The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 243 - 162: The Lost National Treasure! (Subscription Request)_2

"What!" he exclaimed.

"Is this something from the time when Yuanming Garden was burned down?"

"I've been to Yuanming Garden, but after I went, you have no idea how heartbreaking it felt. How many of our treasures were destroyed by those damned robbers!"

"Damn it, I wish I could go to their museums and take back those things that were taken from us."

"Right!"

This sentiment resonated with many people.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, especially those who had seen their cultural relics and national treasures in overseas museums. The heartache and gnashing of teeth was palpable.

They really wished they could just smash everything and bring the items back.

It was infuriating, to say the least.

"Despicable."

"I hope that one day... we can take back what belongs to us."

"No, it's when our strength is great enough that they'll send it back to us willingly."

"It's a pity. If only there had been more ships that sank back then."

Everyone still felt a bit of regret that they only found one ship instead of several.

If there had been several, it would mean the looters wouldn't have taken as much and there would be more treasures left for us.

"So, what is the live-streamer going to do about this sunken ship now?"

Some viewers were also looking forward to what would happen next.

"Nonsense, we obviously have to call the police, the relevant departments will have to organize a recovery operation."

After all, who else besides professionals could salvage a sunken ship from the deep sea? It certainly had to be officially handled.

"Then, what are we going to do now, Bro Hao?" the chubby guy asked.

Now that they had found a sunken ship, fishing was definitely off the table for the moment.

"Call the police," he said.

Quickly, they made the call, reported the situation, and made a particular point to mention that this was a ship from the time when Yuanming Garden was burned down.

They emphasized this to get the authorities to take it seriously.

If it had been just an ordinary sunken ship without any need for recovery, would it even make sense to waste so much effort on salvage?

That was highly unlikely.

But a ship from the time of Yuanming Garden's burning was different.

It was of immense value.

No matter the cost, they were ready to undertake recovery efforts.

The treasures lying below were priceless cultural relics, national treasures, none of which could be lost.

As they reported the incident, word quickly spread.

Especially since the ship was from the time of the burning of Yuanming Garden, the significance and importance were markedly different.

"What? A ship from the burning of Yuanming Garden, carrying so many of its relics?"

Some big names in the cultural relics industry were deeply moved upon hearing this news.

The Director of the National Museum and other heavy hitters couldn't contain their excitement and couldn't sleep.

"Let's go to Jinghai, set out immediately."

Jinghai Museum too had received the news of the discovery right away, and they too couldn't sit still.

They could imagine how many people would come.

"A sunken ship from the burning of Yuanming Garden was found in the Eastern Sea? It contains many of Yuanming Garden's artifacts?"

In Hundong Province, Old Han and Old Zhang were also preparing to set off for Jinghai.

Binjiang's thousand-year-old shipwreck salvage had entered the right track; they weren't needed there anymore.

They could now spare the time to come to this place.

Of course, what really got them moving was hearing that Fang Hao was the one who had discovered the ship.

"This kid... never lets you worry less about him."

"But I like it."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could fish up even more relics in the future?"

The two old men started laughing and were quite joyful.

They didn't care about the hardship; they were all too eager to make their way to Jinghai at night, even heading out to the sunken ship salvage site in the Eastern Sea.

...

Within fifteen minutes after they called the police, the coast guard ship arrived.

When they saw the part of the sunken ship Fang Hao had brought up, they were all amazed.

Such a heavy object—how could someone possibly fish that up?

Just this upper structure alone would require... how much strength to pull out.

Goodness, is he even human?

Even though they had already received information about Fang Hao on their way over.

He was a key figure.

Within their internal system, he had already been marked as a special person of Category A for close attention.

"Mr. Fang, thank you for the information," they said.

"Where did you fish up this sunken ship?"

The Coast Guard Ship arrived and first took the time to thoroughly understand the situation.

Then they released a deep-sea sonar detector, lowering it to the ocean floor.

