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

Center of the lake.

Three minutes ago.

Lin Yang was originally thinking about how to catch a fish.

Although the mysterious fat old man hadn't caught any fish in three months, which showed that the fish here were probably not ordinary ones, he didn't want to give up easily.

After all, if he fails the test, there will be no way for this fat old man to help him fold the universe of Blue Planet.

For the sake of Blue Star, he has to work hard no matter what.

But now he had no bait or other tools, which made him feel like a skilled cook without rice.

"System, is there any way you can help me catch fish?" Lin Yang asked silently.

"Sorry, host, this system is currently unable to provide you with the corresponding service. Your current national treasure value is zero, so it is difficult for this system to do anything for you."

"Oh, okay." Lin Yang sighed.

The system's answer was just as he expected: it was of no help at all.

Without the value of national treasures, the system now has little presence.

"I should have brought back some animals from alien planets before returning to Blue Planet." Lin Yang muttered to himself.

He now has an Academician's Dream series of tasks to complete.

The goal is to find special animals on other planets and bring them back to the Institute of Ecology.

However, on the one hand, there are indeed no animals for sale on those highly technologically advanced planets.

It was just like the situation he encountered for the first time on Guiyun Star.

When the people on Guiyun Star learned that he wanted to buy animals, they were extremely shocked.

Now Lin Yang more or less knows some of the reasons.

On most technological planets, the lives of ordinary people are not as good as imagined.

Only the truly great men in civilization have the mood and resources to raise animals for their enjoyment.

On many technological planets, traveling and sightseeing have almost become exclusive to high-level officials.

Therefore, there are basically no special animal trading areas on many technological planets.

If you want to obtain unique animals from alien planets, you can only contact the top leaders of the planet’s civilization.

At that time, he was only thinking about going home, so naturally he had no time or mood to do these things.

Another reason is that since we don’t know when we can return to the Blue Planet, even if we get animals from other planets, there is no place to store them.

The hibernation chamber on the spacecraft can only be used by humans and cannot put large animals into hibernation.

If you cannot put animals to sleep, you have to be responsible for their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

At that time, Lin Yang was also not in the mood to do these things.

On the way back to Blue Star, he didn't dare to expose himself easily, so naturally he didn't have the energy to feed the livestock.

In addition, there is another reason. Lin Yang feels that as long as he finds the way back to the Blue Star, with his understanding of the universe this time, it is completely possible to go back to other planets to look for animals again.

So I returned empty-handed.

Of course, another reason is that I returned too suddenly.

The silver-haired woman took them directly on a great leap back to Blue Star.

Otherwise, according to the plan, Lin Yang intended to bring some animals back after returning to the Milky Way.

It’s just that plans can’t keep up with changes, so the national treasure value is still zero.

After feeling emotional for a while, Lin Yang stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking about it now.

He could only observe the small island in the middle of the lake and try to see if there was any other way to successfully catch a fish.

But the system suddenly said: "Host, although this system cannot provide you with services for the time being, you can try meditation, and you may gain unexpected benefits."

"Huh? Meditation? What do you mean?" Lin Yang was a little confused by this.

Is there any special connection between meditation and fishing?

"Answer the host. This system only suggests that you try to meditate, empty your mind, and perceive this lake."

"What the hell? Using meditation to fish? Are you sure you are not kidding?" Lin Yang complained.

"This system is just a suggestion. Whether to do it or not is entirely up to you, the host."

"...Okay, then I'll try it." Lin Yang pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.

The system's words are never aimless, and this has been proven many times.

So Lin Yang decided to give the system's seemingly nonsensical suggestion a try.

Then, he began to meditate according to the system's instructions.

There is nothing special about meditation. It is just to empty your mind and relax your spirit.

Sometimes when learning yoga on the Blue Planet, one has to meditate for a while before performing the formal movements.

However, meditation can be divided into complete emptying meditation and directed meditation.

Completely emptying your mind in meditation means not thinking about anything and letting your mind go completely blank.

Directed meditation allows you to imagine anything you want while relaxing.

You can imagine yourself as a fish, playing in the ocean.

You can also imagine yourself in the universe and feel the vastness of the starry sky.

