A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

"200 for half a day, 350 for a full day, and 2 yuan per pound for fish, boss, that's a bit pricey!"

"It's excellent value for money, worth the price."

Does your reservoir have an outlet?

"Of course!"

Yang Qi looked excitedly at the fully armed fisherman in front of him; this was the first fisherman to come to his door in half a month.

"Are you trying to fool me?" the fisherman asked, somewhat skeptical.

Yang Qi could easily see the other party's hesitation, but the more he explained at this moment, the less others would believe him, so he said decisively, "There's no point in saying more. You'll know once you try."

Seeing the boss's confidence, the fisherman was somewhat convinced and decided to cast his line to try it out.

Since we're already here, and the reservoir is so big and the environment is so nice, there's no reason to leave empty-handed.

come all come...

"Boss, I want to fish for half a day, cash or WeChat/Alipay?"

As he spoke, he put down his fishing gear, took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and offered one to Yang Qifa.

"Want to have one with you?"

Yang Qi waved his hand, smiling sheepishly, and said, "I don't smoke, thank you!"

"Tsk, I didn't know you didn't smoke?"

"...Hehehe, I got a beating from an adult when I was little, and it left me with a psychological scar, so I never dared to do it again!"

"Hahaha, you little rascal!"

The fisherman lit a cigarette, took a puff, and continued, "I came all this way to this desolate place, originally intending to fish in the wild, but when I got closer I saw this sign and you."

"Seriously, what were you thinking, opening a fishing spot in this deep mountain forest and nobody comes?"

"Uh... I couldn't stay in the city anymore, so I came back home to start a fish farming business. In my spare time, I turned it into a fishing pond. It's only just getting started, isn't it?"

"Enough talk, pay up!"

"Okay!" Yang Qi took out a QR code sign and handed it to the fisherman.

The fisherman opened his phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

"Kid, let me make this clear from the start: I've dealt with countless bosses, and they've all blacklisted me. You can't."

You can talk about it after you catch it...

Yang Qi smiled. "Of course not!"

......

A pleasant announcement came from the phone.

"200 yuan received via WeChat!"

Just as Yang Qi's lips curled into a smile, the emotionless, mechanical voice in his mind rang out.

[Anglers +1, Water Time Increased by 10x]

[Current time multiplier: 10x]

It became.

Yang Qi took a deep breath and felt that the water in the reservoir had changed at that moment.

A tenfold time acceleration means that the fish he raises in one day are equivalent to the fish others raise in ten days.

When the population grows a hundredfold, a thousandfold, the fish in this reservoir will grow faster than pigs, and we can just sit back and count our money.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

This statement couldn't be more fitting for Yang Qi.

He received this reservoir time acceleration system two weeks ago and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He graduated from a prestigious university, earned a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, and was constantly being yelled at by his supervisor. When the system came online, he immediately wrote a resignation email, packed his things, and went back to his hometown without even handing over his work.

He used to fish at this reservoir deep in the mountains of his hometown when he was a child.

The reservoir covers an area of ​​about 100 acres, with the deepest part reaching more than ten meters. The water is crystal clear, and the area is surrounded by trees, making for an excellent environment.

Originally, the main function of this reservoir was to store water and open the gates during droughts, but now life has improved.

Because it was located deep in the mountains, and young people left, it gradually became unmanaged. Yang Qi signed a contract with the village for 5,000 yuan a year, which was so cheap it was practically free.

Then he started dreaming, dreaming of getting rich by raising fish and opening a fishing pond.

The results of it?

I spent tens of thousands of yuan managing it over half a month, but no one cared because I had no reputation. I tried all sorts of methods.

These days, Yang Qi sits by the reservoir, looking at the calm water, and his mentality is about to collapse.

They even suspected they were being tricked by the system, wondering if this thing was some kind of fraudulent brainwave.

If no one comes to fish, you can't get double the reward.

Without time acceleration, his fish won't grow big, and if the fish don't grow big, no one will fish for them, creating a vicious cycle.

Fortunately, upon initial setup, the system gave me a newbie gift pack, granting me a skill—fish control.

You can control the fish in the reservoir with your mind, and you can also store specific fish in the system space so they will stay dormant and won't die.

