Chapter 267: Chapter 266: The Farmer’s Joy, Beyond Anyone’s Imagination!

Raccoons abroad are similar to stray cats back home.

They are both cute and overrun.

They can look either refined or shabby, depending mostly on the breed.

A good breed that’s well-educated is both clean and cute when raised.

Xu Yang’s idea was to raise a clean one.

It was only after he communicated with the breeding center that he found out he had ordered the best breed of raccoon.

It was relatively small and not easy to overfeed.

It looked very much like "Rocket" from Guardians of the Galaxy.

A day later, Little Raccoon was personally delivered to the farm.

After all, the market price for a little raccoon was over 8000, with the pricier ones costing 20000.

It definitely required personal delivery.

The little guy was a bit scared on his first visit to the farm.

It lay in its cage, cautiously looking around with an expression that was somewhat aggrieved.

The cultivation center told Xu Yang that their pets were neutered from a young age, and they had all the necessary breeding certificates, so there was no need to worry about reproduction issues.

Just raising it was enough.

The little guy was unfamiliar with this world.

The farm welcomed another new member.

Xu Yang, seeing its cute appearance, took great care of it and fed it some milk.

It was a small one, not like those wild raccoons.

At least its body wasn’t as bloated, and its color was brighter.

It looked very lovable.

Mainly because mammalian cubs are cute, especially when their fur first starts to grow, that’s the cutest stage.

Right now, the little foxes were at this stage, and Xu Yang especially liked them.

Raccoon was raised by Xu Yang in the yard and was named "Rocket."

The guy was initially a bit reserved, but gradually he became more confident.

Little Black liked to make friends and was always playing with it.

Little Raccoon seemed to feel lonely and would also always look for Little Black to play with.

Occasionally, Xu Yang would take it for a tour around the farm to see other animals.

The little guy got along well with the little foxes.

The only exception was seeing the Tabby Cat, Sang Biao, at which it would turn tail and run without looking back.

The Tabby Cat watched its hurried escape without paying it any mind.

It always did that, and it was unclear why.

Whenever the raccoon saw the Tabby Cat, it immediately turned tail and ran.

It never even had the courage to look directly.

It seemed it could sense a murderous aura from the Tabby Cat.

Quite interesting.

Xu Yang also prepared a coat and a toy rifle scaled-down for the little guy.

Dressed in its little coat and holding the rifle, it really looked like the movie character.

The little guy also loved wearing clothes.

This adorable Little Raccoon officially settled at the farm, with a good breed and a very nice temperament.

Indeed, a system-produced item was bound to be excellent.

It simply rested at the farm for two days, busying itself with agricultural tasks, and occasionally going to the market to sell some bread.

That afternoon, Xu Yang decided to go live-streaming within the farm.

As viewers came in, they were immediately greeted with a vista of blooming sunflower fields.

The farm’s staff, wearing straw hats, were weeding in the fields.

Xu Yang also wore a straw hat, strolling around.

Today’s live broadcast was about the daily routine at the farm, featuring casual chats with the audience now and then.

Mainly because his sunflower fields were particularly beautiful, Xu Yang wanted to show them off.

In the frame, the sunflowers were blooming towards the sun, a brilliant, golden expanse.

The scenery was superb.

Viewers immediately immersed themselves in the beauty of the sunflowers.

[Such beautiful sunflower fields, which scenic spot is this? I want to go and take photos!]

[These sunflowers are so beautiful!]

[Did Old Xu plant them himself?]

[I almost forgot, he’s got his ways with farming!]

Everyone marveled in astonishment.

At that moment, Xu Yang appeared on the live broadcast, smiling as he said,

"These are the sunflowers of our farm, planted in March and now about two months old, just in time for blooming."

"These sunflowers are of a very nice variety, with large flower disks, which should produce plenty of seeds later."

"Looking at this, the seeds should also be full."

Xu Yang saw the barrage of comments and felt quite pleased.

He wasn’t too moved by personal compliments, but praise for his crops and animals definitely made him happy.

The sunflowers were exceptionally beautiful.

They thrived in the sunlight.

At this point, Xu Yang moved aside, pointing toward the sun in the sky, saying,

"The nature of sunflowers is indeed interesting, look, the sun is over there."

"All the sunflowers are facing that direction."

"They grow towards the sun."

