Chapter 43: Farmer
Little Sam’s Shouka store changed hands. This news surprised the neighbors, and many people were worried about the purchasing business and door-to-door service.
The clerks headed by Sally were even more worried, not knowing what kind of person the new boss was.
It is not easy to find a stable and well-paying job in this era.
But none of this has anything to do with Duke.
There are more than 90 gold dragon deposits in his Spirit Dragon Card. There are also many second-hand cards that have not been sold in the small box, as well as a 2-ring constant temperature card.
The price is not low.
Soon I found a house nearby to rent, moved all my daily necessities there, and moved a set of old machines that had been eliminated, saying goodbye to Little Sam's Card Repair Shop once and for all.
"Boss, I will miss you." Sally gave Duke a hug before leaving.
Levin, who was helping with the transportation, also wanted to hug him, but he didn't dare. He was still in awe of Duke. Although Duke was only fifteen years old, he didn't usually behave like a fifteen-year-old boy.
Duke didn't like hugs either, and he was sweating all over in the summer.
He just patted Levin on the shoulder.
On the way back to the rental house, he saw Best standing in the shade at the intersection. Duke didn't want to pay attention, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Best.
"Did you sell Little Sam's card repair shop?"
"Yeah."
I thought Best would laugh at me, but I didn't expect Best sighed: "I guess it was bought and sold by force. There are also people today. Come and ask me... You are just a child. You sold the store after being scared, but I will not agree."
Best's guess is not outrageous. This transfer is indeed suspected of forced buying and selling. .
Duke didn't refute, just asked: "With the Pioneering War, Snake Head Town will definitely be in chaos. Are you sure you can withstand it?" "
Of course you can." Best snorted.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Duke turned to leave.
"Hey, don't leave in a hurry, little Duke." Best followed up, "You've lost your shop, so you must find a job, so why not come to my shop." "Huh?" "I'll give
you
a job as a formal card repairman. The treatment is the same as the rules of Little Sam's shop, I'll give you a commission! How about it, there is a bit of unpleasantness between us, but it's all for life, right? I'm not the kind of person who adds insult to injury." Best raised his eyebrows .
He was very confident in his rhetoric and had a sense of superiority that he wanted to help the frustrated Duke.
Being misunderstood as being depressed, Duke himself felt a little want to laugh.
He looked at Best, who held his head high, and shook his head slowly: "No, I want to change a job." "Change a job
, you are stupid, you have been an apprentice for me for a year, haven't you learned from me?" Do you have any skills?" Best said loudly, "Forget it, if you kid can't fix the card, just be a counter for me. I just opened Bob. With my skills and your smart mind, you can definitely do a great job. Ichiban!"
Duke has never repaired cards during the day, so many people thought that he had just joined the spiritual apprenticeship and was unable to master the art of card repairing.
But Best doesn't really care whether Duke fixes the card.
He just thinks that Duke is very smart. Several initiatives he launched at Little Sam Shoka's store almost destroyed his own store. He is a talented person in business.
"Actually, I have no interest in doing business." Duke waved his hand.
Seeing this, Best's pleasant tone softened: "No, you don't know how to fix the card, and you don't want to do business. Do you want to farm?" Farming
?
Duke's eyes lit up.
Then he smiled gently and said: "Why not? My biggest dream when I was a child was to be a farmer, feed my own cattle, horses, vegetables and wheat." "
You are not a spiritual plant envoy, so what kind of farmer do you want to be?" "
I No, but I can hire someone." Duke already made a decision in his mind, waved his hand, and left quickly, "Mr. Best, goodbye."
Watching Duke walk away, Best cursed angrily: "I don't know. At any rate! It seems that he is not a smart person now!"
...
The corner window on the first floor of the Snake Head Tower.
Duke pointed to the small farm on the map that had not yet been purchased on the south bank of the creek, and said calmly: "I will rent this farm for ten years!"
This small farm only has one hundred acres of land.
According to the original rental price, the ten-year rent for one acre of land was 10 silver dragons, and the ten-year rent for one hundred acres of land was 10 gold dragons. This amount of money is nothing to Duke now.
Preparations for the pioneering war are now underway, and adventurers from all over the country are flocking here.
The spirit beasts have long been frightened and ran away. Xiaohewan Farm will no longer be threatened by spirit beasts.
But at this time, the staff said: "The rent is 20 gold dragons."
"What, wasn't it only 10 gold dragons a while ago?"
"You also said it was a while ago, can it be the same now as before? There has been a war, how many people have gone there? Sheshou Town is crowded, can the rent be the same? Hurry, do you still want to rent?"
"Rent..."
Duke was free and easy, even if the price doubled, he still didn't waver.
After two days of this, Duke, under the leadership of several town staff, completed all the procedures and officially rented the 100-acre farm.
The staff reinstalled the farm's boundary pole and said to Duke: "Give the farm a name. We are going to register it." "Let's
call it...Little Duke Farm." Duke continued the tradition.
Basically all the shops and farms in Sheshou Town will be named after their owners, such as the Little Sam Shoka Shop.
After the staff left, Duke wandered around the Little Duke Farm.
Because it is a farm that was reclaimed from wasteland, there are no crops now, and various weeds and mugworts growing up to waist height are growing in the ground.
There is no doubt that there is no spiritual plant hidden in it.
The entire 100 acres of land is basically flat, with only a small slope on the west side. The slope is not too steep. From the top to the bottom of the slope, it is about the height of a person.
"Let's build a house on this slope." Duke walked around the farm and fixed his gaze on the small slope.
Although it's not in the center of the farm, it's at least high enough to allow you to look over the entire farm and see what's going on at a glance.
In the next few days, Duke traveled between farms and market towns.
Find a construction team to build a house on the farm.
At the same time, they also found someone to pull up a barbed wire fence at the border of the farm, and also specially purchased a 1-ring arcane card - spiritual pressure transmission.
This arcane card can conduct spiritual pressure in metal. Anyone who comes into contact with the metal will be attacked by spiritual pressure.
in short.
This is the otherworldly version of high-voltage electricity.
After being connected to the surrounding barbed wire and coupled with a spiritual storage card to continuously supply energy, the spiritual pressure transmission can be continuously turned on to build a "high-voltage power grid fence".
The Seven Towers Federation has no laws prohibiting the establishment of private power grids. The construction of a 1-ring arcane card-reiatsu transmission metal grid is reasonable, compliant, and in line with tradition. It is natural for people to protect their property. Even if they kill people, nothing will happen.
When the spiritual pressure transmission metal mesh was laid out, the head of the house construction team also came over: "Boss Little Duke, your interior design is a bit complicated..." "Can't it be done?" "No, you have to pay
more
