At five o'clock in the afternoon on the first day that Annie officially took charge of the Ore Town Ranch, after she threw countless mountain goods into the magical shipping box, a strong, muscular and dedicated outgoing person The cargo clerk, Uncle Zach, unexpectedly did not show up on time, but instead took a rare leave and did not work?
And then, he still didn't show up at 5pm the next day!
After asking the mayor Thomas, the old man with the bad nose, Anne found out that the reason why he didn't show up for two consecutive days was because, that stupid guy, was he injured?
After the other party was besieged by a swarm of bees and was stung with bruises and bruises on his face, he lay at home for two full days until the afternoon of the third day, the day after the sting, until his swollen head and face had almost recovered. , and then resumed his job as a delivery boy, and arrived at Annie's ranch at five o'clock in the afternoon on time.
In fact, Zach's injury was not serious. Dot, the only doctor in Ore Town, also prescribed some cooling and anti-inflammatory ointment for him. The reason why he didn't show up for two days in a row was just hiding at home. I just don’t want to see anyone.
After all, if he goes out with a 'fat and swollen' head, his face will not look good after all.
"..."
However, after arriving at the ranch today, Zach did not rush in to check the shipping boxes.
He first cautiously observed the house for a while, until he found that there were no big changes in the pasture. The large farm was still messy and full of garbage, stones and weeds. There were no signs of being cultivated, and he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there seemed to be no swarms of bees rioting over the apple trees in the distance.
"Hello!"
?(????)?
"Weird Uncle Zach, what are you trying to do by hiding here? Are you trying to play a hide-and-seek game?!"
o(*^▽^*)o
I saw a guy who didn’t show up yesterday afternoon, nor the afternoon before yesterday, but didn’t show up until today, the fourth of spring, and stood furtively beside his ranch house without knowing what he wanted to do. Little Annie, who was so tortured by the '0G' life that her mouth was almost filled with tears, suddenly opened the window and asked a strange question to an uncle who was a deliveryman who was hesitant to walk to the farm.
"Ouch!!"
"Huh? So it's you, Annie? It really scared me to death..."
Zach, who was already suspicious, was so frightened by Little Annie's yelling that he almost jumped up. Then, after accidentally hitting the back of his head and letting out a scream, he hurriedly patted his strong chest and kept repeating. Soothing his frightened little heart.
"What’s wrong with you?"
(???.???)????
"What's so weird... Also, why didn't you come to ship the goods yesterday or the day before yesterday? The goods that I had made for three days have already been thrown into the shipping box, but there are a lot of them!! "
s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ
Anne was a little angry about this.
After all, she rarely worked in the back mountain for three full days in order to make money. She even went there at six o'clock in the morning yesterday and today to prevent others from digging up her bamboo shoots or other things first. In the back mountain, after harvesting all the new growth, I came back to sleep in the cage.
"I want, too!"
"But Annie, you know, I was injured, so I took two days off..."
If possible, Zach really wanted to ask the other person: Why didn't he come the day before yesterday and yesterday, and why he was absent from work for two days without any reason. Don't you, a little kid, have no idea in your heart?
However, there were a lot of adults, and Zach, who didn't intend to care too much about such a little girl, quickly put that matter behind him and asked about another thing that he was more concerned about at the moment:
"That's right, Annie!"
"Um...that swarm of bees on your tree, they shouldn't be rioting today, right?"
That's right, Zach, who had been afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake, was really stung by those bees!
Therefore, if possible, he hoped to enter the ranch of this terrible little girl's family only if his own personal safety was ensured.
After all, he had already taken two full days off. His head and face were still a little swollen, but he had caused a lot of trouble and inconvenience to the residents of Ore Town. If he was stung again, he would be indispensable. We still have to travel for two more days! By then, even if the townspeople didn't tell him, he himself might not have the shame to continue working in this important position as a deliveryman.
"bee?"
∑(′△｀)? !
After hearing the words of Uncle Zach in front of her, Annie subconsciously looked towards the apple tree next to the water pond in the pasture.
"No! Don't worry, Uncle Zach, I didn't pick them out today or yesterday, because eating honey every day will make you tired. Although they make honey very quickly, they will produce a sweet honeycomb every day?"
(????-)?
It turned out that the other party was worried and the reason why he was sneaking around was because of such a trivial matter, so Anne reassured the other party openly.
This world is indeed very strange. Annie discovered that the hard-working bees collected a full nest of honey from the honey she collected on the first day, which made her tangled every time... Well, you will get tired of eating sweet things every day, so if you don’t pay for it, you always feel a bit regretful?
"You really didn't pay?"
