The happiness of a man is actually very simple.
Many people were looking forward to this moment.
They were all waiting to drag in the nets.
Especially the instant when the fish were pulled up.
That feeling was truly exhilarating.
The arrival of Takumi, Ningguang, and the others quickly attracted attention.
Naturally, Takumi let keqing take the lead.
Keqing was better suited for handling these matters.
Hearing Takumi's words, keqing was not stage-frightened.
Instead, she walked forward calmly and began to speak.
She also announced several matters in passing.
From now on, once every year, on this same day each year, this place would be opened for fishing.
At ordinary times, fishing here would be prohibited.
It would only be opened at designated times.
There was no doubt that this area would be placed under the control of the Millelith in the future.
The benefits this place could bring were absolutely enormous.
It could already be considered the largest lake within Liyue's territory.
Ningguang and the others clearly understood how rich the resources inside were.
Because of this, keqing directly announced that this place would be brought under official management.
No one had any objections to this decision.
There was nothing personal involved.
Being included under Liyue's jurisdiction was also beneficial.
Under normal circumstances, people could still come to fish.
However, large-scale fishing would not be allowed.
Unless it was this specific time of year, it would not be opened.
This could also be considered a form of resource protection.
After explaining these matters,
Fishing officially began.
As the large vessels started moving,
Everyone began to watch intently.
Everyone was eager to see what kind of fish would be caught first.
Even Takumi felt a sense of anticipation.
At the same time, Takumi muttered to himself.
He only hoped that some of the monsters below would not surface.
If they did, they would likely be dealt with immediately.
After so many years in this lake, there was certainly a lot hidden beneath.
And just as expected, what should come eventually came.
When the fishing boat pulled in the net,
The surface of the lake began to churn violently.
Keqing, standing beside Takumi, sensed the disturbance and let out a cold snort.
The sword in her hand appeared instantly.
She raised her arm and slashed outward.
In an instant, lightning burst forth.
Purple thunder streaked across the lake and struck downward.
Boom!
Moments later, the surface of the lake was stained red.
The corpse of a strange monster floated up.
Immediately afterward, keqing's voice rang out.
"Do not worry about this. Continue fishing."
"I am here."
Hearing keqing's words, everyone cheered.
Everyone trusted keqing deeply.
Since she said so, what was there to fear?
Even if monsters appeared, they would be easily resolved.
In fact, aside from Takumi and keqing, others were also present.
There were even yakshas stationed nearby.
Even if keqing did not act,
The yakshas would intervene.
There was no need to worry about safety at all.
As the first boat hauled in its catch,
Everyone's excitement rose.
They all saw the fish loaded onto the deck.
Many were two to three meters long.
Almost all of them were large fish.
After all, the nets used this time were specifically designed for large catches.
So catching so many big fish with the first haul alone—
How could that not be exciting?
The resources here were simply too abundant.
It was indeed a place untouched for many years.
All of these fish were wild.
"Hiss!"
"Just one of these can sell for a huge price."
"Damn, how can people even buy this?"
"I wanted to buy a few to cook at home, but they're all so big?"
Some people planned to buy fish to eat.
But seeing the enormous size of the catches,
They suddenly hesitated.
How do you even eat a fish this large?
An entire family probably could not finish one.
Did that mean the plan to enjoy fresh fish was ruined?
"Don't panic, there will be small fishing boats later."
"There should be plenty of smaller fish."
Hearing this, some people finally relaxed.
As boat after boat returned with full nets,
Everyone truly realized how rich this lake was.
Even Takumi, Ningguang, and the others were surprised.
They had not expected the fish to be this large.
This was genuinely impressive.
As people watched the fishing spectacle,
More and more individuals gathered.
Seeing the massive catches,
Everyone was amazed without exception.
To prevent fish from escaping,
Takumi even called in members of the Vision team.
Ice and Electro users worked together.
They either froze the fish or paralyzed them.
The caught fish were transported ashore and weighed on the spot.
Anyone who wanted to buy simply paid immediately.
Owners of restaurants and inns rushed over to inquire about prices.
After learning how low the prices were,
Many purchased large quantities on the spot.
Even if the fish were big, they could easily be sold later.
Fish merchants also made quick moves,
Buying up the fish they liked.
For a time, the area turned into a massive trading ground.
As more and more fish were hauled in,
The scene grew increasingly lively.
Although the smell of fish filled the air, no one minded.
Instead, everyone was excited by the abundance.
During this time, Takumi also met xiangling.
Xiangling had come over to buy fish as well.
She became excited when she saw Takumi and the others.
"Takumi, the fish here is amazing."
"You have to save some for me."
Xiangling spoke as if she were taking advantage of connections.
Hearing this, Takumi smiled.
"The person in charge of selling fish is from the General Affairs Department."
That single sentence made xiangling understand immediately.
Since it was the General Affairs Department,
Buying fish would not be difficult at all.
After all, that was practically her home.
Happy!
She immediately stopped worrying.
Instead, she chatted with Takumi.
"I've already made all the snacks you asked for."
"But I'm not sure if they can be preserved for that long."
"The taste is really good."
"Perfect for passing time."
After speaking, xiangling took out a large box from her storage equipment.
Inside were all kinds of delicacies she had prepared.
Now it was Takumi's turn to try them.
They were indeed delicious.
Seeing what xiangling took out, Takumi's eyes lit up.
"Leave this to me."
"Do you have all the recipes ready?"
"If there are no issues, I'll have someone prepare the production line."
It was incredibly fast.
She delivered results almost instantly.
Takumi knew he had chosen the right person.
Xiangling nodded.
She even took out the production methods she had summarized herself.
