A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 125 Collecting Puzzle Pieces: Crossing the Seas from All Directions, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities!
"We're finally in!"

"There are so many people today!"

At Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area, Yang Long and his assistant Wang Bin squeezed their way in, deeply moved:
"Hurry up and start the live stream, let's get the event going!"

"I'd like to see if Qingfeng Mountain, after all this publicity, actually has this so-called Peach Blossom Spring!"

Yang Long said impatiently.

Yang Long is a minor internet celebrity who specializes in live-streaming outdoor adventures, mainly enjoying venturing deep into the mountains.

He had previously crossed Lop Nur, but was caught by the police on the second day after crossing.

He's very skilled at outdoor adventures, and his livestreaming style is quite authentic, attracting a large audience who affectionately call him "Brother Insect."

His assistant held up a phone stand, pointed the phone camera at him, and started the live stream.

Soon, his fans flooded into the live stream.

[Brother Bug, where are you this time?]

[Are you really coming to Qingfeng Mountain?]

[Where is this? There are so many people. Have they stopped broadcasting outdoor content?]

Fans left numerous comments asking questions.

Yang Long continued forward, explaining:
"Today I've come to Qingfeng Mountain to participate in the search for Peach Blossom Spring activity."

"Many people may not know that the owner here held an event, saying that there is a large architectural landscape hidden in the scenic area."

"Only by completing tasks and collecting clues can we find where the building is located."

"That's pretty outrageous."

Yang Long walked quickly forward along the road.

Many people have already started doing tasks at this point.

His fans were somewhat taken aback by this scene.

What?
Looking for large-scale construction projects?
There are also activities like this.

As we were walking, two dogs suddenly drove up in a toy car towards us in the live stream.

The assistant immediately pointed the camera at the dog.

Seeing this, the fans in the live stream all thought they were hallucinating.

Did you see those two dogs?

I thought I was seeing things!

Haha, where is this scenic spot? It's amazing!

Many people are unfamiliar with Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area, and they are bound to be surprised when they see it for the first time.

Yang Long, on the other hand, continued deeper inside.

The flora and fauna at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain are unrelated to the activities.

This place is more like a great spot for a spring outing and relaxation.

You can feed the miniature pigs and pet the sika deer.

Everything is fine.

As Yang Long passed through the scenic area and entered the connecting road, the Qingyun Sect's headquarters soon came into view.

The entrance to the sect was a huge archway, resembling the Southern Heavenly Gate of the immortals.

Three large characters were written on it: Qingyun Sect
Tourists are passing through the gate and entering the Zongmen Scenic Area.

Many of them were young girls dressed in ancient Hanfu, and there were also a few flamboyant boys dressed in Jinyiwei uniforms, but they looked a bit out of place because of their short hair.

Men look better when wearing ancient costumes with hats or wigs.

The scenery changed drastically as we traveled from Qingfeng Mountain to this place.

The stylistic changes are particularly noticeable.

"There are already so many people, I need to hurry up and finish the task."

"Don't let anyone beat you to it!"

Yang Long exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing a Taoist NPC in ancient style playing a dice game ahead, he couldn't wait to go and join the queue.

It was only five minutes before it was Yang Long's turn.

"Fellow Daoist, let's play a game of size, best of three, are you ready?"

The employee, dressed as a Taoist priest, chuckled and then threw a large die into the air.

"5 points!"

Upon seeing the number rolled on the dice, the surrounding tourists immediately revealed gloating smiles.

They seemed to think Yang Long had no chance of winning.

The viewers in the live stream were amused.

People prefer to see others suffer misfortune.

Yang Long took a deep breath, picked up the large die, and tossed it into space.

After the dice fell, they rolled several times, and finally, with a gentle shake, they landed on a "6".

"6 o'clock! It's 6 o'clock!"

"what!"

"Who am I?!"

“It’s so easy!”

Yang Long immediately transformed into a smug and arrogant figure, his face full of pride.

"Fellow Daoist, you win the first round!"

"Let's do it again!"

The Taoist priest in ancient style began the second round of dice rolling.

In the second round, the Taoist threw a 3, and Yang Long scoffed, "That's all?" Then, with confidence, he threw a 1.

Everyone was laughing heartily, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

In the third round, he narrowly escaped defeat and won 3-2, successfully obtaining the clue.

"We finally won, that was close."

Yang Long breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist, congratulations. This is the token to enter Peach Blossom Spring. Collect all of them to obtain clues to enter Peach Blossom Spring."

"You must treasure it carefully."

The Taoist priest reached into his robes and pulled out a square puzzle piece.

"There are nine pieces of evidence in total. Once you collect them all, the clues will naturally appear."

"Clues can be shared with others, but there can only be one winner, fellow Daoist, please be careful."

The Taoist priest smiled again, and then said to the tourists behind him:
"Please welcome the next fellow Daoist!"

