Chapter 53 -53: The Super Huge Flat Top Ganoderma!

The live stream started.

Xu Yang carried a backpack, held two bags of mountain goods in his left hand, and a stick in his right hand as he made his way out.

The way back was more tiring since he had many more items.

Fortunately, they didn’t return the same way. Xu Yang checked the map, found the nearest mountain path, and crossed the mountain forest toward it.

[You’ve gathered so much, I’m envious!]

[Mainly those black truffles are valuable. Red Ganoderma can also fetch a good price.]

[He worked so hard deep in the mountains. Earning more is well-deserved!]

[I thought all mountain rushers were old men. I didn’t expect the host to be so young and so impressive!]

[He’s also handsome. It would be unthinkable for him not to be popular!]

The viewers in the live stream continuously left comments, creating a very heated atmosphere.

Xu Yang didn’t pay attention to the live stream. He just kept walking on the mountain path.

Since they had ventured deep into the mountain, the path was truly difficult to navigate.

Generally speaking, even those who like to climb wild mountains would plan their routes in advance.

You wouldn’t enter without even knowing the path.

If you encounter a cliff, you’d have to go back the way you came, which takes a lot of energy.

Xu Yang’s mountain rushing took place in uninhabited forests with no paths, relying entirely on physical skill.

He continued to walk down the steep slope, which was almost at a 60-degree angle, feeling as if he could slide down at any moment.

Fortunately, the soil on the ground was soft, which offered a stable foothold.

“It’s easy to climb up a mountain, but descending, especially wild mountains like this one, is hard.”

“Many places have a significant vertical drop. If you fall, you might not be able to stop.”

Taking the opportunity to catch his breath, Xu Yang momentarily rested and spoke to the viewers.

He continued to make his way down bit by bit.

At some points, the drop was so severe that he had to throw his belongings down first and then jump down.

Watching this, everyone admired him.

Ordinarily, no one rushes mountains this way.

Mountain runners usually go to places that are easy to access.

At this moment, Xu Yang noticed a large patch of flat top Ganoderma on a tree, the biggest one as big as a washbasin.

Before, while mountain rushing, Xu Yang and the viewers had learned that flat top Ganoderma was very common, found everywhere, and often decades old with nobody wanting them.

This type of Lingzhi wasn’t valuable at all; its biggest use was being made into mosquito coils for burning to repel mosquitoes.

While Lingzhi like Red Ganoderma had medicinal uses and was valuable, flat top Ganoderma was unwanted.

The same root, different fates.

“Look at that, a huge flat top Ganoderma. It’s the largest I’ve ever seen.”

“Around here, this kind of Lingzhi is everywhere. If there wasn’t much to gather, I might just break off a few and use them to fuel the stove at home.”

“This stuff isn’t valuable, but it’s quite good for decorations.”

Xu Yang put down his backpack, agilely climbed up the tree, grabbed the largest flat top Ganoderma, and snapped it off.

Once he had it in hand, the viewers could truly see how big the Lingzhi was.

It was twice as big as a head.

The surface had concentric rings, similar to tree rings, each representing a year.

In the forest, such flat top Ganoderma were quite common, to the point of being ignored.

“So big.”

“It would look good hanging up at home.”

“Such a large one is really rare.”

Xu Yang was content.

He already had plenty of items, but rare and bizarre things were not easy to come by, so he had to take it.

The way down the mountain was somewhat perilous.

At this moment, a viewer suggested:

[Aren’t you skilled in Qinggong? Just fly down!]

[Right, while saying, “I don’t know any martial arts,” you just jumped down from three meters high steps.]

[You could also do what Pleasant Goat and his friends do, just slide down the mountain on a leaf placed under your butt!]

[I feel like tumbling down would be faster!]

[Feels like the host has a lot of supplies. If it were a Battle Royale game, I’d love to ambush such a fat sheep hiding in the bushes!]

Glancing at the barrage of comments, Xu Yang saw everyone’s “advice” and smiled helplessly:

“Thank you all.”

