The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 70 - 69 Speaking so shamelessly with a straight face

A thousand-year-old shipwreck was discovered and it created a big buzz online.

Fang Hao once again topped the trending search list.

This drew the attention of many people.

His popularity far exceeded that of the discovered thousand-year-old shipwreck.

Many found that the topics naturally surrounding Fang Hao were hotter than any other.

You'd ask, which legitimate fisherman fishes up such things?

When people fish, at most they occasionally hook some garbage in the river or perhaps old tree branches.

But this guy, he never even fished up a single fish.

Instead, he caught two corpses, toy Ultraman, a broken radio, coins, and gold jewelry.

Look at this, it's got everything.

So after making the trending search list again, many netizens started to bet and guess what he would fish up next.

A person who could fish up anything but fish.

How could this not be interesting to everyone?

Such fishing is intriguing.

It's like the thrill of opening mystery boxes.

Netizens' interest in him grew stronger, and they followed him in droves.

Some even suggested that he should start a Weibo account to interact better with his fans.

Meanwhile, with Fang Hao's popularity so high, naturally, some internet celebrities began to copy him.

People started imitating his fishing online.

But those people clearly had scripts, it was evident they were copying.

They even pretended to catch nothing at all.

Which incited a lot of criticisms.

"Can you at least fish professionally, damn it? Even if you're a beginner, show some spirit."

"If you're going to copy, at least copy properly, man. Although my bro Fang Hao can't catch fish, his fishing skills still have some level."

"It's pre-placed stuff, right? It's all too obvious."

"Fish roe."

"I watched for a few minutes, and it was so boring, just forced imitation, not capturing the essence at all, just wasting my time."

When Fang Hao livestreamed, the camera's perspective was great, focusing on the fishing rod without blocking the view.

But those imitators often used awkward camera angles to hook pre-prepared items onto their lines before lifting them out.

Do you think everyone watching is blind?

Can't people see the items you've prepared beforehand?

Is it that easy to fool us?

Even if you arranged for someone to dive and hang stuff, no one would say anything.

At least you were making an effort.

Not like these full of loopholes, giving a very perfunctory response.

When others fish, they're fishing, but these people seem to be fishing for things they've pre-placed.

Those who mimic didn't manage to piggyback on Fang Hao's popularity but instead got criticized heavily.

They're all not catching fish, also fishing up various stuff, but why is Fang Hao so captivating while these imitators just get blasted?

The main reason is their attitude.

To describe it in one word, it would be pandering.

They missed the essence, merely copying the form.

So these copycat 'fishing streamers' deserve to be criticized.

However, all these were just minor diversions and had no impact on Fang Hao.

He didn't care at all.

Let those people follow the trend if they wanted, it would not affect his fishing either.

…

The subsequent salvage of the shipwreck also had nothing to do with Fang Hao.

It likely wouldn't all be salvaged for a couple of months.

For a long time ahead, preparations were probably still underway, and it wouldn't just be lifted out all at once.

This wasn't just retrieving some item.

These were artifacts that had existed for thousands of years, and the interior conditions of the shipwreck were still unknown.

After a thousand years, the interior of the shipwreck must also have some decayed areas, where one must be careful not to cause damage.

So before salvaging, it's necessary to consider all situations and solve all problems.

Once the situation was clear, they could start salvaging.

Due to the discovery of an ancient shipwreck, a large area around the Tongyang River was blocked off.

Fang Hao couldn't continue fishing there anymore.

He had to find another place.

Luckily, there were many spots for fishing in Binjiang, so he didn't have to worry about not having a place to fish.

"Fang Hao, Fang Hao, why not come fish at my family's pond?"

"We have a lot of fish in our pond."

After returning home to rest, a fan privately messaged Fang Hao.

They wanted to invite Fang Hao to fish at their family's pond.

Huh?

That could work.

Fang Hao's eyes lit up; he couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before.

Fishing in a pond, that's like being spoon-fed!

Is it possible not to catch any fish in a pond?

Impossible.

Fishing in a pond is like catching fish even with eyes closed.

Regardless, he had to get himself to catch some fish first.

If he couldn't catch any, he'd start questioning his life.

But even so, he had to maintain his persona.

"Hey, as a master like me, I generally don't go fishing in a pond. But since you've warmly invited me, I'll reluctantly agree."

He couldn't embarrass himself in front of his fans.

He had to show that though he didn't really want to, he'd reluctantly agree since they insisted.

"LOL."

"Fang Hao, I can't believe you can say such shameless words with such a straight face."

"You truly are my idol."

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Fang Hao simply ignored the response.

He asked for the address of the pond.

It was in a village in a county under Binjiang, not too far away.

Fang Hao and the person agreed on meeting the next day.

It was too late today, and Fang Hao hadn't rested for a whole day and night. Although he wasn't tired yet and still felt spirited, he wouldn't push himself too hard.

Fishing is fun, but it isn't worth risking one's life.

One must rest when it's time to rest.

Fang Hao wasn't in a rush.

As for Han Weixiang and He Zhenmin, they were too busy, completely focused on salvaging the ancient ship, not even having time to drink water. Fang Hao didn't disturb them and simply took a taxi home.

...

Nighttime.

A soccer game that had caught everyone's attention was about to start.

It was a friendly match.

But there was a massive interest in it.

Because it was the National football team playing against the former World Cup champions, Italy.

Facing such a strong opponent, nobody believed that the National team would win.

This wasn't science fiction anymore; it was more like fantasy.

What could the National team use to win?

Although the National team's condition had improved recently, with a new coach who introduced a series of reforms after the previous coach was arrested, no one was optimistic given the overall environment.

People only hoped that the National team would lose by a smaller margin.

To lose by less was to win.

That was everyone's thought.

However, in this game, the National team played like never before, with more determination and aggression.

Active positioning and tackling.

Miraculously, they…