Yang Long received the puzzle piece and couldn't wait to look at it.

One side of the puzzle has a landscape pattern, and the other side has half a character.

Because there's only one piece, I can't see what the character is.

"On one side is scenery, on the other side are words."

“It’s quite mysterious.”

Yang Long showed the jigsaw puzzle to the viewers in the live stream. The viewers became even more curious.

What's going on at this tourist attraction?!

[Boss Qi's events are all quite interesting!]

[That looks so exciting! I want to try it too!]

Yang Long looked around at the bustling tourists. Many of them were running around doing tasks, and many others were in groups of several people, collecting clues together.

They're definitely faster.

Yang Long thought of the saying "money makes the world go round," meaning that with money one could take shortcuts, so he shouted:
"Hey everyone, does anyone have any extra puzzle pieces? I'll buy any I don't have for a hundred dollars!"

"One hundred yuan for a jigsaw puzzle!"

Upon hearing his words, some tourists around him immediately looked at the jigsaw puzzle in their hands.

A person next to him said:

"The puzzle pieces this Taoist priest gives are all the same. If you want to find other puzzle pieces, you have to go to someone else."

"There are many places to play games within the Qingyun Sect."

"The Taiji Hall and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion are both there, and the gambling den is the most lively!"

"I suggest you go check out the gambling den; they even have to use puzzle pieces to win other puzzle pieces!"

Hearing this, Yang Long became even more excited.

He immediately strode forward.

As he walked, he also introduced the products to the viewers in the live stream:
"This scenic area is so interesting!"

"You know what, at first it didn't seem like much, but once you collect a piece of the puzzle, you really can't wait to collect all the other pieces!"

"I'm determined to collect all the puzzle pieces today and see what clue they hold!"

Yang Long's face was full of excitement.

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream cheered them on.

[Go for it, Brother Bug!]

[This makes me really want to go play too!]

[Is this event only for one day? I saw the promotional video before, but it didn't seem like much. Now I feel like I really missed out!]

It seems like it's only for one day!

Ah! Boss Qi's events are all fantastic; missing them would be a real loss!

Everyone started sending comments.

His live streams are more popular than usual.

A lot of people watched it.

People find this kind of activity quite interesting.

There are many streamers like Yang Long, and even more tourists like him.

Some tourists come in groups of four, sharing information and resources in a WeChat group.

"I got this puzzle piece, let's see if I have it!"

"We've got it! We've got it! We already have this!"

"Where's mine?"

"No one here! Great! This is the fifth one. I only need four more to complete the set!"

"Let's find out which places we haven't been to yet, and divide the tasks!"

"I'm in good shape, I'll go to Guanyun Pavilion!"

"I'm going deep into the ancient village!"

"I'll go to the gambling den and try it out with the right one!"

The atmosphere in the group was lively.

Many people are very competitive; they want to be number one in any game, competition, or exam.

This process itself is very challenging.

Therefore, people from all directions crossed the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

People tried all sorts of methods to collect the puzzle pieces.

Qi Yue was also preparing for the game.

He smiled.

According to his plan, only 7 types of puzzle pieces could be obtained by finding NPCs before 10 o'clock.

The remaining two options are only available for events after 10 PM.

That's why he's called cunning.

It's all routines.

Qi Yue also hopes the event will last longer; if it's a collaborative effort involving multiple people, then all nine puzzle pieces can be collected quickly.

Other tourists didn't get to experience the tour.

It's almost time.

The amazing team has collected 7 puzzle pieces, and the new event can begin.

At that moment, all the employees' WeChat messages rang simultaneously, indicating that there were new messages in the event group.

A Taoist priest in ancient style is competing with tourists in an investment contest; a burly swordsman sits at a table, placing a red ball under a cup and then quickly moving the cup, asking tourists to guess the ball's location; a masked assassin is drawing playing cards with tourists to compare their hands.

Everyone suddenly stopped.

"Wait a moment, our sect leader has given instructions."

The Taoist priest said to the tourists.

He took out his phone, looked at it, and then said to the tourists:

"The sect leader said that there are new activities in the ancient village, and new puzzle pieces can be obtained."

"Tourists who have accumulated enough puzzle pieces can try their luck at the ancient village."

Upon hearing this, many tourists suddenly realized what was going on.

"There's a new event!"

"It must be that new puzzle piece that hasn't appeared yet!"

"Come on, let's go win the puzzle!"

"Someone is paying to buy it. If you line up early, you might win a dollar and maybe sell it for 100 dollars!"

Everyone got excited again.

Soon, many small groups also received the news.

People flocked to the ancient village.

Some fun activities are also prepared in the ancient village.

For example, throwing a ball into the net, hitting a sandbag, or pitching in a pot.

If you meet the requirements, you will receive a new puzzle piece.

The tourists were in high spirits.

However, collecting all nine puzzle pieces is just the beginning.

Finding the Peach Blossom Spring will require some more effort.
