Spring 8th in the world of Ore Town, today is Anne's eighth day in this world, and it is also a Sunday, and the weather today is clear and cloudless, which is a good weather for hard work or outing.

At least, that's what the residents of Ore Town, with their relaxed pace of life, think......

It's just that Anne didn't choose to work in such good weather, nor did she choose to go on an outing in the back mountains or other places, nor did she go to Uncle Terra's shop to squander money and eat and drink, but got up early and waited bored while watching the boring TV show at home, watching those boring weather forecasts, news, ranch life guides, and boring programs about the brave man saving the princess.

Finally, when it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, she hurried with her dog-legged Tibbs and rushed at full speed towards the south side of her own pasture, and finally pushed open the wooden door of some bearded uncle's house, who seemed to be at home and had nowhere to go.

Gala~!

"Huh?"

=???? ('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)

"It's strange, it's you bad Shu, why are you here, don't you have to go to the hot springs to sneak around and watch others take a bath today?"

∑(′△｀)？！

As soon as she pushed the door in, Anne was surprised to find that the sneaky and sneaky villain she had bumped into yesterday, the police officer who claimed to be a good person, was also here, which made her ask out loud a little strangely.

"Ahh

"It turned out to be you nasty little ......"

"Didn't I explain this to you yesterday, Anne? I, Harris, am a police officer in Ore Town, and I go to the hot springs to patrol and everyone's safety, not to steal or peep! ”

"Anyway, don't go out and talk nonsense!!"

As soon as they met, Harris couldn't help but blush when he heard the little guy say this about himself, and then his expression quickly became nervous.

However, when he saw Gotz in the house, and saw that the bearded guy was busy over there, he didn't pay any attention to the conversation between him and the little girl, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Forget it!"

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to continue patrolling...... I guess you must have something going on here, right? Here! Your Uncle Gotz is over there, you can go find him now! ”

Shaking his head, Officer Harris, who didn't think it would be a good idea to stay here with such a little girl, said as he hurriedly got up from his stool and motioned for the little girl to go to Gotz, who was drawing some drawings.

According to his usual habits, he usually rests here for about half an hour before continuing to patrol the back mountains? However, now that the little guy is here, he must change his plans at the moment.

"That's right!"

"Annie? When you're done with your business, go back early, and don't stay too late in the mountains or woods? Because when it's dark, there are wild dogs or other wild beasts, and you can't handle them at a time. ”

"That's it, right? See you later! ”

After saying that, Officer Harris didn't go to say hello to that Gotz, but directly told a certain dead eye and a little girl who liked to misunderstand him? Then he hurriedly turned around and pushed the door out? And step by step into the depths of the forest.

"That's ......"

┗(▔? ▔)┛

"Goodbye, then! Remember not to go to the hot springs to do that kind of bad thing again~! ”

?? (??? *)

Seeing the other person running away and walking out the door? Anne hurriedly waved at the other party, and only after seeing that the other party almost fell and disappeared quickly, she turned around contentedly? Walk towards some bearded uncle who is busy with something.

"Hi~!"

ヽ(⌒ω⌒)?

"Bearded Uncle Gotz, how are you doing?"

?? (′?｀?)???

After waiting for a full day and a night, Anne finally succeeded in catching the other party here, so she came to the other party and greeted the other party with some pleasure on the counter.

After all? Now is she something? And it's the kind of very important thing to ask the other party, so you always have to be a little polite to talk to the other party.

"Oh!"

"It's Annie, you little one...... Another person running into the mountains? Are you going to dig for mountain goods today? Then you have to be careful, although it has been a long time since you have seen a wild bear or a wild wolf, it is better to be cautious? ”

"But as long as you don't go too far from the road, don't be so afraid."

Thinking that the other party was just coming to the mountains to dig up mountain goods, and then come to his place to rest and drink saliva like Harris, Gotts didn't mind too much, but after admonishing and comforting, he was ready to continue to busy himself with the work at hand.

His spring bamboo shoots have been dug enough, and the next whole year should be enough for him to eat, so he doesn't mind that the other party will go to the mountains to scrape the ground and scrape those mountain goods to sell for money, and he doesn't want to care too much.

"Uncle Gotz!"

(?? ˇ?ˇ??)

