American Landowners: Starting with Hunting in Alaska

The old Dodge pickup truck left two tracks in the snow and stopped in front of the cabin.

Su Wei turned off the engine, pulled out the car key, and the noise stopped abruptly, leaving only the rustling sound of wind and snow blowing through the car window.

He pushed open the car door, and a cold wind carrying the scent of wood rushed into his lungs.

Cotton Candy in the passenger seat couldn't wait any longer. Before Su Wei could speak, she turned into a white shadow and darted out from beside his feet, heading straight for the door of the wooden house, anxiously scratching at the heavy wooden door with her paws.

Su Wei got out of the car and chuckled as she pinched the back of Cotton Candy's neck.

Cotton Candy let out a howl, its fluffy tail sweeping across Suwei's arm.

He patted the marshmallow's head, then took the key out of his pocket and unlocked it.

The moment his hand gripped the doorknob and pushed open the door, a wave of warmth enveloped him.

[Life Module LV2 is now active...]

[Eliminate fatigue: Physical stamina recovery speed increased by 15%, mental fatigue elimination speed increased by 15%...]

Almost immediately, the fatigue from running around from morning till night, as well as the aches and pains from not getting enough rest last night, were greatly relieved.

This is the feeling of home.

This is also the power of the module.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

The marshmallow spun around his legs, its little head rubbing against his trouser leg, and its tail wagging rapidly.

Now it doesn't look like a little fox anymore, but more like a puppy.

A clear emotion was transmitted to Suwei's mind through the beast language effect of the beast taming module.

hungry.

I'm very hungry.

I was so hungry I wanted to gnaw on the table leg.

Su Wei's lips curled slightly as he kicked off his snow-soaked boots and casually draped his wet clothes over the rack by the door.

"I know, your belly is so precious."

That makes sense, except for the meal I had this morning.

I haven't eaten anything since.

He went into the kitchen and took a steak from the freezer.

Under the eager gaze of the cotton candy, Suwei cut the beef into small pieces, blanched it in hot water without adding any seasoning to remove the blood and fishy smell.

The aroma of meat instantly filled the air.

Cotton Candy was practically drooling, circling around Suwei's feet and making little whimpering noises.

Suvi placed the warm pieces of meat into its special food bowl.

"Eat up, you little glutton."

The cotton candy immediately buried its head in its food, its small body trembling slightly from chewing so hard, the smacking sounds clearly audible in the quiet wooden house.

Seeing its satisfied expression, Suwei himself felt hungry.

He boiled a kettle of water, intending to make himself a packet of instant pasta to eat casually, while also thinking about how to deal with that old fox, Jack.

He had to raise the price; with a debt of 160,000, every extra penny brought him one step closer to his goal.

The water hasn't boiled yet.

"Beep beep—! Beep—!"

Outside, a piercing horn blared, shattering the tranquility.

I'll be there when you say so.

Old Jack has arrived.

Su Wei put down the kettle, his appetite temporarily suppressed.

He walked to the door and had just put his hand on the doorknob when he heard the sound of the car door slamming shut and hurried footsteps coming from outside.

The next second, the door was banged on loudly.

Suvila opened the door.

A short, stout figure stood at the door; it was Old Jack.

He was wearing an ill-fitting, heavy coat and a deerstalker hat, his face red from the cold wind, and he was panting heavily.

He drove up in a black Ford Raptor pickup truck and parked it next to Suwei's Dodge.

The massive body of the car was imposing, and the headlights were still on.

"Hey kid! Where's the stuff?!"

When Old Jack saw Suwei, he immediately launched into a tirade, his eyes gleaming with undisguised greed, as he tried to squeeze into the house.

Su Wei didn't move, blocking the doorway with his body.

"What's the rush, Jack?"

He looked at the other person calmly.

Old Jack's anger flared even more after being cornered like that, but the thought of the legendary Devil's Claw forced him to suppress it.

He rubbed his hands together, anxiously spinning halfway around in place.

"How can I not be anxious?! Do you know what you said on the phone? Devil's Claw! Wild one! Kid, if this thing is real, your debts for this month will be saved! Take me to see it now!"

His spittle almost landed on Suwei's face.

Suwei stepped aside to make way for him, but did not lead him into the warm living room.

"Come with me."

He put his boots back on and walked toward the garage next to the cabin.

Old Jack paused for a moment, looking at Su Wei's retreating figure, then at Cotton Candy who was engrossed in eating rice and the warm fireplace inside the house, and muttered a dissatisfied remark.

"You stingy person..."

But he immediately jogged after him, his feet sinking deep into the snow.

The garage was filled with clutter.

Suvila turned on the incandescent light in the garage, and the dim yellow light shone down, illuminating a metal cabinet in the corner.

A heavy padlock hung on the cabinet.

Old Jack's gaze was instantly fixed on the cabinet, and his breathing became heavy.

Su Wei calmly took out his key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock.

"Click".

The crisp sound of the lock being unlocked echoed in the quiet garage.

Old Jack could no longer hold back. He shoved Su Wei aside and flung open the metal cabinet door himself!

As the cabinet door opened, a rich and unique aroma wafted out, a blend of earthy and medicinal fragrance.

Old Jack froze completely.

On the shelves of the metal cabinet, there were not the one or two medicinal herbs wrapped in cloth that he had imagined.

It's a whole bunch!

It was a huge, tangled mass of roots and stems, which looked a lot like ginseng and almost filled the entire compartment!

These rhizomes are yellowish-brown with a rough outer skin.

Most importantly, their roots are very well-developed, each one thick and strong, with different shapes, some like coiled dragons, some like eagle claws grasping, full of primal vitality.

Under the dim light, these stacked devil's claws exude a unique allure.

Old Jack couldn't help but swallow hard. He reached out, his hand trembling as he tried to touch it, but stopped in mid-air, afraid that it was all an illusion.

He turned around abruptly, staring intently at Su Wei, his old face, red from the cold, now filled with shock.

He originally thought that Su Wei was lucky to find a Devil's Claw plant of decent age, which was already considered a stroke of good fortune.

But what is this in front of me?

This is a small mountain built with money!

"You...you call this...a plant?!"

Old Jack's voice trembled as he pointed to the large pile of ginseng in the cabinet, then to Suwei, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Su Wei leaned against the tool rack next to him, arms crossed, calmly watching him.

"I didn't say it was one plant."

"You never fucking said it was from the same litter!"

Old Jack finally roared, rushing to Suwei and grabbing his shoulders, shaking him violently.

"Kid! Tell me honestly! Did you destroy the devil's lair?!"

Suwei grew impatient with his shaking and easily broke free from Old Jack's hands.

Old Jack nearly fell over because he used too much force.

He steadied himself by holding onto the side shelf.

But his gaze remained fixed on Su Wei, as if he wanted to confirm that it was all true.

Of course, there was also the unimaginable shock in his heart.

He thought he was just a lucky kid, a hapless fellow who was heavily in debt.

just now!

They actually dug up a whole bunch of devil's claws!!

He was breathing heavily, forcing himself to calm down. Greed eventually overwhelmed his shock, turning into a burning excitement.

He walked quickly back to the metal cabinet, carefully picked up a very thick one, and brought it to his nose to take a deep breath.

The pure medicinal fragrance made his whole body tremble with pleasure.

That's right!

It's definitely the right age! Top condition!

We're going to strike it rich this time!

Old Jack put down the Devil's Claw, turned around, and forced a greasy smile onto his face, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant demeanor.

"Suvi... my good child..."

He rubbed his hands together and approached Suwei step by step.

"Name your price, I want all of these... all these treasures!"
