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

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..."

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Fei, who was still fishing, walked over, and squatted down beside him.

"Hey, Zhang Fei."

"Who!" Zhang Fei reacted strongly, as if he had been electrocuted. His shoulders shrugged violently, and he almost dropped the rod in his hand.

Upon seeing that it was Yang Qi, his expression softened. "Grandma, what did you call me for?"

Yang Qi was somewhat surprised, but seeing him acting suspiciously, his initial curiosity vanished, and he waved his hand, saying, "Nothing, nothing?"

After saying that, he turned and left, thinking to himself: Why does he look like he's doing something wrong?

Thinking about it, Yang Qi unconsciously thought of Zhao Hua. After being tricked by him, Yang Qi was quite wary.

Zhang Fei looked at Yang Qi's back with a worried expression. Could it be that he discovered it? No, how could that be?

……

Yang Qi returned to his usual spot and became a fisherman, holding his god-level fishing rod.

Checking the system monitoring revealed that Zhang Fei had not done anything unusual.

I haven't done anything wrong, so why the strong reaction? Is it innate, or something else...?

Yang Qi shook his head and began to circulate the Fishing Luck Technique, along with his continuous breathing.

The nameless fishing technique, the fiery spinning drill, kept replaying in Yang Qi's mind.

Feeling the fire element within, I fell silent. Mr. Gu said my energy was formless and without a fixed abode, but now, why is it fire element...?

"System, what's going on? Didn't you say I transcended Yin and Yang and was no longer subject to the Five Elements? How come I'm still classified as Fire?"

"This system is not a solution system. I don't know. Keep up the good work, the next stage reward is almost here."

"Speechless. You know I'm speechless with you, System. Don't you know your own stuff?"

"Figure it out yourself. If you still can't figure it out, then you're a piece of trash."

Yang Qi: 😑😑😑.

"Human-machine system".

"Dog brain host."

"..."

Yang Qi was speechless. He took out his phone, opened Gu Shang's WeChat chat, and typed:

"Mr. Gu, I've reached the Angler level, and I've also discovered that my Qi has transformed into Fire Qi, but it feels a little different."

The message was sent, but then disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Yang Qi put his phone back in his pocket and laughed at himself: "They're the powerful people in the Gu family in Beijing. I'm just a reservoir owner. I can't expect them to reply to my WeChat messages instantly. That's wishful thinking."

He put away his fishing rod, went back inside, and pushed open the door.

"You're willing to come back?"

Chen Zilu's voice came over as she looked at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi looked up at her lying on her side on the bed, her phone next to her pillow, wearing a thin white tank top and a pair of sexy shorts, her legs crossed and draped over the edge of the bed.

He propped his head up with one hand and swiped his phone with the other.

Yang Qi's throat bobbed, his gaze shifting from her legs to her chest, then he frowned and quickly looked away.

"How can you go out dressed like that? You're not even wearing your clothes properly!"

"Who said I was going out? Oh, could it be that you...?"

As she spoke, Chen Zilu shifted her position, lying on her side, her fingertips tracing down her thigh, and smiled at Yang Qi, "Am I beautiful?"

"Go! Go! Go."

Yang Qi immediately turned his head away shyly, cleared his throat with his back to her, and...

"Let's get down to business. I've organized an event; could you send a video explaining the situation when you have some free time?"

"Aba aba..."

When it came to serious matters, Chen Zilu immediately became serious, pulled her tank top up a bit, and then sat up straight.

After listening to Yang Qi's flawed plan, he frowned and said, "Yang Qi, aren't you afraid of messing things up? We can have a stable income by following the rules, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Can……"

"But what, but?"

Chen Zilu interrupted him, stood up, and walked barefoot to him.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The reservoir is only so big; it can only accommodate 800 people a day. Even if it gets popular, it can't handle it all. In fact, the trouble will only increase. Be careful not to get carried away and end up in the abyss..."

Is it really that exaggerated?

Yang Qi looked at her, not thinking he had done anything wrong. With the system in hand, what couldn't he handle?

"You've had it too easy."

Chen Zilu stood in front of him, her hands on his shoulders, shaking him gently.

"You've become so convinced that whatever you do will definitely succeed. Listen to me, before word gets out completely, return the money."

Yang Qi didn't reply, his gaze shifting from her face to the window.

The news of the registration should have spread by now, and money was collected from 360 people in public.

The deal has been made, and the money has been received. It would be embarrassing to cancel now.

"Zilu, now that you've said it, wouldn't it be a bad idea to take it back?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Chen Zilu grabbed his wrist. "Yang Qi, just listen to me this once, okay?"

Her voice softened, so much so that Yang Qi couldn't bear it. "At worst, at worst, we'll give some compensation. We'll refund a thousand yuan to everyone who paid. Consider it a lesson learned."

