A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Octopus 5: Have we broken any divine laws?
Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area, mountain reservoir.

At this moment, the area around the reservoir is densely packed with people.

It's as if there's a dragon palace in this reservoir, and heavenly soldiers and generals are sent to attack it.

It's pretty much the same; anglers are really eager to see the lively fish jumping around in the reservoir.

They felt that time was passing very slowly.

It's not even 10 o'clock yet.

It feels like ants are crawling on my body.

Fish: Have we broken any divine laws? There are so many of us?

A lot of people were watching the spectacle.

At 9:40, Qi Yue picked up the microphone and reappeared in people's sight.

After all, he is the organizer and the owner of the scenic area.

He has the final say on the interpretation of this event.

With such a large-scale event, countless eyes are watching him.

Only by performing well at this time can we gain people's favor and thus improve the reputation of the scenic spot.

In addition, on a viewing platform at the reservoir, there is a tripod with a mobile phone on it.

The mobile phone was used to live stream the event on the official account of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

Since we're going to hold an event, we definitely need to do a good job of online promotion.

Even though there are only a few dozen people in the live stream, it's better than nothing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the competition is about to begin."

"Let me reiterate here that my million-dollar prize fishing event for golden arowana is absolutely real and reliable!"

"Some people are questioning whether there are shills involved in this event, and whether the prize money is all won by shills."

"Everyone can rest assured that you are free to interview anyone who wins the prize money."

"I think whoever wins can share the victory with everyone."

"Thank you all in advance."

Facing thousands of eyes, Qi Yue spoke eloquently and logically.

They give off a very trustworthy vibe.

This is what makes it so valuable.

After all, many people tremble when speaking in front of dozens of people, let alone in front of thousands.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone eager to chime in immediately shouted:

"Don't worry, as long as I win the award, I'll definitely tell everyone! Everyone has to know!"

"That's more like it. I can understand some people not being smug when they win awards, but there are definitely many people who will definitely be smug when they win awards."

"I'm absolutely going to show off!"

"The boss is generous; we trust you!"

Hearing many people echo his sentiments, Qi Yue smiled and said again:

"I have prepared all the arowanas. They are all special arowanas that I raised myself, and each one is marked."

"There are no golden arowanas in the reservoir so far."

"If anyone secretly brings a golden arowana and cheats by saying they caught it themselves, there will be no prize."

"I'll bring the golden arowana up in a bit, and everyone can be my witnesses."

Qi Yue did this to prevent some people from trying to be clever.

To be honest, there are too many people trying to be clever these days.

Upon hearing that there is a reward of 10 yuan for catching a golden arowana, many people would definitely prepare a golden arowana in their boxes in advance.

If you just say you caught it yourself, it'll be hard to explain.

Qi Yue's considerations were very thorough.

"Don't worry, boss, we accept this rule. Only the Golden Dragon Fish you marked counts!"

"This step was necessary. I even saw someone bring in a golden dragonfish. How sneaky!"

"The notary is here too. I want to remind everyone that using fake Golden Dragon Fish to redeem prize money is fraud. Fraudulently obtaining 10 yuan is a serious crime. Think it over!"

Everyone started discussing it again.

Upon hearing this, many people's faces stiffened.

They actually had the idea of ​​exchanging fake Golden Dragon Fish for prize money.

But how could anyone find a loophole in such a big event?

At this point, Qi Yue saw that it was almost time, so he had the hired employees bring out the Golden Dragon Fish.

In a single tank, ten golden arowanas came into view.

Each fish looked golden and vibrant.

Such a fish is something that most people wouldn't be able to produce.

Farmed arowanas often don't have this golden color, and wild arowanas rarely grow to this size.

The participants were stunned by the sight of the large, golden fish.

"What a huge golden arowana!"

"Wow, this fish must be worth over a thousand yuan!"

"Wow, the prize is here! I'm definitely going to catch it!"

"It's here! It's finally starting!" Many people took out their phones to film.

This event is truly captivating.

The anglers have caught so many mandarin fish that they've turned into topmouth gudgeons!
I've never encountered an event like this before; this is a huge win!

Everyone was getting more and more excited.

"Everyone, you can only cast your line after all the fish have been released. Anyone who casts their line early will be disqualified."

"Everyone, please wait a little longer."

Qi Yue maintained order during the event.

He started walking around the reservoir and placed a golden arowana in each of the 10 locations on the reservoir.

Everyone clearly saw the arowana swim into the water, wag its tail, and disappear.

The prize is in the reservoir.

Everyone can see it clearly.

The more people looked at it, the more excited they became.

Once all the fish were in place, and as the time drew near, Qi Yue picked up the microphone and shouted:

"Everyone, the event is now starting!"

"Everyone, let's start fishing!"

People have been waiting for this for a long time.

The bait is all ready, just waiting to cast the line.

Upon hearing Qi Yue's words, everyone could no longer resist. They all baited their hooks and cast their lines to start fishing.

Of course, some people have rather unusual fishing methods.

For example, the "baiting master" is someone who throws out half a sack of bait to create a feeding area before fishing.

Anyone who fishes next to this kind of person is probably going to be unlucky.

There are also "complaining kids," "irritable old men," and "fishing masters," etc. Fishing next to these people is also very disappointing.

Qi Yue, on the other hand, seemed quite content, calmly patrolling in circles.

He was thinking:

"Everyone, let's work harder and catch all the golden dragonfish specified by the system."

"It all depends on you guys."

Qi Yue made quite a bit of money from this event.

Take tickets for example. Even if everyone pays 400 yuan for 12 hours, if 500 people buy all the tickets, that's still 20 yuan in ticket revenue.

Moreover, many people buy tickets for two hours at a time, so a 12-hour ticket would cost 480 yuan.

It will only be more than 20.

Even without considering the bonus, he still made a profit.

Soon, people started catching fish.

After all, there are plenty of fish in the reservoir, and the reservoir environment is very good, so the fish are very active and the success rate of fishing is high.

"Fish caught! Fish caught!"

"I hope it's a golden dragonfish!"

An experienced angler's float began to bob, and he excitedly played the fish and reeled in the line, hoping to catch a golden arowana.

However, when they caught it, it turned out to be just a big grass carp.

The man wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was extremely excited.

The most satisfying feeling when fishing is when the fish floats and you finally catch it.

And the addition of the possibility of winning 10 yuan makes it even more exciting.

This feeling is truly captivating.

Just one word: cool!

The area around the reservoir was unusually lively.

Qi Yue was strolling around the reservoir when several tourists saw him and asked with smiles:

"Boss, if someone catches a golden arowana, will you feel bad?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue also laughed.

"To be honest, I can't wait for everyone to catch one!"

"It would be best if they were all caught."

The tourists were somewhat surprised to hear him say that.

This boss is a bit peculiar.

Losing money and still happy?
Is it really a wealthy person doing charity work?

Amazing!
Qi Yue just smiled.

Everyone assumed that Qi Yue was a rich second-generation and didn't care about money.

In reality, he is now tens of millions in debt and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

They are truly "second-generation debtors".

But what Qi Yue said was true; he couldn't wait for the tourists to catch all the fish.

I'll collect the reward from the system later and pay off this month's loan first.
