A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

What comes into view is a lake.

A fat old man was fishing in the center of the lake.

Lin Yang was led by the silver-haired woman and appeared directly at the edge of the lake.

Following the words of the silver-haired woman, the fat old man muttered, "Yueyou, could you have given me a heads-up when you came? You scared my fish away again! I've been fishing for three months and was about to catch a catch, but now you scared them away. You have to compensate me!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired woman curled her lips and said, "Come on, when have you ever successfully caught a fish?"

"Isn't it because you scare me away every time?" the fat old man muttered.

"Forget it, you can only blackmail me." The silver-haired woman chuckled, then said seriously: "Let's get down to business. I have brought the person here. This kid is in a hurry. His hometown may be invaded at any time. You should finish it as soon as possible so that I can take him back."

Swish.

The next moment, Lin Yang felt his eyes blurred again, and the fat old man came directly in front of him from the center of the lake, looking him up and down.

After a moment, the fat old man blew his white beard at the silver-haired woman and glared at her, "Is this the gifted super genius you praised me to the sky?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" The silver-haired woman looked at the fat old man.

The fat old man immediately said angrily: "This kid is not even a proper genetic warrior. His strength is so weak. How dare you brag like that?"

Then, he pointed at Lin Yang and said angrily, "You brought such a weakling to me and asked me to help you fold the space. Do you think I'm old and easy to fool now?"

"..." Lin Yang was numb.

This old man... kept saying things that looked down on him in front of him, and even called him a weakling. Did he really not care about his feelings at all?

Although, compared to the silver-haired woman and the old man, he is indeed weak.

But is it really okay to say it directly like this?
"Hehe, Old Man Zhu, you can't just judge a person by his appearance. I admit that this kid is a little weak now, but he has unlimited potential. I really didn't lie to you about this." The silver-haired woman emphasized again.

"Unlimited potential??? How can you tell that he has unlimited potential?"

The fat old man immediately looked at Lin Yang in surprise: "With such a small body, you have unlimited potential? I'm afraid you can't even reach my first level standard!"

"... Old Zhu, don't you even trust me?" The silver-haired woman also glared, "When have I ever boasted in all these years?"

"Well...that's not the case, but you said this kid is very talented, but I really can't see it." The fat old man muttered.

"You have always had a bad eye for people, so you'd better stop looking at me. Give me some face and test me. If it doesn't work, just pretend I've never been here." The silver-haired woman curled her lips.

"Well, okay, since you have said so much, I will reluctantly test this kid. But let me say this in advance, he is too weak. Don't blame me if he dies." The fat old man said slowly.

"He won't die, so go ahead and do whatever you want." The silver-haired woman laughed.

"Huh? Yueyou, are you hiding something from me? Why do you have so much confidence in this kid?" The fat old man became suspicious when he heard this.

"What can I hide from you?" The silver-haired woman smiled faintly. "Well, now that we have time to talk, we have already been tested. Also, Old Zhu, don't blame me for not reminding you. This guy may be your only hope. You have to be careful even if you try your best. If you look down on him now, don't regret it in the future."

"? Me, regret it? Are you kidding me?"

The fat old man sneered for a moment, then looked at the silver-haired woman and said, "I want to see what's so special about this kid that he's worth your recommendation!"

Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, old man Bai Fang reached out his hand and slapped Lin Yang's shoulder heavily, then grabbed him fiercely.

"hiss!"

The fat old man's sudden action made Lin Yang grimace in pain and he couldn't help but gasp.

"What a weakling!" The fat old man sneered again when he saw this.

Following closely, Lin Yang felt dizzy. When his vision returned to normal, he found himself in the center of the lake where the fat old man had been fishing.

"Boy, if you can catch a fish within three months, no matter what kind of fish it is, you will have passed my first test!"

The voice of the fat old man came from afar.

"Ah? Fishing?" Lin Yang was stunned.

What kind of test is this?

However, neither the fat old man nor the silver-haired woman responded to his question.

Lin Yang had no choice but to pick up the fishing rod that the fat old man had just taken, with all his doubts.

He has no experience in fishing.

However, the basic procedures and operations are still known.

But what puzzled him was that the fat old man didn't use any bait when fishing.

There was only a small, thin slice of meat on the hook that he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.

There was nothing but this tiny, thin piece of meat hanging on the hook.

Using meat slices to fish, Lin Yang had no idea what kind of fish the fat old man wanted to catch.

But one thing is certain, this fish is definitely not that easy to catch.

He had not forgotten that when he arrived here just now, the fat old man said that he had been fishing here for three months and had not caught a single fish.

As you can imagine, it is not that easy to catch a fish.

This made Lin Yang more or less speechless.

If you want to fish, you have to at least make a nest first. If you don’t even have the bait, how can you catch fish?

It would be strange if this could catch fish!

"There's a reason why this old man hasn't caught a single fish in three months."

Lin Yang complained in his heart, but he could only throw the hook.

Although there was no bait, since this was a test, he had to give it a try anyway.

But he was also prepared for failure. The old man hadn't caught a fish in three months, so giving him three months now would probably not be enough.

……

"Old Zhu, you are doing this on purpose, right? You can't even catch a fish yourself, and you are testing others with this?"

On the shore of the lake, the silver-haired woman saw this and said to the fat old man in dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, didn't you just tell me to be careful? Then I naturally can't let him accept the usual dangerous test. If he dies, you will fight me to the death?" The fat old man smiled complacently.

“Didn’t I tell you that you can do whatever you want to me?” The silver-haired woman became even more unhappy.

"I see that you value this kid so much. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to him? This test is great. Fishing, looking at the lake view, leisurely and comfortable, without any danger. How perfect!" The fat old man chuckled.

"If you don't want to help, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush!"

