Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 193 - 191: The Ranch Owner Suddenly Gets Serious, and We’re a Bit Unused to It!
After Jiang Feng’s competition results were announced.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned.
[How many? Forty-eight rings? Previously the best score was forty rings, right!]
[Wow, three tens right off the bat, that’s so awesome!]
[If the host were in ancient times, he would definitely be a Grand General, too powerful!]
[First in horseback archery, this must be someone at the Martial Champion Scholar level!]
[Huaxia Land really is full of hidden talents, all I can say is amazing!]
The bullet comments surged wildly.
The gift effects never stopped.
Jiang Feng wandered on horseback in the grass, surrounded by tourists who watched the competition and glanced his way.
Many people were recording videos, capturing themselves and Jiang Feng in the same frame from afar.
A beauty influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers excitedly said to the camera:
"Look, I’m in the same shot as the host, he really is super handsome in person!"
"He’s much more handsome than in the video!"
"This trip was totally worth it!"
Jiang Feng was resting by himself.
The thrilling sensation from the archery still had him a bit excited.
The fiery, intense feeling was something that couldn’t be experienced during normal training.
It’s only in real circumstances like this that his body is pushed to the limit.
"It was an extraordinary performance."
Jiang Feng smiled and sighed.
No one can be perfectly mechanical all the time, even the best archers struggle to hit five tens in such rapid movements.
That’s why people pursue perfection.
Horseback archery demands extremely high reaction capabilities from riders.
The majority of riders just aim to hit the target; as for what score, it’s up to fate.
In this match, everyone’s gaze was once again fixed on Jiang Feng.
Wearing a dragon-patterned deep blue Flying Fish Robe, black long boots, a black Official Hat, with a bow on his back and arrows at his waist, he really looked like an ancient general stepping into the modern era.
Moreover, when Jiang Feng did horseback archery, he looked more impressive than scenes from a TV show.
No slow-motion shots of pop idols holding bows and arrows for dramatic effect, just galloping steeds, fluttering skirts, and sharp, wolf-like eyes.
One competitor after another joined the competition, but undoubtedly, no one surpassed Jiang Feng’s score.
The best another competitor managed was forty-three rings, so excited that he had tears in the corner of his eyes, continually kissing the eternal sky.
As for Jiang Feng’s forty-eight rings, he simply couldn’t fathom how it was accomplished.
Was it absolute skill or the utmost luck? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Yet Jiang Feng completed this stunning feat captured by thousands of cameras.
The horseback archery contest officially ended.
The organizers gathered all the competitors; the final session had everyone riding their horses around the audience area greeting tourists.
Jiang Feng led as the first.
Riding the Red Hare, he trotted around the audience area, waving and smiling at everyone.
Tourists pulled out their phones and pointed them at him.
As he approached, everyone shouted:
"Host, amazing!"
"Host, you are my god!"
"So handsome! I want to have your babies!"
"Host, does the ranch need more people? I can graze too!"
The calls were quite entertaining, and Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh, continuing to wave and smile at everyone.
The viewers in the live stream also enjoyed it.
[The host’s popularity is so high, everyone here must be his fans!]
[If I go to the Nadamu Festival, I’m definitely watching the host!]
[It’s so fun, can’t make it this year, definitely going next year!]
[Hahaha, everyone’s really good at stirring things up.]
A big group of men on horseback, wearing ethnic costumes dashed through, their vigorous presence creating a wild beauty.
Tourists were thrilled, feeling that today was definitely worth it, absolutely worth the price.
The competitors finished their round, then came the award ceremony.
Jiang Feng, naturally at the center, received a gold medal, a trophy, and a large placard with a prize of 100,000 written on it.
Holding the plaque, he appeared bold and confident, with a content smile on his face.
This Nadamu Festival made his popularity explode completely.
Jiang Feng entered a phase of skyrocketing traffic.
Originally a self-media figure with three to four million followers, he now became a network giant with 15 million fans.
Of course, Jiang Feng didn’t think much of it, aside from the increase in popularity value calculated during daily live streams.
He never cared about online antics, already being a massive influencer, not participating in commercial activities, nor taking any ads, baffling many self-media companies.
Jiang Feng treats live streaming as a side gig, with system rewards and gift income, avoiding dealing with miscellaneous people, too troublesome.
The ranch employees mingled among the audience watching.
Hadan and Bugude admired Jiang Feng immensely.
Hadan enthusiastically said, "The host is too awesome, another championship!"
Bugude echoed, "It’s unbelievable, my family said the host indeed received blessings from the eternal sky, he is a lucky man!"
After the award ceremony, this horseback archery contest concluded.
A drone followed Jiang Feng as he retrieved a microphone, clipped it to his collar, and said to everyone:
"Fortunately, the recent training didn’t go to waste, clinched another first place."