“I’m fine rushing the mountain this way.”

“Almost down now.”

Below was a mountain path.

The mountain road generally has a cliff on one side and a rather steep mountain slope on the other.

Xu Yang was climbing down from the mountain.

The slope was very high; at times, he felt that a slight lean back could allow him to sit on the mountain.

Fortunately, he reached the road successfully and without incident at the end.

His clothes and pants had already been rubbed ragged by the grass and soil.

He looked somewhat disheveled.

But Xu Yang’s spirit was high, his expression calm, and his good skin only enhanced his charm.

He resembled a stray tabby cat from the wilderness—homeless yet striking in both appearance and demeanor.

Xu Yang made a call to the village’s illegal taxi driver.

He didn’t know his exact location, but he could send a GPS position.

After sending his location, Xu Yang sat down by the roadside to rest.

“Tired, I must have walked for about five or six hours,”

Xu Yang said, adjusting his breathing and leaning against his backpack.

Hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room was particularly impressed.

Indeed, as he said, the journey had been challenging, and Xu Yang had barely rested while carrying both large and small bags.

Many sent him gifts again.

“Probably no broadcast tomorrow. I’ll rest first, and look at the situation in the next few days,”

“The mountains are richest in good items during these one or two months. When the temperature drops, there won’t be as many mountain goods, so I’ll have to come back in,”

Xu Yang added.

He just chatted casually like that with the netizens in the live room.

About fifteen minutes later, the illegal taxi driver arrived by car.

Xu Yang announced, “My ride is here, I’m signing off now, bye.”

With that, Xu Yang controlled the drone to descend and turned off the live broadcast.

“You’ve got quite a lot of stuff!”

The illegal taxi driver, Old Wang, noticed Xu Yang’s numerous items and was amazed.

“There’s a lot of good stuff this season. I went deep into the mountains and found quite a bit,”

Xu Yang replied politely.

In his bag were Red Ganoderma, black truffles, and ginseng which he had kept hidden in his backpack, not easily revealing them.

Xu Yang placed his items on the back seat and settled in as well.

Old Wang drove him back to the farm.

“You’re really brave to go deep into the mountain alone,”

“Which village would go into the mountains without at least three or four people?”

“And you’re not even afraid of bears,”

Old Wang, being an illegal taxi driver, was naturally a chatterbox. As long as someone was in the car, he was never at a loss for words.

That’s just how it was around here.

“There are no bears; I’ve never seen one,”

Xu Yang continued with intermittent casual chat.

He had indeed never seen a bear.

Changbai Mountain had many, but they were deep in the mountains.

The last bear sighting was in neighbor Inner Mongolia, where a bear entered a herdsman’s house to steal food, and a few policemen went to drive it away only to end up being chased around by the bear.

“There are indeed many dangers in the mountains,”

“Er Mazi from the neighboring village, didn’t he accidentally break his leg? If he hadn’t been with others, he wouldn’t have made it back,”

“And Wu Erguo, scratched by a lynx, had to go to the hospital for stitches and spend money on a rabies vaccine,”

Old Wang went on and on.

The technology in the mountain village might be backward, but their information system was incredibly advanced; good or bad news traveled far and wide.

Conversely, in big cities, there’s more of a sense of “why should someone else’s business bother me?”

Xu Yang leaned more toward the city style, not particularly concerned with others’ business, but he didn’t mind listening to stories either.

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the farm.

Li Shan knew Xu Yang was returning and was already waiting at the farm gate.

When the car stopped, he helped unload the items.

Xu Yang felt a great relief.

Little Black ran about his feet, happily bouncing and jumping.

He checked the time; it was already half-past two in the afternoon.

“There’s still time, I’ll head to the mountain goods market this afternoon,”

Xu Yang planned to take a shower, grab some food, and then go to the mountain goods market to sell Red Ganoderma and black truffles.

After two days of work, it was time to reap the rewards.
