A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

This winter, the popularity of the Ice and Snow World has swept the internet.

No one expected the scenic area to become so popular.

Qingfeng Mountain has created another miracle.

Many reporters even came specifically to interview him.

When interviewed, Qi Yue simply smiled and said:

"I want to emphasize here that the reason why the Ice and Snow World is so popular is because the scenic area itself is very well done and full of fun."

"It just hasn't become popular because it lacks promotion."

"I'm just letting more people see this, that's all."

Then, Qi Yue disappeared from the internet.

Since the Ice and Snow World no longer needed him to do anything, he returned to Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area and began preparations for its opening during the Spring Festival.

The scenic area is as beautiful as ever.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Tie run and play in the empty scenic area every day, while Qi Yue goes to inspect Qunyu Pavilion and Tengwang Pavilion from time to time.

This is the biggest highlight of the scenic area when it opens next year.

Qi Yue spent the rest of the time playing games in his room.

Sometimes he would invite Zhao Rou and Lin Ran along.

When he went out to inspect, the employees would all look at him.

Everyone noticed that a little sparrow always perched on Qi Yue's shoulder. This guy wasn't afraid of anyone else and just boldly stood there.

So cute.

The Tengwang Pavilion has been built and stands in the river leading from the ancient village to Feixian City.

It is magnificent and domineering.

It has become one of the best embellishments of the scenic area.

"Boss, how about adding an activity to this place? Anyone who can recite the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng will be rewarded with food and points."

Li Qingshan accompanied Qi Yue and offered his own ideas.

The pavilion is magnificent, and from its top, one can see the entire Qingyun Sect.

Qi Yue shook his head, "No, our Tengwang Pavilion and the actual Tengwang Pavilion are only in the same style, but there are many differences in the details."

"Doing it this way makes us look like a knock-off, trying to ride on someone else's popularity."

"It's fine as a scenic pavilion."

"We'll change the name to Qingyun Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan immediately nodded.

Many details of this pavilion were modified during its construction.

This wasn't too difficult for architect Lei Xiao.

The building is magnificent and imposing, with several tea rooms on the middle floor, where you can enjoy tea and scenery, which is quite a pleasant experience.

After visiting Qingyun Pavilion, Lin Feng went to Qunyu Pavilion for a look.

The Qunyu Pavilion was an even bigger project.

You need to take an elevator to get up there; it's about the same height as a 30-story building.

The area features traditional courtyards and buildings, offering excellent views.

The surrounding mountains and rivers are all within view.

This is truly a wonderful place.

The buildings have been mostly completed, and the Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area has now been completely transformed.

The hardware conditions are excellent.

Qi Yue knew that in order for the scenic area to continue to be profitable, in addition to having a good hardware environment, the more important thing was "soft power".

It refers to intellectual property (IP) and entertainment projects.

Places like Disney and Universal Studios have endured because they possess unique intellectual property (IP).
The same applies to Qingfeng Mountain.

Currently, the intangible cultural heritage programs, amusement facilities, and AR experiences at Qingfeng Mountain are very popular.

The same applies to pet parks and garden landscapes.

That's why it keeps becoming incredibly popular.

"This investment is huge, so we have to make a good opening event and recoup our investment."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

As the boss, managing such a large scenic area and so many employees puts him under some pressure.

Fortunately, the system helped him a lot, so he wasn't short of money.

It's a bit cold in winter.

Qi Yue has already started planning the opening ceremony.

First of all, he had to arrange various performances. He even called back the Qingfeng Mountain Dance Troupe just to build up popularity.

In addition, he had a very crazy idea.

He called Li Qingshan and Yuanfang over and told them his thoughts.

"Should we hire some people to build snowmen every day?"

Li Qingshan was slightly bewildered after hearing Qi Yue's words.

"It's not easy to find someone like that. Not many people around here know how to build snowmen. After all, it hasn't snowed for years, so we don't have such good skills."

Hearing Li Qingshan's words, Qi Yue replied with a smile:

“I’ll find the employees. I just came back from Northeast China, where there are many people.”

"First, try to buy a snowmaking machine, a large one."

"We'll set up an area, put a few refrigeration units around it, and fill the space with big snowmen."

“My initial idea was to create an indoor ice rink, and also add ice sculptures and snowman landscapes.”

"But I think the indoor scenery is too boring. If you add an entrance fee, even fewer people will come to see it."

"Just find an open space and put them all out there. Anyway, the weather is cold these few days of the Lunar New Year, so they should last until the afternoon."

Qi Yue's idea was very creative. Li Qingshan and Yuan Fang immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay, I’ll figure out a way to make snow. With the technology we have now, making some snow shouldn’t be a problem.” Li Qingshan quickly agreed.

Then, Qi Yue contacted the manager of the Ice and Snow World.

