I'm a junior in college this year, and I've linked my fishing check-in system.

Over the remaining hour or so, he clearly felt that there were more and more people here.

As Jiang Qian harvested more and more shrimp, he could feel the envious glances from the people nearby.

Finally, someone couldn't resist striking up a conversation:

"Holy crap! Bro, you got all of this from this shallow area?!"

Jiang Qian's answers were consistent:

"Of course, bro!"

"Damn it, bro, why can't I get it up here?"

"Let me tell you, when fishing for shrimp, you need to bait the area a lot! The more bait you use, the more shrimp you'll catch!"

Listening to their conversation.

Several old fishermen suddenly surrounded them.

As people looked at the three large bags of crystal-clear, large prawns, gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

"Wow...they're all big, delicious shrimp!"

"This must weigh at least six pounds, right? These days, you can't even find a pound of this quality at the seafood market for seventy or eighty yuan!"

Several veteran anglers looked at their equipment, worth several thousand yuan—

The envy in his eyes was almost overflowing.

It's not that they didn't go down to catch shrimp.

There are even ruthless nest-digging experts.

But in the end, it benefited others!

As the veteran anglers finally arrived, they all looked at his three large bags of shrimp with envy.

Jiang Qian smiled.

"Even the most seasoned anglers got this news slower than I did!"

No wonder this system is called a fishing check-in system; it turns out that the so-called check-in points are actually fishing spots!

As long as he follows the system, he can always get ahead of everyone else and snatch the first wave of the fattest wild game!

With a ding, Jiang Qian felt the transparent panel in front of him reappear:

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed one item on the checklist!]

[The host can now choose one random reward!]

[Reward 1: A lost recipe for whitebait (compared to the current mainstream methods, it lacks two seasonings)]

[Reward 2: 100 RMB]

"Is this the random reward?"

Looking at the rewards in front of him, Jiang Qian exclaimed, "These two rewards are on completely different levels!"

Just kidding, this kind of intangible cultural heritage that has been lost is definitely worth more than a hundred dollars!

Of course, a thousand dollars is another matter.

"This way of cooking silverfish... maybe we could open a shop sometime? Or perhaps try something else?"

Jiang Qian chose reward 1 without hesitation, and the virtual panel quickly provided the instructions.

He noted down what he had done in his phone's notes, "I don't need it yet..."

"Whatever! Let's go sell shrimp first!"

He couldn't wait!

……

Half an hour later.

Jiang Qian, carrying a heavy plastic bag, arrived at the South Ring Aquatic Products Market with practiced ease.

As soon as I arrived at the seafood section, I heard several vendors huddled together complaining.

"Boss, do you buy wild shrimp?"

Jiang Qian walked to the nearest large stall.

The bald boss was leaning back in his recliner, scrolling through short videos, and waved his hand impatiently:

"No, no! A bunch of people came asking today, but we don't buy shrimp you catch by hand. The shallows around Egret Park are full of empty-shelled, shriveled little shrimp; it wouldn't even cover the labor costs!"

Jiang Qian ignored him and walked deeper into the market with the bag in his hand.

I asked two companies, and they both gave the same answer.

"Don't bother, classmate."

The owner of the third stall was a thin, middle-aged man who was more amiable towards Jiang Qian.

"This batch of wild game is no good. I went to the lake myself half an hour ago, and there wasn't even a decent shrimp whisker left. What can you put in a few tattered plastic bags..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Jiang Qian was too lazy to waste words; if he kept asking questions like this, he would miss lunch.

He simply untied the knot in the plastic bag in his hand and turned the opening down.

"Splash!"

With a splash, a top-quality prawn, about 15 or 16 centimeters long, glossy and still lively, jumped out of the bag and landed on the middle-aged boss's electronic scale with a "thud"!

The cigarette butt in the boss's mouth fell out.

He suddenly jumped up from his chair.

He stared intently at the plastic bag in Jiang Qian's hand, which was full of large green shrimp.

"Holy crap?!"

The boss gasped, his voice rising eight octaves:

"So fat? Turns out there were good catches in the lake today, but they're all in your hands, kid!"

Several shrimp vendors who had previously ignored the commotion heard the noise.

They all surrounded them.

"Good heavens! This guy's going to monopolize all the high-end goods in this lake area today!"

"Young man, sell me these shrimp! I'll pay seventy-five!"

"Get lost! You want this top-quality wild prawn for seventy-five?"

Upon hearing this, the gaunt boss burst into tears, clutching Jiang Qian's plastic bag tightly, and said firmly:

"Young man, 81 jin! I'll take it all! I won't let this good stuff go to someone else's stall!"

Jiang Qian smiled.

Eighty-one jin (approximately 40.5 kg) – that's the absolute maximum price for wild green shrimp!

The shrimp vendors are so arrogant because they've got their eyes on the monopolistic position of this batch of shrimp in today's market; they can double their money by reselling it to high-end restaurants.

"Okay, weigh it."

Apart from the two pounds of the fattest extra food that Jiang Qian had specially set aside for himself, the rest were all weighed.

"WeChat payment received, 564 yuan!"

Hearing the crisp female voice notification from his phone, Jiang Qian felt a sense of relief.

I casually spent over an hour by the lake, which is equivalent to almost half a semester's worth of school-level scholarship money!

Making money can indeed cure all troubles.

"Eat, eat, eat."

There's a shop that's far from the school; it takes a long time to get there by bike. But he used to be too busy to come over.

I finally have some free time!

……

A familiar noodle shop in Aozao.

It's lunchtime now, and the restaurant is packed.

"Oh? Little Jiang is here!"

The boss peeked out from the kitchen.

"What bad luck today! It's rare to see you here, but I went to the seafood market this morning to buy supplies, and I heard that all the wild shrimp from Bailuyuan were snapped up by some amazing person. So, we can't make our signature shrimp pan-fried dumplings today!"

Jiang Qian pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Boss, look what this is?"

The boss was taken aback. He opened the plastic bag and saw the lively, wriggling prawns inside. His eyes lit up, and he carried the prawns into the kitchen.

"Hey kid! So you've got it all here!"

Before long, the rich aroma of meat juices, mixed with the unique sweetness of wild shrimp, filled the hall.

The smell of the food made the rice bowls in the nearby office buildings, which had just finished get off work, suddenly lose their appeal.

Just as Jiang Qian was eating with his head down, a clear and pleasant voice came from the side.

"Excuse me, does anyone want to share a table here?"

Jiang Qian turned his head.

But what I saw was an astonishingly beautiful face.

Her face was extremely small, only the size of a palm, with most of her chin hidden inside the neckline of her black sweatshirt, making her neck appear even whiter and longer.

At this moment, because of her haste, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyelashes were a bit too long, casting a small shadow on her eyelids when they drooped down, trembling slightly.

She was an extremely beautiful young girl, wearing a simple black hoodie and jeans.
