I Quit My Job to Live in the Mountains: I Contracted a Northeast Tiger from the Start

[Mountain running and foraging + adorable animal companions + tycoon who lies flat + no violence, no livestreaming]

Drained by the grueling 996 work schedule in the big city, Lu Yao quit without hesitation and returned to his hometown to lease a barren mountain. All he wanted was a laid-back life growing trees, keeping dogs, drinking tea, and reading the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, he awakened the “Mountain God Mark.” Not only could he understand the voices of all living things, he could also form unlimited contracts with the mountain’s wild animals and help them evolve without limit!

From then on, Lu Yao’s leisurely life became blissfully easy.

Other people exhausted themselves running through the mountains. Lu Yao did it while animals showered him with gifts!

Treasure-hunting monkey under contract: “Master, come quick! There’s an 800-year-old wild ginseng plant growing by the cliff!”

Pangolin under contract: “Master, I dug up a box of gold bars from a former dynasty 200 meters underground. Here, take them!”

Northeast tiger under contract: “Master, hold on tight! Anyone who dares mess with you in this primeval forest, I’ll bite them!”

At first, everyone thought Lu Yao was a fool with money to burn for leasing a barren mountain.

Until one day, poachers entered the mountains and watched in despair as Lu Yao rode an ancient white tiger the size of an elephant, with every beast in the mountains bowing behind him!

Top tycoons from every corner of the world waved their cash and begged for a single spirit herb, but Lu Yao could only sigh:

“I really just want to lie flat. But my animal employees are so capable that they’ve gone and fed me into becoming the world’s richest man!”
