Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 86 The Fisherman's Monthly Meeting

Old Deng, a well-known expert in the Dongxia fishing community and hailed as the "King of Fishing," was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

I had just finished exploring a fishing spot during the day and showed off my skills in front of the camera.

He returned home brimming with pride, admiring the endless stream of likes and comments, when a knock on the door interrupted his self-absorbed reverie.

The knocking was crisp and steady, with consistent time intervals and volume between the three knocks, followed by a slight pause, and then another three knocks.

The meticulousness suddenly made Old Deng's scalp tingle.

His feeling was absolutely right.

Upon opening the door, two middle-aged men from Dongxia, dressed in formal attire, came up and immediately displayed their work group's official seal, the bright red of which stung Old Deng's eyes.

"Hello, are you Mr. Deng? This is the Southwest Branch of the National Security Protection Center. This is my work ID!"

"Excuse me for bothering you, but I have a rather important task that requires your assistance, Mr. Deng."

Old Deng swallowed hard, his body trembling slightly.

Which fishing spot had a murder that led to suspicions about me?
Or was it some familiar boss who became a spy and dragged me into this mess?
Surely I didn't find some silk scroll inside the belly of the fish I caught...

I won't fish for such big fish anymore; I knew some people would be envious...

The other party noticed Lao Deng's nervousness and added with a smile, "You don't need to worry, it's just that the leader has some questions about fishing that he would like to ask you."

Family members who came upon hearing the noise surrounded him, barely daring to breathe, staring blankly at the newcomer.

Old Deng was extremely flustered, but he could only bite the bullet and reply, "Then... should we go now?"

"Yes, time is tight, and we hope you can leave immediately!"

Can you tell me where to go?

"Chang'an! The leader is waiting for you over there!"

"Um, are we taking the high-speed train? Should I bring a few changes of clothes?"

"You don't need to do anything. We'll take care of everything. A private car will take you to the airport, and the private plane is ready to take off as soon as you arrive!"

At this point, Old Deng felt a little more at ease, realizing that his own abilities didn't warrant such a large-scale operation.

After a brief farewell to his family, he sped along the road, and more than three hours later, Old Deng was led into a large conference room, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

As soon as I went inside, my heart skipped a beat.

A dozen or so well-known colleagues from the fishing world, including the elderly Lao Liu, Lao Cheng, and Lao Xu, all sat there looking completely bewildered.

They exchanged glances, not daring to utter a single word.

As the last chair was occupied, a middle-aged officer with gleaming stars on his shoulders stood up.

"You've all had a long journey!"

Everyone waved their hands or shook their heads, saying, "No, no, I wouldn't dare!"
"You are all experts in the fishing world of Dongxia. I invited you here mainly because I have a special mission that requires your assistance."

"Let me first tell you about the packages we provide for you."

“Outside the venue, we have invited representatives from 42 suppliers and distributors, and more representatives are on their way.”

"If you need any brand or model of fishing gear, such as fishing rods, fishing lines, hooks and bait, you can report it at any time, and I guarantee to deliver it to you as soon as possible."

"The engineering department is conducting a final inspection of the simulated fishing grounds we have set up. You will all have your own independent experimental fishing grounds that simulate the wild environment."

"We have already placed different types and sizes of live fish in the tank. If you need to specify the size or species of fish for your experiments, please feel free to ask, and the logistics department will provide full support." The officer tapped the table twice lightly, stating his final request in the face of the surprised and uncertain gazes of the room.

"I need everyone to provide me with a complete and feasible plan, including what fishing gear to choose, how to mix the bait, and how to grasp the key techniques..."

"Thus, in the shortest possible time, someone with no experience can become a fishing expert!"

The entire room fell silent, utterly dumbfounded.

At this moment, Chen Mo had no idea that his casual situation report had caused such a huge uproar in the fishing community of Dongxia.

The image of Earth as the "eldest son of the United States" or "eldest son of the Republic" is mainly used to express the importance of a certain enterprise or group to the country.

Chen Mo now can be considered the youngest grandson of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

They spoil them to an extreme, because there's a saying that goes, "You love your grandchildren more than your children."

This wasn't just pointless pain; Chen Mo had spared no effort in sending all sorts of odds and ends from the Starry Continent to his family, which had already brought about tremendous changes in several areas.

At this month's Cihang Project Office meeting, Lin Xiangdong, the head of the stargazing team, reported on the month's work to the relevant leaders and coordinating departments.

Currently, the series of meetings surrounding the "wanderers" are divided into "three regular meetings and two special meetings".

The "Three Regular Meetings" refer to three regular meetings: the daily meeting of the "Star Gazing" team, the weekly meeting of the "Compassionate Voyage" project office, and the monthly meeting attended by all leaders and related departments.

"Two special meetings" refers to Category A special meetings convened urgently when the returning personnel send back important information, in addition to the three regular meetings, and Category B special meetings convened temporarily when the returning personnel deliver supplies and achieve significant results.

I turned on the big screen and first informed the leaders about the request for fishing technical support from [Youzi] last night, and the related arrangements.

The atmosphere in the venue instantly became joyful and peaceful.

Everyone had been on tenterhooks for quite some time.

Whether it was government officials or military staff, they all suggested that [Youzi] quickly go into hiding, whether it was a great hermit hiding in the city or a minor hermit hiding in the wilderness, in short, he should stay hidden for the rest of his life and never get involved in the entanglements of the Starry Continent again.

Faced with this sentiment, Cangming, in charge, rejected it.

"The security department has already done a lot of analysis on Comrade Xiao Chen's character, from his 'overestimation of his abilities' in going into the sea to save people to his 'soft-heartedness' on the run. The conclusion is obvious, so I won't go into details."

"But some things cannot be judged solely by interests; we must also consider right and wrong."

"Personally, he wanted to repay the kindness and medicine given to him by others."

"From a public perspective, he is striving to secure a suitable base to facilitate stable development in the future. In essence, he still wants to make more contributions to the country."

"When they delivered the medicine to our home, they didn't discuss any conditions with us."

Cangming surveyed the surroundings, his gaze intense: "It's something that can't be considered wrong from either a public or private perspective. If he doesn't want to do it, that's fine. But if Youzi wants to do it, and we stop him for certain benefits, doesn't that go against our original intentions?"

"In my personal opinion, if [Youzi] decides to do it, we should give our full support."

"If there is danger, we will help him avoid danger; if there is difficulty, we will help him solve difficulty; if he is really captured by the enemy, we will spare no expense to negotiate and ransom him."

"If we can't save them, we should engrave them in history books and remember them for generations. One day they will come knocking on our door. That is the right and proper way."

"If everyone prioritizes self-preservation and puts profit first, then our Dongxia will probably be wearing a pig's tail on its head."

It was precisely because of these words that set the tone that Dongxia launched a series of coordinated actions.

It's like saying, "Xiao Chen, do whatever you want, just tell your family what you need!"

Now that the danger has been completely eliminated and the situation is excellent, everyone can attend this regular meeting in a relaxed and happy manner.
