Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"This is a small fishing tool that can be used to catch fish and shrimp in small rivers, streams, and small ponds." Huo An explained, "Press the green button to eject the fishing net, and press it again to retract it. Press the red button to generate a weak electric current. If there are dangerous fish in it, you can stun them with the current before retrieving them.

Of course, this is just a small prop, don’t expect it to have much power, and one net can only catch about 20 kilograms of fish, and they have to be small, otherwise the net can’t be retrieved, you know! ”

Lin Xia: "..........It's obvious from the look of it that the quality is shoddy. It's hard for you to find it and give it to me."

Huo An: "It's free, don't be disgusted. I have the latest hunting tool box with excellent quality and lifetime replacement. Do you have the money to buy it?"

Killing someone is just like this. Lin Xia stopped talking.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Lin Xia put away his fishing rod and went back to catch some small river shrimps in the ranch's moat to eat!

Just as he was about to leave, Huo An stopped him again: "You haven't played the Guess the Apple game for a long time. How about playing a couple of rounds today?"

Lin Xia: This is clearly an unscrupulous business that lures people into gambling!

Before, Lin Xia got a "lucky fruit" from Kappa. She originally wanted to use it to play games with Huo An, but there was only one and she was reluctant to give it away, so she never came.

But recently, Lin Xia feels that she has good luck. How about playing a few rounds?

So at Huo Anle's invitation, I spent 300G, played 3 times, and got several slot machine lottery tickets in exchange for 1 bag of fantasy grass seeds, and nothing else.

After getting the fantasy grass seeds, Lin Xia remembered that he was planning to grow some fantasy grass. It would be even better if he could grow mutant flowers.

So he went to Huo An and bought 20 bags of fantasy grass seeds, spending G. Huo An happily sent the depressed Lin Xia away.

After leaving Zack's cabin, I saw Kai resting at the door of the Sea House. I greeted him, gave him some wheat flour, and immediately rushed to Gotz's house.

As I walked in, I suddenly realized that there were quite a lot of lumberjacks here today!

Not to mention Gotz and his good friend Harris, they basically grew up in a lumberjack family. The mayor Thomas was also there, and there was also a big handsome guy!

This handsome guy has a thin build and short reddish hair that seems to have been highlighted. He wears a gray long-sleeved shirt with a black vest on the outside, black trousers and a pair of black casual shoes.

There is a pendant hanging around her neck, which makes her look stylish and cool.

"Hey~ Lin Xia, you're here!" Gotz was the first to greet Lin Xia.

"Hi~Gotz, do you have guests at home?" Lin Xia retracted her gaze from the handsome guy and said seriously.

"Guest?" Gotz was puzzled, then suddenly realized, "Let me introduce you, this is Brandon, he will stay at my house from now on." Then he pointed at the only handsome guy that Lin Xia didn't know and said, "Brandon, this is the owner of the Sub-Zero Ranch, his name is Lin Xia!"

The handsome guy stared at Lin Xia with a pair of eyes that looked at everyone affectionately, and said with a smile: "Hello, Lin Xia, I'm Brandon. I just came to Mineral Town today. I will stay here in the future. Thank you for your advice!"

Wow! Not only is he handsome, but his voice is also nice. Lin Xia tried hard to control her expression and greeted him with a standard 8-tooth smile: "Hello, I'm Lin Xia, and I just came to Mineral Town this year. Let's help each other in the future!"

After seeing that the two knew each other, Mayor Thomas continued his duties and began to give Brandon a guide to life in Mineral Town.

Lin Xia sneaked up to Harris and asked in a low voice: "Harris, why is your dad here? Also, why is this Brandon staying at the Goetz family? Isn't there a hotel in the town?"

Harris first glanced at the people who had walked into the next room and were talking - Gotz was arranging Brandon's future housing and workspace?

Harris whispered to Lin Xia, “This morning, Gotz found Brandon fainted on the mountain and brought him home. Later, we learned that he was an artist who came to the mountain to find inspiration. He thought the mountain behind our Mineral Town was nice, so he wanted to stay here for a while to make it easier to get there.

You know, the closest place to the back mountain in our town is your ranch, and the other is Gotz's logging home. He was rescued by Gotz, so it's better to disturb the familiar than to disturb the new, so didn't he decide to live here? "

"Wait a minute!" Lin Xia rubbed his ears and asked in confusion, "What does 'It's better to disturb the familiar than to disturb the new' mean? Forgive me for not understanding what I heard because I'm not well-educated."

Harris: "It's better to disturb acquaintances than to disturb strangers. There's a saying that goes 'It's better to do business with the familiar'. I borrowed it from that saying. How about it? Is it appropriate? But Lin Xia, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You should read more books when you have time. There are still many books in Mary's library. It's necessary to improve yourself!"

Otherwise she wouldn't be able to understand what others were saying, Harris thought to himself, feeling embarrassed to discourage her.

Lin Xia: ……

"As for my dad coming here, of course he is the mayor. Everyone who comes to live in the town, whether they are staying long-term, temporarily, or doing business, must report to him for registration. He also has to give people a detailed introduction to our Mineral Town!"

"Oh~" Lin Xia understood and continued to ask, "What kind of artist is this Brandon? Is he going to work here at Goetz?"

Harris: "I don't know about that. I just know that he seems to be a sculptor."

While the two were talking, the trio over there also finished their work. After walking back to the lobby, Thomas smiled and said to Brandon, "If you encounter any problems in Mineral Town, you can come to me. My son Harris is a policeman in the town and he comes here to patrol every day. Don't worry, I wish you a happy life in Mineral Town!"

Brandon smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, Mayor!"

After saying that, the mayor left with his son, and now only Lin Xia, Gotz and Brandon were left.

Gotz said to Lin Xia with a smile: "Lin Xia, you may not know this yet, but Brandon is an artist who can make all kinds of works, such as wood carvings and clay. He fell in the mountains while looking for good wood, and I saved him. Because of this fate, I let him stay here."

Lin Xia: "I see. I just heard Harris mention that the mountain is still a little dangerous. It's better to be careful when going into the mountain alone!"

Brandon: "Thank you for your concern. I will pay attention to it next time."

Goetz: "Haha, although Brandon is a little taciturn, he is not a bad guy. Please get along well with him."

Lin Xia: I didn’t notice that you were so quiet?

However, Lin Xia nodded to show that she understood, and then indicated to Gotz that he came here for serious business, not to see the handsome guy.
