Ranch Story: Start Over

"Sister! My brother is cheating! He secretly made delicious food without telling me!"

Hua Xiaoling looked at the projection outside and decisively chose to complain.

What a stinky brother! What a bad brother! He didn't tell me about the delicious food and let that old man drink good wine and eat good meat. I'm so angry!

Hua Xiaoling is still very angry about the spanking she received from Mr. Qian when she was a child, but now that she has grown into a little girl, she can no longer bring up the past.

The goddess sister turned her head and saw that boy! What delicious food was he eating? Judging from Lao Qian's appearance, he seemed to be doing well.

"Xiao Ling'er? You said Feng Ling did this?"

"Yes, sister, brother's cooking skills are superb. He can make ordinary ingredients into delicious delicacies. Even I can enjoy eating them. It only takes a small amount of effort to eliminate those impurities from the body.

You know, I don’t like to eat human food, but because of my brother, I only eat the food he cooks now.”

This new discovery made the goddess happy. As gods, they did not eat worldly food because they were afraid that the impurities of the world would contaminate them.

So when Feng Ling planted premium crops and gave him premium onions, it was like a person who had not eaten fruit for years finally eating fruit, excited. Rich vitality is only one of them, low impurities is the key.

"Xiao Ling'er, sister has something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter sister?"

"Next time, trick your brother into making a gourmet meal with high-end ingredients, and then send it to me to try. I'm looking forward to it now."

The goddess sister looked at the Meizhou salt-baked chicken outside the projection. The crystal clear color really made her appetite grow. But as a god, she had to be reserved! She had to be serious! She had to hold back!

"Sister, are you too embarrassed to ask brother directly for it?"

"Sister is a deity, you know that? You have to maintain your dignity."

Hua Xiaoling agreed without knowing the reason, but she still couldn't agree with the goddess's insistence on saving face and suffering.

After Feng Ling and Qian Lao drank three cups, they headed towards the secret mine. Although they had become familiar with each other, they still paid a lot of money.

And even though Mr. Qian is not busy now, once the Rune Workshop Research Center officially starts classes, the powder from the secret mine will be mined from here.

Feng Ling didn't know it at first. If Ares hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that the core material for making such a rare rune power stone was actually the mine secret powder, a very precious secret powder that was extremely difficult to mine and had a very low probability of obtaining.

Fortunately, the Morningwind Mine is a high-level resource mine, so a small amount of mine secret powder will be produced. But even so, it is extremely difficult to supply the needs of the five brother towns. Therefore, in order to practice making Rune Power Rough Stones, one must go to the mine secret realm to dig for secret powder.

By then, Mr. Qian will see people visiting him frequently.

Feng Ling has been busy in the secret mine for a long time. It takes a lot of time to refine 300 tons of iron ore. Feng Ling entered the mine today mainly to prepare for the Rune Power course in the evening.

Mining is a byproduct, and the secret realm powder is his goal. Before entering the secret realm mine, Feng Ling knew that about 1 ton of magic crystal powder can produce 1 kg of magic crystal powder, but this is only a theoretical value.

The real difficulty in obtaining the secret powder lies in its uncertainty. Various mineral layers are possible, but each time it is that rare purple. Under this dim light, purple and black are almost the same.

After opening the sage's snuff bottle piece by piece, Feng Ling confidently walked into the secret realm of the mine.

After only about fifteen minutes, Feng Ling had to leave the mine. It was too terrible. He could clearly sense the secret realm powder in front of him, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't tell where the secret realm powder was.

There is no way. Although the perception is everywhere, the amount is too large. So large that Feng Ling has an illusion. Is the secret realm powder really difficult to obtain?

"Feng boy, you came out so soon? This is different from your usual work attitude, isn't it?"

"Mr. Qian, I went to dig up the secret realm powder. There was so much that I didn't even know how much I had dug."

"Really?"

Old Qian's expression was full of surprise. He stood up with some disbelief, walked to Feng Ling, and looked at the sample in Feng Ling's hand. Isn't this also the secret realm powder?

"Mr. Qian, do you have an alchemy furnace for secret realm powder?"

"Yes, we have one specially configured. Although it is not as good as the best, it is not much better than the worst."

Old Qian walked to a dusty and dilapidated alchemy furnace and pointed at it:

"That's it. You can make do with it. No one in Mineral Town has considered refining secret realm powder for so many years. I'm also curious about how much you can refine."

Feng Ling walked to the operating table of the mining machine, opened the alchemical furnace, and threw all the suspicious ores into it. The 27 cubic capacity requires a long time to refine. The alchemical furnace is more convenient, and the internal space capacity is super large. Next it depends on its output.

Feng Ling squatted patiently at the exit. Ares had said before that this was a powdery dust and must be collected well.

But when the production really started, watching the alchemical furnace like it was constipated, with powder being conveyed out on the conveyor belt little by little, with interruptions from time to time, Old Qian laughed heartily.

"I told you, little Feng, all these ores are useless. They have been completely stripped away and only the secret realm powder is left. Did you just take a chance and dig a hammer here and there to put them into the storage space?"

"You are right, Mr. Qian, but why can't other minerals be stripped out, only the secret realm powder can be stripped out?"

"Because this is a first-level alchemical furnace, once you choose a certain production method, it's fixed. If you want to separate and obtain additional minerals, you need a fourth-level or higher alchemical furnace. Silly boy, then you just watch over it slowly. I'm going to go drink."

Looking at Mr. Qian who walked leisurely back to the dining table to drink, Feng Ling felt like he could hardly catch his breath. It was too difficult, really too difficult!

The answer is the same as what Master Lu said. Feng Ling had expected the difficulty to be very high, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

It has a single production method, a huge volume, and cannot be automated. Its only advantage is that the combustion energy is acceptable and there is a fire source.

But even such a fire source was made from the leftover pieces of giant trees that Feng Ling brought from home. Ordinary wood would not last too long. The difficulty of cutting down giant trees was such that other people did not have such favorable conditions.

Feng Ling calmed down and stayed beside Qian Lao, wanting to see the whole thing. This was a full 27 cubic meters of ore, and the weight was dozens of tons, but the final output made Feng Ling depressed.

An hour later, Feng Ling looked at the Alchemy Furnace and saw that the materials had been cleared. He asked for more materials. He packed the collected secret realm powder into a box and weighed it:

5kg!

"Oh, that's great, young man. You can get so much. Come on, hand over half of it."

Old Qian tugged at the secret realm powder box in the hand of Feng Ling, who had a sad face. Feng Ling held it tightly with an aggrieved expression.

"Don't feel bad. Your mining skills are really impressive. If someone could dig 40-50 tons of various ores for refining like you, they would be lucky to get 1kg. After deducting half of the tax, there would only be a few hundred grams left. They would be happy for many days.

Hurry up, while it's still early, continue digging, I'll refine it for you!"

"Mr. Qian, you can't embezzle!"

"No, no, I'm not interested in this. Go ahead and try your best to collect 10kg. According to the rune power, it will be enough for 20 people."

Feng Ling let out a howl and went into the secret mine again.