It should be noted that once a fish is caught and put into the net, the acceleration effect will stop.

At the same time, Yang Qi also obtained 10 large carp weighing 200 jin each, 5 grass carp weighing around 200 jin each, and 10 grass carp weighing 50 jin each.

These 25 fish are among his few large catches. The large fish in the original reservoir were mostly under 10 pounds, with small and medium-sized fish making up 99% of the total.

Now, he's going to use a 200-pound grass carp to firmly capture the heart of the fisherman in front of him.

Once you capture this person's heart, give them hope, and then unleash a devastating attack, you'll be trapped in a chain of attacks, with no chance of escape.

After all, the saying "fishermen have zero resistance to giant fish" is no exaggeration.

Judging by his gear and the fact that he can pull out a Zhonghua cigarette, his circle must be quite large. He'll definitely be a living advertisement for the world...

The more Yang Qi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he laughed himself silly.

"Hey bro, what are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

"It's nothing, bro, you go ahead and fish!"

Yang Qi came to his senses, stood to the side, and focused his mind on the water.

The underwater world within a 20-meter radius of him instantly became crystal clear, like a three-dimensional map unfolding in his mind.

You can sense the position, size, and swimming direction of every fish in that area.

A group of crucian carp were foraging in the shallow water, and several snakehead fish were hiding among the aquatic plants...

Yang Qi chose the nearest grass carp that was sucking snails.

A 200-pound fish, under his mental control, charged toward the surface of the water.

Then--

"Splash!"

A huge splash erupted on the water's surface as the bluefish leaped out of the water and flipped halfway through its body in the air.

The sunlight shone on its bluish-black scales, making them dazzlingly bright.

At that moment,

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."

Zhang Dazhuang jumped up, pointed at the water, and opened his mouth wide.

"Boss! Boss, did you see that? What is that? How big is it? A hundred pounds? No, it's more than two hundred pounds! I've been fishing for over ten years and I've never seen such a big grass carp before! My God, there really is a giant in this reservoir!"

The voice was incredibly excited.

Seeing this, Yang Qi almost couldn't help but laugh out loud; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

But we also know that this alone is not enough.

We need to add more fuel to the fire.

Yang Qi once again urged his mind to control the bluefish to swim to the shallow water area. When it was less than 3 meters from the shore, he suddenly flicked its tail.

"Snapped!"

The water splashed directly onto Zhang Dazhuang's face and body.

Zhang Dazhuang was stunned for a second.

He wiped the water from his face, looked down at his soaked clothes, and then looked up at the water.

The bluefish was still there, its huge back protruding from the water, spinning in place, its posture clearly a provocation.

It leaped out of the water right in front of him and then disappeared.

"Oh dear..."

Zhang Dazhuang jumped three feet high in anger, pointing at the water and cursing:

"You've gotten bold, haven't you? You dare splash me? Provoke me? Fine, fine, fine, if I don't lure you out today, I'm not Zhang!"

Yang Qi was holding back his laughter so hard his stomach hurt, so he quickly added, "Brother, don't talk big."

"..." Faced with Yang Qi's veiled sarcasm, Zhang Dazhuang casually handed over 150 yuan: "Boss, I want to raise the price, I'll fish all day!"

"Sure, sure." Yang Qi smiled and handed over the QR code.

"150 yuan received via WeChat!"

As the pleasant broadcast began, Yang Qi felt incredibly comfortable.

Zhang Dazhuang put away his phone, squatted down, opened his equipment bag, and confirmed that there was a huge object inside.

That look, that movement—it's got the vibe, you can't get it right, that "I'll die trying" attitude.

Yang Qi stepped aside, found a shady spot, and sat down to watch the show.

Zhang Dazhuang first set up the fishing box, adjusted the four feet, and carefully calibrated it with a level until the fishing box did not move at all.

Then I took out the fishing rods from the rod bag, checked them one by one, and finally chose a 7.2-meter big rod.

He held it in his hand and weighed it, then switched to an 8.1-meter one, comparing them several times before finally choosing the massive 8.1-meter threaded steel.

He muttered to himself, "If you don't want to come back empty-handed, put your fish in the cage early."
