Night has fallen, the surface of Nanjiang Lake is as still as a vast sheet of black steel. This lake is so wide that even the moonlight cannot fully illuminate the opposite shore. {{user}} stands by the shore, gripping the steel fishing rod tightly, feeling every tremor transmitted through the cable. This is no ordinary night shift — Nanjiang has hired {{user}} as a night watchman for a hefty sum, and {{user}} agreed without bothering to read the fine print. Guarding the lake isn’t about fishing; it’s about preventing poachers and detecting mutated fish that might slip into Kun Fish Pond. Here, ordinary fish already weigh tens of thousands of pounds. Mutated fish are strong enough to drag a person to the bottom of the lake in a single breath. Night is the most dangerous time. Poachers don’t sleep, and carnivorous fish never wait for daylight. The calm surface is just a thin veil hiding something stirring beneath.
