Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After Xia No. 1's rush to plant, Xia No. 2 became a bad witness. In the following days, Lin Xia's life was still quite peaceful. Gotz had already started to help Lin Xia build a crop processing workshop on the 3rd.

The 3rd was also the birthday of the little princess of the chicken farm. Lin Xia gave her a boiled egg, and she finally forgot Lin Xia's evil act of wanting to eat chicken. The 4th was the birthday of the town policeman Harris, and Lin Xia gave him a bamboo shoot rice dish (taught by the carpenter Gotz: peel the bamboo shoots, slice them with a kitchen knife, blanch them in boiling water, add salt and soy sauce, and mix them with the rice balls. It is said that mushroom rice and pine mushroom rice are made in the same way, except that the main ingredients are changed. It is quite simple.) As a gift, Harris's face turned red with excitement. He patted his chest and assured Lin Xia that he would definitely maintain the security of the town and let Lin Xia run her ranch with confidence.

After a few days of accumulation, Lin Xia finally accumulated 7332G, enough to upgrade a tool to Mithril. Presumably, after two days of rest, Sebala should have recovered. On the morning of the 5th, Lin Xia found Sebala again and spent 5000G to ask him to upgrade the axe to Mithril. The old man happily agreed.

Lin Xia’s current tool levels are as follows:

Scythe - Mithril Grade

Hammer - Mithril Level

Kettle - Mithril Level

Axe——Upgrading (No. 9 is available)

Hoe - Primary state, use proficiency 100% (has met the Mithril upgrade requirements)

Fishing rod - primary state, use proficiency 100% (has met the Mithril upgrade requirements)

After using the Mithril Kettle, watering is very easy. 15 grids of land can be watered at a time. Lin Xia checks the fields every day after the dwarves get off work, and makes up for any missed watering, which is quite easy.

The mithril hammer is also quite powerful. Lin Xia is now searching everywhere for rocks on the mountain. After accumulating power, he can get some stones by hitting them with one blow. It is no longer like the previous silver hammer. If he encounters a slightly harder rock, he needs to hammer it at least three times, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood!

Speaking of the Mithril Scythe, except for the time when Lin Xia was cutting cucumber vines on Spring 30, she enjoyed the power of the Mithril level. When cutting grass, she had to cut it at intervals, one grid at a time, but she had not used it fully at other times.

Thinking of the increasingly rampant weeds and branches in the back mountain, Lin Xia decided to take a sickle to clear a path, at least to clear the mountain path that he usually walked on, so as not to increase the difficulty of traveling!

Before going to the back mountain, I turned into the Clucking House opposite the Blacksmith House and bought some chicken feed. The corn I planted was still some time away from being harvested, and now the number of chickens and rabbits has increased. Although I can let them go out to fend for themselves when the weather is fine, feeding them chicken feed directly will help improve their favorability, which is equivalent to the effect of pet biscuits. So Lin Xia bought some new chicken feed.

After buying the feed, I followed the path next to it and entered the back mountain. After passing Gotz's house, I went around the lake in the back mountain and explored deep into the dense forest. When I encountered lush weeds, I swung my sickle and not a blade of grass was left within a 5-meter diameter centered on myself. In one word - awesome!

So whenever Lin Xia felt that there were lush vegetation nearby but no big trees, he would swing his sickle and open a wide path for himself, which revealed many plants growing close to the ground, as well as pheasant nests and several holes in the ground.

For a while, the grass and trees were flying everywhere where Lin Xia passed, and the chickens were flying and the birds were singing. Lin Xia happily picked up the pheasant eggs she saw. Some holes in the ground had rabbits or gophers crawling in them, but Lin Xia didn't care, mainly because she couldn't do anything about it!

Lin Xia was swinging the knife excitedly when suddenly a shrill scream came, which frightened Lin Xia. She looked carefully and saw Brother Chicken again. Brother Chicken was staring at Lin Xia angrily at this moment. Why?

Lin Xia scratched her face, feeling really embarrassed! The chicken in front of her was still as majestic and upright as ever, except that a piece of feathers on its chest had been chopped off, revealing its snow-white chicken breast.

This... Lin Xia wanted to explain that she really didn't mean it, but Brother Chicken obviously couldn't stand such a great humiliation, and it flapped its wings and flew up, immediately pounced on Lin Xia, vowing to peck this shameless guy to death.

Lin Xia saw it and thought it was terrible. If the chicken pecked her with its sharp beak, there would be several holes on her body. Even its sharp claws were not to be underestimated. She quickly swung the sickle again, causing the chicken to scream again. After feeling that she had hindered the chicken's attack, Lin Xia turned around and ran.

Hearing the noise behind him coming closer and closer, he turned around and swung the sickle again, not caring about the effect. After all, the attack range of the mithril sickle was centered on himself, so he could still protect himself. After realizing that he had hindered Brother Chicken, he immediately continued to run away.

The man and the chicken were like this, one running, one chasing, one waving a knife, and one dodging, running around in the dense forest. The grass and trees in the forest were falling again, chickens were flying, and birds were chirping. The noise was much louder than before.

Finally, the sickle was swung too many times, causing a great loss of Lin Xia's physical strength. Lin Xia could not hold on any longer and had to stop and prepare to confront the pheasant head-on.

Turning around, he almost burst out laughing at the chicken in front of him. The chicken looked so miserable at this moment. Although the sickle could not harm the chicken's strong body, it had ruthlessly harvested all its feathers. The chicken's shiny and beautiful feathers, which were well maintained and shining, were now almost gone. The sickle had cut off a few pieces of its feathers, and the comb had fallen off by half. Two-thirds of the long tail feathers had also been cut off. It was so miserable!

Lin Xia felt that she had gone too far after seeing this, but it was not her fault. It was the one that kept chasing her. Lin Xia was afraid!

A man and a chicken stood facing each other, more than 5 meters apart. Neither dared to get any closer, for fear of being hurt by the other!

After 10 minutes of silence, Lin Xia felt that it was not a good idea to continue, so he planned to call a truce. He first looked at what was in his backpack, at least to express his initial apology - in fact, Lin Xia was really wronged. Who would have thought that the mighty and domineering Brother Chicken would hide in the bushes and be accidentally injured by himself!

Freshly picked pheasant eggs? No, no, who knows if they are from Brother Chicken, don’t anger him again; wild grapes? Let’s try first, so Lin Xia took out a bunch of grapes and threw them at the other party. Brother Chicken looked away with disdain, and Lin Xia looked in the direction - I was careless, there are wild grapes everywhere in the mountains recently, it seems that grapes won’t work.

Lin Xia began to rummage through the backpack again. There were radish dishes and cucumber dishes in it, which were definitely not suitable for pheasants. There were also radishes and cucumbers left over from cooking. She threw them out to try. This time, the chicken didn't shake its head (after all, these were products of spring and there was definitely none in the mountains now), but it didn't accept them either. However, it seemed that it was not as angry as before and its attitude softened a bit!

Lin Xia continued to rummage through the bag. Besides the chopped wood, stones, herbs and wild flowers, there was also some chicken feed that she had bought at the Clucking Hut after leaving the blacksmith shop today. Because she had come directly to the mountains, she had not yet had time to send it back to the feed room.

How about - give it a try?
