Chapter 105: Gu Yi's Fishing Technique

"No, you're right. But I have another task for you."

"Another task?"

"A secret mission."

Qu Kangping leaned closer to Gu Yi, winked mysteriously, and then turned to the others, clearing his throat.

"You've all heard what Gu Yi said. Starting now, begin your investigations immediately. By tonight, I need everything to be clear. Gu Yi and I have other tasks to complete. Meeting dismissed."

Everyone got up, discussing the meeting as they left the office.

Blinking his big eyes, Gu Yi curiously asked, "Leader, where are we going?"

"Hehe, I'm taking you for training, of course." Qu Kangping replied with a grin, "What's your current mental power?"

"100."

"You should have noticed, right? Your mental power growth rate in the weird world has decreased, hasn't it?"

"Yes."

"In fact, there are many ways to train mental power. Even in the real world, it can be practiced. Mental power is your most crucial asset; it allows you to stay calm when facing the Unspeakable."

"Um..."

Gu Yi nodded silently.

"Alright, come with me."

Gu Yi followed Qu Kangping to the parking lot, where Ah Jian had already started the car.

Qu Kangping sat in the passenger seat, chatting and laughing with Ah Jian.

In the backseat, Gu Yi was deep in thought, recalling the list and details of the adventurers. His memory was extraordinary, and he had already committed everything to heart after only a brief glance.

"We're here, get out."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi got out of the car.

They were by a small river in a desolate area with scattered greenery around. Not far away was a perimeter of barbed wire, with armed guards stationed at the entrance.

"What is this place?"

"This is our Strategy Team's training ground." Qu Kangping pointed in the distance, "See the targets?"

"Yeah, I see them. Did you bring me here to practice shooting? I think it's unnecessary. In many dungeons, the role of firearms is minimal. Rather than practicing shooting, I'd rather..."

"Rather go fishing."

Qu Kangping handed a fishing rod to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi looked at him, utterly baffled.

"Fishing? I don't have time for that..."

"This is an order. Your job today is to relax and fish. Ah Jian, get him a stool to sit next to me."

"What?"

Gu Yi was forcibly seated on a stool by Ah Jian.

A Jian was a rigorously trained agent; in terms of physical prowess, Gu Yi was no match for him.

Reluctantly, Gu Yi picked up the fishing rod and mimicked Qu Kangping, baiting his hook, "I feel like this is a sheer waste of time. You might as well have Brother Ah Jian teach me some hand-to-hand combat techniques."

"You know shit."

Qu Kangping cast his line and lit a cigarette.

"In the weird world, your mental state is always tense. If you return to the real world and remain in such a state, it'll be too much to bear. There has to be a balance."

"I think I'm fine."

"Oh, I hope so."

Qu Kangping took a drag from his cigarette, calmly stating, "I didn't bring you here to fish without reason. I'll have you know, my talent also possesses a form of foresight, so I know precisely how to train mental power."

"Huh?"

"You can't use your talents in the real world, but that doesn't mean you lose your intuition. Everyone has intuition; the weird world merely amplifies yours, turning it into a talent."

"I see." Gu Yi nodded thoughtfully. "But... what does this have to do with fishing?"

"Fishing is actually an excellent exercise for mental strength. The most important thing when fishing is patience. You can meditate while fishing, which helps hone your mental power.

Moreover, fishing is an excellent opportunity to train your intuition.

For example, right now, my intuition tells me I'll be the first to catch a fish. If you don't believe me..."

Splash—

Gu Yi lifted his rod, revealing a fish the size of a palm.

Qu Kangping with a cigarette in hand, coughed twice, "Not bad, young man."

"This fish is so small."

Gu Yi frowned, unhooking the tiny fish and tossing it back into the river.

Qu Kangping continued to gaze at the lake.

"Cough, cough... The reason I brought you fishing is one, to help you relax, and two, to train your intuition and mental strength. Hey, let me show you. I have a feeling I'll catch a big fish any moment now."

Splash—

Gu Yi lifted his rod, and a big fish was flapping its tail vigorously. Gu Yi fumbled to grab the fish and casually tossed it into the bucket next to him.

Qu Kangping wiped the water from his face and coughed twice, snuffing out his cigarette.

"You're quite interesting, young man. You remind me a bit of myself when I was younger. Back in my day, I was quite skilled too. Every time I went fishing with friends, I'd be the first to catch a fish, often even the biggest one.

But, you know, fishing isn't just about catching one big fish. I have a feeling that today, I'll catch the most fish. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet..."

Splash—

Splash—

Splash—

While Qu Kangping was speaking to himself, Gu Yi caught three fish in a row.

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Qu Kangping's mouth.

"Heh... I'm starting to acknowledge your skill. But don't get cocky; it's just the beginning. When I used to fish, I caught so many I'd have to borrow other people's buckets. I have a feeling..."

Suddenly, Gu Yi stood up and walked over to Ah Jian.

"Brother Ah Jian, can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"My bucket's full. Can I borrow yours?"

"Oh, sure."

Gu Yi took Ah Jian's bucket and placed it next to him.

Qu Kangping looked at Gu Yi and asked with a frown, "Are you playing dumb and acting smart?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Have you fished before?"

"Nope."

"Then how are you so good?"

"I don't know." Gu Yi shrugged, "You're right, fishing is indeed relaxing. Once I fill up the remaining two buckets, let's head back. We have another big fish to catch."

"Hmph!"

Qu Kangping put down his fishing rod, angrily lit a cigarette, and gestured to Ah Jian, whispering, "Ah Jian, don't bring this kid fishing anymore."

"But you said fishing could train one's mental strength..."

"That was bloody nonsense," Qu Kangping cursed. "If I didn't trick him like that, would this kid willingly come to rest?"

"I almost believed it for real."

Suddenly, Qu Kangping felt a shadow behind him. Turning around, he found that Gu Yi had caught another lively big fish.

"Leader, Brother Ah Jian's bucket is also full. Can I use yours?"

Qu Kangping gave an embarrassed smile and handed his bucket to Gu Yi.

...

Blood.

Explosions.

Limb fragments.

In an interrogation room stained red with blood, only a pair of bloody arms remained.

The arms incessantly scratched the ground, digging out a dead man's head from the floor.

The decapitated head floated up, spinning in the air, emitting creepy laughter.

...

"Ah!"

Gu Yi abruptly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

Ah Jian and Gu Yi shared a dormitory. Ah Jian sat up, looking at Gu Yi in surprise.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"I had a nightmare."

"Huh?"

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, then grabbed Ah Jian's arm, saying earnestly, "I must be involved in the mission to capture the host!"

"No way," Ah Jian shook his head. "That guy's too dangerous. The leader said our priority is to ensure your safety."

"Fine." Gu Yi opened the dormitory door. "I'll go talk to the leader myself."
