Chapter 25: Opening the Treasure Chest Mission
After everyone dispersed, Qu Qingdai seemed to be walking in the same direction as Jiang Baizhi. There was a hint of inquiry and doubt in her eyes. Sure enough, she found that Jiang Baizhi was just like in her previous life. After hearing the location information, she walked quickly towards the aquarium in the resort without any hesitation. Qu Qingdai wondered in her heart, what is going on? In her previous life, after hearing the location information, Jiang Baizhi seemed to have known the answer. She walked towards the aquarium with confidence and successfully found the treasure chest. And today, she is still moving in that direction with such confidence. What secret is hidden behind this? Qu Qingdai was puzzled, and her mind kept thinking about various possibilities.
However, this time, Jiang Baizhi, your wishful thinking might be wrong, Qu Qingdai thought.
Before the show officially began, Qu Qingdai orchestrated a "chance encounter." She pretended to stumble across the production crew, who were enthusiastically discussing the location of the first treasure chest. Amidst their heated discussions, the production team quickly became aware of Qu Qingdai's presence. Realizing something was amiss, they quickly made a decision to relocate the treasure chest. Thus, the original plan was disrupted, and now no one knows the exact location of the treasure chest.
Qu Qingdai quietly gazed at Jiang Baizhi's confident figure, a barely perceptible smile flickering across her eyes. Then, she slowly turned and walked away, heading towards the place where she had searched for the treasure chest in her previous life. Although she already knew that it was a fake treasure chest, she loved fountains. Regardless of past and present lives, her first choice was the fountain square. However, in her heart, she seemed to still have a glimmer of hope. She thought that if she hadn't found it in her previous life, perhaps God would bless her in this life and allow her to gain something.
She took firm steps, step by step, towards that familiar yet unfamiliar place. With a glimmer of hope, she set foot on this land again to find her own treasure chest.

Following the original novel's plot, Jiang Baizhi made her way to the aquarium with determined steps. The novel details how the heroine initially had no desire to visit the aquarium; she had intended to go to the resort's fountain plaza, believing it to be water-related, but not necessarily the aquarium. Her preferred destination was the fountain plaza. However, the fake daughter assumed the heroine's chosen location was the best, assuming the Jiang family's parents would learn about the specific location from the production team and share it with the heroine, thereby boosting Qu Qingdai's popularity. Therefore, the fake daughter robbed the heroine of the fountain plaza and recommended the aquarium instead. Who would have thought that this very aquarium, which she had disdained, would lead the heroine to the right place and ultimately find the treasure chest? The original female supporting character, realizing she had missed her chance, threw a tantrum on the production team, insisting that she had originally intended to go to the aquarium but had been snatched away by the heroine. She even tried to grab the heroine's treasure chest, pushing her to the ground and injuring her. This greatly disappointed Jiang's parents, who stopped all her activities, temporarily shut her up at home, and withdrew from the program.
Jiang Baizhi recalled the original plot and thought secretly, I will definitely not follow the old path of the fake daughter in the book. I will use the golden finger of the plot to replace Qu Qingdai and become the new heroine.
Jiang Baizhi slowly stepped into the aquarium, and the first thing that caught her eye was a dazzling spectacle. Within the crystal-clear glass tanks, colorful fish swam freely, their graceful figures gleaming with a captivating luster. Surrounding the tanks were a variety of bizarre corals and aquatic plants, some swaying gracefully, others serene and tranquil, forming a dreamlike underwater world.
However, Jiang Baizhi had no intention of appreciating the breathtaking scenery before her. She hurriedly found the aquarium staff, following the plot of the original novel, and eagerly asked, "Does anyone here have any clues to the treasure chest?"
After hearing Jiang Baizhi's question, the staff member smiled kindly and said, "Congratulations, young lady, you have arrived at one of our mission locations. There is indeed a treasure chest here, but we are not sure if it is the one you need. If you want to obtain this treasure chest, you need to complete a task, which is to feed the dolphins."
