A burly young man said in a muffled voice.

Finally, it was the turn of a short, thin young man with pockmarks on his face.

He stood timidly in the corner, with his head down and not daring to speak.

"What about you? What can you do?" Chen Changyuan asked.

The pockmarked young man hesitated for a long time before whispering:

"I...I don't know anything..."

His words caused a burst of laughter.

"Haha, bean sprout, why are you joining in the fun if you don't know anything?"

"That's right, even if you go, you'll just be a drag!"

The pockmarked young man who was called "Bean Sprout" was even more embarrassed and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Chen Changyuan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the group of young people in front of him who were vying to show off their "talents".

Most of these people are ambitious but lack the skills. If they really go into the mountains, they probably won’t even be able to catch a rabbit.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"

Chen Changyuan raised his voice and interrupted the "performance" of this group of young people.

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Chen Changyuan eagerly, waiting for his "final decision."

Chen Changyuan's gaze swept across the crowd and finally fell on the pockmarked young man who had been keeping his head down in the corner.

"What's your name?" Chen Changyuan asked.

"I... my name is Li Ming." The pockmarked boy answered timidly.

Li Ming?

Chen Changyuan looked carefully at the thin young man in front of him, and the floodgates of memory slowly opened in his mind.

He remembered that Li Ming was the orphan in the village who grew up eating at many people's homes.

In his previous life, he seemed to have been caught stealing and was eventually sold to an illegal factory, where he had a miserable end.

Unexpectedly, in this life, he would appear in front of her and ask to learn hunting.

"Do you want to learn hunting from me?" Chen Changyuan asked with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Li Ming bit his lip, and as if he had mustered up a lot of courage, he raised his head and looked at Chen Changyuan, his eyes full of desire:

"Brother Changyuan, please accept me! I can do anything, as long as I can have enough food to eat and find a wife in the future!"

His words caused another burst of laughter.

"Haha, bean sprout, you still want to get married? With your looks, which girl would be willing to marry you?"

"That's right, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You're a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!"

Li Ming's face turned red, he clenched his fists, but was unable to refute.

"Shut up, all of you!" Chen Changyuan shouted, and the room suddenly fell silent.

He looked at Li Ming and asked:

"You said you can do anything? What can you do?"

Li Ming hesitated for a long time before he whispered:

"I... I may not be able to hunt, but I'm pretty good at raising animals! I've raised those dogs at the entrance of the village like little piglets!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted in laughter again.

"Haha, this is making me laugh to death. Bean Sprout, you have a dog? I'm afraid your dog must be starving to the point of being skin and bones, right?"

"That's right, with the little food you have, you can't even feed yourself, how can you still raise a dog?"

Li Ming's face flushed. He wanted to retort but didn't know what to say.

He has been an orphan since childhood and can only survive on the charity of the villagers. He usually can't even get enough food, let alone raise a dog.

Chen Changyuan looked at the embarrassed young man in front of him and felt a trace of sympathy in his heart.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, Li Ming was unable to marry because he was too poor, which led to his death.

"Okay, stop laughing!" Chen Changyuan spoke again to stop everyone from laughing.

He looked at Li Ming and asked:

"You said you're good at raising animals, so what kind of animals do you raise?"

Seeing that Chen Changyuan did not laugh at him like the others, Li Ming felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. He quickly said:

"I can raise anything! Chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, I can raise them all!"

"Oh? Is that true?"

Chen Changyuan pretended to be unconvinced and asked, "Then tell me, how did you raise it?"

Li Ming became excited when he saw that Chen Changyuan seemed really interested in what he said about raising livestock.

He talked incessantly about how he observed animal habits, how he prepared feed, how he prevented and controlled diseases, etc.

Chen Changyuan nodded secretly as he listened. Although Li Ming looked frail, he did seem to have some knowledge of raising livestock.

Although the methods he mentioned sound a bit rough, they do have some merits.

Chen Changyuan touched his chin, and Li Ming's words made him fall into deep thought.

The laughter around gradually subsided, and everyone looked at Chen Changyuan curiously, wanting to see what he was up to.

Raising livestock?

Nowadays, every family depends on a few acres of land to make a living. Who would use precious food to feed these creatures?

Chen Changyuan's eyes lit up. Isn't what Li Ming said a good opportunity?

He remembered clearly that in his previous life, there was a swine fever in the village and all the pigs in every household died of the disease.

Only the Liu family at the east end of the village managed to keep a few pigs by relying on the secret recipe passed down from their ancestors, and finally made a fortune by selling pork.

Moreover, he was worried about how to get money to go to the city to buy equipment to hunt tigers. If Li Ming really was good at raising livestock, it would be like sending you a pillow when you are sleepy!

"OK!"

Chen Changyuan slammed the table, startling everyone in the room. He pointed at Li Ming and said, "I can teach you how to hunt, but you have to agree to a few conditions!"

When Li Ming heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded quickly:

"Brother Changyuan, tell me, I'll agree to whatever you say!"

The others also stretched their necks, wanting to hear what conditions Chen Changyuan was going to propose.

"First," Chen Changyuan raised a finger, "From now on, when you hunt with me, I want half of the prey you catch!"

"What?!" The crowd exploded.

"Is this kid crazy? Who does he think he is? Why should he take half of the prey?"

"That's right, he's just a young boy, what kind of prey can he possibly catch? He wants half of it, what a dream!"

Even Li Ming was stunned. Although he didn't know how to hunt, he knew how hard it was. This half of the prey was not a small number.

Chen Changyuan ignored everyone's comments and continued to speak:

"Second, you can't tell anyone what I teach you!"

"Tsk, who wants your junk?"

"That's right, you're still hiding it, do you really think it's some treasure?"

Chen Changyuan remained unmoved and continued:

"Third, if you follow me, you must obey me. You must do whatever I tell you to do, without a single complaint!"

"What? Why?"

"Exactly, who do you think you are, commanding us?"

Chen Changyuan glanced around with a stern look in his eyes. Everyone felt uneasy when they saw him, and the original shouting gradually died down.

"What do you think? Do you agree or not?"
