Unique Scenic Spot Development Investment

The group continued forward, stepping on the thick snow, following the direction where the little deer had just disappeared.

Ke Yujia, who had just been teased by Su Bai about "deer not hibernating," was now following closely by his side with a flushed face.

Her small hand, wearing a heavy winter glove, naturally and tightly gripped the hem of Su Bai's clothes, afraid that she might clumsily trip again and cause trouble for her brother Su Bai.

The deeper they went, the more serene and beautiful the forest scenery became.

Sunlight filtered through the branches of the towering cedars, casting dappled and dazzling shadows on the pristine white snow.

The surroundings were incredibly quiet. Aside from the occasional rustle of snow slipping from the treetops, the only sound was the crunching of their footsteps in the snow.

The air was filled with a crisp and pure chill unique to high-altitude snow mountains.

"Boss, watch your step. There's a snow-covered downhill slope ahead that's easy to slip on," the old hunter said, diligently scouting the path ahead and constantly tapping the snow surface with a wooden stick.

Rounding a mountain pass hidden by giant rocks and snow, their field of vision suddenly opened up.

In the heart of this hidden valley stood a dilapidated ancient temple in silence.

The blue bricks and gray tiles exuded a profound sense of ancient charm against the backdrop of the white snow. Even the temple's plaque had broken in half and lay half-buried in the snow, clearly having been abandoned for countless years.

Withered vines crawled all over the temple walls, adding a touch of desolation.

Beside the ancient temple meandered a small stream that had completely frozen and dried up.

The ice surface was covered with a thin layer of fallen snow, reflecting a crystalline glow in the sunlight.

A few fluffy white snow hares were hopping around the edge of the ice, foraging for food. Hearing the approaching footsteps, they all perked up their long ears, cast a vigilant glance this way, and then vanished into the nearby dry grass like streaks of white lightning.

"Wow! Brother Su Bai, it's so beautiful here! It's just like a place where elves live in a fairy tale!" Ke Yujia's eyes were full of surprise, her clear pupils reflecting this breathtaking snowscape.

Just then, a larger deer slowly paced out from behind the ruined courtyard wall of the ancient temple.

The color of its fur was a bit darker than the little deer from earlier. It had an elegant posture and an extremely gentle gaze, clearly the mother of that little deer.

Surprisingly, this doe was not afraid of people at all. It stood there, tilting its head to observe Su Bai and Ke Yujia, and even took the initiative to step forward a couple of paces. Its nostrils flared slightly, as if sniffing for the scent of food on them.

"It... it seems hungry." Ke Yujia was a bit excited, but her innate timidity made her subconsciously hide behind Su Bai's broad back.

Su Bai chuckled softly, picked out two slightly lesser-quality winter snow mushrooms from the bag they had just gathered, and handed them to Ke Yujia. "Go ahead. These wild herbivores are very perceptive, it won't bite."

With Su Bai backing her up, Ke Yujia seemed to gain infinite courage. She boldly took two steps forward and slowly opened her gloved palm.

The doe tentatively leaned forward, gently curled its warm tongue, and swept the winter snow mushrooms into its mouth, chewing them with relish. After eating, it actually rubbed its head affectionately against Ke Yujia's palm.

"Brother Su Bai, look! It ate what I fed it! It's so well-behaved!" Ke Yujia's face flushed with excitement. She turned to look at Su Bai, her clear eyes filled with admiration and joy, as if as long as Su Bai was around, she could experience all the wonderful things in this world.

Looking at the beautiful picture of a beauty feeding a deer, Su Bai's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Perhaps it was because Ke Yujia had a kind aura that made her popular with small animals.

He looked around at the tranquil valley, the ancient temple, the frozen stream, and the rolling snow peaks in the distance.

"The scenery here is fantastic. With mountains, water, and these highly intelligent wild animals, it has a great foundation." Su Bai raised an eyebrow and casually asked the old hunter next to him, "With such excellent pristine resources, why has it been abandoned and not developed into a scenic spot?"

Hearing the wealthy boss's question, the old hunter sighed and quickly answered respectfully, "Boss, there's something you don't know. This valley, along with a large piece of land outside, was bought a few years ago by a property company called 'Snow Mountain Resort'."

"Originally, they were very ambitious and planned to build a top-tier eco-friendly scenic area here. They even drew up the blueprints, saying they wanted to build a hot spring hotel and a wildlife viewing area. But who knew that the economy would be bad these past two years? The company's financial situation deteriorated extremely, and their capital chain completely broke. Let alone developing the scenic spot, they have even owed their property staff wages for several months. So this place can only remain deserted."

The knowledgeable private driver Lao Li, standing to the side, also chimed in at the right time, "Mr. Su, I've heard about this at the hotel before. That property company is now looking everywhere for someone to take over. But because this plot of land is so huge, doing infrastructure here means the initial investment will absolutely be a bottomless pit. You'd have to throw in at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, just to see a splash. In the current economic climate, no boss dares to take over such a huge mess at this juncture."

As soon as Lao Li finished speaking...

"Ding!"

A crisp, mechanical notification sound suddenly rang out in Su Bai's mind.

[Detected that the host has triggered a cultural tourism investment opportunity!]

[Option 1: Ignore this place and turn away. Reward: None.]

[Option 2: Fully acquire the Snow Mountain Resort property and develop a top-tier ecological scenic area! Reward: Ten times cashback on this investment amount, and unlock one copy of 'World-Class Landscape Architecture Blueprints'!]

Listening to the system's voice in his mind, a flash of sharp light instantly crossed Su Bai's deep eyes.

Ten times cashback?

This was simply a super ATM delivered to his door by the system! Others might fear a broken capital chain or that the initial investment would be a bottomless pit, but with the system's backing, the last thing Su Bai feared was throwing money around!

The more he threw in, the more terrifying the cashback would be!

Su Bai's gaze swept like a torch across the breathtaking snow-covered valley before him, and he immediately declared, "I will fund the development! I'm investing!"

Everyone was instantly stunned.

Investing?

This decision was truly unexpected.

It was well known that real estate was now a pure sunset industry. There were many bosses who had navigated the business for years trying to figure out how to cut their losses and survive, yet who would have thought a newcomer was actually entering the market?

They had no idea just how deep Boss Su's pockets were for him to dare touch this.

Only Ke Yujia instantly understood Su Bai's true intentions correctly.

Brother Su Bai... must have decided to buy it simply because he thought the scenery was beautiful, right?

After all, when Su Bai spent money, his main priority was his own pleasure, not pursuing a profit.

As a girl by Su Bai's side, she had long grown accustomed to this bizarre way of thinking.
