A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 79 The first winner has been chosen!
Qi Yue waited by the lake.

Looking around, it's filled with fishing lines.

There is a stone bridge in the middle of the lake. The bridge is quite wide, and many people stand on the stone bridge to watch the excitement.

The resort even hired an online celebrity to do a live stream.

This event was indeed very lively.

However, with such a large investment, it's uncertain whether we can recoup our costs.

Soon, people started catching fish.

Whenever someone's fishing float starts to bob, everyone's eyes immediately turn to it.

His eyes held a hint of envy, and he couldn't wait to see the result.

However, so far they've only caught grass carp and black carp, and the people around often breathe a sigh of relief, then laugh and say:
"What a pity, what a pity."

Qi Yue was fishing steadily.

Knowing the outcome, he wasn't worried at all.

Just then, the float of the calamari fry he had baited next to him moved. He happily shouted "Fish caught!" and began to slowly reel in the line.

His movements were quite large, and everyone around him looked at the lake.

Qi Yue also looked towards the lake.
A short while later, the fish was caught; it was just an ordinary grass carp.

"What a pity, it's grass carp!"

"Why is it grass carp?!"

He seemed somewhat annoyed, but actually he was showing off a bit.

This person has a strong desire to show off.

Qi Yue simply watched calmly.

About ten minutes later, the man's fishing float moved again.

"Fish again! Fish again!"

He shouted excitedly.

Then I put the line back in again, but unfortunately it was still grass carp.

He sighed again, put his hands on his hips, looked at the fish in his hand, clicked his tongue, and had an expression that said, "I didn't perform well today."

Qi Yue waited quietly.

At that moment, a fellow angler on the other side of Qi Yue also caught a fish.

Qi Yue remained safe and sound.

It wasn't that he was unlucky, but rather that the area below his fishing hook was in the water layer where arowanas roam.

There are relatively few other fish in this water layer.

Therefore, it is more difficult to catch other fish.

Given the size of the lake, the chances of a golden arowana swimming over are quite low, so he needs to wait.

He took a sip of his cola, basking in the sunshine, and felt quite warm.

Not long after, the baiting expert caught another fish, this time a grass carp, and still no luck.

He was quite satisfied, but then noticed that Qi Yue hadn't caught any fish yet, so he gave him a knowing look and reminded him:
"Dude, let's find another seat."

"Come to this spot where I've baited the area; there are lots of fish there, and it's easy to catch them."

"You can't just wait in one spot while fishing, or you won't catch any fish."

He seemed very generous.

Qi Yue smiled calmly and replied:

"It's okay, I'm fine here."

Seeing him say that, the man sighed:
"It's not easy to catch fish here. Let's try another place."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Yue's fishing float suddenly moved.

Ripples spread outwards from the float.

Qi Yue's expression changed slightly.

Fishing!
Then, he began to slowly and deliberately reel in the fishing hook.

People nearby, seeing this, also looked towards the lake.

The baiting expert next to him feigned admiration and said, "Finally, we caught one!"

As Qi Yue continued to reel in the fishing line, the fish drew closer and closer to the surface of the lake.

Soon, everyone could see what the fish looked like.

A puzzled look appeared on someone's face; why was this fish so golden?

As the fish continued to be pulled up, the golden light became increasingly pronounced.

"Why is it gold?"

"It really looks golden!"

"Wow, I caught the jackpot?"

"real or fake?"

Several anglers nearby stood up, wanting to get a better look.

The burrowing fairy next to him also stood up, his face full of disbelief.

Qi Yue continued his movements calmly and steadily. The fish had little strength to resist and could be easily caught.

In no time, he had fished the fish out of the water.

All you can see is the fish shimmering with gold, reflecting a golden light under the sun.

It's a golden arowana!

A hint of joy appeared in Qi Yue's eyes.

I'm having a lucky day.

I caught a golden arowana on my very first fishing trip! What a steal!
People around, having clearly seen the fish's appearance, exclaimed in surprise:

"It's caught it! It's caught it! Someone caught it!"

"It's an arowana! We really caught it!"

"What incredible luck! I made 20 yuan straight away!"

"He must be the first person to win the big prize today!"

As people began to discuss the matter, more and more people turned to look in this direction.

Tourists' attention was drawn to it.

Qi Yue's surroundings instantly became lively.

The organizers also witnessed this scene.

The event host immediately walked over, accompanied by two photographers.

Such events are naturally live-streamed, and the live streams are quite popular, attracting several thousand viewers, sometimes even reaching 1.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our first winning tourist has been selected!"

"Let's go and see for ourselves."

The host said to the live broadcast camera.

Upon hearing this, viewers in the official live stream of Youran Mountain Resort became interested.

Soon, the host and several staff members came to Qi Yue's side.

Upon closer inspection, Qi Yue had just removed the golden dragonfish from the hook and placed it into the bucket.

"Here it is, I just caught it."

"Let's check if it's real or fake."

Qi Yue said to the staff.

Next, the resort staff began to verify whether it was true or false.

At the same time, many netizens in the live broadcast room looked at Qi Yue and found him increasingly familiar.

[Why does this award-winning audience member look so familiar? I feel like I've seen them somewhere before!]

[Isn't that Boss Qi? Boss Qi from Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area, he's been quite popular lately!]

[It really is Boss Qi, no, what's he doing fishing at the resort!]

I remember he organized the first fishing event, right? Someone else copied his idea!

[Haha, is Boss Qi here to cause trouble? He actually managed to catch us!]

The live stream room instantly became lively.

As these netizens discussed the matter, other netizens also came to understand what was going on.

It turns out that the winner was the owner of another scenic spot.

Now you go to someone else's resort to participate in an event and win a big prize?

What's the difference between this and pooping on someone else's head?
At this point, the staff were unaware of the situation; they simply verified that the fish was fine and declared the prize valid.

The host immediately announced loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first lucky winner has been chosen!"

"We award prizes directly on-site at our event!"

"It is notarized simultaneously by a notary office."

"Let's now present this tourist with an award!"

Almost everyone's eyes were turned towards this side.

Qi Yue smiled slightly and nodded to everyone.

I must say, winning an award feels pretty good.

He didn't use a targeted fishing card this time; he really caught it on his own.

They were really lucky.

He was very satisfied.

Next, Qi Yue and the host went to the transparent safe containing two million yuan in cash.

Several security guards were protecting the scene.

The surrounding area was densely packed with people.

Everyone's faces were filled with envy and curiosity.

Qi Yue was carrying an empty black shoulder bag, which he used to carry his money.

The award was presented by Jiang Chuan, the owner of the resort; it was definitely his responsibility to do this.

"Mr. Qi, congratulations! You're so lucky."

"I actually won an award."

This time, Jiang Chuan's smile disappeared, and his voice sounded somewhat cold.

"Sometimes you just get lucky."

Qi Yue smiled naturally.

Then, the safe was opened, and Jiang Chuan took out twenty bundles of banknotes and handed them to Qi Yue one bundle at a time.

He now regrets setting the prize money at 20.

Setting the limit at 10 is more than enough.

Qi Yue took the money without counting it, put it all into his black shoulder bag, and then returned to his fishing spot.

It's only a little past 11 o'clock, and he's already been fishing for over an hour.

There are less than 5 hours left.

Fish slowly.
