The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Don’t even talk about fishing something that weighs a few dozen pounds or even a hundred pounds, even if it’s ten times heavier, fishing something weighing dozens of tons is not a problem at all.

Upon Xiao Pang’s reminder, Fang Hao also quickly reacted.

At the other end of the fishing rod, the object caught seemed rather heavy.

When Fang Hao grasped the fishing rod, he instantly felt the tip dip slightly, a great weight transmitted up the rod, bending it into an arc.

Hm?

What’s this?

Fang Hao quickly deduced that the catch this time was definitely not a fish.

If it were a fish, it wouldn’t feel like this.

Then what could it be?

This piqued Fang Hao’s curiosity.

He hadn’t exerted much strength yet, temporarily unclear about what he had caught.

As for how heavy it actually was, he was also unsure.

He hadn’t yet pulled the object up.

The thing was still submerged at the bottom of the water.

It was merely caught by the fish hook, barely holding on.

But just from the weight alone, it felt somewhat heavy.

What lay beneath might not be something simple.

Perhaps it could be some huge object.

No matter what it was, Fang Hao was determined to reel it in for a look.

Unless it was truly impossible to haul up, then there would be nothing he could do.

Fang Hao tried to pull it with strength, but it didn’t budge.

The thing at the bottom was somewhat heavy.

Even with the force Fang Hao had just exerted, he couldn’t move it at all.

Fang Hao’s efforts also drew the attention of a crowd.

"Eh? Did the host snag something?"

"It seems to be really heavy."

"What could it be?"

Everyone watched curiously, their interest piqued.

Whatever rare thing had been caught, no one knew what it could be.

Maybe it’s valuable?

Or perhaps some other worthless thing.

Or it could be... snagged on the bottom.

All of these were possible scenarios.

Fang Hao didn’t know yet, as he kept pulling with increasing force.

Right now, his strength, without the aid of any powers or external forces, was at ten thousand pounds.

But even with such tremendous strength, he couldn’t move the object below.

A slight shock struck Fang Hao’s heart.

Is it that heavy?

Could it possibly be another sunken ship?

In Fang Hao’s mind, things that were this heavy were generally sunken ships.

"What kind of sunken ship could this be?"

"Is it an ancient vessel? Or one from our recent history?"

The audience became curious.

Different ships held different values of cargo.

For example, the Great Ming Treasure Ship caught last time was clearly of high value.

Whereas other previously caught ships didn’t hold as much value.

If it was something like the Dingyuan Ship, setting aside its historical significance, there wouldn’t be much of value inside.

This is because the Dingyuan Ship’s value lies in its historical significance.

Due to their naval battle history.

As for treasures on board, they wouldn’t be there.

After all, this was not a merchant vessel, but a battleship; their purposes differed, carrying no antiques or treasures, only ammunition.

Everyone was curious about what Fang Hao had caught this time.

People in the live stream were all watching Fang Hao fishing this object.

On the scene, those on the boat also noticed what Fang Hao had caught.

As someone who had yet to catch a fish up to that point, everyone was keen on Fang Hao.

They all wanted to see what Fang Hao had caught this time.

If it was something good, then that would be awesome.

Others couldn’t tell, but Fang Hao was now pulling very hard on the object he had just caught. They couldn’t discern with their eyes how heavy it really was.

Unsure of what kind of mysterious object it was.

Fang Hao felt like he was about to employ every trick he had, yet he still couldn’t pull the object.

Gosh.

Even Fang Hao himself was a bit astonished.

What on earth had he caught this time?

Why was it so heavy?

"Could it not be a shipwreck?"

Fang Hao also started to doubt that what he had fished up this time wasn’t a shipwreck.

He had already exerted the strength of ten thousand jin, but still couldn’t move it.

Fortunately, the ship he was on this time was larger, so for the moment it wouldn’t be affected by whatever Fang Hao was fishing.

Fang Hao decided to try using the Golden Buff to enhance his strength.

As soon as he used it, his strength surged immensely.

Suddenly, his strength doubled.

With a normal strength of twenty thousand jin, he could fish up almost anything.

But the object on the other end remained utterly immovable.

"What on earth could this be?"

Fang Hao had no clue.

Thirty thousand jin!

Fang Hao continued to increase his strength.

Right now, his strength wasn’t something ordinary people could compare with.

The continuously increasing strength, however, left Fang Hao helpless regarding the object below.

He had no idea how heavy the object below was, to the extent that nearly thirty thousand jin wasn’t enough to pull it up.

Then he had no choice but to further increase the effort.

He quickly reached fifty thousand jin of strength...

Yet the object below still hadn’t moved.

Hey, this is getting interesting.

It was the first time he had fished up something so heavy.

"The streamer is taking a bit longer this time."

"Could it be he’s hooked something good?"

One after another, they craned their necks, eager to discover the answer sooner.

The longer the wait, the more curious everyone became, and the more they wanted to know what it was.

They clearly understood this principle.

The longer it dragged out, the better the object he might have fished up could be.

Perhaps this object below was really something valuable.

Since fifty thousand jin wasn’t enough to pull it, then let’s try a hundred thousand jin, which is ten tons of strength.

Until... Fang Hao pushed his strength to fifty tons!

After exerting nearly fifty tons of strength, the object below hadn’t been raised, but the ship they were standing on started to rock.

It seemed that the object below was just too heavy to be supported.

Otherwise, their own ship might very well end up being capsized into the water.

Fang Hao could only temporarily stop what he was doing.

Fang Hao had to see for himself what was below if he wanted to figure it out.

Or rather... Fang Hao had a miniature underwater drone with him, which could dive in his place.

This meant he wouldn’t have to go underwater himself, just to know what was lying below. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Moreover, this underwater drone could offer a clearer view.

And it wouldn’t tire him out.

Qiao Mei, along with others, watched Fang Hao with astonishment.

The experience of watching Fang Hao fish up something from up close was simply unlike any other.

The experience of watching it on video versus witnessing it live was completely different.

Just like attending a concert, listening live on site versus online provides two completely different feelings.

Fang Hao took the opportunity to rest, but in reality, he went to get the underwater drone.

"What’s this?"

Everyone watched curiously as Fang Hao took something out.

They all thought it was a toy prepared by Fang Hao, but then they thought it wasn’t right, why would the streamer buy a toy for no reason.

Obviously, this was a piece of equipment.

"This is an underwater drone."

Fang Hao introduced it very aptly.

"With this, we don’t have to dive into the sea ourselves. It can dive down to the deep ocean floor on our behalf."

"And my drone is a bit more advanced, capable of descending to deeper ocean floors, easily capable of going down a kilometer deep without any issue at all."

After Fang Hao showed off his device to everyone, it elicited exclamations from many.

"Wow, is it really that awesome?"

"How much does the streamer’s drone cost? Where can I buy one?"

"What if I go to Pinduoduo to get one?"

"Getting one from Pinduoduo is fine, but don’t expect too much from it."

"What you get from Pinduoduo, if you can even dive a few meters deep with it, that would be pretty good."

The online audience discussed the underwater drone that Fang Hao had taken out.

There was no denying that the performance of this drone blew a lot of other things out of the water.

"Streamer, please bring on the small yellow cart."

"Yeah, if it’s just a few thousand yuan, I think I might also buy one to play around."

Everyone was interested in the device in Fang Hao’s hands, all thinking of buying one for themselves.
