(Fishing, System, Everyday Urban Life)
An unexpected turn of events gives Tan Fei a “System” that can help the poor turn their lives around: a fishing cash-back System.
Its function is simple. Every fish he catches earns him a corresponding cash reward, with a chance to trigger a hidden critical-hit bonus.
Tan Fei: “What? You’re saying that if a fish weighs more than fifty jin, the cash reward doubles?”
System: “Correct. And after fifty jin, the reward doubles each time the fish’s weight doubles.”
Tan Fei: …If that’s how it works, how much would I get for catching a whale? Would I become the richest man in the world overnight?
When the hidden critical-hit rewards start appearing, Tan Fei stops focusing solely on the weight of his catch.
As he reels in one “fish that’ll land you in prison for life” after another, Tan Fei, who had been worried the police might come for him, sees the rewards from the hidden critical hits and steels himself.
Damn it, the timid starve while the bold feast. So what if these fish are protected?
I’m fishing. If it’s fish, I’m catching it.
