Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start

Chapter 95: Chapter 95 We Two Are Really Awesome!

The farm became even more lively.

One could always spot unusual animals.

The Tabby cat liked to stroll around here.

Little Fox loved to come to the farm to play.

Now, there was also an injured Sika Deer.

Mainly because the human living areas were rich in resources, had lots of tasty food, and were safe, the animals naturally liked it.

In the last few days, Little Mei Hua had been following Xu Yang, curious about everything on the farm.

"Eat your fill and then head back to the forest, you are a wild Sika Deer, don’t wander aimlessly."

Sometimes when Xu Yang got annoyed with it following him, he would scold it a bit.

Every time he did, the Sika Deer would look at Xu Yang with its innocent big eyes, filled with confusion and pity.

And also with a hint of begging for food.

This guy really liked to beg for food.

"Look, I saved you, now you want me to feed you too."

"That’s like repaying kindness with ingratitude!"

Xu Yang would laugh and make these remarks, but he actually quite liked this Sika Deer.

Mainly because it was particularly easy to keep. The Deer House tended to have hundreds of them, and there was never any problem, so keeping just one was very easy.

Of course, occasionally he had to feed Little Mei Hua’s relatives and friends too.

At this moment, Li Shan finished up his work in the greenhouse and walked out from inside.

He just happened to see the situation with Xu Yang and the Sika Deer.

Li Shan found it very unusual.

The Sika Deer was indifferent to him.

It would eat what he fed, but getting the Sika Deer to follow him voluntarily was out of the question.

To be precise, many animals on the farm were close to Xu Yang, as if they all knew he was the boss.

It was the same with Little Fox. As soon as it came to the farm, it looked for Xu Yang and if it didn’t find him, it would head off to play elsewhere.

Alas, it’s frustrating, how some people naturally attract animals.

Since he had nothing particular to do this morning, Xu Yang decided to express his "Mountain Wanderer" attribute and strolled over to the nearby Agricultural University’s experimental fields.

It just so happened that the Agricultural University students were there today, seemingly busy weeding and pest controlling.

They came over every few days to take care of their "term project."

All for the sake of academic credits.

Xu Yang sauntered over lazily, with the Sika Deer and two dogs following behind him.

What’s the prestige of a farmer?

When the boss steps out, he must have his followers.

The Agricultural University had a good relationship with him, even the teacher responsible for their practical outdoor classes was an acquaintance of Xu Yang.

Previously, during the construction of the greenhouse, taking advantage of the land not being used for crops, the Agricultural University teacher even brought students to adapt to the local conditions, conducting a greenhouse class.

Xu Yang’s intelligent, temperature-controlled greenhouse was an excellent teaching site, showcasing the technological level of modern agriculture.

"The farmer is here!"

A few students who had just finished uprooting weeds and were checking on the field conditions gathered around immediately when they saw Xu Yang.

Everyone liked to chat with Xu Yang.

A social media influencer with millions of followers, who kept a Leopard and even fought adult wild boars single-handedly.

These attributes made him admired in the eyes of the university students.

"Farmer! Good morning!"

The students were quite enthusiastic.

Wu Kai, who had a darker skin, was also there. Seeing him, Xu Yang asked,

"Wu Kai, can you earn your credits this year?"

The experimental fields of Agricultural University were surrounded by a low fence, primarily to prevent wild boars from entering, though people could easily step over it.

Xu Yang walked over with the Sika Deer, and everyone’s attention was on the deer.

"Farmer, no problem. I’ve switched to growing melons, they should ripen just fine."

"Just make sure they don’t get eaten."

"The experimental fields at school, now the Agricultural College and the Animal Science Institute are almost at each other’s throats. The institute’s animals keep eating the fruits every day, a lot of people’s term projects are being eaten."

Wu Kai said with a laugh.

Hearing his words, Xu Yang found it quite interesting. It seemed that life at Agricultural University was quite exciting.

Of course, if he had to choose, he would definitely opt for the Animal Science Institute, as keeping animals was more interesting than farming, which was too tiring.

"Melons? Can you plant them this season, in time?"

"And with the rainy season coming up, the seedlings are not likely to survive, right?"

Xu Yang chatted with them casually.

Not to mention, melons were a good choice after all. With proper fertilization, they could mature in 45 days.

Each time Xu Yang chatted with Agricultural University students, he came up with new ideas.

It seemed growing melons in the greenhouse wasn’t a bad idea.

Fast maturing, fast profits, and importantly, they were delicious and many people liked them. This kind of off-season fruit was very popular.

"He comes up with one thing after another, the semester’s almost ending, and he just planted some green onions and peanuts, probably won’t earn many credits."

A student next to Wu Kai said with a laugh.

"Prepping for a re-study, it seems."

Another person laughed.

Their "re-study" referred to "repeating a grade," meaning if they didn’t do well in farming, they might have to repeat a year if they continually earned low credits.

Of course, repeating a grade was rare; they were just joking.

"What of it, if I want to eat, I’ll grow it. The teachers don’t mind, they let us grow what we want, so I chose melons."

