Chapter 259 - 257: Prize Draw Rewards—Manager, What Crazy Scheme Are You Up To Now?!
Under the haystack, two little foxes are playing around.
At this moment, the mother fox happened to be carrying another little fox back.
The mother fox gave birth to a total of three cubs, two have been growing up at the ranch, but one is quite mysterious, not living in the ranch.
Jiang Feng speculated that the third little fox might not like the ranch, hence it’s always outside.
This puzzled him a bit.
After all, Jiang Feng has Canine Affinity, and foxes are canines.
Logically, the little fox shouldn’t be able to resist his affinity.
The drone is live-streaming the scene under the haystack.
The little foxes are adorably cute, and when touched they giggle in a silly, adorable way.
Everyone’s hearts are about to melt from the cuteness.
Jiang Feng looks towards the mother fox and the newly arrived little fox.
Jiang Feng named the mother fox Da Hong.
The two little foxes living at the ranch are called Black Silk and Beautiful Legs.
The reason is that the fox’s limbs are black, resembling four black stockings.
Of course, Jiang Feng usually doesn’t call them by these names during the stream.
"Da Hong, why did you bring this little one over today?"
"Is it finally opening up?"
Jiang Feng asked with a cheerful grin.
Upon hearing Jiang Feng calling it, the mother fox immediately put the little fox down and showed a dazed and cute smile.
After being put down, the little fox turned and ran outside.
It seems like it’s heading outside.
The netizens were puzzled upon seeing this little fox.
[Why does it run away when it sees people!]
[Aren’t foxes supposed to be fond of humans?]
[Not all foxes are close to humans!]
[Little buddy is running pretty fast!]
Jiang Feng was also curious about this rebellious little fox.
He chased it down and easily caught the little fox.
Jiang Feng lifted the little creature up, and the little fox immediately let out a panicked cry, its mouth opened, and its eyes showed some fear.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng quickly put it down.
The little fox continued to run outside.
"It doesn’t like humans."
"Not all foxes are close to humans—some are more wild and prefer the outdoors."
"It’s similar to how some stray cats never quite adapt, no matter how you try to tame them."
"They will choose freedom in the wild if given the chance."
Jiang Feng remarked as he watched the little fox receding into the distance.
The mother fox paused beside Jiang Feng, also watching the child running off. Jiang Feng petted its head for comfort, then the mother fox followed suit.
[It’s rare to have an animal that doesn’t get close to the farm owner!]
[To be honest, every animal raised by the farm owner seems especially attached to him—this is the first exception!]
[Hahaha, the little fox ran off without looking back!]
[My little fox would rather starve to death outside than eat a bite of your food!]
[Little guy has guts!]
The netizens chatted away.
The scene was quite amusing, and naturally, everyone seized the chance to make fun of Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng, however, was quite composed; instead, he seemed rather pleased.
Jiang Feng spoke:
"If it truly decides to live in the wild, it’s actually good to have a distrust of humans."
"This way it will run from humans when it sees them."
"Even if faced with hunters, it can escape safely."
"The danger is more with those living in the wild being fond of humans, for deceitful human nature could put them in peril."
"Unless it cannot find food or needs humans to help its relatives, they generally won’t get close."
The netizens nodded slightly at Jiang Feng’s words.
Indeed, as Jiang Feng said, it’s better for wild animals to have heightened awareness.
Especially awareness of humans.
Jiang Feng returned to the haystack area, playing around with the two little foxes again.
At this point, he saw a weasel scurrying by carrying a mouse.
The weasel saw Jiang Feng and stood upright for a few seconds to greet him, then hurried off.
The livestream room remained as relaxed as ever.
That night, Jiang Feng relaxed in his room and chose to tally up his popularity value.
It’s late August, and in about twenty days, Jiang Feng accumulated a popularity value of 25 million.
It had been a while since he last had a draw, so he opted for two Top Level Lottery draws and five Advanced Lottery draws.
"Host chooses Top Level Lottery, drawing in progress... "
The familiar sound echoed.
"Congratulations, host has acquired a skill:"
"First Aid Knowledge: A skill for emergency aid in life, including CPR, airway obstruction clearance, and abdominal drainage, potentially life-saving when needed."
The first reward is a skill, and Jiang Feng felt a flash of gold before him, a hint of joy in his expression.
This skill wasn’t bad—even if rarely needed, it’s always good to be prepared for emergencies.
"Congratulations, host has acquired an item:"
"Golden Crotch Armor: Armor crafted from pure gold, suited to protect the host’s crotch area, with soft armor and cotton padding to safeguard sensitive areas."
The second reward was a long-awaited golden item.
Currently, Jiang Feng has obtained a Golden Helmet, a Golden Breastplate, and now a Golden Crotch.
It seems you can gradually gather a complete set.
Of course, you can already wear it as a set, but it might look a bit odd.
Jiang Feng observed the Golden Crotch Armor’s design; it resembled boxers, but golden and shining.
He didn’t plan on wearing it, just stored it in the system.
At this moment, the rewards of the Advanced Lottery arrived as promised.
