The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 312 - 196: Feigning Retreat to Capture? (Please Subscribe)_2

After arriving at the new fishing spot, Fang Hao used a card to increase his Qi Fortune value, expending one card to boost his luck by ten points.

This effect could last throughout the entire day.

Having used this card, Fang Hao felt slightly more at peace.

He believed that with his current luck, he shouldn’t reel in any more dead bodies.

Otherwise, he’d really be cursed.

Why on earth did he have to keep catching dead bodies of all things?

Now, he couldn’t shake off his reputation as a Corpse Fisher.

It was incontrovertible!

He gave up struggling.

The nicknames like Corpse Fishing Immortal, he feared, would stick with him for life.

As soon as he started the livestream… the overwhelming barrage of "Greetings, Corpse Fishing Immortal" and "Corpse Fishing Immortal’s mana knows no bounds" filled the screen incessantly.

The moment Fang Hao began broadcasting, those were the only comments flying by.

After almost several minutes, other comments slowly started to appear, concerning the previous dead body.

Because after hooking the dead body, Fang Hao had turned off the livestream.

The viewers in the chat room had no idea about the specifics, nor the subsequent developments of the case, even less that the case had already been cracked.

"Streamer, what happened to that dead body you caught? Was their identity determined?"

"Is it another homicide case?"

"Sealed in a cement-filled oil drum, definitely a corpse disposal case, but no idea what kind."

"It’s probably very hard to investigate a sea-dumped body like that."

"Really tough, with no evidence, it’s hard to find any leads."

Everyone felt that the case concerning this dead body would turn into a cold case.

Because it seemed too difficult to crack.

Nobody could think of where to begin looking for clues.

How do you even start looking for clues in a situation like this?

They even thought that it could be impossible to even identify the body.

"Could the body belong to a foreigner?"

After all, the surrounding neighbors had the same skin color as themselves, it could be possible.

That it wasn’t a national.

This was also the direction many viewers were speculating.

After all, seeing reports of people illegally entering our waters on the internet is quite common.

There was also a definite probability there.

"Streamer, can you disclose any information?"

And the only one who could answer their questions was Fang Hao.

Just then, Fang Hao had cast his fishing line into the water and saw their questions.

"Stop guessing, everyone."

Fang Hao then began to slowly reveal the truth.

"This body was actually one of our undercover police officers."

His voice also grew somber, because talking about Li Lang came with a sense of sorrow.

"With his sacrifice, he provided us with clues and evidence that led to the successful capture of the crime syndicate."

"Ah?"

"It was an undercover officer from our side…"

The atmosphere in the livestream suddenly became much more serious, and the jesters instantly diminished.

It seemed people knew when jokes were appropriate, and when they were not.

Now was definitely not the time for jokes.

"A salute to the hero!"

"Who says only those standing in the light are heroes? These undercover officers are even greater!"

"Tears in my eyes."

The mood in the livestream also turned somber.

It took a long while before the viewers recovered from the impact.

No one mentioned catching dead bodies again.

Even the comments teasing Fang Hao as the Corpse Fishing Immortal had greatly decreased.

Without the jeers of the trolls in the livestream,

Fang Hao could finally fish in peace.

He continued his fishing.

At this moment, he had already used a Qi Fortune-enhancing card, though its effectiveness was unclear.

After all, luck was invisible; he didn’t know his current fortune and could only guess.

But with an additional ten points of luck, Fang Hao trusted that his fortunes wouldn’t be too dire.

If he still ended up fishing a dead body again, then he really would be out of patience.

Perhaps his inner plea was heard, because his luck was indeed not that appalling this time.

After about twenty minutes of fishing, Fang Hao finally caught something.

This was the first item he reeled in since going out to sea again.

This is... a probe detector.

Right.

They had fished up a probe detector, which was the task of their sea expedition.

In any case, catching this thing was better than catching corpses or other stuff.

It counted as completing the task.

The pressure in Fang Hao’s heart finally eased somewhat.

Upon seeing Fang Hao catch the probe detector, Captain Yu also let out a slight sigh of relief.

He felt that he had been too tense, too sensitive.

Look, this time things went smoothly without any major incidents.

With Fang Hao beginning to catch probe detectors, it was a good start.

He just hoped Fang Hao would catch more probe detectors to fulfill the mission assigned by the higher-ups.

Seeing Fang Hao catch the probe detector, the viewers in the live streaming room also revived their spirits, stepping out of their previous subdued mood.

"It’s starting, it’s starting."

"The streamer has caught the first probe detector."

Everyone knew of Fang Hao’s ability to catch probe detectors; last time he had nearly caught twenty.

So, whether he could break through twenty on this sea trip had also become a matter of interest.

This probe detector had been placed by Inoue.

Inoue had secretly placed too many of these small probe detectors in this sea area, because the detectors were not expensive, so a lot were deployed.

Dozens at a time.

Year after year, the numbers added up.

Although some of these devices were salvaged every year, compared to the number deployed, it was just a fraction.

Now that Fang Hao had the ability to catch the probe detectors, he could make good use of it.

See how many he could catch.

Sweep this sea area clean!

Fang Hao was happy to cooperate with such a task and contribute his part.

Moreover, fishing on such a large ship, with room and board provided, not having to worry about safety issues...

This kind of treatment, who else could ask for it?

However, if it could be a ten-thousand-ton Coast Guard ship or an even larger aircraft carrier... that might be even better.

After catching the first probe detector, Fang Hao also felt a lot more settled in his heart.

At least his luck wasn’t bad enough to continue catching corpses.

Adding ten points of luck, he had managed to bring his Qi Fortune level back to a normal state.

...

Jinghai.

In a high-end apartment.

A slender figure lazily reclined on the sofa.

"I wonder when he will return from this sea trip."

Unknowingly, Fang Hao had been at sea for over ten hours.

Qiao Mei started to muse.

Her time was rather pressing; Inoue had asked her to take him down as soon as possible to prevent any complications.

But now, with Fang Hao out fishing at sea, even if she wanted to expedite the process, she was out of options.

She didn’t understand much about what was happening after he went to sea, it seemed like there was nowhere to start.

That’s right.

Suddenly, Qiao Mei’s eyes brightened.

Why not enter his live streaming room and watch, since he’s a Fishing Streamer, and watch more of his streams?

Perhaps she could gain more understanding.

Her current knowledge about Fang Hao was limited to some written information and their two meetings.

As for the rest, she didn’t know much.

Including his personality, temper, likes, and dislikes, her understanding was quite superficial.

She needed further contact.

And the most accessible thing right now was his live stream.

Perhaps she could observe him through the live stream.

Thinking this, Qiao Mei immediately searched for Fang Hao’s live streaming room and clicked to enter.

Just in time to see Fang Hao catch the second probe detector.

"This..."

Although she knew Fang Hao could catch some strange things, she was still a bit surprised when she saw him catch it with her own eyes.

It seemed like the first time to witness such a magical scene.

This increased her curiosity, it seemed somewhat interesting, different from ordinary fishing.

This was the same mindset most viewers had when they first entered Fang Hao’s live streaming room, and then they stayed to watch.

Immersed in the live stream, watching Fang Hao continue fishing, they gradually grew fond of the atmosphere in the room.

Meanwhile, Fang Hao was unaware that Qiao Mei was already in the live stream room watching him "fishing."