"I can rest assured that……"
Although the other party's assurance made him feel a little more relaxed, if possible, Zach still really didn't want to enter this place so quickly that he had such unforgettable and painful memories.
"So, Annie, did you ship yesterday, the day before yesterday, and today? If not, then I won't go and take a look!"
Because he always feels that there is something vaguely dangerous here. This is his intuition, and it is very accurate!
“Of course it’s shipped!!”
ε?(????)?з
"They all shipped the goods the day before yesterday, yesterday and today! They went to the back mountain to get a lot of wild goods, and they dug for three days in a row! But you, this annoying guy, didn't even have them for two days in a row. Show up, and people don’t know if the items in the shipping box are broken or not!!”
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Anne was very angry about this!
She originally thought that the other party would take away the goods she got on the same day and settle the payment for herself, but she never thought that she had been working hard for three days, but she didn't make a penny? As of today, there is still '0G' in her ranch account, which has prevented her from having a good meal for two full days.
"That's good!"
"I was just wondering if you haven't done anything in the past two days..."
After hearing that little Annie said that she was working hard to prepare mountain goods as a transition to the early stage of the farm, Zach finally nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, I heard from Lin and the others that your farm seems to be going bankrupt soon?"
"Well, if that's the case, then I'll give you this fishing rod of mine! I don't need it now because I already have a better one... Anyway, Annie, if you think it's too much to dig for mountain goods, If you are too tired, you can also find a place to fish by yourself. As long as the method is correct, you should gain a lot in one day..."
"Anyway, I don't think you can manage this ranch for the time being, right?"
While speaking, Zach quickly took out a long fishing rod from his deliveryman's backpack and handed it to a little guy who was impatiently waiting for him to ship the goods and settle the bill. As a shipping clerk, his backpack was also blessed by the goddess of this world, just like the shipping box at the ranch, so he could put down things that were out of proportion.
After saying that, feeling that he had finally dealt with the fishing rod that he wanted to throw away but couldn't bear to part with, Zach quickly walked to the shipping box and started to put his hand in and mess with it.
"Fishing..."
?_?
"Is not fun!"
(ˉ▽￣～)Forget it~~
Looking at the fishing rod that the other party handed her from the window, Annie looked at it and felt that fishing was definitely not as good as using fireballs directly. She could fry fish faster, so she threw it directly into a corner by the wall. .
but……
?乛?乛?
The other party's words can be regarded as a reminder to Annie, that is: in addition to mountain products that can be shipped to make money, it seems that fish in the river, sea or lake can also be shipped and sold for money. As for how to use the correct method, Queen Anne is very experienced in getting enough fish quickly!
"Hey! Uncle Zach, wait for me!"
!(;?o?)o
But that doesn't matter now. What Anne cares more about is how much money the uncle who is tinkering with the shipping boxes on her farm will settle for her!
So, after shouting, she hurriedly ran out and ran to the other party's side to stare at him.
Because the things in the shipping box were the result of three full days of work. If she couldn't earn a sufficient amount of money, it would affect her enthusiasm for making money in the future!
Of course, if you earn too much at once, it will also affect your enthusiasm...
"!!"
"Oh my God! How come there are so many things?"
Zach dug into the shipping box and looked inside again, and was shocked by what he saw!
Because, he saw that there were various large and small mountain bamboo shoots inside, which were piled up into a hill, as well as bundles of green grass. He didn't know how many plants there were.
"Why is there still..."
"It's really incredible. This is the most bulk cargo I've seen in Ore Town in all my years as a shipper. It's almost enough to load a cargo ship alone!"
"Huo An will definitely be very happy. He has been worrying about not having a mountain to survive..."
While taking out the things inside, he piled them aside. When he realized that he couldn't finish everything and saw that there was no place to pile them around him, Zach, the deliveryman, was completely shocked! Therefore, he had no choice but to quickly take out a small notebook, record it, and stuff it into his blessed deliveryman bag.
"this……"
"Oh my God, Annie, why are there so many wild beasts here? Where did you get them from?"
After loading an unknown amount of mountain bamboo shoots and green grass, and counting it until my head felt dizzy, and my hands were a little tired from pretending, the deliveryman Zach saw that there were no more mountain bamboo shoots and green grass in the shipping box. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the huge numbers on the notebook and exclaimed.
"Of course it's the back mountain!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
"I visited all the mountains in the back the day before yesterday, yesterday and today! Then, I dug up all the mountain goods I saw! How about it, can they make a lot of money?"
?(????)?
The quantity of mountain goods was unexpectedly excessive. For Annie, who had demolished the back mountain of Ore Town three feet for three days in a row, leaving others with no goods to dig, this was perfectly normal! But now Annie doesn't care if there are many of them, she just wants to know: can they be sold for a lot of money?
