A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

The rewards from Chapter 89's Favorability Chest are becoming increasingly diverse!

By the afternoon, the little golden eagle's wings were already bandaged, and it was lying in its nest.

The little tabby cat curiously peered closer to take a look.

It seemed to be saying:

Bro, why do your wings have a new skin?
The little golden eagle was also tired, so it lay down in its nest and ignored it.

The two little ones are getting along well now and have a pretty good relationship.

At first, Qi Yue was worried that the tabby cat, being a domestic shorthair, might be too bloodthirsty and hunt small birds. Later, he found that this was completely unnecessary.

The tabby cat has a very good personality and is very gentle.

Of course, what Qi Yue didn't know was that there were several domestic cats around the scenic area, which had already been taught a lesson by the little tabby cat long ago.

This guy may seem cute and adorable, but he's actually a true cat king at heart.

He has top-notch fighting skills.

However, in front of Qi Yue, he always acted like a "good son".

Qi Yue returned to the scenic area only after dealing with the little golden eagle.

After all, the drone was still running and the live stream was still going on.

[Brother Qi, was that a golden eagle just now? It looked too big!]

[Anyway, it's a bird of prey!]

[You dare to rescue them? That's too risky!]

[The streamer is really amazing!]

The comments kept scrolling.

Qi Yue looked at the comments and explained:

"It's a golden eagle. The scenic area has the responsibility of protecting wild animals, just like the red-crowned crane and the Chinese merganser."

"And it will become more and more standardized."

“People from the environmental and forestry departments came to inspect the area before.”

"In addition to commercial operations, the scenic area will create a good environment for the animals."

"My philosophy is that humans and nature should live in harmony."

What he said was very down-to-earth and very appealing.

From this perspective, Qi Yue's live streams are quite effective, and unlike those of other internet celebrities, he is more down-to-earth and stable.

This is more authentic, and more people like it.

Afterwards, Qi Yue went to take a look at Mingyue Lake.

The walking path near the lake was full of people, while some people were strolling around on the rubber running track.

The lakeside road is wide enough that there are plenty of empty spaces, so you can still clearly see the flock of mergansers.

The most beautiful sight is when the merganser takes flight and lands on the lake.

They descended against the wind, keeping their wings spread as they approached the lake, as if they were holding parachutes.

Several of them were lined up in a row, and they were all like that.

As they descend, they touch the lake surface and use their feet to push off, creating two splashes to cushion their fall.

Once they reach a similar speed, they sit down in the lake and slowly come to a stop, mimicking a swimming motion.

Her posture was elegant and graceful.

Every time this happens, the surrounding tourists gasp in amazement.

They would also excitedly take photos.

It is a unique landscape feature of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

You can't see this anywhere else.

Even at 6 p.m., as dusk fell, the lake was still shimmering, but the tourists had already left in small groups.

Qi Yue returned to the courtyard, ate dinner, and prepared to clean up his spoils.

Today is another day of harvest.

Qi Yue first chose to claim the task reward.

The reward for this mission is a random scenic building.

The rewards are also divided into blue (common), purple (rare), and gold (legendary).

He chose to begin, and all he saw were blue, purple, and gold lights flashing alternately. When he finally made his decision, a purple light appeared on the system panel.

[Award Awarded: A brand-new outdoor parking lot renovation project.]

The outdoor parking lot will be transformed into a brand-new, modern parking facility, divided into zones and equipped with an access control system.

Qi Yue was quite satisfied with the system reward.

Just when I was worried that the parking lot was still a bit desolate and the cement surface was cracked, I was drawn for this project.

It really was luck.

Next, he checked the Favorability Chest.

I've accumulated three favor chests this week.

The scenic area has indeed become a hit.

Qi Yue chooses to open the Favorability Chest:
[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

Please select your reward:

【1. Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft: Embroidery】

2. Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft: Iron Flower Making

3. Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft: Papermaking

Three skills appeared in front of Qi Yue.

Qi Yue looked at the reward and found it somewhat strange.

"Intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship?"

"I never expected to win this reward."

"Now some large scenic spots have iron flower performances."

"I will organize similar events in the future."

"I can participate myself then."

Qi Yue chose the second reward, which granted him the skill of "Iron Flower" (a type of metalwork).

As a scenic area owner, Qi Yue pays attention to the development of scenic areas of all sizes across the country.

There still needs to be some professionalism.

He understands that the best way for large scenic spots to retain tourists is through various performances.

It has to be something that people find interesting.

The reason Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area is attracting visitors now is because the animals' "performances" have gone viral on social media.

However, this hype will gradually fade. When that time comes, you'll definitely need to have some solid "trump cards" to play.

Qi Yue chose to open the second favor chest.

[Host has opened the Favorability Chest and received a random reward.]

