Chapter 100: Stealing Business Right In Front Of Us
Feed comes in two types: Ordinary Feed costs 5 Crystal Coins, one poultry needs 4 portions, and rabbits eat for a pair.
Advanced Feed costs 10 Crystal Coins, and one portion can shorten harvest time by 2 hours.
Poultry includes chickens, ducks, and geese; except for big geese at 30 Crystal Coins, the others are all 20 Crystal Coins.
Feed prices are the same, and just 2 portions of Ordinary Feed are needed.
Planting types include common rice, Wheat, Potato, Vegetables, Fruit, and Medicinal Herbs.
Fertilizer is also 10 Crystal Coins per portion, and one Planting Ground needs two portions.
Processing machines are all free to use.
The NPC Boss looked them up and down, with an expression like they were getting a huge bargain.
“I only have just over 300 Crystal Coins in total. I haven’t gotten the rewards from this Instance yet.” Player 7 sighed.
Calculating it out, if he bought one goose and planted a batch of Potato and Corn, he’d be out of money and couldn’t plant a second batch at all.
He had never loved planting and working the land as much as he did now, but not having money to buy Seeds felt too awful.
“Don’t worry, the Farm can also buy back your harvested Supplies.” The NPC Boss showed his standard Unscrupulous Merchant smile and displayed the buyback prices for them.
For example, raising one sheep costs at least 70 Crystal Coins minimum, and the Farm’s uniform buyback price is 120 Crystal Coins, netting 50 Crystal Coins profit.
Chickens, ducks, and geese harvested after 8 hours can net 20 Crystal Coins profit.
Player 7’s mouth twitched; after bustling for a whole day, 24 hours, the most they could earn was 60 Crystal Coins—no split coins or Supplies?
Supplies taken out to sell to other Players aren’t this price; the NPC is too unscrupulous.
Everyone was calculating how to use the fewest Crystal Coins to get the most Supplies. Seeds for Fruit and Vegetables are expensive, so they could basically be given up, or if they had Seeds on hand, they could save a sum.
Yu Jiang had already quickly purchased and paid; watching her spend over a thousand Crystal Coins without batting an eye, the other five were all stunned.
This is what a Big Shot is like? So strong.
“Hiring someone to shovel manure for 20 Crystal Coins for 24 hours—anyone willing? Need two; the remaining 12 hours is 10 Crystal Coins.” She asked.
Raising poultry and livestock requires shoveling manure once per batch; Yu Jiang wasn’t short on Crystal Coins now and just didn’t want to do this work.
“Me me me! I’ll work without slacking!” Player 7 exclaimed in wild joy.
With these 30 Crystal Coins, he could raise one more goose or plant some Medicinal Herbs; the cow manure from shoveling could even be used as Fuel.
“Can I?” Player 5 asked softly, worried everyone still minded Player 4’s Lingering Fear.
“Sure.” Yu Jiang readily paid them 30 Crystal Coins each.
Big Sister 2 and Leather Jacket 3 actually wanted to earn this money too, but seeing the two a bit downcast, they didn’t say anything.
They didn’t mind having more Crystal Coins; for Player 7 and 5, these 30 Crystal Coins were quite important.
Player 5 had been previously tricked badly; not only had the All-Purpose Vitality Pill for improving Strength been given away, but most of the Crystal Coins were also in Player 4’s Lingering Fear hands.
Yu Jiang: “If you don’t have enough Crystal Coins for Seeds or chicken, duck, or goose seedlings, I can cover it, but I want two-thirds of the harvested Supplies.”
The NPC could buy back for profit; she could do it this way too!
“Okay!”
Player 5 nodded, and Player 7 also thought this was fine.
The NPC in the Wooden House looked at Yu Jiang, pursed his lips, and snorted.
Stealing business right in front of him!
After buying everything, they headed straight to the Breeding Area; Yu Jiang raised two sheep, one Cow, and one donkey.
They could directly operate on the Light Screen in the Farm’s Breeding Area to put the animals in.
Just pour the Feed into the trough.
Yu Jiang had carefully checked the Light Screen and felt that the restarted Farm was like the Service Area in some ways.
Uncle 10 and Big Sister 2 also raised sheep; it was still extreme cold weather On the Road, and Wool was Rare Resources, very expensive.