"Well……"
"It's indeed a lot. I've done some calculations, and I estimate there will be at least hundreds of thousands of them..."
There should indeed be hundreds of thousands, because there are more than a thousand green grasses alone, each of which costs 100 G, plus hundreds of mountain bamboo shoots that cost 50 G. That's not it. A payment of hundreds of thousands G?
Anyway, regardless of how many goods are left in the other party's shipping box, just for the mountain bamboo shoots and green grass that Zach has already counted, he will have to pay the other party at least hundreds of thousands of G for the goods after he returns. That's Definitely indispensable.
"Hundreds of thousands?!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"Are there really that many?!"
(°ー°〃), stunned
Anne confirmed again with some uncertainty.
Moreover, she had already begun to calculate in her mind... In Sister Dut and Sister Lin's shop, a delicious set meal costs 500 G. If she eats freely under normal circumstances, it will probably cost about 3,000 G. Even if she eats every day, wouldn't the hundreds of thousands be enough for her to eat and drink for more than a month?
(?′?﹃?`?)
Sure enough, collecting mountain goods is really a good way to make a little money. If she runs out of money in the future, she can go shopping in the mountains. Then she will never have to worry about running out of money to spend money here in Ore Town!
"So many wild beasts..."
"Annie, have you dug up all the bamboo shoots and green grass in the mountains?"
To be honest, there were so many shipments in just three days. This really shocked Zach, the shipping clerk, because in his impression, this was equivalent to a month's shipments from Ore Town. The quantity is high!
"That's right!"
(????-)?
"!!"
"Annie, this is not good. Although the goat will grow back every day, you still have to leave some for others..."
When he heard that it was indeed like this, Zach was shocked at first, and then hurriedly persuaded in a low voice.
Although he didn't know what method the little guy with small arms and legs in front of him used to collect so many mountain goods, he only knew that if the other party continued like this, the Ore Town would be in chaos! For example, Doctor Dot, who needs to use green grass to make potions, has no materials to make potions. Woodcutter Gotz or other townspeople who need to eat mountain bamboo shoots cannot eat bamboo shoots, let alone make sour bamboo shoots or dried bamboo shoots...
"No!"
?乛?乛?
"People saw it first, why should I leave it to them?!"
o(′^｀)oHmph!
That's right, the mountain product grew up in the back mountains, and it didn't belong to their family. Moreover, she, Queen Anne, had dug it out by herself from dawn to dusk, so why should she leave it to those lazy guys for no reason?
"Annie!"
"You should listen to my advice and don't dig up all the goods in the mountains every day..."
"No wonder I heard people say that they couldn't dig up mountain bamboo shoots or find green grass for two or three days. It turned out to be a good thing you did! You'd better not do that in the future. It's not good. It will make the people in our Ore Town hate you. If many people hate you, maybe you will really be driven away by everyone?"
"I'm not kidding you!!"
Seeing that the little girl's face still had that unyielding and disbelieving expression, Zach hurriedly warned her again with a bluffing face.
If the other party agrees, then Zach will definitely not tell what happened today. In that case, I believe that everyone who does not know the truth will not hate this new little guy so quickly... After all, this little guy Wrong, Zach thinks we should give the other party some time to correct and re-adapt to their lifestyle and rhythm here in Ore Town?
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"Oh well!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Then I'll dig less in the future and just dig once every few days, right?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anyway, she has made more than 100,000 G in these three days, which is almost enough for Annie to live happily for many days. Therefore, it seems that it is okay to temporarily stop plundering the mountains and confusing the residents of Ore Town. Isn’t it possible?
"That's good!"
"So, the payment is too much. I'll wait until I go back to sort it out and calculate it again before I transfer it to your account?"
Since there were so many local goods this time, it was definitely not appropriate to do an on-site inventory. Therefore, Zach first planned to go back and discuss with Huo An. If the other party was willing to buy it, he might be able to make a small profit from it. Pen?
"You won't secretly undercount other people's money, right?"
(ー`′ー)
Annie frowned her cute little brow and asked with some suspicion.
"!!"
"Am I, Zach, that kind of person?!!"
Zach exclaimed and almost jumped to his feet.
"Um……"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"It looks a bit like..."
(??ω??)
"you!"
"Damn it! You little guy is not cute at all now! That's it. I'm going back. Just remember to check your account later. I won't lose a penny of your money!"
After saying that, the angry deliveryman Zach planned to turn around and leave.
"Hello!"
!(;?o?)o
"Uncle Zach, there are a lot of things in there, why did you just leave?!"
