Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

With the experience of going down the cave in the morning, Lin Xia and his team's mining efficiency was much higher in the afternoon. At the same time, as they continued to go deeper into the ore layer, Lin Xia gradually figured out the distribution patterns of some ores in the mine.

For example, the moonstone that the village chief needs can usually only be knocked out in the mine layer ending with 8; desert rose stone appears in the mine layer ending with 9; topaz, fluorite, agate, amethyst, and olive jade are the most common and can be knocked out in almost all mine layers; ordinary diamonds seem to only appear in the mine layer ending with 0, and emeralds initially appear in the mine layer ending with 5, but after the 35th layer, starting from the 40th layer, they begin to appear every 20 layers...

The black grass in the Lake Mine is much less than that in the Spring Mine. Lin Xia could still dig it up from time to time before the 25th floor, but after the 25th floor, he never saw it again.

As for the expensive pink diamonds and alexandrites, they are even rarer. When Lin Xia spent a full three hours to reach the 3th floor, he had only knocked down two pink diamonds and no alexandrite at all.

Fortunately, all the cursed farm tools were collected. The cursed kettle on the 69th floor and the cursed sickle on the 79th floor were dug out in one go, and there was no need to return to the mine again like in the morning.

But the Kappa Jade was not so lucky. In the morning, the Kappa Jade on the 1st, 40th and 60th underground floors were found, but the Kappa Jade on the 80th floor was never found.

The reason for the failure was really devastating. The 80th floor was the largest mine Lin Xia had ever encountered. The ores were densely distributed inside, making it difficult to walk. However, he was not afraid of these because he had to knock it down anyway.

However, the traps in this cave are densely distributed, with a small trap every 5 steps (dropping 1-2 floors), and a large trap every 10 steps (dropping 3-5 floors), and they are interconnected in all directions. This causes Lin Xia, Da Zhuang and Ah Huang to often fall in unexpected ways.

It would have been better if Lin Xia fell down by herself. She could be on her own and take the elevator up. Because Da Zhuang and A Huang were in the original ore layer, the ore distribution in the mine would not be refreshed when she came in again.

But if Ah Huang and Da Zhuang fall into the trap alone or together, it means that Lin Xia will have to fall in as well to pick up the two and then come back again. The physical strength lost due to the fall will be multiplied by 2 or 4 times, which is not only harmful to the body, but also costs money!

And if both pets dropped at the same time, after Lin Xia walked out of the mine to retrieve the pet, when she came back again, she would have to face the mine being refreshed, and she would have to explore and mine again...

Talking too much brings me to tears!

Seeing that it was almost 6 o'clock, 200 of the 80 servings of curry udon noodles he brought with him were eaten today. Thanks to Da Zhuang's ability to fly, even if he unfortunately fell into a trap, the loss of physical strength would not be that severe, and only 30 servings of chicken and rabbit feed were needed to recover his physical strength.

But Ah Huang was in a miserable situation. Just like Lin Xia, he would hit the ground hard every time. And his physical strength limit was not extended like Lin Xia's after the transformation of the Fruit of Power. So if he was not careful and did not get replenished, he would be in a negative state. This was when animal potions had to be used.

This time, Ah Huang used a total of 10 bottles of potions, 60 portions of dog food and 15 portions of pet snacks to recover.

We have only explored the 110th floor of the mine, and there are still 6 pieces of Kappa Jade missing!

We can only wait until Gray and I return from Stardew Valley before we can continue going down the mine. We will set off on the 4th, and we need to make various preparations for going out tomorrow. We shouldn't be too worried. Da Zhuang and A Huang also need to adjust.

That’s right, Lin Xia will take them with her this time when she goes out, so their safety is guaranteed!

After returning to the ground, Lin Xia went to the hot spring as usual to recover his strength and fatigue for 40 minutes before hurried back to the ranch.

Thomas, who had gone out for something, also came to the ranch to find Lin Xia at 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Hey, Lin Xia~ Is the thing I asked you to do ready? I want to take a look first." Thomas asked worriedly.

Lin Xia immediately took out a hot moonstone from the space and handed it over: "Take a look, is this what you need?"

In fact, Lin Xia was still a little worried. This was just a rough stone and had not been cut or refined. She didn't know whether the mayor would recognize it.

"Ah! That's it! You're really capable!" Thomas laughed happily, "Haha, I'm going to take it to the neighboring town right away, and see what the old guy has to say this time. By the way, this is for you to show my gratitude!"

Lin Xia took the mayor's thank-you gift and looked at it. Wow! This is a piece of golden wood. I don't know how the gold was processed. The purity is very high. It is shining brightly. Under the light, it is so dazzling that it is blinding! Lin Xia likes it so much!

Thomas said with a smile: "This material is called gold material, and it is very valuable. In the past, if you put it outside, you would be gossiped about being a 'nouveau riche', but now that won't happen. You can decorate your ranch with confidence!"

This kind of wood won't rot if left outside, and it's also good for making farm fences. Then I'll be leaving first!"

After saying that, Thomas left in a hurry!

This piece of wood is used to build a fence? Are you kidding me? This is the first time Lin Xia has seen such a high purity of gold, and it is such a large piece. Lin Xia is reluctant to put it outside to build a fence.

I quickly took it home and put it on my own antique shelf. Such beautiful gold must have a place on the antique shelf! Hehe~

I don't know if such high-purity gold can be refined in Cebala, but if the furnace mission is not difficult to complete this time when she goes to Stardew Valley, she will also bring one back to refine gold for herself, so as to avoid selling so much gold ore at a low price after digging it out, which would be a pity.

Since the mayor said that the refined golden wood is a luxury, then the raw gemstone ore is now sold at a very low price. If it is cut and refined, I believe the price will definitely not be low. The day of getting rich is just around the corner!

After returning to the house, Lin Xia first hung the socks given by Ailian on the wall, and then went to the storage cabinet to store the various minerals he had knocked over today. Lin Xia was reluctant to sell the pink diamond worth 1 yuan. This thing was so difficult to knock, so he decided to keep it for now. What if he suddenly needed it in the future? Where would he be able to find it?
