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

In an instant, the standoff was broken.

The head of the grass carp was pulled out of the water with a thud, and it fell back into the water. It briefly lost its strength and seemed to be pulled towards the shore.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

"A 400-pound grass carp, being led around by one person? It didn't even have the strength to resist."

"I knew we'd catch it, hahaha!"

"Don't be too happy yet, it's not ashore yet! A 400-pound grass carp can't be subdued so easily."

Is it so hard to admit that someone else is strong?

"The outcome is still uncertain, so shut up and watch."

"I'm getting anxious!"

"..."

There were all sorts of opinions, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the bluefish being slowly dragged across the water.

Gu Caipang looked at his father, his mouth slightly open, his expression changing from shock to confusion.

When did this old man acquire this strength?

In his memory, Gu Shang was a businessman and also a passionate fisherman. He even had Gu Shang take him fishing.

But every time Gu Cai Pang went fishing with Gu Shang, he either came back empty-handed or got caught by the fish.

Where is it now, with a 400-pound grass carp right across from me, I can handle it with such ease.

The contrast was so stark that Gu Caipang found it hard to accept. The man in front of him was a completely different person from the old Deng, the air force bigwig in his memory.

This technique of playing the fish so well makes the giant creature in front of it lose all composure.

Old Deng has a secret, and he dares to keep it from me.

Gu Caipang narrowed his eyes, staring at Gu Shang's back, silently making a mental note of this.

Compared to the excited fishermen around him, Yang Qi felt a bit numb.

He crossed his arms over his chest, his expression quite complex.

What was that just now? Breathing technique, no, it was fishing technique.

As Gu Shang took that deep breath, Yang Qi vaguely sensed something.

An invisible energy surged from Gu Shang's body, unleashing astonishing power within him.

It's completely illogical to say that there was energy flowing around his body at that moment.

The feeling after practicing the basic fishing luck techniques with him was different, but the results were about the same.

Is there something in the fishing world that he doesn't know?

Yang Qi had a question mark in his mind.

He always thought that fishing was just about baiting, casting, waiting, and pulling, with the most important things being choosing a spot, adjusting the float, and preparing the bait.

But Gu Shang's actions just now clearly exceeded this scope.

That rhythmic breathing, that technique of concentrating all the strength in one's body to unleash power—that kind of thing that defies science, Yang Qi was completely bewildered.

If it weren't for the system he himself possessed, he would have seriously doubted whether Gu Shang was even human.

Despite his shock, Yang Qi remained clear-headed.

Judging from this situation, it seems that the 400-pound bluefish is really going to fall into Gu Shang's hands.

The 400-pound grass carp didn't even live for three days in the reservoir before it had to say goodbye.

Yang Qi felt he had lost out badly; he had only spent 350 yuan to catch a 400-pound fish, a deal that was a complete loss.

I don't know if he'd be willing to go back to fish.

The next second, Yang Qi shook his head. It was highly unlikely; he was too rich.

If the fish costs 2 yuan per jin (500g), and the total is over 800 yuan, would he even care?

The tycoon, the tycoon, I'm sure he has a way to transfer him away. Oh well, it's his skill to be able to catch him.

I accept my fate.

Yang Qi looked at the struggling bluefish on the surface of the water, feeling a mixture of joy and worry.

The good news is that there's more than just this one big fish in the reservoir. The 1000-jin dragon-shaped koi hasn't been released yet, nor have the two 600-jin iron-headed grass carp.

What worries me is that my heart is bleeding; if I take out the 400-pound grass carp to sell, I can only earn a few tens of thousands of yuan.

The grass carp was still struggling to survive.

But every time it tried to exert its strength, Gu Shang neutralized it.

It felt like two people were playing chess, engaging in a strategic game. Qingyu made one move, and Gu Shang made three.

When the fish swims to the left, the rod should be swung to the left.

When you're out of energy, reel in the line; when you're exerting force, reel in the line again. Play the fish, play the fish.

Someone muttered under their breath:

"This fish-handling technique looks so smooth; I'd like to try it myself."

"Come on, that's a skill, what do you know?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have that skill; I can't even catch a 20-pound fish."

"Hey bro, everyone goes through a process, take it slow."

Two hours passed quickly after a thrilling fish-catching adventure.

No one cast their line; everyone watched as Gu Shang battled wits and courage with the 400-pound grass carp.

No one felt bored, and no one felt it was a waste of time.

