My Super Farming System

C10 – Mission

Lin Luqin playfully punched Zhao Yuegu in the chest, closing the distance between them significantly. As dusk settled in, Lin Luqin was drenched and fishless, while Zhao Xueman had managed to catch two fish, both bearing the unmistakable bite marks of Big Yellow. “This dog is incredible,” Lin Luqin exclaimed in admiration. Zhao Yuegu affectionately patted the dog’s head, “That’s nothing. Big Yellow can even catch rabbits in the woods.”

He casually lifted the bamboo basket, revealing more than a dozen fish of various sizes. “Wow! When did you set this up? You caught so many!” Lin Luqin’s excitement was palpable, mirrored by the cameraman’s look of astonishment. The fishing was meant to give Lin Luqin a taste of mountain life, where not catching any fish was the norm. The crew had even considered staging a catch for her, to capture the thrill of the catch on camera. But seeing Zhao Yuegu’s haul, they scrapped that idea. After all, a good catch is a good catch, and Zhao Yuegu’s charm was sure to reel in plenty of viewers.

In the live stream, fans were sending a flurry of comments. “666, Mr. Watermelon’s fishing skills are unbeatable.” “Luqin needs to take notes!” “I thought Mr. Watermelon was just good at growing watermelons.” “Those fish are huge, a couple of them could feed several people!”

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuegu released all the smaller fish from the basket back into the stream. “Why let them go?” Lin Luqin asked, puzzled. “If we catch all the small fish, there won’t be any left in this stream eventually,” Zhao Yuegu explained, a sentiment well understood by the mountain folk. They would only resort to eating these small fish in dire circumstances.

Lin Luqin gazed into Zhao Yuegu’s eyes, her own reflecting a hint of distraction. “People from outside the mountains don’t understand this. In their greed, they pollute the rivers and drive species to extinction…” She trailed off, her voice a mere murmur. Despite her celebrity status, she knew better than to voice these concerns too loudly.

Corporations that wreak havoc on the environment and expect the public to foot the bill don’t care about the consequences!

Her advocacy for environmental protection led to her being completely blacklisted by powerful financial interests.

Had they adopted the development methods from beyond the mountains, this place would have been uninhabitable, and Walden Village would have ceased to exist.

The villagers here hold a deep reverence for nature and the land they live on.

Zhao Yuegu has always upheld this tradition.

Indeed, any villager would do the same.

Suddenly, Big Yellow began furiously barking into the thick woods.

“Woof!”

“Woof!”

“Woof!”

“There’s a wild animal!”

Instinctively, Zhao Yuegu pulled Xueman close and shielded Lin Luqin behind him.

“Everyone, stay close. Don’t wander off.”

A rustling noise emerged from the dense foliage.

Big Yellow’s barking grew more intense, and Lin Luqin clutched Zhao Yuegu’s clothing tightly.

The camera crew armed themselves with sticks and pointed their lenses toward the commotion.

Before long, a wild boar with sharp tusks and a hulking, dark figure lumbered out of the woods and made its way to the opposite bank of the creek.

“That’s quite large.”

Lin Luqin gasped, covering her mouth.

The wild boar was as tall as half a person, its size beyond comprehension.

Zhao Yuegu quickly covered Big Yellow’s mouth.

“Don’t provoke it!”New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

“It’s just here to drink. Let’s back away slowly.”

Big Yellow quieted down, sensing the gravity of the situation.

The group retreated at a measured pace.

They knew they were no match for the boar.

Even the most experienced hunters in the village wouldn’t dare confront it without a group of four or five.

The beast was enormous, its hide caked with thick mud, impervious to ordinary weapons!

They soon retreated to a safe distance, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thankfully, we weren’t its target,” Zhao Yuegu remarked.

“Could it come into the village?” Lin Luqin asked, concern in her voice.

“It’s wary of humans too. It won’t dare to come near the village unless it has no other choice,” Zhao Yuegu explained.

The mountain’s wild creatures possess a keen sense of awareness.

They’ve learned through the years what can be stirred and what must be left alone.

That village is human territory.

Ordinary wild beasts wouldn’t dare to provoke them, knowing that the likely outcome would be to be captured and devoured!

“This forest is just too frightening.”

Lin Luqin’s face flushed with fear, having never faced such a situation in her life.

Just then, Zhao Yuegu spotted a wild boar that had finished drinking water. Instead of leaving, it wobbled towards a vegetable patch.

Zhao Yuegu’s expression soured instantly!

He recalled the wild boar tracks in his watermelon patch, the damage to his precious crop.

Chances were, this was the same culprit.

Now, it was eyeing the village’s vegetable field for destruction.

Zhao Yuegu was determined to stop it!

Ding! A special mission is triggered. Host, please drive away the wild boar and safeguard the vegetable field. Upon successful completion, a special reward commensurate with your performance awaits.

Zhao Yuegu’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

A special reward!

It had been ages since he’d activated a special mission from the farming system!

Ordinary farming might yield some money, but a special reward could bestow unique abilities.

Zhao Yuegu had once gained the power of foresight.

Its primary use was to predict the weather, accurately forecasting wind or rain for the coming two days—far more reliable than any weather report!

For a farmer, such a skill was nothing short of miraculous!

He couldn’t help but wonder what special ability he might gain this time.

Zhao Yuegu dashed home and retrieved a family heirloom crossbow, hidden away for ages yet still functional.

After carefully wrapping the oil paper, he strung and adjusted the crossbow, securing it and a dozen bolts to his waist.

He also tucked a dagger at his side, grasped a short spear, and draped himself in a piece of animal hide.

Dressed thus, he was the very image of a hunter.

The animal hide wasn’t for show; it offered substantial protection in combat with wild beasts, much like the ancient armors crafted from such materials.

A quality leather armor could rival even that of iron!

Naturally, the crafting process was far more intricate.

The animal hide passed down to Zhao Yuegu, though somewhat warm, was a small price to pay for the protection it afforded.

Lin Luqin’s eyes widened in astonishment at Zhao Yuegu’s getup.

“What are you planning to do?”

“I’m going to take down that wild boar.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Zhao Yuegu seized the short spear and bolted for the vegetable patch!