The silver-haired woman snorted coldly:
"The fish here are hard to catch even for me, so it's impossible for him to fish here!" "And you only gave him three months. Not to mention three months, even if it's three or thirty years, he won't be able to catch a single fish!"

"Then you can't blame me. Didn't you say he was gifted? What if he succeeded?" The fat old man chuckled again.

"Hmph, Old Man Zhu, it's okay if you want to be angry with me, but since you missed this kid, I tell you, you really have no hope!" The silver-haired woman snorted angrily.

After saying that, the silver-haired woman took a step forward, wanting to go to the center of the lake.

"What do you want to do?" The fat old man took the lead and stood in front of the silver-haired woman.

"Of course I took him away!" The silver-haired woman glared at the fat old man, "Why are you still wasting time here when you gave me this impossible test?"

"Huh? Xiao Yueyou, what is your relationship with this kid? I've never seen you care so much about anyone."

The fat old man became curious again.

"I have nothing to say to you now, get out of the way!" said the silver-haired woman coldly.

"Tsk tsk, don't you want me to help save this kid's hometown?" The fat old man smiled strangely.

"You're not the only one who can fold the universe. I can only say that it's your own loss if you miss out on this guy! Just don't cry and regret it in the future!" The silver-haired woman snorted again.

"Hey, if that's what you say, then I really can't let you take him away. I want to see what's so special about this kid!" The fat old man didn't move at all.

"You won't let me, right? Then let's have a fight." The silver-haired woman stared at the fat old man.

"Wow, Xiao Yueyou, are you crazy? You want to fight with me for this boy?"

The fat old man was shocked:

"It's only three months. Can't we afford to waste so much time?"

"Nonsense, for an old man like you, three months will pass in a flash, but for him, these three months are crucial. I can't let him waste his time here at the critical moment. Since you, old man, don't know what's good for you, then I will take him to find someone else." The silver-haired woman's voice was cold.

The fat old man was even more surprised when he heard this: "What is the origin of this kid? How could he allow you to do this?"

"I've said everything I need to say. As for the rest, I have nothing to comment!" The silver-haired woman snorted coldly.

"Interesting. To be treated this way by you, it seems that there must be something special about him. In this case, I will change the rules. As long as he can stay in the center of the lake for three months without catching any fish, I will consider him to have passed the test. How do you think?"

The fat old man looked at the silver-haired woman's cold expression, rolled his eyes, and made concessions.

"I said, three months is too long and we can't afford to waste it." The silver-haired woman rejected the suggestion.

"What do you want this kid to do in three months?" The fat old man finally frowned.

"No comment!" the silver-haired woman emphasized again.

"...Then what do you want? If three months is too long, then two months, or if that doesn't work, one month will do." The fat old man rolled his eyes again and made another concession.

"Three days!"

The silver-haired woman held up three fingers and said, "Just three days. If you agree, I will wait here for three days. If you don't agree, I will take him away. If you want to stop me, I don't mind fighting with you."

"Three days? Are you really crazy?" The fat old man was so angry that he screamed, "Wait for three days, why don't you just let me count him as having passed? What's the point of this test?"

"I don't care, it's just three days!" The silver-haired woman insisted!
The fat old man was stunned for a moment: "Are you serious about following me?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding you?" the silver-haired woman asked back.

"Is this kid really special?" The fat old man couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Yang.

"Anyway, losing him is your loss." The silver-haired woman said leisurely.

Hearing this, the fat old man did not speak immediately. He seemed to be thinking about something, and a conflicted look appeared on his face.

Three minutes later, the fat old man seemed to have made a decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, three days is three days. As long as he can stay for the full three days, I will consider him a pass. But for these three days, I will increase my efforts by 50%."

"Okay, you keep your word, deal!" The silver-haired woman instantly revealed a cunning look when she heard that.

"...Your expression makes me feel like I've been fooled. Are you deliberately provoking me by making this kid sound special, just to shorten my test?" The fat old man suddenly slapped his forehead, looking a little annoyed.

"I didn't, don't guess." The silver-haired woman denied it directly.

"Hmph, you'd better not have it! Otherwise I won't help you!" the fat old man said angrily again.

"Oh, okay, okay, would I cheat you? Passing the test will only do you good!" The silver-haired woman smiled slightly.

"...Okay, although I feel like I might have been fooled, three days is just three days!" The fat old man sighed as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

"Don't look like you've been cheated, okay? In the future you'll know how good I was to you today!" The silver-haired woman rolled her eyes at the fat old man.

The fat old man ignored him and looked at Lin Yang, saying, "I don't believe this kid can last three days!"

"Then let's make a bet. I bet he can definitely hold on! As for the bet, let's bet on the fish you caught last time. How about it?" The silver-haired woman smiled.

"I won't bet with you. Who knows if you are hiding something from me." The fat old man, contrary to his usual behavior, refused directly.

"How stingy! It's just a fish!" The silver-haired woman curled her lips.

"I knew you had bad intentions. It turns out you had your sights on my fish. I tell you, forget it. It took me a long time to catch that fish. I couldn't even bear to eat it myself." The fat old man rolled his eyes.

"Tsk, it's just a stinky fish, look at how precious it is to you." The silver-haired woman sneered.

"Stinky fish? If you have the ability, catch a stinky fish, hum!" The fat old man laughed instead of getting angry, looking very proud.

"I just don't have time, otherwise it wouldn't be your turn!" The silver-haired woman snorted.

"Tsk, everyone can brag." The fat old man became even more proud.

"you……"

The silver-haired woman's eyes flashed, and she was about to refute, but the next moment, her and the fat old man's expressions changed at the same time, and they exclaimed in unison.

"That, that's..."

"No, that's impossible!"

"How can this be!"

"..."
