i am a rancher

Chapter 8 The Trading Floor
When I woke up, it was already daylight outside.

There are crisp birdsong in my ears.

Simple wooden bed.

Yang Yuan stretched fiercely, sat up and looked out the window, all the peanuts in the Nine Pieces of Lingtian were ripe.

Peanut seedlings are golden and lush, with the words 'can be harvested' on the top.

"what time is it?"

He took out his phone and looked at it, only to find that it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

"Collect the peanuts first, and then go to sell the peanuts. After one night, many people should have magic crystals, right?"

Thinking of this in his heart, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, got out of bed, and went outside.

It's sunny outside and the temperature is right.

It seems that after the extension of the land, even the climate has undergone some changes.

It stands to reason that it is November now, and it has already started to get cold.

"Maybe my physique has become stronger and I am more adaptable to the environment?"

Yang Yuan was thoughtful.

He came outside, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he took out his hoe and began to harvest peanuts with his bare hands.

Although I was proficient at harvesting peanuts with my bare hands last night, and now that it is no longer dark in broad daylight, I can see clearly and harvest faster.

But it also took 5 minutes to harvest one plant in the end.

"This speed is really too slow. We must earn more magic crystals in the future. Every time we plant with one click and harvest with one click, it will be cool."

A peanut was harvested, and the experience increased again.

Yang Yuan speeded up, while others were working hard killing monsters, he was working hard here.

And every time a crop is successfully harvested, a little experience must be gained.

Of course, every time he harvested a plant, he would plant another one.

If ignoring the function of quickly ripening by consuming magic crystals, his promotion route of gaining experience through planting can be said to be very stable, and there will be no cost income.

In other words, the cost is just physical strength and time, and crops and experience can be harvested every six hours.

Finally, after nearly an hour, all the peanuts were harvested, and a total of nine experience points were gained.

Plus the previous eleven points of experience, just full.

In an instant, the feeling from yesterday reappeared, [-] points of experience and [-] points of spiritual energy reserve were fused and absorbed by Yang Yuan's body.

In just an instant, his physique and strength, and even his nervous reactions, were undergoing drastic transformation and being crazily strengthened.

Perhaps it is protected by the rules of the game, so although this kind of strengthening is violent, it is like a gentle breeze and light rain, making people not uncomfortable, but rather refreshing.

After a few seconds, the upgrade ends.

Yang Yuan only felt that his whole body was transparent, hearty and refreshed, and he had inexhaustible energy all over his body.

"Another increase in strength of about one hundred kilograms!"

He clenched his fist secretly, very satisfied with this promotion.

In addition, my physical fitness has also improved a lot, and I have become more adaptable to the environment.

The improvement of this kind of physique includes the toughness, strength and resilience of flesh and blood bones, etc.

"It seems that before the tenth level, each increase should be one hundred kilograms... Well, others may only have ten kilograms."

He is very satisfied with this harvest.

This upgrade, there is no reminder whether it is the first player to reach level [-], and it is not known whether someone reached level [-] first, or the rules of the game have changed.

"It's time to sell peanuts and hopefully get a good price."

Yang Yuan didn't waste any time, and walked directly towards the building on the edge of the mini-map.

It's exactly 2000 meters away from the ranch, at the very edge of the minimap.

But the small map moves with him as the center.

So after he moves, the positions of the landmarks visible on the mini-map will also change.

I met a few people on the road, but those people just glanced at him from a distance and ignored them.

Perhaps all the wild monsters in this area have been killed, so there is no danger along the way.

Although more than 2000 meters is not far, but because there are thorny roads and wild forests, it took Yang Yuan nearly an hour to finally reach the building 2000 meters away from the ranch.

The building looks a bit like a supermarket, but unexpectedly, it is full of people.

Many people were setting up street stalls to sell various things, among which meat was the most, which filled the place with a strong smell of blood.

Of course, there are other things sold, such as bread, mineral water, even instant noodles and toffee.

They should have snatched those things in the supermarket, because the supermarket was vacated, leaving only three long counters at the corners of the three walls except the entrance in the huge hall.

No one paid attention to Yang Yuan's appearance. He looked around outside and was not in a hurry to set up a stall, but came to the hall inside the building.

There are also quite a few people here, almost all of them gathered around the counter in the corner.

Those counters were originally counters selling tobacco and alcohol, but now it seems that they have been modified by the rules of the game, and they can be bound to the game panel in their minds.

The counter is already full of things, including venison, animal horns, animal skins, and of course Old World tobacco, alcohol, bread, and so on.

Yang Yuan uses his own game panel binding to open the counter panel named 'Trading Desk'.

Seeing the price displayed above, ordinary venison is ten catties per magic crystal, and ordinary rice is thirty catties per magic crystal.

As for food like bread, one magic crystal can buy ten.

Yang Yuan discovered that the pricing of this trading desk was actually the price stipulated by the game, and it was not possible to customize the price.

And this price is based on the average value of all players' existing magic crystals, and will be adjusted according to the average rise and fall of all players' magic crystals.

Now because many people do not have magic crystals, magic crystals are very precious and have a very strong purchasing power.

Then it will appear that the material is very cheap.

"No wonder there is a trading desk here, and there are so many people setting up stalls outside."

Yang Yuan seemed to understand something.

It is worth mentioning that this trading desk does not collect taxes, and as many magic crystals are sold, as many will be credited.

And inside the trading desk, those things that belonged to the supermarket originally were marked, who originally belonged to them, and after they were sold, the magic crystals belonged to them.

The original owner can also take these things away.

This game is very fair, and it does not take by force.

"Then my peanut, what price will the game give?"

He tried to put quality 1 peanuts into the trading desk, and the system popped up the selling price of peanuts: one kilogram of magic crystal.

"A magic crystal costs two catties? So cheap?"

Yang Yuan frowned, he still wanted to sell five magic crystals for a catty.

If a magic crystal weighs two catties, it seems that there is no profit at all if you grow it by ripening.

Because, from planting to harvesting my own peanuts, I need to consume eight magic crystals, and in the end I can only harvest ten catties.

At this price set by the system, it takes [-] catties of peanuts to earn ten magic crystals, which simply makes me lose everything.

But after thinking about it, as long as the magic crystals are not consumed to ripen, I will make a lot of money.

Even if planting and harvesting are done with bare hands, it will be a completely costless business. Every six hours, you can get five magic crystals.

And one-click planting and one-click harvesting, if you don't ripen, you can earn three magic crystals every six hours.

In fact, I can earn more, because I now have nine small spirit fields, and if I use one-key planting and one-key harvesting, I can get a net profit of 27 magic crystals every six hours.

That's not a lot.
