Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

This trip made Lin Xia fully realize that there are so many different things in different places, and these can be shared with each other!

Lin Xia suddenly had a vague idea in her mind. Perhaps, when the ranch is on track next year and the dwarves are responsible for taking care of it, she can also take one to two weeks every month to travel to other places and collect some materials and props that are not available in Mineral Town.

At the same time, we also bring the good things from Mineral Town to share with others.

This time when I went to Stardew Valley, I was not very well prepared, but after the trip, Lin Xia felt that although many ingredients in Stardew Valley looked more magical than those in Mineral Town, Mineral Town also had things that Stardew Valley could not compare to!

For example, the ore here obviously has a much higher mineral content than that in Stardew Valley; and the tools made from the Philosopher's Stone here are higher in coverage and power than the highest-grade iridium ore in Stardew Valley.

However, there is one special thing about the sickle in Stardew Valley, that is, the cutting range of an ordinary sickle is quite large. More importantly, using a sickle does not consume any physical strength at all, which is amazing!

When Lin Xia learned this, she actually wanted to buy such a sickle, but she was told that she was not a local resident and could not own local tools. These tools were given free of charge to settled residents.

Although Lin Xia was envious, she couldn't sell herself out just for a sickle, so she could only let it go.

Next year, she wants to visit Gemini Village as well. She heard that it is quite interesting there, with various festivals and competitions. Among them is an insect catching competition, which Lin Xia thinks is very suitable for her. She will participate with her pet Da Zhuang, hehe.

In the next few days, Lin Xia welcomed several girls from the town, including Mary, Bobri and Karin, all of whom came because of the loom and sewing machine that Lin Xia brought back.

All I can say is that everyone has a love for beauty!

Several girls were obsessed with using all kinds of colored things to dye white cloth, and then enthusiastically designed and made all kinds of strange clothes.

There are still many materials suitable for making dyes in Mineral Town. Not to mention the vegetables and fruits, the seven colors of medicinal herbs that appear in spring, summer and autumn, the black grass in the mines, and the white grass that appears in winter have already made up the basic colors.

In addition, there are all kinds of brightly colored poisonous mushrooms that appear in the mountains in autumn. Although mushrooms were poisonous and could not be eaten before, no one in the town would even look at them except Doctor Dot.

But now, the brightly colored poisonous mushrooms are loved by every lady in Mineral Town, for no other reason than their bright colors!

Since Gray successfully brought back the furnace and gem forge, he became obsessed with forging various ores. He even came to Lin Xia to buy raw ore because he didn't want to spend time going to the mine to mine the ore himself, so he simply bought it directly from Lin Xia.

Knowing that Lin Xia did not plan to forge the gems himself, even if Lin Xia needed to cut gems in the future, he could go directly to Gray. Gray stated that in the future, as long as Lin Xia needed it, he would cut gems for Lin Xia for free, but the ore that Lin Xia knocked out must be sold to him first.

Lin Xia said that it was no problem at all, and happily sold all the large amount of gems that she had knocked out when digging out the cursed farm tools to Gray.

However, Lin Xia suggested that Gray keep 5 gems of each type cut from the gem mines for Lin Xia, in case they are needed as gifts in the future or for making jewelry.

Gray readily agreed.

Lin Xia received a large sum of money and was very happy.

There was a lot of ore for sale this time, and Lin Xia directly handed over more than a dozen large boxes of ore to Gray.

"I'm going to go to the Spring Mine to look for the Philosopher's Stone in a few days. I'm sure I'll dig up a lot of gold, silver and copper ores by then. Do you want some?"

"These are too common, not many people use them, so I don't want them. But if you have any extra mithril, diamond, or orchid, you can send them to me and I'll take them all. Of course, it would be even better if you could dig up more philosopher's stones. You know how valuable they are, 2 each!"

"From your tone, I can tell that the Philosopher's Stone is not easy to knock." Lin Xia sighed.

Gray looked at her comfortingly and said, "It is indeed difficult. It tests both luck and chance. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few people who own Sage Farm Tools. However, I can tell you the ore layer where the Philosopher's Stone will appear, but it's not 100% certain to appear. Let me tell you!"

Lin Xia expressed her gratitude, at least she didn't have to search layer by layer.

“贤者之石通常会出现在60、102、123、152、155、171、190、202、222、231-255层，不过也看概率哦，如果你当天敲不到，我觉得可以考虑换一天再来，这个真的很考验人品的。”

"It would be nice if our TV had a divination program." Lin Xia said jokingly to Gray. After that, they both couldn't help laughing. Indeed, the trip to Stardew Valley really opened the door to a new world for them.

There, you have to check your fortune for the day before going out every day. If your luck is bad, it’s best not to do some things, otherwise you will definitely get half the result with twice the effort.

Soon, the 23rd arrived, and when Lin Xia woke up in the morning, she found that the last cursed farm tool she was equipped with - the sickle - had also been successfully transformed into a blessed farm tool.

Lin Xia jumped several times with joy!

The last two blessed farm tools, the blessed hammer, were converted on the 18th. After the conversion, it can smash all the stones within 9*9 meters around itself at once. This is equivalent to the power of a small bomb in Stardew Valley, and it will not hurt yourself.

I heard that the Sage's Hammer is more powerful and can smash all the stones visible to the naked eye in the area!

The power of the Blessed Scythe is similar to that of a hammer, and it can cut all the herbs within a 9*9 meter range centered on itself at once.

After receiving all the blessed farm tools, Lin Xia took a hammer and a hoe, as well as a large amount of food to replenish his energy, and went down to the mine with Ah Huang.

As expected of the ore that Gray had repeatedly emphasized was a test of one's character, it was indeed difficult to mine. Fortunately, the mine in Mineral Town only took time to go up and down the floors, and the time inside the mine was stagnant. Otherwise, even if Lin Xia had been mining for ten days or half a month, he probably wouldn't have been able to mine out a single piece.

The probability was too small. At the beginning, since Lin Xia did not knock out the first piece and give it to Ah Huang as a reference, Ah Huang could not help much.

After Lin Xia had knocked away all the ores on the 60th and 102nd floors, he finally found the first Philosopher's Stone when he was almost halfway through the 123rd floor. Lin Xia was so happy that he cried!

At this time, Lin Xia had collected dozens of boxes of gold, silver, copper and three other types of ores.
