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

Without warning, the buoy on the water surface suddenly sank!

Jiang Qian could clearly feel the weight in his hands!

This force was steady and domineering, completely unlike any of the previous types of fish!

Jiang Qian could clearly sense that this fish was very ferocious!

With a "whoosh," the entire float disappeared underwater in an instant!

Jiang Qian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly exerted force with his wrist, thrusting upwards.

The fishing line snapped straight instantly, making a sickeningly loud sound!

Immediately afterwards, an extremely forceful force plunged down the fishing line!

The fishing rod was stretched into a taut bow!

The old man next to him also noticed it and wondered to himself:

"Is this young man loading another big truck?"

Jiang Qian had already gained some experience, so he started to play the fish, patiently waiting it out in the water.

They strolled for a good seven or eight minutes.

The giant creature below finally lost its strength and floated to the surface, its white belly exposed.

Jiang Qian took a closer look.

It has a broad back, black leopard-print spots on a dark yellow background, a large mouth like a basin, and dorsal fins that stand upright like a row of sharp steel needles.

Wild mandarin fish!

"Holy shit!"

There's still this damn thing!

Jiang Qian scooped it up with his net and pulled it ashore with all his might!

"Splash!"

Fishing Proficiency +1

Splashes of water!

"Wow, it's so fat!" Jiang Qian exclaimed, looking at the fish.

This fish is so fat!

A rough weighing of it would give it at least four and a half pounds!

This is real whole wheat bread.

What kind of roadside cat shop is the owner?

"This stuff..." Jiang Qian thought to himself with deep emotion, "This is what the harvest of this season should be like."

As the saying goes, "Peach blossoms float on flowing water, and mandarin fish grow fat."

This is the time when mandarin fish are at their fattest.

Wild mandarin fish during this season have extremely firm flesh, making them a truly hard commodity in the seafood market—priceless and unavailable!

Jiang Qian turned his head curiously and saw the cat boss examining the mandarin fish.

This is the first time that the cat owner hasn't acted first when he saw this kind of fish.

It pondered cautiously, seemingly weighing the difference in strength between the two.

Jiang Qian was somewhat puzzled.

"You're not a house cat, so why are you afraid of fish?"

"Putting aside the fact that this fish is bigger than you, what's the difference between you and being afraid of mice?"

The cat owner looked up at Jiang Qian, as if to say, "Do I want some too?"

"coward!"

After angrily rebuking the cat boss for his cowardice, Jiang Qian shook his head and glanced at the system panel:

Mandarin fish

[Total weight: 4 jin (4 jin more to upgrade)]

【Habit 1: Mandarin fish are ambush hunters with a strong sense of territory. They like to ambush prey by hiding in obstacles.】

Habit 2: ...

"We were really lucky this time."

After all, this is a carnivorous fish.

For most people, they would use lure fishing!

He was only able to catch it by pure luck.

For others, this is something that would be hard to find even with lure fishing, so Jiang Qian was naturally satisfied.

"I'll get a new lure rod in a few days."

Jiang Qian thought to himself.

He was just about to pack his things when someone nudged him.

Just as Jiang Qian was about to turn his head to look, he saw the old man staring at him in disbelief.

"What a huge fish!"

"Wow, such a fat mandarin fish! Kid, you actually managed to catch one?!"

"Young man, this is... too good!"

"Yeah, it stubbornly made its way up here," Jiang Qian chuckled. "Lucky, lucky!"

The old man fell silent, then looked again at his empty premium live fish bucket.

Do these fish in the water recognize people?

He fished for ages but didn't catch anything!

But this young man doesn't talk about wood!

An extremely absurd sense of frustration and defeat instantly drained the old man of all his strength.

The old man's hands trembled slightly.

He sighed deeply, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen.

"I've been fishing for half my life, and it all ended up in a dog's belly."

The old man shook his head.

He carried the empty bucket and walked away with a slightly hunched back.

My Dao heart is shattered!

The once-genius grandpa, now...

Jiang Qian shook his head.

He packed up his fishing gear, picked up the heavy bucket, and turned to leave.

"How much can these fish sell for?"

Jiang Qian was somewhat curious.

Although mandarin fish is inexpensive, this one is quite plump!

"And two more big silverfish!"

"Also, there's this... crab."

Jiang Qian looked at the bucket.

After all, he had never eaten crabs in the spring, so he didn't know how many of these crabs could be sold.

Jiang Qian walked for a while and learned that there was a place near Yinshan Lake where fish were collected.

"Hopefully, this money from the fish will help me earn a little more..."

Jiang Qian walked to a shady spot by the roadside, and sure enough, there were several tricycles used for collecting fish parked there.

A middle-aged fishmonger was sitting on a chair next to his car.

He looks like...

Feeling a little worried?

Jiang Qian leaned closer, somewhat curious.