Jiang Baizhi listened to the staff's words and said without hesitation, "Sure, no problem." Her voice was firm and decisive, as if this task was a piece of cake for her. Her eyes gleamed with anticipation, and she was already thinking about how to complete the task as quickly as possible and get the treasure chest.
Under the patient guidance of the staff, Jiang Baizhi followed them to the area where food was prepared for the dolphins. She gently picked up the container holding the food and slowly walked to the pool where the dolphins were. Jiang Baizhi stood by the pool, watching the dolphins in the water with a slightly nervous look.
The staff member came over to her with a smile and said patiently, "Don't be nervous, miss. Just take the food and reach out slowly."
Jiang Baizhi took a deep breath and, following the staff's instructions, carefully picked up the food and slowly extended her hand toward the water. The dolphins seemed to sense the scent of food and swam over.
"Don't be afraid, put the food down gently." The staff encouraged her.
Jiang Baizhi's slightly trembling hands slowly loosened, and the food fell into the water. The dolphins quickly gathered around, happily scrambling for the food.
Jiang Baizhi watched the dolphins happily eat, and her nervousness gradually dissipated. She began to feed the dolphins more skillfully, and her movements became more and more natural.
With the guidance and help of the staff, she successfully completed the task of feeding the dolphins.
"You did a great job, miss!" The staff was also happy for her. "Here, this is the treasure chest you won."
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Baizhi smiled and politely thanked the staff. She reached out and gently took the treasure chest from the staff. Jiang Baizhi held the treasure chest tightly, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing a look of relief.
At this moment, she was secretly delighted in her heart. She thought, this was really a turning point in fate. This time, the heroine's halo would finally fall on her head. She had already snatched the heroine's opportunity.
Afterwards, Jiang Baizhi said goodbye to the staff and turned to walk towards the gathering point. She did not think she could be wrong, nor did she look for other treasure chests. She wanted to establish a personality for herself that was possessed by a koi fish.
At this moment, the barrage of comments on the screen surged like a tide. The audience exclaimed in admiration when they saw Jiang Baizhi complete the task so quickly.
[Jiang Baizhi is amazing! She got the treasure chest so quickly!]
[This speed is too fast! Xiaozhi is really amazing! ]
[Jiang Baizhi really impressed everyone this time. She completed the task beautifully!]
[However, is she sure this is the real treasure chest? There's still plenty of time, why not continue looking for other treasure chests?]
[Uh... maybe she's confident...]

Relying on the memories of her past life, Qu Qingdai hurried to the Fountain Square. She clearly remembered that the first place that came to her mind when she saw the puzzle was this place. However, Jiang Baizhi was very determined to go to the aquarium, as if the treasure chest was really there. Qu Qingdai originally wanted to accompany Jiang Baizhi to the aquarium first, and then rush to the Fountain Square, but Jiang Baizhi refused her proposal. She could only come here alone with full of expectations.
At that time, she thought to herself, if she found a real treasure chest, she would work hard to find the real treasure chest for Jiang Baizhi in the next two days, so that the two sisters could both have a consumption card for the resort and have a happy vacation here together. However, things did not go as she wished. She looked in the wrong place and found a fake treasure chest, while Jiang Baizhi got the real one. At that moment, she was surprised by Jiang Baizhi's accuracy. This surprise only flashed for a moment, but was soon replaced by joy. She was sincerely happy that Jiang Baizhi was the first person to find the treasure chest.
On the second and third days, Qu Qingdai planned to continue searching for the real treasure chests, but unexpectedly, Jiang Baizhi, as if by divine intervention, managed to secure all three. Many in attendance questioned the program, suspecting cheating. However, the program denied this, and they themselves were puzzled, unable to understand why Jiang Baizhi had found all the real treasure chests alone. However, after some reflection, they ultimately concluded that it was Jiang Baizhi's lucky break.