Anyway, think about whatever you want.

The system required him to empty his mind and sense the lake.

So Lin Yang took three deep breaths to relax himself, and then imagined himself as the lake and the fish in the lake.

Also imagine yourself catching fish after fish from the lake.

This is a bit fantasy.

but……

hum.

The fishhook suddenly moved.

“What the hell?! Is there really a fish taking the bait???”

Lin Yang woke up instantly and subconsciously shook it off.

The fish hook came out of water, with a big golden fish hanging on it.

Yes, that's right.

Big fish!

A very big fish!

It is a kind of fish that Lin Yang has never seen before. To make an analogy, it is probably a bit like a carp, but much larger than a carp.

And its body is covered with golden scales.

It’s as long as a normal adult’s arm!

This is definitely a big fish!
Looking at the big fish struggling on the hook, Lin Yang was really stunned!
He actually caught this thing?

Imagine yourself catching a fish, and you will actually catch it!
This made him feel like he had seen a ghost!

However, although Lin Yang was shocked at this time, he did not have time to think too much. He quickly lifted the rod and put the fish into the fish basket before he felt completely relieved.

Although he caught a fish inexplicably, this fish determined whether the Blue Star could be folded, so Lin Yang did not dare to neglect it at all.

He did this smoothly and was ready to take the fish basket to tell the fat old man that he had successfully caught the fish.

Then when he turned around, he saw from afar the fat old man and the silver-haired woman, both of them with expressions as if they had seen a ghost!

Both of them stared at him, as if they had seen something incredible.

The oppressive gaze made Lin Yang feel uncomfortable all over.

He gritted his teeth and lifted the fish basket to speak. But before he could say anything, the fat old man and the silver-haired woman appeared in front of him.

Then he felt the fish basket in his hand was snatched away!

It was really robbed!

The fat old man snatched the fish basket from his hand without saying a word.

Looking at the big golden fish in the fish basket, the fat old man's face instantly turned rosy!
"It's a red-tailed goldfish! And it's an adult red-tailed goldfish!!"

"How can this be?!"

"This is impossible!!"

"Ahhh, how come this weakling can catch a full-grown red-tailed goldfish!"

"I don't agree!!"

"This weakling must have cheated somehow!!"

"There's no way he could catch a red-tailed goldfish!"

"This shouldn't be the case!"

"I do not believe!!"

The fat old man was screaming as if he was crazy.

Sometimes he looked at the fish and screamed, and sometimes he looked at Lin Yang with a weird look and screamed.

This made Lin Yang silently take two steps back and quietly move two steps closer to the silver-haired woman.

He felt that the fat old man seemed a little mentally abnormal.

Scared!
However, the way the silver-haired woman looked at him was also very strange.

Lin Yang quietly took two steps back and kept a little distance from the silver-haired woman.

Then, under the strange looks of the two, he bravely said: "Well, do I pass the test?"

Snapped!
The next moment, Lin Yang felt his shoulders sink. The fat old man slapped his shoulders hard with his big hand. He stared at him with round eyes and said in a buzzing voice:
"Weakling, tell me, did you cheat? You must have cheated in some way, right? How could you possibly catch a red-tailed goldfish! You can't possibly catch one!"

The fat old man was breathing heavily, and his eyes were a little scary, as if he was going to swallow Lin Yang if he didn't give a good answer.

“……”Lin Yang’s scalp felt numb.

Cheating?

I’m afraid this old man really has mental problems!
What is fishing cheating?
What to cheat with?
Moreover, the entire process of fishing was under the supervision of the old man and the silver-haired woman, so how could he cheat?

He turned to look at the silver-haired woman, wanting to ask for help.

This old man is like a lunatic.

The strength in his hands was so great that he almost broke his shoulder bone.

"Cough cough."

The silver-haired woman was also shocked, but seeing Lin Yang's pleading eyes and the pained look on his face, she gently raised her hand and slapped away the fat old man's big hand that was fiercely grabbing Lin Yang's shoulder, and said slowly:

"Old man, calm down! Now that this guy has caught a fish, you have to keep your word. This means you have passed the test!"

