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

Mrs. Lilia smiled, her eyes crinkling, and covered her mouth as she exclaimed, "Young people are so energetic! My husband used to be just as driven. You two should keep it up!"

"Ok!"

With our tools in hand, the two of us returned to the ranch.

I explained to Lin, "Lin, this is the pasture area I've marked out, with this wooden fence as the boundary. I'll clear out another section of this area later."

I pointed to the other side: "That's where I live. I'll have to trouble you to clean it for me. I'll definitely repay you!"

"Hehe, Marcus, I offered to help out."

Lin happily hummed a song as she went to the river to fetch water, preparing to start cleaning the house.

I also arrived at the ranch area. Looking at the desolate landscape, I made up my mind to develop the ranch properly this time.

Focusing my attention on the corner of my field of vision, I summoned the Colonizer System.

Welcome to Tynan Sylvester's Colony Simulator!

"Select task: Blueprint!"

"Start setting up the planting area - blueprint region. Reverse selection will cancel."

This is a new feature I discovered. It allows you to load and set various plans within the ranch area, but it's just a virtual image and has no impact on the real world.

Functionally, it is used to delineate areas and plan architectural blueprints.

The first step is to plan the planting area.

I rebuilt a neat area within the previously planned pasture fenced area as a planting zone, right next to the potato and pasture fields I had planted.

This will be my sowing area from now on. Judging from the look of it, there's enough for me to sow another dozen or so bags of seeds.

"Confirm the selected planting area/blueprint region".

After the command was given, a phantom-like, neat line emanated from my body, completely enveloping the selected area.

From a distance, it looks as if the land is emitting a faint glow, distinguishing it from other areas.

The second step is to plan the grazing area.

The little pony emoji is now running freely in the ranch, looking very relaxed:

(?'0`?)！

But this isn't a long-term solution. Once the fields are cultivated, we can't let him run rampant like this. Otherwise, if he gets carried away and tramples something, a large part of my pasture will be lost.

Therefore, setting up grazing areas is imperative.

However, this position must be both spacious and continuous.

If an area is grouped together like a planting area, the animals will not have enough space to move around, which will lead to them crowding together and trampling each other, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, I specifically selected a sufficiently wide strip of land at the edge of the wooden fence as a grazing area.

I've positioned the area right next to the pastureland, so I can provide the animals with fodder directly when needed. Adding a wooden fence in the middle will protect the cash crops.

The end of the area connects to the pony's stable, which can be expanded to accommodate all the animals when time permits.

A white light instantly appeared on that land.

Little Pony the emoji probably never imagined that I had already figured it out completely.

The subsequent tasks were simple.

That is to clear the weeds and rocks from the land.

I already have some experience in this area.

Large pieces of wood can be felled and piled up for future use in construction and manufacturing. Smaller pieces don't need much care; just cut the stems with a sickle, dig out the roots with a hoe, and pile them aside to fertilize the soil.

However, stones should not be underestimated.

Large stones have sufficient practical value; they can be cut into usable stone using a stone-cutting table. Small stones are not only useless, but piling them on the ground can also hinder plant growth. And if a hoe accidentally cracks the blade while tilling the land, it will cause problems.

So I decided to bring a hammer and crush these stones to reduce their harmfulness.

"Lin, I'm coming in to get the tools!"

As soon as I entered the house to get the tools, I was utterly shocked by what I saw!

The once dirty and mottled glass windows have been wiped clean, revealing their original transparency.

The clutter that had been piled up in the house was neatly stacked and arranged in the corners of the room, from lightest to heaviest and from largest to smallest. The dust that had filled the room was wiped clean after being sprinkled with water, leaving no trace.

Overall, apart from the floor being damaged by insects and decay due to long-term neglect and unable to be restored, the entire place deserves the title of "livable".

"Marcus! Look at my work!"

Lin was wiping the table with a rag, working diligently, and responded immediately when she heard me call her.

"Incredible! I never thought this house could be saved!"

What a terrible place I used to live in!

"It's not that serious. I'll clean your bed too, and take the blankets to be washed."

Lin hugged the blanket from my hibernation pod and walked out of the house with me, who was carrying tools. Then we saw the little pony with the meme-like expression, curiously watching what was going on inside the house.

