Just as Lin Zhe had guessed when he first laid eyes on Jiang Yining.

She was indeed an online streamer.

Of course, she preferred to call herself a "content creator."

Her main platform was BL Station, which had the youngest user base.

She was a modest travel creator on BL Station with over five hundred thousand followers.

She had come to the Mount Sanqing scenic area after happening across one of its promotional campaigns online.

Anyone with at least ten thousand followers could visit the scenic area for free.

And if the videos they filmed reached a certain number of views, they could also earn promotional bonuses.

To be honest, among the country's famous mountains and scenic landscapes, the Mount Sanqing scenic area was relatively obscure and rather niche.

If she had not stumbled upon this promotional campaign, Jiang Yining would not even have known such a scenic area existed in the country.

Through the campaign, she had gained a general understanding of the place and developed a keen interest in it.

As a modest travel creator, she had already visited all the country's famous mountains and scenic destinations.

An occasional visit to a small but charming destination like Mount Sanqing would make a nice change of pace.

So she figured she could film some material while enjoying the scenery, sample the local food, and pick up a bonus along the way-several birds with one stone!

No sooner had the idea struck than Jiang Yining bought a plane ticket online and rushed straight from the capital to the Mount Sanqing scenic area.

After returning to her room last night, she had put in some extra hours editing the footage she had taken along the way and uploaded it to BL Station.

The video began with her packing at home in the capital and ended at the entrance to the Mount Sanqing scenic area.

She had also added a "Mount Sanqing scenic area promotion" tag to her video.

That way, she could take the video's view count to Mount Sanqing's promotional department and claim her payment.

After all, she had mentioned the Mount Sanqing scenic area several times in the video and included footage of its entrance, fully satisfying the promotional requirements.

She slept until the sun was high in the sky.

Jiang Yining rubbed her eyes, picked up her phone, and checked the time. It was already eleven thirty.

As a full-time content creator, she had always kept a very irregular schedule.

She never went to bed at the same time two days in a row, nor did she ever wake up at the same time.

Random and unpredictable was her style.

Sleeping past eleven was nothing new for Jiang Yining.

After waking, she lay in bed with her eyes closed for another ten minutes or so before finally stretching and getting up.

The first thing she did was open her phone and check the views on her newly uploaded video.

"Just over fifty thousand. By the end of the day, it should reach around two hundred thousand. That'll cover my meals for the next few days~"

She watched her uploaded video again from a viewer's perspective. The scrolling comments floating across the screen added their own flavor to the experience.

"The Mount Sanqing scenic area is right on my doorstep! Come visit us, Jiang!"

"Never heard of this scenic area. If it's fun, I'll go during the National Day holiday too."

"What a coincidence! I was just at Mount Sanqing yesterday! Here's an inn recommendation for Jiang: the Fortunate Inn. It's not famous, but the surroundings and cleanliness are fantastic!"

Spotting an extra-long scrolling comment that mentioned the Fortunate Inn, Jiang Yining tapped the screen and replied: What a coincidence! That's exactly where I'm staying!

The entire video was only a little over eight minutes long. After finishing it, Jiang Yining finally opened her suitcase and took her toiletries out of a small compartment.

As a travel creator who frequently traveled around the country and stayed in hotels year-round.

Jiang Yining always brought her own toiletries, towels, and other personal hygiene supplies when she traveled.

As for the quality of hotels' disposable toiletries, those who knew, knew...

The accommodations at the Fortunate Inn were not particularly luxurious. Only the premium rooms had private bathrooms.

Jiang Yining was staying in one of those premium rooms, costing 499 yuan a night, so washing up was convenient enough.

By the time she had washed, changed, and left her room, it was already noon, and her stomach had long been growling.

"I'll have two portions of egg fried rice, and a bottle of iced cola too, please~"

"I'll have one egg fried rice, one fried rice noodles, a Sprite, and a bottle of water. Thanks, miss!"

"Miss, I'd like five portions of egg fried rice to go!"

"I'll have three portions of fried rice noodles and a two-liter bottle of Master Kong green tea~"

When Jiang Yining came downstairs, she saw a crowd gathered beside the reception desk, ordering food.

A small LED blackboard on the reception desk listed that day's lunch:

Soul-Stirring Egg Fried Rice: 29.9 yuan per portion.

Soul-Seducing Fried Rice Noodles: 29.9 yuan per portion.

Jiang Yining naturally knew that prices inside scenic areas were higher than outside.

Still, the lunch offerings and prices at the Fortunate Inn surprised her a little.

"Thirty yuan for a portion of egg fried rice? That's a bit pricey!"

"But if it's so expensive, why are so many people ordering it? Weird."

Both the price of the egg fried rice and the customers crowding around the reception desk, clamoring to order, left Jiang Yining puzzled.

Suddenly, an unusual aroma drifted into her nose.

"Sniff, sniff, sniff..."

Standing on the stairs, Jiang Yining sniffed lightly a few times. It was the aroma of egg fried rice, but it was different from any egg fried rice she had eaten before.

Soon, Jiang Yining found the source. A young couple was eating at a small round table in the seating area beside the reception desk.

They each had a portion in front of them, with two more sitting beside them.

"This egg fried rice really lives up to its reputation. The flavor is incredible!"

"The chef who made something this delicious has to be the ancient Greek god of egg fried rice!"

The young couple shoveled down mouthfuls of egg fried rice while singing its praises, making the customers waiting nearby swallow hungrily.

"Maybe I'll have egg fried rice for lunch too! It's been days since I last had any."

The distinctive aroma of the Soul-Stirring Egg Fried Rice and the young couple's praise had also piqued Jiang Yining's interest.

"Miss, I'd like a portion of egg fried rice too~"

After coming downstairs, Jiang Yining placed her order with Hu Ting at the reception desk, then took out her phone to scan the payment code.

Hu Ting quickly said, "Just to let you know, miss, yours might take a little longer. There are thirty-two portions ahead of you, so yours will be the thirty-third."

"Huh? Oh, that's fine. I can wait."

The more people ordered it, the tastier the Soul-Stirring Egg Fried Rice must be, which only made Jiang Yining more interested.

"By the way, miss, I'm a small content creator on BL Station. Would it be all right if I filmed some footage in your inn?"

After scanning the code and paying, Jiang Yining asked Hu Ting's permission with a sweet smile, her words positively honeyed.

"Of course. Film whatever you like. It'd be even better if you could help promote our inn while you're at it."

When Hu Ting had started working there, Lin Zhe had already explained how she should handle situations like this.

An inn inside a scenic area was bound to attract streamers and content creators, and filming footage was very common.

Only after receiving Hu Ting's clear approval did Jiang Yining take a compact Insta360 X4 out of the bag she was carrying and begin filming that day's material.

As a prolific creator who uploaded daily, casually filming footage had already become part of Jiang Yining's everyday life.
