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

The next day, around 5:30 a.m., the sky was already bright at the end of August.

Yang Qi was lying in bed when he heard the knocking sound of the door opening in the next room. He opened his eyes and sat up.

I had something to do today, so after a quick mental check, I got up and opened the door, only to bump into my grandmother who was coming downstairs.

Old people are like that, they get up very early. Su Guanyin looked at her grandson with some surprise, because normally she wouldn't be able to catch him until eight or nine o'clock.

"Xiao Qi, are you up so early today?"

"...Haha!" Yang Qi scratched his head and replied with a laugh, "I have something to do today. I need to go to town to buy some things to put in the reservoir."

"Hmm... It's market day today, I'll get some vegetables to sell."

Yangjia Village is located in Xitian Town, Hongdu City. There is a market every three days, where small vendors and the elderly sell their wares.

Rural people like Su Guanyin usually sell the vegetables they grow themselves, which is one of their few sources of income.

Yang Qi agreed without hesitation: "Okay, don't make too much, otherwise we'll be short on time and won't have enough space. I'll prepare breakfast."

Hearing Yang Qi's agreement, Su Guanyin's spirits lifted considerably. "I'll go to the fields..."

Watching the old woman leave, Yang Qi shook his head. "Old people can't stay idle!"

I washed up, fried two eggs, boiled glass noodles, and added some dried vegetables to finish the meal—a simple and easy meal.

A dozen minutes later, breakfast was ready, and Su Guanyin returned carrying her vegetable basket.

"Grandma's time to eat!"

"it is good."

After the two finished eating, Yang Qi rode his electric bike to take his grandmother to the stall first, and then went to a supermarket to buy two cases of instant noodles, soda, drinks, beer, sunflower seeds, snacks and the like.

After all that fuss, it was already around 7:30.

Yang Qigang carried his things into the small house by the reservoir. Before he could catch his breath, he heard someone shouting outside.

"Boss Yang! Brother Yang! Are you there?"

Yang Qi wiped his sweat, strode out, and immediately spotted Zhang Dazhuang.

Behind him were four men in their thirties or forties, fully armed, each carrying large and small bags, rod bags, fishing boxes, fish baskets, and landing nets, their equipment complete.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say you'd be here at eight o'clock?" Yang Qi greeted him with a smile.

Zhang Dazhuang scratched his head, a helpless expression on his face: "Sigh, I wanted to come at eight o'clock too, but these four people woke me up with just one phone call. They were all like they were urging me to come. I told them the boss doesn't open until eight, but they insisted that I come early to grab a spot. You know what that means..."

He paused, looked Yang Qi up and down, and laughed, "Brother Yang, you're here so early too? Let me tell you, I brought a fishing rod for catching big fish today."

"...Haha, impressive." Yang Qi scratched his head. "My grandma was going to the market, so she came to the reservoir early this morning since she had nothing else to do."

"Alright, stop arguing." A square-faced man standing next to Zhang Dazhuang took two steps forward and looked him up and down.

"You're Mr. Yang, right? My surname is Wang, Wang Jian. 200 for half a day, 350 for a day, isn't that a bit expensive?"

Wang Jian is right. For ordinary fishing spots, 150 yuan a day is already considered a mid-to-high price, and 350 yuan a day is indeed expensive.

But this is not an ordinary fishing spot...

"Brother Wang, this is excellent value for money."

Yang Qi looked into Wang Jian's eyes, not in a hurry at all. "I'm sure you've seen Brother Zhang's post on WeChat Moments. There are two hundred catties of grass carp right here in this reservoir."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I can tell you with certainty that there's more than one giant like that in this reservoir. Not to mention, there are plenty of fish weighing over ten kilograms each."

He said this with great confidence, saying that with the 50x time acceleration activated, these fish would grow rapidly in just a few days.

Twenty pounds? No problem at all.

Before Wang Jian could reply, another man next to him had already taken out his phone.

"Just because of your confidence, I'll pay for those two hundred pounds of grass carp."

Yang Qi quickly handed over the QR code and politely asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"Zhang Guolu".

The man scanned the QR code, tapped the screen twice with his finger, and said without looking up, "I'll fish all day. Those two over there are Chen Ming and Dai Jiangyang."

[350 yuan received via WeChat...]

"Everyone, I'm going to find a seat now, bye!"

Spurred on by Zhang Guolu, the four of them didn't waste any more words and simply scanned the code to pay, all within a day.

Five voice announcements in a row, and just like that, 1750 yuan was in my pocket.

Yang Qi put his phone back in his pocket, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

1750 yuan, which is more than half a month's salary for him before. And this is just the beginning. Once these people go back and spread the word, more and more people will come.