Wu Kai held a shovel in his hand, drove it into the ground, stepped on it, and with hands rested on the handle, responded,

"You can indeed grow melons this season, just lay a thin film to protect against the rain, they should ripen by October."

"You could also grow cucumbers, autumn beans, or celery, carrots, daylilies, and such."

Xu Yang nodded and suggested,

"Farmer, is this Sika Deer you’re raising? It’s so big!"

Several Agricultural University students looked at the Sika Deer with enthusiasm on their faces.

"It’s wild, it was injured, I saved it, and it’s been registered with the police station, now it’s recuperating on my farm,"

Xu Yang explained.

"Wild?"

Upon hearing it was wild, the group got even more excited.

Two of them even took out a handful of peanuts from their pockets, cracked open the shells, and were about to feed the Sika Deer.

Another university student, seeing this, frowned and realized that things were not that simple:

"Damn! Where did you get these peanuts?"

"Did you just pick them from my field?"

The two holding the peanuts chuckled, "The teacher has already seen it, your peanut field is pretty good, it earns credits."

"Having a bit isn’t a big deal."

Crops are usually abundant in large patches, and the output is very high, taking a little indeed has no big impact.

This is also one of the advantages of farming.

The guy growing peanuts is named Liu Wu, from Yanji, his home is in the city area.

Xu Yang often chatted with these guys and knew that Liu Wu was currently the top student in their department, his fields were especially good, whatever he plants thrives, he’s a natural at farming.

Xu Yang had also asked Liu Wu what he wanted to do in the future, whether to stay at school for research institute or to start his own business.

Liu Wu said the institute was not easy to get into, and if he couldn’t, he was ready to find a job, or go to a large farm in Beidahuang.

But he still had two years till graduation, it was too early to decide, he would see then.

The university students climbed over the fence, stretched out their hands holding peanut kernels to feed the Sika Deer.

The Sika Deer didn’t refuse the visitors, and quickly nibbled up the tasty peanuts.

"You guys seem pretty busy here."

Xu Yang continued to chat casually with the students.

"Farmer, we’re not busy here, we came for a break from busyness."

"You don’t know what it’s like at our school, the rice is ripe, the older students are harvesting rice every day, and the freshmen and sophomores are all busy in the rice paddies."

"There’s only one harvester, it can’t handle all, we rely entirely on manpower."

"It’s better to be here, having a chat, checking out the fields, and the day just passes by."

Wu Kai said, laughing.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh as well.

It was the same when he was in university, sometimes there were tasks assigned, and if you could find a way to be lazy, it felt awesome.

He still missed those days.

"Farmer, let us know if there’s anything we can help with here."

"After all, we’re all good at farming,"

the students said enthusiastically.

"Not really, I can manage on my own here."

"Just watching what you guys plant is quite interesting."

Xu Yang looked toward the fallen corn field and laughed,

The corn had fallen but wasn’t uprooted. Given how big they’d grown, it wasn’t easy to pull them out, so they were left lying down.

They would be dealt with during the autumn harvest along with the other corn.

Wu Kai’s face showed a bit of embarrassment. "Next year I’m still planting corn, I’ll definitely make it work!"

Xu Yang had also planted some corn in his greenhouse, which was currently growing very well. He didn’t mention it, mainly because he didn’t want to dampen Wu Kai’s enthusiasm.

"Okay, you guys get busy, my farm is right over there, just call if you need anything."

Xu Yang waved his hand and said goodbye to the students.

He left with the Sika Deer.

Seeing the backs of Xu Yang and the Sika Deer, the students admired them yet again.

Everyone still liked him quite a bit.

Even at school, some juniors and seniors had heard that Xu Yang’s farm was near the experimental fields and wanted to come and take a look.

"I heard the farmer’s raising a Leopard, if the people from the Animal Science Institute saw that, they’d be scared to death,"

"Hahaha, if you really took a Leopard to the Animal Science Institute, you’d definitely be the top in the institute."

"Rescuing the Sika Deer is also impressive, the farmer would absolutely be a talent in the Animal Science Institute!"

"He’s good at farming too, look at those Blueberry Seedlings he’s growing, they’re big and healthy, the yield is definitely high!"

The students continued discussing.

Xu Yang returned to the farm with the Sika Deer.

As soon as he returned, he saw a line of ducks quacking as they walked out.

They were about to go out and play again.

They really loved to play.

Seeing Xu Yang, the ducks quacked a few times at him as a greeting,

then waggled their little tails and walked away together.

Xu Yang had initially been worried that the number of ducks would decrease after his return, but since they’d been coming back in the same numbers day after day, he was relieved.

Letting them go out and play also saved some money on feed.

The Treasure Compass had accumulated four more uses; he should go into the mountains tomorrow.

Professional mountain runners would head into the mountains whenever the weather was good, wandering around almost every day, occasionally taking a day off.

Xu Yang didn’t want to be that tired, and doing so was not very efficient.

Going every few days was just about right.

Moreover, Xu Yang could bring a spotted bodyguard with him into the mountains.

He had found the Mountain Rushing experience with the little leopard interesting last time, and planned to bring the little leopard along if possible in the future.

A man and a leopard, racing through the woods.

We were really impressive!
