Ranch Story: Start Over

While Feng Ling was busy researching the new mining robot, Thomas and the mayors of the surrounding brother towns were checking the changes in the mine one by one.

After so many years, this is the first time that everyone has ever stepped into the ghost mine. Looking at the traces around, there are traces of sword energy and the traces of Luo Linnan swinging his sword to repel ghosts.

Master Swordsman Kevin touched the traces left by the sword energy and said with a serious expression:

"This is a master swordsman. Just this one strike is far superior to mine. I am not as good as him."

Thomas recalled and said:

"I am familiar with Feng Ling and the other young men. Only the young man named Luo Linnan is the most mysterious. If my guess is correct, these are the traces of battle he left behind."

Ares came in from the back after finishing his work and saw the mayors gathered around the sword traces left by Luo Linnan and discussed it. He stepped forward and said:

"Dear mayors, let's check out the important ones first. Now there are so many new passages in the mine. You can take a look around and then leave."

Shirley walked up to Ares with dissatisfaction and started pulling his ears. This woman, like Lin, was very familiar with pulling ears with one hand. Seeing Ling Xiaoxin angrily pushing her away, the girl next to Shirley smiled and said:

"Xiao Xin, are you so partial to Ares? You're the only one who likes this piece of wood."

The gentle teasing made Ling Xiaoxin's cheeks red, but in front of this royal sister, Ling Xiaoxin did not act rashly and just snorted softly.

She had long black hair, a purple robe, slender legs, and cold eyes that became much gentler when she looked at Ling Xiaoxin. But her aura of "keep away from strangers" still made the men around her stop.

Ling Chenxi, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, is a seventh-level alchemist at the Institute of Advanced Sciences who has been obsessed with alchemy and magic for many years. She is considered to be one of the best alchemists of the new generation, a talented lady who possesses beauty, wisdom, and strength.

The eldest daughter of the Ling family is so powerful, but she rarely interferes in ordinary matters. She will only take action when the construction of high-level mining resources like this becomes difficult. This time, because of the residual breath of ghost power, the current mining is more difficult than before. Ares discovered a geological structure that he could not understand at all, so he had to report it to the family, as well as the eldest daughter of the Ling family whom they respected very much.

Fortunately, Shirley and Ling Chenxi were good friends in college and had been in contact for many years. This visit was a big surprise for her. As for Ares, Shirley was also very familiar with Ares. However, the shy boy back then could now survey the mine construction on his own and should not be underestimated.

That's why there was the scene where Shirley teased Ares just now. Ares' brain freezes when he meets a beautiful girl, but this won't happen when Ling Xiaoxin is around. Ling Xiaoxin, who already has feelings for Ares, likes to stick to him even more.

Although Ling Chenxi did not know swordsmanship, she was still touched by the surge of magic in the air. But as Ares said, everyone should stop chatting here. They can go back after visiting the mine ahead. At that time, other technicians will start constructing the space model so that they can better build the mine.

The most troublesome part of high-level resource mines is regeneration. There are fixed refresh points, and the refresh time is sometimes fixed and sometimes unstable. Some ores are extremely valuable, while others are common. This unstable mineral vein excavation often cannot guarantee the economic value of mine mining. The best way is to use mine robots for mechanical intelligent mining.

If it is artificial mining, it would not be a good thing if some people hide precious metals in their own space props and take them out. Moreover, mining cannot allow others to go in naked to work.

Therefore, complex high-resource mines can only be operated using intelligent methods.

When everyone walked to the depths of the mine, which was the altar where Feng Ling stayed that day, looking at the huge altar and the quaint decorations, Ling Chenxi's eyes were full of curiosity. These were arrangements she had never seen before, the magic power surging from this altar, and this mine actually had its own power supply, it was rich beyond imagination.

"Shirley, did you find a treasure?"

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi? It's strange? There weren't these things before, why is there such a unique arrangement now? Do you feel cold?"

A chilly breath filled the air, and feeling the coolness blowing from time to time, Ling Chenxi looked towards Ares.

"Sister, don't be afraid when I tell you."

"Fear?"

Thomas and others laughed and were afraid. What was there to be afraid of with so many people?

"This is the entrance to the soul. That day, Feng Ling and Luo Linnan cleaned up all the ghosts in the mine and placed a piece of jewelry on the altar in the center of the altar. I saw the ghost messenger."

Shirley suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and an icy chill swept through her whole body.

Seeing the frightened Shirley leaning close to Ling Chenxi, Ares continued:

"You don't know, that day was the day I saw the most ghosts in my history, in all kinds of forms. I think I'm numb to them because I've never been on a battlefield before. But Feng Ling and Luo Linnan were fine."

Thomas nodded and agreed:

"I don't know about Luo Linnan, but Feng Ling is a warrior who has gone through life and death tests in the ancient battlefield of the abyss of the demon clan and has become a warrior with great perfection in all aspects. It's a pity that he went to the mechanical civilization continent and is now stuck at the level of a third-level warrior and magician."

This identity made everyone present in awe, especially Ling Chenxi. Ares had talked about the young man Feng Ling many times. Although he had not had much contact with him, looking at the current situation of Feng Ling's ranch, Ares was full of interest in Feng Ling's knowledge.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, there is a restriction in this mine."

Ares recalled what the Black and White Impermanence had reminded them of that day, and said quickly:

"I and Feng Ling have already entered the information. There are still 6 spots left."

"Ok?"

Everyone looked at Ares, only to see him pointing at the palm print on the altar.

"The ghost world messenger said that the fewer people involved in this matter, the better. However, after all, it was opened up by Feng Ling and his team, so he asked for a total of eight places. Living creatures who want to enter this altar in the future will need to obtain authorization from these eight people before they can enter. Here, practicing for 10 minutes a day can increase the strength of the soul."

"Soul strength? What does that mean?"

"It is said to be magic immunity, magic affinity, magic toughness, etc. I am not sure about the other factors."

Ares recalled that perhaps it was just a literal meaning.

"What about mechanical creatures?"

"Mechanical creatures can restore their magic energy here. Sister, do you feel that the magic energy here is restored very quickly?"

Ares casually made a fireball to demonstrate, and Thomas also tried it, and it was a fireball in seconds. The degree of blessing here is outrageous!

"In this place, magic is released almost instantly!"

"We shouldn't stay here too long, because this place is too close to the ghost world. Staying here for too long will easily affect our minds. Ten minutes, ten minutes, hurry up and leave. Uncle Thomas, Sister Shirley, mayors, do you want to enter?"

"Yes, we can't waste Feng Ling's kindness."

"There is such a good place to practice. Although I don't know what the soul strength is used for, it can improve magic affinity and magic immunity. It's a good place."

"Count me in! I'm very interested in this place."

No one refused and hurried forward.

Ling Chenxi walked up to the altar and looked at the ancient patterns around the altar. He felt inexplicably familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