At that moment, that mechanical voice in my head came through.

[Anglers +5, Water Time Speed ​​Up 50x]

[Currently, the multiplier is 50x]

Hmm... it's a pity that the same ones can't be stacked, otherwise it would be 60 times...

Yang Qi felt a little disappointed, but it quickly disappeared; after all, 50 times wasn't bad.

It will only get faster in the future. At that time, not to mention 200 jin, 300 jin or 400 jin will not be a dream.

Just imagining that scene is enough to get your blood pumping.

Putting aside his thoughts, Yang Qi looked at the five men unloading their equipment on the shore and pondered how to arrange things.

These five people were his first cash cows.

Yang Qi steadied himself, pretended to casually walk to the shore, squatted down and washed his hands.

His slightly upturned lips were reflected on the water.

Then, he activated his mind, and the underwater environment within a radius of twenty meters instantly appeared in his mind.

There were many fish, including a large number of whitebait, crucian carp, and others, swimming towards the bottom of the fishing spot.

Yang Qi's mind quickly swept over the unimportant fish, selecting his target.

Deeper inside, we saw four large carp, each weighing 200 pounds, gathered together.

To their right is a grass carp weighing nearly 60 jin (approximately 30 catties), or more accurately, around 57 jin (approximately 25 kg).

Yang Qi focused his mind on these five lines, controlling them to bite the hook.

As for the 57-jin grass carp, he planned to give it to Zhang Dazhuang as a gift and wouldn't control it. Whether he could catch it or not depended on his own ability.

After all, a reward system is the best way to stimulate people's desires. He didn't catch a big fish yesterday, but today he caught a big fish that weighs nearly 60 pounds.

They'll definitely stay here.

As for the other four, they suffered setbacks, experienced the thrill of the instant-burst rod, and watched enviously as Zhang Dazhuang caught a big fish.

At that time, their competitive spirit will drive them to be unwilling to accept defeat...

Make them want to catch fish more, but they can't catch any, and occasionally give them a little treat.

A grass carp weighing over ten kilograms, or a large whitebait...

The endless nesting of nesting dolls gave them hope, but it wasn't enough to satisfy them.

A slap followed by a sweet treat – this tactic has never failed throughout history.

Once they've been tortured enough, release another giant creature to bite the hook once more. Even if it escapes in the end, it'll be enough for them to brag about for half a year.

As Yang Qi thought about it, he controlled them with his mind.

The five people had already chosen their fishing spots, spaced only a few meters apart.

Zhang Dazhuang was standing on the far left, scattering corn kernels into the water, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking very relaxed.

The other four did the same, casting their lines into the water, leaning back, and beginning their long wait.

Yang Qi stood up and sat down under a large tree not far away.

This location offers a good view; you can see all five people moving around without being noticeable.

The fish are already in position on their hooks, but now is not the time.

We have to wait, wait until they quiet down, wait until they start scrolling through their phones, chatting, or getting distracted.

The sun rose high in the sky, and most of the mist on the water dissipated.

Wang Jian yawned and said to Zhang Guolu next to him, "You think there are really fish that big in this reservoir? Or is Dazhuang just bragging?"

Zhang Guolu didn't reply, his eyes fixed on the float.

Zhang Dazhuang heard this and said, "Old Wang, just don't cry later."

Wang Jian scoffed.

Just then, Yang Qi's will suddenly tightened, and he took the bait...

Four large carp opened their mouths at the same time, bit the hook, and then plunged into the deep water.

At the same time they bit down, the 57-pound grass carp also bit Zhang Dazhuang's hook.

"We've caught a fish!"

"Holy crap, I won too!"

"What's going on? Fish caught at the same time?"

"Awesome, this reservoir was totally worth it..."

At the same time, all five people shouted, their fishing rods bending into bows, and their expressions instantly switching from leisure to ecstasy.

Wang Jian: "A hundred jin, absolutely a hundred jin, the boss wasn't lying to me..."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Haha, this great immortal is one too. A hundred-pound fish, let's catch it."

……

The ecstasy on their faces lasted for less than two seconds.

"Smack..."

Four sounds of rods snapping simultaneously rang out from the shore.

The fishing rod in Wang Jian's hand broke in two, with the upper half flying out with the fishing line and falling into the water.

He fell backward due to the sudden loss of momentum, landing hard on his backside, his eyes wide open like saucers as he stared at the water in disbelief.

Zhang Guolu's pole was reduced to fragments, scattered all over the ground.

Chen Ming and Dai Jiangyang fared no better. One was pulled forward and stumbled two steps, almost falling into the water, while the other was pulled and spun halfway around before crashing onto the fishing box.

They didn't even see a fish.

The fishing rod broke.
