I Handed Over My Fishpond from the Start, and the Country Told Me to Dig a Bigger One

Yang Fan is a young man who returned to his village and took over two hundred mu of fish ponds. He thought the biggest waves of his life would be the ripples on the ponds. Then one day, he accidentally fell into the water, and a cold electronic voice rang out in his mind: “Fish Pond System activated. This pond connects to the Myriad Worlds. Whatever you can imagine, you can catch.” Three days later, a top-secret report was placed in the highest meeting room: “A strategic nuclear fish missing from Eagle Sauce has appeared in a fish pond in our country.” The newly established “Bureau of Otherworldly Affairs” issued its first directive that same night: “Mobilize the entire nation to support Comrade Yang Fan in digging fish ponds!” From then on, everything within reach of his fishing rod could be put to use by Xia State: He hooked a cultivation manual, and the next day, “Fundamentals of Qi Guidance” was added to the curriculum at primary and secondary schools nationwide. He hauled up a Cybertronian spark, and three months later, a miniature controlled nuclear fusion device lit up Kyoto. He cast his line and dragged up a prehistoric beast embryo, bringing the entire Institute of Paleontology to tears. While other nations were still fighting over oil and mineral deposits, Xia State was quietly “stocking up” across the Myriad Worlds. Then, at the Blue Star United Nations General Assembly, representatives of other countries angrily accused them: “Xia State’s technological explosion violates the laws of the universe!” Yang Fan lazily looked up from his fishing chair and cast his third line of the day: “Oh, I just caught an unclaimed planet. Tell me, people of that planet, would you like to move?” Behind him, 1.4 billion people had already packed their bags. Above the fish pond, a gateway to the starry sky slowly opened. “Final phase of the Angling for the Colossal Turtle Plan initiated. Pond master, please lead our civilization forward.”
