"So, you get it now, right?"
"Now you know what modern technology is and the power of global logistics companies?"
After watching some videos of arapaima fish, Master Fox put away his phone, looked at the strange fish with disdain, and said, "If you don't work hard to earn money, I'm afraid your wife will end up being a company mascot fish, turned into a prize during holidays and team-building events."
In the Xia Country and Asia, arowana are essentially classified as ornamental and feng shui fish.
The fry you like to watch are all raised under sunlight lamps, eating high-end feed, and participating in various fish competitions. Top-notch beauties meticulously cared for by humans every day.
If you don't work hard to earn money, the fry you like to watch will definitely be bought by big bosses in the future.
"Bo!"
The strange fish lying on the stone guardrail looked at Chen Zhiyu with a serious expression and extended its long whisker.
The strange fish lacks general human knowledge.
But it has witnessed many duty-free transactions, living like a bandit in the rivers with Han Yu Crocodile, before being punished by Master Fox, robbing any boats they encountered.
Due to past experiences, the strange fish knows that when humans reach a consensus, they shake hands.
The business you're talking about... I'll do it!
But you need to get me a phone first, the fry on the screen are too enticing, I need to study them carefully.
"So... nice to work with you?"
Chen Zhiyu tentatively extended his hand to shake the long whisker that the strange fish offered.
"Bo——"
The strange fish raised its fin, patting its chest, and kept making "bo bo" sounds, as if saying something.
Ansheng heard this, thought for a moment, and then typed a line on the phone:
[It says all the fish in the water are under its control. Whenever you want fish, it can arrange it. If it wants to provide fish to the anglers, it will, and if not, they might just have two-finger wide crucian carp for soup.]
[It also mentioned that due to language barriers, you might need to come up with some codes between yourselves. However, regarding communication issues, I feel you could buy some 'pet communication buttons' from a shopping platform.]
Under the witness and translation of Master Fox, a strategic cooperative relationship was established between the person and the fish to jointly develop a fishing ground.
The Changping Mountain villagers and the Changle River fish group, mutual aid association was secretly established.
[The wish to inspect fishing rods at the fishing ground has been fulfilled. Through Master Fox's persistent efforts, generational grudges from multiple parties were eased, allowing fishermen and fish to put aside past enmities and develop natural resources together. Fishermen, villagers, and fish took the first step into the new era of cooperation.]
[Maybe... it is only the anglers whose world has been shattered by this?]
[Wish Power +3]
"Huh?"
Ansheng looked at the info popped up from the wish list, his fox face showing a look of surprise, scratching his head instinctively.
"Wish Power... is it so generous? Could Zhiyu really pull off something big?"
Scenic spots require entrance fees.
Operations also incur various costs.
However, for a fishing spot, what other costs are there besides manpower? The fish are brought by the strange fish, and the venue is a commercial land developed by ancestors.
With the cash cow that is the fishing spot, Chen Zhiyu's envisioned 'village with capital' can smoothly proceed, allowing for the setup of breeding and pet-related industries on Changping Mountain.
The fishing spot is a new starting point for both Chen Zhiyu and the villagers of Changping Village.
......
After dealing with the wish, Ansheng, feeling relaxed, walked along with Chen Zhiyu back to the courtyard behind the animal hospital, where Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing had already started a livestream, chatting and laughing while fishing by the river.
On the riverbanks, there were even some sleeping bags and anglers looking as if they had descended from immortal realms.
The success of a fishing trip is entirely at the mercy of the heavens.
Yesterday, the fish were rampant, so some enthusiastic anglers directly set up camp here. After a short rest, they resumed their fishing journey.
Opportunity knocks but once, and the anglers are determined not to leave.
"Master Fox~"
Chen Zhiyu returned to his office to prepare for the matters related to the scenic spot, while Ansheng came out of the house, intending to check what Ah Qing's fish trap had caught.
Just then, a fawning voice sounded from Ansheng's side.
A sneaky young man, after a quick glance around, spoke in a whisper:
"Do you remember me? I was the driver who used to deliver goods for Master. Grandma said Master hasn't been answering the calls, so she sent me to ask if the QR-code collars you ordered that arrived last night, and when Master Fox plans to pick them up?"
"Ten thousand QR-code collars have arrived?" Ansheng was dumbfounded at the mention, not expecting the hedgehog grandma's side to act so swiftly.
The reason the phone couldn't be reached was simple; Ansheng hadn't been carrying it these past few days.
The saddlebag, while it fits well, would drag on the ground when Ansheng ran, so Ah Qing handed it to the town's tailor to modify it to prevent this by adding a strap.
Since the bag hadn't come back yet, Ansheng couldn't casually take out his phone or the taser like before.
"Wee wee....."
After thinking for a moment, Ansheng gestured, and the young man, quick on the uptake, handed over his phone.
[How about tomorrow night? I've got a dinner engagement tonight, so I might not have time to pick them up. Besides, I need to prepare a bit; otherwise, the collars won't be much use.]
Ansheng handed the phone back to the young man.
"Alright, Master, I'll let Grandma know." After reading the message, the young man nodded, made a sincere bow to Master Fox, and quickly left.
As he was leaving, the wish list in Ansheng's mind suddenly flickered.
[Blessed be Master Fox, may he bless me, Lin Zhijie, that I can also, like the great... uh, like Lin General's ancestors, find the Spirit Beast. I want to experience the divine thrill of being guided by a grandma as well!—Lin Zhijie, full of anticipation and inner passion, made a sincere wish, bowing several times in front of the sublime Master who could conjure whirlwinds and machines with a mere thought.]
[Wish Fulfilled: I don't want to work hard anymore. (The existence of Spirit Beasts remains a secret, yet some people are aware and have even witnessed their miraculous attributes. He wishes to invite a Spirit Beast home.)]
"Unbelievable! Are you seriously considering inviting a Spirit Beast? In my experience, the only Spirit Beast reaching Granny Hedgehog's level is Granny Hedgehog herself."
Reading through the new wish, Ansheng's mouth twitched slightly.
Lin Zhijie's wish is indeed good.
But Ansheng would advise against it; granny hedgehog is already considered very unique within the Spirit Beast Circle. So far, every Spirit Beast Ansheng has encountered is either self-reliant or, like him, looking for someone to serve them.
Even my Ah Qing hasn't struck it rich enough to afford the luxurious life for the fox!
"For your wish, my suggestion, Lin, is to focus on self-discipline, exercise, read, and find a financially endowed partner to support you. As for Spirit Beasts, maybe don't bank on them right now."
After humorously commenting, Ansheng turned around, intending to help Ah Qing earn some tips from the livestream for a better meal plan next month.
"Ah Qing! Let me see what you've caught!"
"Caught what? Sorry, Xiaolan.... There are only two Yangtze Crocodiles in the bucket. They said they're tired of working hard. I'll try to catch a few more to send to the forestry bureau later."
"Huh?"
