Chapter 68: Earning Money by Navigating the Maze at Liyuan Farm?

Liyuan Farm has been a hot topic lately, drawing a lot of attention. Now, with the release of a promotional video for a new project, it has quickly gained a lot of buzz and caught the eyes of many people.

Xiao Zhenjie saw this video. He admitted that the sea of rapeseed flowers at Liyuan Farm was beautiful, but he had no good feelings towards the farm.

Originally, he had planned a peaceful holiday to go fishing with his friends. However, his girlfriend insisted on dragging him to Youcheng to see the sea of rapeseed flowers. They spent 100 yuan on tickets, and the round-trip train fare was over 300 yuan. Wasn't this just ripping people off?

To make matters worse, the social media app kept showing him videos about Liyuan Farm, even though he had no fondness for it. One of the videos caught his attention:

"Rumor Has It That Only People with Average Intelligence Can Pass This Maze! 1 Million Yuan Awaits You!"

He thought, "What kind of ridiculous title is this? Isn't this just another brain-dead game's promotional tactic?"

The video claimed, "Don't think the first level is easy; passing the second level is already the limit of human intelligence."

The game developers might be brain-dead, but they also treated others as such, assuming many fools would fall for this kind of advertisement.

Xiao Zhenjie was uninterested and reduced the recommendations for such videos. However, the app seemed to think he was brain-dead and kept pushing these ads. "What's the difference between this and those brain-dead games?" he thought.

"I want to see what this 1 million yuan is all about," Xiao Zhenjie finally clicked on the video.

Though the title was insulting, the mention of 1 million yuan was undeniablyly.

As soon as the video started, it introduced a bamboo forest maze. He now understood what the ad was about—Liyuan Farm was giving away money.

Visitors who successfully navigated the bamboo forest maze would receive a 2000 yuan reward. The first person to complete it would receive 200,000 yuan.

"200, 000 yuan? How can this be real?" Xiao Zhenjie thought the 2000 yuan was plausible, but the 200, 000 yuan felt like an insult to his intelligence.

How hard could a bamboo forest maze be? Many places had similar attractions, and a straightforward friend of his easily passed through these. easily passed the.

. This friend had easily passed through and and even boasted about it on social media.

So, this kind of attraction wasn't that difficult.

He then understood the meaning behind the title. They were telling the truth; the maze was designed for people with average intelligence. If someone couldn't pass, their IQ must be lower than his straightforward friend's.

.

But how could they offer 200, 000 yuan to the first person who completes it? Wouldn't anyone who enters first get the reward?

?

They must have found a stooge to take the 200, 000 yuan internally, and no one else would get a cent. This was a common tactic.

However, when he saw that the Tourism Bureau and Agriculture Bureau of Youcheng were guaranteeing the reward, he began to doubt his initial thoughts. If Liyuan Farm lied, they would lose their reputation and face, which would have serious consequences.

This meant the 200, 000 yuan reward for the first person to complete the maze was real.

Xiao Zhenjie immediately opened the comment section and saw many people sharing his thoughts.

"At first, I thought this was fake, but seeing the guarantee from two departments, I know Liyuan Farm wouldn't dare to lie!"

"Right, it would be a loss for Liyuan Farm to offend these two departments for such a small amount of money!"

"..."

Xiao Zhenjie then saw a highly upvoted comment that made a lot of sense.

"Are you guys stupid? How can this be fake? It's just 1 million yuan. Liyuan Farm is spending money to create buzz. Look at the video's popularity and think about how many tourists will be attracted. They will earn far more than 1 million yuan. Why would they lie?"

He upvoted the comment.

After confirming this, he immediately booked a ticket for the bamboo forest maze. The tickets were 50 yuan, just like the rapeseed flower sea.

Since Liyuan Farm was giving away money, he decided to go the next day to earn some. If he arrived early, he wouldn't get the 200, 000 yuan, but he was confident he could at least get 2000 yuan. His IQ wasn't lower than his straightforward friend's.

