Farming in Pirate World

"What? You still want to buy land? You idiot, your brain is burned out."

Dalton frowned and slowly blew out the smoke from his mouth:

"Last night, it probably rained a lot over your side. Were the sweet potato seedlings flooded?"

I originally thought that Li Ming's wasteland would definitely be flooded by rainwater, and I wanted to make fun of it. Who would have thought that this guy would actually want to buy land.

This is completely different from what I thought.

"Thanks to you, I barely escaped."

Speaking of this, Li Ming smiled unconsciously.

When he chose farming as a livelihood, he admitted that he was gambling, but he was right.

This rich gold system is actually so easy to use.

"You have some skills."

Dalton looked at the smile on Li Ming's face in surprise, took another puff of cigarette, thought for a while and said:

"There's no problem with buying the land. It's just wasteland that no one wants anyway. It doesn't matter if it's given to you for free. But are you sure you can take care of it?"

Dalton casually agreed to Li Ming's words. After all, it was just a piece of wasteland that no one wanted. Even if Li Ming didn't mention it at all and quietly reclaimed it for direct use, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Li Ming, this kid, looks young, but he is quite sophisticated in his actions. He has a tender face, sweet mouth, good manners, sharp eyes and hard work, and is very lovable in his actions.

From the time he fled to this island half a year ago, to now, the folks in the town have a good impression of Li Ming, and Dalton also takes good care of him.

Old Maude from the south of the village had been a fisherman all his life and had no children. He even had the idea of ​​passing on his fishing skills to Li Ming.

However, Li Ming looked at the reward notice on the wall of his tavern. He didn't know what was going on in his head. He was talking about "One Piece", "obscene development", "taking jujube pills" and other inexplicable words. He was unwilling to go to sea.

He wanted to be a farmer and said he wanted to stay on land all his life.

"Maybe it's the psychological shadow left by the shipwreck half a year ago."

Dalton didn't think too much about it.

"As long as it rains and winds a little, there should be no problem. But if we encounter some blind beast, I'll have to ask for your help."

With that said, Li Ming handed over the half-pack of cigarettes and flattered him for free with a smile.

Dalton smoked the remaining cigarette butt in one gulp, and the aroma of tobacco swirled in his lungs twice before slowly spitting it out from his mouth.

Throwing the remaining cigarette holder on the ground, Mars stamped it out with his feet, and took the half box of cigarettes from Li Ming's hand unceremoniously. Dalton patted Li Ming on the shoulder:

"You're a promising kid now. Just have your own ideas. You can choose the wasteland on your own. It's not a big deal anyway, but you have to do it yourself."

"If that doesn't work, just recruit those little bastards from Will as helpers. This will save them from running around with nothing to do and yelling about going to sea all day long."

Li Ming didn't hesitate and agreed casually. He was indeed short of people anyway, and it was too tiring to open up wasteland by himself.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Dalton waved his hand, signaling Li Ming to get out of here.

Li Ming was no longer polite, drank all the ale on the table in one gulp, thought about what he needed to do when he came to town, and left quickly.

Dalton used to be a navy man, and I heard he was still a minor officer. However, he retired from the navy due to some disciplinary reasons, then returned to the town, and is currently serving as the town's sheriff and captain of the defense team.

Although the impression given to Li Ming was average, a bit out of place, and he seemed to have drunk some wine, his slovenly appearance could not really give Li Ming a sense of security.

But he is quite prestigious in the town.

He also takes good care of himself and can be regarded as a supporter for him when he comes to the new world.

Nowadays, the village chief is older and has almost one foot in the coffin. Dalton is still relatively able to speak up on all matters in the town.

After saying goodbye to Dalton, Li Ming felt relieved.

The wasteland around my cabin is basically reclaimed at will, and there is no defined area anyway. After the reclamation is completed, you can just pay some money to the town.

The least valuable thing here is the land.

[Ding, it has been detected that the area of ​​the host territory has increased, the increase is unknown, and a side mission has been released. 】

[Side Mission 1: Conquer.]

[As a king, how can he be willing to settle for a mistress? Go conquer it and put the world under your feet!]

[Expand the territory, score according to the increase in territory area, and obtain corresponding task rewards after the task is completed.]

As always, he blocked out the second son's speech and looked at the luxurious gilded page in the void in front of him, feeling the breath of harvest coming towards him.

"The so-called increase in territorial area should be to buy land and put the wasteland under your own name. If so, you can take the opportunity to recruit a few helpers, cultivate more land, and directly create a farm."

"The worst case scenario is to clear the land first, then divide it into sections and plant it scientifically."

Li Ming, who had tasted the benefits of the [Good Weather] skill, was also a little inflated and couldn't help but look forward to the reward of this mission.

"Hey! A merchant ship is coming!"

An unknown shout came from the harbor in the distance. The villagers who heard the sound stopped what they were doing and looked towards the seaside in the distance.

Li Ming was also attracted by the sound and looked towards the calm sea in the distance.

A Sangui sailboat appeared on the sea level in the distance with its sails facing the wind, drifting staggering towards the town.

One side of the sailboat's hull is slightly offset, and the sail is also somewhat damaged, but it is generally still intact.

"Is it the merchant ship that crashed last night?"

"Looking at the ship, it should be a merchant ship from the Kingdom of Saint Ni."

"There should be a lot of cloth on the ship!"

"Really!"

"Maybe there will even be dancers!"

"Dancing girl! Is she the one you were talking about before?"

"Yes, that's the one..."

There was an inexplicable expression on this man's face.

"You're thinking of eating shit!"

Several young and strong young men around had excited smiles on their faces, and a few familiar faces started laughing and talking.

"Ah, you are so lucky this time."

In this world, weird weather changes often occur, but the core of the changes is usually at sea, but if the area is relatively large, it often affects the land.

It rained so heavily here last night, so there must have been a huge storm at sea, there is no doubt about it.

The merchant ship in the distance probably escaped from the storm.

"I don't know what good things will come this time."

"It would be perfect if there were livestock on board."

Li Ming also has some expectations.

Creatures that can be domesticated by ordinary people in this world are also scarce. It would be best if you can miss them.

It has been half a year, and Li Ming has saved some money. I wonder if he can buy a small one. He will keep it first and we will talk about breeding it later.

Several young people smiled and said hello to Li Ming, and hurried to the port shore. They excitedly waved to the merchant ships in the distance, grabbed a good position first, and were always ready to pick up the leaks.

A damaged ship that narrowly escaped the storm will definitely not be able to continue its voyage, so the cargo retained on the ship can only be disposed of nearby at a low price.

In addition, moving goods from the ship requires a lot of labor in order to shorten the time. Young men who have no money to pick up leaks can also take the opportunity to enrich their own coffers.

Although it was a disaster for the ship merchants, it was a real benefit to the town.

After coming to this world for half a year, Li Ming has encountered this situation two or three times. The seeds Li Ming kept in the cabin and the cigarettes he just bribed Dalton with were all left over from the last time he picked them up.

However, this time, Li Ming looked at the merchant ships in the distance and felt something was wrong.
