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

"Why? Why?"

Li Shanliang didn't see it, but Zhang Shunhua did!

"He caught the fish so quickly?"

It's only been less than five minutes, right?

He caught a fish so quickly, though it wasn't a big one.

But so fast?

It made it seem like they'd been sitting there for three hours, like it was a joke...

"It's probably just luck..."

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Qian didn't notice his voice.

He removed the large crucian carp, weighing two pounds and six ounces, from the hook and casually tossed it into the fish basket.

The moment the fish basket entered the water, the fish's tail slapped the surface of the water with a crisp "smack".

He didn't even glance at it; he had already started kneading a ball of bait in his hand.

Hook the hook, adjust the float, and cast!

The bait traced another arc and landed near the previous spot. The float swayed gently on the surface of the water twice before slowly standing upright.

Ten minutes later.

The underwater contour map clearly shows the movement trajectory of the fish school. The fluorescent spots are converging towards the bait, even faster than before.

When that big crucian carp was pulled up, the scent of the bait spread throughout the water, attracting even more fish.

In the system's field of vision, seven or eight fish shadows were swimming rapidly in the middle of the thermocline, two of which were significantly larger than the crucian carp from before.

The bait sank to the designated depth.

The float stood steadily on the water, with three eyes showing.

one second.

two seconds.

The float moved, first slightly, then steadily rising, one mark, two marks, three marks.

Top drift!

Jiang Qian used his wrist to lift the rod.

The rod bent at an angle more than twice as wide as before, the sound of the fishing line cutting through the water was sharp and piercing, and the pull on my hand was heavy, like hanging a stone!

"Whoa!"

Jiang Qian himself couldn't help but laugh. This was definitely a super-duper big thing!

This feels like it's definitely not a crucian carp.

The fish thrashed about underwater, stirring up a large amount of murky water, and darted two meters to the left, pulling on the fishing line.

Jiang Qian took two steps to the side, lowered the pole, and didn't fight it head-on, letting it exhaust its energy.

Thirty seconds later, the fish's strength noticeably weakened.

Jiang Qian began reeling in the line, gradually bringing the fish towards the shore.

A dark green spine appeared beneath the water's surface, broad and sturdy, its scales gleaming in the sunlight.

[Fishing/Catching Proficiency +1!]

[Grass carp encyclopedia entry is now available!]

[Grass carp weight increased by 4.8 jin!]

Jiang Qian reached the net with his right hand and caught it all in one go.

"I just said I wanted grass carp, and here it is!"

Wild grass carp weighing 4.8 jin (approximately 2.4 catties).

Jiang Qian removed the hook from the fish and threw it into the fish basket, which immediately became lively as large crucian carp and grass carp jostled and splashed around.

The system's check-in time is down in two hours!

"Looks like today's harvest will be quite plentiful..."

continue!

……

A dozen meters away, Li Shanliang, at Zhang Shunhua's urging, wore the half-wrung-out wet clothes, stared at Jiang Qian's direction for a long time, then draped the clothes over his shoulder, bent down and reached towards Jiang Qian.

He stopped about two meters behind Jiang Qian, craned his neck, and stared intently at the buoy on the water's surface.

Zhang Shunhua also stood up.

His own fishing rod was still stuck in the rack, the tip of the rod not moving at all, just like a decoration.

"Kind-hearted guy, what are you doing over there?"

Without turning his head, Li Shanliang lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, let me see how he catches fish."

"No, what are you looking at? They just got lucky, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

Despite saying that, Zhang Shunhua's feet seemed to move on their own, and he took a few steps toward Jiang Qian.

Li Shanliang squatted down, his gaze fixed on the float, and muttered to himself, "With such a strong current here, how can his float stay so stable?"

"Why do you care whether the float is standing still or not? Can't you put your own clothes on first? You're soaking wet like a drowned rat."

"Can you fucking shut up?"

Li Shanliang turned around and glared at Zhang Shunhua.

Zhang Shunhua rolled her eyes. "You're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't curse your mother, aren't you..."

A pair of brothers, seemingly father and son, one squatting and one standing, stared at the body of water in front of Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian didn't notice that there were two spectators behind him and cast his third rod.

After the bait entered the water this time, the screen on the system panel looked even more spectacular.

The fish near the thermocline were completely attracted, with more than a dozen fish circling around the bait, pushing and squeezing each other, vying to get closer to the two bait balls.

The float stood upright for only about three seconds.

Then there was a sudden, violent sinking, skipping the stop-and-go process and going straight to a black drift.

Jiang Qian raised his fishing rod.

The fishing rod is bent into an arc shape, and the fishing line is taut and straight.

This fish was even stronger than the last one, pulling the fishing line several meters into the deep water, with the line snaking out of the spool.

Jiang Qian steadied himself and began to play the fish.

A minute later, another grass carp was scooped ashore.

[Fishing/Catching Proficiency +1!]

[Grass carp weight increased by 5.2 jin!]

Jiang Qian smiled and tossed the fish into the fish basket.

The fish basket had clearly sunk a bit.

The fourth cast.

The bait hit the water, the float stood still, and it took about ten seconds.

The float bobbed, I lifted the rod, and the fish was hooked.

This time, the fish took longer to play; it darted back and forth in the water four or five times before it started to turn white.

Jiang Qian dipped the net into the water and caught it steadily.

[Fishing/Catching Proficiency +1!]

[Grass carp weight increased by 6.1 jin!]

Six catties and one tael.

Each one is bigger than the last.

Jiang Qian removed the hook from the fish and stuffed it into the fish basket. The fish basket was hit with a bang in the water, and the four fish inside were huddled together and thrashing about, splashing water onto the rocks on the shore.

Li Shanliang behind him had already stood up, his arms crossed over his chest, his lips tightly pursed.

Zhang Shunhua walked to his side, his voice a little weak: "Brother Kindness, I counted."

"Stop counting."

"Four times already. Less than an hour has passed since he sat down, and four times already."

"I told you to stop counting!!! You never listen to me, I told you not to flirt with her..."

"...Could you please not mention it? The smallest weighs 2.6 jin and the largest weighs 6.1 jin, all of them are high-quality goods."

Li Shanliang took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, before turning to look at Zhang Shunhua with a very serious expression: "Shunhua, do you think we shouldn't have come today?"

Zhang Shunhua was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I've been fishing in this section of the river for three years, and I've never seen anyone catch fish in a row while the water is moving."

"I've never seen it either."

"Do you think he did his homework here beforehand? Did he stay overnight or something?"

Zhang Shunhua shook his head: "Impossible. Look at his fishing box, it's spotless. He only brought two bags of bait, not even a bait bucket."

"Then what gives him the right?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

Neither of them could answer this question.

Jiang Qian has already cast his fifth rod.

This time it took a little longer, almost a minute, before the float moved.

A slow and heavy pause.

The moment Jiang Qian lifted the fishing rod, the weight he felt made his eyebrows rise.

Shen.

It's really heavy.

The fishing rod bent at an exaggerated angle, the tip almost touching the water, and the fishing line left a long white trail in the water, rushing towards the deeper water.

The two people behind him were dumbfounded.
