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

Jiang Qian's mind suddenly felt like it had been bombarded by something.

"A Yangtze giant softshell turtle?!"

Jiang Qian, who was quite good at ecology, was well aware of the importance of this.

The Yangtze giant softshell turtle is a Class I protected animal in China, and its numbers are few and extremely precious.

Jiang Qian's brain worked at lightning speed, and he quickly remembered—

"This thing..."

There are only two left in the world.

They were all male.

"And this one..."

Jiang Qian didn't know whether this thing was female or male.

But he knew.

For a population of only two Yangtze giant softshell turtles remaining...

This applies to both him and the species.

They will bring about tremendous changes!

Jiang Qian looked at the giant softshell turtle and suddenly laughed.

"Alright, alright, that's better now!"

Without hesitation, he opened his phone, ready to start his journey to wealth!

Just kidding, of course I'd cash in on this kind of stuff immediately after catching it. I, Jiang Qian, am a lawyer...

"Hello, is this 110? I caught a Yangtze giant softshell turtle while fishing..."

I, Jiang Qian, am a guardian of the law!

Jiang Qian isn't stupid, is he? These are the only two wild animals left.

Even if sold, it would only be treated as an ordinary Chinese soft-shelled turtle.

Jiang Qian has a deep impression of a case in Vietnam a couple of years ago, where a suspected Yangtze giant softshell turtle was sold as a regular softshell turtle.

However, you can actually get money by handing over these protected animals.

"not to mention……"

In fact, Jiang Qian had other thoughts. As a biology major, he was well aware of the importance of cherishing life.

In fact, protecting wild animals is a very useful thing.

The disappearance of any one population within a community has an immeasurable impact on the entire community.

A thriving population of Yangtze giant softshell turtles might just transform the entire community into something completely different from what it used to be.

The shift in ecological niches and the flourishing of new flora and fauna will bring enormous benefits to humankind.

Perhaps some rare ingredients will become less rare, allowing more people to access better medicines.

"Compared to this, keeping this thing for myself is completely useless."

To put it bluntly, the Chinese soft-shelled turtle looks even plumper and juicier.

"And the prize money for this trip is probably quite substantial..."

He thought for a moment and then began to clean up the giant softshell turtle.

Old Li walked over, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what's going on?"

Why did you call the police?

Boss Ji of the dam nodded in agreement. "You just said this is a Yangtze giant softshell turtle? What does that mean? Is this softshell turtle very powerful?"

Jiang Qian glanced back at the two men, and seeing the admiration in their eyes, he knew they genuinely didn't recognize the mandarin duck, after all, they were both air force personnel…

Combat units within the Air Force.

Putting everything else aside, it's truly remarkable that Boss Ji, who runs a guesthouse right next to the dam, is also famous for his connection to the Air Force.

Hey, you know what, the name "Boss Ji of the Dam" sounds pretty impressive...

These two air force pilots have already seen turtles, which means they were already considered good catches by fellow anglers.

Wang Sen walked out from the back of the room woodenly and said, "This is a Yangtze giant softshell turtle."

"How come you can even fish up this thing...?"

As someone who sells reagents, Wang Sen naturally had basic biological knowledge, and he recognized it as a Yangtze giant softshell turtle at a glance.

But he was truly jealous—

Why should I?

Why is it that I work myself to death fishing all day and come up empty-handed, while you keep catching crucian carp, and occasionally a small turtle is fine too?

You managed to fish up this kind of creature?

Wang Sen felt that the world was truly diverse.

Although he had realized this long ago, having only started selling reagents after graduating with a master's degree in biology.

The problem is that he never considered that there are differences in amniotic fluid and luck in the world; he originally thought that fishing was no different.

Who knew the unevenness would be even greater...

"Brother Wang, could you explain what this thing is?" asked the dam owner, puzzled.

"This is a Yangtze giant softshell turtle, a Class I protected animal in China. There are only two left in the world. Sigh... It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others."

Old Li let out a long sigh.

I'm used to it, I'm used to it...

The dam owner was startled, then overjoyed, exclaiming, "A Class I protected animal?"

"Really?"

Jiang Qian nodded. "That's possible."

He could actually guarantee it, since the system was unlikely to make a mistake, but he still had to be more discreet with his words.

But when Boss Ji of the dam heard this, he was overjoyed. "Our place has such a good ecological environment?"

"There really is such a rare creature?"

"Doesn't that mean..." Boss Ji from the dam burst into laughter, "that our place is a fishing paradise?"

"The environment is so beautiful!"

Old Li and Wang Sen exchanged a glance, their eyes both conveying the unspoken message, "It's not that the environment is good, it's that this guy has amazing luck," but neither of them spoke.

Damn it, we can't be the only ones getting scammed.

Boss Ji, the owner of the dam, smiled and patted Jiang Qian on the shoulder, "Thanks, young man!"

Are you going to the Fisheries Bureau now?

"Come on, come on, Old Li and I will see you off together."

They all knew that Wang Sen had other matters to attend to.

Speaking of the Fisheries Administration, Jiang Qian became somewhat curious. He looked at Wang Sen, only to find...

……

Twenty minutes later.

The car was parked in front of the fisheries management office.

Actually, saying it's the entrance is quite difficult; they went to the nearest fisheries management department, which is basically the one for Yinshan Lake.

It's just a few clerks, with each person having their own private office.

Old Li, familiar with the place, pushed open the door and went inside.

The receptionist, flipping through documents, glanced up briefly, and let out a long sigh:

"Old Li, it's you again?"

The clerk sighed, his tone revealing helplessness.

Jiang Qian couldn't hold back any longer.

What does this mean? Does Old Li come here often? Or...?

How come everyone knows that Lao Li is the King of the Air Force?

Old Li was a little embarrassed, so he stepped aside to let Jiang Qian pass:

"This young man didn't come here to fish; he caught a big one."

Jiang Qian smiled and took over the conversation, saying, "Hello, during my sporadic acquisition of aquatic products today, I accidentally obtained a Yangtze giant softshell turtle that I suspect is a protected animal."

"I hope to hand over this Yangtze giant softshell turtle."

The clerk put down his pen, looked up at Jiang Qian, and his eyes were full of doubt.

He stood up and praised Jiang Qian:

"Sure, that's kind of you."

"Yellow softshell turtle... let me see, young man, wait a moment."

He said he was just looking at it, but he didn't really take it seriously.

Almost every month, people catch Chinese soft-shelled turtles, mistaking them for Yangtze giant soft-shelled turtles.

This kind of person is actually quite kind-hearted, and it's hard to say anything about it, but he also likes fishing.

He was annoyed every time he got splattered in the face by those turtles they caught...

He opened the bucket and thought he would just go through the motions.

But when he opened the bucket, he stood there blankly, his eyes filled with confusion.

He felt as if he had seen something incredible.

Holy crap!