Please select your reward:

【1. Architectural drawings: Ping'an County Town Gate Tower】

【2. Architectural Blueprints: The City Tower from A Chinese Odyssey】

[3. Architectural blueprints: The city tower of the Empty City Stratagem from Romance of the Three Kingdoms]

This time, Qi Yue pulled out three architectural blueprints.

The rewards from the Favorability Chest are getting more and more outrageous.

Qi Yue looked at the reward and was both amused and exasperated.

"It will be useful."

"The Empty City Stratagem and the Safe County Town are suitable for performances, and tourists can change clothes and take photos at the city gate of A Chinese Odyssey."

"They're all very good."

Qi Yue pondered.

After thinking it over, he finally chose the blueprints for the city gate tower of Ping'an County.

The city gate of "A Chinese Odyssey" already exists, and a photography culture for taking pictures of Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia has been created there. It would be difficult for this small scenic spot to imitate it.

It would be better to change it to Ping'an County, and then stage a scene of attacking Ping'an County.

With a good design, it can even incorporate interactive elements for visitors.

These days, tourists like all sorts of unusual things.

For example, there is a tourist attraction that depicts Zhen Huan's exile to Ningguta, where tourists wear the same prison uniform as Zhen Huan and are escorted a distance by prison guards.

Many tourists enjoy it very much.

If the scenic area could develop a program about attacking Ping'an County, that would be great too.

Of course, this is on the premise that there are other places, at least the current region focuses on harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and will not engage in these kinds of gunfights.

“It’s not easy to develop, as the investment is quite large, and it’s difficult to get tourists to interact.”

"We can't really let them bombard the county town with Italian cannons."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

Then he opened the third favorability chest, and the rewards were:

[Outdoor landscape: 1 golden ginkgo tree]

[Outdoor landscape: 1 red maple tree]

[Outdoor landscaping: 1 pink crape myrtle tree]

The prizes this time were three outdoor plant landscapes, all of which were quite nice, but Qi Yue ultimately chose the ginkgo tree.

He plans to transplant it at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.

It looks beautiful.

After taking stock of the income, Qi Yue went to sleep.

The park was closed the next day, and some construction projects still needed to be completed, so construction was underway at the park.

The construction team for the parking lot has moved in and is busy completing it. It's the same construction company as before; they have all the relevant design drawings, so they can just build according to them.

The landscaping company that transplanted the ginkgo trees also came over and busied themselves planting the ginkgo trees according to the locations planned by Qi Yue.

The scenic area continues to transform.

Then, Qi Yue began to plan new activities.

He couldn't always wait for assignments; he also had many ideas of his own.

For example, the skill he just acquired, iron flower making.

Qi Yue wanted to put on a performance of iron flower fireworks.

He hopes that this event can be held more frequently in the future, if possible.

Some scenic spots have hundreds of performances with a dedicated schedule.

The Qingfeng Mountain scenic area will gradually have one as well.

Intangible cultural heritage is quite popular nowadays, and iron flower making is especially popular, but many people have never seen it in person.

Since tourists choose to buy tickets, the scenic area should naturally provide them with a novel experience.

Therefore, Qi Yue began to look for a team that could perform iron flower stunts.

He hoped that it would be available locally, so that it would be convenient for them to come over in the future.

He searched on a short video platform and found that it was indeed called "Qingyuan Society," a folk art group that performs for outsiders.

These include lion dances and iron flower performances.

Their account features their past iron flower performances, which look quite good.

Qi Yue contacted them immediately.

At this very moment, Qingyuan Society.

Many people in the club are practicing their skills diligently, and almost all of them are young people.

These days, it's these young talents who can truly carry forward and promote intangible cultural heritage.

"Haven't we received any projects yet? It's been so long since we've had any work."

A young man couldn't help but complain.

“You say our skills are not bad, so why do those event organizers always prefer to hire those few famous art groups?”

"Isn't our performance better than theirs?"

Hearing his words, another, more composed-looking young man responded:
"You know they're already famous. They built their fame little by little, so it's normal for them to have a lot of gigs."

"If we practice well, we'll be able to produce work every month sooner or later!"

This young man is named Peng Hai, the captain of the iron flower troupe.

He was very strong and had a somewhat honest face, which showed that he had trained hard.

Peng Hai has been practicing iron flower making for many years, and now he can easily lead his fellow apprentices in performing.

Although he still had to wear a cloak and hat, that was also his craft.

After all, only highly experienced veterans dare to go shirtless and perform ironwork with bare arms.

That's too difficult; very few people can do it.

There is some good news today.

The senior student in charge of the club's business department, who was in charge of operating the account, told him that a scenic spot owner wanted to invite him to participate in the iron flower performance.

Peng Hai was finally able to produce some work and was filled with anticipation.

Thank you An Yu Keyan for the donation.