"I..." Yang Qi opened his mouth.

"oops!"

Chen Zilu clasped her hands together in front of her, her eyelids slightly lowered, and the corners of her mouth pursed; her entire face conveyed a pleading expression.

"Please, I'm begging you."

She took another half step forward, tilted her chin up, and whispered, "Please, sir... husband..."

Looking into her eyes, Yang Qi's stubborn pride crumbled in less than two seconds.

"...Okay, I'll do as you say. Full refund."

"Wait until I'm dressed."

Chen Zilu immediately turned around and walked towards the wardrobe.

She changed into a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, tied her hair in a neat ponytail, and came out looking like a completely different person.

Serious and upright, with straight shoulders and a slightly tucked chin, she's definitely a strong woman.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qi followed her out the door, and the two walked towards the shore one after the other.

Chen Zilu picked up the megaphone and shouted to the group of fishermen, "Everyone, the event is canceled. Those who registered, please gather together for a refund."

"What? The event's canceled?" The fisherman frowned as he approached. "Wasn't it supposed to start in three days? It's been canceled after only a few hours?"

"Boss, are you kidding us?"

"I've already told my friend to take time off work and come help me!"

……

The voices in the crowd grew louder and louder, a cacophony of voices.

The expression on his face changed from confusion to displeasure at being tricked.

"Boss lady, aren't you just messing with us?"

"That's right, that's right."

"..."

Chen Zilu met their gazes directly, stood there, megaphone to her lips, and said:

"For those who have registered, refunds will now be issued. Each person will receive an extra 1000 yuan as compensation, as an apology for all the time spent working for nothing."

"Seriously, getting 1000 for free, that's really a great friendship."

The fisherman, who was originally furious, was instantly calmed down by the extra 1000 yuan compensation.

"Okay, refund it. 1000 yuan, the proprietress is generous."

"Haha, okay."

Chen Zilu didn't say anything unnecessary, and addressed the crowd, "Calling out names, the first one, Zhang Fei, is he here?"

"Yes, yes," Zhang Fei nervously walked up, looked at the two, and said anxiously:

"Boss, boss's wife, why was this perfectly good event canceled?"

Yang Qi shook his head: "Sorry, the event is canceled, but I'll refund your money."

Zhang Fei dared not say anything more, opened the QR code for receiving payment, and saw, "11,000 yuan has been received."

Zhang Fei glanced down at his phone screen: "Received. Thank you, boss lady."

Return to the crowd.

"Next up, Huang Dongfang"

Next up, Lin...

"..."

Chen Zilu read out the name, and Yang Qi scanned the code to get a refund, which was completed quickly.

In the crowd, a large group of people were sending messages to their relatives and friends, saying that the event had been canceled and they didn't need to come.

After the last payment was processed, Chen Zilu bowed to the crowd:

"I'm so sorry everyone. My husband didn't discuss it with us beforehand; it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and we couldn't quite handle it. We have to cancel the event. We'll hold a proper event again when we're better prepared and more confident. I'm very sorry to have disappointed everyone today."

"It's alright, it's alright. The proprietress apologized so sincerely and even gave each person a thousand dollars in compensation. Her attitude is perfectly acceptable anywhere."

"That's right, that's right."

"It's just a bit of a pity."

"....."

Chen Zilu kept saying, "Thank you everyone for your understanding, thank you everyone for your understanding."

After the crowd dispersed, Chen Zilu turned around, grabbed Yang Qi's wrist, and quickly walked towards the small room.

She was stronger than usual, and Yang Qi was so overwhelmed that he dared not resist.

The moment the door closed, she let go, turned around, pointed at him, and flicked her ponytail.

She raised an eyebrow, looking very angry, and said, "Well, Yang Qi, you've done something shameful, and now I have to clean up your mess."

"I didn't, clearly..." Yang Qi trailed off mid-sentence.

"Still not convinced? I'll hit you, I'll hit you, I'll hit you!"

Chen Zilu swung her arm and pounded his chest hard, her expression both anxious and angry.

Seeing this, Yang Qi raised his hands and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll listen to you next time!"

Chen Zilu stopped, panting, and looked at him leaning against the door with his hands raised. She was initially angry, but then burst out laughing.

"That's more like it."

While they were playing around, the reservoir was already in danger.

On the shore, Zhang Fei looked at the hut with ill intent, frowning.

Why was it canceled? Oh well, I'll just keep working on the task...

Immediately afterwards, he dialed an unnumbered number and said, "Hey, boss, Yang Qi's event has been canceled."

"What a pity. Well, let's proceed as planned. In three days, I want all the fish in his reservoir to die..."

"clear."