???(＿＿*)??
Anne directly reached out and grabbed the other party's clothes, causing the other party to stagger and almost fall down on the grass of the pasture.
"Let, let go!"
"You little guy, how come you are so strong? How many power fruits have you eaten?!"
After urging the other party to let go of his clothes, he first patted his new clothes distressedly, and then Zach finally understood why the little guy in front of him could dig so many mountain goods by himself! It turns out that the opponent's power is so great. He must be a lucky guy who has eaten several 'Fruits of Power'?
"Really, when you interrupted me like that, I almost forgot that I didn't finish my work..."
"Don't make any noise, let me see first, what other good things have you got?"
After signaling the little guy to stop talking and not to disturb him as he counted the goods, Zach continued to reach into the shipping box.
"!!"
"It seems like there really is something there. How come there are so many? How many mountains have you dug up, little guy?!"
Soon, Zach took out a large handful of moon tear grass and a large bundle of tricolor flowers.
"..."
"The flowers have all faded. Sorry, Annie...this thing cannot be shipped!!"
After speaking, Zach directly threw the bundles of moon tear grass and tricolor flowers aside, indicating that he would not take away those things that seemed to be much more than the green grass just now.
"Isn't it because you didn't come two days ago? It was fresh and beautiful when they first put it in, so it's not this wilted and ugly look now!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Annie thought quietly and whispered in a voice that was sure to be heard by the other party.
"These cannot be shipped even if they are fresh!"
"Annie, please remember that all flowers, except red fantasy grass, other flowers, such as tricolor flowers, moonweed, catnip and green fantasy grass, cannot be shipped!"
Zach knew why the little guy looked a little angry, because this was the result of the other person's hard work, and now that he was throwing it aside like garbage, he would definitely not be happy! But he has no choice, because flowers cannot be shipped. Except for the rare and red fantasy grass that will not wither easily, other flowers really cannot withstand long-distance transportation. Anyone who dares to accept such things will definitely lose money. !
"besides!"
"Annie..."
"Don't put these branches in the shipping box anymore, they can't be shipped! However, if you can process them and store them in the lumber room on your ranch, when you expand your house in the future, Woodcutter Gotts should be able to Can I give you a little less?"
While Zach threw aside the messy wooden branches in the shipping box, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
It must have taken a lot of effort for this little guy to move so many things to the pasture, right?
It's a pity that these wood can't be sold for money... Because when the residents of Ore Town need wood for heating or repairing or expanding their houses, they go directly to the woodcutter Gotts to buy it. The wood there is cheap and good!
Moreover, the other party's wife and daughter both died due to mountain disasters, leaving the other party alone is quite pitiful. In addition, the other party also volunteered as a forest ranger and was responsible for maintaining the safety of the mountains behind Ore Town. Everyone was very fond of that man. I admired him, so I took the initiative to take care of the other party's business. Even if I didn't buy wood, I would never buy it elsewhere!
And this can be regarded as one of the ways of life in Ore Town, and no one will break it easily.
"People know..."
\(“▔□▔)/
"!!"
"Oh my god! You! Why did you catch this monkey? And what is this? A butterfly?!"
"You are so messed up!!"
After taking out two distinctive items, Zach quickly let them go.
But unfortunately, unlike the monkey that seemed to be frightened and quickly ran away to the woods to the south, the butterfly was obviously dead and was thrown directly into the pair of wood piles by Zach.
"Can't they be sold for money?"
=????('ヮ'=????)?
"Of course not!!"
"Annie! You have to remember that in the future, you should not put anything else in the shipping box except fish! However, if you can catch ancient fish fossils or pirate treasures, you can put them in."
"But there are very few of those things. I guess you can't catch them..."
Continuing to reach out and dig out, Zach continued to point at the little girl.
"oh……"
(′～`●)
Annie couldn't really be blamed for this, and no one told her what things could and couldn't be sold for money. Of course, she had no choice but to catch them all.
"alright!"
"Don't say anything yet. Let me see first what you, little guy, have brought back in the past three days?!"
After taking out a live monkey, Zack couldn't help but begin to look forward to the little girl's 'collection'. He wanted to see what kind of ability the other party had and whether he could get some that could be shipped, which were particularly rare. stuff?
"..."
(?╭╮?)
If you don't say it, don't say it. Anne doesn't like it!
"!!"
"This is...Chunchan?!"
"Oh my God, why are all the beetles getting in..."
"Ouch! There are hares too!!"
"Okay, Annie, although this thing can't be shipped, I bought it and gave you 300 G. We will calculate it in the account later. I guess Huo An will like eating spicy rabbit heads."
"??"
