Chapter 289: Conscious Farmer
The final contest lasted about a few minutes before Wallis conceded defeat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Throughout the battle, he was crushed in a shield by endless flames, unable to draw his hand to fight back, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated. Besides, this is just a competition, and there is no need to really fight to the end. Joanna is a mage who specializes in fire, and it is also very reasonable for her to crystallize the fire element.
In fact, Benjamin watched from the sidelines and didn't think that Joanna, who won, was the strongest of the group.
The reward is the fire elemental crystal, and the one who fights the most seriously is definitely the mage of the partial fire system. Some of the mages from other departments are also very good, but they are not as desperate as Joanna, so they didn't make it to the final round.
"Thank you, thank you, that ...... I actually won. ”
After winning, Joanna took the crystallization from Benjamin's hands, and her face was already full of exhaustion, and she couldn't even speak, which made everyone laugh again.
"Let's get some rest. After resting, use crystals to hone your elemental affinity, and you will become stronger in the future. Benjamin smiled and encouraged her.
"Thank you, teacher!" Joanna nodded, holding the crystal in her hand, and returned to the crowd.
Under Benjamin's command, the competition ended successfully, and everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest and prepare for dinner.
George, who is in charge of planting in the backyard, is also relieved.
"Mr. Benjamin. However, as the crowd slowly dispersed, he walked up behind Benjamin and suddenly stopped Benjamin.
"What's wrong?" Benjamin turned.
George hesitated for a moment and said, "That...... During this time, in order to take care of these stone base flowers, I also went to those shops several times and learned a lot of planting-related knowledge. ”
Benjamin nodded and said, "That's good." ”
"It's good. George seemed a little embarrassed, but he opened his mouth anyway, "That'...... Growing these materials is actually very profitable, but this small piece of land in our backyard is really unusable. I think it would be nice if we could buy another piece of land and grow more of our own?"
Benjamin was stunned.
It turned out that he had started his old profession and stimulated his inner desire to farm, so he wanted to plant bigger fields.
George had that idea, and Benjamin was certainly happy. It's just that it's good to further expand your income, but this field is really not that easy to grow. Don't you see, every time you talk about the farmers who contracted fish ponds to get rich, you have to talk about the things they lost money at the beginning?
"Land can be afforded, but it's hard to grow materials that can make money. He reminded, "The environmental requirements of each plant are different, and the more profitable it is, the more troublesome it is, and I don't know if I can buy such land." ”
"We can grow those simple ones. However, George felt that he had hit a head, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gushed endlessly, "The stone base flower is the cheapest kind, but there is also a cattail, this one is not so troublesome to plant, we can use magic to dig a small pond, and the cattail can also be planted with the fisheye flower, it is very convenient......!
Before he could finish speaking, Benjamin was dumbfounded.
Awesome.
They don't have a single book on this in their study. In other words, George had already learned so much just by running to those magic shops in Riley City. What perseverance!
From this farmer-turned-mage, Benjamin saw the purest kind of farming desire.
"Alright, alright...... How did you learn these things, and run to someone's store and ask questions without spending money, won't the shopkeeper be impatient?" Seeing that George was still talking, Benjamin couldn't help but interrupt him and asked.
"Yes, I've been kicked out of half of the shops in town. George nodded, a little embarrassed, "But...... It shouldn't matter, there are still half of the shops in the city. Now that I have experience, I don't ask too much every time I go, just buy something very cheap, and say more good things about the owner. After getting acquainted, they don't necessarily get angry, but they may say more. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin also had to be impressed.
He patted George on the shoulder and sighed in his heart: what a promising young man.
"People are much older than your current body. The system suddenly popped up and complained ruthlessly.
"Oh. Benjamin replied in his heart.
The "......" system has nothing to say.
In reality, Benjamin nodded with a smile and said, "You are so well prepared, of course I will not object." So how much land do you need, just say, I'll buy it for you. ”
These days, with the production of potions and the income of a mercenary group, Benjamin's deposit finally went up to four figures. Finally, the purse was unprecedentedly rich, and although it was not comparable to the trench of the Finch mage, it still allowed him to say such things with confidence.
Nor did he have a reason not to support it.
-- It was an investment, and George convinced him by his actions that it was a lucrative investment.
"I've already figured out which land to buy. However, George's preparation was more complete than he thought, "The city is not really good, but in the suburbs of Riley, there is some land that has been cultivated, and the price is relatively low. I just went to see it a few days ago, there is a very good place, less than half an hour to fly over, the soil is good, suitable for planting a variety of materials, only fifty gold coins. ”
So cheap?
Benjamin was also pleasantly surprised.
Yes, there is finally another one in his group of mages who can do things, learn skills and find a place, and solve it all by himself. The only thing Benjamin has to do is to pay the cost and reap the profits, and nothing else has to worry about.
Although he felt like he was born to work hard, he ...... It feels good to be a capitalist!
If only others could be as worry-free as George.
In this way, the purchase and sale of fifty gold coins, Benjamin agreed without hesitation.
Not only that, but he also generously promised that Benjamin only needed 30% of what was grown in the field, and the rest would go to George himself, so that George, who was used to being a tenant, was flattered, and his subjective initiative was greatly improved again.
In this way, George took the fifty gold coins given by Benjamin, and did not even bother to eat dinner, and went to buy the field contentedly. Seeing this, Benjamin could only smile and shake his head.
He had also been busy all day, and after dinner, he went back to his room and meditated.
It was late at night.
While meditating, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
On a tree outside the window, a pitch-black crow, fluttering its wings, landed on a branch facing the window. It paused in the tree for a moment, somewhat deliberately, and then flew away in a direction that Benjamin was familiar with.
