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

The dragon-shaped koi happily circled in place, its joyful expression resembling that of a child eating spicy snacks.

A moment later, the dragon-shaped fish head turned around, its golden vertical pupils staring straight at the shore.

I looked at the anglers sitting on their tackle boxes, completely unaware of the impending doom.

The next second, it moved.

The fish swung its tail violently and rushed towards the surface of the water at an extremely fast speed.

It broke through the water a dozen meters from the shore.

Its golden body leaped from the water, reaching a height of five meters.

The sunlight shone on its scales, making them radiate golden light.

Its body stretched out in mid-air, its dragon-like head held high, and two golden whiskers fluttered in the wind.

It opened its mouth and let out a roar.

Deep, resonant, like the bellowing of a cow, echoed above the reservoir.

"What, what is that?! What is that thing?!"

"A fish, a fish, a golden fish!"

"Look at its head, that's not a fish head, that's a dragon's head."

Holy crap, seriously.

"..."

The fishermen who were nearby were so frightened that they took several steps back and fell to the ground.

Their expressions were uniform, but their pupils dilated in shock.

The dragon-shaped koi flipped over in mid-air, flicked its tail, and plunged back into the water.

The dragon-shaped koi carp didn't leave; instead, a golden shadow appeared on the water's surface, swimming around.

"It's there!"

"My God, how many monsters are still in this reservoir?!"

Just a few seconds later, the dragon-shaped koi carp dived to the bottom of the water.

Looking at the fishhooks, he opened his mouth and pulled out 20 fishhooks at once, then exerted a sudden burst of force.

The 20-meter fishing rod broke in two, with the upper half flying off.

"Ah yeah..."

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The owners of 20 fishing rods all fell into the water.

Ignoring the gasps from the shore, the dragon-shaped koi continued its work, sweeping across the reservoir from one end to the other.

No one was spared; they were all attacked, and no fishing rod could withstand its blow.

Wang Jian was standing at his fishing spot when, before he could react, his fishing rod suddenly sank.

He instinctively hugged the pole tightly, pushed off the ground with both feet, and leaned back.

But once again, I experienced the feeling of flying out of the water. As the rod broke, there was a "plop" and water splashed everywhere.

Lin Zaitian was in no better shape. With a tug from the dragon-shaped koi, he was dragged into the water before he could even shout.

Zhang Guolu, Chen Ming, and Dai Jiangyang, one after another, all went into the water.

After circling around, there were hardly any people left on the shore.

The dragon-shaped koi swam down to Gu Shang's fishing spot.

This man is the only person in the entire reservoir who has never been touched by it.

Gu Shang watched as all the fishermen fell into the water, and then it was his turn. The float sank.

He reacted extremely quickly, gripping the pole with both hands, squatting in a horse stance, and lifting it upwards.

The tip of the rod bent, but it didn't break.

That fishing rod withstood the attack of a 400-pound grass carp.

However, the rod made a creaking sound under the first impact of the dragon-shaped koi.

The dragon-shaped koi carp was stunned, but it didn't break.

Surprisingly, the pole didn't break, so I increased the force and pulled it down.

Gu Shang was dragged forward, gritting his teeth, the veins on his arms bulging.

"Hold on... steady!"

Take a deep breath, swing your back, and pull your arms back sharply.

The dragon-shaped koi was pulled and enraged, and an overwhelming force traveled along the fishing line to the fishing rod.

This time, Gu Shang's pole broke.

Gu Shang was pulled into the water by the strong force, and fell backward due to the sudden release of force.

I choked on several mouthfuls of water.

When he stood up, the water was already up to his waist.

He still held half a fishing rod in his hand, watching the golden shadow on the water gradually disappear into the distance.

mouth open

Gu Cai Pang was the only one present who wasn't dragged into the mess.

It wasn't because he was skilled; it was because his fishing rod hadn't even been put into the water.

He hasn't fished since this morning.

At this moment, looking at the mess on the shore and in the water.

Broken poles were scattered everywhere, people and horses were overturned, and hats and slippers floated on the water.

Some of the fishermen who fell into the water had already climbed ashore, some were still struggling in the water looking for their equipment, and some were standing in waist-deep water, completely dumbfounded.

Two hundred and sixty-eight people all fell into the water.

Not one left.

Seeing his father fall into the water, Gu Cai Pang stared wide-eyed at Yang Qi, anxiously pleading, "Brother Yang, Brother Yang, quickly call the police to rescue him!"

Looking at the messy scene across the reservoir, Yang Qi covered his face, realizing he had gone a bit too far.

The dragon-shaped koi carp watched the fishermen thrashing about in the water from the bottom, seemingly finding it very amusing.

So it weaved among the drowning people, popping its head up at one person's feet and flicking its tail over there, splashing water onto their faces.

Someone reached out to grab it, but it swished its tail and scurried away.

It swam up to someone, rolled its eyes, and then sank.

It swam up to another person, blew a string of bubbles, and they floated onto that person's face and burst.