Qu Qingdai stood quietly in front of the fountain square, gazing at the beautiful and spectacular scene. The crystal clear water droplets sparkled with colorful light under the sunlight, like a string of dazzling gemstone necklaces.
Her eyes drifted between the fountain and the surrounding scenery, and her thoughts gradually drifted away from the complexities of her past life. At this moment, she simply wanted to immerse herself in the picturesque scenery before her, allowing her mind to find a moment of peace and relaxation.
Qu Qingdai stood quietly by the fountain plaza, her eyes tenderly gazing at the ever-changing beauty of the fountain. After a moment's quiet admiration, she strode briskly toward the staff nearby. With a smile on her face, she politely inquired, "Hello, are there any treasure chest quests available here?"
Upon hearing her question, the staff member showed a look of surprise on his face, then smiled and replied, "Congratulations, beautiful lady! You are truly perceptive. You have discovered the hiding place of the treasure chest. However, to obtain the treasure chest, you need to complete the task of feeding the pigeons in the square. Are you willing to accept this task?"
Qu Qingdai nodded slightly and answered decisively, "Okay."
When the staff heard her answer, they smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, please follow me." After that, they turned and walked towards the pigeon feeding point in the square. Qu Qingdai followed closely behind, ready to start her task.
Qu Qingdai listened attentively to the staff's detailed introduction to the precautions for feeding pigeons. Although she had heard it once in her previous life, she still showed great patience and continued to listen carefully to every detail.
After the staff member finished explaining, he asked with a smile, "Ms. Qu, do you understand?"
Qu Qingdai nodded slightly, a friendly smile on her face, and responded: "Yes, yes, it's OK, thank you."
"Okay, you can go to the square to feed the pigeons. Don't worry, Miss Qu, it's really simple, and the pigeons are very cute." The staff member said patiently again.
"Okay, thank you," Qu Qingdai replied politely. She then picked up a bag of pigeon food and slowly walked towards the square. Not far away, she saw a field of cheerful pigeons, strolling and flying freely across the square, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
Qu Qingdai walked lightly to the square. She carefully opened the bag of pigeon food, fearing to disturb the cute little creatures. She stretched out her slender white hand and gently sprinkled the food on the ground.
In an instant, a flock of snow-white pigeons, as if they had heard a silent call, swarmed in from all directions and surrounded her, cooing and flapping their wings as they scrambled for food.
Qu Qingdai always had a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes were full of love, as if she was silently communicating with the pigeons. Sometimes she bent down slightly, stretched out her hand, and let the pigeons peck at her palm; sometimes she squatted down and gently stroked the pigeons' feathers, feeling their softness and warmth.
The pigeons also hovered around her fearlessly, and a few bold ones even jumped onto her shoulders and became close to her. Under the sunlight, Qu Qingdai and the pigeons formed a peaceful and beautiful picture.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also deeply attracted by the wonderful scene of Qu Qingdai feeding the pigeons, and various praises emerged in the barrage like a tide:
[Wow, the scene of Qu Qingdai feeding the pigeons is so beautiful, it makes people intoxicated! ]
[This scenery is so charming. I want to feed the pigeons next time! ]
【She is so gentle, I am such a fan! 】
【This scene is so dreamy! 】
[It's so beautiful! The people are beautiful! The pigeons are beautiful! The scenery is beautiful!]
【Ahhh! Beautiful girl stickers! 】
Qu Qingdai completed the task of feeding the pigeons calmly. However, she did not show any eagerness to ask about the treasure chest. Instead, she chose to continue playing with those lovely pigeons until the pigeons flapped their wings and flew away gradually. Only then did she come to the staff with a sense of unsatisfied desire.
"Congratulations, Miss Qu, the mission is completed. This is your treasure chest, please keep it." The staff member said to her respectfully with a smile.
"Okay, thank you." Qu Qingdai responded with a smile. She gently took the treasure chest, said goodbye to the staff, and walked towards the gathering point at a leisurely pace, slowly admiring the scenery along the way.
