The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Glad it's not a diver.

Fang Hao guessed by feel.

The fish he caught this time, probably weighed around seven to eight jin.

The pull was still pretty strong.

And there was a struggle, this is a living creature.

This time, it should be a real fish.

Judging by the feel, he believed he shouldn't be mistaken.

This time he was definitely going to catch a fish.

His nerves were like a bride on her first ride in the bridal sedan; exceptionally tense.

It was a real fish this time; how could he not be excited?

His performance startled everyone in the live stream.

Especially when they saw the joyful smile on Fang Hao's face, they were even more shocked.

"Damn, is the streamer serious this time?"

"Could it actually be a fish?"

"Ah, no way."

"Please don't actually catch a fish!"

"If he catches a fish, I'm not watching his streams anymore!"

"Same here."

A crowd of viewers were praying, all hoping Fang Hao wouldn't catch a fish.

Some even made threats.

If he caught a fish, they would stop watching the stream.

Everyone was glued to the screen in the streaming room, all wanting to see what exactly Fang Hao caught.

But there were a few viewers who remained calm.

"What's the rush, you guys should trust the streamer's consistent performance, he definitely won't catch a fish."

"Right, don't you know the streamer's character setting?"

They were not panicked at all, all believing Fang Hao wouldn't catch a fish.

At this moment, Fang Hao had no mind to care about the people in the streaming room.

All his thoughts were on the fish in the sea.

He had to bring this fish up!

To fulfill his greatest wish.

Before catching the fish, he must not make any mistakes.

He absolutely couldn't let the fish get away.

The pain of losing a fish is worse than not catching one at all.

Fang Hao experienced this once before while fishing in a fishpond and didn't want to experience it again.

Now is the time!

Fang Hao seized the opportunity, quickly reeling in while the fish's struggle weakened, pulling the fish up.

Soon, a huge fish head surfaced.

Joy spread across Fang Hao's face.

But that joy didn't last two seconds before his expression froze.

It wasn't that the fish had escaped.

The fish was still hanging on the hook.

It's just that... there was a problem with this fish.

Only its head was left hanging there.

The part below the fish head seemed to have been bitten off, just gone.

"???"

Fang Hao was stunned.

Old Ye and Xiao Pang, who were waiting to see Fang Hao catch the fish, were also stunned.

Does this count as catching a fish?

It seemed like he did, but also like he didn't.

Just a fish head left hanging there.

The bitten-off part still had some remaining flesh, with rows upon rows of dense teeth marks.

Aargh.

He felt like going mad.

Seeing this, Fang Hao felt his blood pressure soar.

So infuriating.

What kind of fish is playing tricks here?

Even eating the fish he caught.

And it was eaten just now because Fang Hao could tell the cut was very fresh.

It wasn't an old mark.

Fang Hao felt so enraged inside; he finally caught a fish, only for such a twist to happen.

It hurt just like a fish escaping.

Really too unbearable.

Who could have imagined, just when the fish was about to be landed, it would be bitten by something.

"Damn, couldn't it leave me a piece of meat?"

"Damn it!"

"What kind of fish bit my fish?"

Fang Hao was furious.

But with so many creatures in the sea, he didn't know what bit his fish.

If he ever finds out.

This 'grudge' must be avenged!

Otherwise, it would be too frustrating.

A perfectly good fish reduced to just a head, who wouldn't be angry?

Looking at the size of this fish head, the fish that was caught must weigh at least eight or nine jin.

My initial feeling wasn't wrong.

It was just that it got ambushed by a big fellow during the haul.

No wonder I felt a tug on the line earlier; it turns out something bit it off.

Damn.

I was so close to achieving the breakthrough from zero to one.

But now there's only a fish head left, which can't be counted as a fish.

So the record of fish caught remains at 0.

Fang Hao feels like he's about to grind his molars to dust.

But what can be done?

These unexpected situations are truly out of my control.

I was already being very cautious, afraid that the fish would get away.

This time the fish didn't escape, but it got eaten by a bigger fish, leaving only a head for me.

And now...

The trolls in the live chat, those little black-hearted viewers, are making an even bigger ruckus.

"Ha ha, you caught a fish head?"

"Does this count as catching a fish?"

"It shouldn't count, right? Catching a fish should mean a complete fish, not just a head."

"Ha ha, I knew the streamer's performance would be stable."

"Relieved now, relieved now."

"But that fish head, looks like it could be made into chopped chili fish head, steam it with some chopped chilies, that's definitely a good meal."

"Gurgle... You're making me hungry."

"There's also fish head soup, that's not bad either."

A perfectly good chat has somehow turned into a food discussion.

A group of people are doing a culinary critique on the fish head Fang Hao caught, showing off their foodie skills, even sharing the details of how to cook the dishes.

...

Fang Hao is speechless.

He unhooks the fish head that was caught and then tosses it back into the sea.

Let the rest be eaten by them.

Since the body got bitten off and only the head is left, Fang Hao wouldn't want it anyway.

It's just very frustrating.

I was just about to successfully catch a fish when this issue popped up.

And with this incident, Fang Hao's mind received another system notification.

His popularity has officially broken through ten million.

He has entered the ranks of ten-million level streamers.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching ten million popularity, a Black Gold Treasure Chest is rewarded.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the title of Super Streamer.]

The system sends out two notifications.

The first one is about a reward.

This time the reward is different.

After breaking through ten million popularity, Fang Hao has earned a Black Gold Treasure Chest.

Just by the name, it's clear that the reward must be better than the previous ones.

Is this a sugar-coated consolation for the fish being bitten off?

Fang Hao doesn't know whether to feel happy or frustrated.

Say I'm happy, yes, after all, receiving such a reward is satisfying.

But if you say I'm frustrated, certainly, as I was about to catch a fish, fulfilling my biggest wish when suddenly it got attacked, the fish bitten off, turning all my efforts into bubbles.

That's the most irritating part.

After Fang Hao's popularity broke through ten million, he also received the title of [Super Streamer].

This title seems to have another effect.

But right now, Fang Hao doesn't have the time or mood to study it, so he sets it aside for the moment.

As his popularity in the live room breaks through ten million, the Hu Ya Platform also shows him great respect, announcing a platform-wide celebration.

Now, many people, including a lot of streamers, are aware that Fang Hao's live room has reached ten million popularity.

"Damn, ten million popularity... That growth is too fast, I remember last time he had just over three million."

"Wow, Hu Ya's giving so much face, a platform-wide celebration?"

"But this ten million popularity is scary, when can I reach that level? No, I'd be happy with just a fraction of his."

Many small streamers are turning green with envy.

Seeing Fang Hao break through ten million popularity, Su Baige's eyes brim with excited tears.

Finally achieved...

Who would have thought that she initially hoped Fang Hao would just become a one-million viewer streamer, stable at one million would suffice.

But unbeknownst to her, he has become a super streamer with ten million popularity.

Far beyond expectations.

This is a true gem.

So lucky.

She didn't expect that a casual move on her part not only helped Fang Hao but also completed herself.

...

While everyone is celebrating Fang Hao's ten million popularity breakthrough.

Fang Hao is still troubled about the fish situation.

"Aye, bro... can you not mess with me?"

"Just let me catch a fish smoothly, will ya?"

"If that doesn't work, I'm willing to bet my live room viewers' singlehood for a year, just let me catch a fish."

Live room viewers: "???"
