"Sister-in-law, if you think returning home to farm is unambitious, I'll prove you wrong."

Although he had over a couple hundred thousand in his pocket, it was from gambling winnings, not something to brag about.

Ling Zhenfei decided to keep this money a secret from his sister-in-law for now. After some quick thinking, he came up with a good way to make money.

The idea struck Ling Zhenfei while he was eating at a restaurant in town, noticing several city businessmen driving down to dine on farm-fresh food and wild game.

The farm food project was already in progress, but the crops needed time to mature.

As for wild game, there was plenty in the mountains behind the village. Why not hunt some game to sell in the city and show his sister-in-law that he wasn't useless?

The mountain behind the village was vast and continuous, reportedly connecting to a primeval forest. The national border of Huaxia Country wasn't far either.

The forest was dense with wildlife. The village

used to have hunters who made a living from hunting, but with better living conditions, no one wanted to risk their lives going into the woods anymore.

Ling Zhenfei, a native mountain boy, knew the mountain well and that wild boar were the most common animal.

City folks had grown tired of farmed pork and the demand for wild boar meat was high.

The wild boar dish Ling Zhenfei had at the restaurant earlier, just a few bites, sold for over a hundred and was in high demand.

If a small town restaurant could sell wild boar meat at such high prices, imagine the demand in the city!

Yes, he would hunt wild boar!

Having decided on this money-making venture, Ling Zhenfei was ecstatic. He immediately started running outside.

"Hey, Zhenfei, where are you going? Why are you leaving just after getting back?"

Zhou Yun was about to persuade her brother-in-law to look for a job again, but Ling Zhenfei darted off quickly, leaving her calling after him.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going out to catch some pheasants to sell in the city!"

Ling Zhenfei was already fixated on hunting wild boar and ignored Zhou Yun's advice.

Still, he didn't dare tell Zhou Yun about his real plan, as it would only worry her.

As he spoke, Ling Zhenfei sprinted out of the house, leaving Zhou Yun shaking her head in disbelief.

Hunters used to catch wild boar by setting traps and ambushing them from trees with hunting rifles. Nowadays, people just set up electric nets, making even the toughest wild boar helpless.

However, without an electric net and with strict national gun laws, Ling Zhenfei had no hunting rifle.

After some thought, he bought a three-pronged farmer's pitchfork from the hardware store and attached it to a wooden pole, making a durable long pike.

He also bought tools for traps, including ropes and bait, then borrowed a three-wheeler from his friend Li Ermeng, and drove into the mountains.

The mountains behind the village were steep and dangerous, not for the faint-hearted, but with his current strength, Ling Zhenfei moved as if on flat ground.

It was afternoon, and while the sun blazed outside, the forest was cool and shaded, with fresh air and pleasant weather.

Ling Zhenfei had followed village hunters into the mountains as a child, so he knew where wild boar commonly appeared.

Thus, upon entering the mountain, Ling Zhenfei headed straight for wild boar trails.

Setting up traps and bait, Ling Zhenfei was quickly drenched in sweat.

He wanted to sit and rest but recalled that wild boar could appear anytime, so he climbed a tree with his long pike, waiting for one to take the bait.

The bait he used were two live ducks, whose quacking was the best lure in the quiet forest, hard for any nearby wild boar to resist.

Ling Zhenfei's predictions were spot-on. Within half an hour of his ambush, he heard rustling from the nearby bushes.

Snorts! Snorts...

Accompanied by the boar's snorts, the air was suddenly filled with a menacing aura.

The wild boar was coming!

Seeing this, Ling Zhenfei knew a hungry wild boar, unable to resist the bait, was approaching!

He held his breath, pressing closely against the tree trunk, gripping his long pike tightly.

Though strong enough to handle any beast, wild boars were fierce, even feared by tigers.

Ling Zhenfei, lacking experience in boar hunting, remained cautious.

Whoosh!

As he waited, a black shadow darted out of the bushes towards the bait.

Seeing the massive creature in his line of sight, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but shiver.

Sure enough, a massive male wild boar!

It resembled a domestic pig but was much larger, with dark, rough bristles standing stiff like steel needles.

The boar's pointed ears were smaller and closer to its head; its snout was long and sharp, with a smaller head and belly, thin, high legs, a straight back, and a shorter tail.

Its most distinguishing feature from domestic pigs was its two sharp tusks, capable of shredding any threat.

Despite the boar's ferocity, with Ling Zhenfei's strength, killing it was easy.

However, the baited trap was set for this beast, so there was no rush.

Whoosh!

Just as the boar neared the bait, a strong gust of wind swept through.

Roar!

A black shadow suddenly leaped out from the side, attacking the boar.

Ah!

Ling Zhenfei, expecting the boar to fall into the trap, was startled by the sudden development.

Looking closely, he saw the attacker was a huge South China Tiger, and couldn't believe his eyes.

The tiger, ready to pounce, seemed to have been lying in wait, yet Ling Zhenfei hadn't noticed it!

This realization made his heart race even faster, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

After the tiger leaped out, it didn't immediately attack the boar, but stared it down fiercely.

Ling Zhenfei thought the boar's first reaction to facing the tiger, the king of beasts, would be to flee.
