A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 84 Luck Strikes? A Protected Animal Lands in the Scenic Area!
The lakeside running track was completed in just two days.

The road surface is smooth, and the pedestrian walkway and running track are clearly distinguished by color, resulting in a surprisingly good effect.

"Boss Qi, just contact me whenever you need anything."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but among the construction companies in the city, none are more efficient or have higher standards than us."

During the project acceptance inspection, the manager patted his chest and assured Qi Yue.

Qi Yue examined it carefully and found that he really wasn't lying.

The quality of this project is indeed quite good.

After a thorough inspection, I couldn't find a single flaw.

"Okay, no problem, it passes inspection."

"You can pay the balance."

Qi Yue immediately agreed.

Hearing this, the manager was genuinely excited.

After all these years in the industry, this is the first time I've seen such a straightforward client.

This really is my dad!
This collaboration was very successful, and the company will certainly spare no effort in supporting any future projects at the scenic area.

This runway is indeed well-built.

It is connected to the roads within the scenic area.

You can walk along the scenic avenue all the way here.

Qi Yue planned to name the reservoir, but it couldn't just be called a reservoir.

After thinking for a while, he named the reservoir "Bright Moon Lake".

Because the reservoir is roughly round, it looks like a full moon when viewed from above.

The reservoir has been officially renamed Mingyue Lake.

Because it has not been disturbed by humans, tall reeds grow around the reservoir, preserving its original ecology.

Such an environment is actually very suitable for wading birds.

Qi Yue is very satisfied with the changes in the scenic area.

Even though it's only changed a little, it's good that it's constantly changing.

Tomorrow, tourists will have another novel experience.

He tried running on the track himself, and Xiao Huang ran happily behind him.

I must say, it was actually quite enjoyable.

For running enthusiasts, this is also a great place for leisure and entertainment.

That evening, Qi Yue checked the system and found that there was only one favorability chest.

The accumulation rate of high-level favorability chests is still too slow.

He originally intended to wait before opening it, but ultimately couldn't resist.

"Let's open it first."

Qi Yue chose to activate.

[Host chooses to open the Favorability Chest]

The reward information appears on the system panel.

To his surprise, the system did not present any rewards for him to choose from.

Normally, the system panel will display three rewards.

[Congratulations, host, on receiving a special reward: the lucky arrival of Bright Moon Lake.]

Then, the system sent another notification.

Qi Yue was slightly taken aback upon seeing this notification.

Is Mingyue Lake blessed with good fortune?

What is this again?
He studied it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up and went to sleep.

The next day, the scenic area was open for business again.

The business was closed for the first two days, but today the number of tourists has increased dramatically.

However, it seemed that no one noticed the change in the scenic area's running track.

After all, it's just a road; most people are more interested in the little pink pig, the Goose F4, the black and white rabbit, and so on.

Many locals, however, strolled around Mingyue Lake, enjoying the tranquility and comfort.

Life should slow down; go feel the breeze in the mountains and fields, and look at the moon in the sky.

Unfortunately, most people's lives are too busy.

Therefore, taking a stroll in a park on the outskirts of the city when you have some free time can help you relax.

At this moment, many tourists are strolling around the running track around Mingyue Lake.

They looked out over the lake and could see a group of ducklings swimming in a row.

The picture looks quite nice.

It is a rare sight.

Just then, someone looked up and seemed to see something flying.

"Look over there, what a huge bird!"

A person pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

"Where is it? Let me see."

Another person responded.

He looked up and, upon closer inspection, realized they were indeed two large birds.

Judging from their appearance, these two birds seem to be landing on the lake.

The large bird fell at an extremely fast speed.

At first, no one thought anything of it, but when they saw the bird's shape clearly, the tourists were just dazzled.

Black and white color scheme, with a touch of red on the head.

Isn't that a red-crowned crane?
"Holy crap, red-crowned cranes! They're red-crowned cranes!"

"I thought I was seeing things! It really is a red-crowned crane!"

"My goodness! There are red-crowned cranes in this scenic area!"

"Where did Boss Qi get this from?!"

The tourists gasped in surprise.

As people shouted, more and more people noticed the commotion.

They all gathered around.

There were two red-crowned cranes in total, which landed in a place with more aquatic plants by the lake.

The lake shore in this area is concave, with large areas of reeds outside, and the road is quite far from the lake.

To ensure a smooth runway curve, the runway was made to be longer. As a result, a wide wetland area was created here.

Two red-crowned cranes landed here.

After they landed, they tilted their necks back, flapped their wings, and moved with an elegant posture, appearing noble and mysterious.