At that moment, many people shared Xiao Zhenjie's thoughts, all planning to earn some money at Liyuan Farm. However, they didn't know what the reality would be.

At the same time, Zhang Lin was smiling as he reported to Zhao Han and Wei Yuan, "Director Zhao, Director Wei, all 5000 tickets for the bamboo forest maze have been booked."

"So fast?" Wei Yuan was surprised, as this was incredibly quick.

"This shows how popular the bamboo forest maze's promotion has been," Zhao Han said, equally surprised.

Zhang Lin had set a limit on the tickets to manage the capacity. Out of the 5000 tickets, half had to be booked by visitors who had already purchased tickets for the rapeseed flower sea. The farm could only handle 5000 visitors a day, and the queue for the flower sea had already caused many complaints.

This would help manage the flow of visitors more efficiently.

Even so, the tickets were sold out in such a short time, showing the popularity of the bamboo forest maze.

Wei Yuan was the happiest, as the Agriculture Bureau's official live stream to help farmers was scheduled for that evening. The more popular the event, the better the results would be.

That evening, Wei Yuan booked a meal at Liyuan Farm, and the Agriculture Bureau staff were also dining there. Zhao Han and Zhang Lin, and to guests, and Fu Yao was also there. She had been picked up by Lin Mengxi after school.

Entering the lounge, Fu Yao ran to Zhang Lin and greeted him, "Uncle!"

"I'll be watching the live stream tonight," Zhang Lin smiled.

Lin Mengxi also came over and invited Fu Yao to prepare for the live stream. She couldn't afford to be lazy, as she had been working hard for this event for a long time.

After dinner, Wei Yuan encouraged Lin Mengxi and the others, "Work hard tonight. I've prepared 50, 000 pounds of peaches and 50, 000 pounds of blueberries. Try to sell as much as possible. If we sell half on the first day, it will be a success!"

Zhao Han didn't leave after dinner but instead waited with Wei Yuan in a corner of the lounge for the live stream results.

Zhang Lin accompanied the two, holding his phone and watching Lin Mengxi and Fu Yao's live stream. The stream was primarily hosted by Lin Mengxi, with Fu Yao providing support and occasional comments. The combination of these two beautiful girls was very pleasing to the eye, and the live stream visuals were excellent.

The live stream’s popularity soared, with the number of viewers quickly increasing. The chat was flooded with comments praising the two girls.

"Without even talking about the content, just the presence of these two girls is enough to make the Youcheng Agriculture Bureau the winner."

"The farm bureau has a great sense of aesthetics. For this, I'll buy whatever they sell, no questions asked."

"The pressure is now on the other city agriculture bureaus!"

"..."

In just a short time, the number of viewers in the live stream had already surpassed 20,000, showcasing the immense popularity of Liyuan Farm.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Mengxi from the Youcheng Agriculture Bureau. I'm very happy to meet everyone in the Liyuan Farm live stream today," Lin Mengxi introduced herself.

Fu Yao then added, "I'm Fu Yao!"

As soon as the two girls spoke, they captured the attention of all the viewers, and the chat began to flood with messages.

"Other cities' agriculture bureaus can't compete with this."

"The farm bureau has a great eye for talent. I'll buy anything they sell."

"The pressure is on the other city agriculture bureaus!"

"..."

In just a short time, the number of viewers had already reached over 20,000, highlighting the popularity of Liyuan Farm.

"Thank you all for joining us. Today's stream is a simple collaboration between our farm bureau and Liyuan Farm to support local farmers. We have 50,000 pounds of Fuyong plums and 50,000 pounds of blueberries prepared for today," Lin Mengxi said, a bit nervous as it was her first live stream.

She didn't want to mess up this task. The fruit farmers had been cooperating with the agriculture bureau for a long time, and they were all looking forward to this.

She didn't want to disappoint the bureau or the farmers.

