Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start

Chapter 387: Chapter 385 Xu Yang: My farm is still too conservative!

"I can’t believe I’m starting to unlock the world map!"

"Even though it’s only Asia and Australia for now, it’s enough for me to explore."

"Going treasure hunting in other countries and bringing treasures back, that feels pretty good."

"Of course, it also depends on the treasure."

Xu Yang thought to himself, feeling quite excited.

There are many unsolved mysteries in the world.

Take Siberia for instance, where the Tsarist royal family retreated, leaving countless treasures along the way.

It’s said that loads of people died on the frozen Lake Baikal, and thousands of pounds of gold were chiseled into the ice before sinking to the bottom of the lake.

Although it’s just legend, such a vast unpopulated area must have leftover treasures.

And then there’s Australia, rich in species resources and uniquely situated geographically, home to many cute animals.

But to be fair, Xu Yang was still more interested in the animals within Huaxia, feeling they matched his aesthetic better.

Foreign animals are good for a fresh look.

So, the main goal of going out was treasure hunting.

Xu Yang immediately checked the Treasure Map, and the Treasure Hunting Level for the Siberia area was dark purple, with the level marked as "Excellent."

Generally, Xu Yang had only seen levels described as "Good."

This was his first time seeing an "Excellent" level.

"The Treasure Hunting Level for this place is so high."

"Excellent..."

"There must be so many treasures buried here."

Xu Yang thought to himself.

Siberia is vast and sparsely populated.

There are many fierce animals here, the most typical being the giant wild boar and the Siberian Tiger.

The Siberian Tiger is also known as the Northeast Tiger, different names for the world’s most ferocious beasts.

Those are just the representatives; other wild beasts like jackals, wolves, leopards, brown bears, and black bears all exist here.

Truly dangerous.

"You can’t just casually head into the unpopulated areas of Siberia without a life-saving trump card."

"Running into a tiger as fierce as Hu Niu, I’d definitely be done for."

Xu Yang looked at this place and felt an itching desire.

He wanted to go, but staying alive was a priority.

Without any life-saving trump cards at the moment, like the Good Person Card, encountering a Siberian Tiger would spell the end.

The tigers there certainly wouldn’t consider Xu Yang a fellow villager.

So, this matter needed long-term planning.

Netizens all thought Xu Yang wasn’t afraid of death, but in reality, how could he not be, if not for having a trump card?

"At least I need a Good Person Card, so I could at least survive when facing tigers or brown bears."

Xu Yang mused to himself.

So, after the Treasure Compass upgraded, he didn’t rush over there right away.

The farm was now developing steadily, and daily tasks were proceeding as normal.

Li Shan helped out on a daily basis.

Of course, to truly be a hands-off manager, Xu Yang needed someone who could keep an eye on the work.

Thus, the three early elders: Ma Wen, Li Shan, and Wang Wu, were promoted to managers; Ma Wen took care of livestock breeding, Li Shan was in charge of the fifteen blueberry greenhouses, and Wang Wu looked after the fields and also managed another five greenhouses.

That’s the advantage of following the big brother from the start of a business; with no one above you, the promotions come fast.

Naturally, the atmosphere at the farm was good, and there weren’t too many management issues.

Everyone’s ideas could be shared with Xu Yang.

The seeds bought from Dave’s store had all been planted, such as the premium hot peppers, sunflower seeds, pest-repellent flowers, and so on.

It was almost summer now, and many flowers on the farm were blooming, making it look pretty.

Summer on the farm was indeed wonderful.

Rich in produce, with lively animals.

Occasionally catching Little Black chasing a fox, or seeing the Tabby Cat finding a place to sunbathe.

Sometimes, when Xu Yang was bored, he would go into the mountains to see the leopard and take on a Treasure Hunting Task.

Today, with nothing much to do, Xu Yang called Ma Wen early and headed deep into the mountains to see the tigers.

He didn’t choose to live stream this experience.

Explaining the leopard was one thing, but the tiger was a harder sell.

Luckily, the Little Mountain God was still around, but Hu Niu was nowhere to be seen.

The Little Mountain God visibly perked up in joy.

Without the tigress following, life indeed became more relaxed.

Mainly because Hu Niu was too domineering, that sense of oppression was real.

Apart from the Little Mountain God, there was also a half-year-old tiger cub, his son Da Hua, temporarily staying with the Little Mountain God.

Upon seeing Xu Yang, Da Hua immediately growled a warning.

After all, being out of sight for so long, it’s natural to feel strange upon seeing him again.

Hearing Da Hua growling, the Little Mountain God straight up smacked it on the head.

With that smack, Da Hua immediately looked meek.

The Little Mountain God growled at it, seeming to say,

"Do you still want to drink milk!"

Embarrassed, Da Hua licked its tongue and dared not act up again.

