A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 103 is still a props-based competition!
Rivers outside Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

The river area, which was usually rather quiet, was unusually lively today.

The area was full of tourists.

Upstream, more than 1,300 little yellow ducks are ready to go.

That's quite a lot; the nylon netting filled three large bags.

However, reaching the finish line won't be easy for them.

The scenic area has many winding rivers and a long journey, and many backflow areas can easily cause the accumulation of rubber ducks.

Moreover, in some places the current is shallow and there are no banks, so ducks can easily wash ashore.

It's very difficult to win the championship.

Qi Yue is still live streaming.

Viewers were quite interested in the ducks shown in the live stream.

[Could we have an online prediction contest? I'd love to participate!]

[Choosing just one duck from over 1000 is an incredibly low probability event!]

[It looks so lively!]

[First place gets 5 yuan directly? There must be something fishy going on!]

The comments kept scrolling.

It was still early, so Qi Yue stayed here to watch the excitement.

Two country dogs followed him.

Both of them love excitement and enjoy being in crowded places.

Since it was his own scenic area, Qi Yue was in charge of the two guys, so he let them roam freely.

Many tourists also like them, and when they see them, they squat down and wave excitedly at them.

At this very moment, four young men majoring in civil engineering at university were by the river, constantly looking around.

Choosing this major at this time basically means they're giving up on their studies or preparing to switch majors.

"Is this likely to work?"

"It only costs 30 yuan for a few bottles of drinks, so it's worth participating once."

"I wish I could win the first prize! 5 yuan! That's about all I spent on living expenses for four years of university!"

"If I win the first prize, I'll treat you guys to a night of massages!"

They discussed it excitedly.

One of the joys of participating in an event is the excitement and anticipation before the results are announced.

However, most people's expectations will be disappointed.

Qi Yue really wanted to participate, but it was definitely not possible.

Either you don't win the prize, or nothing happens.

If someone actually wins first place, everyone will accuse them of cheating, which will have a negative impact on the event.

It's not necessary.

He said to the viewers in the live stream:
"The event is about to start, and each of these little yellow ducks corresponds to a visitor."

"We will call the winning tourists then, and they can claim their prizes by showing their phone number."

Upon hearing this, netizens immediately joked:
What if the person who wins the grand prize gets their phone stolen?

Upon seeing this question, Qi Yue calmly responded:

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it, that's just how the rules are."

Upon hearing his words, netizens were slightly taken aback.

I thought there would be some explanation, but I didn't expect Qi Yue to be so straightforward.

That's reasonable.

The organizers don't care about the stolen phones.

The lively atmosphere lasted until noon.

Registration had closed, so Qi Yue went upstream and waved to the college student temporary workers.

The next second, they opened the net and released all the little yellow ducks.

In an instant, the surface of the river was covered with tiny yellow ducks, densely packed together.

Then, as the river flowed, the little yellow ducks began to drift forward one after another.

They stood side by side, almost chest to back.

"It's begun! It's begun!"

"Number 100! Go for it!"

"That's too much! Is a thousand all you've got?"

"Haha, how lively!"

The tourists were excited and exclaimed when they saw the little yellow duck.

The atmosphere around them instantly became lively.

Everyone's attention was naturally focused on the little yellow duck at the front, since everyone was more interested in the champion.

The drone's view was also locked on the front.

There were so many ducks that even after the ducks in front had made it around a bend, the ducks behind were still piled up together and circling around.

Tourists occasionally glance at the ducks in the background and can't help but burst into laughter, guessing that the champion has little to do with these little yellow ducks.

Qi Yue followed the tourists forward, enjoying the lively atmosphere.

He has always liked this kind of atmosphere.

It's better for the scenic area to be a bit more lively.

Then, the little yellow ducks moved forward in groups, and the river turned yellow.

When they turned the corner, some of the little yellow ducks stayed behind, while others rushed out of the river. These ducks were basically eliminated.

at the same time.

Lower reaches of the river.

The ducks raised in the scenic area are playing in the river.

Because the lake has recently been occupied by Chinese Mergansers and Red-crowned Cranes, the ducks have chosen to come to the river to play.

The river water felt even more stimulating. But today, the ducks sensed something was wrong.

A duck looked around warily, quacking and exchanging greetings with its companion.

Duck: "Did you hear that?"

Companion: "What did you hear?"

Duck: "It sounds like a massive army is coming!"

Companion: "Are you crazy?!"

They exchanged a few words briefly and then ignored each other.

However, gradually, the commotion grew louder and louder.

Several ducks sensed the commotion and became curious.

At that moment, a duck turned its head and saw countless little yellow ducks surging towards it from upstream.

The duck was momentarily stunned.

Its brain didn't process it for a moment.

"Gah?"

It was completely bewildered by the surging tide of little yellow ducks.

The other ducks also noticed the commotion.

They were initially stunned, then they wagged their tails and scattered in all directions.

But it was too late. The little yellow ducks were very fast, and soon they had surged up to them.

However, the imagined impact of the little yellow duck did not materialize.

It didn't even have much force.

The ducks then settled down and swam together with the little yellow duck.

The ducks were clearly unhappy after being frightened.

They immediately pecked at the little yellow ducks next to them, and some even picked up the little yellow ducks and threw them elsewhere.

The tourists following them were dumbfounded.

"No, don't peck my duck!"

"Wow, that's mine! I can win!"

"Good heavens, it's an item race!"

"My duck got pecked, how do I settle this?"

Many people were shouting, and many people were laughing happily.

Qi Yue was also smiling.

Unexpected events like this are inevitable, and that's what makes the competition interesting.

It all depends on luck.

The ducks swam among the vast expanse of little yellow ducks, each one looking like a great demon king.

The scene looks very interesting.

And so, one after another, the little yellow ducks kept rushing forward.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the champion duck was successfully born.

Then, all ten ducks were scooped up.

To prevent any accidents, the first fifteen were recorded.

When the awards ceremony was held, each duck's number was matched with its photograph.

Sure enough, there were some that were indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Third place, number 543, but this isn't a duck from the scenic area, so it doesn't count."

"The reward will be extended."

Qi Yue announced the rewards to everyone.

At this moment, four college students are waiting for the awards ceremony.

"Holy crap! My duck came in twelfth place, just missed the prize!"

One of them said in frustration.

"Pity!"

"Don't be afraid, there's a chance. Someone's using fake ducks!"

"Huh? Who's so clever as to use a fake duck!"

"We have hope!"

The other three cheered him on.

Qi Yue continued checking the rewards, and soon he found another fake duck.

The devil is always one step ahead of the saint.

These people want to cheat, but it's simply impossible.

With all ten ducks secured, it's time to present the awards.

The four college students were extremely excited.

"I won! I won! Two thousand yuan!"

"Tenth place, how lucky!"

"This scenic area is amazing!"

"I'll definitely come again, it was so much fun!"

The same applies to other award-winning tourists.

Qi Yue gave everyone cash directly.

Viewers watching the live stream were amazed by what they saw.

The activities at the scenic area are great!

Qi Yue was equally pleased; having completed the task, he received a scenic area model as a reward.

In the future, the buildings of the scenic area can be modeled on the sand table.

Everything is much more convenient now.