"People didn't come to the mountains to dig mountain goods today, people came to you because they had something very important and important!!"

s(?｀ヘ′?; )ゞ

Seeing that the other party still wanted to write and draw, Anne stretched out her hand, snatched the other party's drawing and threw it aside, signaling that the other party must listen to her first.

Anyway, in Anne's opinion, as long as things concern her, it is a very important and important matter, even if it is a small thing, it is a big thing, no!

（…… ）

(￢?￢。 )

"Oh? You've got something very important to do today......"

"Alright then!"

"You can tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"

There's no way, the other party has snatched away their drawings, what else can Gotz say? So, he had to reluctantly put down the pencil in his hand, ready to listen and see what the other party could say.

"It's easy! People want you to help them build a big house! ”

? (ˊ▽ˋ*)?

"I want you to go directly to the small house in the ranch and expand it, and build it directly to the largest and most beautiful kind!!"

(?￣?? ￣??)?? °

That's right, it's the one-step kind, because Anne doesn't like to come to each other all day!

So saying, Anne began to explain in detail why she needed to expand the house so urgently, and the problems she was now facing that troubled her, and in one breath she told all her troubles in front of the bearded man.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

o(?ω?) o

After explaining her intentions, Anne couldn't wait to prop up her body at the counter and look at each other, eager to hear the kind of answer that would satisfy her.

"Hmm......"

"I think I get it!"

"You want to ask me to expand the house, and it will be expanded directly to the largest, and the most beautiful...... That means you have to renovate your mailbox and windows? ”

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that, I'm very good at this, that's what I do!"

Without asking Anne to wait, the bearded Gotz, after a moment of stunned and silent silence, nodded and gave Anne a very positive answer.

"But ......"

"Annie, since you're going to expand your house, how many standard squares of lumber do you have in the lumber room on your ranch? Of course, I'm talking about the standard kind of wood the size of a wooden pier, and only those that have been processed can be used. ”

"How much wood do you have?"

The kind of problem that the little girl is talking about is not a big problem for Gotz, who is a ranger, woodcutter, carpenter, and the only house designer in Ore Town! So, after just listening to it once, he knew what he was going to do next.

"Standard square wood? So what? ”

(???.???)????

In the blink of an eye, Anne did not answer, but asked rhetorically with a look of ignorance...... Obviously, she had no idea what the other party was referring to.

"Uh......"

"Okay, I figured it out, but I wasn't prepared at all?"

He didn't even know what the standard wood was, so Gotz could basically confirm how much wood the other party had prepared, and the result was: none of them were prepared!

So, after nodding his head, he began to wonder to himself, and began to wonder how he could transport the timber to the other party's pasture. Perhaps, he could ask Zach to help transport the wood he needed to the ranch and store it in the other party's lumber room?

"Probably right?"

(°ー°〃)

Anne said that she was not in the habit of preparing such a mess, and that she had brought back a lot of timber before, but when Uncle Zach said that it could not be used for shipment, she threw it all into the river, and she didn't know where it had gone.

"Okay!"

"Then I'll start calculating now, how much will it cost if you expand directly to the largest and most beautiful! That is, to remodel the mailbox, the windows and the dog kennel at the same time......"

"It shouldn't be that hard!"

"But step by step, I can expand first to a medium-sized house, and then to a large house when the foundation is firm, and finally to bathrooms, windows, and so on, so that I can work during the day and have a place to live at night, and not move to a chicken pen or a cowpen stable......

"So, the price is ......"

"Okay, Anne, don't worry, I have to calculate first, this is a systematic project, I can't be sloppy, I have to go all out."

Nodding, Gortz began to pull a blank sheet of paper and began to scribble on it in his ghostly handwriting.

“……”

(￢д￢。 )

Anne said she wouldn't live in a chicken pen or a cowpen stable, it stinks!

And, I don't know why, when she saw the blank sheet of paper that the other party was counting more and more, she began to have a faint bad premonition, always feeling that something beyond her plan was going to happen?

"Hmm......"

"Timber money, plus manual costs ......"

Soon, a blank piece of paper had been counted by Gotts, but it still didn't come out, so after thinking about it, he turned it over and began to continue calculating with a pencil on the back of the paper.

"Hey!"

! (;?o?) o

"Brother, Uncle Gotz...... Have you done the math, how much does it cost!? ”

=???? ('ヮ'=????)

