American Hunting: Starting with Solitary Life in the Wilderness

Chapter 104 The Wonderful Uses of the Golden Finger!

After leaving his teacher's wife's house, Lin Yu'an went straight to the airport.

I'm preparing to go to Guangzhou to find Old Cat, heading to the small warehouse I rented for him.

When Lin Yu'an arrived at the warehouse located near the express delivery center, Lao Mao was smoking a cigarette and directing several workers with his hands on his hips.

Upon seeing Lin Yu'an, he immediately threw away his cigarette butt and ran over eagerly.

"Brother An, you're finally back in China! Come and see all your treasures!"

Lin Yu'an walked into the warehouse, and even though he was prepared, he was still slightly shocked by the scene before him.

In the warehouse, which is only a few dozen square meters in size, all kinds of materials are piled up like mountains, from neatly stacked solar panels to storage batteries.

Then there was the XCMG loader, the red behemoth Zongshen tricycle, and various black engineering plastic boxes; the entire warehouse was filled with a dazzling array of items.

"Good job, Old Cat." Lin Yu'an patted Old Cat on the shoulder.

Lin Yu'an glanced at the time: "I've already called people, just wait for them to come and load the truck."

"Load it onto the truck? Where to load it?" Old Cat was taken aback.

"Send it to the courier company's warehouse for international freight; they handle all the shipping and customs clearance."

Old Cat immediately understood. Since he still had work to do, he took the gift Lin Yu'an gave him back to the company to work.

Lin Yu'an originally wanted to give the money to Lao Mao directly, but he knew Lao Mao wouldn't accept it, so he secretly put 2 yuan in the gift belt box he gave him as a token of his appreciation for Lao Mao's hard work.

At this moment, only Lin Yu'an and the supplies remained in the warehouse.

Lin Yu'an took a deep breath and walked to the center of the warehouse.

He activated his cheat code.

As his thoughts surged forth like a tide, the entire warehouse seemed to be muted.

The supplies that were originally piled up on the ground began to appear out of thin air in his space!

It was almost completely full! Fortunately, apart from the XCMG loader, the other large items were all packed in wooden crates, and smaller items could be stacked on top of them.

Lin Yu'an only packed the tricycle, loader and accessories, some small engineering plastic boxes and some seeds into the space.

He plans to ship the other portion of the seeds by express delivery and sea freight, since he is unsure whether even plant seeds will be inactivated in this environment.

For other items that are not urgent, he plans to send them to Alaska via regular courier service.

More than an hour later, the courier company arrived with a container.

Lin Yu'an directed them to pack some small, non-urgent items into trucks, which quickly filled a container.

After paying the freight, the truck driver and workers were allowed to leave.

As for the items in his space, he had already found a legitimate American customs clearance company on the dark web.

While it's called the dark web, it's essentially a trading platform that operates on the fringes of the law, not a completely illegal dark web.

The entire process is online. They don't care where your goods come from; as long as you pay a certain commission and a small amount of back taxes, they can make your goods appear to be legally imported.

In this way, Lin Yu'an wouldn't have to wait several months or even half a year to legally transport the items he urgently needed to Alaska through the Golden Finger.

After finishing all this, he glanced at the time; it wasn't even evening yet.

He took out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't contacted in a long time, yet which was incredibly familiar to him.

The phone rang a few times before being answered, and a slightly lazy voice came through: "Who is it?"

“Sunrise, it’s me, Xiao An,” Lin Yu’an said with a smile.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a burst of excited shouts: "Holy crap! Anzai! You bastard, you finally decided to come back? Where are you?"

"Just returned to China, currently in the city."

"Standing there is not good"

Sheng Risheng seemed to suddenly remember that Lin Yu'an's Cantonese ability was almost zero, and immediately switched to Mandarin.

"Come to our usual spot! At the entrance of Liede Village, at Ah Zhen and Lao Heng's food stall. Let's drink until we drop tonight!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of irresistible enthusiasm. Liede Village was where they used to work summer jobs, and it was here that Sheng Risheng made his fortune.

Half an hour later, Lin Yu'an took a taxi to Liede Village.

Today, skyscrapers stand tall, luxury cars are everywhere, and the city exudes the vibrant atmosphere of a modern metropolis.

But deep within the village, some old neighborhoods still retain their vibrant, everyday life.

Lin Yu'an found a seat at a roadside food stall under the banyan tree. Before he could even order, a flashy Maserati SUV pulled up at an extremely arrogant angle.

The car door opened, and a man wearing a floral shirt, flip-flops, and a thick gold chain around his neck stepped out.

He looked to be about the same age as Lin Yu'an, but he had gained weight and his face had a relaxed look that came from being immersed in a life of wine, women, and comfort.

He is Lin Yu'an's childhood friend, Sheng Risheng, known as "Brother Sheng".

"Anzai!" Sheng Risheng spotted Lin Yu'an at a glance. He opened his arms and gave Lin Yu'an a tight hug, patting his back forcefully.

