The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 62 - 61: Hooked Gold?

When Fang Hao saw the float sink, his heart instantly tightened again.

Was it a fish this time, or something else?

His gaze fixated intently on the river's surface.

The float sank then bobbed back up.

This action repeated several times.

It was obvious that a fish was nibbling at the bait.

Plop.

At that moment, a fish leaped from the water right where Fang Hao's fishing rod was, jumping from the left side to the right, as if his rod were the dragon gate.

"..."

Damn, what was that fish trying to do?

Show off in front of him?

Or was it challenging him???

"Streamer, is the fish thanking you for your generous feeding?"

"Hahaha, generous."

"Definitely generous, eh? How many fishers can be as lavish as you, putting all that bait in your spot earlier?"

"Streamer, that fish is provoking you, you can't stand for this, you must reel in!"

"Drain the water, see if it can still be so arrogant in front of you."

"Alright, whoever just shouted 'drain the water,' I'll give you a thousand bucks, no, ten thousand bucks. If you can drain this water for me, I'll be impressed."

Fang Hao also caught a glimpse of the viewers suggesting "drain the water" and immediately started shouting in his livestream.

Just watching these guys, none dared to accept the challenge.

Thinking about draining water, such a bold thought.

This was no small pond.

This was one of the two largest tributaries within the Binjiang area.

In fact, its water flow even exceeded the other tributary Binjiang!

"Streamer, that amount of money won't cut it."

"Just ten thousand, that wouldn't even cover the labor costs."

"Fang bro, if you pay enough, not only will we drain the river for you, we could install an elevator on Mount Everest or tile the Great Wall."

"6666, we'll take on that project."

"Don't compete, this one's ours!"

Seeing these people talk more and more nonsense, even bringing in Mount Everest elevators and tiling the Great Wall, Fang Hao just rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to fishing.

These viewers really knew how to shoot the breeze.

But on Fang Hao's hook, things had returned to calm.

Seeing no movement for a long time.

Fang Hao decided to pick up the rod to check the hook's status, to see what was going on.

He picked up the rod he had been using.

But just as he grasped it, ready to lift.

Hmm?

He sensed something amiss.

The weight was off.

No way.

Had he caught something else?

It definitely wasn't a fish.

If it had been a fish, it would have struggled; there would be no silence, and the float would have been pulled down.

It felt different in the pull of the line too.

So he was certain, he must have hooked onto something.

After all, the river was flowing, not like a still pond, so hooking onto something was pretty normal.

He wondered what he would catch this time?

The weight seemed okay, not very heavy, probably around two pounds or so.

Since it wasn't heavy, Fang Hao easily pulled it up.

When the object was pulled to the surface, it appeared to be a string of items, quite similar to jewelry.

The hook was firmly attached to it.

"Hmm?"

"Is this women's jewelry?"

"No, wait!"

At first, Fang Hao thought it was just ordinary jewelry, but as soon as he noticed the gleaming yellow color, he immediately realized what it was.

It was gold!

Yes, gold jewelry.

Holy shit, nearly two jin of gold jewelry, how much is that worth?

One jin is five hundred grams, so two jin is one thousand grams.

At the current gold price of three hundred and fifty yuan per gram, that's a value of three hundred and fifty thousand yuan right there.

And that's just calculating the purity of the gold, without factoring in any additional costs for craftsmanship.

If this piece of jewelry is an antique passed down from ancient times, then it's worth even more—it wouldn't just be valued by the weight of the gold but as an antique piece.

However, Fang Hao still needed to confirm whether this was really gold, lest he got happy for nothing.

When Fang Hao noticed this, the friends in the live room also spotted this situation.

"Did the host reel in some jewelry this time?"

"Why does it seem to be emitting a yellow glow, sss... it couldn't be gold, could it?"

Everyone's gaze was drawn, especially when the object was lit by the flashlight, giving off a faint yellow glimmer.

This immediately led people to speculate whether it might be gold.

Fang Hao picked up the object to weigh it in his hand; it was quite heavy. Purely based on weight, it was highly likely to be gold.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that it was just gold-plated.

If it were real gold jewelry, who would have the heart to throw it away?

That would be too wasteful.

"If he fished up gold jewelry this time, the host is going to be rich."

"Judging from the weight, it definitely isn't plastic."

The eyes of the crowd were shining; the live room became lively once more in an instant.

"If it's not gold-plated, then it's a jackpot."

"I'm going to go fishing at the host's spot tomorrow; hopefully, I can also reel in some gold jewelry."

Some friends were even planning to go fishing in Binjiang the next day.

"Hehe, brothers, I've already climbed out of bed, getting ready to go now."

This friend was a local from Binjiang.

He got out of bed overnight, ready for some night fishing.

Sleep?

Who needs sleep?

Who could sleep now?

After seeing Fang Hao reel in 'gold jewelry', who would be in the mood for sleep?

"Holy shit, you Old Six actually went without making a sound, wait for me."

"I'm going too."

Some people also wanted to try their luck and see if they could fish up gold jewelry too.

"The host's luck tonight is off the charts."

"Even though he didn't catch any fish, this thing is worth way more than fish."

For the first time in the live room, none of the friends teased Fang Hao.

Instead, they were grinding their teeth with envy.

Too envious they were.

Everyone's just there for some fun when you fish up ordinary stuff.

But when you fish up a treasure, that's a different story.

"Host should take it to a goldsmith tomorrow to have it checked."

Someone suggested.

This way, it could be confirmed whether it was really gold jewelry or made from some other material.

But judging by the appearance, the chances were high it was gold.

Unless he really had bad luck, and it turned out to be gold-plated, then there would be nothing he could do.

Fang Hao looked over the jewelry for a long time but couldn't figure anything out.

He had never come into contact with such things before.

"Eh, don't you guys think, could the jewelry have been hung there by the fish we saw earlier?"

At this moment, a friend thought back to the scene where the fish suddenly jumped out of the water, leaping over the fishing rod.

Then he raised the question.

"This... isn't possible, right?"

"Are fish that clever?"

"If that's the case, it's not a fish, but a Fish Demon."

"There's a saying 'no spirits or demons should appear after the founding of the country', this might just be a fluke."

"..."

While a group of people was discussing this, He Zhenmin was already on his way to find Fang Hao.

He drove his car, getting on the highway from another city.

Taking the highway, he would reach his destination in about two and a half hours.

He was so impatient that he wanted to rush over without a moment's delay.

He had a special hunch in his heart, feeling that this trip to Binjiang would bring him a big surprise.
