Chapter 247: First Ranch Construction! Ranch’s New Plan!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Lin received the notification of his character leveling up and immediately looked at the upgrade information.
This time it was upgraded when he was selling wood.
In other words, the character upgrade not only increased experience by planting and picking crops, but also by fishing, harvesting mountain goods, and cutting trees.
He looked at the upgrade information. With this upgrade, there were more things open.
First, he opened up 12 Level 1 plots of land. He could also upgrade six Level 2 plots of land, one Level 3 plot of land, and one Water Field.
However, Qin Lin’s attention was not on these lands now, but on the information [The ranch is open].
In Ranches Story, the ranches section was naturally indispensable. There were even many magical animal husbandry types and many competitions about animals. One could obtain strange rewards in these competitions.
Racing was one of them.
Qin Lin controlled his game character to head to the ranch area. In the old version of the game, the ranch itself had ranch buildings, such as chicken coops, horse coops, and cow coops.
As long as he had enough gold coins, he could spend money to buy chickens and cows.
The new version of the game was a little different from those old versions. The game character level was not high enough, and the ranch area had been in a state of waiting to be unlocked.
[Do you want to spend gold coins to unlock the open ranch area?]
Look, the new version was not enough. Even the opening of the ranch required gold coins.
He could only say that the game planner was a real dog.
Fortunately, he had been cutting trees and mining to sell. Coupled with some crops planted in the land, he still had enough game gold coins.
A moment later, the ranch area was unlocked and the game character successfully entered the ranch area. However, the ranch area was empty.
[The current ranch is Level 1. It can be built into a chicken coop and a duck coop!]
Qin Lin received another message.
In other words, this ranch facility had to be upgraded one level at a time like those lands. New buildings had to be opened, and only the corresponding buildings could be used to raise the corresponding livestock.
The new version looked like it had copied another familiar web game.
Currently, Level 1 ranches could only build chicken and duck houses.
Qin Lin thought about the current situation of his villa and directly clicked on the duck house to build it.
Actually, the nutritional value of duck and chicken was similar. They were both very nutritious and common meat products.
Furthermore, the ducks and chickens produced by the game should be the same as the crops. The most basic was Quality 1. Be it the meat or the eggs, they would definitely be better than the ones in the outside world.
However, because he wanted to join the racetrack, Sun Ming had already gotten the people from Youcheng First Construction Company to redesign the design. Before the new blueprint was released, there was no place to raise chickens. He could not let them run around.
However, it was different for ducks. This was because the villa still had a portion of the use of the reservoir. The reservoir was a natural breeding ground for ducks.
He would build some duckhouses in the reservoir beside the villa and raise the ducks in the game. At that time, this duck would be a new breed of duck that could only be eaten in Qinglin Villa.
The key was that if this was done well, he could obtain the Quality 1 meat provided by the mountain villa without entering the game.
On the other hand, there were more ducks and duck feces. He had to raise fish under the duck house.
Duck dung was the most nutritious of all the conventional livestock and poultry feces.
Because the duck’s intestines were too short, the food did not stay in the intestines for long. The feed could only absorb a portion of it, and most of it had become a treasure to be pulled out. Therefore, many farms would use duck feces a second time.
Naturally, duck dung had to be specially fermented to be used to raise fish. This required a high salary to hire a few professionals.
Therefore, it was completely feasible to raise ducks and fish.
Now, there were hundreds of wild black carps, grass carps, and bass in the ranch pool. They could be taken out and placed in.
When the time comes, this duck house might become Chen Shengfei’s favorite place.
In the game.
After the duck house was built, it was still empty. The ducklings needed to be bought.
Qin Lin controlled his game character to leave the ranch in a hurry. In the game, he had to go to other ranches to buy livestock.
The game character arrived at another ranch in the town and met the NPC rancher, triggering the conversation:
[Are you the owner of that new ranch? Your ranch has a lot of things to do. I have a lot of livestock to sell. I hope you can develop the livestock industry in Ore Town with me!]
After the conversation, the names of a large row of livestock appeared in front of him, but only duck and chicken could be bought.
There were also pigeons, peacocks, swans, pigs, cows, horses, deer, sheep, and so on… However, like the farm seeds, these were all gray and could not be bought if he was not high enough in level.
Qin Lin directly clicked on the purchase button. There was no limit to the number of ducks. Anyway, he had enough game coins to buy 50 ducks.
After the purchase, the rancher’s conversation reappeared:
[Haha, you bought 50 ducklings. They’ll liven up your ranch. Go back to the ranch and wait. I’ll send the ducklings over soon.]
Qin Lin clicked to end the conversation and controlled his game character to return to the ranch immediately. He realized that the rancher was already waiting at the entrance.
[The ducklings are already in the duckhouse. We’ve given you some feed. The ducklings are very cute. Take good care of them. Their meat and eggs will be delicious when they grow up!]