"You bastard, you've been gone for years without a word. I thought you'd made your fortune somewhere and forgotten all your brothers!"

Lin Yu'an laughed and punched him lightly: "I can't compare to your outfit."

"Hey, it's all fake! It's all a lie!"

Sheng Risheng sat down casually, skillfully scalded the bowls and chopsticks with boiling water, and called out to the owner.

"Ah Zhen! Roast goose, poached chicken, stir-fried clams with black bean sauce, salt and pepper mantis shrimp... Bring out all your signature dishes! And two dozen bottles of Pearl River Pure Draft Beer!"

The food and drinks were served quickly, and the two men toasted each other, chatting about their recent lives.

Sheng Risheng's life trajectory can be described as an urban legend.

Lin Yu'an and he were elementary school classmates. After graduating from junior high school, he did not go to high school, but went south to work in a factory in Guangzhou, where he worked as a screw maker.

He later discovered that he had a talent for gaming, so he worked as a League of Legends booster and once earned tens of thousands of yuan a month.

With his quick wit and strong emotional drive, he quickly rose from a game booster to a top-tier gaming companion.

Then he seized the opportunity presented by live streaming and became a top League of Legends streamer, easily earning hundreds of thousands of yuan a month!

And so he went from a lowly screw maker to a League of Legends booster, and then to a top streamer! Step by step, he successfully hooked up with the top female fan.

A wealthy woman from Liede Village, thirteen years his senior and owning more than a dozen buildings, became his son-in-law.

Sheng Risheng took a swig of beer, let out a satisfied burp, and then shook the bunch of keys in his hand.

"Now, my daily work is to collect rent for my wife's house, chat with the tenants, chase up the rent, and when I have free time, I go for a massage or sing karaoke."

"I used to be obsessed with fishing, and I bought a ton of equipment, just to bait the fish!"

"Now I'm so angry that I've switched to keeping ornamental fish, specifically platinum arowanas. Life's just so aimless!"

He said he had no ambition, but his face was full of pride and satisfaction.

"And you, Anzai?" Sheng Risheng asked curiously.

Lin Yu'an smiled and briefly explained his recent situation.

Sheng Risheng's eyes widened as he listened. He snatched Lin Yu'an's phone and looked through photos of Alia and the babies, as well as some landscape photos that Lin Yu'an had taken at the Montana farm.

"Wow! Blonde, big-breasted beauty! And she even gave birth to twins! On-jai, you've really nailed this time!"

For the first time, genuine envy was revealed in Sheng Risheng's eyes, an envy that had nothing to do with money or material possessions.

He looked at the photo of Lin Yu'an standing in the snow with a gun, then touched his slightly protruding belly and sighed.

"Anzai, to be honest, I'm so envious of you."

Sheng Risheng's voice lowered: "I live in this concrete jungle every day, arguing with my tenants over trivial matters. It's so annoying."

"I can't catch anything while fishing, and I can't keep up with the game's controls. My wife makes black goji berry and ginseng chicken soup every day. Sigh, it's all tears when you're middle-aged."

"You're different. You're facing real mountains and seas, hunting bears, catching wolves, fishing for big fish... This is the life a man should live!"

He slammed his fist on the table: "Anzai! Wait for me! Wait until I convince my wife, and I'll definitely come to America to find you! You have to take me to experience real hunting! Just thinking about it is so exciting!"

“We’ve been chasing pheasants and picking mushrooms in the mountains since we were kids, you know how much I love that kind of fun! I’ll bring you a whole bunch of clients, all landlords, I guarantee you’ll make a fortune!”

Lin Yu'an smiled, raised her glass, and clinked it against his: "Okay, I'll wait for you to bring me big clients! I'll take you to see the aurora borealis then!"

That night, they drank a lot of alcohol and talked a lot about the past.

Looking at his childhood friend, whose edges had been smoothed out by a comfortable life but who still retained a trace of his youthful interests, Lin Yu'an felt a mix of emotions.

Everyone has their own path to choose; there is no right or wrong, only whether one is content with it.

He was grateful that after being reborn, he could choose a path of freedom.

After calling a designated driver for him and saying goodbye to the drunken Sheng Risheng, Lin Yu'an walked on the bustling yet unfamiliar streets, the city's neon lights illuminating the night sky in a hazy way.

Lin Yu'an took a deep breath, and the cold, pure air of Alaska seemed to fill his lungs once again.

Walking on the bustling streets, one is surrounded by the vibrant life of everyday people, a scene of prosperity and grandeur.

Lin Yu'an had just listened to Sheng Risheng's comfortable life as a wealthy man in the city, a life she used to yearn for, but after experiencing so much, she realized that life was different.

At this moment, he understood his true feelings more clearly, and he no longer envied the lifestyle he once longed for.

He was once again grateful that after his rebirth, he no longer had to worry about financial pressures, but could live a self-sufficient life by hunting and surviving according to his own preferences.

At this moment, his body and mind completely belonged to the free wilderness! No longer belonging to the city of reinforced concrete!
