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

Yang Qi's hand was still gripping the pole, but she pulled it, making it sway. He frowned and said, "Who told you to go into the water? Get out!"

"No!" Chen Zilu also grabbed the fishing rod.

"Relax."

"No, no, unless you come up with me."

"Oh dear, you idiot, you're almost hooked it up, and if you take it out, all your efforts will be wasted."

"I'll stay with you."

........

This gave the alligator gar, which was already exhausted, a chance to catch its breath.

With a violent thud of its tail, the immense force sent the two unresponsive individuals plunging face-down into the water.

Yang Qi raised his head from the water, wiped his face, and looked at Chen Zilu, who was also soaking wet.

Her hair clung to her cheeks, water streamed down her chin, and she stared at him with a mixture of anxiety and stubbornness, her lips pressed into a thin line.

"You!"

Yang Qi sighed, released one hand from the fishing rod, and wiped the water from her face.

"I'm going to exert my strength now, don't let go."

Chen Zilu nodded, gripping the rod handle with her palms overlapping.

Yang Qi took a deep breath, and the fire element energy began to circulate again.

The nameless fishing technique was activated again: "Go for it!!"

The fishing rod bends to its limit, then snaps back up.

The 100-pound alligator gar was pulled out of the shallow water by the ultimate pull of the fishing rod, its head emerging from the water and its tail pulling out the line beads.

"Let's retreat and get ashore."

Chen Zilu followed him backward until they reached the shore, at which point she let go of his hand and gasped for breath.

About 20 people gathered on the shore.

Some people clapped, some people cheered, and some people took pictures of the fish and then of the two of them.

Yang Qi stood on the bank, completely soaked, and Chen Zilu stood next to him, equally soaked.

Yang Qi turned to look at Chen Zilu, reached out to wipe the water from her face, frowned, and scolded, "That was dangerous just now, do you know that?"

Chen Zilu looked up at him. The sun shone from behind her, casting a bright edge on her wet hair and wet collar.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know."

"you......"

The atmosphere was tense, and the fishermen at the scene all shut up and watched the drama unfold, showing great anticipation for what would happen next.

"Do you think the two of them will start arguing?"

"Probably, maybe, perhaps...it will!"

"I'm already looking forward to it (*^o^*)🤓🤓🤓.."

The next second, Chen Zilu approached, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Yang Qi's head.

She blinked, then whispered, "What am I afraid of with you here?"

"cut......"

A chorus of boos erupted.

The fishermen covered their faces, saying they couldn't bear to watch.

"Damn, this dog food came out of nowhere!"

"You're showing off your love right after catching fish? Have you even considered how the fish feel?"

"Boss, mind your image!"

"Okay, okay, I can't sleep tonight after seeing that couple showing off their love."

......

Hearing the uproar, Chen Zilu couldn't suppress the smile that appeared on her lips.

I glanced down at the alligator gar on the grass, lying there listlessly wagging its tail.

"Can you loosen it now?" Yang Qi asked, blushing.

"No, carry me back to the room."

"good!"

Yang Qi bent down, reached out and put his arm around Chen Zilu's waist, picked him up and carried him toward the small room.

Then another commotion arose.

"Oh..."

"Tsk, I'm sick of it."

"Boss, you've really gotten yourself into trouble!"

Yang Qi shook his head, while Chen Zilu lay in him and chuckled softly.

......

Back inside, Chen Zilu bent down and wrung out her trousers, water spilling all over the floor. She looked up at Yang Qi, a smile still playing on her lips.

"Crazy and handsome, Boss Yang, you're something else."

Yang Qi didn't reply. He rummaged through the cabinet, pulled out a megaphone and a knife, and turned to leave.

"Where are you going? You didn't even change your clothes!" Chen Zilu shouted from behind.

"Change it later."

......

Return to the original location.

The fishermen around, still taking photos with the alligator gar, asked in bewilderment, "Boss Yang, why are you out so soon? Aren't you enjoying your time with your wife?"

"Exactly, that's not fair."

"Hahaha……"

"Hey!" Yang Qi waved his hand. "Even the sweetest fish will die, and once it's dead, it's worthless."

As he spoke, he turned on the megaphone; a short, crackling electrical buzzing sound followed. He then raised it and shouted:

"Dear brothers, uncles, and elders, we're holding a last-minute event with a prize of 100 million. If you're interested, please stop what you're doing!"

Along the shore, people who were originally focused on fishing, chatting, fiddling with their phones, or carrying their fishing baskets to reel in their lines were all gone.

