Ranch Story: Start Over

Feng Ling blinked, then said with a righteous look on his face:

"Uncle Thomas, I'll take up that bus plan of yours when I become awesome!"

"Get lost! You little brat, you said you weren't here to defraud funds. Although the higher-ups encourage everyone to promote the development of alchemists and provide them with more convenience, you didn't even give me the most basic things. Get lost now!"

Seeing Thomas chasing him away with a look of disappointment on his face, Feng Ling touched his forehead speechlessly.

Feng Ling certainly would not give up the good opportunity in front of him. His original intention was to use the bus plan to provide some convenience for himself, but he did not expect that the information revealed to him by Uncle Thomas included project bonuses and experimental funds. In this way, he would not have to bear the entire cost of the project himself.

It’s just that Uncle Thomas is too vigilant and a little hard to fool.

It's good to save some money. It costs money to hire people to farm, it costs money to build a chicken coop, and I haven't built my own house yet, so that also costs money. Buying a car costs even more money. Feng Ling has money waving at him right in front of him.

"Uncle Thomas, how about this, I take a project to practice first, what do you think?"

"Still practicing? You think you're just playing house buying groceries? If it doesn't work, come again? This is real money!"

"Uncle Thomas, I just need the money for the materials. If you agree, I will do it."

Feng Ling said helplessly, if you don't give me money, you should at least give me some materials, otherwise how can I complete the project without materials? You can't want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat.

Looking at Feng Ling spreading his hands, it seemed that the other party didn't have much money. He remembered what Gotz had said on the phone before, that Feng Ling's family was building a water mill and a chicken coop, and that kid was even going to save the money for the formation. It seemed that he really didn't have much money.

"this is for you!"

Thomas took out a mining permit from the drawer of his desk and wrote something on it:

We hereby grant the Mineral Town resident Morningwind Rancher the right to develop the Fenglingquan mine. Please pay attention to safety during the mining process and be responsible for any accidents.

Then he took Feng Ling's finger and pressed it, and then stamped it with an official seal.

"Done, that's it!"

"Huh? Uncle Thomas, what are you doing?"

"I've given you the right to mine. Aren't you short of materials? Go and mine by yourself. Don't worry, we are different from the mechanical civilization continent. They have mine collapses, but here, every mine is an alien space. How much you can dig out depends on your ability. There will be no collapse."

"! Be good!"

Feng Ling learned a lot. There is such a good place. It is just like going to a dungeon.

Thomas looked at Feng Ling with an expression that showed he had never seen the world before and said:

"Study your space pendant more. It's a good thing given to you by old man Feng Qingyang. Don't let it gather dust!"

"Uh, Uncle Thomas, how do you know he's covered in dust?"

"It has been unused for too long, and it is all dusty. The space inside is getting smaller and smaller. It is caused by the magic dust. Is it difficult for you to use magic to carve out the inner space?

Just like the mine you are heading to, you can dig hard in one direction, and maybe you will dig until you don’t know which direction to go back, but it will only stay that way. Unless you leave that space and enter the mine, it will be your bag. "

Speaking of the space pendant on his chest, Feng Ling has a deep understanding of it. He has been too tired these days, and returns home every day with almost no magic power. The 8 cubic spaces that he had worked so hard to mine in the past two days seem to be shrinking again. I hope it won't really get smaller.

"It's over, it's over!"

Feng Ling had a look of regret on his face, and saw that Thomas was looking at him in the way he expected.

"Is the space pendant too small?"

"Uh, yes, Uncle Thomas, can I dig up a lot of ore if I go in?"

"How much space do you have inside now?"

"Uh, less than 8 cubic meters."

Thomas smiled and said:

"So small? Hahahaha, are you going to go in and dig the soil or go in and mine."

"Hey, hey, Uncle Thomas, please stop making fun of me."

Thomas waved his hand and stated a harsh reality.

“After entering the alternate dimension of the Fountain Mine, your space pendant can take you back to the outside world, or bring you back with objects.

However, once you enter, there will most likely be a space as big as a person, so you have to work hard to mine while putting soil into the space pendant, and also pay attention to the way of oxygen exchange, because we also need to breathe.

It's because your cultivation is so poor that you can't hold your breath for so long. Without oxygen, you can't move far.

I say, in this environment, do you still have the energy to find the corresponding ore?"

Feng Ling didn't want to talk anymore after hearing this. This kind of operation, which was similar to Minecraft, was like being randomly teleported to a mining space, and then digging the soil around aimlessly and madly. He needed to leave before the oxygen ran out. It felt terrible that the copy would be reset once he left, and he had to pay again to go in.

"Uncle Thomas, aren't there any more ordinary open-pit mines?"

"Yes, they are in charge."

Hearing this result, Thomas poured himself a bucket of cold water again. The Principality had already considered these things, so it directly adopted the method of nationalization. Ordinary people can mine in these other-dimensional spaces. Just remember to pay taxes when you reach a certain amount. Ordinary soldiers may work hard and have very low output in a day. People with high-level cultivation disdain it. This is really discouraging.

"Then Uncle Thomas, if I forget to bring the things you said I would bring back when I go in, will you still let me in?"

"The entrance is guarded, don't worry, that guy is very powerful. Besides, you are looking for death, so you don't bring the return tool. If you don't have the return tool, the guard at the entrance will put it on you, but when he forces you to wear it, you need to pay him double the price. This thing will take you away immediately if it senses that you are in danger. It's a pretty good thing."

“Is that expensive?”

"It's not bad. He made 5 yuan, and came to collect the debt for 10 yuan."

He didn't say it, but it's true. The other party also considers the safety of the entrants, and each time it is activated, the other party needs to release magic to open the space channel. Of course, the entrance fee is only 1000 yuan, and the extra cost is supported by the Mineral Town, and the government will naturally bear the extra money.

At this point, almost all roads are blocked. According to Feng Ling's original idea, he wanted to make some basic items through alchemy after mining. Currently, he is an entry-level alchemist, that is, level 0. He needs to make 100 small items to reach the next level. If he can't dig up ore, he can't upgrade his alchemy level.

However, after all the difficulties, there is always a way out. The system prompt finally came:

A small, dusty plaque flew towards him, and in an instant a rotating dialog box appeared above Feng Ling's head:

Title: Happy Little Miner

Attributes: Each time you enter a different space to mine, you are guaranteed to obtain at least 10% of the ore materials in that space.

Effect: It is our responsibility to care for every traverser.

Comment: You little piece of trash, you are a level 1 lord, but your storage space is so small. Do you want to make me laugh to death so that you can inherit my property?

"*****!"

Feng Ling was surprised at first when he saw the attributes, but after seeing the system evaluation, he finally couldn't help but curse.
