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

After the two finished ordering the hot pot base, there was a long silence. Dai Zhenli opened her phone and started reading a female-oriented novel.

Jiang Qian was lost in thought when Dai Zhenli tapped his chopsticks with hers. "What are you thinking about?"

He looked into her captivating eyes, thought for a moment, and decided not to spoil the mood of the date, saying:

"I wasn't thinking about anything."

Dai Zhenli blinked, seemingly guessing what he was thinking, and said with a smile:

"Look over there."

Jiang Qian turned his head and saw that Senior Brother Wang had already fully utilized his personal abilities to become sworn brothers with Brother Wang.

"Do you understand now?"

Jiang Qian's eyes lit up.

Actually, he was just struggling with this very issue.

After fishing for fifteen days, he felt that his life had been completely turned upside down.

But when he met those people from the past again, he realized, "This won't work."

I have chosen a new way of life, not escaped from the real world.

Even Du Fu needed thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor and make them happy. What can I do with my current level?

The problem lies here: how can I help them?

But Dai Zhenli tapped him and woke him up. Yes, he had many ways to do it.

Thinking about this, Jiang Qian felt that when he was fishing, he should help the people around him more, such as participating in lure fishing open competitions.

Even if he switched to fishing, he would still try his best to help those around him, to make their lives better, and to make his own life better too. He wanted Dai Zhenli to run his company well, for Wang Shixiong to have a good ending, and for Jiang Zhiguo to get fewer beatings at home...

Oh, the last one seems pretty difficult to do. I feel like if I dared to ask the great Ms. Chen to give Jiang Zhiguo a few less beatings, I'd probably get a good beating myself.

Jiang Zhiguo, you suffer; I'll bear the blame.

Startled by Dai Zhenli's tap, Jiang Qian snapped out of his daze. Dai Zhenli smiled and placed a piece of meat on his plate: "Try it!"

Jiang Qian was taken aback.

This is a bit too ambiguous...

It's just a piece of meat, so go in without hesitation!

He felt the spiciness burst in his mouth, and only then did he realize what was happening, coughing violently twice.

Jiang Qian was on the verge of tears, thinking, "Damn it."

This poet?

He glared angrily at Dai Zhenli while drinking water.

Dai Zhenli chuckled: "Who told you to ignore me on your date!"

The date ended quickly and happily.

Putting aside the fact that his mushroom soup pot inexplicably turned into a spicy pot at the end, Jiang Qian felt that today was quite interesting.

And the senior student is really pretty...

But after watching enough, that was about it. Jiang Qian felt sore all over today, as if he had spent the entire morning fishing.

I had no desire to do any more lousy work, so I went home openly and honestly.

But when they arrived at Wenyuan Apartment, they found cat food scattered all over the floor and a broken sofa...

His skin turned red.

"Boss Cat...you just wait!"

……

The cat owner passed away peacefully.

……

The next morning!

Jiang Qian slowly got out of bed, feeling a slight headache.

Last night, after Dai Zhenli and I got home, we saw that the cat owner had somehow opened the bag of cat food and then scattered the cat food all over the floor...

Although the two of them smiled at each other and both knew perfectly well that it was the result of not feeding the cat owner all day, they were determined to find fault with him.

I don't know if it's because I hit the cat owner too hard last night and disturbed some cat cult spirit, but I woke up today feeling like I hadn't slept well.

A ding sounded in his ear, and a look of delight appeared on his face:

"There's a photo spot!"

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking a new seasonal check-in spot: Dianshan Lake]

The lake breeze here is gentle, and the land is bountiful and abundant.

[Unlock a brand new reward after checking in for three hours!]

Main species found in this region: mud crab.

"Blue crab?"

"Are there still blue crabs in Dianshan Lake?"

Was this intentional? And is this even related to LeBron James?

Jiang Qian hadn't expected that this time the system would actually be able to activate such a function.

"How many mud crabs are there?"

Yes, that's so LeBron!

The first thing I did after receiving the checkpoint information was to invite friends and family to join me.

Thinking about it, the difficulty of catching these blue crabs is actually not high; it's a baby-level challenge, and even a child could catch two.

It's perfect for a seasoned angler like Lao Li, who has been fishing for fifteen years.

So he sent a message to Lao Li:

"Hey Li, wanna go to Dianshan Lake? I'll take you to get a ton of loot!"

Old Li replied readily: "I'll come pick you up right away!"

【wait for me!】

Jiang Qian originally thought that everyone else in the group would respond, but no one replied to his message.

However, Senior Brother Wang has some news:

Thank you, junior brother.

Now, Yang Wensu in the lab is much nicer to me, and he even said he'd give me an extra 5000 yuan for every job I do in the future.

This way, things will be a bit easier at home too.

Jiang Qian knew that Senior Brother Wang supported his younger sister and elderly mother by taking on side jobs. The 5000 yuan was nothing to the research group, and even to Yang Wensu it was just a meal.

But for Senior Brother Wang, it almost completely eased the financial burden on his family.

This made him feel very happy, but he was still a little puzzled as to why.

However, after recalling for a moment, he quickly realized that it was probably because Senior Brother Wang had shown a good relationship with Reagent Brother Wang yesterday, which meant that Senior Brother Wang was no longer being bullied as much.

Old Li's phone rang soon after, and Jiang Qian got up to prepare to leave to pick up Boss Cat.

Although I beat up the cat boss yesterday, Dai Zhenli is busy, so I'll keep the cat boss with me.

……

An hour later.

Old Li parked his car steadily beside the wild road by Dianshan Lake.

Jiang Qian got out of the car and took a deep breath.

[Congratulations, host, you have arrived near the checkpoint!]

[Timeout begins!]

Jiang Qian surveyed the water in front of him. The lake was wide and the water was bluish-green. Several egrets flew low in the distance.

The scenery of Dianshan Lake is still very beautiful.

"It really just the two of us?" Old Li pulled his gear out of the trunk, a hint of regret in his voice. "I was hoping to see if any spectators would come to watch us fishing!"

"It should be soon; we've just arrived at the wrong time."

According to Jiang Qian's experience, a large influx of people will only arrive after they have had a successful harvest.

Oh no, it's a lot of people. After all, most of the anglers are men.

Just as Jiang Qian was holding the cat boss and preparing to look for the blue crab that the system had mentioned, he heard Old Li say:

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Qian looked down and saw that Old Li, who was preparing to fish on the riverbank, was being attacked by a blue crab!

Old Li finally saw what was attacking him, and instead of being angry, he was overjoyed: "A blue crab!"

"What a huge blue crab!"

"This time it doesn't count as the air force!"

It was heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see; this was the first time Old Li had caught anything while fishing all year!

Although it wasn't fish, at least we caught something!

His eyes welled up with tears.
