In the tranquil farmland night, the corn seedlings rustled softly under the starlit sky. At the doorway of the farmhouse, a man lounged on a sofa, focused on a 19-inch screen, with two toads nestled next to him.

[Da Vinci thinks this sofa is a bit hard, not soft enough~ uncomfortable~]

[Foodie agrees, there's no scent of perfume, really misses Alice~ Da Vinci suddenly got up, looking at Foodie, since Alice's heart rhythm is irregular, we can only change Ming's target... Foodie rolls over and stands up, yes, Clos is so capable and strong, his heart must be good~]

[Da Vinci shakes his head, he thinks it's not necessary, it's better to test it just to be safe, Foodie agrees, this kind of serious matter needs to be meticulous~]

"~"

Ming pinches the two toad kids, you think I don't know your little thoughts? You just want to find a comfortable place to sleep.

He continued to face the screen, carrying out the remaining operations:

[Successful farm binding, please go to the screen panel > Exclusive Area to learn more.]

[Please rate this service:]

[1, Satisfied; 2, Very satisfied; 3, Extremely satisfied.]

[Please select]

[…]

Such a rigid zero-difference?

To prevent the rules from playing tricks, he decisively chose 3, extremely satisfied.

[Thank you for choosing extremely satisfied, deducting the 3000 gold coins service fee.]

[…]

"…"

Taken aback, Ming blinked at the screen. He hadn't anticipated this trick.

[Congratulations, you have received a farm gift pack.]

[Goodbye...]

"…"I can actually get a gift pack.

Then, he opened the gift pack:

[Exclusive Pest Control Potion X10]

[Exclusive Weed Control Potion X10]

These items were available in the store and very cheap. If there were insecticides... did that mean the farm would face these disasters?

As expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Then, he clicked on the exclusive area: Farm, to check the details:

[Good man Group Agricultural Co., Ltd. First Farm]

[Farmhouse Level: LV0]

[Farmhouse Defense: 0]

[Workstation: 0]

[Cultivated Land: 100 acres]

[Non-cultivated Land: 400 acres]

[Farm Protection Countdown: 239:32:21]

[Summary: Increase workstations, use gold coins to upgrade the farmhouse, and obtain work badges; Farmhouse defense value reset to zero can change ownership, and it requires gold coins for repair after changing ownership; When the protection period ends, the farm will appear on the public area list, can be looted by other survivors, to loot the exclusive area requires spending gold coins and resources, the specific amount depends on the level of the farmhouse, the higher the farmhouse level, the greater the cost of attacking...]I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

"..."

According to the farm's settings, only those with a work badge could freely enter and exit the farm—a sanctuary, indeed.

Without a work badge, there is only one way to enter this area, and that is after the protection period ends, to enter by means of looting, and at a considerable expense of money and resources.

He's not afraid of people coming to loot, after all, they are sources of free labor, but without upgrading the farmhouse, there won't be any workstations, and it's certainly unrealistic for him to do the work for 100 acres of land by himself. As a boss, he must lead by example but also act according to his ability.

An idea sprang into his mind.

Ming plans to upgrade two workstations first and let Kelly enter here to use her specialty. If she comes, Hawkins can't come... This is just the best of both worlds. After all, they are brothers, and if he's happy, he'll be very happy too.

Furthermore, this place has mountains and water, and the environment is also very beautiful. It's quite suitable for young couples to travel, vacation, and work. Returning to the farm after a day's work at the 109 Law Enforcement Hall, enjoying a meal prepared by his love with the freshest produce—how cozy it would be!

Ming is already crying with envy, these aren't tears of sadness, but tears of being moved by another good deed he has done. Of course, if the time is ripe, he will consider living here permanently, especially during the harvest season.

"Start the upgrade."

[Spent 1000 gold coins, farmhouse upgraded to LV1, farmhouse defense value +10,000, received 1 work badge.]

[Spent 2000 gold coins, farmhouse upgraded to LV2, farmhouse defense value +10,000, received 1 work badge.]

[…]

Upgrade complete.

Ming put away the two exclusive work badges, took the frogs back to 1521, and checked the chat channel while eating. Since they started charging, basically no one chats anymore, occasionally some people go crazy in the chat channel when they're really bored.

"Good ~"

With fewer people chatting, there's also less information. The importance of Clos +1, she doesn't need to worry about being unemployed, and her position is even more secure.

After a simple rest, Ming went to the earthworm farm, killed some mature ones, took the stinky mud cards, and also took the earthworm seed segments. Returning to the farm, he scattered the stinky mud in the planting area, dug holes, planted the earthworm segments, and tilled the soil.

"Huff~"

ƥandasnovel.com Ming stood with his hands on his hips next to the stinky mud earthworm field, very satisfied with his labor, and laughingly said to the stinky mud, "None of you slack off, give me some heavy work this time~"

In order to ensure the earthworms adapted to the new environment, he'd brought along familiar stinky mud. They have already mutated creatures and should have learned to adapt themselves.

After washing off the residual mud from his hands in the small river crossing the farm, Ming paused to examine the surrounding vegetation.

"Right~"

A thought occurred to him—could the rabbits back home be unable to breed because of their confined environment?

When he has time, he should bring them here for free range, hoping to trigger their natural instincts.

"I wonder how's the environment in this river?"

Ming put on swimming goggles and earplugs and dove in, activating his breath-holding skill. He didn't spot any mutated creatures, only common fish and shrimp. The rich silt at the river's bottom intrigued him.

After getting back on the shore, Ming took out the "Five-star Loach" and threw it into the river. It probably wouldn't work in a frog pond, but this river should be able to do it. Although this is just a small river... it would be fine to just rename this river, right?

Ming pointed to the river and said, "From now on, you will be called big sea"

After doing these, Ming went back to 109 again. Although it had just entered the evening here, the lights in the living area had gradually lit up. It was said that there was already a night market here.

Looking at the crowd coming and going, Ming was thinking about a problem, that is the disaster of the end-day BOSS.

He knew very little about this information and needed to inquire more to understand it. At this moment, a strong smell of earth came over.

"Where have you been these days, I haven't seen you?"

David sauntered over, scanning Ming before sniffing the air. "Did you go down the sewer again?"

Ming lifted his arm and sniffed, well~ The residual smell of stinky mud lasts quite a while.