"This year’s Nadamu Festival has been a complete success."
"Thank you all for your support."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, his longtime fans responded:
[Ranch owner, you’re suddenly being serious, we’re a bit not used to it!]
[Hahaha, that’s awesome!]
[This outfit is so handsome, strike some poses!]
[Ranch owner, have you considered starring in a movie? You’d be perfect as the lead in a martial arts film, I’m serious!]
The comments kept pouring in.
Regarding the viewers’ suggestions, Jiang Feng laughed and said:
"Although I do look like a leading man, I’m not going to act in movies."
"I need to take care of my little guys."
Internet users love to be contrary.
Upon hearing this, the screen was filled with question marks.
Jiang Feng, seeing so many question marks, remained calm and said lightly:
"Seems like you guys disagree, who disagrees, let me see."
[I, Wang Jingze, disagree!]
[I, Zhao Lichun, am the first to disagree!]
[Who agrees?]
The screen was filled with the word "disagree."
Jiang Feng expected this; he was just joking to liven things up.
Next, it was time for the photo-taking session.
Many tourists came over to take photos with the contest participants.
Most wanted to take photos with Jiang Feng, surrounding him in layers.
Jiang Feng wasn’t used to such occasions, took some group photos, and began to leave.
People didn’t stop him.
Jiang Feng called for a truck, let Red Hare get onto it, and drove it back to the ranch.
After all, it’s tens of kilometers, and the highway makes using a vehicle more convenient.
Upon returning to the ranch, Jiang Feng’s parents arrived.
Jiang Shan went drinking and singing with the ranch employees, having a great time. Mongolians like to sing Mongolian songs while drinking and Jiang Shan, having adapted to local customs, found it much more exciting than bragging while drinking.
Mrs. Jiang called Jiang Feng over.
"This weekend, I know a really nice girl. No matter what, you should go see her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng looked helpless:
"Mom, don’t worry about this kind of thing. What era are we in? When you married from Shanxi to Mongolia, didn’t you find your partner yourself?"
Mrs. Jiang advised earnestly:
"Times have changed, plus in university, you didn’t find anyone suitable to bring back as a spouse, right?"
"Let me tell you, marriage needs introductions, it’s much more stable than dating on your own."
"I know so many wealthy ladies, don’t I know which families have good daughters?"
"Could your mom choose poorly at her level?"
"Don’t go hooking up with little social media stars, we don’t say they’re bad, but what shines on the surface could be very different behind the scenes."
Faced with his mother’s nagging, Jiang Feng sighed, "Fine, I’ll meet her."
"Alright then, just this once, let’s not bring this up again in the future."
"I’ve only graduated for two years, why rush?"
Seeing him agree, Mrs. Jiang laughed and said:
"Good, I’ll send you her contact, chat with her nicely."
"Be proactive, as a man."
Jiang Feng smiled wryly.
In his heart, he felt no waves; the image of a child in the eyes of elders might differ greatly from what the person is actually like.
Some elders think their children study hard abroad, when they might already be cohabiting with someone and living a new life.
Some elders think their children are obedient, when privately they smoke, drink, and often party in nightclubs.
Only the best friends or closest buddies of young people know what they’re really like.
Next, Mrs. Jiang forwarded a WeChat contact to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng glanced quickly, the username was the name, Liu Yiyi.
The profile picture was herself, reaching hand towards the sky in a "yay" gesture, smiling happily, with a vast grassland behind her.
Her looks and figure were impeccable, indeed quite nice.
Jiang Feng hesitated a bit, but decided to add her as a friend.
The note said: "Jiang Feng."
Jiang Feng’s Moments is empty as he never posts nor enabled it. But to know him, watching his streams suffices.
The friend request was quickly accepted.
Before Jiang Feng spoke, the other party initiated with:
"Hello, I’m Liu Yiyi, from Sahuan Ranch on Hulunbei’er Grassland."
Seeing her proactively greet, Jiang Feng’s first impression was the girl was quite nice, at least not one of those who adds as friends and then acts like "I’m giving you a chance to pursue me."
"Hello, I’m at Maodeng Ranch in Xilingol." Jiang Feng replied on WeChat.
"I know, I’ve watched your streams, was just watching earlier, this year’s Ximeng is indeed lively."
"It’s livelier than previous years, more tourists now."
The two chatted back and forth, with many topics since they both lived on the grassland, it was quite comfortable chatting.
Despite Jiang Feng usually not liking to chat on WeChat, he conversed a lot with her.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Jiang hoped they could end up together.
Liu Yiyi’s family is quite big on Hulunbei’er Grassland; her dad has over sixty thousand acres of prime pasture, a solid fortune.
Certainly more impressive than Jiang Feng is now.
If she truly marries over, the dowry of cattle and sheep could be immense.
Faster than starting one’s own business.
Rich ladies are indeed enticing.
