Unemployed with a 985 Degree from the Start: The Fishing Fan’s Rod Snaps from the Fish in His Pond

Qin Hao quits his job and returns to his village, where he takes over an abandoned fishpond at the village entrance that nobody wants.

The villagers all laugh at him.

“Graduated from a top university and came back to raise fish? Have you lost your mind?”

Qin Hao doesn't explain. He just puts up a sign beside the pond: Fishing, 100 yuan for half a day, 200 for a full day.

The moment an angler casts his line, the float dives straight under.

A huge fish bends his 8.1-meter rod into a perfect arc, and the size-10 line snaps with a loud crack.

The angler refuses to give up and switches to a steel-wire leader.

Three minutes later, he's nearly dragged into the water. A beautiful livestreamer screams beside him, her white shirt soaked and clinging to her body, and the livestream chat goes wild.

Qin Hao stares at the System panel, lost in thought.

[Pond evolution speed: 1,000x]

[Maximum catch: Unknown]

[Anomalous life-form: Scanning]

That night, a huge ripple spreads across the center of the pond.

Whatever it is, it doesn't look like a fish anymore.
