Chapter 54 -54: Buy a Bodyguard for the Farm!

Mountain goods market.

Xu Yang found a spot to lay out his goods, and it wasn’t long before people started to come over and look.

The bags mainly contained Red Ganoderma and mushrooms, along with several large chunks of Black Truffles.

The mountain goods market was as bustling as ever, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

The market itself looked quite old, giving off a vibe reminiscent of the 1990s. The mountain runners selling the goods mostly wore old-style camouflage clothing, and many of the mountain goods they displayed were still covered with dirt.

At the stall next to Xu Yang, a customer was picking out mushrooms.

The old man running the stall cheerfully said, “Look at this basket. I’ve already sorted these mushrooms. They’re all clean. I haven’t had the chance to sort that side yet.”

The customer looked towards the other basket and saw the mushrooms were neatly arranged and particularly fresh, so he picked out a few.

Business here was relatively conscientious, with prices that weren’t expensive and no instances of rigged scales.

After all, many people cared about their face, and if you wanted to get by in the mountain goods market, you certainly couldn’t afford to be looked down upon.

Xu Yang patiently waited, with Little Black by his side.

His business was doing very well.

Especially the Red Ganoderma, which were practically snapped up as soon as they were put on display.

He had picked quite a lot of Red Ganoderma, two big bags worth, selling for a total of four to five thousand yuan.

The Black Truffles sold more slowly.

That stuff was expensive. Xu Yang sold it at the market price, which most people couldn’t afford.

But society never lacked wealthy individuals. As long as the goods were desirable, they were sure to sell.

So by the evening, the several large pieces of Black Truffles had also been sold.

The Black Truffles fetched more than eight thousand yuan.

It was yet another day with earnings breaking ten thousand.

And that was him still holding onto a ginseng he hadn’t sold.

He planned to sell it privately at a pharmacy, preferring to keep a low profile since now everyone in the village knew he was live streaming, and they were bound to see what he had gathered.

Living in a village, it was quite terrifying to be the target of envy.

For example, there was once a family that made money by raising fish, only for someone to poison their pond, leading to all the fish dying overnight.

There was also a family whose thermal film in their vegetable plot was secretly slit open many times in the night, killing all the seedlings by morning.

Such examples existed.

Therefore, it was important to put good protection measures in place.

Xu Yang planned to enhance the security of the farm. Ideally, he would get a guard dog that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to approach casually.

He looked down at Little Black, who looked back at him with a dazed cuteness.

Little Black was handsome, with glossy black fur and white patches on his chest and paws. He was quite an attractive dog.

But his temperament was too mild, and he was naïvely joyful, not fitting the category of a hunting dog.

Rather, he preferred making friends and was now playing with a fox every day.

The farm really needed to raise more animals.

Having sold all his goods, Xu Yang got on his three-wheeler and rattled his way back to the farm.

In the evening, Xu Yang lay on the Kang, comfortably leaning against the cushion, calculating his earnings of the past couple of days.

Including the ginseng, he’d made almost 30,000 yuan.

Yet another hefty income.

At the moment, the farm was just getting started and still in the stage of investment, unable to generate much profit.

He had many things he wanted to do, and he needed to earn more money.

For instance, he wanted to rebuild the living area and properly decorate a courtyard for himself, which would cost at least two hundred thousand.

Money was still not enough.

Xu Yang then opened the live streaming app’s administrative backend to check the live stream’s earnings.

The total amount of gifts over two days had reached more than 50,000 yuan. Even if he could only take half, that was still over twenty thousand yuan.

“The earnings from live streaming are so high,” Xu Yang exclaimed.

In fact, it was normal. He had been streaming from morning to evening, and there were a lot of viewers in his live stream room, with some wealthy viewers occasionally giving large gifts. It all added up to 50,000 gradually.

Next, Xu Yang checked the system earnings.

In two days, the Total popularity value had reached 110,000.

Mainly because he streamed for such long hours, over ten hours each day.

Popularity value can be calculated by [number of viewers * average viewing duration], or by [streaming duration * average number of viewers per hour].

The result is the same.