Upon hearing the reward of 100 million, he looked up.

The first to react were those closest to him, who gathered around, and people further away also curiously approached.

Eight hundred people gathered from all directions along the reservoir.

"Boss, you said, one million?" A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat squeezed to the front. "Really?"

"Boss, you're so generous! You just handed over a million like that!"

"How do you play? Tell me quickly!"

Yang Qi looked at the heads of the fishermen and raised his hand to make a silencing gesture: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, let me explain slowly."

The noise in the crowd subsided considerably, but the chant of "one million" remained.

"Really?"

What are the conditions?

...

Short, hurried murmurs spread out.

Yang Qi waited a few seconds before raising the megaphone and continuing to speak:

"Don't worry, everyone. The rules are very simple: it's fishing."

As he spoke, he turned around, squatted down next to the alligator gar, pressed down on the fish's head with his left hand, and plucked a few scales off the fish's forehead with his right hand.

Then he took out a knife from his pocket and made two cuts in the center of the fish's forehead.

With one vertical and one horizontal cut, a clear cross mark was left.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qi raised the scale and pointed the megaphone at the crowd:

"A reward of 100 million will be given to anyone who can catch this marked alligator gar."

He paused, then added, "There's another one of similar size at the bottom of the reservoir, unmarked. Catching it will earn you a reward of 50. Both will bring the total to 150 million. Each person only has one chance during the event."

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

"but....."

Yang Qi drawled, "The registration fee is a bit pricey. It's ten thousand yuan per person, and you get to fish all day long."

Another murmur arose from the crowd. Some shook their heads, some nodded, and some began whispering to each other about registering together.

Yang Qi waited a moment, then continued:

"During this period, a maximum of three people can provide assistance to those outside the fishing area. However, those providing assistance outside the area cannot participate in any fishing activities. They can only help the original owner reel in the fish after it has been caught, and then use a net to catch it."

If any off-site assistance is found during the event, such as helping with fishing, guarding fishing rods, or even fishing themselves, their eligibility will be revoked.

"That's so good?"

"Isn't it enough to just hook a fish and catch it?"

"Boss, I want to ask, do you mean that off-site support can only observe from afar and cannot interfere in anything before a fish is caught?"

"That's right. In other words, when you haven't caught any fish, it's best not to have any verbal communication with the people helping you outside the fishing spot to prevent misjudgment."

Yang Qi paused for a moment,

"At the same time, if anyone deliberately clamors for outside assistance to interfere with others, their qualification will be revoked, and they will be blacklisted from our fishing grounds for life."

"The boss really thought of this number."

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Also, those who like to play dirty tricks and want to challenge my reservoir's 360-degree surveillance capabilities are welcome to try."

"When will it start?"

"The official start will begin after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

A young man in the crowd shouted, "Why can't we open it now? We don't need to celebrate a holiday!"

"That's a good question, sir."

Yang Qi raised the megaphone, "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal. Even on this Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm still a human being."

"Oh...we understand, we understand."

"Boss, this is for a honeymoon with his wife."

"Hahaha…"

Seeing the fishermen laughing hysterically, Yang Qi stubbornly denied it and waved his hand:

"Fishing begins at 8:00 AM three days later, and the event will last for a week."

"Welcome everyone to participate! You can register now, but spots are limited and registration closes at 12 noon. Think it over carefully; if you don't register now, you'll have to compete for spots online later."

After saying that, Yang Qi pushed the alligator gar back into the water.

After the fish fell into the water, it disappeared after a while.

Discussions were already flying around in the crowd.

"If we don't catch anything, the 10,000 yuan registration fee will be wasted."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's 1.5 million. Let's take a gamble. If we lose 10,000, we can win 1.5 million."

"Boss! I'm signing up!"

The first person to raise their hand was a young man who squeezed out of the crowd, pulled out his phone, and said, "My name is Zhang Fei. Ten thousand, right? Scan it for me."

"Zhang Fei?" Yang Qi couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He was thin, with shifty eyes, making it seem as if this money was all his savings.

Open the payment interface on your phone, and a notification sound will play.

"Alright, Zhang Fei, right? Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

"Thank you, thank you, boss."

At this moment, another person squeezed in from the side:

"I'll apply too. Success! Become a millionaire, it'll only cost you a month's salary."

Then came the third and the fourth.

The scene became lively again...

Half an hour later, Yang Qi looked down at the form. There were 360 ​​names, and the first one was Zhang Fei.

Looking at the name, Yang Qi's lips curled up, and he muttered to himself:

"Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, what a good name..."