There were also geese, which could yield Goose Feather for making Down Jackets.
These two were everyone’s top choices.
Leaving the Breeding Area, the group headed straight to the adjacent Planting Area; Big Sister 2 took out her Searchlight, so everyone had no worry about not seeing clearly at night.
With the non-consuming stamina and Planting Ground Light Screen boost, everyone’s Speed was very fast.
Yu Jiang’s four Planting Grounds: two fully planted with Medicinal Herbs, one with Vegetables and Fruit, and the last one with some picked-up Corn and Potato Seeds, plus some Millet and Wheat.
Her Planting Grounds plus those of 2 and 10 meant they took longer,
while the other three had already finished their Planting Grounds and were still busy.
The three were very proactive in offering to help, especially Player 5 and 7 who had received help before.
After finishing everything, it was already late at night; everyone was excited about the restarted Farm’s functions and didn’t feel tired at all—they couldn’t sleep even lying in bed.
Everyone went with Yu Jiang to the Storage Warehouse again.
Before, they could smash the lock or pry off the Sheet Metal on top; now it was directly unobstructed.
The dust on the Shelling Machine and Grinding Mill was gone, and there was a Light Screen for direct operation and use.
The reward for Happy Farm was one word: awesome!
With harvests from the Breeding Area and Planting Grounds, these Supplies seemed ordinary.
Yu Jiang, 2, and 10 really couldn’t carry away so many Things.
Actually, these Supplies felt just right divided into 10 portions.
In the end, Yu Jiang discussed with 2 and 10; the three of them would take 70%.
2 and 10 each taking 25%, Yu Jiang suggested she take 20% was fine; she had already Searched once before and had the most Supplies on hand.
The remaining 30% divided among the other three.
“If not for you all, I wouldn’t even know if I could survive; we agreed no Supplies, but you still shared with us—thank you so much!”
Player 7 sincerely expressed thanks; along the way, nothing good had happened except after entering this Instance announcing the Farm restart.
If every future Instance had such good Luck, meeting such strong and nice Big Shots, how great that would be.
Player 5’s Aftershock didn’t know if he was unlucky or lucky, but he was also very grateful to the three.
Player 3 was asking if they could add each other as Friends after going out, in case they met again next time.
After dividing the Supplies, Yu Jiang, 2, and 10 used Handcarts to push back to the Main House Backyard, first placing them under the eaves, to take out of the Instance later.
That was their plan, but on the way back, the NPC Boss preparing to Rest reminded them,
“Carts can only be used in the Farm and can’t be taken out, unless paying Crystal Coins—100 Crystal Coins each.”
Big Sister 2 and Uncle 10: He could clearly just rob them directly but still gave them a Handcart.
“Got it.” Yu Jiang made a gesture and said to the two,
“No problem, I have Urea Sacks, and there’s also a Supermarket Cart.”
Uncle 10 nodded in astonishment and gave her a thumbs up; first time seeing someone enter an Instance bringing a Supermarket Cart.
Accommodation in the Main House was a bit different too: 20 Crystal Coins for a Room, 10 Crystal Coins for the First Floor Sofa or Folding Bed.
10 Crystal Coins could only sleep 5 people max; finally Yu Jiang and Big Sister 2 went to stay in a Room on the second floor, and the rest chose Folding Beds.
Yu Jiang specially checked the Wooden Board and Furniture she had knocked off before—yep, all restored.
Furniture and bedding in the Room were all very clean, no odd smells, and the Bathroom hot water was normal.
She even scanned everything with the Light Screen before daring to use it.
After a tiring day, Yu Jiang locked the door, took a shower, dried her hair with the Room’s Hair Dryer, and prepared to sleep.
She still had to set the Alarm Clock on the bedside table; she’d need to get up a bit after 6 a.m. to harvest veggies! Another batch after 8 a.m.
After doing everything, Yu Jiang lay comfortably on the bed and sighed deeply; as she closed her Eyes, she thought to herself:
She wondered how Strawberry Candy and Purple Butt Can Do It, who also entered Happy Farm, were doing.
Yu Jiang: Planting, breeding, harvesting Supplies, sleeping in the Farm Guesthouse
Strawberry Candy and Purple Butt Can Do It: o(╥﹏╥)o exposed to wind and dew, hiding everywhere, even the Ghille Suit ran off
