Chapter 160: Chapter 132 Main Business_1

Feng Yi sat on the second-floor terrace, holding a stone in his hand.

This stone was one he picked up at random from a path where stones were polished. After realizing the polished stone was out of the ordinary, he chose one to examine more closely.

"It looks so ordinary, yet it can withstand the force of my palm!"

Where did grandma get this stone from?

Feng Yi even went out of his way to ask the butler, but the butler didn’t know either.

After staring at the stone for a long time without any revelations, Feng Yi set it aside and began searching for information about stones on his computer. But he didn’t find what he was looking for.

Dusk fell.

Feng Yi didn’t feel the heavy drowsiness of the semi-compulsory sleep he had experienced before that evening. After completing his first molting, it appeared that he had much more control over these physical changes.

Transform whenever I want! Carpe diem!

However, Feng Yi could also feel that the energy stored in his body wouldn’t last long—the tail consumes too much energy.

Human imitation was more energy-efficient.

On the west outskirts of Yang City.

A resort developed by several corporations was bustling with life at night.

The resort was large, and it was evident that the operators were very ambitious.

Within the resort, there were two small artificial lakes and a modified natural lake.

The two artificial lakes were already in use, while the natural lake area was still undergoing renovations. The lake was so large that the resort was situated next to only a part of it, and was utilizing just that fraction.

Since it wasn’t officially open yet, there weren’t many people around the natural lake. The large wetland ecological leisure area was still in its maintenance phase, so only the security personnel on shift hiked through it regularly.

But that night, a corner of the lake was illuminated by lights.

A large SUV and a small private car were parked by the lake.

Three men and a woman, four young people, stepped onto the wooden walkway.

They had come here for night fishing.

"Right here. I heard once this area is open, this spot will be highly sought after," said a young man dressed in a T-shirt and sweatpants, leading the way with the gear in hand.

He had lived nearby as a child. Later, his family moved away after receiving compensation for the resort development. However, once the resort started running, he came back to find work and also started moonlighting as a guide, providing entertainment tips and companionship.

This time someone had contacted him to bring a few young novices to experience night fishing. He provided the fishing gear and bait as well.

It was obvious that the three novices had money to spare, were fussy, and demanded a lot, but he didn’t mind. They were paying generously! They could call him "bro" or even "dad" if they liked!

After arranging the gear, he looked toward the young person busy with his phone, "Mo, do you guys want to rest for a bit or start now?"

The fashionably dressed young man glanced up from his phone screen and scanned the equipment on the ground, "Let’s start now! Don’t touch the gear yet though, I want to take some snaps!"

Mo Xiaoguang touched his shiny braids, extremely pleased with his trendy hairstyle. After taking photos, he signaled to his friends and cousin; he had brought them to experience the night fishing life. Someone in his social circle had been posting about night fishing for several days, and it looked super cool!

With his flashy personality, naturally, he had to let everyone know about any new experience!

So, he selected a few photos he had just taken and posted them on social media first, showing off before anything else.

After feeling satisfied with his friends’ comments, he was about to put away his phone when a voice call came through.

Mo Xiaoguang saw the name, Bai Lu, and answered with a laugh.

"You guys went there today?" Bai Lu sounded so envious he wished he could fly over right then.

"Brought some people over to play. Are you coming? I plan to fish here all night. The weather’s been good lately, and it’s not cold at night either."

Mo Xiaoguang said this, but in his heart, he thought: Fishing all night is impossible. Catch a few fish, take enough photos, achieve the goal, and then head back to the resort hotel to sleep!

"Can’t do it."

Bai Lu was bummed too. Seeing his friends planning to go night fishing made him itching to join, but his dad and brother had come up with a new recipe for him to try. He had been through several versions and couldn’t wrap it up quickly.

Of course, the family business was the priority over anything else.

"Is that area open now?" Bai Lu asked.

"Not yet, but I made a call and got the green light to come over for a trial run. Otherwise, we might not get a spot like this when it opens," Mo Xiaoguang boasted.

After the call, Mo Xiaoguang turned to the person next to him.

"Are you sure there are fish here? I’ve already spread the word; we can’t end up catching nothing."

"Don’t worry, Mo. I guarantee there are fish! I saw them stocking the lake last week! Loads of them!"

The person who spoke was checking the fishing gear, instructing Mo Xiaoguang and his group on how to fish...or, to be more accurate, how to strike the right poses.

Mo Xiaoguang got into position, and after waiting half an hour caught a fish. Excited, he took photos and videos but soon lost patience to continue waiting.

The recreational guide could tell that Mo Xiaoguang and his companions lacked patience; they had come to night fish just for a taste and the show—spending more time posing for pictures than actually fishing. He was just a helpful bystander.

Thinking of making the threesome’s visit more satisfying so they might return, the guide suggested, "Mo, if you guys aren’t getting along with the fishing rods, you could also try using a fishing net."

Mo Xiaoguang’s eyes lit up, "Good idea!"

He wasn’t actually interested in fishing with nets; he was just excited about another prop for showing off and taking photos. A new attempt, a new photo op.
