Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 421 - 419: Dave’s Shop’s New Item Variety!

Chapter 421: Chapter 419: Dave’s Shop’s New Item Variety!

My wife was pregnant, and naturally, the next steps were to get our marriage certificate and plan the wedding.

For Xu Yang, his wedding would take place at the farm.

Don’t think that just because it was on a farm, the decorations were any less extravagant—there were staged, seats, arches, and more, all quite costly.

Xu Yang hired a professional team, and even the grass had been replaced with freshly laid turf.

The wedding day was bustling with activity.

Every single animal was decked out, each wearing a big red flower around their necks.

Outside the farm, Xiao Hua’s family somehow caught wind of the event and came too.

They didn’t get close, just watched from a distance outside the farm.

Little Fox poked its head out from the pasture, looking over curiously.

Black Kite was circling in the sky.

Many friends had come from all over.

For example, Xu Yang’s university classmates, high school classmates, and business partners, among others.

The atmosphere on-site was particularly lively.

Such an occasion was always worth celebrating.

However, this wedding was only spread within the farm and the village; there was no news on the internet. This was something Xu Yang had deliberately mentioned to everyone.

The attendees, being close friends and family, wouldn’t randomly post about it.

The wedding was both cozy and grand, with everyone offering their heartfelt congratulations.

The bride’s family was also very polite. Later on, Xu Yang took them around for a tour as a gesture of hospitality.

Now with a child, it was time to consider prenatal care.

The farm’s environment was a bit complex, after all, with pigs, cows, and sheep around, and the dogs frequently roamed about, inevitably carrying some germs.

It wouldn’t be good if it affected the fetus.

So, Xu Yang’s solution was to send his wife away.

By ’send away,’ he meant buying a small villa in the city to serve as their home.

The housing prices here were much lower compared to those big cities, so buying a small villa was not a big deal for him.

Moreover, the villa was fully furnished, equipped with everything needed.

With money, anything could be bought.

Xu Yang also personally tested for harmful substances like formaldehyde in the house to ensure there were no issues before settling in with Su Yutong.

A nanny was hired to provide daily meticulous care.

The bride’s mother also planned to stay for a month to keep Su Yutong company.

With his wife at home, Xu Yang had no immediate plans to wander.

Since the distance was short, he visited the farm every day, sometimes staying there for a day or two to play with the little critters.

Life was still joyful.

He didn’t need to worry too much about the family.

Everything was properly arranged.

Su Yutong even told him to go live-streaming outside if he wanted, as long as he stayed safe.

Not to be too adventurous.

She meant those words sincerely, for Su Yutong’s consistent belief was that as long as a man was doing the right thing, he should focus more on his career.

She didn’t feel that she needed "care" that much.

Life was already very good.

She felt a sense of belonging here.

Xu Yang felt increasingly that he had married a good wife. After spending so much time together, she truly satisfied him.

He was lucky.

And so, time passed day by day.

Since the White Sturgeon incident, Xu Yang had not appeared online for a whole month.

He was busy with the farm and family life every day.

The days were plain, but happy.

When the Treasure Compass’s uses were full, he’d take Xiao Hua into the woods to do a couple of Treasure Hunting Tasks.

But Xu Yang was still young, only in his twenties, and his love for nature could not be hidden.

Especially after seeing so many magnificent landscapes, he yearned to explore new and novel places.

Since the White Sturgeon incident, Xu Yang’s popularity value had soared to over twenty-seven million.

With a bit more, he could reach thirty-two million and, in turn, would be able to upgrade the Treasure Compass once again.

That afternoon, bored, Xu Yang checked the "Dave’s Shop" in the system.

Today, the shop had refreshed with new seeds.

[Giant Cabbage (Rare Level) Seeds*100, exchange requires 100000 points]

"Rare level cabbage?"

"Haven’t seen that before."

"But what to do with such a huge cabbage, I wonder if the taste will improve."

"Never mind, let’s plant them and see."

Seeing the rare level seeds, Xu Yang naturally chose to plant them.

Upon obtaining the giant seeds, he also got an introduction to the giant cabbage.

The cabbages would grow vertically, reaching about 1 meter in height.

Reading the introduction, Xu Yang was a bit baffled.

One meter?

That’s nearly waist-high.

If he planted these hundred cabbages, wouldn’t the professors at the nearby Agricultural University go mad?

