The rain outside the window was getting heavier, the wind was howling, and the raindrops hit the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a crackling sound.
It has been quite some time since we arrived in this small town.
At present, Jiang Chuan’s main goal is still to expand the farm. After all, this is the foundation of everything.
Whether you want to use the straw dolls as you like to protect yourself and the people around you, or want to buy items in various spaces, such as repairing the remaining three androids, buying livestock cubs in the ranch to raise to provide a stable source of meat, or even buying various expansion options in the construction terminal and turning the cabin in the space into your own harem paradise...
These all require a lot of gold coins.
With Jiang Chuan's current daily gold coin output of 10, although he can achieve them one by one if time is long enough, the faster the progress, the better. Since there is no urgent danger or thing that needs to be dealt with, stable development is naturally the best choice.
The fruit garden currently has about one hundred fruit trees and has occupied two of the ten farmlands in the newly unlocked area. The progress has begun to show results.
As the fruit trees that have already been planted come into production, the speed of garden expansion will also accelerate.
According to Jiang Chuan's prediction, it will only take about two to three weeks for this area to be completely covered by fruit trees and gardens. By then, the daily output of gold coins in the farm space will be four or even five times what it is now!
His subsequent plan is to gradually eradicate the original pea farmland and replace it with a fruit orchard with a higher gold coin yield, but that is another story for later.
He is currently hiding in this small town. Although there is no imminent danger facing him, Jiang Chuan has never forgotten the lesson he learned in Qingjing Apartment.
In this doomsday, danger will not give you any warning before it arrives, and life-threatening accidents may happen anytime and anywhere, so you should develop yourself with all your strength every day so that you will not be overwhelmed when the crisis comes in the future.
……
And so, time passed slowly.
Two weeks passed.
Akiyama Shinsuke was discharged from the clinic and, following Jiang Chuan's instructions, gathered the remaining patrol members in the town.
As Jiang Chuan expected, most of the remaining people in the patrol team were young people, and there were even young people who were eighteen or nineteen years old and were still studying in the town.
Although Jiang Chuan is of the same age as them, the huge difference in abilities and experiences makes Jiang Chuan feel alienated for no reason when he sees this group of young boys.
But it doesn’t matter. Jiang Chuan doesn’t need these people to be his friends. He just needs them to obey his instructions and use his services.
With food as reward, these former patrol team members were happy to go back to their previous jobs. Jiang Chuan had no other requirements for them. He only asked them to take turns guarding the only path connecting the village to the outside world and report to him if they encountered any situation.
Akiyama Shinsuke was also arranged by Jiang Chuan to be the team leader. By now, Jiang Chuan had enough trust in this young man, so without the knowledge of others, he secretly gave him a pistol and asked him to use it for self-protection.
As for Mrs. Sugimoto, Jiang Chuan has visited her occasionally over the past half month.
There had been some "unpleasantness" between her and Jiang Chuan before, and Mrs. Sugimoto had felt burdened by the various helps provided by Jiang Chuan, but with the passage of time, this burden gradually disappeared. However, even though Mrs. Sugimoto had a very good attitude and basically listened to Jiang Chuan, she would not give in even a little in that aspect.
Jiang Chuan even once suggested that he wanted to experience using the lap pillow to coax his child to sleep again, but Mrs. Sugimoto blushed and sternly rejected his request.
This made Jiang Chuan feel a little annoyed.
In the past period of time, he would not spend too much time and energy from having an idea about any woman to putting it into practice until he achieved his goal, of course, with the exception of Ando Haruyuki.
As for Mrs. Sugimoto, Jiang Chuan even began to feel that hope was gradually fading.
This is not good.
However, Jiang Chuan really had no good way to deal with Mrs. Sugimoto's overly solid bottom line, and it was even more impossible for him to just force her. From the precedent of Miyagi Yuichi who had already been killed, it could be seen that Mrs. Sugimoto was definitely a woman who would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones. If things went wrong, she would probably really die to prove her integrity.
So as for Mrs. Sugimoto, Jiang Chuan can only leave it to time. He doesn't hold out much hope that there will be any changes in the end.
The several female employees in the family have been living a very ordinary life during this period. Only Jiang Chuan would occasionally attack them when they were not prepared. Of course, they have all gotten used to it.
It is worth mentioning that after trying out the new game channel with Ando Haruyuki that night, they both included this second path in their daily use.
Of course, the two of them were just doing it for the sake of novelty, and the frequency was much less than normal.
Moreover, every time Jiang Chuan wanted to change the route, he would inform Ando Haruyuki in advance, and then Ando Haruyuki would do a simple cleaning. After all, hygiene still needs to be paid attention to.
Mrs. Hayakawa and Minami Chinatsu, two loyal female employees, became closer and closer to Jiang Chuan during this period, and both showed initiative that was rare before.
Jiang Chuan was very pleased.
--------
"Master, welcome back. During your absence, I harvested a total of 600 crops and 102 fruit trees for you."
