The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 44 - 43: Destruction, Tired

Oh God, are you kidding me?

Even if you want to play, you should change your tactics.

Fang Hao felt so miserable inside.

All his fishing buddies had caught fish, but there was not even a stir on his side.

What kind of world is this?

In life, the most painful thing is to watch others catch fish while you catch nothing.

So, why fish at all?

Is it fun?

Is it joyous?

"Are you all happy?"

Fang Hao said weakly during his live stream.

"I don't have 'Happiness' as my last name, my last name is Shen."

"I'm Xun, as in Xun Wukong."

"My last name is Zhang, as in Liu Bei's Zhang."

"???"

Fang Hao casually asked a question, not expecting to steer the live stream chat into such odd territory; damn, who's asking about your last names?

This group of viewers really each has their own unique talent.

They must have trained at De Yun Society.

Tired of it, not loving it.

"Streamer, don't worry, we won't laugh at you for not catching fish, unless we can't help it... hahaha."

"Huh, don't laugh. Today I've only used one percent of my ability."

Fang Hao wanted to struggle a bit more.

"In a few decades, when the streamer's dead, the only thing still strong will be his mouth."

"Streamer, please show us what 100% of your power looks like."

"No way, I'm afraid it might scare you."

"Besides, we need to protect the environment. What if I catch too many fish at once and disrupt the ecological balance? Do you know why the Yangtze River has a fishing ban? It's to protect the ecosystem."

"Dude, there's no way I can respond to that."

"You've just expanded the scale of the discussion."

"So you have to believe in my ability. Not catching fish is only temporary. It's just that I haven't exerted my full strength yet."

"6666."

"So, when will you use your full strength?"

"Cough, soon."

...

Nervous as he was saying that, Fang Hao was really anxious inside.

He wanted to catch a fish, too.

But it wasn't his fault that the fish weren't biting.

He had recast several times.

Cursed it.

Not even a ripple.

In the past, this would have been impossible; a school of fish would have bitten the bait early on.

"From now on, I really need to check my luck before going fishing."

Fang Hao thought to himself.

He felt it was his own bad luck.

Ever since he caught a corpse, his luck had never been good.

But fortunately, today he hadn't caught any bizarre things.

That was a good thing.

Not far away, old Sun, a fellow fisherman, caught another silver carp.

At Fang Hao's spot, still, there was no action.

After hesitating a moment, Fang Hao decided to change spots.

He reeled in his fishing rod, re-baited, and cast again.

This time he cast his line farther out with a forceful throw.

The pose was pretty cool.

Probably a few meters farther than before.

There was a plop as it hit the water.

The sound of entering the water was pleasant.

Only the bobber remained on the water's surface.

This spot in the river had a more gentle current, generally making it easier to catch fish.

Fang Hao continued to wait.

This change of spots felt different already.

The bobber jerked occasionally.

The bobber's movement meant something, it indicated that fish were trying to take the bait.

Fang Hao watched intently.

His entire demeanor became focused.

This time, he was not going to let this chance slip.

He was determined to catch a fish!

After several attempts by the fish, the bobber quieted down again.

But Fang Hao knew… it was not over yet.

Sure enough, a minute later, the bobber moved again.

Until, the bobber swiftly submerged.

Hooked!

Fang Hao immediately tightened his grip on the fishing rod, this was the moment he had been waiting for!

He had a fish on the line!

Damn, it hadn't been easy.

Fang Hao held onto the fishing line, feeling the weight transmitted through it—it was a bit heavy.

He guessed it weighed about five or six pounds.

Much more than Fang Hao had anticipated.

Not bad.

Originally, Fang Hao had only hoped to catch a fish weighing a little over a pound.

Now, catching a fish that was five to six pounds was definitely great; it exceeded his expectations.

He slowly reeled it in.

No rush.

He hadn't really caught it until he could get the fish up.

If it got away, Fang Hao would be slapping his thighs in frustration.

"What? Is the streamer about to catch a fish?"

Seeing Fang Hao's demeanor, the chat room instantly exploded.

"Impossible, that's definitely not a fish!"

"It's an illusion!"

"I bet it's not a fish, too."

"Knowing the streamer's luck, I'd believe he caught a log rather than a fish."

"Hahaha, do you guys think it might be a body?"

"If it really is a body, then the streamer really made history."

"Mr. Fish, cut the line, cut his line!"

"Jade Emperor, Buddha, God, Allah... please, let it not be a fish."

"Wow, this time they've invoked domestic and foreign gods."

"With so many gods prayed to, one of them has to work."

Fang Hao didn't bother with the livestream anymore. Let them make noise.

His attention was all on the fish.

Once he caught the fish, he'd slap their faces hard!

…

Bit by bit, he reeled in.

This time, it felt like there was some pulling force.

Fang Hao felt it might really be a fish.

Just wasn't sure what kind of fish.

Carp?

Or catfish?

Or maybe some other fish?

As Fang Hao anticipated eagerly, he gradually saw what was surfacing.

Huh?

Something didn't seem right.

Through the surface of the water, Fang Hao found what he caught… didn't quite look like a fish's shape.

Rather, it seemed like a package.

No way?

A wave of frustration instantly went through Fang Hao's mind.

Could his luck be so bad?

Not a fish again?

When he finally saw clearly what it was, Fang Hao's face instantly fell.

Here we go again!

It really was a package, not a fish.

Yes, he hadn't caught a fish again.

Other than a package, there was nothing else.

His mood suddenly roller-coastered from a peak to a deep valley.

What kind of luck was this, that he caught another weird thing.

It was a package.

Once he fished the thing out, he could see what was lying in front of him.

His hook was caught on the package.

Only a little bit of bait was left on his hook, which definitely had been eaten by a fish earlier.

He was quite sure of this.

But unexpectedly, he hadn't caught the fish and had caught something strange instead.

Fang Hao was truly speechless.

So tired.

"Hahahaha, really didn't catch one?"

"Laughing to death, caught another weird thing."

"This time he caught a package."

"What could be inside the package?"

"Could it be some treasure?"

"Hahaha, no matter what treasure it is, let me laugh for a few minutes."

The chat room was about to explode.

A crowd started flooding the comments and the chat.

Seeing Fang Hao not catching a fish again, they were happier than if it were New Year.

Just as they speculated, no fish was caught.

They had never seen a fisherman who truly couldn't catch anything but strange things.
