Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 416 - 414: Journey and New Mission! Wonderful Experience!

Chapter 416: Chapter 414: Journey and New Mission! Wonderful Experience!

In the peak of summer, the scenery was at its most beautiful.

Animals in the mountains were brimming with vitality, the continuous sounds of insects and birds ringing through the air.

Xu Yang occasionally went up to the mountains to see Leopard, which served as a stroll and a form of relaxation.

One day, having nothing else to do, he brought out the dogs to herd sheep.

When it came to shepherding, the dogs didn’t need any instruction; they did a very good job.

Especially Little Wolf.

The situation was quite ridiculous.

A wolf not eating sheep, instead herding them.

But, it also made sense.

For Little Wolf, there was a clear distinction between a full meal and regular meals.

Working for Xu Yang, he got all sorts of delicious food, which was much better than raw mutton.

As he strolled, a few young guys from the village who filmed short videos every day started a live stream not far from Xu Yang, pointing their cameras at him.

Anyway, it was a chance to make some money.

Live streaming was now commonplace in the Northeast.

And there were quite a few people making money from it.

After all, it was much easier to earn money online than in real life.

Xu Yang felt a bit awkward but knew he couldn’t change it, so he decided it was better to make fewer appearances in the future.

The viewers in these live stream rooms were having a jolly time.

Seeing Xu Yang from a different angle was quite interesting.

Xu Yang remained calm and leisurely as ever.

[Old Xu is actually herding sheep himself, his net worth must be in the billions by now!]

[Hahaha, a billionaire herding sheep by himself, it’s something you wouldn’t dare to even think of!]

[This life is so real!]

Everyone chatted casually in the live stream rooms.

Xu Yang took the sheep out for a round of grazing, and then herded the flock back.

The construction on the farm was getting better and better, bustling with life.

The roads in the living area had been paved, and even streetlights had been installed.

Xu Yang didn’t have to worry about anything.

He had been at home for a while and was getting a little bored.

Mainly because he was missing his cute and soft girlfriend.

It just so happened that he had enough Treasure Hunting points, so he opened the Treasure Map to check the next destination.

This time, the Treasure Map indicated that the Treasure Hunting Level for the Yangtze River Basin was "fairly good".

Xu Yang immediately started planning a trip along the Yangtze River.

His way of traveling was naturally not so exhausting, after all, he was not short of money.

Xu Yang’s choice was to find a good travel agency and book a luxury cruise.

The cruise was named Yangtze River No.3, with 7 passenger decks, a capacity for 600 people. It cost thousands of dollars, and naturally, Xu Yang booked one of the better rooms.

He would follow the cruise downstream, touring the Yangtze River.

Passing by Fengdu Ghost City, Baidi City, Little Three Gorges, Shen Nv Creek, Three Gorges Dam, Yueyang Tower, and other places, the trip was 6 days and 5 nights, everything clearly arranged.

He and Su Yutong discussed and then immediately confirmed their itinerary.

The two were indeed a good match.

Xu Yang liked to travel around and see the sights.

And Su Yutong felt the same.

Life was just perfectly matched.

After booking the trip, Xu Yang, as usual, said goodbye to the animals on the farm, then grabbed his suitcase and headed to Chongqing to board the ship.

Of course, upon arriving in Chongqing, he definitely wanted to play for a couple of days first.

The scenery in Chongqing was notably good, and the food was amazing too.

Before eating the hot pot, Su Yutong assured him she could handle spicy food with confidence.

But when she stepped in and saw other people’s spicy pots, she was stunned on the spot.

A full pot crammed with chili peppers, the whole pot red, just looking at it made one feel a burning sensation on the tongue.

"Plenty of chili peppers, enjoy eating," Xu Yang said with a laugh, seeing her like this.

"This is a bit too exaggerated," Su Yutong had some regrets.

At home, she was considered someone who could handle spice, but compared to here, it was nothing.

"This is how hot pot is here, let’s get a Yin Yang pot; I like the mushroom broth," Xu Yang said with a smile.

Soon, the menu was ordered and a Yin Yang pot was served.

All kinds of exquisite side dishes were also ready.

Having a companion out was a different feeling.

Xu Yang used to go to noodle shops, eating a bowl of beef noodles, or would order a few home-style dishes at a small restaurant.

Or he would eat at the hotel.

As a man on his own, he was not particular about food.

But now he was much more discerning.

Xu Yang first put in the beef and lamb, then the tripe.

Eating hot pot, tripe was the soul, a must-order item.

Just a few minutes in the boiling water, then dipped in a spicy sauce, and upon taking a bite, the crunchiness and flavor burst forth, thoroughly pleasurable.

Some passersby recognized Xu Yang, some took photos sneakily, while others came over to ask for a photo together.

After the photos, they took a few extra secret peeks at the beautiful Su Yutong, all envious of Xu Yang’s good fortune.

Being out and about was quite lively.

After finishing their hot pot, the two went to Hongya Cave to see the night view.

The scenery was beautiful, with dazzling lights, giving off an atmosphere of worldly life, and it was interesting to wander around.

It was quite nice, this way.

While still young, it was good to travel to more places.

