Chapter 7 The Stingy Two-Legged Beast
Chapter 7 The Stingy Two-Legged Beast
When they arrived at the courtyard of the ecological observation station...
Lin Ye had changed into a neat outdoor windbreaker and was wearing a pair of tactical boots with a little mud on them.
Mounting horses to herd sheep.
The first thing to do is to get on the horse.
He gripped the reins and mane with one hand, held the saddle with the other, and precisely stepped into the stirrup with his left foot.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye's core strength exploded, his waist exerted force, and his right leg drew an extremely clean and powerful arc in the air, steadily stepping over the horse's back.
His entire mounting motion was fluid and graceful, without the slightest hesitation. Coupled with his upright posture and rugged face tanned healthy by the high-altitude sun, he was simply so handsome that it was impossible to look away.
This time, the drone rewarded by the system intelligently created a low-altitude close-up shot of a circling motion.
This never happened before, and now they're suddenly doing this.
This dashing scene was directly transmitted to the live stream in 4K high-definition quality.
The comments section, which was originally discussing the snow leopard's condition, suddenly went astray due to this sudden surge of hormones.
"Holy crap! That mounting move was so cool! It's like something out of a movie!"
"Husband! You're not riding a horse, you're riding my heart!"
"That core strength, those long legs... drooling..."
"Brother Lin, is the ranch looking for a female boss? The kind who's college-educated, can live off a man, and can even warm his bed!"
"Let go of that streamer, let me have him! I want to ride horses with Brother Lin and share in the splendor of life!"
As the screen filled with comments gradually changing color, Lin Ye gripped the reins, revealing a bright white smile, and teased:
"Ladies, please have some self-respect. This streamer sells her art, not her body. This vast grassland may look romantic, but it's not a place where you can just be romantic anywhere."
Immediately, some seasoned viewers, always eager for drama, jumped into the live chat.
"What are you afraid of! The grasslands are great, the sky is our blanket and the ground is our bed. Why don't you pick a fan and we all go to the grasslands for some paintball, camping, and fun?"
"I second that! The romance in nature is so exciting!"
Upon seeing the words "playing in the wild," Lin Ye not only wasn't embarrassed, but burst out laughing.
He shook his head, his face bearing the look of someone who had "knows nothing about nature."
"Absolutely not, take my advice, it's absolutely not allowed. Having sex in the grass? That's just asking for trouble or being incredibly reckless."
As Lin Ye slowly guided his horse toward the flock of sheep, he unleashed his deadly sarcasm.
"First of all, you think this meadow is full of herbs and flowers? Wrong! It's full of horseflies the size of fingernails, mosquitoes that can suck your blood dry, and ticks that burrow into your flesh. If you dare to lie down on the grass and expose your skin, I guarantee that within ten minutes, you'll be covered in bites like a toad."
"Secondly, look at all that's covering the hillsides! It's my sheep and the cattle of the surrounding herders. Every three steps there's a pile of fresh cow dung, and every five steps there's a ball of fermenting sheep dung. I don't know if rolling down there is romantic or not, but the smell is definitely very strong and intoxicating."
The viewers in the live stream were instantly disillusioned by Lin Ye's utterly clueless and clueless remarks. The fans who had just been filled with romantic fantasies were now shattered, and the chat was flooded with "yue" emojis.
However, Lin Ye's onslaught was not over yet.
He turned around with a sly grin, pointed in the direction of the observation post, and said in a low voice, as if telling a horror story:
"Do you know what the most crucial thing is?"
"Don't forget, our observation post is still home to a Snow Mountain King who has just lost his 'worldly desires.' He's currently in a period of heightened physical and psychological sensitivity, and his jealousy is extremely intense! If you're having fun on the grass right under his nose, what if he sees you...?"
Lin Ye gasped, pausing deliberately:
"When it saw this, it thought, 'Good heavens, my balls are all gone! How dare you flaunt them in front of me?' It pounced on me and gave me a natural, unanesthetized 'physical ball-ripping'... The image was too beautiful for me to even imagine."
The live stream room fell into a deathly silence, which then erupted.
["Hahahaha! What the hell is physics all about! Are you a devil, streamer?!"]
["What was originally a rather ambiguous topic has been turned into a horror movie and comedy by you!"]
"Men were speechless, women wept! The men suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, completely abandoning any thoughts of outdoor fun."
["Grandpa Snow Leopard: You got caught in the rain, so you're going to tear up other people's umbrellas too, huh?"]
Amidst cheerful banter, Lin Ye herded the sheep out of the enclosure and headed towards the distant meadow.
"Speaking of this snow leopard, since it's decided to stay here and live off us, it needs a name, right? Calling it 'Eunuch Leopard' all the time doesn't sound good. After all, it's a Class I protected animal; it needs a resounding and powerful name. Let's brainstorm some ideas?"
Lin Ye brought up a topic.
"Call him Baymax! He's so cute!"
"Let's call her Factory Director. After all, she's the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Depot, ruling the harem."
"How about calling it 'Worry-Free'? Without eggs, one feels light and carefree."
All sorts of strange and unusual names came up one after another, but Lin Ye was not satisfied with any of them after looking at them all.
Just then, a comment caught his attention.
