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

"If you do this, then blame me..."

Just as I was about to take a deep breath, my phone screen suddenly lit up.

The voice call interface popped up, and the caller ID displayed two words: Gu Shang.

He paused for a moment, then swiped his thumb across the answer button.

"Boss Yang."

Gu Shang's voice came through the receiver, sounding somewhat apologetic, "I was busy during the day and didn't see the message. You said your Qi has an attribute now? Fire?"

"Hmm." Yang Qi leaned back in his chair, his gaze still fixed on Zhang Fei's image on the system panel. "Fire element."

"What happened at the time? Please describe it in detail."

"I was incredibly angry back then, incredibly angry. Someone was eyeing my wife, and I couldn't stand it, so I got into a fight with an alligator gar, baa baa... and that anger went from having no elemental attribute to being fire-elemental."

He spoke simply, but his tone was full of barely suppressed anger.

In the study of Tianyun Manor, at the Gu family residence in Beijing.

Standing in front of the French windows, Gu Shang listened to Yang Qi's description, then squinted and looked outside.

This is possible? Emotional shift? Boss Yang is quite the oddball.

"If you have time, could you come to Beijing? I need to see you in person to understand your situation."

"Okay, I will when I have time."

Yang Qi paused for a moment, then continued, "President Gu, with your capabilities, investigating a few people shouldn't be difficult for you, right? I'd like to ask for your help."

Gu Shang, on the other end of the phone, sensed something was off about Yang Qi's tone: "Yes, but I don't know which groups of people they are."

"I'll send you 10 videos of them leaving this afternoon."

Yang Qi opened the system panel, packaged the ten selected images, and sent them out.

Gu Shang frowned as he looked at the video that had been sent, and asked seriously, "Excuse me, but what did they do to offend you?"

"These people poisoned my reservoir; my fish are basically ruined. I'll make them pay."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Gu Shang didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "Wait for me for half an hour."

The call has ended.

The screen went dark, and Yang Qi pushed open the car door and got out.

He half-squatted by the reservoir, dipping his hand into the water while fully focusing his mind.

Collect the fish that have been contaminated with toxins, big and small, weighing hundreds of pounds and weighing only a few ounces, one by one, into the system space.

As the number of fish piled up in the space grew, the anger in my heart burned ever brighter.

Everything's gone, everything's gone. If only I had a system...

"Hoo... System."

Yang Qi stared at the water and asked, "Could we drain all the water from the reservoir into the Water Sea World, and then replenish it with clean water from the Water Sea World?"

Yes, it's possible. It will take two hours.

"Let's change it."

With his mind sinking to the bottom of the water and entering the underwater world, Yang Qi buried all the fish.

"Phew... Don't get angry, don't get angry. Getting angry will harm your health, and you'll suffer the consequences..."

Yang Qi closed his eyes, withdrew his thoughts, and then opened them to watch the water level drop rapidly.

My mind is already on the fish fry; I need to open for business normally in three days.

Grass carp fry, common carp fry, bighead carp, yellow catfish, crucian carp, flatfish, whitebait...

Half an hour later, the phone rang as expected.

I stood up after answering the phone.

"Boss Yang, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Good news."

"We've found him. He's at the Flower Couple Hotel in your town. I'll send you the room number."

Yang Qi's eyes lit up for a moment.

"What's the bad news?"

Gu Shang paused, then said, "They aren't the real killers. The real killers are the Dark Anchor organization."

Yang Qi frowned: "The Dark Anchor Organization?"

"Like a cult, they've been brainwashed by things from the Great Wall of the Boundary. They do only bad things and don't do good; they're the enemy of the world."

"To be specific, it's still the same thing I said: knowing too much now is not beneficial. You'll naturally understand when you reach a certain level of strength."

Yang Qi's grip on his phone tightened: "Why are they targeting me?"

"It's highly likely related to me, and also to your dragon-shaped koi fish."

But they usually don't target ordinary people; it's unexpected that they'd attack you. Don't even think about going to them; this organization is too secretive, you won't find them. I can take care of those 10 people for you, making sure they never leave the area. Consider it compensation for dragging you into this."

Yang Qi stood in the rain, listening intently, his voice cold and fierce, before calmly declaring, "I want them to suffer a fate worse than death!"

Dark Anchor Organization, Great Wall of the Boundary Sea, hoo...

Yang Qi took a breath and changed the subject, "President Gu, do you know Bai Yiteng?"

"Him?" Gu Shang's voice rose. "How do you know him?"

Yang Qi recounted the whole story of how Shiro Itō came to visit in a Lamborghini.

Gu Shang shook his head speechlessly after hearing this, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said helplessly:

"Given his style, the Bai family, Ye Xuan's brother-in-law's son, he's a bit eccentric and unreliable. You were right to kick him out."

"He'll most likely. Take it easy."

"He's relentless; he's always thinking about my wife. I won't feel at ease until I beat him up."

Gu Shang chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Boss Yang, don't be so sure. You can't beat him; he's a Grandmaster of Ancient Martial Arts."

"......😑😑😑"

Yang Qi's open mouth closed again. Is the Great Fishing Sect really that strong?

He looked down at his hands, then looked up at the dark water.

It's just a large-scale fishing trip, so... well... let's keep track of the cost first.

"That's all for now. Have them take it in, and I'll call back."

The phone hangs up.

Yang Qi put his phone back in his pocket and squatted back down on the shore.

Just 10 minutes later, Gu Shang called again.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, those 10 people have disappeared."

"What?"

"Vanished into thin air. My people arrived at the hotel, the room was empty, their belongings were still there, but they were gone. The security cameras were hacked."

Yang Qi stood still, clutching his phone.

Just ten minutes ago, Gu Shang said that the people had been found and that they could be kept in the dark for life.

Ten minutes later, the person was gone, vanished into thin air.

"I don't know the reason, be careful lately. I'm hanging up now."

The call ended again.

Yang Qi stood there listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, not moving for a long time.

He stared at the water's surface for a long time; the Dark Anchor organization, Zhang Fei...

"...disappeared."

"Why did they disappear without alerting them...?"

Sigh... never mind, I'll go check out that so-called Flower Couple Hotel first thing tomorrow morning and get some fish fry.

Yang Qi was in a terrible mood at this moment. He had found the murderer, but the murderer had disappeared...

He felt so insignificant, so incredibly insignificant, that anyone could easily catch him off guard.

Now, it seems I've been caught in some terrible whirlpool, sinking deeper and deeper into it.

He knew nothing about it; all he could think about was Gu Shang's words: "You'll know when you've reached a certain level of strength."

If you've reached a certain level of ability, which aspect of ability do you absolutely need? Couldn't you have told me sooner?

Sigh... nobody's here.

Yang Qi got into the car with mixed feelings of uncertainty and trepidation, and headed down the mountain...