Xu Yang burst into laughter.

A half-year-old tiger wasn’t that big, so Xu Yang wasn’t scared.

He might not be able to defeat a full-grown tiger, but a half-year-old tiger? He could manage that.

Xu Yang pulled out a milk bottle, as usual to feed the Little Mountain God.

The Little Mountain God promptly came over to drink.

The tiger’s head was really big; one hand placed on it couldn’t even cover its forehead.

Compared to the human head, it looked a lot smaller.

Beside him, Da Hua couldn’t help but swallow twice.

Then, he cautiously approached, wanting to drink some milk.

Luckily, Xu Yang had prepared plenty and fed him a bottle too.

The scene in the forest was especially amusing.

Today was supposed to be a very ordinary day.

Xu Yang had lots of chances on his Treasure Compass, so he exchanged it for a regular Treasure Hunting Task, just for fun.

The prize he got was:

"A Good Person Card."

Upon receiving this award, Xu Yang suddenly froze.

"Good Person Card?"

"Is it here?"

"Just in time, now that I have a life-saving trump card, going to dangerous places is absolutely no problem."

"Even if I encounter fierce beasts, at least I can survive."

Xu Yang immediately made a decision.

Off to Siberia to find treasures.

Bringing back the treasures from the uninhabited regions.

After deciding, Xu Yang started to get busy planning his trip.

His first stop was set to be Lake Baikal.

Lake Baikal is the deepest and has the most water of any freshwater lake in the world.

It’s the place where Su Wu herded sheep.

It used to belong to the ancient Huaxia dynasties, but unfortunately, it was later separated from the country.

At that time, the emperor thought that Lake Baikal, covered in ice and snow in winter, was useless.

Little did he know that Lake Baikal’s fresh water and tourism are very developed.

Naturally, where there’s lots of water, there are lots of people; it’s a natural law.

Xu Yang also took the chance to invite his girlfriend, after all, his girlfriend was a pretty and well-shaped soft girl, pleasant to get along with.

He planned to travel around with her for a few days, then send her back by plane, before he headed off to explore the uninhabited areas on his own.

So, after confirming the itinerary, Xu Yang packed his things and went off on his Lake Baikal vacation date.

Lake view rooms, diving, swimming, eating seafood, as well as horse riding and go-karting.

Traveling with money was always enjoyable.

The two got along even better, and when Xu Yang returned from Siberia, they planned to go to Taiwan to meet the parents.

However, Xu Yang said with a smile,

"Can’t be jinxing things like that. Haven’t you seen the TV dramas? Anyone who says ’If I return alive, I’ll marry you’ basically gets cut off."

"It’s like a certain death buff."

Su Yutong was a bit angry, "Who talks like that, stop being a jinx."

"Don’t worry, it won’t happen, I’m safe."

Xu Yang knew that he shouldn’t joke about such matters, especially in front of someone who cared about him, so he hugged his girlfriend to comfort her.

After all, she was a soft girl, and she cheered up quite easily.

Once their tour was mostly over, it was time to head deep into Siberia.

Siberia was vast.

Vast to an exaggerated point.

Here, there were huge expanses of primordial forests, the kind where nobody lived.

Occasionally there might be a small village, also cut off from the world, where in the winter, not even supply trucks could get through.

This was Siberia, scarcely populated.

Most of Russia’s population was concentrated in Europe, with very few in Siberia.

But there were many stories here, such as many farmers raising bears.

Xu Yang was also lucky; a relative from a village had been living in Russia for many years, and after contacting them, he found a place to stay.

That was a small village deep in the uninhabited region, where a local family would accommodate him.

The village was right beside the primordial forest.

Each household was quite far from the next.

At first, Xu Yang didn’t mind, but when he arrived at the family’s home, he was dumbfounded.

This family raised bears, living brown bears.

The moment he saw the brown bear, Xu Yang felt his farm was too conservative.

His farm raised leopards and wild wolves.

But this family was raising a proper brown bear.

"Wow, a bear?"

Upon seeing the brown bear, Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.

The family’s owner was a burly man, initially worried that Xu Yang would be afraid of the bear, and wanted to explain that they had raised it from a cub.

But Xu Yang wasn’t afraid at all.

He even felt it was nice to interact with the brown bear up close.

"Brown bears, huh? What you’ve raised here is pretty impressive."

Xu Yang knew some Russian and could converse simply with them.

Seeing Xu Yang’s reaction, they were very pleased.

In the evening, they insisted on having drinks with Xu Yang.

People here had few hobbies, just a penchant for drinking; whenever they had money, they drank.

Xu Yang, just arrived, cheerfully drank with them all night.

Then, he became quite interested in the brown bear.

The next day he made a video, partly to introduce the place he was in and partly as a preview for his livestream.

After seeing the video, netizens also became very excited.
