Chapter 34: A-Qiang, are you serious?!

Ansheng had suffered from wild boars in his previous life as well.

And the wild boars living in major cities even knew how to use public transportation. At dawn, they would often take the subway to snatch breakfast from the early commuters.

Ansheng had been gored by wild boars in both Jinling and the Harbor District.

But back then, wild boars were still classified as nationally protected Class II wildlife. Besides, Ansheng could hardly shoulder two of them back to a hotel and braise them in full view of the public. All he could do was endure it.

Now, however, Ansheng wore the title of a National Class II Protected Animal. His status had soared straight to the heavens!

A Class II protected animal facing an unprotected wild boar.

It was an overwhelming advantage in every respect!

How could a wild boar possibly understand the combat power of a Class II protected animal?

All Ansheng wanted now was to ram them aside and let those accursed boars experience the crushing acceleration of a fox-powered vehicle.

……

After settling the two dogs, Old Chen brought along some tools, got into his car, and drove toward the foot of Uphill Mountain.

“Lord Lucky Fox… it’s already getting late. Why don’t we come back tomorrow morning?”

As he looked at the road climbing Uphill Mountain and imagined the wild boars in Lean Dog Ravine, Old Chen, who was carrying an iron fork and a machete, felt increasingly uneasy.

With his old bones, even armed, he probably could not withstand the charge of a four-hundred-pound boar.

“Yip, yip, yip!”

Ansheng turned around. Seeing Old Chen’s timid expression, the fox gave him a stern look and barked a sharp retort.

You do not have to wrestle the pigs. Just take me there when the time comes.

And if that really does not work…

Ansheng seemed to think of something. His little fox face took on an expression that said, “Honestly, what am I going to do with you?”

“Ah? Lord Lucky Fox, what is that look for?” Old Chen stared at him in bewilderment.

What happened next left Old Chen completely dumbfounded.

When they reached the descending road, Lord Lucky Fox vanished into some patch of grass. A moment later, he emerged carrying a fully loaded Mauser C96 machine pistol in his mouth.

Old Chen’s eyes bulged. He stood gaping, then asked with trembling caution:

“Lord Lucky Fox… did you used to make your fortune in the northern underworld?”

First, there had been the fox who took a speedboat from the direction of Taiwan and entered the river mouth directly, returning to Long Creek Town.

Now he had even produced a Mauser pistol, and it was fully loaded at that.

If someone told Chen Fengshui that Lord Lucky Fox of Long Creek Town had once run with gangsters and even orchestrated several gang vendettas, Old Chen would have believed every word.

After all… there were guns and smuggling involved.

If Lord Lucky Fox had not been in the underworld, where could he possibly have obtained such things?

“Yip…”

Ansheng’s face was covered in dark lines. He waved a paw, signaling Old Chen to keep his mouth shut if he had nothing sensible to say.

What do you mean, “used to run with gangsters in Northern Xia”?

I have never done any of those things. Stop making up nonsense and pinning those labels on me.

I am merely a little fox who eats for free and grows fat.

[The wish to smuggle successfully has been fulfilled. The young man from Long Creek Town who smuggled himself into central America by dancing with his hands fired an RPG into the vehicle of an enemy gang boss and successfully passed his graduate-school entrance examination. Deep in his heart, he sighed that RPGs really packed a punch. He also gave thanks to Mazu and Lord Lucky Fox for their blessings, without which he could never have passed the examination in a foreign land…]

[Faith power +1]

“?”

“For crying out loud…”

As Ansheng climbed the mountain road toward Lean Dog Ravine, a new wish-fulfillment notification suddenly flashed in his mind. He opened it, and nearly tumbled down the mountainside in shock.

Ansheng naturally remembered the young man from Long Creek Town who danced with his hands. His wish had been so outrageous that it had left a lasting impression.

Ansheng had assumed the young man was merely boasting when he said he dreamed of smuggling himself into America to grow vegetables.

He had never expected the fellow to actually make it there—and at six in the morning in America, fire an RPG that sent a moving car soaring into the sky.

“I…”

When Ansheng saw the notification, his fox seemed to go limp. He could not have imagined that the young man would be so terrifying, much less that he would be so grateful to Ansheng for blessing him and helping him pass the examination.

I have never even been abroad. Do not lie to me! Since when does passing a graduate-school entrance examination require an RPG?