"Finding a few people to build a snowman is no problem. We even have special machines here that can build snowmen that are over two meters tall, all the same height, and all look exactly the same."

"This is simple."

Upon hearing Qi Yue's meaning, the other party immediately agreed.

That's how it was settled.

New areas opened this year:
Snowman Garden.

In a city where it almost never snows, put out twenty or thirty snowmen that are two and a half meters tall.

That's what I'm after—overbearing.

The matter was quickly settled. Qi Yue brought in people and equipment from the Northeast, and the rest was left to Li Qingshan to prepare.

He doesn't need to worry about anything.

During this period, Qi Yue's diving base remained incredibly popular.

Winter is the peak season for tourism in Sanya, and many people go there for vacation as soon as winter arrives.

Of course, the number of visitors to the diving base is limited, and it cannot compare to the nearly 3 visitors that a scenic area can accommodate.

Therefore, over the past few months, a total of 11 favorability chests have been accumulated.

Just as the scenic area was about to open, Qi Yue opened the recruitment shop and chose to recruit employees.

A notification appeared on the system panel:
[Recruitment successful, employee acquired: Sanda champion]

Employee Name: Wu Lie

【Loyalty: 80】

[Skill: Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)]

Salary: 8000 RMB/month (Lower than this standard will lead to decreased employee loyalty)

[Description: A professional Sanda champion who previously fought and won championships in Southeast Asia.]

Number of employees: 18/20

New employee information appears on the panel.

Qi Yue was slightly taken aback when he saw the employee information.

Sanda champion?

I run a tourist attraction, not a martial arts school. How am I supposed to accommodate a Sanda champion?

We can't just add a "one-on-one duel" activity where any tourist can go up to the ring and fight him one-on-one.

Those tourists would all be beaten to death.

"How about we appoint him as the security captain?"

Qi Yue thought to himself.

But then I felt it wasn't quite right.

He's a Sanda champion, after all; it's a waste of his talents to make him a security captain.

Actually, a bodyguard would be most suitable for him, but Qi Yue is just a scenic area owner and is not involved in any grudges or disputes, so he doesn't need a bodyguard.

Anyway, since we've already drawn it, we should make the best of a deal with it.

The employees we recruited were indeed all very good.

Because he could see their loyalty, Qi Yue trusted them completely and could entrust them with many tasks.

For example, Liu, the factory manager of the food factory, Li Yunxiao, the owner of the diving base, and Qi Yue don't need to manage them much; they always handle things very well.

Others have also brought about significant changes to the scenic area.

The eminent monk Huijue has now carved a complete Buddha statue on the mountaintop, which can be seen when you look up while taking a sightseeing tour on a large dragon boat, making it a beautiful sight.

The shepherd Su Wu raised a large flock of sheep, as well as several dairy cows and several cattle.

He can often be seen herding sheep on the hillside.

That hillside is far from the scenic area; it's a slope that's difficult to develop, but it has become a major attraction.

The other employees also performed very well.

Of course, Qi Yue's closest friends are singer Lin Ran and dancer Zhao Rou, whose favorability ratings are already 100%.

Both of them are extremely good-looking. Lin Ran is a quiet person, seemingly indifferent to everything, and prefers peace and quiet. Zhao Rou, on the other hand, is quite clingy, either studying dance or coming to see Qi Yue.

Time flies, and Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area is about to open, so there will definitely be a lot of new activities.

Coincidentally, Qi Yue had accumulated two more treasure chests and chose to open them directly.

The first treasure chest was unremarkable, with three valuable musical instruments as options: "piano," "violin," and "cello." Qi Yue ultimately chose the piano.

However, the reward from the second treasure chest was completely unexpected by Qi Yue.

He chose to open the treasure chest, and in an instant, purple light flashed.

Purple represents rarity, and this time the treasure chest contained some great items!
Please select your reward:

[1. A new feature called "Catch the Mythical Beasts" has been launched on the scenic area's mini-program. Visitors can use this feature to find mythical beasts within the scenic area and redeem rewards after collecting them all.]

[2. A new feature called "Catch the Fairy Spirits" has been launched on the scenic area's mini-program. Visitors can use this feature to find fairy spirits within the scenic area and redeem rewards after collecting them all.]

[Three scenic area mini-programs have launched a new "Catch Monsters" feature, allowing visitors to find monsters within the scenic area and redeem rewards after collecting them all.]

"What are the functions of Pokémon?"

"That's interesting; it could be used as a way to accumulate points."

"It saves me the trouble of paying someone to develop it."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

This feature is pretty good; it opens up new ways to enjoy attractions.

However, Qi Yue was unaware of how well the public approved of this new feature.

In any case, with its opening imminent, Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area is about to experience another wave of excitement.

Qi Yue also planned to cause quite a stir. (End of Chapter)
