The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Fang Hao indeed read out such a sentence at the moment, fitting perfectly with the seascape.

The photographer also captured this scene.

"Look, this is the difference of a cultured person."

"So we really should read more."

This time, they would need to spend over ten hours at sea.

By the time the sun set, it truly became 'a blaze of color accompanied by the flying solitary birds, the sky and water in autumn sharing one hue.'

The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.

This must be the most beautiful seascape Fang Hao had ever seen.

Everyone on board was watching the outside view... completely mesmerized for a moment.

In the evening, everyone on the ship solved their dinner problem,

The food on the ship was still plentiful.

After traveling for over ten hours like this, they finally arrived at their destination, the Xisha Islands, the next day.

The environment here was better than any other place they had seen before.

"This must be a paradise on earth."

Xiao Pang was so entranced that his eyes were shining.

"I really want to live here for a lifetime and never go back."

"Well, you could just stay here when we go back."

"Or how about you choose an island and try some wilderness survival?"

Ah Liutong also made a small joke with him.

"Er... let's not."

Survival on a deserted island would be risking his life.

He estimated he wouldn't last more than three days on a deserted island, either dying from hunger or thirst, or being devoured by the wild animals on the island.

Even if he could fish, who knew if he could catch fish every day; such ideas were no good.

He wanted to live here, to reside with the locals on the island, not by himself on a deserted island.

That was tempting fate.

He didn't have the guts for that.

"Ah Liutong, don't scare Xiao Pang. There are no deserted islands here."

"We wouldn't do such a thing," Damao laughed it off.

"Swear it!"

Xiao Pang's gaze was full of suspicion towards him; he did not believe his words.

Especially as they had been together for some time now and had gotten to know each other well.

The more familiar he was, the more he knew... not to trust their words.

"Ah... that, Ah Liutong, this should be our fishing spot, right?"

Damao immediately changed the topic.

"..."

Xiao Pang didn't even know what to say.

Fortunately, he was familiar with these people and didn't easily fall for their tricks.

However, this was just a joke among them, they wouldn't really leave him on a deserted island here.

After arriving at their destination, the others disembarked to shoot videos.

While Fang Hao remained on the ship to fish, he was too lazy to go ashore, to save time.

Xiao Pang was also afraid of being left on the island by others, so he simply stayed on the ship and fished next to Fang Hao, which was safer.

Everyone began to busily engage in their own activities, and even had to go to other islands to shoot promotional videos.

Those who were shooting short films did that, and those who were fishing did that, they all had things to keep them busy.

Fang Hao also took out his newest fishing rod, the Adamantium Alloy Fishing Rod.

This rod was a reward he received from the system last time, and now was a good time to experience it and see how it felt.

The weight of this rod was about the same as the previous rods.

It seemed this alloy didn't feel very heavy.

With the same weight, the resilience and durability were even better.

To be honest, Fang Hao didn't know how much strength this rod could withstand or how heavy a catch it could handle.

According to the system's introduction, this rod could probably handle a catch of several hundred tons.

That would probably be useful for whale fishing.

The biggest whales can weigh over one hundred and eighty tons!

That's a tremendously large marine creature.

This rod would probably be able to handle it.

But that's not Fang Hao's goal.

Whales might be big, but they are not fish; they are mammals.

Fang Hao wanted to catch fish!

Fish was his target.

Now, catching a shark, that would be acceptable.

If all else fails, catching a shark on this sea voyage would be good too.

Catching a shark would indeed be an impressive feat.

Fang Hao also took out a set of specially made fishing line, which matched perfectly with the Adamantium Alloy Fishing Rod.

A perfect match.

Holding the rod and swinging it in his hand, it felt pretty good.

Xiao Pang also took out his own fishing rod, planning to fish here.

He made sure to keep up with Fang Hao and not get left behind.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know when he'd been ditched.

Sticking with Big Bro Hao was the safest bet.

The others were unreliable.

After preparing their fishing rods and bait, they started to fish.

With a flick of the rod, the line flew out and the hook landed steadily on the surface of the sea and quickly sank.

The cast rod left a blur in mid-air.

But apart from Xiao Pang who was nearby, no one else witnessed this impressive moment.

Then Fang Hao also took out his live streaming equipment, set it up, and got ready for their fishing session.

"Where are you, streamer?"

"Wow, where is this place? The water looks so clear."

"This is way better than whatever Mal, I'm not even going to travel anymore, I'll just come here."

After Fang Hao started the live stream, a bunch of people rushed into his chat room.

When they saw the sea, they were all amazed.

The sea here was too clean.

The water was too clear.

Who wouldn't be dazzled? Who wouldn't be tempted?

"This place is Xisha, I really recommend everyone to visit," Fang Hao briefly introduced in the chat room.

"I feel that in my lifetime, I need to visit Xisha Islands at least once."

"So beautiful … but I don't know how much it would cost to visit."

It looked nice, but expensive costs were feared.

Everyone was worried about high expenses that they couldn't afford, which would be disappointing.

"Roughly it would cost about eight to ten thousand per person," Fang Hao informed them about the price.

Some people thought it was reasonable, while others felt it was expensive.

This wasn't something the average working class could afford.

"Wuwu, I just bought a house, no money to travel."

Especially those with heavy financial burdens, they pretty much gave up on the idea.

The pressure on ordinary people in today's society was just too great.

Buying a house, buying a car, getting married, having kids, each was a major expense.

Many people couldn't save much money in a year.

Not being in debt was already good enough, let alone thinking about savings.

However, there were some people who were in a much better situation, especially some singles who were not yet married, or those from wealthy families.

They were the ones hoping to visit Xisha Islands.

Eight to ten thousand was not a problem for them.

"I really want to go …"

"I've decided, I'm going to Xisha next year!"

"Why don't we buy our tickets now?"

Some impulsive viewers even decided to buy tickets to the island right away and then take a boat from the Island Province to the Xisha Islands.

"Hehe, you guys are really too slow, I'm already on the ferry from the Island Province heading to Xisha."

Some had even started their journeys to Xisha.

That was speed.

Seeing so many comments, Fang Hao hadn't expected his simple introduction to ignite such interest in a place.

Now many people were paying attention to this place, to its beautiful scenery.

"Alright, let's be kinder to the poor, stop talking about traveling (cry)."

"Wuwu… you're right, +1 to the dirt-eating club."

"Let's just watch the streamer fish."

"Watching the live stream is like we've been there too."

Comforting themselves, at least they've seen the sea in the live stream, and it's like they've visited the Xisha Islands.

Everyone's attention went back to the fishing.

Then they thought about the plane again.

"Did the eagle team manage to salvage the plane?"

"It doesn't seem so."

"No, they're preparing to give up the salvage efforts and withdraw."

They simply couldn't find it, discovering nothing.

Every day they stayed here, it cost them a fortune.

They found it hard to bear such expenses.

So these people were ready to leave.

They felt that if they couldn't find it, no one else would be able to.

In this aspect, they were somewhat confident.

Especially since they had expanded the search area so much during this time.

And yet, they found nothing.

Could anyone else really manage to salvage it?
