The Peerless Ring

Aunt Wang was undoubtedly the person in the village who had the best impression of Jaxon. Naturally, she wouldn't treat Jaxon poorly when buying the meat of the Golden Rat King from him. She gave Jaxon thirty gold coins. These pieces of meat were not as valuable as the claws and teeth, but Jaxon was already very satisfied with the price of thirty gold coins.

In this way, a single trip to the mine not only allowed Jaxon to learn the blacksmithing skill but also earned him a total of one hundred and ten gold coins. It was truly a bountiful harvest.

"Is the boss here? Boss?!" With money in his pocket, Jaxon felt more confident and decided to visit the village's general store again, which was known as the "black shop."

If he could help it, Jaxon really didn't want to deal with Boss Liu, the unscrupulous merchant. However, since the entire village only had seeds for sale at his store, Jaxon had no choice but to go to him, even though he was reluctant.

"Here, here I am." Boss Liu quickly appeared in Jaxon's line of sight. When he saw that the visitor was Jaxon, his smile became even more radiant. "Ah, it's you. Do you have something to sell? Don't worry, as long as the goods are good, I will definitely not shortchange you on the price."

Jaxon really wanted to spit water in his face. After cheating him out of so many gold coins, he still had the nerve to say such a thing. His face was truly as thick as a wall.

However, since he still needed to buy things here, Jaxon didn't want to make a scene. He forced a smile and said, "I'm not here to sell anything. I'm here to buy something!"

"Buy something? No problem!" Boss Liu's enthusiasm remained undiminished. Whether someone came to sell or buy, they were his customer, and he had no reason to turn them away.

"Feel free to ask for whatever you want. I have everything here," Boss Liu said with great confidence.

Boss Liu wasn't entirely bluffing when he said this. His store indeed had a wide variety of items, many of which made Jaxon's mouth water.

"I'm not interested in anything else, just some seeds," Jaxon said directly without browsing around. There were so many tempting items here, and he wanted them all. But he didn't have much money, and considering the owner's greed, it would be frustrating to see something he couldn't afford.

"Seeds?" Boss Liu was slightly taken aback. "No problem. We have every kind of seed you need."

"I need corn seeds, mushrooms, chives, rice, apples..." Jaxon listed his requirements one by one. "Also, I need chicks, ducklings, and fish fry..."

Before coming, Jaxon had already figured out what he wanted to buy.

Initially, Jaxon only planned to purchase seeds for vegetables and fruits that could be used for barbecues. His original intention was simply to save on the cost of his barbecue business. However, he changed his mind now, mainly because the vacant land at the back of the mountain was too large. How much vegetables could his barbecue stall possibly need? Even if his business was booming every day, he wouldn't use that much. Therefore, there was no need to plant the entire vacant land with vegetables required for his barbecue.

So, Jaxon decided to plant some rice, wheat, oranges, and other crops.

Additionally, he planned to raise some animals. This way, they could not only be used for barbecues but also for his own consumption. After all, the food in this world was truly green and pollution-free, and the taste was much better than that in the real world. Jaxon had been longing for it ever since he tasted it. Therefore, he decided to buy all these things and even more.

In fact, in this world, there were also some vegetables, fruits, and even edible animals that did not exist in the real world. However, Jaxon did not buy them. If those items were taken to the real world and caught the attention of someone with ulterior motives, he would not be able to explain their origin. That would bring trouble upon himself. He was still weak at the moment, and if the trouble was too big, he would not be able to handle it.

Therefore, Jaxon only bought items that already existed in the real world, which reduced the possibility of being suspected.

Upon hearing Jaxon's order, Boss Liu knew it was a big deal. He quickly wrote down all of Jaxon's requirements, and his smile became even brighter.

"I'll buy this much for now. I'll come back for more later," Jaxon said. He only had one hundred and ten gold coins in his pocket. Although he could buy a lot of seeds with this amount, it was still not enough for the vast area of the back mountain. Clearly, he would need to make a second or even a third purchase.

"Sure, sure, no problem!" Boss Liu was even happier when he heard that Jaxon would make more purchases. He even generously threw in some animal offspring for Jaxon. These animals did not exist in the real world. Jaxon had not bought them before due to his concerns, but since Boss Liu offered them, he had no reason to refuse. He could just consume them himself if needed.

Boss Liu worked quickly and soon had all the items Jaxon needed ready. He also delivered everything to the vicinity of the back mountain as Jaxon requested.

"How should I plant these?" After Boss Liu left, Jaxon was a bit puzzled about how to handle these items. Did he really have to plant each seed one by one like everyone else? How long would that take?

However, it seemed there was no better way. He had previously thought that as a "player," he would receive some special treatment, but now he had no idea what to do.

With no other choice, Jaxon had to accept the reality and prepare to learn how to plant from the village head. Although it would take a lot of time, it was better than just staring at the items helplessly.

"Farming is actually a skill, and so is raising poultry," the old village head explained leisurely to Jaxon after understanding his intention, while lying back in a rattan chair: "The level of farming varies. Under the same conditions, some people's land can yield a bountiful harvest, while others may have a reduced output. There's a lot to learn here..."

"Congratulations, you have received the instruction of Master Farmer Zhao Daming and learned farming and animal husbandry skills, both of which have been upgraded to an advanced level!"

Another master-level skill!

Jaxon didn't expect that the old village head would be a master-level farmer. Although he had previously guessed that the villagers were all master-level individuals and the village head might be one of them, he didn't expect that he would be a master-level farmer and would instantly upgrade his farming and animal husbandry skills to an advanced level.

After listening to the old village head's explanation for half a day, Jaxon immediately rushed to the back mountain and stood in front of the vacant land, mentally invoking the farming skill.

Subsequently, Jaxon found that the seeds in front of him automatically planted themselves into the vacant land, neatly arranged in rows with even spacing.

"Indeed, being a 'player' does come with some advantages," Jaxon was naturally very satisfied with this outcome. In no time, all the seeds were planted.

According to the old village head, the higher the level of the farming skill, the higher the crop yield, and the faster the growth rate. Moreover, the taste of the produce would be better.

Jaxon began to have great expectations for the crops in his field.