"Sometimes, if you look after a while, you can clearly see they’ve changed direction."

"Sunflowers turn to keep facing the sun."

Everyone had heard, more or less, the story of the sunflower.

Now seeing it for themselves, they found it quite intriguing.

At this moment, someone pointed out a blind spot.

[Sunflowers face east at sunrise and west at sunset, but when do they turn back around?]

[Do they all just whip their heads around as soon as the sun comes up every day?]

[That scene would be a bit scary, right!?]

[Yeah, how do they turn back around?]

Xu Yang was just chatting casually with everyone, and upon seeing their questions, he explained:

"They don’t just whip back around all at once."

"They slowly turn back around at night."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, everyone imagined the sunflowers sneaking their turns at night and couldn’t help but find it somewhat peculiar.

Surely a magical plant!

Just then, they saw a raccoon wearing a little vest running towards Xu Yang from not far away.

Xu Yang was familiar with it, but the netizens were seeing it for the first time.

The drone’s camera just happened to capture the scene of the raccoon running.

The barrage instantly became lively.

[Look over there, what is that?]

[What’s running over there?]

[Am I seeing things, or is that a protected animal?]

[Could that be a raccoon?]

Everyone was particularly shocked.

Which farm in China is raising this thing?

At first, everyone thought they were seeing wrong, that it might be a gray rabbit.

But as it got closer, they realized it indeed was a raccoon.

People don’t know much about raccoons, and some thought it was a protected species.

In fact, raccoons can now be legally bred domestically.

Seeing the lively barrage, Xu Yang glanced back.

Seeing Rocket the raccoon, he chuckled and explained:

"Didn’t I encounter a panda in Yunnan some time ago? Since I couldn’t keep that, I thought about keeping a raccoon."

"Raccoons are now pets, you can keep them, they aren’t protected animals."

"This guy is actually pretty cute, but probably because they’re overabundant abroad, some people don’t think highly of them."

"It really depends on the breed; this raccoon of mine has a slightly white fur, which means its breed is quite good."

This little raccoon was small, with a small head too.

It looked especially cute.

The netizens, hearing that raccoons could be kept as pets, all felt it was quite unique.

This was the first time they had heard of it.

[Really, can it be kept as a pet? It seems so cute!]

[Just looked it up, eight to fifteen thousand, can’t afford it!]

[This thing is everywhere abroad, and it’s this expensive!]

[Really quite unique!]

[Isn’t that normal? Kangaroos in Australia are overabundant, and we can’t even buy one domestically!]

Everyone began discussing again.

Little Raccoon stood obediently beside Xu Yang, clutching at his trousers with its tiny paws.

It was still a bit reserved.

The more reserved it appeared, the cuter it seemed.

At this time, four little foxes came hopping and jumping over to play here.

Their guts were much bigger; seeing Xu Yang, they ran straight over.

The raccoon noticed the foxes and immediately hid by Xu Yang’s feet, peeking out cautiously at the foxes.

The little foxes noticed the raccoon, each one becoming especially curious.

They were all little cute creatures, with eyes reflecting curiosity about the world.

During their juvenile period, animals are at their most innocent, and they might even become friends across different species.

The little foxes approached the raccoon with curiosity.

Seeming to sense that the foxes posed no danger, the raccoon also started to slowly walk towards the foxes.

This scene was displayed on the livestream, instantly making the viewers feel overwhelmed by cuteness.

The farm really was a treasure trove of cuteness, with all sorts of adorable juvenile animals.

Xu Yang stood still, watching the little critters play around his feet.

Since they were all raised on the farm, seeing them getting along made Xu Yang happy.

Perhaps because the four little foxes were born on the farm, they didn’t wander off much.

Unlike their parents, who were always out of sight.

But as they grew up, they might want to go outside.

Likely, they would spend their juvenile periods on the farm and then return to the forest when they grow up.

The raccoon and the little foxes gradually got to know each other, and they soon started playing and frolicking together.

Several adorable little critters bounced around on the grass.

After watching them for a while, Xu Yang casually pulled out a couple of weeds, then strolled away to walk the Sika Deer.

The employees were still diligently weeding.

Being the farmer mainly involved mental stress, but if one could adjust their mindset and let the farm develop properly, it would still be quite joyful.

Moreover, Xu Yang had the system.

The farmer’s joy was beyond anyone else’s imagination.