At this time, even if she was as dull as Anne, she realized that the situation was wrong, and at the same time, the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she had a faint premonition that things would not seem to be going as smoothly as she thought today.

"It's coming!"

"Little guy, don't worry, I'll do it again, it'll be fine soon, I promise you!"

Although he said that it would be finished quickly, the movements in Gotz's hands did not stop at all, and while muttering something silently, he took out a blank piece of paper from the side and began to write something quickly on it.

“……”

=???? (??? *)

Gotcha!

Now, seeing that the other party hasn't calculated the results for a long time and is counting more and more, Anne knows that it is estimated that after a while, something bad or something unexpected will happen, it must be like that!

（…… ）

(●￣(?) ￣●)

(That's right!) Tibbs knows, later, this terrible little master of his family must start to worry, it is waiting and seeing? ）

“！！”

"That's it!"

"Annie, because you're going to expand directly to the largest house, counting the cost of expanding the medium-sized one, plus the renovation of windows, bathrooms, mailboxes, and dog kennels, as well as the design costs, and since you don't bring any wood of your own, the price is ........"

After picking up the last piece of paper that had come to fruition and looking at it, the bearded Gotts suddenly stopped talking, and first looked up at a little girl who was lying on his counter waiting for his answer, and didn't know whether to say the data that he himself felt was a little outrageous.

"Hey! Uncle Gotz, you mean, how much does it cost?! ”

o(*｀ー′)o

Anne urged and protested loudly, because ah, this kind of bad guy who suddenly stops in the middle of speaking, and makes her have no bottom in her heart, she is very, very annoying!

"Okay!"

"Anne, you're fine, if you rebuild it as you say, the cost will be ......"

"427,500 G!!"

Finally, after some struggle, Gortz, a woodcutter and carpenter and ranger, had to bite the bullet and report an exaggerated figure that even he thought was a bit high, and that the little creature in front of him could not afford it anyway.

“！！”

!？ (?''??)?

"How can it be so spicy, Uncle Gotz, did you miscalculate?!"

=???? (???????) None----???? (???????) ━!!!

Sure enough, Anne jumped down from the counter on the other side, which was a little hard and screamed.

Anne had heard before, some profiteers on the earth, those bad guys who were engaged in real estate, were desperately raising prices, and a set of broken houses cost less than 100,000 yuan, and they dared to sell them to the extent of millions or even millions, even if they collapsed the entire earth's economy...... Look at this world now, the real estate developer in this ore town is really all the way, rebuilding a broken wood house, he dares to ask her for so much money?!

（…….）

(●￣?￣●)

(No doubt that Tibbs had already guessed what his wretched little master would be in the end, so it really wouldn't be surprised at all right now!) ）

"Anne ......"

"I didn't dare to take your money indiscriminately, if you don't believe me, I'll report it to you one by one now?"

"Look...... The expansion of a small house to a medium-sized house costs 50,000 G, and the wood needs 200 standard squares, because you don't have any wood in your ranch, so you need to buy it from me at a price of 50 G per standard wood cost, and it is a total of 60,000 G here! ”

"For a large house, the cost of expansion is 200,000 G, and 700 standard square meters of timber are required, which together is 235,000 G......"

"Look? That's almost 300,000 G......"

"Finally, there are the cost of renovation, such as the bamboo frame sealing pipe that leads the hot spring from the back mountain hot spring, and even the materials are almost 70,000 or 80,000 G, as well as the cost of renovating the mailbox, dog hut and window, so ......"

"Forget it!"

"You'd better see for yourself, you see, I shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Seeing that the other party's face seemed to be a little unpleasant, and his expression gradually became a little stiff, Gotz sighed and handed the final data summary in his hand to the other party's hand, signaling the other party to calculate it directly, if such a small math can be so good that way?

“……”

! (;?o?) o

Anne just glanced at it, and came to the result, and took it for granted that the other party had not miscalculated just now, did not overcharge her, and did not seem to cheat her?

However, that price is too ......

"It's too expensive, Uncle Gotz, can't you be cheaper?"

??? (＿＿*)??

Rarely, Anne began to bargain with the other party.

Although, even after the other party's discount, she may not be able to pay that fee? To be honest, before coming here again, Anne thought that there was a lot of money left in her ranch account, but now that she looks at it, it seems that it is completely insufficient?

