Chapter 954 The Strange Beast White Tiger
"Boom—Buzz—"

Wang Junjun is driving a combine harvester to dig potatoes in a potato field.

This machine has been modified by Shijia, and it can dig potatoes while also turning over the soil and crushing potato seedlings, with extremely high efficiency.

Everyone watched in disbelief as half an acre of potatoes was dug up in about 10 minutes.

"Boss, the grain bin is full," Wang Junjun called out, and Lou Ming immediately ordered the waiting trucks to unload the goods. To ensure fairness and impartiality, space-type ability users were not allowed to participate in the weighing of the potatoes.

Soon, a truckload of huge, plump potatoes appeared in front of everyone.

"These potatoes look delicious." Everyone was eager to try them, wishing they could cook them right away and taste them.

"Ahem, everyone, let's weigh the potatoes first. After we've weighed them, we'll roast a few more to try, starting with my Lou family's share." Lou Ming wasn't stingy with these potatoes; if his estimate was correct, the yield would be at least ten thousand jin.

In that case, the Lou family would receive 8,000 jin of land from the eight mu of land.

"Okay, you're generous, kid." Hearing this, the crowd stopped surrounding the truck.

The truck slowly drove onto the weighbridge. After the recorder recorded the numbers, the truck loaded the potatoes onto the weighbridge. The truck then drove onto the weighbridge again, and by subtracting the weight of the truck from the weight of the potatoes, the weight of the potatoes was determined.

"5132 pounds!"

"Wow, so many!"

"Old Hao, do your potato cultivation base also have this yield?" someone asked Hao Ren.

Hao Ren was a little annoyed by this, but still said, "Hmph, how can they compare to Xia Xia?"

"That's true. If the crop yields at the cultivation base could also reach this standard, our Yanzhong base would have been able to ensure that everyone has enough to eat and wear long ago."

Hao Ren's face immediately darkened, and he was about to lash out when Lou Ming picked out more than twenty potatoes and put them aside. "Fire-type ability users, come and roast these potatoes."

Everyone immediately rushed up excitedly.

Soon, the aroma of potatoes filled the air.

The members of the hunting team who were collecting the carcasses of the alien beasts couldn't help but stop what they were doing and instinctively moved toward the source of their thoughts.

Shi Jia, who had been sitting on the carcass of the strange beast sheep with her eyes closed, opened them. However, she did not look at the group of people roasting potatoes, but instead looked at the dense forest.

A snow-white beast was slowly approaching.

The beast was the size of a truck, pure white without a speck of dirt, and its aura was deep yet peaceful, completely different from the frenzied beasts from before.

Shi Jia blinked but didn't move. "A mutant beast?"

"Everyone be on alert! There's a powerful monster!" Someone noticed it too, and the group who had been roasting potatoes quickly dropped their potatoes and rushed outside the potato field to block the monster's path.

This beast's aura is at least at the seventh level!

The men's legs trembled, but their grip on their weapons tightened even more. Were they going to perish here today?

At this moment, everyone saw the true appearance of the strange beast, which turned out to be a white tiger.

"Humans, what's behind you?" The towering white tiger's gaze swept over the crowd, landing on the potato field, its eyes filled with longing. Its voice was icy, carrying an unbearable pressure.

Shi Jia realized something and asked, "Were you attracted here by these things?"

The white tiger tilted its head to look at Shi Jia, its eyes filled with doubt. How come she seemed unaffected? It sniffed, "Hmm, the smell here is very pleasant and comforting. You smell nice too."

It felt very welcoming, but along with that welcoming feeling came an innate sense of oppression, causing it to unconsciously soften its expression.

Oh, well, it's really hard to tell what expression was on that tiger's face.

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding the reason for the beast tide, and said, "The potatoes here were all grown by me."

"Did you grow these?" White Tiger thought for a moment. "What would I offer in exchange for these potatoes?"

