There can't be a Harvest Moon in the RimWorld.

The ranch was extremely vast, and at its peak it must have encompassed agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishing, producing goods that piled up like mountains.

But now all I see before me are endless weeds and rocks, and a lonely old house standing there.

I pushed open the door to the house. The floor was made of oak flooring, which had not been completely destroyed by time, except that a few clumps of wild grass had stubbornly grown from the corner of the wall.

In the center is a huge window. The glass has been repaired and is still relatively intact, but the stained glass has almost completely peeled off, like an old woman wearing heavy makeup, making people feel even more uncomfortable.

The area where there used to be a bed no longer shows any trace of a bed frame, suggesting it was taken away a long time ago.

I turned around in place for a moment, and then suddenly turned my gaze to the hibernation pods outside.

This hibernation pod can be used as a comfortable single bed when not powered on. It comes with a synthetic fiber sleeping bag and a health monitoring device, making it a great emergency option.

So I went to the location of the airdrop pod, did some simple disassembly of parts from the pod, and prepared to drag the hibernation pod out.

Character Basic Attributes: Carrying Capacity

This character's ability to carry items using their hands, mouth, or other mechanical devices. The standard value is 750, representing the maximum strength of a normal human.

Related Trait: Bear Grylls (Gold) +25

Child of Nature (Gold) *90%

Health: Operational ability * 100% (weight 100%)

Body size (1.00) multiplier * 100%

Final value: 698”

Before I started, I had a sudden inspiration to look at the basic ability information in the system and wanted to test my load-bearing capacity.

If I remember correctly, while human athletes are not as capable as insects, who can lift objects hundreds or thousands of times their own body weight, there are cases of people lifting three times their own body weight.

也就是说人类极限力量这个750应该类似于大力士的极限成绩，比如历史上的大力士保罗·安德森杠铃深蹲547公斤，杠铃卧推284公斤，硬拉371公斤，台式深蹲2.84吨。而我的最终值698大概是750的93%。

"........."

I can lift something weighing over 200 kilograms and push something weighing over two tons?!

I grabbed a corner of the hibernation pod, put a little effort into my arm, and gently lifted it over my head, carried it on my shoulder, and walked out. I couldn't even feel its weight!

The all-metal hibernation pod is conservatively estimated to weigh over 150kg. Even though the material is aerospace metal and it is hollow, it does not affect the weight increase of the outer metal shell and the circuit board inside.

Somewhat skeptical, I went outside and grabbed a huge rock buried deep underground.

This boulder wasn't as deep underground as I had imagined; it was just covered by a layer of soil. But it must have weighed over 200 kilograms. I lifted it over my head with ease, without even a hint of muscle bulging. It was nothing like the way athletes strain when they exert themselves, with veins popping out and teeth clenched!

I carried the stone for a while, but felt no change in my strength, so I turned my attention to another huge rock lying on the spot.

This one was clearly more than three times the size of the previous one, and its weight was probably close to 800 kilograms. I walked over, grabbed a corner of the stone, and heard a comical arpeggio in my ear, but the stone didn't budge...

I clicked on the character information in my field of view and saw that a short piece of information had been added to the character's status.

Character Information: Marcus, Rancher

Male, cyborg, from Shining City

"Unable to lift this stone"

"........."

It just didn't work.

After this test, I roughly knew where my limits were, so I casually pushed a rock.

Unexpectedly, the stone acted like a sponge, ignoring the resistance of the ground, and I pushed it twenty centimeters away.

"........."

I forgot that I still had more than two tons of thrust.

And so I began my free testing of this ranch, with every stone and tree becoming a tool for my testing.

Through experimentation, I discovered that whether it's one kilogram or two hundred kilograms, I can lift it up effortlessly and walk around without putting any strain on my body.

Strangely, even the depth of the footprints on the ground was exactly the same.

However, if the target object weighs more than 200 kilograms, I cannot lift it even by one centimeter; there is absolutely no situation where lifting force decreases with increasing weight.

In other words, for me, there are only two states: something I can lift easily and something I can't lift at all.

The same applies to thrust. Things that I can push move like they're on pulleys, drifting around. But if the resistance is too great or they get stuck on an object that exceeds the thrust, they won't move an inch.

