weren't for the subsidy applied for by his master Dart, which allowed him to make the Ruyi Jingu Bang (fake), Zhuokak would still have treasured it so much.

"Have!"

"tell me the story."

Geist and Thomas looked at each other and took the bait.

"Brother Feng, do you still remember the two project plans my uncle proposed at the Ore Town Residents' Meeting?"

"Well, once I get the materials for the magic street lamp in the next two days, I can start refining and making it. Does this count as one I've completed?"

"Yes, the second one is the project of wind magic energy production."

Thomas was looking at Feng Ling with a smile at this time.

"Feng boy, if you can complete this project, you can be directly promoted to a fourth-level member of the Industrial Association. You should know that the fourth-level alchemist of the Alchemist Association only has 50 tons of materials, but the variety of choices has become more."

There is a saying that quality is more important than quantity. Feng Ling certainly understands this truth, and also understands Thomas' metaphor.

"I'm not that interested in materials research. It would be too much trouble. In that case, I'll just join the industrial association. Do I need to go through the formalities if I don't want to change it?"

Seeing Feng Ling say this, Thomas applauded:

"You have made a wise choice, Feng Ling. I tell you the truth. If you can successfully develop an energy storage tower that is more powerful than the wind magic energy production tower we are currently planning to build, then there is no doubt that you will be promoted to a member of the fourth-level industrial association!

Not only that, Gast's father is also confident that as a reward to you, he can set up an industrial association research center in Mineral Town to assist your future work."

"What does this mean?" Feng Ling asked puzzledly.

“Simply put, once you have this industrial association research center, you can invite researchers from various professions to move in.

They will be your right-hand men in various research projects, and you will be the core leader of this sub-research center, in charge of all affairs. "

Thomas explained in detail.

Feng Ling knew very well how great the responsibility and power of being the head of a research center was. If what Thomas said was true, then he really needed to go all out to seize this rare opportunity.

In the original world, Feng Ling had always liked the research atmosphere of the laboratory. After leaving school, he had never thought that such a dream could be realized after work. However, at this moment, the opportunity was within reach. As long as he successfully completed this task, it would be equivalent to obtaining strong support from the government.

system hint:

Congratulations to the master for activating the hidden task of the Glory Resident Mission, which requires researching and designing a set of powerful wind magic energy production equipment, which must include at least the following important functions.
