Farming in Pirate World

It was night, Li Ming was lying on the thatched bed in the small thatched house, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The old fisherman in the town told him that there might be a storm on the sea tonight, which might affect this small island.

By then, it will rain heavily on the island, so you should put your clothes away in advance and try not to go out.

Li Ming was convinced by the experience of the old fisherman, but the plan still had to go ahead.

It only took him less than half a day to plant some of the sweet potato seedlings he had obtained.

Next, it depends on the capabilities of the system.

Of course, Li Ming didn't just place his hopes on the system.

Most of the seeds I collected are still well preserved in the hut. Now I only plant some sweet potatoes, which can only be regarded as experiments.

Sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, the most widely spread name is "sweet potato". The growth cycle is not long or short, but it has strong vitality. Before it matures, if there is an emergency, it can be harvested in advance.

It’s just that the harvest will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, this thing has a high starch content and is one of the most commonly used brewing raw materials in this pirate world.

Don't worry about selling at all.

It doesn’t matter how powerful the skill [Wind and Rain] is, as long as it has a little bit of adjustment ability to allow the sweet potato seedlings to take root in the soil, you shouldn’t be able to make any losses.

"Boom!"

Thinking in his mind, Li Ming tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply climbed up from the thatch, only to hear a loud "bang", followed by the sound of pattering rain.

Li Ming opened the door, and the strong earthy smell made him frown.

When he walked out of the door, the pattering rain fell on his face and soaked his hair, but he didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

There was a violent roar and lightning flashed in the thick dark clouds.

The big raindrops crackled on the soil in the distance, and even made a small crater in some sparse soil.

Are these raindrops? These are living little cannonballs!

"This is the strange climate in the pirate world."

But...this heavy rain has no effect on him.

The sky-wide curtain of rain surrounds his farmland, which is not too big. It seems that it can invade at any time, but it is bound by an invisible boundary.

The boundary of the farmland, where the invisible force is always present, seems to have a natural moat, dividing the inside and outside of the farmland into two different worlds.

Outside the farmland, it was raining like an apocalypse, with violent raindrops hitting the ground like steel balls.

Compared with the scene outside, inside the farmland, there was just the patter of rain, and the cold rainwater floated on his face, like the hair of a kitten rubbing Li Ming's face, making him feel slightly itchy.

The rain is neither too much nor too little, just enough to moisten the land, but not wash away the mud in the soil.

His cabin also escaped damage.

"The system skills are so terrifying."

Subconsciously, I clicked on the system, and the rustic golden interface emerged in the void.

【The weather is good】the big characters flashed with golden light, and also cast a layer of mystery in Li Ming's eyes.

This heavy rain is rare even in the world of pirates. For Li Ming, a newcomer who has just come to this world, it is more likely to be a devastating blow.

But I didn't expect it to disappear like this.

"[King Dao System]?"

"What a good thing."

Li Ming's favorability towards the system was instantly increased, and his dissatisfaction with the deceptive effect of [Wang Ba Qi] was completely eliminated.

I can't help it, it's just too fragrant.

"This system is simply designed for farming!"

Li Ming thought about it, and then looked at the gilded system interface that was as luxurious as a nouveau riche, and the original rustic feeling suddenly became friendly.

Golden land, golden wheat...

Gold! This is the color of harvest!

Good sign!

...

The next day, Li Ming got up late as expected.

Last night, in order to continue to confirm the effect of the skill, he walked back and forth several times in the rain. When he woke up early in the morning, he was lucky not to catch a cold.

Fortunately, the weather in this world is fickle. Heavy rain comes and goes quickly. When it gets dark, the heavy rain has gradually stopped.

Opening the small wooden door, the land in the field, moistened by rain, is constantly exuding an attractive fragrance. The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and it is a good weather at first glance.

"The weather in the pirate world is really unreasonable."

With this sigh, Li Ming checked the sweet potato seedlings in the farmland several times and confirmed that the sweet potato seedlings were not affected by last night's heavy rain. Li Ming packed up his things and prepared to go to town to do errands first.

