It's Just a Small Price!

Qin Lin watched Chen Dabe bring people forward to help and instructed, "Pour these fish into the fish pond."

The villa used to have a fishing project where they rented fishing rods to tourists. After weighing the caught fish, tourists would kill them themselves to either steam or grill.

For people coming to the villa, this was also a form of enjoyment.

However, when he acquired the farm, there wasn't a single fish left in the pond, so he needed to restock it. This would require several more trips to transport fish, and these wild fish were also a selling point.

Besides fishing, tourists could naturally buy fish directly in the hall and prepare them themselves, which would require separate arrangements.

Still, people coming to a rural resort, whether they knew how to fish or not, would generally rent a fishing rod for the experience, and there was a high chance they wouldn't catch anything.

Chen Dabe didn't waste any words and immediately led his men onto the truck. He then personally directed two security guards to lift the large buckets off the vehicle.

"What big fish," one of the security guards exclaimed, clearly having spotted some impressive catches.

"This one must be over 30 catties, right? And there's more than one!" another security guard was also surprised.

Master Lin, dressed in his chef's uniform, was drawn over. After looking into the buckets, he exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, are these fish all wild?"

"Master Lin has sharp eyes," Qin Lin said with a smile.

"Incredible, truly incredible." Master Lin was knowledgeable and looked on in awe. "So many wild fish, and they're all quite large. Especially these big ones, each one is probably worth at least 2,000, and you can't even guarantee you can buy them with money. Boss, getting these fish must have cost you quite a bit, right?"

"It cost a little bit," Qin Lin said with a smile.

Wasn't it just a little bit? It took some time to fish in the game, and some time to move them out of the game. Just a little bit.

"I knew it! You couldn't get these fish without paying a price!" Master Lin thought he had guessed correctly, a smile on his face. He then suggested, "Boss, why don't we put these big ones in the hall's pond? Such large wild fish, even just looking at them can attract people."

"Alright!" Qin Lin nodded. He would move some more big ones to the fish pond later.

However, he planned to strictly control the number of these big fish.

You wouldn't see many such large fish in the market throughout the year. It wasn't suitable to bring out too many, and the price wasn't something ordinary people could afford.

Besides eating them himself, he could bring one out to entertain guests for a more impressive display.

After handing over the two large buckets of wild fish to Chen Dabe and Master Lin, he called Gao Yaoyao over.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Gao Yaoyao jogged over.

Qin Lin instructed, "Tomorrow, I'll have someone come to shoot a promotional video of the bougainvillea sea. Dress up nicely and cooperate for a set of promotional videos and photos. I'll give you a subsidy of 2,000 yuan."

The bougainvillea sea had been created, and to make people aware of it and attract them, they first needed to know about it. Promotional videos and photos were unavoidable. When they started selling tickets, they couldn't just have blank pages; they needed to print promotional photos.

Naturally, a model was also essential.

Gao Yaoyao, with her pure girlish charm and good looks, was a ready-made choice, so there was no need to waste time looking for someone else.

"Thank you, Boss!" Gao Yaoyao sweetly agreed upon hearing the good news.

Next, Qin Lin also walked towards the bougainvillea sea.

Starting from the hall, a specially built stone path led to the sea of flowers.

At the entrance to the flower sea was a ticket booth. General flower sea tickets ranged from 30 to 70 yuan, but he directly set his price at 100.

For his flower sea, this price wasn't expensive. However, to attract visitors, it couldn't be too pricey. As long as there was a flow of people, they could arrange supporting revenue-generating plans, like the self-produced and self-sold game crops.

The outer perimeter of the flower sea was formed by densely planted bougainvillea bushes arranged into a neat floral wall, preventing anyone from entering except through the ticket booth.

The 30-mu flower sea was quite spectacular. The densely planted ordinary bougainvillea along the outer edge alone made the trip worthwhile. The deeper one went, into the bougainvillea area produced by the game, the more pleasing it was to the eye.

The seven-color symbiotic ornamental bougainvillea planted on the level 3 land had attributes of Brilliance +2, Ornamental Value +2, and Attraction +2.

