A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 80 No way, another one?

Qi Yue returned to his seat, and the "Creating Immortal" next to him immediately said:
"Dude, your luck is incredible! The very first fish you caught was the grand prize!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled:
"We were really lucky."

"I thought I wouldn't be able to catch any fish today."

Then, Qi Yue continued to bait the hook, cast the line, and wait.

What may seem like a simple action actually involves a lot of skill.

For example, the ratio of bait, the distance of casting, the size of the hook, etc.

All of this was meticulously calculated by Qi Yue.

It was specifically for catching arowana.

He was able to catch the golden arowana not only because of luck, but also because of his skill.

Qi Yue took a sip of cola and realized that it was all gone. He wasn't in a hurry, and just quietly looked at the shimmering lake.

Then, the situation returned to what it was before.

People around him were catching fish every now and then, but Qi Yue's hook didn't seem to be doing anything.

The event was very lively.

The area was full of tourists.

When everyone learned that Qi Yue had won first prize, they immediately spread the news and began to discuss it excitedly.

"Has anyone won an award?"

"It's quite a coincidence that the winner of the award is Mr. Qi, who is also the owner of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area."

"This resort copied Mr. Qi's idea, but Mr. Qi won the grand prize. How interesting!"

"Boss Qi is truly a remarkable person!"

In addition, in the live broadcast room of Youran Mountain Resort, netizens were discussing Qi Yue's news.

[Hey streamer, film Boss Qi a bit more! With such a huge following, why aren't you seizing this opportunity!]

[Haha, I missed it! I heard Boss Qi made 20? How come he knows everything!]

[I must say, Boss Qi is really a talented person!]

[They're here to cause trouble, but you can't say anything to them, it's hilarious!]

It's infuriating to think that all the major awards we host go to our competitors.

Seeing what was happening in the live broadcast room, the host didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only try to change the subject and pat other places.

He also consulted his boss, Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan instructed:
"Try not to mention him, just pretend he doesn't exist."

"Take more photos of the event."

Upon hearing this, the host followed the instructions.

Soon, news about Qi Yue gradually decreased, and everyone began to discuss other things.

The number of viewers in the live stream is increasing, thanks to the recent surge in popularity of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area. Many people who want to see similar events are drawn here.

Therefore, the number of viewers in the live stream is very large, already exceeding 2.

Jiang Chuan was very happy.

Anyway, we have to set aside a certain amount of money for promotion every year, and organizing a fishing event like this has been quite effective.

Moreover, he also found a fishing spot himself and participated in the activity.

Another hour passed.

Qi Yue still hadn't caught a single fish.

There are plenty of fish in this lake, and to not catch a single one is truly bad luck.

The two fishermen next to him had each caught at least five fish during that time.

Looking at Qi Yue's fishing float, the "fishing master" said again:

"How about we go somewhere else this time? You haven't moved an inch in the past hour."

"I reckon the fish have already eaten all the bait!"

"Some fish are very cunning; they take the bait but won't bite."

You need to take a closer look.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue replied casually:

"It's okay, I'll wait."

The baiting expert shook his head. "You can't do it this way. Do you think you can catch a second golden arowana?"

As he spoke, he scooped up a basin of bait and sprinkled it directly onto the lake surface, starting to bait the area again.

The fisherman on his other side saw this, frowned slightly, and muttered "idiot" under his breath. But he didn't make a sound, so the baiting expert couldn't hear him.

Just then, Qi Yue's fishing float suddenly moved again!
Just as Qi Yue noticed this, he heard several tourists shouting behind him:
"It moved! It moved! Boss Qi's fishing hook moved!"

"He finally caught a fish! I thought he was going to come back empty-handed!"

"Everyone else's fish are catching up non-stop, but his float hasn't moved much at all for an hour!"

"Haha, I finally caught one!"

Many people know Qi Yue and want to see more of what's behind him.

After all, Qi Yue is famous, so people naturally pay more attention to him.

As soon as Qi Yue's fishing float moved, the surrounding people's eyes immediately turned to him again.

Everyone just wanted to watch. As Qi Yue slowly reeled in his line, the fish drew closer and closer to the surface of the lake.

Judging from the feel of the line when reeling it in, Qi Yue concluded that it seemed to be another golden dragonfish this time.

"No way, you're so lucky."

"Again?"

A smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, the people around also noticed the situation on the lake.

"It looks golden!"

"Why is it gold again? No way!"

"Really? Are you coming again?"

When Qi Yue finally managed to reel the fish in, everyone's expression changed!

Because what Qi Yue caught was the second golden dragonfish!
"Holy crap! It really is a Golden Dragon Fish!"

"He caught it! He caught it! Boss Qi caught it again!"

"It's him again! This is the second one!"

"What incredible luck!"

"I hope there's no shady dealing involved!"

"It really is!"

People around started shouting.

All eyes turned to this side.

The organizers, hearing the commotion, also rushed over.

The host looked a little grim, but there was nothing he could do.

Such a big event, with so much money spent on promotion, and it's being broadcast live.

If I don't go to present the award, I really won't be able to save face.

So, the staff went to the edge of Qi Yue and began to check the authenticity of the fish.

This inspection took significantly longer than the last one.

Someone guessed their thoughts and immediately said:

"Is it really true? They've been testing it for so long, are they trying to renege on their promise?"

"I watched him catch it with my own eyes!"

"Don't you want to give it anymore?"

Upon hearing this, the host knew he couldn't let things continue like this. After a brief exchange with the staff, he grabbed the microphone and announced loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, after inspection by our staff, the second arowana has been caught!"

"Congratulations to this tourist for winning the million-dollar fishing prize!"

"Congratulations!"

Generally, the host will also conduct interactive interviews with the winning tourists, asking them how they feel about winning the award and their opinions on the resort.

However, he didn't interact much with Qi Yue at all.

After the verification was completed, he took Qi Yue to collect the prize money.

When Qi Yue went there, he was carrying a black shoulder bag, which was already a bit full. When he came back, the shoulder bag was bulging.

Inside are 40 fresh ones.

The process was so quick that it wasn't even broadcast live by the authorities.

This contradicts the scenic area's advertising.

But this is the only way the authorities can do; otherwise, Qi Yue would be the one who becomes famous.

Even so, the official live stream chat room has already exploded with excitement.

[Is it Boss Qi again? Is Boss Qi cheating?!]

This incredible luck is simply unbelievable!

[Haha, you dare to copy Boss Qi's idea? You can catch all the prizes!]

Boss Qi is ruthless!

The number of people in the live broadcast room is increasing.

Qi Yue's presence brought a large number of viewers to the live stream.

Of course, most of these netizens came for Qiyue, and although there were many of them, the proportion who actually became tourists at the resort was very small.

They were more interested in Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

After that, Qi Yue went fishing.

At this moment, a tourist caught the third golden arowana, and the officials immediately went over to verify, interview, and promote the scenic area.

The interactive session alone lasted for more than half an hour.

Tourists spoke highly of the scenic area.

In comparison, Qi Yue's award-winning process seemed rather uneventful.

Of course, this is normal.

For the resort, paying them is already considered a good deal.

Interactive elements should be avoided if possible.
