The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

"Please remove the word 'feeling'."

"..."

Fang Hao caught another detector, stirring up excitement once more in the live broadcast room.

The atmosphere exploded.

It was incredibly powerful!

Catching detectors as easily as one might fish in a pond.

It seemed like there was no difficulty at all.

No one knew if it was the detectors finding Fang Hao's hook or if Fang Hao's fish hook had an auto-targeting feature.

In any case, he could always catch the strangest things.

For Fang Hao catching another detector, Xiao Pang and Lao Gao on the ship appeared to have grown used to it.

They didn't find it surprising.

Sometimes, they even had the illusion that if I do it, I can do it too.

After all, watching Fang Hao made it look so effortless, anyone would think they could do it too.

But when they tried to fish, they found they didn't know where to start.

How to fish?

They had no idea if there was anything down there.

Randomly fishing.

This was absolutely the pinnacle of Jiang Tai Gong fishing methods.

This kind of fishing... likely only Fang Hao in the whole world could do it.

"No one can learn to fish like Brother Hao."

"Fishing is more relaxing."

Xiao Pang remarked with a sense of wonder.

It was no longer just a technical issue, it was metaphysical.

"You want to learn too?" Lao Gao couldn't help but interject.

"Of course I've thought about it."

Having been with Fang Hao for so long, it would be lying to say they weren't interested in learning.

But Xiao Pang was self-aware, knowing this was something one couldn't possibly learn.

Because... even Fang Hao himself hadn't figured out what was going on.

On Fang Hao's part, it was just like normal fishing, with no difference.

It's just that when it comes to luck...

You can learn skills, but without luck, what can you do?

Better not to think about these things.

"Hao bro, it's time for dinner."

Xiao Pang called out to Fang Hao at this time, preparing to summon him for dinner.

Tonight's dinner was lavish, with tuna they had caught earlier.

This was bluefin tuna!

The Rolls-Royce of fish.

Although they had eaten it before, the atmosphere was quite different with so many people dining together now.

Besides tuna, there were plenty of other delicious foods.

Prepared very generously.

This was specially arranged by Captain Zhou, to welcome Fang Hao and his arrival, and to thank him for the great help he had provided this time.

Just look at this time, catching so many detectors and also the unmanned submersible; the merits were truly immense!

The headquarters had even made a special call to commend them verbally, and once they returned, there certainly would be specific rewards.

Tonight's dinner was also a banquet they had prepared, a joint civilian and Coast Guard banquet on the ship.

To get the atmosphere going.

Fang Hao was also preparing to end the broadcast and wrap up today's live stream as the meal was being prepared.

Today, he caught thirteen detectors, a not-too-shabby haul. Tonight he planned to rest well, and continue fishing after waking up tomorrow.

After bidding farewell to the live stream viewers, Fang Hao started packing up his fishing rod and gear, storing everything in the cabin.

Captain Zhou had arranged accommodations for them.

Once everything was put away, it was time to start the dinner.

Xiao Pang and the others were already famished; although they had snacked earlier, the rate at which they burned calories on the ship was unknowably faster than usual, and they quickly became hungry.

Primarily because they hardly rested on the ship, so they got hungry quickly.

When they saw a large table full of food, they were immediately amazed.

So lavish!

And the cooking was delicious too, even without tasting, they could smell the strong aroma.

A feast for the eyes, nose, and mouth!

"Thank you for catching this big tuna; it's allowed our Coast Guard personnel to taste this fish together."

Captain Zhou expressed his gratitude to Fang Hao and his team for catching this big tuna.

It was Lao Gao who caught the fish.

Of course, Fang Hao also contributed a part; he was the one who pulled it up.

Only then could everyone enjoy it.

"Captain Zhou, you're too kind. It's just a fish after all, not a big deal,"

Lao Gao said with a smile.

"Today, us all being here is also a kind of fate, so let us raise our cups of tea in place of liquor and have a toast together."

Captain Zhou lifted his cup, and everyone else followed suit.

Aside from those on duty, everyone else was here for the meal, and almost everyone was present.

The atmosphere was very good.

"Additionally, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Fang."

"He has done us a great favor this time by catching so many detectors, resolving a hidden danger in our sea area."

"Over the years, those outsiders have often come to our waters to place these things, which are hard to guard against."

"Although we have put a lot of effort into dealing with this, the results haven't been very good."

After all... the ocean is vast, and to say nothing else, just this sea area... is also incredibly expansive.

Even if they were to patrol 24 hours non-stop, it's not possible to guard this area airtight.

The sea isn't like land, where surveillance is easier.

For things on the seabed, it's very difficult to detect them without the aid of special equipment.

"Although there are still quite a few of these detectors underwater, I believe that with Mr. Fang around, these detectors will eventually all be cleared."

Seeing Captain Zhou praise him so highly made Fang Hao somewhat embarrassed.

To clear all of them was probably not realistic.

Just like Captain Zhou mentioned, this sea area is too vast, and no one knows exactly how many detectors and other surveillance devices are under there.

"Well... I can only say I'll do my best."

Right now, Fang Hao could only do his best; he himself couldn't guarantee that he could catch all the detectors.

Don't be fooled by the thirteen detectors he had caught recently; he still wasn't sure how he caught them.

It was all luck.

Without that luck, perhaps he wouldn't be able to catch any more.

It might happen.

"It's okay, don't feel any pressure, just do as you normally would."

Captain Zhou understood this as well, so he didn't put too much pressure on Fang Hao.

Although he really wanted to catch everything under the sea, he also knew it wasn't very realistic.

"By the way."

"I see Mr. Fang is much stronger than the average person, and his skills are also impressive. Are any of you interested in sparring with Mr. Fang?"

Captain Zhou looked at his capable subordinates and was struck by an idea.

He had this thought during the day but hadn't the time, so he took advantage of the dinner to bring it up.

His subordinates were all retired from the Marine Corps, and one of them was even a member of the Xiao Long Assault Team.

"I'll give it a try." A fit looking Coast Guard member stood up.

He was the one retired from the Xiao Long Assault Team.

He had already noticed that Fang Hao's skills were unusual and was stirred with the idea of a challenge.

"This... might not be a good idea."

Although Fang Hao wanted to test his skills, he was still afraid of hurting someone.

He was very aware of his own strength; ordinary people were no match for him.

Last time, the frogman he subdued on the island had his wrist twisted and broken.

He was afraid that he might get carried away and use too much force.

"It's fine, we'll just spar a little and stop when a point is made."

Captain Zhou just wanted to see Fang Hao's skills and wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

"Right, Brother Hao, let Captain Zhou and his men witness your Grapple skills!"

Xiao Pang said excitedly.

He had practiced Grapple with Fang Hao and knew how strong he was.

He also wanted to see what it would look like if Fang Hao sparred with them.

His interest was suddenly piqued.

"Well... okay then."

"We'll just have a casual spar."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he agreed in the end.

Seeing that they had agreed, everyone cleared a space in the middle for them to spar.