Shi Jia shook his head, "These potatoes have already been reserved and cannot be exchanged with you." The white tiger was displeased. As long as it swallowed these potatoes, it could clear the violent energy in its body and potentially advance to the eighth rank.

"I can exchange a seventh-tier wood-type beast core with you," the white tiger said, and a crystal core that was flashing with green light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. "They're quite easy to talk to." "Although I can't trade potatoes with you, I've stored some vegetables, which you should like."

Shi Jia waved his hand, and a dozen or so vegetables floated in front of the white tiger.

The white tiger's nose twitched. Hmm, it smelled the same, even more vibrant than before. It opened its mouth and gently inhaled, sucking the dozen or so vegetables into its mouth.

So comfortable~~
After a while, Baihu looked at Shijia again, "Not enough!"

Shi Jia nodded. "I know, but I'm very busy right now. If you want to make a deal with me, please wait until I'm done. If not, consider the vegetables I just gave you as a small gift."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the green-glowing crystal flew towards the white tiger.

Baihu quickly raised his hand, and the crystal flew back to Shi Jia.

"I can wait."

"Thank you for understanding." Shi Jia nodded to it, then said to the nervous crowd, "Alright, everyone go about your business. The white tiger won't attack you, so please don't worry."

Everyone was stunned; they had never seen anyone talk to someone of the opposite sex so calmly and on equal footing.

Although this is a sentient, supernatural beast, it is still a beast after all. Despite its intelligence, it is still untamed and wild.

Moreover, this is a seventh-tier beast. Whether human or beast, the strong are always arrogant.

How did Yuanmu Natsu manage to remain so calm? And why was Baihu so kind to her?
Filled with great doubt, everyone cautiously returned to their posts and continued their work. But their mindset was clearly different now. Even those roasting potatoes didn't seem to smell as good as before.

However, the combine harvester was still very fast. Two hours later, it harvested eight acres of potatoes, and 80,000 kilograms of potatoes filled the spaces of two spatial ability users, as well as three trucks.

Lou Ming transferred the money to Shi Jia, and everyone left, turning back several times, including Yuan Lei. The latter refused to leave and was forcibly driven away by Shi Jia.

With no one else around, Shi Jia walked up to Bai Hu.

“I can make a deal with you, but in addition to paying for a seventh-order wood-type crystal core, you also need to protect my vegetable garden for at least two years. During these two years, I will not provide food and lodging, but I will give you 10,000 catties of vegetables every month.”

It's estimated that every vegetable harvest will trigger a beast tide. With this seventh-tier beast in charge, it will at least deter other beasts.

Upon hearing that there would be 10,000 catties of vegetables every month, Baihu nodded without hesitation, "Okay! I agree!"

Shi Jia took out paper and pen from his spatial storage, wrote down the contents of the contract, communicated the rules of this world, and quickly completed the contract.

Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this world didn't impose many restrictions on her, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to guarantee that the White Tiger would abide by the contract.

"Quick, where are my vegetables?" White Tiger said impatiently.

Without hesitation, Shi Jia calculated the equivalent value of vegetables based on the price of seventh-order wood-type crystal cores and took out about 20,000 jin of vegetables from the warehouse in the planting space.

There's no doubt that the vegetables the white tiger ate before came from the planting space.

These vegetables, without the weight of potatoes, are piled up into a small mountain, looking quite spectacular.

The white tiger felt the rich energy above and was very satisfied. It opened its big mouth and sucked the vegetables into it.

"belch--"

Baihu stretched comfortably, squinted at Shi Jia, and said, "I'm sleepy and I'm going to take a nap."

“Okay, you can go to the mountain two kilometers away. I remember there’s a spacious cave there,” Shi Jia said. Before the harvest, it didn’t matter whether the White Tiger was there or not.

"Aww~ I'm leaving," the white tiger stood up, shook its body, and turned to walk towards the cave. The white tiger walked slowly, but each step covered at least a hundred meters.

Shi Jia watched the tiger leave, then she turned and left as well.