Yang Qi watched this scene, then glanced at Gu Cai Pang, who was about to call the police, and gave a mental command: "That's enough, you can stop now."

The dragon-shaped koi received the command and swam more than twenty meters away, stopping far away from everyone.

Then it rolled over, belly up, its golden belly shimmering in the sunlight.

It floated on its back on the water, its tail swaying from time to time.

That posture was as relaxed as could be, and as infuriating as could be.

While maintaining its balance, it opens and closes its mouth, making a "giggle" sound similar to laughter.

It's laughing.

They were laughing at them.

"Fatty," Yang Qi stopped Gu Cai Pang from calling the police, saying, "Fatty, forget about calling the police. Look, everyone's fine, aren't they?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Cai Pang glanced at the fishermen who had fallen into the water.

No one was injured; at most, some people got their clothes wet, lost their shoes, or broke their fishing rods.

The fisherman, climbing out of the water and standing on the shore, gritted his teeth as he looked at the dragon-shaped koi fish still belly-up twenty meters away.

Damn it.

"I've been tricked, fooled, and angered by fish in my life, but this is the first time I've been mocked by a fish."

"This is the first time I've ever been mocked by a fish."

"Look at it, lying on its back, clucking and laughing. It's laughing at us!"

"I'm so angry, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"I'm so angry..."

After calming down, they began to feel fear again.

"What exactly is that? A five-meter-long fish?"

"That's not a fish, it's an arowana! Look at its head, it even has horns!"

"Take a picture!"

"Yes, yes, take a picture."

"Oh no, my phone got wet and I can't turn it on."

"Mine got water in it too!"

"Who still has a usable cell phone? Whose phone is still working?"

"It's flooded, damn it..."

Just as Gu Caipang was about to shout "I have it!", the dragon-shaped koi sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The fish is gone. Gu Cai Pang opened his mouth, then closed it again, saying nothing.

Gu Shang walked out of the water, completely soaked.

Seeing Yang Qi and Gu Cai Pang running over, he was so excited he almost let slip, "Oh my god... Fatty, you didn't go in the water, did you get any pictures?"

Gu Cai Pang shook his head: "No, I was too nervous just now and forgot."

Gu Shang looked at Yang Qi, "And you?"

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone, opened the photo album, and handed it over: "There's one."

This was captured by a hidden camera; he just exported it from the system.

The dragon-shaped koi in the photo only has its head showing, with its whole body hidden below the water's surface. It was captured just as it was about to leap out of the water.

Golden scales shimmered underwater, its head was close to the surface of the water, two horns rose from its forehead, its snout was slightly long, and it had golden vertical pupils.

The angle was very tricky, and the fish's posture underwater was half-hidden, creating a strong sense of mystery.

Gu Shang took the phone, staring at the photo. He zoomed in and out on the screen, looking at it several times.

"Mutant fish, mutant fish." Gu Shang handed the phone back to Yang Qi: "Quick, send it to me."

Gu Caipang watched his father's expression and his lips twitched.

Yang Qi added Gu Shang on WeChat and sent him the photos.

He only sent this one picture, and only to Gu Shang.

Whether others post it or not is irrelevant; attracting the attention of this hidden tycoon is more meaningful than posting it to ten thousand people.

Gu Cai Pang leaned closer, looked at the photo on Yang Qi's phone, and then asked, "Brother Yang, is there a dragon in your reservoir? This fish looks like a dragon..."

"No way." Yang Qi immediately shook his head in denial. "Dragons are legends. This is just a mutated fish species, probably due to genetic mutation or something."

"Does it have a name?"

Yang Qigang was about to say the name "Dragon-shaped Koi" when Gu Shang suddenly looked up with a serious expression.

"Mr. Yang, is this fish called a Dragon-shaped Koi?"

Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat.

How did he know?

Filled with doubt, he feigned a blank expression:

"Why do you say that, Brother Gu? I don't know its name either, I only know it's a mutated koi."

Gu Shang remained silent.

Looking at Yang Qi, her gaze was like two knives, scrutinizing him, trying to discern something from him.

Yang Qi felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze, but he didn't flinch and just stared straight into Gu Shang's eyes.

Am I overthinking this? Well, how could an ordinary fishing pond owner possibly know? Gu Shang spoke up.

"How much do you want to lease your entire reservoir?"

He paused, then continued, "I don't need the other fish, I just want that one."

"Ten million. Is that enough?"

Yang Qi's mind went blank with a "buzz".

Ten million, and then how many zeros were there?

Six zeros, no, seven zeros.

"More money than I could earn in a lifetime!" Yang Qi thought he had misheard, his lips trembling as he said, "Brother Gu, you..."

"Twenty million."

Gu Shang raised the price, his tone remaining calm, as if 2 million was nothing to him.

Before Yang Qi could fully recover from the first number, the second number came crashing down on him.

My heart was pounding, my palms were sweating, and only one voice was screaming in my head: "Say yes, say yes now, ten million..."

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Shang's face darkened, and he said coldly:

"Boss Yang, one shouldn't be too greedy."