"A wild dog? Poor guy, I hope Mucci can cure it..."
"Wow!!"
“Old, there are rats?!”
After exclaiming, Zach wiped the cold sweat on his head, glanced at a certain little girl who kept her mouth shut and stayed aside, and then continued to dig into the shipping box.
"spider?"
"Ha! I'm not afraid of this! This can't be shipped! Annie, you have to remember that except fish, other living things are not allowed! But fish are also divided into sizes, but not types. I know this is unfair, but I didn’t set the price..."
"Small fish that are not long enough are only 50 grams, fish of moderate length are 120 grams, and large fish over a certain length are 200 grams. So as long as you are willing to work hard, fishing can also maintain the pasture, although it may be a bit Not doing your job properly?"
Just like that, while taking things out and taking out the spiders, beetles, unknown debris, live squirrels and other things from the shipping box, Zach did not forget to follow the guidance of someone who was quietly sitting aside. The little girl warned.
"??"
"What is this? Canned squid? Or specimen squid?!"
Finally, when the shipping box was gradually emptied, Zach suddenly took out a strange bottle with something like a squid stuffed in it?
"!!"
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
"Don't, don't move! It was accidentally thrown away by mistake!!"
∑(っ°Д°;)っ
Seeing this, Annie rushed forward, snatched back the bottle that Uncle Zach was about to unscrew, and put it away again.
Because that was the ancient god N'Zoth who was captured by her and sealed in a bottle in the world of Azeroth! Fortunately, she stayed nearby today and discovered it early. Otherwise, if the other party really shipped and took it away, and then opened the lid and let it out by some unsuspecting guy, then the world would be in trouble!
In Annie's opinion, the goddess or kappa, or other similar local gods in this small world will definitely not be N'zoth's opponent! By then, there will inevitably be another world corrupted by shadow creatures like the Ancient God and big trouble!
"Mysterious..."
"You should also have a pocket that has been blessed by the goddess, am I right?"
Seeing that the other party stuffed the glass bottle into the small pocket on the skirt, but it didn't look changed at all from the outside, Zach nodded, and finally understood why the little girl Annie in front of him could get back so much. What a mess.
"Huh? What is this...why does it feel cold and soft to the touch..."
Finally, after digging around in the shipping box for a while, the attentive deliveryman Zach found the only remaining small thing in the corner that looked a little weird and dark. Then, he After touching it carefully, he grabbed it and took it out.
"!!"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
"snake!"
"It's a snake!!!"
Amidst the screams, the green snake bit Zach's wrist in one bite, and then ran away after he let go and discarded it.
"Annie!!!"
"Why do you even throw this kind of thing into the shipping box?!"
Covering his wrist with one hand, and causing the tissue venom to flow along the blood too quickly, Zach once again angrily scolded a little girl who still looked confused.
Despite all precautions, he still got caught in this little girl's ranch, and was once again 'gloriously' wounded here...
"Someone caught it in the mountains. I thought it was a wild product, so..."
(*?′?`?)
Anyway, you can't blame her for this, she didn't mean it...
Besides, you won't die if you get bitten. Although the thing is poisonous, as long as you protect it properly, there will definitely be no problem! Moreover, it can only be blamed on the opponent's stupidity. Wouldn't he shake it quickly when he caught it? Just like when she grabbed it, she shook it gently twice and it wilted!
"!!"
"you you!!"
"I, I won't tell you anymore. Now your shipping box is empty. I will settle the payment for you slowly in the evening. I'm leaving first!!"
After saying that, the deliveryman Zach, who felt helpless towards a certain hateful little girl, grabbed his bitten wrist and hurriedly ran towards the north of Ore Town.
Now he needs to go to the hospital to find doctor Dot and lovely nurse Ellie to help treat wounds and inject anti-venom. He knows that the hospital in the town has the serum of several venomous snakes that are common near Ore Town... However, I am afraid that the patient will not receive anti-venom. In the past few days, Zach, the deliveryman, had to take leave again!
Ever since a little girl came to Ore Town and took over the ranch, Zach, his delivery boy who was never absent in rain or shine, was actually injured twice on her ranch, both times because of the other party. , thinking about it makes him feel extremely sad and angry!
"Hello!!"
\(“▔□▔)/
Annie shouted, and when she was about to say that she could help with treatment, the other party had already disappeared.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Really..."
(?ˇεˇ??)))
"You can't blame others for being poisoned to death~!"
??(??￣?￣)????
Anyway, Annie had just shouted, but the other party didn't listen. You really can't blame her for not helping!
——————————
??????: Ouch! Those of you who don’t vote, be careful if the little master throws some kind of fun little animal into your bed~!