Soon, they discovered a shipwreck in the deep sea.

It was nearly three hundred meters deep where the ship was discovered.

After finding the shipwreck, they didn't immediately retract the detector but instead expanded the search area.

Clueless before the search, the moment they began, they were in for a shock.

Below, two more signals came through, indicating that there were two more newly discovered shipwrecks.

Then, they expanded the range further and found another one.

One, two... four. They had discovered a total of four shipwrecks.

This was a major discovery.

Four shipwrecks!

And they were all loaded with cultural relics looted from Yuanming Garden; imagine the immense value of that.

Even Fang Hao was startled upon hearing about the four ships found.

Holy moly, four ships!

At first, Fang Hao thought there were only two, but it turned out to be four.

Now that's got to be of great value.

Each additional ship means more treasures left for them, how could they not be thrilled?

Once the presence of the four shipwrecks was confirmed below, the Coast Guard reported the news once again, and it caused even more of a sensation.

"Holy smokes..."

"Indeed, heaven blesses us, there are actually four, sob."

"I'm so excited, the treasures from these four ships can finally return to our own hands."

"Just how many treasures are there in these four ships?"

Many people couldn't wait, they all wanted to see the salvaged appearance of the four shipwrecks and find out how many treasures would be raised.

The Coast Guard swiftly sealed off the area, not allowing other vessels to enter.

Because next, there would be a salvage operation taking place here.

This was no minor matter.

It was an extremely important event.

This involved the recovery of national treasure relics, not just a simple matter of raising a ship.

Fang Hao and his companions could no longer continue fishing; they also reeled in their fishing rods.

As for the rod that Fang Hao used to fish up a part of the shipwreck, they had to wait for someone to handle the ship part before retrieving it.

However, Fang Hao was able to place the item he fished up onto the deck of the Coast Guard Ship.

The Coast Guard Ship was large enough to accommodate the superstructure.

When people saw Fang Hao easily lifting the object, they were all astonished.

What immense strength.

After the exchange of goods, Fang Hao did not leave immediately; they also wanted to see the salvage process.

Actually, it wasn't just him, but everyone onboard and a group of viewers in the live stream room.

Nobody was sleeping; they were all watching here.

Fang Hao also declared his identity to the Coast Guard; he held another role as a special advisor for the Handong Province Cultural Relics Bureau.

This advisory position came in handy here, and although it was just for Handong Province, at the very least, it represented that he was an expert in this field.

Even if Fang Hao had not disclosed his identity, he would not have been asked to leave.

Because he was the discoverer of the shipwreck.

"Oh my, the host is actually a special advisor for the Cultural Relics Bureau!"

"Damn, the host looks so young, how can he have so many titles?"

At this time, some viewers also noticed Fang Hao's various titles, which seemed to be more than one.

Apart from being a special advisor for the Handong Province Cultural Relics Bureau, he also had the title of Ambassador of Tourism for Island Province...

As everyone was waiting, the arrival of the salvage ship was finally witnessed.

Accompanying it were big names from the Jinghai Cultural Relics Industry, as well as the Director of the Jinghai Museum and others.

They had come along as well.

They rushed over overnight.

By the time they arrived, it was already daytime.

A whole night had passed just like that.

During this one night, no one slept; everyone was passionate as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

The people who came after, upon learning that Fang Hao who fished up the shipwreck was also a special advisor for the Handong Province Cultural Relics Bureau, hurried over to greet him.

But when they saw Fang Hao's young face, they were slightly shocked.

Initially, they expected the person to be in their forties or fifties; to their surprise, he seemed to be just over twenty.

This... Was Handong Province messing around? What capabilities could someone so young have?

In their line of work, much like doctors, the older one got, the more sought after they were.

It required the accumulation of knowledge, the sedimentation of time.

Not anyone could just assume the role.

Although they didn't understand the situation, they still welcomed Fang Hao politely.