Then, as if they were communicating, the two red-crowned cranes moved closer to each other with light, graceful steps, and then snuggled together.

As first-class protected animals and well-known birds in China, these red-crowned cranes are simply too beautiful, like two elves.

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

"This scenic spot is amazing!"

"I can't believe I saw red-crowned cranes here!"

"This is outrageous! I remember red-crowned cranes living in wetlands and lakes in the north, like in the Northeast or deep in the grasslands. How did they end up here?!"

"That's normal. Every year around October, red-crowned cranes go to Jiangxi Yancheng, which is this area. However, they are all in wetland reserves, so we usually can't see them."

More and more tourists gathered around.

Everyone was very well-mannered; they all stood on the side of the road and didn't stand too close together.

People took out their phones to take pictures.

Another pair of big stars have arrived at Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

At this very moment, Qi Yue is watching Xiao Huang drive a car in the scenic area.

There were many people surrounding him, so he had to keep up.

Just then, Qi Yue noticed the commotion over Mingyue Lake.

He looked towards Bright Moon Lake.

"what happened?"

"Why are there so many people gathered here!"

He would definitely pay attention to any unexpected situations that might arise at the scenic area.

Therefore, Qi Yue immediately quickened his pace and headed towards Mingyue Lake.

The景区 staff were also looking in this direction.

Security guards Zhang Long and Zhao Hu both came over.

Qi Yue came to the track, wanting to see what was going on inside, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

But he could hear the tourists talking.

Several tourists saw Qi Yue and immediately said:

"Boss Qi, a red-crowned crane has landed by the lake. How did you find it?"

Did you buy it with your own money?

"Red-crowned cranes are so beautiful!"

Hearing what everyone said, Qi Yue looked completely bewildered.

Red-crowned crane?
He then realized that the commotion was caused by a red-crowned crane landing there.

However, he also felt that the questions asked by the tourists were somewhat outrageous.

Can you just buy red-crowned cranes?

This is also a case of someone who will spend his entire life in prison.

Qi Yue recalled the reward he received from opening the treasure chest yesterday: Good fortune had descended upon Mingyue Lake.

Is this reward referring to red-crowned cranes?

This is amazing!
Qi Yue quickly squeezed his way in, and once inside the crowd, he indeed saw two red-crowned cranes in the shallow water, heads down, searching for something.

One of the red-crowned cranes explored the nearby reeds, seemingly searching for a suitable place to build its nest.

Qi Yue realized that this pair of red-crowned cranes could become the star animals of the scenic area.

If a lucky star falls from the sky, then it must be protected.

"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, go and get the guard belt."

"Shelp off this area."

"These two are wild red-crowned cranes, which are Class I protected animals in China and need to be protected."

"Don't get too close or disturb them."

Qi Yue hurriedly gave instructions.

Tourists should avoid getting too close, lest they scare the red-crowned cranes away; otherwise, it would be a loss.

However, the two red-crowned cranes seemed completely unconcerned about being watched by people, and simply continued to build their nests and search for food by the lake.

They must have been alone, or separated from their group to live independently, and eventually chose this place.

They may be resting here briefly before heading to the tribe's habitat.

But in any case, Qi Yue has a responsibility to protect them.

Soon, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu brought over the warning tape and warning posts.

Qi Yue quickly directed the two men to set up the cordon and isolate the area.

You can just look at it from the lakeside road; it won't obstruct your view.

The tourists were all excited as they watched the two red-crowned cranes move so gracefully.

Everyone is very satisfied with this, and their positive impression of the scenic area is rapidly increasing.

Qi Yue was also watching from the side.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

The presence of red-crowned cranes here indicates that the scenic area has a good environment and good feng shui.

Moreover, Qi Yue also decided that he must protect Mingyue Lake in the future.

He has no immediate plans to develop the lake, such as boating or building stone bridges.

If that's the case, tourists are likely to leave some trash in the lake.

It's fine to let tourists enjoy the scenery and take a stroll around.

Qi Yue stood in the crowd, and just then, a sudden gasp of surprise rang out again.

Upon closer inspection, another red-crowned crane landed overhead.

Moreover, four red-crowned cranes landed this time.

"More red-crowned cranes have arrived!"

"My God, this place is incredible!"

"Great fortune has descended upon us!"

"Red-crowned cranes are very intelligent animals. Could it be that this scenic area has really experienced a spiritual revival?"

"I've felt something was off about this place for a while now!"

People gasped in amazement as they saw the beautiful red-crowned cranes land.
