Ranch Story: Start Over

Dart felt helpless in the face of Feng Ling's bizarre train of thought, and couldn't help wondering:

How many tragic and miserable things has this guy experienced to have such a strange idea!

If Feng Ling knew what Dart was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out for justice.

After all, as the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!

However, if the people sent by the higher-ups are arrogant and rude, and treat these workshop owners like they would bully country folk, won’t they just be able to swallow their anger and grieve?

"Don't worry, this will never happen. If the people above dare to make a mistake, the punishment they receive will far exceed the price they have to pay for coming to help.

More importantly, if a student is found to have engaged in malpractice or deliberately made things difficult for others, his/her assessment results will be severely affected.

If the victim's evidence proves that there is indeed illegal behavior, not only will the person be severely punished and all the profits for that year will be confiscated, but he will also have to pay the victim ten times the amount of the project research as compensation."

"Won't there be people who are resentful if the punishment is so harsh?"

"Of course not. So far, there have been very few similar incidents."

"Is it so amazing? In the mechanical civilization continent, this phenomenon is very common."

Feng Ling obviously didn't believe what Dart said. He didn't believe that people didn't have selfish and dark thoughts.

"Because we are invincible, they can do whatever they want! We are endowed with natural pride. When facing any outsider, we can tell him that this is a gift to you. Can you imagine?"

Feng Ling frowned slightly and thought to himself: If it is a country of this level, it can indeed be called invincible.

"Back to business."

Dart continued.

"Currently, a first-level workshop owner can receive ten tons of various conventional metal ores and two tons of five rare metal ores each month.

Of course, as your rating increases, the mineral subsidies you can enjoy will also increase. Unfortunately, our towns may not have this blessing. "

Feng Ling heard this and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

The man sighed and explained:

"The core mining cave in our town is in big trouble. There was originally a mine cave dedicated to mining on the Goddess Peak in the Mineral Town. Five years ago, a serious collapse accident occurred there, but fortunately no one was injured.

But since then, the mine has been completely abandoned. Not only are the minecart tracks, lighting facilities and power equipment in the mine all damaged and scrapped, but even the possibility of repair is very small. In addition, it is located in a remote area, and there has been no suitable person to enter the mine to solve the problem. Fortunately, several people who went down the mine came back alive, and combined with their descriptions, the mine became particularly mysterious.

In this way, the subsidies you have been thinking about will become a bubble. The quotas of the alliance towns around us, such as the brother towns participating in this food festival, are also in this mine."

"What? There is such a thing!"

Feng Ling was shocked:

"Don't other towns have similar needs? Can't they help find a solution to this problem together, or apply to their superiors for the allocation of supplies?"

"What to do? Just dig it yourself and don't cause any trouble for the higher-ups. Several elites sent down from the Yangshan District capital are lucky to have escaped half-dead or seriously injured. The mine on the mountain now has a new name."

"what name?"

"Ghost Mine!"

"Stop, Master. I told you not to scare people before, but here you are."

"Well, something strange happened, so it was abandoned. Otherwise, why do you think no one repaired it later? Besides, the logistics center can also transport the required ore, but it will consume a lot of time and magic crystal coins."

Feng Ling curled his lips in disdain:

"Master, if it really doesn't work, why don't you just hire those people with high-level skills and let them beat us up. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Dart shook his head helplessly: "We can't get in, we can't get in. Once our cultivation level exceeds that of a high-level swordsman, we will be blocked by restrictions. Otherwise, do you think we don't want to do this?"

At this point, Dart seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said excitedly, "Yes, apprentice, I almost forgot about this topic if we hadn't talked about it. If it was you who went in, wouldn't you be the most suitable candidate?"

"What?!" Feng Ling widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Because your cultivation is low!" Dart answered as a matter of course.

This is really a very sad topic. Feng Ling felt that there were countless dirty words in his heart that he wanted to blurt out, but he didn't know whether he should say them or not.

Just like the plots in those novels about cultivating immortals and becoming demons, this magical restriction actually exists in reality, and it only appeared after the mine collapsed. It is truly unprecedented.

"Master, such a strange restriction appeared after the mine collapsed. It doesn't make sense at all. Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

Feng Ling frowned and asked thoughtfully.

"It's not a restriction caused by the collapse. This restriction has always existed, but it became more restrictive after the collapse. We don't understand it. In addition, people with high cultivation levels like Thomas don't want to destroy the only mine resource, so we can only leave it alone.

Well...boy, if you can solve this problem, you can also collect mining dividends in the future, and you don't have to go to the mine yourself. Thomas mentioned it a long time ago, how about it, are you interested in doing a job! "

Of course he had to do it, but the quick-witted Feng Ling always felt that the benefits would be very low if he solved the problem alone. For some things, being too proactive was not necessarily a good thing, and he still had to go through the process. Feng Ling pondered for a long time.

……

"Master, Master, I have a good idea. What do you think of it?"

"You said."

Seeing his apprentice's eyes suddenly light up, Dart suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Master, what do you think? If we can turn the mine repair work into one of the tasks of the honorable residents of Mineral Town, then we will make a profit, right?"

"Yes, that's for sure, but the Honor Residents mission is time-limited. The last time the Mineral Town Ghost Mine Repair Mission was issued was four years ago, and it lasted for a year. After hitting a large group of people, no one mentioned it anymore. Do you want Thomas to reissue this mission?"

"Yes, Master!"

However, Dart quickly refuted Feng Ling's idea.

"How can they issue such a task again without any major impetus? The last time, it was jointly issued by five small towns. If it's just Thomas alone now, do you think he will do it?"

"Master, please listen to me."
