"Congratulations to the host for successfully using the Skill Level Up Coupon. Basic Sharing has been upgraded to Intermediate Sharing."
[Intermediate Sharing, in addition to allowing the host to share the five senses of animals, also allows the host to designate one animal to share part of its physical strength or power for a short period. This can only be used once per natural day, for three minutes each time.]
After reading the upgraded skill information, Yang Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
He had always fantasized about sharing the animals' innate abilities once the system reached level 3.
He never expected that the upgrade of Basic Sharing to Intermediate Sharing would bring him such a pleasant surprise.
Even though it only allowed sharing physical strength and power, if used properly, it would be no less than sharing innate abilities.
It was the restriction that made Yang Lin unable to resist complaining.
"Once a day, for three minutes? Why is it so short? Is the system looking down on me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice sounded again.
"If the host does not want this ability, a reset opportunity can be provided."
"Yes, yes, I'll take this one. Nothing else seems particularly useful."
It was a joke, Yang Lin wouldn't risk a one-in-several chance.
What if he gambled for underwater breathing? Would he have to guest star as Aquaman in the sea from now on?
Just as he finished upgrading his skills, the aquatic animals that had just arrived at the park were also being transported to the artificial lake by the workers.
As the aquariums were opened, the more than six hundred koi were the first to be released into the lake.
As the colorful koi entered the lake, a touch of vitality immediately appeared in the entire artificial lake.
Especially when the koi swam around in the lake.
Seeing this scene, the tourists' eyes were immediately drawn to these koi.
But as they watched, they noticed something was amiss.
"Mom, that big fat fish over there seems to be swimming on its back, it's so funny."
"It really does seem so, can fish swim on their backs?"
"I think there's a type of catfish called a 'back-swimming catfish' that swims on its back, but these are koi, how can they swim on their backs?"
"Then how do you explain the one in the lake?"
"Uh... let's just say, is the one in the lake about to kick the bucket? When I was a kid and the goldfish I kept swam on its back, it would die within two hours."
"No need to doubt, that fat koi is probably just overwhelmed by suddenly changing its living environment, which is why it's dying."
"So the question is, is it still useful to make a wish to a dying koi?"
...
The chatter of the crowd quickly caught Yang Lin's attention.
When he saw the koi with its belly facing up, his expression immediately changed.
"No way, one died this quickly? And it's the biggest and most expensive one."
"No, no, you can't die."
Thinking this, Yang Lin immediately prepared to jump into the water to retrieve it.
But before he could enter the water, he immediately realized that he might not need to go in to save it.
"Let's see what talents it has first."
As he spoke, Yang Lin clicked on the talent panel of the fat koi.
[Delicious (Green Talent) Requires 1 Talent Point to activate]
Seeing this first talent, Yang Lin couldn't hold back his laughter.
"What kind of devil's talent is this? Other animals' talents are used when they are alive, but this talent only works after death."
Fortunately, the talents after this unconventional one were relatively normal, until he saw the koi's last talent.
[Good Fortune (Mysterious Talent) Requires 1 Talent Point to activate. This talent is forcibly bestowed by humans. It exists if you believe, and not if you don't.]
"???" What kind of talent is this?"
In an instant, Yang Lin's expression became playful.
Now, including this one, he had encountered three talents that were similar to the mysterious side.
And they were all more or less related to human activities.
"Never mind, I won't think about it anymore. It's you."
Looking at the fat koi that was already blowing bubbles, Yang Lin directly activated its Good Fortune talent.
The next second, a light that the tourists couldn't see lit up on the fat koi.
When the light faded, the fat koi, which had been swimming on its back, directly flipped over.
In less than a second, it began to swim freely in the lake as if it were a normal fish.
Seeing this, the tourists were once again astonished.
"Strange, wasn't this fish about to die just now? Why is it suddenly alive again?"
"It's just a dying hồi quang phản chiếu (moment of clarity before death), it might die again later."
"I think it was faking its death."
"It must be because I just wished it to make me rich next year, and it felt like it couldn't achieve it, so it died."
...
Before everyone could figure out why the koi had suddenly come back to life, a miraculous scene unfolded in the artificial lake.
Under the gaze of countless tourists, the koi, which had previously swum to various corners of the artificial lake, suddenly seemed to be summoned and converged around the fat koi.
Wherever the fat koi swam, the other koi would follow.
Such a rare sight immediately attracted more tourists.
And just as the number of tourists continued to grow, the koi suddenly formed a strange pattern.
At first, the tourists didn't quite understand what this pattern meant.
Until a tourist standing directly in front of the koi group suddenly shouted:
"I see it, they've combined to form a 'Fu' character!"
As soon as he spoke, other tourists immediately moved to his position.
Indeed, the black patterns on the backs of the koi, when viewed together, looked more and more like the character 'Fu' (福, meaning fortune).
If this were just a coincidence, then the next performance of this group of koi made everyone feel the wonder of nature.
After forming the 'Fu' character, the koi would occasionally change into other patterns, sometimes resembling the traditional character for 'Fa' (发, meaning prosperity), and sometimes like a large 'Shou' (寿, meaning longevity) character.
After the shock, the tourists immediately began to make their own wishes to this group of koi.
"Great Koi, I hope to successfully get a job next year."
"Koi, koi, I hope you can bless me with good grades in the college entrance examination next year, please, please."
"Koi, koi, I hope to be successfully admitted to my dream graduate school next year."
"Koi immortal, I want to pass the civil service exam next year. If I pass, please blow bubbles."
"Koi, koi, tonight I bought single malt and French wine, I really hope to win, I've bet my entire fortune."
...
Soon, these tourists made all sorts of wishes to the fat koi in the lake.
Even though they knew that this was at best a beautiful wish, and most likely wouldn't come true, what if it did?
As everyone was earnestly praying, Yang Lin, standing nearby, also silently made a wish.
"Koi, koi, give me a large sum of money. If you agree, swim twice; if you disagree, fly up."
The next second after his wish was made, the fat koi, weighing fifty to sixty pounds, leaped out of the lake.
Instantly, the tourists burst into cheers.
To comment and pray, I wish all readers success in all endeavors and fulfillment of all desires.
