Openly and Honestly, I’m Reading Book Number 20

Reborn as a sent-down youth in 1975, and forced to drink sweet potato soup for three days straight from the start?

Luckily, he awakened the bloodline of an ancient qilin!

His right arm had the strength of a thousand pounds, he could see underwater as clearly as in broad daylight, and he could hold his breath for half an hour!

While others were so hungry they chewed tree bark, Chen An caught a hundred-pound bighead carp in the reed marsh and cooked a pot of rich fish soup that made everyone at the youth settlement drool!

The usually aloof and distant educated youth, desperate for a bowl of fish soup, blushed and knocked on his door in the middle of the night...

In this era of extreme scarcity, Chen An used nothing but a homemade bamboo rod to leave everyone else in the dust and live a carefree life!

He caught softshell turtles in deep pools, slew giant pythons in underground rivers, and traded for foreign currency on the black market!

While others were still fighting tooth and nail for a chance to return to the city, Chen An had already leased ten thousand acres of water and become a bona fide underground tycoon.

The aloof educated youth Su Wanqing: “Chen An, I'm not going back to the city. I'll cook for you for the rest of my life.”

The alluring widow Lin Xiuzhi: “You scoundrel, your sister-in-law's life is yours...”

And an arrogant village beauty and a sweet, shy village girl with a secretly voluptuous figure compete for his attention.

See how Chen An makes his way through the times, builds a business empire, surrounds himself with beauties, and watches the world unfold with a smile!
