The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 41 - 40 This, Too Hasty!

The kid already caught a fish!

He even used a makeshift fishing rod made from bamboo on the spot, and his float was made of reeds.

Yet here I am, using a specially made top-grade fishing rod…

Talk about frustrating.

It felt like he was being stabbed in the heart with a thousand needles, it hurt so much that he even began to question his life choices.

What have I been doing all these days?

And in the end, am I even worse off than a kid?

Looking at the bent bamboo rod, Fang Hao saw Brother Zhang, another angler, straining to pull the fishing line for the boy.

It was clear they had caught a fish.

From the looks of it, this wasn't a small fish; it probably weighed several pounds.

They really landed a catch.

Turning to look at his own still float, Fang Hao felt deeply wounded.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

A triple hit, completely baffled.

…

"Wow, I caught a fish."

"Daddy, keep going!"

"Grab the fish, grab the fish."

The little boy danced excitedly around.

It was his first time fishing, and he was extremely happy.

Brother Zhang was carefully handling the bamboo-made fishing rod, cautious of the fish cutting the line and whether the bamboo could handle the weight.

Firstly, he followed the fish, letting it swim in the water for a while, then slowly started reeling it in.

As it got closer to the shore, he used a net to scoop it up.

It was a grass carp weighing over two pounds that was caught.

…

"This fish must weigh two or three pounds, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, they really did catch a fish."

"To catch such a big fish on his first attempt is impressive already."

"Is this what they call a beginner's luck package?"

"Streamer, what do you think about this?"

"A kid has caught a fish, can you do it, streamer?"

"…"

At this time, Fang Hao's live streaming room was extraordinarily lively.

Another round of teasing.

"Hahaha, the streamer is feeling awkward now."

"Man, why don't we just pack up and go home? Let's stop fishing."

"Bro, don't tell anyone we're fishing streamers. Just say we're outdoor streamers."

The people in the livestream were all laughing merrily, happier than anyone else.

They enjoyed seeing Fang Hao struggle without catching fish.

It was quite entertaining.

"Streamer, why don't we try to fish up a corpse to liven things up?"

"We might not be good at fishing, but corpse fishing is our specialty; after all, we're corpse-fishing streamers."

"666666."

The viewers were all more ruthless than the last, always touching the sore spots.

Fang Hao rolled his eyes at their comments.

"Elder Sun, Little Fang, look at the fish my son caught."

"Pretty good, huh?"

At this time, Brother Zhang was holding the grass carp, showing it to Fang Hao and the others.

"Quite impressive indeed."

"Brother Zhang, it looks like your son is quite talented; catching such a big grass carp on his first try."

"He's quite lucky."

The two replied courteously.

"Heh heh, this kid is luckier than I was; my first catch was just a little strip."

"How's your day been?"

Hearing their compliments, Brother Zhang felt pretty good and casually threw out the question.

But this question stung a bit.

Fang Hao and another fisher named Elder Sun hadn't caught any fish yet.

"Uh... This spot is a bit warm, I'm going to change places."

Lao Sun cleverly changed the subject and also took the opportunity to move to a new fishing spot.

"Ha, Lao Sun, it's a bit cooler over here, and there's even a slight breeze. Why don't you come over here?"

Fang Hao simply pretended he didn't hear the latter part of the other person's question.

The two men's reactions didn't bother their fishing buddy Brother Zhang, whose mood was quite good as his son had caught a fish.

"Daddy, fish." The little boy also wanted to play with the fish he had caught.

"Come on, son, hold it steady, daddy will take a picture."

Fishing buddy Brother Zhang let the little boy hold the fish while he took out his phone and snapped a photo.

The little boy hugged the fish in a comical way, but his joy was evident on his face.

After taking the photo, Fishing buddy Brother Zhang put the fish into the fish keeper.

Then he uploaded the picture to the fishing group chat.

"Look, this is the first fish my son has caught."

Instantly, the group chat was swarmed by fellow anglers watching.

A crowd of people started praising him, which greatly satisfied Brother Zhang's heart.

Until one angler asked in the chat, "Brother Zhang, what about you?"

Me?

Fishing buddy Brother Zhang's smile gradually stiffened.

He also slowly realized that he hadn't caught any fish himself.

This was sloppy.

...

"No more, the streamer is too funny."

"The streamer, that topic change was pretty clunky, huh?"

"How is the streamer supposed to answer this question? He hasn't caught a single fish. He can't just say he hasn't caught anything, right?"

"Pig heart in sand ginger."

"The streamer has just suffered a double blow."

"The streamer just wants to say he's really hurt."

"I believe in you, streamer. You definitely won't catch a single fish today."

"Streamer: ???"

The viewers continued to tease.

This annoyed Fang Hao.

Why did it feel like the hundreds of thousands of viewers in this live stream were all haters?

Damn, I can't let these viewers get too smug.

"You little trolls, just wait!"

Fang Hao didn't believe it.

With such great equipment and a high-quality fishing rod, he couldn't be outperformed by a kid.

He didn't believe that he couldn't catch any fish today.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the youth when poor!"

"The power of fish, ninth level!"

Fang Hao was holding back a lot of frustration.

The kids caught fish and it spurred him.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he ended up an air force today, catching nothing, and be teased by these little trolls in the live stream for days?

No way!

Absolutely not.

Today he had to catch fish to slap them hard in the face.

The more you don't believe I can catch fish, the more I have to catch one to prove myself.

The only consolation was that he wasn't the only one who hadn't caught any fish today; his colleague Lao Sun hadn't caught any either.

Otherwise, being the only one would be too awkward.

Phew…

He adjusted his own state.

Fang Hao's concentration increased, and he became more focused on fishing.

Additionally, he re-baited the area, more thoroughly than he had ever fished before.

Now he just waited for the fish to bite.

He couldn't believe his luck could be that bad!

"The streamer seems to be getting serious."

"A serious man, kind of handsome."

"Kind of nervous, the streamer might actually catch a fish?"

"Stay calm, we have to believe in the streamer's luck."

"I'd rather believe the streamer will catch something else than believe he can catch a fish!"

A crowd of viewers watched as Fang Hao seriously fished.

[Ding…]

Suddenly, a voice rang in Fang Hao's mind.