Streaming live for ten hours a day, with an average of 5,000 viewers per hour, that’s 50,000 popularity value in a day.

“110,000 now.”

“System, let’s have one Advanced Lottery and one Ordinary Lottery.”

Xu Yang immediately chose to draw.

[Host has selected Ordinary Lottery, drawing in progress…]

[You have obtained an Ordinary Reward:]

[Canon R6 SLR Camera Set: A high-performance SLR camera, complete with lenses and body.]

The Ordinary Lottery yielded a camera, Xu Yang wasn’t particularly interested in photography, but getting something for nothing felt pretty good.

After all, the camera market is fairly stable, and if he urgently needed money in the future, he could sell the camera second-hand for cash.

[Host has selected Advanced Lottery, drawing in progress…]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Special Level Reward:]

[Passive Skill: Danger Perception.]

[Description: Enhances the host’s ability to perceive danger. When targeted by wild carnivores, poisonous snakes, or venemous insects, the body will issue a warning and quickly identify the location.]

The Advanced Lottery actually drew a Special Level Reward, and it was a skill.

Generally speaking, there’s a chance to draw a higher level reward in the lottery, Xu Yang had calculated that the odds were roughly around 10%.

The advantage of the Advanced Lottery is the chance to draw a Special Level Reward.

“It’s actually a skill for sensing danger.”

“This skill is quite good for me going into the mountains!”

“The forest is so vast; I’m not afraid of anything except the Northeast Tigers and venomous snakes.”

“The Northeast Tiger has no weaknesses, excellent vision, and being targeted by one could definitely be dangerous.”

“Venomous snakes are well hidden, and one could be bitten if not careful.”

“Moreover, I’m familiar with Changbai Mountain, so if I go to other places for Mountain Rushing in the future, this skill will keep me safer.”

“Not bad at all.”

Xu Yang thought to himself.

Having finished the lottery, he received a SLR camera and a skill for perceiving danger, both of which were quite nice.

Then, Xu Yang went to sleep deeply.

The next day, Xu Yang woke up rather late, not getting out of bed until after nine in the morning.

Li Shan had already started busy working.

There was quite a lot to do inside the greenhouse, like watering the Blueberry Seedlings and occasionally checking the temperature inside the shed.

If the sun was too strong, they would cover it with a shade cloth.

“Brother Yang, there are sugar cakes and Guokui in the kitchen, I bought them this morning and saved some for you.”

Seeing Xu Yang come out, Li Shan hurriedly said.

“Okay, I’m a bit hungry.”

Xu Yang went to the kitchen, opened the plastic bag, and took a couple of bites of the sugar cake.

While eating, he walked out to check on the livestock.

The pigs in the pen huddled together, plump and white. Now that the weather was hot, the ground in the pigpen needed to be washed daily, partly to cool down and partly to ensure cleanliness.

The yards for the chickens, ducks, and geese had all been cleaned.

The little ones were all very healthy.

Which was quite rare.

Generally, the mortality rate for chickens is high; sometimes when you go out to the yard the next day, you might see one or two chickens lying on the ground, dead without apparent reason.

If it rains, quite a few more would die.

If ordinary people kept three hundred chickens free-range in a yard, it’d be pretty good if two hundred survived to grow up.

If fewer were raised, the survival rate might be higher.

Only with proper care can the chickens survive.

Xu Yang made rounds in the chicken, duck, and goose sheds, and upon seeing him, the chickens and geese avoided him, gathering in a group, while the ducks all moved towards him, seemingly eager to swim.

Seeing these little guys healthy made Xu Yang a lot more relaxed.

There wasn’t much work on the farm today.

Xu Yang planned to take a walk outside and buy a bodyguard.

Xu Yang also considered having the Leopard guard his farm, which would certainly be impressive, but he could only consider it; as a first-level protected animal, he wasn’t allowed to keep it unless it approached him on its own.

Xiao Hua was currently under the care of the female leopard, and even if she wanted to come over, she had to wait until she was one year old, which would be around autumn later in the year.

So, Xu Yang rode his electric tricycle, speeding along towards the town.
