Chapter 233

"So, you get it now?"

"Do you understand the power of modern technology and global logistics companies now?"

After scrolling through some giant snakehead videos for a while, Master Fuli put his phone away and looked at the strange fish with disdain: "If you don't work harder to make money, I'm afraid your wife will end up as the company's feng shui fish, turned into a prize for team-building events during every holiday."

In Xia Country and Asia, this dragon fish is classified as an ornamental and feng shui fish.

The fry it likes to watch are all raised in farms under artificial lights, fed premium feed, compete in all kinds of fish contests, and are meticulously cared for by humans every single day—top-tier white, rich, and beautiful girls.

If you don't work harder to make money, the fry you like will eventually be bought by some big boss.

"Pop!"

The strange fish, crouched on the stone railing, gave Chen Zhiyu a serious look and extended its long whiskers.

Although the strange fish had no human common sense.

But it had witnessed countless tax-free transactions; before being punished by Master Fuli, it had lived like a bandit alongside Han Yu's crocodile, robbing every boat that passed through the Jianghe River.

Because of its past experiences, the strange fish knew that humans always shake hands when reaching an agreement.

I'll take your deal!

But you have to buy me a phone first—the fry on the screen are too flashy; I need to study them carefully.

"Then please guide me?"

Chen Zhiyu cautiously extended her hand and gripped the strange fish's long whisker.

"Pop—"

The strange fish raised its fin and patted its chest, continuously making "pop pop" sounds, as if speaking.

An Sheng heard this, thought for a moment, and typed a message on his phone:

【It says all the fish in the water are under its control—it can summon any fish at any time, let fishermen catch them or not; if it doesn't want them to catch any, they'll be lucky to bring home two carp, two fingers wide, for soup.】

【It also says that due to the language barrier, you two may need to establish some secret signals. But regarding communication, I think you can buy some 'pet communication buttons' on shopping platforms.】

Under Master Fuli's witness and translation, the human and the fish formed a strategic partnership to jointly develop the fishing site.

The Changping Mountain villagers and the Changle River fish population secretly established a mutual aid association.

【The fishing rod's wish to detect fish has been fulfilled. Through Master Fuli's relentless efforts, generations of hatred have been eased, allowing fishermen and fish to bury their grudges and jointly develop natural resources—fishermen, mountain villagers, and the fish themselves have fired the first shot of the new era of cooperation.】

【Through both sides' efforts, perhaps only the fishermen are suffering?】

【Wish Power +3】

"Huh?"

An Sheng stared at the pop-up wish list, his fox face frozen in surprise, and instinctively scratched his head.

"Wish Power given so generously? Could Miss Zhiyu be pulling off something huge?"

Tourist attractions require admission fees.

Operations require various costs.

But for a fishing attraction, aside from manpower, what other costs are there? The fish are brought by the strange fish; the land was originally cleared and allocated by ancestors as commercial property.

With the fishing attraction's bill validator, Chen Zhiyu's former idea of "village capital" could now proceed smoothly—she could build breeding and pet-support industries on Changping Mountain.

The fishing attraction is a new beginning for Chen Zhiyu and the villagers of Changping Village.

…………

After handling the wish matter, An Sheng walked lightly back to the big courtyard behind the animal hospital with Chen Zhiyu; Yu Xueqing and Mo Yiqing had already started streaming, laughing and chatting as they fished by the river.

Along the riverbank, even sleeping bags and fishermen radiating an ethereal aura could be seen.

Whether the fish are biting depends entirely on heaven.

Yesterday's fish frenzy drove some fanatical anglers to set up camp right there; after a short rest, they resumed their fishing journey.

Opportunity knocks once; the anglers would rather die than leave.

"Master Fuli~"

Chen Zhiyu returned to the office to handle matters concerning the attraction, while An Sheng stepped out of the room to check what was in Yu Xueqing's fish basket.

At that moment, a sycophantic voice sounded beside An Sheng.

A sneaky young man glanced around, then whispered:

"Do you remember me? I'm the driver who delivered goods to you before. Grandma said your phone has never been answered by a fairy, so she sent me to ask: your order of QR code collars arrived last night—when will Master Fuli come to pick them up?"

"Ten thousand QR code collars have arrived?" An Sheng blinked, stunned—he never expected the hedgehog grandma to move so fast.

The reason the phone couldn't be reached was simple: An Sheng hadn't carried his phone these past two days.

Although the saddle bag fit well, it dragged on the ground when An Sheng ran; Yu Xueqing had given it to a tailor in town to modify it by adding a strap.

Since the bag hadn't returned yet, An Sheng couldn't pull out his phone or the taser at will, as he used to.

"Mmm."

After thinking, An Sheng waved his hand; the young man, quick-witted, immediately pulled out his own phone.

【How about tomorrow night? I have dinner plans tonight—I won't have time to pick them up, and I need to prepare first, otherwise I'll get the collars but won't know what to do with them.】

An Sheng handed the phone back to the young man.

"Understood, Master. I'll tell Grandma," the young man read the message, nodded, bowed sincerely to Master Fuli, then quickly left.

As he bowed, An Sheng's wish list suddenly glowed faintly in his mind.

【Above, Master Fuli, please bless me, Lin Zhijie, and let me find a spiritual beast like my boss—no, like Lin Zong's ancestors did. I want to experience the thrill of being carried by a godlike grandma! Lin Zhijie, full of hope and burning desire, bowed deeply before the master who could summon storms with a single hammer and call forth machine guns, making his wish.】

【Wish fulfilled: I don't want to work anymore. (The existence of spiritual beasts remains secret, yet some people know they exist and have witnessed their miracles—they want to bring a spiritual beast home.)】

"Unbelievable! You want to bring home a spiritual beast? Of all the spiritual beasts I've seen, only Hedgehog Grandma runs a business that big."

After reading the new wish, An Sheng's lips twitched slightly.

Lin Zhijie's wish was excellent.

But An Sheng advised him not to make it—Hedgehog Grandma is exceptionally rare even among spiritual beasts; all the spiritual beasts An Sheng has seen so far are either self-reliant or, like himself, have found a caretaker.

My Yu Xueqing hasn't even gotten rich yet—I haven't made the fox live in luxury!

"For your wish, I suggest you stick to self-discipline, exercise, read books, then find a rich woman and show her your slot machine handle. Spiritual beasts? Don't count on them for now."

An Sheng muttered the advice, turned around, and prepared to help Yu Xueqing earn some tips to improve next month's meal budget.

"Yu Xueqing! What fish did you catch? Let me see!"

"What did I catch? Sorry, Xiao An—the bucket only has two Yangtze alligators. They said they don't want to work anymore; I'm planning to catch a few more and send them to the Forestry Bureau."

"Huh?"