[You have harvested 600 crops and 102 fruit trees, and earned a total of EXP*2220! ]
[Your level has risen! Current level: LV.27 (1891/12000EXP)! , get 1 free attribute points! ]
After two weeks of expansion, Jiang Chuan's fruit and vegetable garden finally successfully filled the entire newly unlocked area. The total number of fruit trees reached 500. On average, 100 fruit trees would bear fruit every day.
The fruit trees in front of him were neatly arranged, with apple trees and pear trees evenly distributed, which was pleasing to the eye. Thinking of the value they would bring to Jiang Chuan every day, Jiang Chuan felt even more pleasing to the eye.
By selling the harvested fruits in the store, Jiang Chuan earned a full 46 gold coins!
The planned expansion of the fruit orchard has also been completed. In other words, Jiang Chuan can finally use the 46 gold coins he received today to invest in other places, or even simply to improve his life.
This made Jiang Chuan very excited.
After all, from every harvest in the past half month, almost all of the income was invested in purchasing saplings and growth promoters, and he never actually spent it.
No, it would be better to say that his daily gold coin income has always been like this since he awakened the farm space. Buying seeds, upgrading warehouses, everything is for the development of the farm space.
Although there is nothing wrong with doing this, it must be said that for a long time, Jiang Chuan has been looking forward to a day in the future when he can stop thinking about how to develop the farm space as quickly as possible and simply spend gold coins to buy whatever he wants.
And today, this wish has finally been initially realized.
Although there is still room to further increase the output of the farm space, and the previous twenty pieces of peas and grapes can all be replaced with fruit trees, in which case the gold coin output can probably be increased by two to three times, but for now, such a large amount of gold coin output seems to be no different in essence to Jiang Chuan.
After all, the farm's daily output of gold coins has reached more than 400,000...
What does more than 400,000 mean?
With the remaining money he had on hand, if Jiang Chuan wanted, he could repair all three remaining bionic men in the backpack at once today.
Or if Jiang Chuan wants, he can also purchase all the cabin expansion options currently unlocked in the construction terminal.
Moreover, this much money is not gone once it is spent, but 40 gold coins are deposited into the account every day!
Spend it. Finally, you can spend it as you like. Today, Jiang Chuan wants to experience the feeling of treating money as if it weren't money, treating gold coins as if they weren't gold coins, and spending it without making a sound.
Holding more than 400,000 gold coins, Jiang Chuan first walked towards the ranch.
The most important function of the farm space for Jiang Chuan is to provide food. However, over the past period of time, Jiang Chuan has managed to fill everyone's stomachs with the various crops he planted in the mixed farm. However, humans are omnivores after all, and Jiang Chuan really can't stand life without meat.
And now is the time to convert the gold coin output of the farm space into physical output.
Although Jiang Chuan had spent three days raising some young livestock in the abandoned ranch after unlocking it, there was a Bobo cow, a sheep, and eighteen cuckoo chickens.
During this period, they have grown up one after another and started to produce by-products such as eggs and fresh milk for Jiang Chuan's warehouse in a stable manner.
However, by-products are just by-products after all. Although milk and eggs are nutritious and healthy, they are not real meat after all.
Therefore, what Jiang Chuan needs to do most at the moment is to upgrade the breeding ranch and continue to release more livestock cubs into it.
[Farming Ranch (lv.2): Current number of livestock that can be accommodated: 20, current daily feed consumption: 6.8 catties/day, can be upgraded using gold coins, the next level requires: 40000 gold coins]
[Current number of breeding cubs: Cuckoo Chicken (9, remaining breeding time: 7 days)]
When he came to the breeding ranch again and saw the ranch information appearing on the panel, Jiang Chuan remembered that the ranch also had an automatic breeding mechanism.
As long as there are more than two of a certain kind of livestock on the ranch, breeding will begin automatically, and a free cub of the same kind will be produced after fifteen days. This mechanism is extremely comfortable and convenient, and there is no need to distinguish between genders. It is truly magical.
With this feature, it seems that the ranch can produce meat periodically, only requiring a certain amount of livestock feed to be consumed every day.
But the prerequisite is that the livestock already in the ranch must be of a certain scale so that the offspring produced by their breeding are sufficient to cope with consumption.
Jiang Chuan thought about it roughly and then decided on the purchase plan.
He first spent 4 gold coins and 8 gold coins to upgrade the ranch twice in a row, bringing it to level 4. The number of livestock it could accommodate also doubled from 20 to 80.
The ranch building in the space also flashed two white lights in succession, and it became two floors, and its internal space became wider.
随后,姜川用手上剩下的不到40w的金币,再度购买了1只波波牛崽(10w)、2只哼哼猪崽(8w)、1只绵绵羊崽(2w),以及56只咕咕鸡崽(11.2w)。
The ranch capacity of 80 has been filled up again. Now Jiang Chuan's ranch has two Bobo cows, two Hem Heng pigs, and two Mian Mian sheep. After the cubs purchased today grow up, they can all start breeding. The remaining 74 ranches are all for Cuckoo Chickens.
The main reason why Jiang Chuan uses a large number of cuckoo chickens to fill the cage is because cuckoo chickens are very cheap, and every grown cuckoo chicken can not only be bred to produce new cuckoo chickens, but also lay a hot egg for Jiang Chuan every day, and each egg can be preserved for two and a half years... ahem.
