The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 100: Snow Mountain Farm

All seven illegal miners who went up the mountain were caught, and all the animals rescued from the fur farm have already been released back into the wild.

As night deepened, Xu Ying bid farewell to the little animals on the Snow Mountain.

She, Qi Xiao, and Qin Yan carried the food rewards prepared for the animals up the mountain together.

The snow leopards and snow wolves ate meat. Qi Xiao ran a ranch, so he arranged for a ranch driver to deliver meat, ensuring they never ran out of it.

The wild boars are omnivores, eating both meat and fruits, and tubers. Xu Ying prepared apples for them.

The wild boars sniffed the basket of apples brought up, then used their long tusks to topple it over and began munching noisily on the apples that rolled to the ground.

This time, Xu Ying helped nearly a thousand animals escape the clutches of the fur farm, and the system rewarded her based on the types of animals rescued. She received a total of seven Beast Language Skill exchanges, worth seventy points.

Xu Ying also understood that the larger the scale of the rescue or the higher the urgency, the more system points she would receive.

Combined with two Beast Language Skills she hadn’t exchanged for earlier, she went to West Mountain and decisively exchanged for Weasel Speak, Piggy Speak, and Wolf Speak, allowing seamless communication.

She heard the wild boars squeal excitedly.

[This is too good—taking a stroll and squealing a bit gets us such fresh fruit to eat!]

[The texture of this fruit is really nice~ It’s practically a celestial fruit!]

[You all are such good people~ No wonder the country sent you to protect the ecosystem.]

[Station Chief, if you have any matters in the future that need us on the Snow Mountain, just howl to find our companions. We’ll be ready to assist you immediately!]

[Hehe, if you could bring more delicious fruits like this, it’d be even better~]

Xu Ying widened her eyes, looking at the apple in her hand: "Just this? That’s it?"

The wild boars all nodded in unison, still chewing apples in their mouths.

So easy to sustain! Not picky at all!

As someone who grew up eating apples, Xu Ying felt indifferent towards apples.

Unexpectedly, this most common fruit turned out to be a "celestial fruit" in the eyes of the Snow Mountain wild boars.

Wild apple trees on West Mountain usually grow at altitudes of one to two thousand meters, so at the high mountain meadow belts and sub-ice belts near three thousand meters, apple trees are not seen.

Xizhou Province is known for producing apples—big and sweet ones, and there are many orchards at the foot of West Mountain.

With these apples costing five units per kilogram, it’s a very cost-effective way to "offer apples to command wild boar lords," commanding the combat-effective wild boars.

Watching the big and small creatures enjoying their midnight snack so contentedly, Xu Ying realized it was time to say goodbye too. She waved to the animals: "Thank you all~ I’m leaving, goodbye everyone~"

During the four days of stationing on the mountain, Xu Ying lived in a tent, but it wasn’t cold.

Because the snow wolves and snow leopards and Snow Cleaning Weasels wrapped their furry bodies around her to warm her bed, it was really cozy.

However, sleeping in a tent wasn’t as comfortable as sleeping in a dormitory, and the howling wind against the tent was disruptive to sleep.

Tonight, she would go with Ji Xuehui to the West Mountain Police Station dormitory to rest.

Upon hearing that Xu Ying was leaving, the Snow Cleaning Weasels lay at her feet, nibbling at her pants, reluctant for her to go.

They raised their little heads and asked: [Sister, that beast said that every time you find a snow lotus, you get a commission. Is that true?]

"It’s true." Xu Ying said with a smile, "All the credit goes to you little animals. If you want anything, just tell me~"

The Snow Cleaning Weasels shook their heads hastily: [No need, no need! Us little animals have the entire West Mountain, and with a reliable friend like Station Chief sister, we’re already very blessed~]

Xu Ying laughed at their words, almost forgetting that these "Snow Whites" are indeed the true princesses of the Snow Mountain!

[In the future, we and our friends will specially keep an eye out for where snow lotuses grow for you!]

[Right, and don’t you humans also plant vegetables? Can you plant snow lotuses?]

Xu Ying thought for a moment: "There are cultivated snow lotuses, but their medicinal effect isn’t as good as wild ones. Probably due to environmental growth impacts."

The Snow Cleaning Weasels got all excited hearing this: [Then we animals can help you plant and take care of snow lotus saplings on the mountain, can’t we? It’d mean more snow lotuses, right?]

[But you’ll need to teach us; we don’t know how to plant!]

Xu Ying thought this was like hiring the animals to work for her, and they lacked for nothing, so she didn’t know how to pay them! "Uh? Really? Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you all?"

[Not at all, not at all, with all of us animals lending a hand, it’ll be resolved easily~]

Xu Ying scratched her head: "But I don’t know how to repay you. Is there anything you want?"

[We just want Station Chief sister to get rich and have a good life, prosperous and happy~]

In the animals’ eyes, Station Chief sister was really pitiful, living in such a barren desert, hot by day, cold by night, with sand everywhere, and no fresh "meat and vegetables" to eat.

Furthermore, they heard from Station Chief sister that settling down for humans costs a lot of money, and many have to work hard for many years to have their own little homes, living frugally, working from day to night, which is too tragic.

For them, choosing a place to settle was just a matter of digging a little with their paws, sometimes even "taking over abandoned homes" in other animals’ burrows directly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The animals rescued by Xu Ying really worried about her not living well in the desert, trying every way to "lift her out of poverty."

The words of the Snow Cleaning Weasels struck a chord in Xu Ying’s softest spot. She was stunned for a moment, her mouth opening but unsure what to say, deeply touched by how these furry creatures truly considered her family.

[Station Chief, if you really feel guilty, just donate more food to the manager who feeds us, or better yet, visit us often~]

The Snow Cleaning Weasels actually wanted to say that if only the Station Chief could transfer to their West Mountain to work in animal rescue, it’d be great.

But knowing the desert’s harshness, and with more poachers lurking versus the towering Snow Mountain, the desert’s little animals also needed the Station Chief’s help, so they held back from mentioning it.

Xu Ying touched the "Snow Whites" on their heads: "Alright, everyone joyful and prosperous together."

"But coming from a veterinary background, I’m not familiar with planting snow lotuses, so I need to contact Professor Ye and related experts to discuss teaching you to plant West Mountain snow lotuses."

The little ones nodded eagerly: [Okay, okay!]

After Xu Ying left, the Snow Cleaning Weasels cheered excitedly: [Great! If she teaches us to plant snow lotuses, Station Chief sister will visit again~]

Yes, though they appear to be large fierce beasts, they love to listen to Xu Ying’s bedtime stories as they fall asleep, their hearts still like fluffy kids.

[Then we’ll get to see Station Chief sister frequently!]

The Snow Cleaning Weasels happily rolled around in the snow, very much like sticky rice balls in powdered sugar.

The wild boars learned that the Station Chief might come to Snow Mountain a few more times, letting out joyful squeals; this was great, they’d have a feast.

[We’re gonna help Station Chief grow snow lotuses too!]

The Snow Cleaning Weasels pursed their lips: [Maybe not. We’d rather you not squash the snow lotuses flat with your butts.]
