A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

[Recruiting]

A notification appeared on the system panel.

When Qi Yue saw the information in the recruitment shop, he was completely stunned.

"Mojin Xiaowei?"

What would I need a tomb raider for?

"His name is Wu Bayi. Goodness, he has the names of two main characters from The Grave Robbers' Chronicles and Ghost Blows Out the Light."

"I don't have any tomb landscapes here."

Qi Yue never expected to draw such a character.

But it's good to have more people.

The sect's landscape happens to be an ancient architectural complex, so adding an antique shop doesn't seem out of place.

At worst, we can just build one and sell some simple cultural and creative products; that would be fine.

After opening the treasure chest, Qi Yue went to the courtyard and chose to claim the treasure chest reward.

Then, a white peacock, a white snake, and a white fox all appeared before Qi Yue.

Each of the three guys has their own unique characteristics.

The most beautiful is the white peacock, with all its feathers white, including its tail feathers. If it could spread its tail feathers, it would truly resemble a white phoenix.

The white fox is cute and tiny.

Qi Yue already kept a few wild foxes, and he really liked them.

As for the white snake, its scales are distinct and glossy, and its head is somewhat round, so it doesn't look that scary.

Qi Yue didn't particularly like snakes, but he thought this white snake was quite nice.

Moreover, the white snake can understand his commands.

The snake will still obey some simple commands.

But the white snake preferred to live in the mountains, so Qi Yue had a brief conversation with it and then let it leave.

Just go and do activities at the Qingyun Sect.

As for the white peacock and white fox, leave them in the yard for now, and we'll move them to the petting zoo tomorrow.

It was quite a lively night.

The next day.

After getting up, Qi Yue first made sure the animals were properly taken care of.

Zhu Kun and Li Yu both came over to see what was going on when they heard there were pure white peacocks.

When they saw it, they were instantly amazed by the beauty of the white peacock.

"My goodness, where did this peacock come from? It's so beautiful!"

"There are even white peacocks! I've learned something new!"

"The boss is truly incredibly resourceful!"

"This needs to be grown in a specialized garden; it'll definitely be a hit!"

The two were both surprised.

There are very few parks with white peacocks now.

This guy is really rare.

As for the white fox, Qi Yue kept it free-range, so he didn't bring it along.

After settling the animals in, he had nothing else to do, so he decided to check on the department's operations.

It was 11 o'clock when I arrived.

Wu Bayi, the new employee who came to apply for the job, finally arrived.

This guy was dressed in outdoor work clothes, carrying a bag, and his hair was a little long, but he was still fairly clean.

As soon as Wu Bayi entered the scenic area, the first thing he did was look towards Qingfeng Mountain and Xiaopigu Mountain in the distance.

He seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes showed considerable interest.

He found Qi Yue and reported directly:
"Boss, there might be a tomb on that mountain behind."

"The place is nestled between mountains and water, where the dragon's energy gathers, making it a very auspicious place."

"From what I understand, this place was prosperous in ancient times. Although there were relatively few emperors and princes here, there was no shortage of officials and gentry with high status."

"It is very likely that he will be buried here."

Wu Bayi, being a tomb raider, immediately went back to his old profession.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue was at a loss for words, so he said:
"I'd like to consider opening an antique shop first, or I could collect antiques in the city. I can provide the funding."

"Grave raiding is illegal these days, so please don't do anything illegal."

Upon hearing Qi Yue's words, Wu Bayi laughed and replied:

"Boss, don't worry, I understand."

"These days, people are all about handing things over to the state, right?"

"Finding a tomb doesn't necessarily mean tomb raiding; it can also be considered archaeology. Once you find one, just report it to the cultural relics department."

"Besides, it's not certain whether it's a large tomb or not; it could be one of those small tombs."

"That kind of thing has no value, but it can be used to develop underground secret realms or underground labyrinths."

“Nowadays, many newly built high-rise buildings, schools, and hospitals in the city are just graves when you dig them up, so it doesn’t matter.”

Wu Bayi has a lively mind and a very sunny disposition.

It doesn't give off the feeling of the mysterious and inscrutable characters from the old TV series that I used to see.