"Wow! So cute! Is this your pet, Marcus?"

Upon seeing such an adorable pony, Lin immediately put down her work and went over to stroke its mane.

"This is the pony that Muqi left with me. It seems to have been bullied by the other horses at Muqi's ranch, so I've been keeping it here alone."

"Oh, poor little horse. It was bullied!" Lin sighed with heartache, squatting down to hug its neck.

Little Horse's expression:

(。???。)！

Of course, pitiful, weak, helpless, but able to eat, this little pony is no less than anything else.

Chapter 54 Livable Environment Transformation

"Lin, why don't you play with Xiao Ma for a while and rest? I'll go tidy up the floor."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin indicated that there was a horse to masturbate, so it wouldn't be tiring at all and there wouldn't be any problem.

Lin stroked the pony's head, gently combing its tangled fur, and casually braided it into a thin braid that was both breathable and prevented lice from infesting it.

The little horse felt a bit itchy, so it rubbed its head against Lin's hand and then continued to nibble on the grass on the ground.

I picked up the hammer, axe, and sickle and started working.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from the pasture, startling Lin Luma so much that he trembled as he searched for the source of the disturbance.

In the center of the field, a large tree was leaning heavily, its trunk making a snapping sound as if it could not bear the weight. Many birds that had been perched on its canopy took flight, creating a scene of great turmoil.

The culprit behind all of this was me, standing under the tree.

An axe was deeply embedded in the tree trunk, creating a wound that resembled an explosion. Because of the missing part of its trunk, the tree fell towards the logger.

"Marcus! Danger!"

When Lin saw that I was covered by the trajectory of the fallen tree, she quickly called out to me to get out of the way.

But it was too late. The tree fell faster than she had imagined, and it seemed she was about to lose it.

I stretched out one hand and easily braced the falling tree, lifting the entire tree into the air with effortless ease.

"Lin, were you looking for me?"

"Ah...it's okay...you can continue..."

Lin stared at me in disbelief.

It's good that you're alright.

I pulled the axe from the fallen tree trunk and swung it again, continuing to select other targets in my field of vision.

"The command was selected: Cut down trees."

I held the axe in my hand in a large circle and once again chopped it squarely into the tree trunk. The huge shock shook the withered leaves off the canopy, creating a flurry of falling leaves.

The tree tilted again, but I held it up with one hand. The axe flashed like a shooting star, continuously striking the trunk and cutting the thick trunk into even pieces.

With the system's support, the axe blade cuts through the wood with ease, like a hot knife slicing through butter, completing the process effortlessly.

Lin only saw that there were fewer and fewer trees on the field, and the field was covered with evenly sized pieces of wood scattered in every corner.

"call……"

I exhaled, glanced at the area and saw that all the larger trees had been cleared, then let out a sigh of relief and moved on to the next step.

"Select work command: Remove plants."

I selected all the wild plants within the blueprint's area as targets and then issued the order to cut them down.

I held both the mithril scythe forged by Gray and my original ordinary scythe in my hands, lowered my body slightly, and unleashed two sword shadows.

This description may be a bit exaggerated, but the sickle did indeed create a shadow, like a rapidly splashed curtain of water, forming a continuous expanse of light and shadow.

Wherever the sickle's shadow fell, the weeds trembled slightly as if blown by a gentle breeze, their leaves swaying gently with the air currents, a scene of tranquility.

But after I passed by, the plants fell one after another, and the lush pile of weeds suddenly collapsed!

I walked effortlessly across the land where white shadows floated. The weeds and shrubs collapsed like dominoes, no longer growing wildly as before.

Next up are the stones.

For ease of use, I don't intend to break up those large stones.

As I moved around the field with the agility of a swallow, carrying a large rock in each hand, Lin finally came to her senses and asked.

"Marcus, how come you're so strong? I thought only Gray was strong..."

Hmph, I possess strength close to the limits of human power, so this little stone is nothing to me.

But Gray... that power is no longer human, is it?

"Grey? Yeah, why is he so strong?"

"It seems that Sebala trained his strength from a young age, saying that strength is key for a blacksmith, so he is very strong. Is there a problem with that?"
