Global Waters Mutate: I Became the Nightmare of Giants

"Shocking!! A legendary king fish has appeared! Fishing master Teacher Ma hooked a thousand-pound monster with one cast, and a mysterious tycoon bought it for an astronomical price! A miraculous longevity meat was carved from the fish, restoring the eater to the prime of their youth and bringing their vigor back!"

"The craziest story yet: a young man drifted at sea for a day and a night, only to catch a stunning mermaid girl! The mermaid has now become a registered citizen and married him!"

"Latest news: A delivery rider for a certain food-delivery company was passing under a bridge when he noticed the water was crystal clear. He casually cast a line and unexpectedly mastered the art of fishing. From then on, he was master of his own fate!"

Three years ago, a comet carrying a mysterious virus passed by Earth. The virus awakened the fish, setting them on a path of frenzied evolution.

In no time, waters around the world fell to the fish. Anglers, once seen as mere hobbyists, suddenly became elite members of society with a rare and valued profession.

Then, as Qin Ming lay in a hospital bed with only a month left to live, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his ear.

[Ding! The Strongest Angler System has activated!]

[Each fish caught: +1 hour of lifespan]

[Constitution +0.1]

[Breathing technique unlocked: Yin-Yang Breathing Technique: Endless Vitality, Persuade the "Fish" with Reason]

From then on, with rebar in his left hand and an aircraft carrier's arresting cable in his right, he took on pay-to-fish ponds, reservoirs, the Heavenly Lake of Changbai Mountain, and the legendary water monsters.
