Ranch Story: Start Over

Feng Ling is the one who has a treasure mountain but does not know its value. He was extremely depressed as he had not noticed that the well water had such an effect these days.

Feng Ling, with a depressed look on his face, broke free from Kailin's hands and walked to the well. He had drunk the well water several times, so why didn't he realize that the well water had this effect?

One bite! Two bites! Three bites!

Four mouthfuls! Why is it still not working?

Feng Ling looked at his character panel. The buff hadn't appeared yet. He drank one sip, two sips, and

This was his ninth mouthful, and his stomach was full of water. Feng Ling felt a little uncomfortable when he touched his stomach.

"What are you doing? Why are you so stupid? Why don't you just take it for testing? What can you feel after drinking so many sips?"

Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when seeing Feng Ling's actions. He was trying to prove his innocence.

But in fact, when Feng Ling took the sixth sip, the buff effect finally appeared on his panel.

Introduction to character buff: Underground spiritual spring, which can be compressed by magic and transformed into spiritual spring water.

Under normal circumstances, it needs to be taken continuously and will only take effect after the sixth time, increasing the magic recovery effect by 1%, which can be stacked up to 10% magic recovery effect, and lasts for 6 hours (there is no limit on the dosage during the period of use).

The final tip was given to Feng Lingyidao. It turned out that this spiritual spring water would start to take effect after drinking a little bit six times. It must be said that a sip of spiritual spring water was so disgusting.

I didn't expect that when I kindly invited Lin to drink water, I actually got the treasure spring water. Maybe this is destiny, Feng Ling thought arrogantly.

No one would be so bored as to drink five or six gulps of well water. No, for people like them, five or six gulps of well water are not enough! You have to drink ten gulps to feel it. This is too easy to be ignored.

Feng Qingyang looked at his grandson's actions with a bewildered look on his face. Was his grandson too hot from working outside? Why did he drink so much water?

"belch!"

Feng Ling couldn't help but burp, he was really convinced.

This ranch is truly full of treasures, but I haven’t had time to explore them properly.

Looking at the mineral water bottle given to Lin, Feng Ling checked its properties:

System product: a bottle of spiritual spring water

Effect: Alleviate the feeling of weakness caused by lack of magic power.

Effect: Increases mana recovery speed by 10% for half an hour.

Tsk, Feng Ling said disdainfully, I thought he was a king, but turned out to be a bronze.

"Sister, do you want to buy some water?"

"?"

Feng Ling set his sights on the well.

"Half an hour. Try my well water in half an hour. I'll give you a surprise!"

Seeing Feng Ling's suspenseful words, Lin directly chose to ask Feng Qingyang:

"Grandpa Feng, is there anything special about your well water?"

"special?"

Feng Qingyang frowned, then recalled for a while and said:

"Nothing special, right? I've been drinking it for decades. Besides being sweet, it won't dry up even in dry weather. It's a very good source of water."

Feng Qingyang's expression didn't seem like he was lying, and he obviously didn't know anything about it. Lin naturally didn't believe Feng Ling's lies so easily, but looking at Feng Ling's confident expression, she felt a little suspicious.

At this moment, Feng Ling was extremely excited. Now that it was confirmed that this was the spiritual spring water, he could use it to cast spells, such as the Rain Prayer. This mana-consuming skill was too disgusting. Senior Sister was only a level three magician with 600 mana points, but now she consumed half of her magic power to cast the Rain Prayer.

Although Feng Ling has elemental affinity that can reduce the loss of this type of magic, it is only 10%. 300 magic points only save 30 magic points, which makes little difference to Feng Ling now.

In the novels I read before, it was always about people traveling through time or something and bringing a spiritual spring with them. I didn't expect that I would have one too. Although this spiritual spring is not that abnormal and only has a 10% magic power recovery effect, it cannot hide the fact that it is magical.

Therefore, Feng Ling only needs to make a large water tower equipment, then lay pipes, and use modern sprinkler equipment to achieve magic irrigation freedom.