And what's even more terrifying is that if she spends all the money and uses it to repair the house, what will she eat and drink in the future? If she can't spend money, eat, drink and have fun lavishly for the sake of a dilapidated house that she can't live in for long, then what's the point of her living?

"This ......"

"Annie, I'm afraid this won't work......"

Although the other party now looks cute, pitiful, and helpless...... However, the bearded Gotts said that the guy he is giving now is already the friendly price in Ore Town, and most of it is the cost of money, and the labor cost is not much charged.

If it were replaced by those big cities outside Ore Town, and if it was replaced by those profiteers' quotations, let alone 420,000 G, even if it was 4 million G, it would not be able to withstand it!!

"But, Annie, how much money do you have now?"

After thinking about it, Gotz, who felt a little pitiful when he saw the other party's expression, finally decided that he seemed to be able to reluctantly accommodate the other party, and he could charge a part of the necessary material fees first, and his labor costs could be given to the other party to slow down?

"That's probably all there is?"

? (*?????)???

Anne hesitated for a moment, but finally held out one of her white index fingers in shame.

"How much is this?"

Gotz was a little afraid to guess, for fear that he would come up with a number that he couldn't even believe.

"Probably only ......"

(*/?＼*)

"Less than 100,000 G?"

(??? 3?)

Although she was a little embarrassed, Anne finally had to tell the figure that she had earned after using all kinds of means, and even scraping the mountains behind Ore Town...... Of course, that's only part of it, because she's squandered a lot of it in the past few days.

“！！”

"No, no, no! It's too far away, absolutely not! Annie, why don't you use the money to go back and run your ranch and come back to me in a year or two? ”

Gotts shook his head and sighed, and secretly said that this little girl was really unreliable, and he had wasted half of his morning in vain, so he should continue to draw his unfinished drawings.

"Damn!"

（????? ）

"That's it!"

? (?`^′?)?

"Uncle Gotz, although the money is not enough now, you can prepare first, wait for two days, and then come over to pay you when they make enough money, and then you can start work directly!"

（?╭╮?）

Gnashing her teeth, Anne, who felt that she wanted a big house anyway, a stove and kitchen utensils, and the best things to eat, secretly made up her mind.

Anyway, no matter what, she only needs a day or two at most, and she will definitely be able to earn enough money for a whole big house and renovation! Of course, there may be money squandered for a long time to come?!

“！！”

"After, in two days? Annie, are you sure you're not kidding? ”

Gotz obviously didn't believe that the other party could make such a large sum of money so quickly, in his opinion, it must be impossible in two days, perhaps, two years is about the same?

Therefore, he just shook his head with a smile and laughter, and did not take the other party's words to heart.

"Of course not kidding!"

? (`⌒′*)?

"Well, Uncle Gotz, let's settle it! People will come back to you in two days, and they will pay the price you just said! ”

o((*^▽^*))o

With that, Anne ran straight out.

Because she's going to make money, and it's the kind of money that has to be earned in two days! However, she hadn't figured out how to make it yet, anyway, it was definitely impossible to collect and scrape the back mountains of Ore Town, because she had only earned a little bit after three whole days of looting, so this time, she had to think of other better and faster ways.

Of course, it must also be legal and reasonable, and it must not be like some bad guy Bear fooled her, to rob money or hack into the banking system or something, she Queen Anne is a super good person who never does bad things, how could she do that kind of thing, how embarrassing it would be to spread the word?

（…… ）

(●￣(?) ￣●)

"Hey!"

"Annie? You wait......"

Carpenter Gotz wanted to say something, but the other party had already run away.

"This ......"

"Alas! How can two days be enough, forget it, let's leave her alone for now......"

Obviously, Gotz didn't believe it, and didn't take to heart what some little girl who had just run away.

Besides, he doesn't have anything to prepare here, wood or anything, his lumber yard has it here, if the other party can afford to pay, he can order other materials that the other party needs while starting work, then he doesn't need to prepare in advance, and it won't delay any construction period.

So, without any preparation, he continued to trace his drawings on the counter that only he could read.

"Hmm......"

"I don't know what Uncle Muqi thinks about, his cowshed is broken in some places, if it is not repaired sooner......"

"If only he had made up his mind to rebuild it, I would have designed the best barn for him!"