It's the 21st century now, and the era of rampant tomb raiding is long gone.

Qi Yue pondered what he said.

An underground secret realm.

It's good, but it also needs a good design.

Otherwise, with such a large investment, the results might not be good.

"We'll talk about that later. Building an underground secret realm is difficult; we'll take it one step at a time."

Qi Yue responded.

After successfully joining the company, Wu Bayi greeted Qi Yue and then headed straight into the mountains, saying he was looking for treasure.

Such a large mountain range has undergone countless years of natural development, making it very difficult to find the tomb.

But seeing Wu Bayi's confident demeanor, Qi Yue didn't interfere.

Let him search as he pleases.

Who knows, we might actually find something good.

The scenic spots are indeed becoming more and more amazing, and Qi Yue has gotten used to it.

The scenic area reopened as normal the next day.

Tourists flocked to the bustling Qingfeng Mountain scenic area.

The main selling points here are affordability and attentive service.

The tourists had a great experience.

Parents brought their children into the petting zoo.

Inside, the grass is lush and green, and there are several areas enclosed by wooden fences where all sorts of adorable pets live.

Just then, a child suddenly shouted at his father:

"Dad, look there, a white peacock!"

The man didn't take his son's words seriously at first, but when he turned his head, he actually saw a white peacock.

"I go?"

The man's expression changed.

He ignored his son and immediately walked towards the white peacock.

His wife grabbed their son and hurriedly followed.

"Is that really a white peacock?"

"Live?!"

"A mutated pet?!"

The man found it strange and came to the fence of the white peacocks, looking at them with curiosity as they strolled leisurely in the middle.

More and more people gathered around.

"It really is a white peacock! There are even white ones!"

"Where did they find this scenic spot?!"

"They even have such rare peacocks!"

"Is it true, just like what they say online, that the spiritual energy here has been revived?"

The man took out his phone and snapped several photos to document the white peacock.

Not far away, some bird photography enthusiasts came running from the shore of Mingyue Lake to catch a glimpse of the white peacock.

This peacock is indeed very beautiful.

The feathers are all shiny.

More and more people are watching.

The white peacock seemed to know that everyone was watching it.

Just then, it suddenly shook its tail, and the next second, its tail feathers swayed and spread out in a rustling motion.

"It's unfurled! It's unfurled!"

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"This is a celestial beast!"

The onlookers were thrilled and exclaimed in amazement.

All that could be seen was the white peacock's tail feathers spread out, resembling a blooming white flower, each feather bright and white, shimmering with a soft luster.

Bathed in sunlight, it appears dreamlike and sacred.

The white peacock proudly raised its head, exuding confidence and nobility.

Tourists stopped to admire the view.

"Boss Qi is up to something big again!"

"This place is getting more and more amazing; who knows what will happen next?"

"The development is getting better and better, no wonder everyone loves to come here."

The appearance of white peacocks has become a major feature of the scenic area.

It has a lot of fans.

The foot of Qingfeng Mountain is indeed a paradise where humans and nature live in harmony.

You can feed the sika deer, pet the alpacas, and walk the piglets.

You can feel the joy of people interacting with animals.

It's almost always packed on weekends.

Many people in the city have to book tickets in advance.

These past two days, Qi Yue has been resting, occasionally brushing the white fox's fur.

The development of the scenic area has become very stable.

The various departments coordinated and cooperated very well.

In addition, the secretary Yuanfang is very capable, which really saves me a lot of trouble.

Two days later, I accumulated another favor chest.

Qi Yue felt bored these past two days, so he wanted to unpack a box and find some fun.

So he simply chose to open it.

[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

Please select your reward:

[1. Pure Black Peacock *1, a rare pure black peacock, a fairy among mortals.]

2. A pure black miniature pony, a pure black miniature pony, which runs very fast.

3. A pure black miniature pig, cute and clever.

The rewards from the treasure chest have appeared.

Upon seeing the reward, Qi Yue's expression immediately lit up with joy.

Another rare grand prize, that's really great.

Then, the system notified him again that he had triggered the "all-conquering" effect once more.

Qi Yue smiled, a smile spreading across his face.

What great luck I'm having today!