Feng Ling thought so and felt happy.

"Feng Ling? Feng Ling. Feng Ling!"

"What's wrong, senior sister?"

"I see you're in a daze. I called you three times but you didn't respond. What are you thinking about?"

Feng Ling pointed at the well platform, and then told Lin the method he had just thought of. Seeing him describing the upcoming automation with great excitement, Lin felt very sorry. She really didn't want to hit Feng Ling now. In the future, Feng Ling could indeed do it when he had money. But now? Come on, should we hit him?

Seeing Lin's tangled expression, it's strange. Shouldn't Lin praise herself for being so good at this time? Is there anything wrong with my automated operation?

"Feng Ling, have you ever come into contact with the knowledge of the Mechanical Civilization Continent?"

"Senior sister, how did you know?"

"Because the automated irrigation you mentioned is indeed a common practice in the mechanical civilization continent, but unfortunately, I have to hit you."

"!"

Feng Ling was speechless.

"Many things on the Mechanical Civilization Continent are not suitable for our continent. Even if they are researched by great scholars and professors at the Academy of Magical Sciences, the cost of using them is very high."

Seeing that Feng Ling didn't believe her, Lin sat down and told the story:

“I don’t know how much knowledge you have learned about the Mechanical Civilization Continent. The Mechanical Civilization Continent is a world wrapped in impurities. There, they can create value by making good use of the impurities. For example, the automated work you think of relies on electricity, which is a very common thing in the Mechanical Civilization Continent.

But it's different here. We are surrounded by pure magic power, and this magic power allows us to use it to create whatever we want.

In the mechanical civilization continent, electricity is a manifestation of energy when particles (protons, electrons) contained in matter move. The particles they are talking about are impurities in our eyes. These particles floating in the air will cause humans to age quickly.

We only have pure magic here, so our time flows faster than theirs, but our lifespan is much longer than theirs.

The Abyss Demons in the Abyss Ancient Battlefield require pure magic power, because pure magic power can dispel the dark corruption they have suffered for many years, so they have been thinking about attacking our continent and occupying it, but we are not vegetarians either!"

Looking at the knowledgeable Lin, Feng Ling's mood instantly fell from the clouds to the earth. He has been in this world for so many days, but he didn't expect that Feng Ling, who thought he was a man of the future, would suddenly fail at this moment.

Shocked! Really shocked! Feng Ling's worldview was directly refreshed. It turned out that the difference between the magic world and the real world was actually these. Feng Ling's worldview was directly destroyed.

"No, no! I must go to the library to find out." Feng Ling decided that he must go to the library every day in the next few days to find out the difference between this world and the original world.

He never expected that what he thought was a journey through time actually turned out to be a world swap. What he had learned before was not applicable in this world, which made the confident Feng Ling quite frustrated.

"This knowledge is recorded in some books in my family. However, if you want to learn more, I suggest you go to the library to find Mary. She is a walking encyclopedia, a fifth-level magician, and a genius girl."

Lin pointed directly in the direction of Feng Ling.

"Sister, is there no way for us to automate this work?"

"Yes. In fact, a conventional magic energy water pump can be driven by placing a magic energy crystal in it. The energy source for our automated production is the magic energy stone. By injecting magic power into the energy storage stone, we can achieve electricity similar to that of the mechanical civilization continent. However, the price of the whole set is a bit unaffordable."

“Man-made ones aren’t cheap, are they?”

"According to the electricity of mechanical civilization, a fist-sized magic stone can keep your ranch lighting working for a week. What's the price?"

Well, Feng Ling was superficial. It was just a light bulb, but the price was so outrageous.

However, this battery-like method still made Feng Ling's eyes light up.

"What about mine, Senior Sister? How much does it cost for my water pump, pipes, water storage tower, and magic stone?"

"Water storage tower? You're overthinking it. Large containers that can store magic power are not cheap. If it's a small water tower, 10 cubic meters, it would cost 50."

"!"

"What about the pipeline?"

“That’s even more expensive!”
