The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 239 - 160: Is a Mermaid Considered Human or Fish? (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Inquiring online, it didn't take long for the post to disappear.

So the group of netizens still felt it was better not to catch anything during the livestream that might lead to it being shut down.

But.

The more this was the case, the more people wanted to catch something completely unexpected.

They wanted to stir things up.

Only then would it be more thrilling, more exciting.

The group of netizens was still looking forward to Fang Hao's performance, hoping he could catch something different.

Ideally… something that would shock everyone.

That would be awesome.

"Hey hey, do you guys think there are mermaids underwater, can we try catching a mermaid to see?"

Some netizens even fantasized about catching a mermaid.

"If we really catch a mermaid, then is it… a fish or a human?"

"Mermaid? Fishman? Uh… this."

It seemed to really stump everyone for a moment, as it was hard to decide whether it was a fish or something else.

It's a special kind of creature.

"If it's a fish, can you eat it? How's the meat?" This guy was truly a foodie, even eyeing the mermaid.

"Um..."

"Dude, can you stop thinking about eating? This is a mermaid."

"You sure you could eat it if it has a human upper body and a fish tail?"

"If we're not eating it, can we use it then? At least it has an upper body."

The interests got even more peculiar.

"…"

"Damn, why fish for a mermaid when you could hook a nuclear submarine? Now that would be thrilling, probably make the whole world go crazy!"

That was actually true.

If you really caught a nuclear submarine, the whole world would be shocked.

A nuclear submarine, that's a major weapon, a strategic asset.

Lurking in the ocean depths all year round, it possesses tremendous deterrent power.

Imagine if someone managed to haul it up, the entire world would surely be astounded.

That's too thrilling.

The more they thought about it, the more stimulating it became, and instantly, the netizens in the livestream got excited.

They began to imagine the scene of catching a nuclear submarine.

But whether it could be caught or not was still a long shot.

Catching a nuclear submarine isn't that easy; it's hard enough to even spot one, let alone catch one.

If it were that easy to catch, it wouldn't be a major weapon in the arsenal of nations.

"Don't think too much, let's just see how the host performs tonight."

"I think the host won't have a quiet night, he's still going to catch something."

…

On the boat.

Fang Hao and the others had already started fishing.

The goal this time was mainly to catch tuna and deep-sea ribbon fish.

Of course, the main target was bluefin tuna.

Bluefin tuna is known as the Rolls-Royce of sashimi, extremely valuable.

Not something you could compare with the yellowfin tuna they used to catch.

The value of the two is worlds apart.

Just so happened he was feeling peckish, and if he could catch a tuna, he could immediately enjoy it right there.

Freshly caught, freshly eaten; absolutely the freshest.

It would satisfy both his cravings and his desire to catch fish.

Two birds with one stone.

It was a rare tuna boom, and missing out on this opportunity would be a real shame.

He definitely didn't want to come all this way for nothing.

If they come all this way and catch nothing, it would all be for naught.

Fang Hao definitely would not settle for that.

With this massive surge of fish in the sea, this was the best chance.

He refused to believe that he would come up empty-handed this time!

With Captain Old Mo, a professional fish spotter leading the way, and himself well-prepared, how could he possibly fail to catch anything.

At that moment, the sea was not too choppy.

The weather was also fairly nice.

If they caught fish today, it would certainly be a day to remember.

"I don't know why, but I'm really excited today."

"So I think, I'm definitely going to catch a fish this time."

"Maybe I'll even be the first to catch one!"

Fang Hao was brimming with confidence.

"Heh, the host is at it again."

However, the netizens in the livestream threw cold water on it.

"The more confident the host is, the more at ease we feel."

"It's stable, the host won't catch a fish again this time."

Everyone was quite calm.

Such a scene, it felt like they had been through countless times before.

Everyone had gotten used to it.

Whether he could catch a fish or not, they'd know what it was when he actually caught something.

Fang Hao was accustomed to the group in the livestream room and did not care about their mockery.

After all, facts speak for themselves; catching a fish would be the best comeback.

Let's see who will mock whom then.

"Right now, there are a lot of fish nearby, definitely the best time to fish," the Captain added.

He brought everyone to this place, where there were plenty of fish and few people.

Unlike other spots crowded with several fishing boats—what's the point of fishing there?

They could be influenced by the others.

How could they fish there?

But now it was different, their boat was the only one nearby, undisturbed, perfect for a peaceful fishing session.

"Hehe, Captain, don't worry. If I don't catch at least a few hundred pounds today, I won't believe it," Old Gao was also very confident.

Just then,

Fang Hao's fishing rod began to move.

"Look, I told you, I knew I'd be the first to catch a fish tonight."

Fang Hao smiled immediately upon feeling the movement of the rod.

He truly felt the activity on his rod this time as the bobber sank down into the sea.

Plus, judging from the touch coming from the rod, there was definitely something fish-like below.

He couldn't be wrong about that.

Whether it was a fish or something else, he could still make that judgment.

"Stop showing off, host!"

"Don't celebrate too early."

Upon seeing how happy Fang Hao was, the group in the livestream room instantly became unhappy.

It was like the law of conservation of energy: when he was happy, they were not.

So, they prayed that Fang Hao would not catch a fish,

or rather, that there would be a slight 'accident' during the process of pulling it up.

"Maybe there's a sea turtle or a whale down there?"

When he saw that comment, Fang Hao actually tensed up.

He was truly afraid.

If he caught either of those again, he would break down.

"It shouldn't be so unlucky."

Fang Hao comforted himself in his heart, also praying he would not catch either of those things.

"Hmm? It's quite spry."

As Fang Hao watched the fishing line being stretched out again, the creature at the deep end darting about, his heart lifted.

This vibrant feeling, that definitely wasn't a sea turtle.

Sea turtles weren't that fast.

As for a whale… probably not either.

Judging from the weight transmitted through his hands, it didn't seem like a whale.

So, it really might be a fish.

"Could it be Tuna?"

Fang Hao's heart swelled with joy.

The others on the boat were also attentive to Fang Hao's progress,

equally anticipating his successful start.

It would surely make for a smooth night.

However, just then.

Fang Hao suddenly felt a strong tug on the fishing line below.

It was as if something even bigger had suddenly grabbed the line, pulling it instantly.

At that moment, Fang Hao felt a bit worried.

No way… was there a bigger fish passing by, possibly having eaten the catch?

Fang Hao had experienced this before: once when fishing, he ended up with only a fish head.

Definitely not.

Fang Hao prayed in his heart, hoping not to end up with just a fish head.

That feeling was worse than losing a fish or not catching any at all.

Realizing something was wrong, Fang Hao hurriedly reeled in his line.

But he hadn't pulled in two meters before he discovered the line was stuck.

Immovable.

As if the other end had hooked onto something massive, something very heavy.

Fang Hao wasn't clear about the situation beneath the sea at that moment, temporarily unable to guess if it was snagged on the bottom or some other scenario.

He couldn't even be sure whether the hook's other end was in the big fish or somewhere else.

Hard to judge.

The situation under the sea just now was too complicated.

He could only be sure that what he initially caught was a fish.

But after that… he wasn't certain.

Maybe his fish was eaten by a bigger fish, and now the hook was on the bigger fish's side?

That was a reasonable guess.

But what kind of fish was this, so heavy!
