I Failed the College Entrance Exam and Switched to Fishing, Now You’re Calling Warships My Catch?

[Cutting-edge technology + No heroine + Light comedy + Interstellar + Rebuilding the nation]

Li Ye, an academician at the Xia Academy of Sciences, is born into a parallel world. After waiting eighteen years, his System finally awakens during the university entrance exam, causing him to hand in a blank paper.

While minding the family shop alone over summer break, Li Ye is caught off guard when Filipino monkeys trespass into Xia Country's territorial waters and even brazenly open fire.

To protect everyone's livelihoods, he brings out a high-pressure water cannon.

After that, the catch starts looking a little strange.

“My Filipino patrol boat displaces over a hundred tons.”

“That's nothing. Mine displaces over six hundred tons.”

“How did you manage to haul up a giant black fish, too!”

The Filipino monkeys cry, “Xia Country's fishermen fight dirty! Boo-hoo!”

Li Ye also manages to join the Xia Academy of Sciences, albeit in an unusual way.

From then on, Xia Country's technological capabilities begin to grow by leaps and bounds.

Super nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, high-energy electromagnetic cannons, mechanical legions, aerospace carriers, spaceports...

After resolving the threats to Blue Star, Li Ye successfully leads Xia Country past the threshold of a Type I civilization and sets out to explore the vast universe.

Years later, when Xia Country defeats an invading alien civilization and reaches the pinnacle of the universe, someone asks Li Ye what first motivated him.

Li Ye says, “I just wanted to get into Xia Country University of Science and Technology as soon as possible.”