Humans are social animals. It sounds cool to live in seclusion in the mountains, but it is extremely unrealistic.

Moreover, Li Ming is in a dangerous world like One Piece. Only by staying together can he survive better. This is an iron rule!

Li Ming is no exception.

Li Ming's cabin is attached to this town, located on the wasteland not far from the town, and only about ten minutes' walk from the town.

Most of the time during the day, Li Ming would choose to go to town to do odd jobs to earn some food expenses.

The sweet potatoes in the fields have just been planted and are far from harvest time, so we can only earn some hard money by working part-time.

You need to eat.

Moreover, the town suffered heavy rain last night, so there must be a lot of jobs in need of manpower, so jobs will be easier to find.

"Take advantage of the opportunity and try to save some money. If you can find an opportunity to buy a cow, things will be much easier to handle in the future."

Thinking like this, the outline of the town appeared in front of Li Ming's eyes.

The town is not big. In terms of area, it is actually no different from a village. The only difference is that the town is close to the sea and has a small natural port. Businessmen who come and go occasionally stop here to replenish supplies, so it gradually becomes prosperous.

Walking into the town, the formerly quiet town became noisy.

The roofs of many houses were cracked by last night's heavy rain, and objects outside were also damaged. They were all urgently repairing them.

But after all, they are natives of this world, and most of them have almost adapted to this kind of thing, so it is not too troublesome to deal with it.

After walking through the town and chatting with a few familiar villagers, Li Ming went directly to the town's tavern.

"Hey! Boy, how is your vegetable patch doing now?"

"Thanks to you, I can barely do it."

"Haha, you're a duck with a tough mouth."

Behind the simple bar, a middle-aged man smiled and joked at Li Ming. Li Ming did not explain, but took a cigarette from his arms and handed it to him enthusiastically.

"Oh, this is a good thing. It's rare that you are willing to take it out to honor me."

The middle-aged man gently took the cigarette, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He looked intoxicated, then clamped it to his ear, but he didn't want to smoke it.

Cigarettes are not produced on this small island. All tobacco in the town is transported by shipping merchants, and cigarettes are even rarer.

"Look what you said, with my little possessions, compared to you, what other good things are there?"

"Come on, you're the only one with a sweet mouth."

Even though he knew it was flattery, the middle-aged man still grinned.

He poured a glass of low-alcohol ale from his hand and handed it to Li Ming. The middle-aged man said with a smile:

"You must have seen the rain last night, right?"

"I told you, the weather here is changing too fast for us to farm. If we have time, we might as well come back to my tavern and become a waiter. There's nothing wrong with that."

"If it doesn't work out, just go fishing with Old Maud. It's a skill after all."

"Old Maud likes you so much, and he has no children. He has long wanted to pass on his skills to you. Those boys in the south can't learn from them even if they want to."

Although the heavy rain last night was rare, he had seen the world and didn't make too much of a fuss.

The heavy rain may seem scary, but it is not even considered a natural disaster. For ordinary villagers, it can only break a few roofs, and they can just repair them.

But for Li Ming, who wants to be a farmer, the rain can be said to be a disaster.

"If it doesn't work out, you can work with me in the defense team for two years. If you perform well, when old man Hall starts kicking, I will guarantee you to be the mayor."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows at Li Ming as if to show off.

"How about it, feel free to move!"

He shrugged his nose and licked his lips. Finally he couldn't hold it back, so he took off the cigarette from his ear and held it in his mouth.

Li Ming took out the match, lit the middle-aged man's fire, and lit a cigarette for himself.

"You are joking, I only have a child, so I can be the mayor."

"I came here today to ask you something."

"explain."

Dalton puffed out a smoke ring coolly, and his mouth was filled with the smell of tobacco. Dalton was in a good mood.

"I want to buy the wasteland to the north, so I want to discuss it with you."

Dalton choked on the cigarette and coughed violently.

"What?"
