Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

Su Chen pushed open the door, and a cold wind rushed in.

He walked towards the pet rest area, where Dazhuang was still lying, its more than half-ton body taking up almost half the space.

The snoring was steady, making the ground tremble slightly.

Su Chen squatted down and patted Da Zhuang's head.

Da Zhuang's ears twitched, but he didn't open his eyes.

Su Chen patted it again, this time with a bit more force, while simultaneously activating the system's gentle command.

A warm current seeped from his palm into Dazhuang's scalp.

Da Zhuang twitched his nose twice and finally opened his eyes.

Those eyes were still docile, without any morning grumpiness.

It yawned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and then slowly stood up.

It propped itself up on four legs and rubbed its fur against the ceiling.

Su Chen took a step back, and Da Zhuang moved forward, nuzzling his hand with his head.

The force was still considerable, but Su Chen managed to stay upright and wasn't knocked over.

Black Fang returned from the fence, followed by four wolves.

They were covered in morning dew, and their fur was a little damp.

Hei Feng walked to the entrance of the rest area and looked up at Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang looked down at Hei Feng.

The bear and the wolf stared at each other for three or four seconds. Black Fang wagged its tail, crawled under Big Zhuang's legs, and lay down.

The wolves followed them into the rest area and each found a spot to lie down.

Lingfeng descended from the sky, the wind from his wings sweeping across Dazhuang's back.

Dazhuang glanced back, but ignored him.

Lingfeng landed directly on Dazhuang's back and preened its wings with its beak.

Da Zhuang shook his back, but failed to drive the eagle away.

Su Chen patted Da Zhuang on the back and turned to walk out.

Dazhuang followed, his steps heavy, each one making the ground feel dull.

Hei Feng came out of the rest area and walked to Su Chen's left.

Ling Feng flew off Da Zhuang's back and led the way.

Su Chen's plan was simple: take Da Zhuang on a tour of the ranch so it could become familiar with the territory.

Go east first.

The Lingquan Well is over there; a cover has been added to the wellhead, and the water pipe is buried in the ground along the surface.

Dazhuang stopped as he passed by, and brought his nose close to the manhole cover to smell it.

Su Chen didn't rush it; he waited until it had smelled enough before continuing on his way.

As we passed the main house, Emma was sitting on the living room sofa organizing account books.

She heard the ground shake, looked up through the French windows, and saw Dazhuang walking past the window.

Dazhuang was less than three meters from the window, his massive body blocking out most of the light.

Emma stopped writing, stared at it for a few seconds, and then continued writing down her accounts.

She didn't panic; she simply checked on Dazhuang's condition. The bear was walking steadily, and Su Chen was right beside it.

Upon reaching the livestock pen area, the cattle were grazing on the pasture.

The lead cow, Big Flower, was the first to notice and looked up in Big Zhuang's direction.

Dazhuang was still twenty meters away from the fence when the herd of cattle began to gather together.

It's not panic, it's vigilance.

Su Chen activated the system's soothing command, and energy spread out from his chest cavity.

The cattle quickly dispersed and continued grazing with their heads down.

Dahua even took a few steps toward the fence, sniffed the scent of Dazhuang in the air, and then turned and left.

When Dazhuang passed by the livestock shed, he didn't even turn his head, showing no interest in the cattle.

The Lingquan area is located in the northern part of the eastern part of the ranch.

The water from Lingquan Well is piped here, forming a natural drinking water point.

Dazhuang walked over, lowered his head, and began to drink water.

It drank very slowly, curling its tongue to bring the water into its mouth.

The loyalty rating on the system panel jumped from 82% to 84%.

The spiritual spring water is also beneficial to pet beasts, something Su Chen hadn't anticipated.

The copper mine is located on the south slope.

Juan and Luis have already started working, and the clanging and jingling sounds can be heard.

Su Chen led Da Zhuang over, where Hu An was bending down to pick up ore. Hearing the ground shake, he looked up.

He froze.

The ore I had just picked up fell to the ground.

Louis was squatting next to the ore pile sorting when he saw Da Zhuang. He leaned back so hard he almost fell to the ground.

Su Chen raised his hand to signal the two to stay still, then patted Da Zhuang's head.

"Be gentle, don't be afraid."

Juan swallowed hard but didn't say anything.

Louis put down the ore in his hand and slowly stood up.

Su Chen turned to face Da Zhuang and issued his first work instruction.

He pointed to the loose soil next to the mine and made a digging motion with his hand.

Da Zhuang tilted its head and looked at it, then raised its right front paw and patted the loose soil.

Its claws were thick, but the force of its slap was not heavy, only lifting up the loose soil on the surface.

Su Chen pointed again, and Da Zhuang continued digging, his movements slow, as if he were testing the waters.

After three diggings, the topsoil was cleared away, revealing the complete mineral vein underneath.

