A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 28 Taking the ducks swimming!
Since the bug-catching event started, not only has the task progress accumulated quickly, but the favorability has also increased at a rapid pace.

Two days is enough to get a favorability chest.

At this point, Qi Yue faced a difficult choice.

Should I open these favorability chests one by one, or save them up and open them all at once?

Just like playing games, even though the probability is the same, the actual experience is still different.

Generally speaking, if you want to win big, you have to accumulate a lot of them and open them all at once.

For example, opening cases in CS:GO, or increasing power in DNF.

Each time I open it, it always feels like I'm only getting ordinary rewards.

"Let's wait and save up a few before opening."

Qi Yue made a decision.

By Friday night, the bug-catching task progress had reached: 8764/10000
I'll definitely be able to complete the task tomorrow, and then I'll be able to collect a lot of rewards.

Earn some money from the system.

By Saturday, Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area was bustling again.

Because of its improved reputation, many locals come here for a spring outing when they have nothing else to do on weekends.

Especially families of three with a child, and sometimes with an elderly person.

Because everyone was so enthusiastic about catching rabbits, all four Kung Fu Rabbits were placed on the vast grassland outside the petting zoo.

This way, visitors can catch rabbits whenever they want, and it also avoids bumping into children in the petting zoo.

Today the weather is sunny and bright.

The grass in the meadow is lush and green, and it looks even more beautiful when the sun shines on it.

Many young people were chasing rabbits on the grass.

The rabbits would deliberately tease them, always managing to escape just before they were about to be caught.

These four rabbits are considered internet celebrities, with high popularity, which has attracted many people to come here.

There were also some malicious people who wanted to kidnap Kungfu Rabbit.

But they couldn't catch them, let alone take them away.

Qi Yue strolled around the petting zoo again, followed by an adorable little yellow dog.

He nodded in satisfaction at the bustling scene at the scenic spot.

The scenic area is currently developing in a positive direction. According to the usual practice of pet parks, business will continue to rise within three months, and business will be relatively good within six months.

Pet parks typically close down after about a year.

The reason is simple: many people in cities might only go once or twice and then never go again.

They also want to go to other places to play.

Therefore, business will be just average a year from now.

At this point, pet parks often increase their investment and set up more scenes, but they still end up losing money.

Therefore, Qi Yue will still have to rely on the scenic area to develop other businesses.

"There are sika deer over there!"

"There are also sika deer outside, so beautiful!"

"Oh my god, can I touch it?"

"This place is really nice!"

Just then, the tourists noticed the sika deer in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

"People can buy food prepared by the scenic area to feed the sika deer, and the sika deer will come over."

Li Yu introduces the petting zoo to visitors.

Upon hearing this, many people immediately came to buy fresh carrots, apples, and sweet potato fries.

They're all pre-cut; sika deer like to eat them.

The price is 10 yuan per serving, which is not expensive compared to local prices, but since it's for feeding sika deer, the scenic area will definitely make a profit.

Qi Yue nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

"Li Yu! Let the ducks out!"

Seeing that there were many guests at the petting zoo, Qi Yue immediately greeted them.

In addition to the sika deer, the scenic area also bought a batch of small yellow ducks, which are kept in the duck house of the petting zoo.

These ducks have been kept in captivity for two days, so they are quite familiar with the environment here.

Qi Yue thought of taking them to the reservoir to swim and play.

Ducks know their way around.

The ducks in the village would call out to each other, go swimming in the river together, and then return to the village together, each going back to their own home.

Once you teach them, the ducks will go over there on their own.

Upon hearing Qi Yue's greeting, Li Yu walked to the duck shed and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, several ducks that had been cooped up rushed out and stopped outside the duck house, curiously gazing at the outside world.

Qi Yue also arrived at the entrance. Many tourists were holding up their phones and taking pictures in this direction.

"So many little yellow ducks!"

"So cute! Can we feed the ducks?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Qi Yue clapped his hands at the duck in the front.

“Here, follow me.”

He tried to guide the ducks to follow him.

Then, the ducks in front heard the noise, looked left and right, and then actually followed him over.

Qi Yue clapped his hands as he backed away.

The duck in front followed closely, and seeing this, the ducks behind also followed.

The ducklings haven't grown up yet, and they're still quite docile.

"Let's go to the reservoir."

Qi Yue turned and walked towards the reservoir.

The ducks all followed, forming a long line.

This scene was particularly amusing, and the tourists burst into laughter.

"This boss is amazing, he can even train ducks!"

"Haha, this is so sweet!"

"Where are you taking the ducks to play?"

"The ducks just followed him like that!"

Qi Yue led the ducks out of the petting zoo and headed towards the reservoir. He didn't walk fast, and the ducks could keep up.

The little yellow duck shook its head and looked left and right, but followed closely behind.

People found the scene amusing and followed it, filming the whole way.

One of the highlights of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area is that the animals here live very comfortably and are naturally close to humans.

Qi Yue arrived at the reservoir and looked at a group of little yellow ducks behind him.

These ducks are old enough to go into the water.

He gestured for the ducks to go play in the reservoir, but they looked at each other, quacking and chattering, none of them daring to go in.

Qi Yue simply squatted down, grabbed a little duck, and carefully placed it on the lake.

The duck's buoyancy is sufficient to support its body, so when placed on the lake, it floats like a small boat.

The little yellow duck was a bit nervous at first, but after touching the water, it gradually realized the fun of drifting and started to wander on its own.

Other little yellow ducks followed suit.

Some went into the water voluntarily, while others were placed on the lake by Qi Yue.

Ducks are born swimmers, and when a mother duck takes her ducklings into the water, they jump directly off the bridge.

Just make sure they come into contact with water when they are young.

People who can't swim are simply used to it; there's nothing they can do about it.

Seeing the little yellow ducks swimming on the lake, Qi Yue clapped his hands and watched them with ease.

You only need to bring the ducks here a few times, and then they will be able to come by themselves and go back on their own.

No extra worry is required.

Moreover, the reservoir has algae, small fish, insects, and snails, so there's no need to pay for feed.

When these ducks grow up, we can eat duck meat.

There's no other way; they're all meat ducks I bought, and they'll get too old if I don't eat meat soon.

Just like how rural families raise ducks, let the ducks have a happy childhood and adolescence.

After releasing the ducks, Qi Yue looked back and saw many tourists taking pictures with their phones.

He didn't mind at all, and even thought it was good to promote himself.

Originally, the plan was to develop this scenic area into a multi-functional luxury resort, but now it's been transformed into a down-to-earth family farm, which has its own unique charm.

We have to take it one step at a time.

Qi Yue took another stroll around the grassland area.

A little sika deer recognized him and came up to greet him.

Qi Yue thought it was cute and patted its head, and the little guy didn't resist.

He thought that the sika deer he was raising could be decorated, such as wearing a scarf or hanging a big red flower, which would look very nice.

It's for display anyway, so whatever looks good is fine.

After wandering around for a while, suddenly, the system notification sounded.

It turns out the bug-catching task is complete, and it's time to claim the reward.
