Chapter 11

"Qi, don't you feel lonely living here by yourself? I think the environment here is great, but it's too quiet. This kind of life doesn't seem to belong to a young person. You understand what I mean; I think living here might sometimes feel boring." Jiana thought Qi was really impressive, not just because he could afford this huge forest, but also because this guy seemed to like quietness as much as many old people did.

"No, I actually enjoy my current life. In fact, I'm not an introverted person; I really like a quiet life. But I do need to seek some different fun occasionally, and I also like lively activities. The forest is just starting to be set up, but it has a lot of potential and will become very interesting." Qi Ping said, crossing his legs, and he truly believed this.

"Sunbathing, playing games, watching movies—this kind of life is very leisurely. If my forest starts to produce, I won't have to work hard, and I can enjoy life more comfortably. I can go into the mountains, go hunting; actually, I'm already prepared. I will keep some pets, which will make it lively here. And you know, the beach is very close, so I can go for a walk anytime." Qi Ping said with a smile, and this was something he was really looking forward to.

"The premise is that your forest must start producing. You need to earn a lot of money so that you don't have to work and can enjoy life. I envy this kind of life, but I don't have such an opportunity now." Luo Yi joked, but who wouldn't envy such a life? Well, except for workaholics.

The group started chatting, talking about interesting things. Thinking about it now, life here was indeed very nice. If they had enough funds, they could fully enjoy those interesting things. That would be a completely relaxed and comfortable life, one that many people would envy.

"Qi, do you have a hunting rifle? You know what I mean. Your forest is large, and there's a forest park nearby, so you can go hunting in the mountains. Although there are hunting seasons and other restrictions, as long as you don't hunt protected animals in your private forest, no one will care." Douglas said curiously. Hunting was now considered a noble sport.

"Not yet, but I'll buy a gun in a few days. I'm not particularly interested in hunting, but I'm curious. I think I'll start trying it soon; maybe I'll find more interesting things." Qi Ping said with a smile. As a forest owner, even though he was just starting, he knew some things.

For example, hunting in the U.S. has some strict restrictions. The simplest is the hunting season, which is usually around October in the fall. During the hunting season, you can go hunting in the mountains, but the prey you hunt must be regulated. You need a hunting license, such as a deer license, which specifies how many deer you can hunt.

This means that besides harmful animals like wild boars and wolves, many prey cannot be hunted at will. Each hunter must follow many hunting rules. In private forests, as long as you don't hunt rare animals, there are fewer restrictions. This is why many hunting grounds do good business, as many hunters enjoy this sport and don't just hunt for a living; they treat it as a sport and a hobby.

"Guys, do you have any good recommendations? You know, I've never touched a gun; I know nothing about this mysterious thing, although I'm trying to learn more about it recently." Sitting at the door, basking in the sun, drinking coffee, and chatting with friends is a very leisurely thing to do.

"Okay, we don't know much about hunting rifles either. Although we've all handled guns, it wasn't for hunting; we don't have your conditions. And buddy, everyone has their own hobbies; you should discover them yourself to find the gun you love the most." Chris joked. Although they were considered middle-class, hunting was still a luxury for these office workers.

The group chatted, not just about hunting rifles but also about other things, such as their work and hobbies. This was a leisurely afternoon, a very enjoyable time.

Coming to the forest, Chris and the others were well-prepared. They enjoyed the current good times and didn't find life boring. In fact, it was a very comfortable experience. Relaxing in the forest was a very enjoyable time for these office workers who usually faced a lot of pressure.

"Guys, although it's a bit regrettable, I have to admit that I only have a four-wheeler right now. I think Douglas can take his girlfriend to try this fun sport. You know, it's really interesting." Just chatting wouldn't be enough; they needed some other fun. The four-wheeler was the best option, and it was Qi Ping's proudest toy, at least for now.

Seeing Qi Ping's four-wheeler, everyone got excited. Such a dune buggy was rare, at least in big cities, as these four-wheelers were more common on beaches, in mountains, and in sports fields, not in crowded cities. It was great to experience these four-wheelers.

Everyone could drive, and the high-end Wildcat 1000 four-wheelers were easy to drive. The comprehensive safety barriers also showed that this new toy was very safe.

Douglas, of course, didn't hesitate. After a brief inquiry about driving, he took his equally excited girlfriend to experience the fun of the four-wheeler.

This was a forest, a woodland. Although some roads were not very flat, four-wheelers were more interesting on rough terrain. So, after a brief familiarization with the four-wheeler, Douglas quickly took his girlfriend to challenge some difficult roads.

"Wow, this is really cool! Qi, I think you're a person who knows how to enjoy life. I don't think life in the forest is boring at all; you can find many interesting things here." Chris was very envious. Looking at Qi's life, this guy really knew how to enjoy and have fun.

"If I had such a forest and didn't have to worry about money, I would definitely be better at having fun. Believe me, I just don't have the conditions." Luo Yi expressed various envy, jealousy, and resentment. It had been just over two years since they last met, and his roommate had become so good at having fun, which he naturally envied.

"I plan to learn to fly a helicopter and get a helicopter pilot's license soon." Qi Ping's casual words left Luo Yi speechless. Although there were many planes in the U.S., flying a helicopter wasn't something just anyone could do.

"This isn't just for fun; look at my forest. It's a work necessity." Qi Ping was definitely showing off and stirring up resentment. At this point, couldn't he be a bit more low-key?

Now, not only Luo Yi but also Chris couldn't stand it. This hateful Qi was too despicable, constantly striking at people at this moment, so they had to give him the middle finger to show their contempt.

"Qi, this is really great! I think I've fallen in love with this sport; it's very interesting. If I have the chance, I'll go to the beach for this four-wheeler!" Douglas was excited after driving the four-wheeler. This car was really great and interesting.

"You haven't truly experienced its charm yet, believe me. If you drive it all over the forest, that's the most interesting part. You might not know, but a few days ago, I drove it around the forest for a long time, although I didn't cover the entire area, it was the real fun. Now, you just drive to work, but I had a fun road trip, that's the fun!" Qi Ping laughed and said proudly. Sometimes, it was really interesting to tease others.