"How about 'Lonely and Proud'? The King of the Snow Mountains is naturally aloof and proud. Even when he is banished to the mortal realm, he still maintains that solitude and pride. It sounds very much like the demeanor of a great hero!"
Lin Ye's eyes lit up:
"This is great! 'Solitary and aloof' sounds imposing, giving off a sense of a reclusive sage. It also perfectly matches its 'King of the Snow Mountains' character. Let's confirm..."
Before Lin Ye could even utter the words "It's confirmed," the netizen who had suggested the name slowly added another comment.
"That does fit quite well. After all, 'The Lonely Testicles' is short for 'Lonely and Aloof.'"
This line of text appeared.
Lin Ye's smile froze instantly.
As he rode on horseback, he felt a gust of cold wind.
I was completely bewildered in the wind.
"A lonely...testicle?"
Lin Ye's lips twitched violently. "I take back what I just said. You netizens have truly filthy hearts! What the hell is this 'lonely testicles'?! I've already wiped them clean, so how can they be lonely? They clearly don't even have the chance to be lonely anymore!"
The live stream was flooded with "hahahaha" again, with everyone celebrating this amazing meme.
Meanwhile, in a side room of the observation post a few kilometers away, a snow leopard that was grooming itself suddenly felt a chill on its lower body for no reason and let out a huge sneeze.
It looked around blankly, feeling as if a deep malice was enveloping it.
His aloof, deep blue eyes were half-closed, and he was muttering curses in his mind:
"Where did that two-legged creature go? I've already digested all the meat I just ate! Come back and give me some more food!"
Just as it was complaining to itself, the door to the side room creaked open a crack.
Two female students who remained at the observation post were tiptoeing and peering inside with starry eyes.
They were also holding two pieces of beef jerky that they had saved from their own food rations.
Even though I breathed on it last time!
But they persevered!
After Xiaoxue touched it, she became eager to touch the big one!
That's the charm of the snow leopard.
"Wow, it looks so cute lying down, like a big, fat orange cat..." a short-haired girl whispered excitedly.
Upon hearing the commotion, Gu Gao's ears perked up, his eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and he subconsciously prepared to let out a terrifying "hiss-ha" sound.
It is the king of the snow mountain, and no one can get close to it except for that two-legged beast that can make mutton soup!
However, when its keen nose caught the aroma of the beef jerky in the hands of the two female students, the panting sound that was already at the tip of its throat was swallowed back down.
"There's meat? Never mind, even a mosquito's leg is still meat. I'll just have something to fill my stomach first."
To the astonishment of the two female students, the enormous beast not only didn't become angry, but instead skillfully wiggled its plump body on the mat, deliberately exposing more of its furry white belly. It even let out a soft, delicate "meow~".
"Oh my god! It's being affectionate with us! It lets us touch its belly!" The two female students were so excited they almost fainted. They cautiously approached and offered the two pieces of beef jerky, each the size of a fingernail, to Gu Gao's mouth.
The aloof creature stuck out its barbed tongue and smacked off the beef jerky with a smack.
I chewed it twice.
That's all?
Gu Gao blinked his big eyes, looking at the two female students' empty hands.
"That's all?! Not even enough to fill my teeth! You're trying to fob me off like a beggar!"
The king of the snow mountain, who was just rolling over and acting cute a second ago, suddenly changed his expression.
It rolled its eyes in utter disgust, then abruptly turned over, its rear end facing the two female students. No matter how they tried to tease it with a cat toy, it remained completely unresponsive, like an emotionless statue.
"Tch, stingy two-legged female. We'll have to wait for that tall guy to come back; only his big iron basin will have the real delicacies."
He snorted arrogantly to himself.
......
Soon.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Lin Ye led his flock of sheep to a basin with relatively lush pastures.
He dismounted and found a clean rock to sit on.
"Alright, guys, let's get down to business."
With a slight thought, Lin Ye caused the drone in the sky to immediately climb higher and switch to a wide-area overhead scanning mode.
Yesterday, the system rewarded us with 500 kilograms of genetically modified, top-grade alpine ryegrass seeds, which are extremely valuable agricultural resources.
To expand and strengthen a ranch and improve the quality of sheep meat, it is essential to have the highest quality feed.
The drone's footage was transmitted back to Lin Ye's phone screen.
Under the high-definition lens, the vegetation of the entire pasture is clearly visible. Where the grass is lush, where the soil is barren, and where degradation has occurred are all clearly marked.
Lin Ye scrolled across the screen, and finally, his gaze settled on a large slope on the east side of the basin.
The hillside was vast, but the grass had turned a mottled, withered yellow, and in many places the brown soil was exposed.
Clearly, after years of overgrazing, the pasture's ability to recover has reached its limit.
"This is it."
Lin Ye pointed to the screen and said, "This pasture is almost completely grazed, and the soil has started to compact and degrade. If left unchecked, it will turn into sandy land next year. I plan to do a deep tilling here and plant those 500 catties of alpine ryegrass. This will not only improve the soil but also allow us to accumulate a batch of top-quality winter hay before winter."
Having made up his mind, Lin Ye didn't hesitate.
He took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.
In the harsh conditions of Northwest China, he couldn't possibly finish planting all the crops by himself with just a shovel, even if he did it until next year. He would need modern steel behemoths.