Juan's eyes widened.

Louis opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Su Chen picked up a piece of ore from the ground and handed it to Juan.

Juan took the ore, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out his hand to Dazhuang.

Dazhuang lowered his head, brought his nose close to the ore and sniffed it, then gently moved the ore aside with his paw.

It wasn't a refusal, it was an acceptance.

Dazhuang used its paws to gather the ore in front of it, then looked down at it and nudged it with its nose.

Juan turned to look at Luis, who was already taking out his notebook.

Su Chen pointed to the ore pile again, indicating that Da Zhuang should move the ore to the storage point.

Dazhuang lowered his head and used his nose to push the ore forward a bit, then gathered it up with his paws and slowly walked to the stacking point to put it down.

The movements were clumsy but precise, and no ore was spilled on the ground.

Juan tentatively handed over another piece of ore.

This time, Dazhuang didn't hesitate. He took it with his paws and turned around to deliver it to the storage point.

Louis wrote a few lines in his notebook.

Su Chen checked the time and continued walking with Da Zhuang.

The treasure chamber is located in the basement of the main house, with the entrance on the east side of the main house, a heavy metal door.

Dazhuang walked to the door, and Su Chen gave the order to guard him.

Dazhuang stood at the doorway, facing outwards, in a guarded posture.

Its ears were perked up, its nose was twitching constantly, and its eyes were fixed on the direction of the pasture.

Old Jack walked over from the guardhouse.

He had heard that Su Chen had tamed a bear, but he hadn't seen it in person yet.

As they approached, Old Jack stopped and looked Da Zhuang up and down.

He had spent most of his life working on western ranches and had seen many brown bears, but this was the first time he had ever seen one this big.

Da Zhuang glanced at Old Jack, then turned back to continue his vigilance.

Old Jack walked over to Su Chen and whispered, "This bear doesn't look fierce."

"Very docile."

"That's fine then."

Old Jack nodded and turned to go back to the guardhouse.

Emma walked over with her notebook.

She didn't get too close, but stood three meters away, observing Dazhuang's behavior patterns and then taking notes in her notebook.

Su Chen didn't bother her, and Da Zhuang didn't pay any attention to her either.

Su Chen mentally reviewed Da Zhuang's daily routine.

In the morning, we went to the mine site to work with Juan and Luis to extract ore.

We stopped at the Lingquan area for a drink and rest.

Mining operations continued in the afternoon.

After finishing work, guard the area around the treasure chamber.

They sleep in the pet rest area at night.

The wolf pack is responsible for night patrols; Dazhuang does not need to participate.

This route covers several of the most critical areas of the ranch without disturbing the cattle grazing or tourists.

Su Chen turned and walked back, with Da Zhuang following behind.

Black Fang ran over from the fence and followed.

Lingfeng descended from the sky and landed on Dazhuang's back.

One person, one wolf, one eagle, and one bear.

Formation formed.

The setting sun cast long shadows across the four shadows.

Emma stood there, watching the scene unfold, and wrote a sentence in her notebook.

She didn't show it to Su Chen, closed the notebook, and returned to the main house.

Dazhuang followed Su Chen back to the rest area and lay down inside.

The mattress was crushed by it, sinking in a large chunk.

But it quickly found a comfortable position, resting its head on its front paws and closing its eyes.

Su Chen stood at the door for a moment, then turned and left.

Black Fang led his wolf pack on a night patrol, while Ling Feng landed on the roof of the main house.

The ranch's security level was quietly upgraded on this day.

Su Chen returned to his study and glanced at the system panel.

Dazhuang's loyalty is 84%, and it is still slowly rising.

The potential for improving mining efficiency has not yet been fully realized. Once Dazhuang is familiar with the process, production should double.

He turned off the panel and heard Dazhuang snoring coming from the rest area.

This bear was well trained.

......

When Su Chen arrived at the mine, Juan and Louis had just set up their tools.

Dazhuang followed behind, his steps lighter than yesterday, as the ground tremors were less pronounced.

Su Chen had Da Zhuang stand next to the mine and gave the order to dig.

Da Zhuang raised its right front paw and slapped it down onto the loose soil above the vein.

Its claws were thick, and it ripped up a large patch of soil in one go.

What used to take Juan half a day to clear with a shovel, Da Zhuang cleaned up in three strokes.

The exposed area of ​​the mineral vein is three times larger than that created by artificial means.

Su Chen then issued a second instruction.

Tell Dazhuang to control the force so as not to damage the vein itself.

Da Zhuang slowed down his movements, and his claws landed much more gently.

By simply removing the loose soil and gravel, the ore was fully exposed.

Juan was stunned.

Su Chen picked up a piece of ore and handed it to Juan.

"You're in charge of collecting them, and Dazhuang will carry them."