While Lin Mengxi was introducing the products, Wei Yuan had already urged Zhao Han and Zhang Lin to join the live stream and contribute an order. This showed that he was a bit nervous as well.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Liyuan Farm's popularity; it was just his first time doing this kind of live stream.

Zhang Lin understood and, as soon as Lin Mengxi finished introducing the fruits and the links were posted, he immediately clicked to order the blueberries.

However, when he tried to pay, he was shocked to see a message saying the product was sold out.

Zhao Han also exclaimed, "Sold out?"

"..." Wei Yuan's face showed a mix of confusion and disbelief. He had been worried about not selling enough, but he didn't expect it to sell out so quickly.

Linyi Mengxi and Fu Yao were the most confused.

They didn't understand what was happening!

They had just started introducing the fruits, and now they were told that both types were completely sold out?

This was too incredible!

The confused expressions of the two girls made all the viewers laugh, and the live stream became lively with a flood of comments.

"6666, the links went up and they were gone."

"I just tapped the screen and found out it was sold out. I feel so left out."

"Haha, the two girls are as confused as I am."

"Only 50,000 pounds of each fruit? Is the Youcheng Agriculture Bureau looking down on us?"

"..."

The new viewers who joined the live stream were even more confused because there was nothing left to buy. Although the order links were still open, the farmers hadn't coordinated properly, which could lead to issues.

Therefore, Wei Yuan didn't order to continue selling, not wanting to focus solely on short-term gains.

This also made him realize the terrifying popularity of Liyuan Farm, and he was very grateful for their collaboration.

Zhao Han was also amazed and excited. The agriculture bureau, and potentially the tourism bureau in the future, would also benefit from Liyuan Farm's popularity.

In the live stream, after her initial confusion, Lin Mengxi quickly adjusted her state. Without any fruits to sell, she immediately said, "On behalf of the fruit farmers, I want to thank everyone for your support. To show our gratitude, let's talk about Liyuan Farm's Bamboo Maze! I experienced it today, and it's really fun..."

Seeing her performance, Zhang Lin smiled. She was very responsible.

As a result, the rest of the live stream focused on the Bamboo Maze, almost like a promotional event for the project.

Fu Yao, who had never been to the Bamboo Maze and didn't even know about it, occasionally chimed in, "Everyone, please follow us by clicking the button in the top left corner!"

She had picked this up from other live streams, where the assistants would often say this. Since she couldn't contribute to the discussion about the Bamboo Maze, she decided to help the farm gain more followers.

As the number of viewers increased, and Lin Mengxi continued to chat about the Bamboo Maze, it piqued more and more interest, further increasing the Bamboo Maze's popularity.

Zhang Lin noticed that in a short time, Liyuan Farm's followers had increased by 100,000 and were still growing, showing the online buzz.

However, this popularity also attracted some hostility.

For example, the Noyada Bamboo Maze run by the Miao ethnic group.

Ao Youda, the head of the maze, had always been proud of it. Under his management, the maze had been constantly upgraded, and Noyada Bamboo Maze had always been the top maze in the country, with the highest popularity.

However, today, when he saw Liyuan Farm's Bamboo Maze, he felt threatened.

His assistant remarked, "Mr. Ao Youda, Liyuan Farm's popularity is too high. Their live stream has tens of thousands of people discussing their Bamboo Maze. What should we do?"

"The best way is to use their popularity to our advantage and bring down Liyuan Farm's Bamboo Maze!" Ao Youda said, a confident smile on his face.

After all, he had spent his entire life studying bamboo mazes and had a deep understanding of them. Liyuan Farm didn't understand the essence of a bamboo maze.

The true essence of a bamboo maze lies in its complexity. Their Bamboo Maze was known as the best in the country, truly maze-like, and far superior to Liyuan Farm's.

This was their opportunity.

"Mr. Ao Youda, what should we do?" the assistant asked eagerly.
