Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Xu Zhiyuan sent his location, and Xu Zhiyi checked the navigation. It was 9 kilometers away from his location as the crow flies, and about 12 kilometers by bike, which would take 45 minutes.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go and take a look, Xu Zhiyuan sent him another message, asking him to meet at the entrance of Changguangxi Park at 11 p.m. the next night.

Xu Zhiyi agreed without hesitation this time.

He lost interest in searching for the cleaner fish and rode his bike home early to rest.

The next day.

Xu Zhiyi woke up promptly at five o'clock in the morning.

As usual, he first practiced the "Hun Yuan Breathing Technique" once, and then went to the park in high spirits to collect dew, and went for a run to exercise his body.

While eating breakfast, he opened his phone to search for information about alligator gar.

This search actually yielded quite a few results.

This large carnivorous fish, native to North America, has existed on Earth for over 100 million years, making it a true "living fossil."

What's more troublesome is its habits.

Alligator gars are almost entirely nocturnal, spending most of their daytime activities in the deep water. They will burrow into the mud or dense vegetation at the slightest disturbance, making them extremely difficult to spot.

This creature is ferocious by nature and has an extremely strong survival ability. It eats almost anything, including but not limited to various fish, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, water birds, and small mammals...

Most importantly, their eggs are highly poisonous. If a person accidentally ingests them, they may experience vomiting and diarrhea, or even death!

In recent years, alligator gars have been spotted in waters across China, and there have even been incidents of them biting children and attacking pet dogs. Each discovery has caused quite a stir.

In many places, a great deal of manpower and resources are used to catch alligator gar, with tools such as sirens, fishing nets, spearguns, and hooks being used. However, this fish is extremely cunning and will dive to the bottom of the water to hide at the slightest disturbance.

They also have thick, hard scales and a mouthful of sharp teeth, so ordinary fishing nets can't trap them at all; instead, they'll just make a big hole in them.

The most typical example is the alligator gar incident in Ruzhou a few years ago.

In order to catch alligator gar in the park's artificial lake, two large water pumps worked continuously for 45 days, pumping out 300,000 cubic meters of water, almost completely draining the entire artificial lake, and finally catching two alligator gar, one male and one female.

One is about 90 centimeters long and weighs 25 kilograms, while the other is about 70 centimeters long and weighs 18 kilograms.

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but frown slightly.

The one in last night's video was at least a meter long!

That's much bigger than the alligator gar from Ruzhou!

Using only a harpoon would probably be too difficult.

That thing has thick skin and tough flesh; an ordinary slingshot and harpoon probably couldn't penetrate its scales.

Fortunately, he had a spare 1.2mm thick flat rubber band with a tensile strength of about 40 to 45 pounds, which is already a violent setup. Most adults would find it difficult to pull it to its full strength easily.

Hopefully, this rubber band will work.

Xu Zhiyi pondered in her heart, feeling that she still needed to make two preparations.

He then opened JD.com and compared the specifications of the large harpoon gun and the composite bow.

If harpoons don't work, then you'll have to use a large harpoon or a composite bow.

Although he had never played with either of these things, he figured that with his high [Spirit] stat of 9, he could easily improve his accuracy with a little practice.

Let's keep this as a backup plan for now.

……

Another day was spent rushing through practicing and explaining problems.

After evening self-study, Xu Zhiyi left the school gate and rode her bicycle directly to the nearest subway station. She took subway line 1 towards Nanfangquan and arrived at Changguangxi Station in about twenty minutes.

After exiting the subway station, he walked for another five minutes and saw the gate of Changguangxi Wetland Park.

It was almost eleven o'clock.

The park had been closed for a long time.

Xu Zhiyi didn't see Xu Zhiyuan at the gate, but she did see a large group of people gathered there, more than twenty people in total. They were a huge crowd, making a lot of noise, and some of them had accents from other places. She couldn't tell what they were saying.

Xu Zhiyi didn't rush over; instead, she sent a message to Xu Zhiyuan first.

Soon, Xu Zhiyuan emerged from the back of the crowd, waving at him, "Over here!"

Xu Zhiyi then walked over and saw Xu Zhiyuan wearing a windbreaker and carrying a bulging backpack. Next to him stood a tall, thin boy wearing glasses, who looked like a student as well.

"This is my friend Li Hao, the one who filmed the video last night. This is the amazing person I told you about who shot the cleaner, the one with over 50 followers on Douyin."

Xu Zhiyuan introduced the two.

Xu Zhiyi nodded, which was considered a greeting.

He then asked with some curiosity, "What are those people at the door doing?"

Xu Zhiyuan gestured with his lip towards Li Hao beside him.

"This guy posted the video online today, and soon after, officials contacted him. Then in the afternoon, people from the fishery administration, the police station, the urban management, and the fire department came."

They had already used sonar to scout the area by evening and confirmed that the alligator gar was indeed there, and quite large, possibly exceeding 1.2 meters in length. They were now discussing how to capture it.

"Have you reached a conclusion?"

"No."

Xu Zhiyuan said speechlessly, "They don't understand any of this. They come up here and say they want to use an electric fence. I don't know if alligator gar can be electrocuted, but a lot of fish and shrimp in this wetland will definitely be electrocuted."

Li Hao glanced at the officials not far away and lowered his voice, saying, "I just heard a fisheries official say that they plan to try using nets first, and if that doesn't work, they might apply to use guns."

"With a gun?" Xu Zhiyi was taken aback.

"Yes, air rifles or small-caliber rifles, for shooting on the water. However, the application process is very complicated, and alligator gars only come out at night, so visibility is poor at night, and it's in the water, making shooting quite difficult."

They're having a real headache right now.

Xu Zhiyi didn't say anything.

He's having a real headache right now.

Well known.

The higher the difficulty of the task, the richer the reward.

When he saw the mission rewards, he realized that the mission must be very difficult, but he didn't expect that he would have to compete with the official staff!

If the official personnel kill the alligator gar first, wouldn't his mission be ruined?

"Oh, right."

At this moment, Xu Zhiyuan seemed to remember something and looked at Xu Zhiyi, saying, "Because our majors are related, we have now been recruited. We will participate in the entire operation to capture alligator gar."

If you have time, you can come with us.

Li Hao nodded and said, "Old Xu told me you were very accurate with your harpoons when shooting plecos. I'll mention it to them later and let you try shooting a few times with your harpoons."

Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

In that case, wouldn't he be essentially teaming up with the officials?

If the alligator gar is brought up by the authorities, and he voluntarily participates in its harmless disposal, wouldn't he be able to easily complete the task?