Especially the three towering plants, over 4 meters tall, which were quality 3 bougainvillea, had Brilliance +3, Ornamental Value +3, Attraction +3, Camera Appeal +3, and Ecological Harmony +3.

This sea of flowers was absolutely breathtaking. At a glance, it made people unable to look away.

Qin Lin knew very well that as the creator of this flower sea, he could feel that sense of awe every day just looking at it, let alone the tourists.

Reaching the innermost area, Qin Lin stopped. He saw butterflies fluttering around the three quality 3 bougainvillea plants, and several squirrels scampered up the trees.

Within the area surrounding the three quality 3 bougainvillea plants, there was the Ecological Harmony +3 attribute, making these squirrels unafraid of people.

Qin Lin reached out to touch a squirrel perched on a fence, and it didn't run away.

He took out a few pine nuts and placed them on the ground. The squirrels immediately scurried down and grabbed the pine nuts.

He deliberately kept one in his hand, and the squirrels seemed to know, staring intently at his hand.

Qin Lin smiled and put down the remaining pine nut. A squirrel immediately came forward, grabbed it, and then scampered up the tree to hide the pine nut.

During this time, he had Gao Yaoyao come every day to feed these squirrels pine nuts, and they had become accustomed to it. Every evening, they would take their collected pine nuts and disappear into the forest, only to reappear punctually the next day.

These butterflies and squirrels, along with the pleasant bird songs, would add character to the flower sea.

The next day.

After finishing his delivery of Okra to RT-Mart, Qin Lin headed to Qin Ren's Hefeng Advertising Planning Studio.

Qin Ren was one of the partners, held shares in the studio, and served as the photographer. His skills were quite good.

Naturally, he wanted to hire his childhood friend Qin Ren to shoot a set of promotional videos and photos.

Since he was hiring someone anyway, he might as well let his childhood friend earn the money.

When Qin Lin entered, besides Qin Ren, there were a few other people. Qin Ren's fiancée, Liao Li, and another woman he had met at Qin Ren's house last time were also present.

"Linzi, why are you here?" Qin Ren greeted Qin Lin enthusiastically.

"Daren, I'd like to ask you to shoot a set of videos and photos," Qin Lin explained with a smile. "Why don't you come with me to the location first, and I'll place an order then?"

Thirty mu of Bougainvillea Sea would require a significant amount of work for promotional videos and photos. Ground shooting, aerial photography, and post-production editing would definitely require a team.

He had checked online, and a set of promotional videos and photos like this would cost over ten thousand.

"What order?" Qin Ren slung an arm around Qin Lin's shoulder and said, "Shooting a video and photos for a fruit store won't take much time. Are you not considering me a brother?"

As he spoke, Qin Ren didn't forget to tell the others, "This is my brother, Qin Lin. I'm going out with him."

This was also a way to explain to the other partners, not as private work, but as helping a brother, so everyone would understand.

"Let's go, Linzi!" Qin Ren called out.

Qin Lin smiled. Qin Ren meant well, not wanting him to spend money. The other man had helped him shoot for his fruit store once before, but this time, the promotional videos and photos were not something Qin Ren could handle alone.

Liao Li and her cousin Chu Na watched this scene. Liao Li didn't have any objections; what she valued was her fiancé's loyalty and righteousness.

Chu Na, however, had a lot of opinions. "Liao Li, you need to talk to Qin Ren. People can't be too loyal; others will get used to it. Wasn't that the same Qin Lin from last time? I thought he was a decent person before, but now it seems he doesn't understand social graces. Qin Ren said he wouldn't charge, and he just accepted it without any hesitation?"

"Let's go, we're going shopping!" Liao Li clearly didn't agree with her cousin's words, but she didn't want to argue with her.

Qin Lin and Qin Ren left the planning studio and got on a small electric scooter. Qin Ren plopped down on the back seat before Qin Lin started the vehicle and drove off.

Soon, Qin Ren noticed something was wrong. "Linzi, we're not heading to the fruit and vegetable Market Street, why are we going towards the outskirts? Where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there," Qin Lin said with a smile.