Moreover, such immense force would not produce the miracle of leaving a handprint on a stone.

Even if I'm holding a leaf, I won't damage its texture unless I consciously use the strength of a normal person.

.........

calm down.

How could I possibly have such a rudimentary judgment pattern, like a game character?

Or perhaps, this system simply applied these data patterns to me in a rigid way?

No wonder my life before the cheat system was launched didn't seem unusual at all.

So it turns out the external data system wasn't online!

Looking at the overgrown weeds and scattered rocks in the courtyard, I suddenly realized that none of these were problems anymore.

I can remove small stones and trees manually without causing any trouble.

I can carry or push large items away from their original location.

If it still can't be pushed away...

Then I can use tools like axes and pickaxes!

What's the difference between humans who don't use tools and apes?!

"That was close, I almost got blinded by the power." I wiped the non-existent cold sweat from my forehead, feeling extremely fortunate that I hadn't become a mountain gorilla.

Of course, nowadays even ordinary mountain gorillas can't beat me.

After setting up the hibernation pods, I looked at the increasingly bright afternoon sunlight outside and decided to start working on the ranch, at least to clear out a piece of land suitable for planting and grazing.

Chapter 6 Simple Foods

As the sun set, I pushed open the tavern door again, looking travel-worn.

At this point, my hunger level had dropped to the warning line, so I had no choice but to come back to Boss Dat's territory and shamelessly ask for a meal.

Given the current situation of the ranch, such incidents will inevitably occur quite frequently in the future.

Boss Dart came out of the kitchen, still dressed in the same shirt and jacket, but with a scarf around his waist, and looked at me with a serious expression.

"Boss, the ranch hasn't been cleaned up yet, so I'll have to bother you again."

I spread my hands helplessly.

Dart didn't seem surprised at all, and nodded slightly as he spoke to me.

"If a ranch that has been abandoned for so many years were so easy to restore, we wouldn't be at a loss. Whether you need to stay here or not, just choose a room upstairs, and we'll put your food and lodging on our tab."

"It's not that difficult... Boss, I've cleaned up my place, I just wanted to borrow your bathroom for a bit."

The boss interrupted my description, made a casual gesture, and steered the conversation toward something more meaningful.

"Young man, what would you like to eat tonight? I don't have a lot of ingredients here, but you can pick a combination you like if you'd like."

For lunch, we had the owner's signature main course set meal, which consisted of a main course of rice, two kinds of cooked food, and a piece of fruit. It made the most of his excellent cooking skills and the original flavor of the ingredients.

"Come in."

The owner lifted the curtain behind the bar to the kitchen, gesturing for me to come over and see what I wanted to eat.

I followed them inside and saw a row of neat kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, and everything else, as well as a fairly complete food rack with different types of ingredients arranged in categories for easy access.

I approached the row of unidentified vegetables, but couldn't see anything different about them. I picked and chose casually, observing these foods that were familiar in my memory but quite unfamiliar in reality.

The owner of Dart gave me a tray and told me to put my favorite ingredients on it while he went out to clean the glasses on the bar.

It's the kind of job where you take a white cloth that hasn't been washed in ages and wipe wine glasses until they shine.

I looked through the list and found meatball powder, chocolate, oil, wheat flour, curry powder, rice balls, bread, and some unidentified herbs.

I picked up a potato and was about to put it on the tray when I got close to the stove next to it. Suddenly, a line of text appeared in my field of vision.

"Available workbench detected."

"Useful materials detected."

"Please have the colonists choose their work assignments."

Choose from the following:

Cook a simple meal.

Cook a delicious meal.

Cook a luxurious meal.

Um? ! ! !

The system is now online!

With my cooking skill level of 8, I should be able to make something good, right?

"Boss, can I borrow the kitchen for a moment?"

Mr. Dart was still wiping the glasses one by one outside, seemingly lost in thought, and simply replied, "Use as you please," without taking it to heart at all.

I received an affirmative answer, so I went to the stove.

"Choose a task: Cook a luxury meal."

Suddenly, a series of comical arpeggios rang in my ears.

"Current cooking skill level is insufficient to work."

.........

"Choose a task: Cook a delicious meal."

Then another series of comical arpeggios filled my ears.
