Ranch Story: Start Over

Of course, Feng Ling didn't curse out loud, but just protested silently and angrily in his heart. Who could have thought that the system would evaluate him like this.

It’s true that my uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.

This kind of evaluation that discredits all of one's own behavior really makes me want to catch the observer behind the scenes and beat him up.

He was worrying about mining here without any shortcuts, but he was mocking him behind his back. Feng Ling greeted him for a long time before finally calming down his anger.

Although the cheating system did not continue to laugh at him and gave him the title of a happy little miner, Feng Ling was certain that this thing must have been designed by the system to make him embark on a career as a miner.

However, as long as he had this title, Feng Ling would no longer worry about getting nothing. In the worst case, there was a 10% guarantee. In this way, he had the confidence to continue the discussion with Thomas.

Seeing that Thomas was still looking at him warily, was he that scary? Wasn't he just targeting his taxes, this guy?

If he really managed to figure it out, wouldn't that be a great thing for him?

"Uncle Thomas, hey, don't look at me so warily. How about this, let's make a small bet."

"Oh? What bet?"

"Well, let's take the simple one first. For example, how many street lights are there in our town? 500, right?"

"Yes, how are you going to bet?"

Thomas felt unhappy when he thought of the town's lighting. Everyone hoped that the streets at night would not be shrouded in darkness, but that people could stroll freely under the lights. Even the Central Park of Mineral Town used to be crowded with people entering and leaving the park when it was prosperous. But now, at night, few people went to the Central Park for a stroll.

Even a night running enthusiast like Lin can't help but run around the streets out of fear.

"Okay, tell me what you want to do and see if it's appropriate."

"Well, Uncle Thomas, how much does a street lamp cost in town?"

",What's wrong?"

"How many are still available, Uncle Thomas? Do you know the number?"

"It's OK, because they are rarely used and I check and inspect them frequently, so only about 200 of them are damaged."

After knowing the result, Feng Ling calculated it in his mind and it was about RMB 30,000 in total, which was quite a lot of money.

"Uncle Thomas, when are you going to start fixing these lamps?"

"It will start next month at the latest. So, are you going to take on this job completely?"

It would be great if someone could take on this job. Although the mission of the Honorable Citizens of Mineral Town was launched to research and develop new street lights, many people would just ignore this mission if it would result in a loss.

But regarding Feng Ling's current situation, Thomas is in a stage of doubt.

Feng Ling was certainly not prepared to take on the task completely. What he wanted to do was to have Thomas announce it at the Mineral Town Residents' Meeting tonight, and then complete it within a limited time. This way, he could create job opportunities for others and allow himself to legitimately participate in the construction of Mineral Town.

"Uncle Thomas, please announce this task to the residents of Mineral Town tonight. Streetlights are something that alchemists below level three can make with some effort. You can give these funds out as bonuses. Whoever does more will get more money. It's a great commission for this task."

After listening to Feng Ling's words, Thomas' eyes lit up. This method really worked. In that case, let's get started. If they could complete it, then all the money saved from the 200 million project bonus could be counted as a reward.

"Sure, you're a very smart guy. This is fine. As long as they can make a complete street lamp within 100 yuan, the money saved will be theirs."

Thomas was not worried at all about someone cheating. We were all residents of Mineral Town and we still had to live with some dignity. Not to mention that in the future, if the lamps we made were damaged, we would still have to use the one-year warranty.

"Uncle Thomas, the bet between you and me is that if I succeed in making a street lamp that is better quality and more economical, you will give me some financial support for the next major mission."

"Let's see how you perform first. I'll agree to your request if you're good enough. I'm just curious. Ten thousand yuan is the cost price. How can you accomplish this?"

"That's my business. Hehehe, Uncle Thomas, you go ahead and do your work. I have to go to the seed shopping mall, so I won't bother you."

Feng Ling looked at the first-level alchemy product blueprint in his system mall. He had just spent 1000 merit points to exchange for it. Now he only had merit points left. A smile appeared on Feng Ling's lips.

Level 1 Alchemy Item Blueprint: Multi-energy Street Lamp (Light, Wind, Magic Stone)

Working environment requirements: All seasons, with light control effect, automatically lights up when night falls and automatically turns off during the day.

Material requirements: steel, impeller (iron), lamp tube (glass), magic cable (any material), insulation layer (rubber), magic solar photovoltaic panel (composite material, can be produced by handing in materials)

Assembly difficulty: Level 1 workbench

Evaluation: A small step for a person, a big step for this era. A first-class special industrial product that integrates magic technology and mechanical civilization technology. The protagonist has finally taken the first step in alchemy.

This is Feng Ling's confidence. These first-level production and processing tools and equipment are all made from ores that can be mined in the mine, skipping Feng Ling's troublesome research.

Of course, Feng Ling could also choose to directly spend money to purchase high-end processing equipment, but the magic stone alone was enough to discourage him. The equipment that Feng Ling assembled independently through the system were all light energy equipment. Although the production efficiency was a bit lower, as long as there was light, it would be fine.

Just like that, Feng Ling left with the new magic crystal card given by Thomas, which contained Feng Ling's 205.1 million. Looking at the magic crystal card lying in the space pendant, he didn't expect that it would not stay with him for long. The huge income has been obtained, and the next thing is the profit of the turnover of the master and others last night.

Feng Ling is not in a hurry to return to the hotel for the time being, so let everyone have a good rest during the day.

It just so happens that there will be a Mineral Town Residents' Meeting in the evening, and my senior sister will tell me the profit situation in detail at that time. However, the Mineral Town Residents' Meeting is also the most complete gathering of residents in the town, and few people are absent, so it is a good opportunity to meet everyone.

Uncle Thomas said that many people wanted to come and meet Feng Ling last night, but Feng Ling was already very busy last night and had no time at all. The reason why many people did not come was that they chose to meet Feng Ling tonight.

Feng Ling, who had a huge sum of money, drove to the seed trading center. Eh? Are they all resting? In that case, I can only go to Jeff's shopping mall to buy seeds. I wonder if Karen is at home today?

Feng Ling turned the car around and changed his destination to a shopping mall. The things in a shopping mall are much more complete. Feng Ling thought of the props in the game, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Maybe? There will be this thing there.