"The host has chosen the Advanced Lottery, drawing now..."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"
"Giant Pumpkin Seed*5: A seed that can grow huge pumpkins, requires careful nurturing."
"Backup Power Supply*1: Large backup power supply."
"Shoushan Stone Seal*1: A seal carved from Shoushan Stone, already engraved with the host’s name."
"Customized Large Fireworks*1: A huge firework that will light up the night sky."
"Snake Venom Antiserum*1: Special serum that can counteract snake venom."
Jiang Feng looked at these rewards; they were all quite impressive.
Firstly, pumpkin seeds are usually planted in spring and fall, spring planting in February or March; fall planting in July or August.
It’s currently August, just fitting for planting pumpkins.
However, autumn on the prairie is very cold, and if planted outdoors, pumpkins won’t grow big at all.
Jiang Feng also had the expertise of a planting specialist and had knowledge about how to grow pumpkins.
"This seed is quite special, let’s just find a large pot in the yard to plant them and carefully cultivate."
"Let’s see how big the pumpkins can get!"
Jiang Feng thought to himself.
The backup power supply and Shoushan Stone carving are also useful.
The power supply is to prevent power outages; the seal can be a small ornament too, since Shoushan Stone is also known as the national stone, and good Shoushan carvings are rare to see.
As for the fireworks, they’ll be kept for now as fireworks are prohibited in the grassland areas.
They can only be set off at special times with permission from government departments and at specific locations.
Otherwise, if seen by others, you’d be arrested for disturbing public order.
Keeping the snake venom antiserum is also good, since there are snakes, including venomous snakes in the prairie, it can prevent accidents.
Obtaining so many rewards from the lottery put Jiang Feng in a very good mood.
He got up to check on the cats and dogs in the living room, went to the toilet, then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Jiang Feng made a trip to Xilinhot City specially to buy several large flower pots.
Though called flower pots, they looked more like tanks.
These pots were used for planting potted plants.
After returning to the ranch, Jiang Feng started a live stream.
He drove to a location near the dung storage area, placed the pots on the ground, and began shoveling soil.
After shoveling the soil, he specifically picked fertile soil to put in the pots.
Seeing this scene, some netizens confusedly asked:
[What’s happening? Why is the ranch owner playing with poop?]
[Haha, clearly preparing to plant flowers, God, playing with poop!]
[Mushroom Boy is finished, now playing Poop Boy, right!]
[Xiaohai, not enough effort!]
After shoveling the soil, Jiang Feng specifically picked the fertile soil below to put in the pots.
The more fertile the soil, the better the crops grow.
Following that, he will judge based on the seedlings’ situation, determine what’s lacking, and then supplement.
Jiang Feng spoke:
"Today, I’m preparing some soil, and then plant some pumpkins."
"Planting pumpkins is relatively simple, just choose the right land, dig a hole and bury the seeds."
"About a week or so, the seeds will germinate and sprout."
"Then use pointed tree branches to insert around the new sprout, convenient for the pumpkin to climb, aiding growth. Generally, farmers just put pumpkins on the ground and leave them be. My pumpkin is quite special, so needs good cultivation."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, netizens suddenly understood.
It turns out he’s planting pumpkins.
Many netizens who’ve planted before were amazed.
Typically pumpkins are directly planted in the ground, like Jiang Feng using such large pots for planting, it’s extremely rare.
[Do you need pots to plant pumpkins?]
[What is the ranch owner doing now again!]
[You know what, the ranch owner’s vegetables are particularly good-looking, much better than those bought in the market, he’s really an expert in this area!]
[Can you plant a pumpkin carriage too?]
Barrage instantly poured in.
Jiang Feng didn’t care about the barrage anymore but filled the three pots with soil and put it into the car.
The soil-filled large pots were very heavy, Jiang Feng drove a pickup truck with a rear compartment, which was relatively high.
Jiang Feng called Niu Erhu to help, only then did they put the three pots on the truck.
Everyone felt puzzled about Jiang Feng’s actions.
However, they didn’t pay further attention but just thought of it as Jiang Feng doing ordinary farm work.
Little did they know, this time with pumpkins, the situation was similar to last time with the giant white radish.
Moreover, there are giant pumpkins in the market now, adults can’t even hug one from the side, each weighing three to four hundred pounds, impossible to lift.
Jiang Feng was silently working on a big endeavor.
Once back in the yard, Jiang Feng called someone to help place the pots in the yard’s corner.
The little animals curiously watched on.
"Typical pumpkins mature in 30 days."
"I estimate mine will need 50 days."
"We’ll see then, the results will definitely exceed your expectations."
Jiang Feng looked at the empty pots and said meaningfully.
Hearing his words, netizens couldn’t help but feel curious.
Afterward, Jiang Feng went back to the room to wash his hands.
Shortly after he left, Cat Boss appeared on the yard wall and jumped down.
It looked at the large pots, with a confused expression.
Then it jumped up, inspected the soil inside, scratched with its front paw a few times, then squatted down and used the pot as a toilet.
This unexpected scene made netizens burst into laughter again.
