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

It was nearly noon when we arrived at the reservoir; the sun was directly overhead, and it was scorching hot.

None of the workers on the construction site sought refuge in the shade; everyone was busy at their respective posts.

The roadbed was laid, compacted, and leveled; the main road from the foot of the mountain to the reservoir was rammed.

Number One stood at the edge of an open space next to the reservoir, looking down at his tablet computer. Several workers were waiting behind him, as if waiting for him to give instructions.

Yang Qi walked over:

"Number One, at this rate, you should be able to finish everything in about ten days, right?"

Number One looked up, and the data page on the tablet disappeared.

Turning around, he said calmly, "At the current pace, the main structure can indeed be completed in just ten days. However, the cement needs time to fully dry and harden. It will be best to put it into use after a month, as the road surface's load-bearing capacity and service life will then reach their optimal state."

Yang Qi nodded: "Okay, quality comes first, we won't rush it in those few days."

He paused, glanced at the empty patch of grass next to the small house, and said, "Number One, can you do me a favor?"

"Please speak, sir. We can help with anything that is convenient for us."

"Convenient, convenient."

Yang Qi pointed to the open space next to the small house and gestured, "I want to build a supermarket there, about 100 square meters, just one floor. When more people come to fish, they'll need a place to buy water, snacks, and bait."

Number One followed Yang Qi's finger and looked at the open space. His eyes lit up, and without Yang Qi noticing, he activated a scanner. He withdrew his gaze in less than two seconds.

"No problem. Please specify your requirements, such as functional zoning, door and window locations, and whether there are any special needs regarding the interior layout."

"There aren't any special requirements, it's just like a regular supermarket. Shelves on one side, freezers on the other, and a row of shelves against the wall with the checkout counter in front."

The door faces the road for easy access for guests.

Yang Qi thought for a moment and added, "Simple and practical is fine, no need to make it too pretty."

"Understood. I will allocate the building materials this afternoon, and they are expected to be completed along with the garage."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'm going to take a walk on the shore."

Yang Qi turned and walked towards the shore.

"The potential of the grass carp has actually reached the excellent level, and it is a king of fish weighing 10 catties."

Yang Qi smiled bitterly.

"That's a king-level fish that can grow to 100,000 jin (50,000 kg)!"

Who can catch it?

No one can catch it.

My fishing spot is probably going to get more and more outrageous from now on...

Looking at the calm water, I felt fortunate.

Fortunately, it's not infinitely growing; there's a limit. What a pity! This dragon-shaped koi has the potential to become a legendary gold-level creature! Fourth tier is already this outrageous; what will eighth tier be like? Ascension to immortality? Transformation into a dragon?

"system,"

"If this continues, who will be able to catch these fish? I'm afraid that one day I'll be caught, dissected, and interrogated."

"The host can practice basic fishing luck techniques, enhance himself through breathing exercises, and unleash his potential."

"...Couldn't you just give me some means to save my life?"

"Host, external things are ultimately just external things. If you're afraid of being caught, then grow stronger during this time, grow stronger until no one dares to... bully you!"

The system paused for a moment, then said, "Instead of worrying unnecessarily, we should plan carefully."

Yang Qi remained silent; he hadn't expected the system to say something so reasonable.

"External things are ultimately external things... The system is something I've become attached to."

I looked up, and the sunlight on my face was a little dazzling.

Squinting at the bright blue sky above, I suddenly felt at ease.

Instead of worrying about the future all day, it's better to focus on doing your best on the road ahead.

Manage the reservoir well, take good care of your family, and strengthen yourself.

When that day truly comes, we will be able to protect ourselves and those around us, even if it means conducting dissections, arresting and interrogating people.

He looked away and opened his palm.

A pill appeared out of thin air in his palm, completely transparent, with a wisp of mysterious silk moving within it.

Even before you get close, the aroma of herbs wafts over, calming your mind and spirit.

Six Marrow Cleansing Pills. Although they don't have the bizarre effects of cultivating immortality, but...

Looking at this Marrow Cleansing Pill, Yang Qi's first thought was of his aging grandmother, Su Guanyin, who was getting weaker year by year, and his parents who were working far away in Ling Province.

One for my grandma, one each for my dad and mom, one each for my brother and sister who are incarcerated, and one for myself. Not one more, not one less, just right, six in total.

"Sigh, Grandma's health is getting worse every year. I'll give it to her when I get back."

"Dad sits in front of the computer all day long, and he's developed a lot of health problems; he should take care of himself. Mom has a bad back; this should help. My younger siblings are still young; it's good for them to build a strong foundation. As for myself..."

Yang Qi looked down at the pill in his hand again, then turned and went into the small house to get a bottle of mineral water.

He unscrewed the bottle cap, put the pill in his mouth, took a sip of water, and swallowed it.

The pill melted instantly in the mouth, without the bitterness one might expect, nor the dramatic scenes of life and death in the world of cultivation. It had a subtle sweetness and the coolness of a mint.

The cool sensation traveled down to my stomach, and then, as if it were being ignited, it gently spread out, flowing from my stomach to my limbs, to every blood vessel and every muscle.

I could feel a slight warmth on my fingertips; it was very comfortable and comforting.

Yang Qi stood there, closed his eyes and sensed for a while before opening them.

There's an indescribable sense of clarity and power emanating from him.

He clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and finished drinking the mineral water bottle.

Yang Qi leaned against the door frame of the small house for a while, a smile playing on his lips. The medicine was mild and wouldn't harm the body; even if Grandma took it, she wouldn't have any problems.

Just then, my phone vibrated. I opened it and saw a message from Yang Changsheng: "What time is dinner tonight? I'm bringing Xiaohua and her mother along."

Yang Qi replied: "Dinner will be served promptly at 6:30."

The other end replied instantly: "Want something to drink?"

"We won't leave until we're drunk..."

Yang Changsheng: Okay, *clasped hands* (a gesture of respect).

Yang Qi smiled at the expression and shoved the phone back into his pocket.