Such big cabbages had appeared before.

But only rarely.

Xu Yang had all these things in mind.

Thinking it over, Xu Yang decided to plant 50 heads of cabbage first.

The farm had plenty of room after all.

With plenty of space came the freedom to plant whatever he wanted.

Thus, he summoned the workers to find an empty spot and planted the cabbages.

The quality of Xu Yang’s crops was high, and that was no secret.

"Farm Director, are you planting cabbages? There are cabbage fields everywhere here; we usually have loads for sale around the New Year, we could just buy some."

"And they’re not expensive either."

Wang Wu suggested to Xu Yang, who was by his side.

He felt that the returns on cabbage were too low.

Such good land—it could be used to grow anything.

The price of cabbage was too low; otherwise, the phrase "as cheap as cabbages" wouldn’t be used to describe something inexpensive.

"These cabbages are different; just plant them."

Xu Yang responded.

At this time, Li Shan also asked,

"Farm Director, won’t this spacing be a bit too wide? The distance between the cabbages seems a bit far apart."

Li Shan wasn’t aware of how large the giant cabbages could grow and was speaking based on the spacing for regular cabbages.

He had grown cabbages at home before and knew exactly how to plant them.

"Just plant them within the areas I’ve marked out, don’t worry about anything else."

Xu Yang directed.

Hearing his instructions, the workers naturally followed his orders.

The fifty cabbage seeds were successfully sown.

Now it was just a matter of waiting for them to mature.

It would certainly be interesting once the cabbages grew big.

The animals on the farm were still very active, enjoying their days with happiness.

Taking advantage of the good weather, they could freely savor the vitality of life.

The farm was like a paradise.

Among them, Little Wolf was the most eye-catching with its large size and conspicuous appearance.

Yet, it had a gentle temperament.

The retired police dog Bullet preferred to sleep, but when the weather was nice, it would play with Little Black and others.

Its retirement life wasn’t too shabby.

Xu Yang began to ponder his next move.

On the Treasure Map, most of the regions were of normal Treasure Hunting Level.

In Siberia, the Treasure Hunting Level had always been "Fair," but the distance was too far and the area too vast, Xu Yang didn’t plan to go there for the time being.

There were too many tigers, brown bears, and wild pigs; it wasn’t safe.

Now that he had a child, he wouldn’t be as reckless as before.

Safety first.

With a beautiful wife at home, he had to live well.

Xu Yang wasn’t sure where to go next, so he went online to check the news.

The buzz from the White Sturgeon incident hadn’t died down yet, and Xu Yang saw something interesting.

That was the improvement of Huaxia’s ecological environment, as many rare national treasure-level animals were returning, reappearing in people’s sight.

For example, the Round-nosed giant lizard returned to Yunnan Longling County after disappearing for ten years.

The Chinese Pangolin returned to Qixingkeng Nature Reserve after a disappearance of twenty years.

The Yellow-bellied Hornbill returned to Shimen Nature Reserve after twenty-one years.

The Clouded Cat returned to Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve after thirty years.

These were all pieces of good news.

Xu Yang thought they were very meaningful.

It seemed that animal protection had indeed improved.

There were many reserves in the country that he could visit, but Xu Yang had to consider whether his presence would cause any adverse impacts, such as disturbing the animals.

If it could be avoided, it should be.

While he was contemplating where to go, a location on the Treasure Map suddenly changed color.

From the ordinary blue, it turned to a fair purple.

Seeing the map change, Xu Yang’s gaze was drawn.

On closer inspection, the location on the map lay within the Xinjiang region.

Xinjiang was vast with many reserves, but those reserves were off-limits to the public.

However, this time the location wasn’t within any reserve.

Three large characters were written on the map:

Lop Nur.

"Lop Nur? Isn’t that a desert relic site?"

"At most, it’s traversed."

"Still, it’s connected to the Tarim Basin, which has a lot of wildlife; it might be worth a visit."

Xu Yang calculated in his mind.

Nothing much to do anyway, why not take on a couple of Treasure Hunting Tasks and do some live streaming for a few days over there?

The thought of not having gone treasure hunting for a long time excited Xu Yang.

Treasure Hunting Tasks still had to be done.

After all, the rewards from the tasks were often quite good.

They brought a lot of joy to his life.
