The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 45 - 44: Is the System Messing With Me?
"He really didn't catch any fish."
"That luck is off the charts."
"This streamer is really just like the legends say, except for not catching fish, he can catch anything else."
The viewers who joined later were all staring in astonishment.
They had thought it was just a joke, just banter, but it turned out to be true.
The persona of Fang Hao being unable to catch fish had been established in their eyes.
As for the things he did catch, no one found it odd.
He'd caught corpses before, more than one, what could be more absurd than that? Now it's just a package, nothing shocking.
"If I hadn't been watching from the start, I'd suspect there's someone diving under the water attaching things."
"Glug... it's me... glug..."
"Haha, brother under the water, you still good? Next time please attach a doll for me, the big honey model, silicone, thanks."
"I want a 'Sensei Miura' (shy)."
"Then I want a 'Sensei Hashimoto'."
"Ying ying ying, can I get an Ultrawoman then?"
"6666, brother, your taste is a bit special, huh."
A group of seasoned viewers poured out, creating another wave of atmosphere.
One with a heavier taste than the other.
"Right, what do you guys think is in the package?"
As they spoke, everyone's attention turned to the package Fang Hao had pulled up.
Now, what they wanted to know more was what this package contained.
The package wasn't large, about half the size of a regular backpack.
From the shape, it didn't seem there would be many items inside.
"Could it be clothes?"
"It seems like that's possible."
Seeing the size of the package, they felt it could indeed contain clothes.
The chances were quite high.
"I think, maybe there are antiques inside. Look at this package, it's been around for a while, there might really be antiques in there."
"I bet there's definitely nothing good inside, maybe just a bunch of junk."
"I think it's..."
Everyone had their own speculations.
"Do you think... could it possibly be an infant inside?"
Suddenly, one comment caught everyone's attention.
"Holy shit!"
"Dude, don't scare me."
"If it's an infant, that would be terrifying."
"It couldn't be possible, could it?"

Though everyone had been teasing Fang Hao before, suggesting he catch another corpse.
But that was just joking, not serious.
Of course, they didn't really want him to catch a corpse.
That was certainly not a good thing.
"Ptui ptui ptui, it can't be."
"Mommy, I'm scared to watch."
"Guys, I'm going to check out the dancing beauty's live stream next door for a bit, let me know when you find out what's in the package."
"Wait for me, brother, I'll go with you."
In just that moment, the viewers in Fang Hao's live stream suddenly dropped.
Although the drop wasn't large, it was noticeably visible.
"What's going on? Why did the viewership suddenly drop by almost eighty thousand?"
Su Baige, who was monitoring the data backstage, was also surprised at what was happening in Fang Hao's stream, seeing the minor fluctuations that suddenly resulted in such a loss of viewers.
If it was just a slow slide, that was nothing.
It might be that some people didn't like the live stream and left.
But such a sudden drop indicated a problem.
"It seems to be because this streamer caught something else again."
"Some people speculate that the caught item might contain an infant corpse."
Hu Ya's colleague informed Su Baige of the situation.
"Uh..."
Just as she was about to check out Fang Hao's stream, she suddenly stopped herself.
She didn't dare to click in.
What if the moment she clicked in, she saw the corpse of an infant? She probably wouldn't be able to sleep well for the rest of the week.
"This shouldn't be very likely..."
Yet as she uttered these words, she wasn't very confident.
After all, the guy had a nickname, he was called the Corpse-fishing streamer.
He'd caught two corpses before, so catching another seemed quite logical.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, unable to restrain her curiosity, and decided to look.
She clicked into Fang Hao's live stream.
...
Fang Hao stared blankly at the grey package in front of him.
It might have been some years old, covered with a layer of silt and grime.
He felt numb all over.
He didn't catch a fish again.
Who knew what sort of bizarre thing he had caught this time.
Fang Hao didn't know where the problem lay.
Was it his fishing rod?
Or was he just that unlucky?
Originally, he thought he just didn't get along with Baisa Reservoir, which was why he couldn't catch anything.
But after changing locations, the situation remained the same.
That indicated it wasn't the location's fault.
If it wasn't the location, then it had something to do with the fishing rod in his hands.
And this rod was an item rewarded by the system.
The item was good, but god forbid the system tinkered with it to mess with him.
"Could the system be screwing with me?"
Fang Hao decided that next time he went fishing, he'd switch to a different rod.
He would eliminate external factors first, then see if it was just his bad luck.
He'd been too unlucky lately.
Not only did he fail to catch fish, but he always caught all sorts of junk.
He just wanted to catch a fish, why was it so hard?
He didn't know what might be inside this grey package he caught this time.
"An infant corpse?"
When Fang Hao saw the comments from his viewers, his face immediately turned pale.
"Dammit, nobody's going to think you're mute if you keep quiet."
"There's absolutely no way there's another corpse in here!"
He said that, but Fang Hao was still a bit nervous.
The size of the package, it indeed could fit an infant corpse.
No, that couldn't be.
Fang Hao exhaled lightly, feeling he shouldn't scare himself.
He really didn't want to catch another corpse.
Otherwise, the nickname 'Corpse-fishing streamer' might stick with him for life.
Fang Hao definitely didn't want that to happen.
Steadying his nerves, Fang Hao reached out and grasped the package.
He began to untie the knots on the outside.
Only by undoing these knots could he see what was inside.
A crowd of viewers was also eagerly anticipating the contents, all waiting.
The atmosphere was tense and thrilling.
But some viewers, those who were faint-hearted, were covering their eyes or had already left the stream, waiting for the outcome.
"Eh? It's clothes?"
As Fang Hao undid the knots on the package, he saw the items inside, which were clothes.
They looked like very old hemp garments.
"Eh, wait."
Because when Fang Hao touched the clothes, he felt something hard inside, like a wooden box.
