Name: Hunting in the Mountains: The Vast Mountain Range Is My Golden Pasture
Author: Cangyun Army

Synopsis

[Mountain foraging - mushrooms - pets - tycoon] Adapted from the book Modern Mountain Foraging!

Mu Qingshan is a veterinarian. After witnessing a Rottweiler maul a little girl, he intervenes and beats the dog to death. As a result, he is attacked online by extreme dog lovers, some of whom even show up at the veterinary clinic where he works to cause trouble. Forced to quit, Mu Qingshan returns to his hometown in the mountains.

On a trip into the mountains to gather mushrooms, he unexpectedly acquires a mountain-foraging sign-in System. As long as he checks in while out in the mountains, he can receive all kinds of rewards.

On the very first day, he gains the ability to befriend animals. From then on, all the animals in the mountains become his friends.

He rescues an injured jackal and earns the help of its pack. Every time he goes into the mountains, the jackals escort him.

Whether it's matsutake, lion's mane mushrooms, or termite mushrooms, the uninhabited depths of the mountains feel like his own backyard.

A hundred-year-old ginseng earns him his first fortune, which he uses to lease a mountain and raise chickens and rabbits.

He starts a company exporting matsutake and builds a mushroom-growing base.

He also has a whole host of animal friends in the mountains: a white fox that grins outside his window at midnight, a troop of monkeys that helps him gather kidney essence tea, and a magnificent tiger waiting for him to deliver her cubs… This blurb doesn't do the story justice, so please go read the novel itself.