The opportunity to witness someone single-handedly take on a 400-pound behemoth is rare.

After two hours of fierce fighting, Gu Shang's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he had exhausted most of his strength.

A 400-pound fish is still too much of a strain. I can't keep going like this. If I wait for it to recover its strength, all my efforts will have been in vain.

Thinking of this, Gu Shang took a deep breath, his chest expanding to its limit, and shouted, "Get up..."

A loud shout, with extremely strong penetrating power, made all the fishermen hold their breath to witness this final moment.

Among them were people who had already turned on their phones to record the conversation.

The fishing rod suddenly jerked up from a low position, the fishing line stretched to its limit, and emitted a long "humming" sound.

On the surface of the water, the exhausted bluefish was quickly pulled out of the water.

Gu Shang pulled her ashore.

A massive 400-pound object appeared before everyone, and time seemed to stand still.

Then, a deafening roar erupted.

"It's caught it! It really's caught it!"

"400 jin, four hundred jin of grass carp, my God."

"I witnessed history!"

Some people jumped up in excitement.

Someone was hugging the person next to them and shouting.

Some people's hands were shaking as they held up their phones.

Some of these anglers have been fishing for decades, while others have only recently gotten into it.

But I will never forget what happened today.

The massive object, weighing over 400 kilograms and nearly four meters long, lay horizontally on the shore like a stranded miniature submarine.

The sunlight shone on its bluish-black scales, each scale as big as a child's palm, with edges gleaming with a dark golden luster.

The fish's mouth opened and closed, revealing its oral cavity and thick teeth.

People on the shore formed a circle upon circle, three layers deep. Newcomers couldn't squeeze in and had to stand on tiptoe to look inside. Some even moved a stone to stand on.

The clicking of mobile phone and camera shutters filled the air.

As the crowd cheered, Gu Shang swayed slightly.

He was kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with one hand, panting heavily.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, temples, and chin.

Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

Tsk tsk tsk, 400 pounds and you're already like this, looks like I still have a very, very long way to go...

Gu Shang looked down at his hands, trying to adjust his breathing and recover from this state of exhaustion.

Old Deng...

Gu Caipang cried out in his heart, extremely anxious, the moment he saw Gu Shang kneeling on the ground.

He pushed through the crowd and rushed over.

"Get out of the way!"

Gu Cai's plump, round body became the perfect human-shaped heavy truck, squeezing through the gaps in the crowd.

He squatted down, supporting Gu Shang's arm with one hand and his back with the other, and helped him up from the ground.

Gu Cai Pang said in a low voice, with a sarcastic tone, "Old Deng, if you can't do it, don't show off. I'm not ready to inherit the family business yet."

"Gu, Tian, ​​Yu, I'm just exhausted..."

Gu Shang muttered a curse under his breath, but a warm feeling welled up inside him. This chubby guy, he seemed pretty good after all…

He smiled, not revealing their relationship, and said, "Thanks."

At this moment, Yang Qi also ran over, extremely nervous.

"Brother Gu, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital? I'll take you there; my brother has a tricycle, it'll be quick."

He was genuinely nervous.

Who is this person? He arrived in a helicopter. If something were to happen to someone like him in his reservoir, he wouldn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

Injury, heatstroke, exhaustion, myocardial infarction—any one of these could upset him, and the fishing spot would be closed.

Please, please, please don't let anything happen to you.

Seeing Yang Qi's even more anxious expression than his own, Gu Cai Pang said irritably, "Brother Yang, don't worry, this guy won't die. He'll be fine after a rest."

Yang Qi was shocked and, without saying a word, reached out and covered Gu Cai Pang's mouth.

"Shh..."

He lowered his voice, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, shook his head, and his eyes conveyed a clear meaning—

Don't say anything more; we can't afford to offend such an important person.

Gu Cai Pang made two "uh-uh" sounds as he was covered, his eyes wide open.

"Brother Yang, take your hand away."

Gu Shang watched this scene, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He was more nervous about a stranger than his own son.

As for why, he knew perfectly well.

It's simply because they're afraid of getting into trouble and being suppressed.

"I'm fine." Gu Shang, having recovered, pushed away Gu Cai Pang's hand and stood up straight.

Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, send a transport plane over. I need to get this 400-pound grass carp back. Hurry."

The person on the other end of the phone simply replied, "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shang handed the phone to Gu Cai Pang:

"Hey Fatty, thanks for helping me earlier. Could you take a few pictures for me?"
