The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 86 - 85 I’m not one to hold a grudge...
Dragon Lake covers a vast area, with the lake itself spanning nearly a hundred square kilometers.
It's known as the emerald nestled within the desert oasis along the Tropic of Cancer.
The lake was named for its shape, resembling a mighty dragon soaring into the sky.
Surrounded by mountains and water, with green hills and crystal-clear blue waters.
The local county is in the process of branding Dragon Lake as a destination for water sports, leisure vacations, and business conferences.
They are developing various leisure activities here.
Fishing, in particular, is a very popular activity at this location.
The environment here is excellent for fishing, and having a field picnic or a barbecue is truly a treat.
Lovely mountains, beautiful waters.
A great environment indeed.
This time, Fang Hao and his friends planned to fish and have a barbecue party at the same time.
"Streamer."
"Hao Bro."
Fang Hao also met with his online friends.
The group was very excited.

"I can finally meet the streamer in person."
"I didn't expect the host to be even more handsome than in the videos!"
"I can finally see the streamer's charm for myself."
"I'm Liang Someone."
"I'm Milky Pink Powder."
"I'm Fish Kisses Abalone."
"I'm White Tea Pure Enjoyment."
"..."
Everyone made quick self-introductions, first giving their online IDs, followed by their real names.
After the introductions, they all matched the real faces to the online IDs, knowing who was who.
They were all active users in the live stream room, relatively young and quite familiar with each other.
Even more so since Xiao Pang Chen Sheng created a fan group for Fang Hao, where they chatted more frequently.
They were already familiar with each other online.
"Holy cow, so you're Milky Pink Powder bro."
"Next time you go for a foot bath, you've got to call me, can't go alone anymore."
The offline fishing meetup is actually a gathering for online buddies.
After the self-introductions, people started to warm up to each other.
Especially with the naturally outgoing Xiao Pang Chen Sheng around, it was easy to liven up the atmosphere.
They first took a group photo with Fang Hao and posted it in the fan group.
It was only today that Fang Hao found out he had a fan group.
And the membership was not small by any means.
Xiao Pang Chen Sheng had created three fan groups, each nearing two thousand members.
Excluding some alt accounts and duplicates, combining the three groups, there were probably around five thousand genuine fans.
That was some serious popularity.
But Fang Hao hadn't joined any of the groups yet.
As soon as the group photos with Fang Hao were posted, it immediately triggered envy among many.
"Ahhh, I really want to go too."
"Why am I not in Bin Hai."
"So jealous."
"Is it too late to buy a ticket to Bin Hai now?"
"..."
The group instantly became bustling with activity.
Many lurking members started commenting, one after another, all very excited.
The messages were flooding in so fast that they were quickly disappearing, overtaken by newer messages.
After meeting up, people began to unload stuff from the cars.
Apart from their fishing gear, they also brought along barbecue supplies.
Near Dragon Lake there's a place that rents out barbecue grills, Fang Hao went over to rent a grill for barbecuing, and then rented a pot as well.
They definitely wouldn't just fish for a little while.
They were certainly planning to have something to eat later.
Before coming, he had also bought all the food.
It was certainly enough for them to eat.
Everything was set up, placed at the lakeside barbecue area.
This way, later they could barbecue while fishing.
Such a leisurely life, no wonder the fans in the group were so excited.
After setting up the food, they then took their fishing gear to find their own spots.
"I've got a good spot here, hehe, I should catch some fish today."
"Perfect, if we catch fish today, we can cook some and have a whole fish feast!"
"I want grilled fish!"
They hadn't even started fishing yet, and everyone was already planning how to cook the fish they would catch.
Including different ways to prepare the fish.
Only one water friend had a strange look on their face and said, "What if we don't catch any fish..."
"Don't worry, we're not live streamers."
"Hehe, I can't speak for the live streamer, but with so many of us, we're bound to catch some fish."
When the topic of not catching any fish came up, everyone laughed.
They also teased Fang Hao about his character setting of not being able to catch any fish.
This left Fang Hao somewhat speechless. Could he be blamed for not catching fish?
"???"
What do you mean? I haven't even started fishing yet and you guys are already teasing me?
Shoot!
These little trolls, caught you, didn't I?
Usually, these few people must be the ones stirring things up in the live streaming room.
Just you wait!
Fang Hao's gaze shifted, planning to cook them some 'dark cuisine' later to show them a good time.
He's not one to hold a grudge, just tends to settle scores on the spot.
When everyone saw the sudden smile on Fang Hao's face, they felt a chill at the back of their heads... as if something was not quite right, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
"Don't worry, today I'll catch more fish than all of you!"
"Eh? Does the live streamer feel that confident?" Someone was somewhat surprised.
But many more people laughed even harder.
"See, it looks steady today."
"The live streamer is so confident, usually, that means he won't catch any fish."
"Hehe, speaking of which, the live streamer didn't catch any fish the last time he went to the fish pond. Do you guys think he'll catch any today?"
Everyone pointed out Fang Hao's most heart-wrenching moments.
"Actually, the live streamer did catch some last time, it's just that the fish got away later." Xiao Pang, Chen Sheng, spoke up for Fang Hao.
However, as Chen Sheng spoke, everyone's attention turned to him.
"Eh, Abs bro, the what-something tomb discovered in your fish pond, how's that going now?"
Everyone present became curious.
Though they had seen some information online before, after all, much of it online is exaggerated or nonsense; it's unlikely everything would be revealed.
"Abs bro, was your fish pond expropriated?"
Everyone's curiosity was kindled.
They all wanted to know about the tomb and the situation with his family.
Being the most gossipy, they were also keen to know how much compensation they could get.
Since it was a private fish pond, if there was to be excavation of an ancient tomb, it would undoubtedly be expropriated.
And looking at the excavation plan, it's certain that a historical tomb site would be established here, turning it into a heritage site, so there's no continuation of fish farming.
The compensation would only be higher.
"I'm not too clear, these matters are handled by my parents, but it should be several million."
Xiao Pang, Chen Sheng, really didn't care much; his family was in the breeding business, with a breeding farm aside from this fish pond, and an annual income of a million yuan or more—they weren't short of money.
But for others, this was indeed a large sum of money.
