The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 71 - 70: Oh no, Weibo exploded!
2:1!
The National football team pulled off a last-minute win against Italy.
It left everyone's jaw on the floor, staring at the result in disbelief.
As if in a dream.
No.
More unbelievable than a dream.
Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream like this.
This is Italy we're talking about.
By no means a weak team.
A former World Cup champion, currently ranked among the top few in the world.
Meanwhile, the National football team had fallen way down to seventieth or eightieth place.
You could say it's normal for the National football team to beat Saudi Arabia or something like that,
But to beat Italy, that's just too fantastical.
Everyone was stunned.
Before this, a bunch of people were predicting Italy would score six or seven goals in this match.
You have to realize the National football team had just gone through a painful transition, changing their head coach, since the former coach, Li Tong, had been imprisoned.
After the new head coach stepped in, sweeping reforms were made.
But since there wasn't much time, many people thought they wouldn't see results so soon.
This match shocked everyone.
The whole stadium was buzzing.
And after the match ended, both the scene and the web were boiling over.
On Weibo, it was like a pot had exploded.
Instantly,
"National football team beats Italy" skyrocketed to the top of the hot search list.
The popularity just exploded.
Who would believe it?
Utterly surreal.
"The National football team won??"
"Holy shit, shouldn't it be Italy 6:0 National football team by any normal standard?"
"This is sorcery, pure sorcery."
"Did I... travel to another time?"
Some netizens even thought they'd traveled through time to a parallel universe where the National football team could defeat other teams.
That's why there was such an explosion of interest.
On Weibo, topic after topic was about the National football team.
Nearly four of the top ten hot search topics were related to the National football team.
The topic of Fang Hao discovering an ancient shipwreck while fishing even fell two spots down on the hot search list, overtaken by the buzz about the National football team.
Just imagine the sensational impact.
The next time the National football team caused such a sensation, they'd probably have to make it to the World Cup again.
The entire internet was discussing it after this match.
Whether they'd watched the game or not, everyone was talking.
Weibo exploded and the server crashed for three minutes.
Many people couldn't log in, the web pages were frozen.
"Crap, Weibo crashed."
"Damn, what kind of garbage servers are these?"
"Hurry and fix it, let us in."
"Rubbish Weibo, can't even handle this much traffic?"
"Quick, quick, repair it."
During these few minutes of backend paralysis, it was torture for the eager netizens.
Weibo's programmers were also scrambling to fix the backend, and after a few minutes, the issue was resolved.
Things went back to normal.
And then they too joined the discussions under these topics on Weibo.
Practically the whole internet was talking.
Who would have believed that the National football team could win the match.
"This must be staged, right?"
"Or did Italy throw the game?"
...
"What!"
"The national football team won?"
"This... Fang Hao actually guessed it right!"
At this moment, a group of Fang Hao's fans was stunned.
They vaguely remembered that during the live broadcast, Fang Hao had said that the national football team would win 2:1 against Italy, and not only had they won, but the score was exactly right.
"Holy..."
"Fang Hao is freaking awesome."
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
"He actually got it right."
"No, this wasn't a guess, Fang Hao said it was news broadcast by the radio."
"Oh my God, this radio is beyond incredible."
"No wonder it's so accurate."
"The first time, the radio had predicted that the big star Yi Jianqiu would be caught with a prostitute. Now it's predicted that the national football team would win 2:1 against Italy. This radio, couldn't really be futuristic black technology, could it?"
These people began to speculate about the construction of the radio.
Some believed it might be black technology from the future, allowing it to predict information in advance.
But these were all just their speculations, what the actual situation was, probably only Fang Hao knew for sure.
"It's a good thing the host didn't throw away this broken radio he fished up."
"That's badass."
"I wonder what news it will predict next."
"If it could predict lottery numbers, that would be great, I'd be rich."
"Erm... actually, I wanted to say, if you listened to Fang Hao this time and bet on the national football team winning, you could've gotten rich too."
"Oh man, why didn't I just follow along and bet a little."
"These odds... seventy-six times!"
"If I had bet a thousand bucks back then, I'd have seventy-six thousand now."
"..."
The group finally came to their senses, filled with regret, almost slapping their thighs swollen.
Why hadn't they reacted at the time?
If they had reacted at the time and listened to the host Fang Hao, then they really could've struck it rich.
At the time, almost no one believed that the national team would win the match; it was taken as a joke.
No one believed it, who would have bet on it?
Only Fang Hao himself had casually placed a ten thousand yuan bet.
Now that the game was won, with the odds, he could win over seven hundred thousand yuan.
Fang Hao struck it big this round.
He'd just gone out for a meal, saw a lottery shop, and bought the soccer lottery on a whim.
He never expected such an unexpected windfall.
Now he really didn't lack money.
When Fang Hao found out about this, he wanted to laugh himself.
When fortune comes, there's no stopping it.
It was an unexpectedly delightful surprise.
Of course, what surprised Fang Hao even more was that the national team had won.
Such an unbelievable piece of news had actually come true.
He had underestimated this radio before.
A radio he hadn't cared much about before in Fang Hao's mind now caught his full attention.
Became the object of his focused attention.
This seemingly broken radio turned out to have such a magical predictive function.
It was not just awesome.
Although it had made a prediction before, at the time, Fang Hao still thought it was somewhat coincidental.
But now... it was no coincidence.
Would a coincidence predict such unbelievable things?
Clearly, it truly had a predictive function.
Perhaps this broken radio was futuristic black technology.
It's just because his own knowledge wasn't enough yet, so he couldn't tell, and mistook a piece of black tech for a broken radio.
Or to say, this broken radio was actually just a disguise for the black tech product!
In actuality, it was a mysterious piece of black technology.
A piece of black technology capable of predicting the future... that's pretty badass.
Fang Hao felt like he might wake up laughing in his sleep.
Something that was originally considered junk, suddenly transformed into a treasure.
Fang Hao took the radio from the corner and placed it in a prominent position next to his desk.
Since it was no longer junk, naturally, the treatment was different.
From the ignored corner to a conspicuous spot next to the table.