The fat old man's face trembled when he heard this. He suddenly sighed fiercely and looked at Lin Yang and said, "You are lucky, kid. I was planning to catch this red-tailed goldfish in the past few months. I must have done enough work in the early stage, and now you have picked up the opportunity!"

"..."

After these words came out, Lin Yang's eyes looked a little strange.

The silver-haired woman burst into laughter instantly. "Haha, haha, old man Zhu, can you be a little more shameless? You want to fish for a red-tailed goldfish? And you've done enough work in the early stage? Can you have some shame? I'm not looking down on you, you can fish here until you die, and I'll consider you lucky if you can catch a palm-sized red-tailed goldfish before you die!"

"..."

The silver-haired woman's rude laughter made the fat old man's face turn red again, but he didn't continue to argue with the silver-haired woman. Instead, he muttered, "Anyway, this red-tailed goldfish belongs to me now!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired woman's wild laughter stopped abruptly. She suddenly turned her head and glared at Lin Yang: "You kid, why do you want to fish if you want to? Why are you catching such a good fish? Now it's going to be taken advantage of by that old man!"

"..." Lin Yang was numb.

Is it wrong to catch a fish?
Isn’t the test to successfully catch a fish?
And he doesn't have the final say on what kind of fish can be caught!

But he didn't dare speak.

Although he didn't know where this lake was, nor did he know what was special about the fish here.

However, judging from the reactions of the silver-haired lady and the fat old man, it can be seen that the fish he caught might have some explanation.

"Hahaha, kid, you're good, very good. Now I, an old man, like you a little bit!"

The fat old man suddenly changed his tone, became extremely kind, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

This is completely different from the image just now.

Lin Yang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This change of attitude is too fast.

However, he thought about what the silver-haired woman had told him before she came, that the old man had a strange temper, so he stopped thinking about it and said politely to the old man, "I am honored to be recognized by you."

There's no other way. We're still counting on this old man to help fold the universe of Blue Planet, so we have to be polite to him.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, quite polite."

The fat old man smiled again, raised his finger, and a thin piece of meat appeared on the hook again. He said to Lin Yang: "You continue fishing, I will go take care of this red-tailed goldfish first."

"Ah? Still fishing?" Lin Yang was stunned.

“Haha, don’t worry, you have passed the test by catching this red-tailed goldfish. It doesn’t matter whether you can catch any next time.” The white-haired old man laughed.

“Oh oh…” Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked repeatedly: “What about the matter of folding the universe of my hometown…”

"We'll talk about this later."

The fat old man replied, then disappeared in a flash.

Lin Yang turned his head and looked at the silver-haired woman.

"Don't worry, although this old guy has a strange temper, he keeps his word. You have passed the test and he will help you." said the silver-haired woman.

Only then did Lin Yang feel completely relieved, and then he thanked the silver-haired woman.

Thank you for the introduction, silver-haired lady.

"You don't have to thank me in a hurry. Just tell me secretly how you caught that red-tailed goldfish?" The silver-haired woman asked softly, her eyes moving.

“This…” Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: “I don’t know either. I was thinking that with just a piece of meat and no bait, I wouldn’t be able to catch any fish, but the next second the fish took the bait!”

"Ah? Just like that?" The silver-haired woman looked surprised.

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded.

He was not lying. He really didn't know why the fish took the bait for no apparent reason.

The silver-haired woman glanced at him twice and could tell that Lin Yang was not lying. She sighed slightly and said, "It seems that your luck is really good."

"Maybe." Lin Yang also thought it might be a matter of luck.

After all, the silver-haired woman had emphasized many times before that he was quite lucky.

Then he cast the hook again, trying to see if he could catch another fish before the fat old man came back.

Since the fat old man likes the fish here so much, if we catch two more, he will be happy and helping to fold the universe will make things much more stable.

However, before he could throw the hook, he was stopped by the silver-haired woman.

The silver-haired woman glared at him and said unhappily, "What are you doing? You still want to fish? Don't let that old guy get away with it! No more fishing!"

"..."

Lin Yang blinked, looking a little confused.

The silver-haired woman's words sounded a little...
