The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

The sea breeze blew gently, sweeping away a half of the sorrow.

Fang Hao composed himself, ready to start anew.

He felt what he really lacked was a bit of luck.

With just a little more luck, maybe he'd catch some fish.

So he wasn't disheartened and still believed that he would eventually catch fish on this sea fishing trip.

It was only the first day and he almost caught one. With a bit of luck in the next two days, wouldn't he catch one?

Look at the past - couldn't even catch a fish.

At least this time, he caught a fish head.

It's just a shame that when he was catching the fish, another big fish bit off half of its body.

He was so close!

Otherwise, he would have truly achieved a breakthrough from zero.

Talking about it made him frustrated.

Couldn't tell what bit off the fish - maybe a shark, or perhaps some other larger fish.

The ocean is too vast, full of rich resources, with hundreds of thousands of creatures living beneath, maybe even more. Among them, there are probably about fifteen thousand species of marine fish, and it's estimated there might be around twenty thousand in total.

And this is based on the fact that some deep-sea areas are still unexplored.

Over the years, many countries have participated in a marine life survey, with over three hundred scientists involved, estimated to take over ten years and cost over a billion dollars. It's an unprecedented collaboration, so that marine scientists from every corner of the world can take part.

Since the start of the program, on average, three new marine species have been discovered every week.

According to this research program, there are probably about five thousand species of marine fish and tens of thousands of marine organisms yet to be discovered.

A huge variety of marine life, all filled with various research values.

There are also various mineral resources on the seabed, as well as the unfathomable depths.

Thus, marine resources are a very important resource.

He cast his line back into the sea.

"What a pity."

"That was a pretty big fish."

Xiao Pang commented as he saw Fang Hao throw the fish head back into the sea, with a look of reluctance and a subconscious swallow.

If the entire fish had been caught, they might have been able to enjoy a full fish feast tonight. Such a big fish would have been great for sashimi.

They came prepared with all kinds of seasonings on this sea trip, including wasabi for mustard.

It was all for the sake of enjoying fresh food after catching fish.

Think of it as a travel treat.

But so far, only Old Ye has caught a fish.

Neither Fang Hao nor Xiao Pang had caught anything, both at zero.

That's really frustrating.

Luckily, their boat wasn't rented but a reward from the system; otherwise, at the rate they were catching fish, they would soon go bankrupt.

Others who go out to sea and catch fish can sell them to offset the rental fee for the boat and even make a profit.

With the way they were fishing, there weren't many fish to show for it.

"It's okay, I'll catch an even bigger one in a bit."

Fang Hao regained his confidence.

At least this time, he didn't catch a diver again, which was a good start.

...

"Damn, the host is too persistent."

"Is the host going to tear up our umbrella just because he's been rained on?"

"Host, it's fine if you're single, but don't make us join you!"

"Don't worry, host, I've already got a partner! So there's no way you'll catch a fish!!!"

"Cuddling with my wife watching the stream, so host, do you think your wish will come true?"

"I'm willing to sacrifice my buddy Zhang Mo's three years of singlehood to pray that the host won't catch a fish!"

"I'm willing to use the host being single for ten years as a wager, praying he won't catch a fish!"

Fight magic with magic.

The water friends in the live chat went all out, following Fang Hao's example, sacrificing something as a bet to curse Fang Hao's fishing luck.

The atmosphere in the live chat was explosive.

With tens of millions of viewers, the popularity of the live chat was not just for show.

In a minute, hundreds to thousands of bullet comments would take flight.

Without disabling some of them, you wouldn't be able to see anyone at all – densely packed comments completely covered the screen.

But the crowd continued to send their comments happily.

That was their fun.

Not to mention, the atmosphere in this live chat was incomparable to any other.

Light-hearted and cheerful.

No need for any special program effects.

Just with this live stream and the unexpected occurrences, the excitement was at its peak.

Everyone liked to see what would happen next.

"Just don't know what else the host will continue to catch from the sea this time."

"Hehe, there are way more treasures in the sea than in the river."

"Maybe there's a sunken ship below."

"Oh, then there must be a lot of gold."

"I've seen Caribbean Pirates, there are lots of treasures in it, along with lots of gold and jewelry..."

"Err, dude, it's Caribbean Pirates, not Maler Gobi..."

"I suspect you're cursing someone, but I have no evidence."

"..."

Everyone had their say.

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became.

Fang Hao glanced briefly and then stopped watching.

He refocused his attention and... continued to fish with a calm heart.

Quietly being a handsome man, earnestly fishing.

As long as he caught a fish himself, he could slap these trolls' faces hard.

Heh, cursing him not to catch a fish?

What a joke.

He's the child of destiny!

He believed in the most auspicious fortune slip, which would never deceive him.

He was waiting for that stroke of luck to strike.

Maybe the moment would come at any moment.