Once kids come along, and school starts, there really would be no time.

Since the two started their relationship early, they could enjoy a few years of just the two of them traveling the world.

After finishing their sightseeing and returning to the hotel, naturally, the night held unspeakable events.

Life was full of fun.

After a couple of days, Xu Yang finally boarded the Yangtze River No.3 luxury cruise ship.

The cruise ship looked like a moving skyscraper, with windows all over from the outside.

The interior offered full facilities including a swimming pool, restaurant, and various shops.

The two of them booked a luxury suite, which had a particularly nice environment, and even included a large balcony with a view of the river.

The experience was also not bad.

When the ship set sail, Xu Yang went up to the open upper deck to start a live stream and chat with everyone.

[Brother Yang is live!]

[What a huge cruise ship, where is it heading?]

[Damn, the Titanic?]

Through the drone footage, the giant cruise ship looked like a behemoth moving ahead, the sight of it was luxurious.

The online community discussed it with slight excitement.

Xu Yang explained to everyone,

"I’ve booked a travel group for the Yangtze River, and for the next few days, I’ll enjoy the scenery along the river banks."

"After the trip ends, I might explore along the banks of the Yangtze River."

"Now that I have more time, I occasionally come out for a stroll."

"Taking advantage of my youth to travel around, feeling the river breeze is quite refreshing."

Xu Yang looked at the river surface, his mood was bright.

Netizens grew increasingly envious of his life.

Of course, regular travel live streams weren’t so compelling, after all, everyone’s interest in scenery wasn’t that great.

Still, there needed to be something to attract the audience.

Xu Yang didn’t plan to live stream for too long, just to chat with his old fans for a bit.

After all, having live streamed for so long, he had accumulated a large number of loyal followers, and it was necessary to maintain regular broadcasting.

When the travel ended, he would go to explore the Yangtze River Basin.

See if he could trigger some Treasure Hunting Task and what kind of rewards he would get.

[Old Xu, do you need an assistant? Take me with you, I’ll help with the chores!]

[Take me with you, I really don’t want to go to my job right now!]

[Wait for my next holiday, I must go out to play!]

[I want freedom too!]

Some netizens were wailing in the live stream chat.

Seeing such comments, Xu Yang could only laugh.

He could offer no help.

Xu Yang showed everyone the river view, talked about the beauty of the Yangtze River Basin, then turned off the live stream.

The ship journeyed far, stopping occasionally, and the tourists went together to see the sights.

Initially, Xu Yang was indifferent to tourism, but with someone accompanying him, his happiness index was high and he played happily.

The travel was quite relaxing all the way.

The main reason was that the facilities on the cruise were good and it wasn’t too bumpy, which made it enjoyable.

By the time they reached the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Xu Yang planned to go on an adventure to explore.

Some parts of the Yangtze River were closed to commercial fishing but open for angling, with clear regulations.

Fishing with a rod was allowed as long as you didn’t use nets.

The reason was simple, fisherman who fished with baskets were willing to spend money, buying all first-rate fish food, which played an important role in the ecological prosperity of the river.

With them, there were more fish.

Xu Yang chose to rent a boat to fish on a river channel leading to Poyang Lake.

All the while doing a Treasure Hunting Task.

[Treasure Hunting Task triggered: Fishing! Ultra Rare Freshwater Creature!]

[Task Description: During fishing, discover a rare freshwater creature!]

[Task Reward: Special Gift!]

The task was somewhat vague, and the reward was too, leaving people full of questions.

"What could a rare freshwater creature be?"

Xu Yang was curious in his heart.

"Anyway, let’s prepare the bait and see what happens."

Since the task was triggered, it was worth a try.

Although it wasn’t a Rare Level task he had triggered, it still felt good.

The small boat slowly made its way to the deeper parts of the water, with a dedicated boatman handling the oars.

The drone rose high.

The live stream was opened, and the number of viewers rapidly increased.

In the footage, an old fishing boat with Xu Yang on board, wearing a straw hat and preparing bait, looked quite picturesque.

The June sun was scorching and a bit intense to bear.

Xu Yang’s straw hat provided some relief from the heat.

[Old Xu, what kind of plane are you flying now?]

[Nice, actually fishing on the river!]

[Clearly a novice, who goes fishing in the river? The water there is the deepest. It’s hard to catch fish!]

[Indeed, it’s also not easy to prepare a fishing spot. Sprinkling some bait will just get carried away by the river.]

The netizens were busy discussing.

A lot of fishing aficionados pointed out the flaws in Xu Yang’s fishing technique.

Xu Yang didn’t explain.

He wasn’t just fishing for fish.

The netizens thought he was on the first level, while in fact, he was in the atmosphere.

And Xu Yang inherently had fishing skills, this was no challenge for him.

The fishing boat anchored on the river surface.

Here the river flow was very slow, hardly perceptible. It was a suitable spot.

Then, Xu Yang scattered the prepared bait across a large area into the river.

Next, he set up his fishing hook and began to fish.

Over the years, the ecology of the Yangtze River Basin had recovered well.

The number of fish had increased.

So, it wasn’t long before the fishing float began to bob up and down.

That’s a bite!