Please sell the RPG, buy a ROG gaming laptop, and study properly in your dormitory while playing Battlefield, all right?

You call that passing the examination?

You joined a gang, you idiot!

“Lord Lucky Fox… what’s wrong?”

When Old Chen saw Lord Lucky Fox sway, the little fox’s expression changing dramatically, he assumed something had happened. He immediately became vigilant, scanning the surrounding shrubs and tea trees.

“Yip…”

Ansheng let out a listless whimper and waved a paw, signaling Old Chen not to worry. Then he continued toward Lean Dog Ravine.

If Old Chen ever learned that such an outstanding young man had emerged from his own village, his expression would probably turn into a full-blown light show.

The age of poking gang bosses with a dragon-headed staff had ended. With the passage of time, the dragon-headed staff had evolved into a rocket launcher.

Do not thank me! I did nothing!

……

After forty minutes, Ansheng and Old Chen reached the middle of the descending road and gazed out over Lean Dog Ravine.

A man and a fox sat on the steps, staring at the ravine in silence.

Then, from the woods on the opposite side of the stream, a noticeable rustling suddenly arose.

A small wild boar with stripes along its back and an especially endearing, foolish appearance emerged from the forest. It lowered its head and began drinking from the stream.

Soon, eight or nine more piglets came scampering out of the woods into the ravine, squealing and playing among themselves.

Then a wild boar more than two meters long, its entire body black, emerged from the forest.

A second enormous black boar followed close behind.

“Hiss…”

The sight of the wild boars emerging from the forest made Old Chen’s heart jolt. He realized at once that the situation was far worse than they had thought.

The wild boars that had entered Lean Dog Ravine were not a single sow, as the villagers had previously seen, but an entire herd!

“Crash, crash…”

Before Old Chen had even finished panicking or calculated how much damage the boars would inflict on the tea fields, another transformation took place in the forest.

The vegetation along the stream was exceptionally dense. Yet now, the small trees began collapsing one after another. It was as though some gigantic creature were forcing its way out of the woods.

“Woo…”

The piglets, which had been frolicking moments earlier, heard the disturbance and whimpered. They hurried behind their mother, clearing the water’s edge.

“Whoosh…”

A gigantic wild boar stepped out of the forest. Its back was covered in black bristles like steel wire, its tusks curved like scimitars beneath a full moon, and its face was thickly furred, giving it the appearance of a mammoth. A tuft of blue hair sprouted from the top of its head.

Even with the stream and several hundred meters between them, Old Chen and Ansheng could sense the boar’s immense size.

Judging by appearances, Ansheng felt that the male boar’s body was nearly as long as a king cobra.

Excluding the tail, its body measured more than four meters.

Ansheng looked at Old Chen and slowly formed a question mark with his paw.

Brother, what kind of growth hormones do the tea trees here in Lean Dog Ravine get on a regular basis?

These cursed boars ate the tea and mutated into mammoths.

I thought the radiation technology I had used in my previous life to improve tea trees was already outrageous enough—practically a backyard operation.

Who would have thought that the Great Tea Mountain would be even more aggressive with its ingredients?

The boars ate the tea and grew into mammoths.

“This…”

Old Chen was trembling with fear. Even the Mauser pistol in his hand could not give him the slightest sense of security.

The boar’s skeleton had to be strong enough to support a body weighing more than a thousand pounds. Against such a gigantic animal, not only might a Mauser pistol be useless—even a low-powered rifle might not kill it after several shots.

Once that monstrous boar began its charge, it could probably overturn even a small delivery truck.

Anyone brushed by it would be left black and blue, with bruises scattered across all four corners of the world.

“We need to call the authorities… We must call the authorities and have the public-security bureau send out special police!” Old Chen stammered. He reached for his phone, intending to take a photograph and report the situation.

“Yip!”

Ansheng’s expression grew solemn. He raised a paw and pressed it against Old Chen’s arm, signaling him to stop playing with his phone and step aside.

After emerging from the forest, the monstrous boar did not drink. Instead, it stared coldly toward the middle of the descending road.

That gaze…

Ansheng had seen it before on a king cobra.

It was the gaze of something assessing an intruder—a warning issued in preparation for a sudden attack.

The monstrous boar had spotted him!

There was no way they could finish eating it… absolutely no way. Even the enormous iron pot used to stew ordinary pigs could not contain this one.