Of course, no matter whether it is chicken, cattle, pig or sheep, as long as the meat produced is enough for Jiang Chuan and the people around him to consume, it is enough. Any more would be a waste, so Jiang Chuan spent more than 400,000 gold coins on the breeding ranch right from the start. It seems generous, but in fact he is only prepared to invest this much.
Because of the existence of the breeding mechanism, Jiang Chuan can use this mechanism to slowly increase the total number of cattle, sheep, and pigs. In the early stage, it is completely fine to just kill some cuckoo chickens for transition. Therefore, whether it is the expansion of the ranch or the purchase of cubs, Jiang Chuan is not planning to invest money again in the short term.
After he finished doing all this, he opened the introduction of the breeding ranch again and found that the daily consumption of livestock feed on the ranch had reached 21.4 kg/day.
At the price of 500 gold coins per kilogram, the ranch now costs Jiang Chuan more than gold coins every day, which is indeed a considerable expense. But fortunately, for the output of more than gold coins per day, it is not a big problem.
But now that we have invested so much, we need to take better care of the ranch next.
Thinking this way, Jiang Chuan decided to talk to Nan Qianxia about this matter.
(Apologies to everyone, I haven't been in good shape recently, so it's a bit watery. I'll speed up this chapter and move on to the next volume right away)
Chapter 162 Kenta-kun is sick
"I know. Don't worry. I go to the ranch every day. You just don't know it."
Jiang Chuan was standing in Nan Qianxia's room. The latter seemed to have just woken up. She knelt on the ground, rubbing her eyes and spoke slowly.
Jiang Chuan also understood Nan Qianxia's character. She was ruthless and didn't talk much. Since she had promised, she would definitely do it well, so Jiang Chuan was relieved.
Therefore, in order to reward Nan Qianxia for her efforts, Jiang Chuan was willing to sacrifice himself to help Nan Qianxia with a good morning comfort.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chuan left Nan Qianxia's room feeling refreshed, but the latter probably needed to take another nap.
……
“Summer is almost over.”
In the afternoon, Ando Haruyuki and Jiang Chuan sat side by side outside the French window next to the yard, and she suddenly spoke for no reason.
Jiang Chuan looked up at the sky and found that the weather was indeed much cooler than when he first came here, or in other words, the weather had not been very hot since the heavy rain half a month ago.
"Yes, in a few days it will be September, and autumn will soon be here."
"I heard that this year's summer festival will be held as usual."
As they were chatting, they suddenly heard the voice of Ando's mother from behind. She walked behind them with a tray and smiled, then knelt on the ground and placed a small bowl of cut watermelon on the floor.
Seeing the watermelon, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, then turned to look at Ando Haruyuki.
Because he has been providing food to the poor households in the town on behalf of the old mayor recently. The mixed farm grows solid staple grains such as potatoes, corn and wheat. Although he has some watermelons stored in his farm warehouse, he doesn't remember taking them out and putting them in the kitchen in the past few days?
Although Ando Haruyuki and the other two can enter the farm space freely, only Jiang Chuan has the authority to open the farm warehouse.
Seeing Jiang Chuan's expression, Ando Haruyuki naturally understood the doubts in his mind. He raised his hand and waved it, and his meaning was very clear: It's not me, and I don't know either.
"Aunt, this watermelon..."
Jiang Chuan always asks when he doesn't understand something.
Ando's mother smiled and said, "This is a gift from Dr. Kudo to all of us."
"Doctor Kudo?"
Jiang Chuan picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite. It was instantly sweet, crispy, and just the right amount of icy cool.
He remembered the name Dr. Kudo, who had the same last name as Kudo Shinichi, but was not a detective. He was the only doctor in the small clinic in the town.
However, when Jiang Chuan visited the clinic before, he only saw Akiyama Shinsuke who was hospitalized at the time, and the nurse Koyanagi who was hypocritical and had a contradictory inner self. He had only heard of Dr. Kudo but had never seen him in person.
"Yes, the doctor has a melon field at home. He usually sends watermelons to everyone every summer, but this year may be the last time."
Ando's mother sighed softly and said.
Jiang Chuan was a little surprised to hear this.
Ando Haruyuki on the side said: "Dr. Kudo is indeed a very good person. When I went to the clinic for treatment when I was a child, he often gave me snacks. But he doesn't seem to like going out very much, and...his personality is a bit weird."
Have a weird personality?
"Dr. Kudo is in poor health. In fact, he is more trusted by everyone than Mayor Miyajima. If it weren't for his health, we all think he should be the mayor."
Ando's mother added.
Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows.
Whoever was the mayor at the beginning would eventually be sidelined by Yuichi Miyagi. This is actually not important. The key point is "being trusted by everyone."
I have nothing to do today, so maybe I can go to the clinic to visit Dr. Kudo, and of course, Nurse Koyanagi.
……
After entering the clinic, Jiang Chuan met an unexpected person.
"Mrs. Sugimoto? Why are you here?"
