After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 713, Phoenix Hidden Lake and Yue Family Village, was broadcast successively.

They set off again, but because they needed to reach their destination before sunset, the convoy did not stop along the way.

The experienced driver drove along the winding mountain road for more than two hours straight. He looked up at the sun that had not yet set in the west and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"See the two characters 'Feng Yin' carved on that big rock by the roadside? We're almost there!"

His reminder made the group, who were tired from the long ride, perk up and turn to look out the window.

"I looked at the information about the filming location before, and there's a Fengyin Lake nearby. Is this it?"

"Yes, yes, several villages around here have developed along the lake. This lake, when viewed from above, looks like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The key is that right near the heart of the lake, there's a small island, and the villages on the island are filled with phoenix flowers, though they're not in bloom yet. If you come in June or July, it'll be absolutely stunning. But the scenery is beautiful now, it's beautiful all year round."

"Different periods have different kinds of beauty."

"Yes, yes, yes," the driver said, probably because the work was about to end and they had passed through the more dangerous mountain roads. He became unusually talkative. "You made the right choice in choosing to film your show here. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but there are also many local delicacies that you can't enjoy in other places."

"We came here for the delicious food and beautiful scenery."

"Then I hope you have a great time here," the driver said, slamming on the brakes and turning the steering wheel into a parking lot under construction on the side of the road.

"This is the parking lot for Yuejia Village. Yuejia Village is just ahead. The roads in the village are quite narrow, making it inconvenient for large vehicles to turn, so I can only drop you off here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Once the car came to a stop, Jiang Hanying was the first to push open the car door and get out. She then quickly ran to the roadside and waved.

Yuan Chaoyu, who got off the bus behind her, looked on in bewilderment and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you waving at?"

"Look, someone has come to pick us up."

Yuan Chaoyu rested his hand on his forehead, squinted, and looked in the direction Jiang Hanying was pointing. He could vaguely see someone driving a blue vehicle toward them.

"How can you be sure they're here to pick us up when you can't even see them clearly?"

“Yue Zhuo just messaged me to ask if I’m almost there so he can drive out and pick us up. It must be him.”

Seeing Jiang Hanying's confident expression, Yuan Chaoyu turned around and went to help carry the luggage.

Once everyone on the trip, along with their luggage, got off the bus, the staff had a small pickup truck that had been parked in the parking lot beforehand to transport everyone's luggage. On the other hand, the guests had to fend for themselves.

The four people in the video are guarding their luggage, anxiously watching the electric tricycle that is slowly driving towards them.

The live stream started so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Under a clear blue sky, with verdant mountains like a curtain, the setting sun cast long silhouettes of four figures waiting by the roadside—a scene perfectly suited for the opening of a promotional video.

Many people who had been waiting on the program's official account for the live stream to start saw this scene when they clicked into the live stream room.

[We're live now!]

[Finally, it's airing! Hooray!]

This scenery is truly beautiful. After staring at the computer all day, my eyes feel so much better now.

I can't imagine how happy I would be if I were actually there!

The guests all seemed a bit tired.

[What a joke! You've been traveling for almost a whole day, wouldn't you be tired?]

……

As the comments scrolled by, the scene abruptly changed again.

On a well-maintained country road, a sky-blue electric tricycle is slowly making its way uphill.

The background is a bit blurry, but you can still vaguely see a curtain-like expanse of azure at the end of the path, with scattered white houses and wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys in the setting sun.

What a beautiful house!

Is that blue expanse at the end of the road water? Or perhaps a small village by the southern sea?

[Very likely, the radiation at the beach is indeed quite strong. I went to the beach last year and got several shades darker from the sun; I still haven't recovered.]

[There are mountains behind me and the sea in front. I'm bad at geography, so where am I?] [I want to go!]

Is that Yue Zhuo driving the electric tricycle? Is he picking up other guests?

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, but this mode of transportation is certainly quite rustic!

But it seems... it might not be able to hold it all.

There should be enough room for luggage. As for the people, they've been traveling all day and probably just want to walk now.

[The culinary journey has finally begun!]

[Breaking news! The show "The Taste of Life" next door has just premiered!]

[The academic genius is back!]

[If you broadcast, I'll broadcast too; that's called not wanting to fall behind, haha!]

Let me use my spare phone to open another account and check it out.

[Me too, I use two accounts to enter two different live streams, compare them, and keep whichever is more exciting.]

Looking at it now, the scenery at the "Seeking Flavors" side is better, and the atmosphere is more comfortable. The guests at the "Taste" side were all vying to perform, making it a bit noisy and the atmosphere a little awkward.

[Jiang Hanying brought three familiar faces with her from the "Taste of the World" segment. The only one she wasn't familiar with, Guan Jing, was also a very easy-going person. It seems the five guests from the "Taste of the World" segment weren't very familiar with each other, but things might get better once they get to know each other better.]

【Let's take another look.】

The live stream chat was buzzing with discussion, and Yue Zhuo finally drove the electric tricycle he borrowed from the village chief uphill to Jiang Hanying and the others.

He pulled the handbrake and jumped out of the car nimbly. "Sister, Sister Guan, Sister Xiaoyu, Brother Chi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Upon hearing the way Yue Zhuo addressed him, Yuan Chaoyu couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hanying.

This is definitely following Jiang Hanying's lead!
After hesitating for a moment, I still didn't say anything to correct him.

Guan Jing waved her hand with a smile, "No, no, the scenery here is too beautiful, I haven't seen enough yet."

"It's even more beautiful inside!"

Jiang Hanying waved her hand: "Come on, move the luggage!"

There were seven suitcases in total, which completely filled the not-so-large truck bed.

It's definitely not safe for people to sit on it.

Of course, no one intended to sit there.

I've had enough of traveling by car all day.

“Let’s go, we’ll walk into the village and enjoy the sunset along the way,” Guan Jing said, taking the lead to clear the path.

The camera then shifts to four figures slowly walking down a gentle slope into the village, followed by a small electric tricycle carrying a full load of suitcases.

[The pace on the "Taste Exploration" side is a bit slow; the guests on the other side have already arrived at their accommodations and started doing the tasks assigned by the production team.]

[Why are you rushing me? If you think it's too slow, go watch the live stream next door.]

[I almost forgot this was a live variety show; the camera work made it look like a travel documentary.]

[The title "A Journey of Culinary Delights" suggests that this is a slow-paced variety show focused on food and travel, so a slow pace isn't unusual.]

I think it's just right; it creates a sense of immersion.

[Don't rush, it's only been airing for a short time.]

The guests weren't in a hurry, and they strolled leisurely into the village, stopping to rest and admire the beautiful hand-painted murals on the houses along the roadside.

Until two elderly women dressed in local clothing walked up ahead.

[A local villager who accidentally wandered into the shot?]

[Or was he a specially arranged NPC by the production team?]
