The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 170 - 126: Moving, alive, around a hundred jin! (Asking for subscriptions)_2
Again hauling somebody up like this, even the most unflappable person would break down.
Fang Hao himself did not wish for such a thing to happen.
He truly wanted to catch a fish, not something like a diver.
Definitely don't want to catch a diver.
During the reel-in process, Fang Hao prayed internally.
The thing he caught was heavy, nearly the weight of an adult male.
That was what worried Fang Hao.
Because by the feel of it, it was too much like the diver he'd caught before.
"What on earth could it be?"
Right now, the viewers in the live-streaming room were also guessing what it could be down there.
They had already ruled out two options before.
"Could it be a diver?"
"It shouldn't be a diver...divers generally don't dive that deep."
"So, is it a detector?"
"If it's another detector, what kind of option is that?"
"It should probably be counted as a weapon."
Everyone was analyzing the outcomes.
At this point, there were only fifty meters of line left to reel in, and it would be up soon.
At this time, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tense.
All eyes were on Fang Hao to see what he would reel in.
Everyone's attention was captivated.
So tense.
What on earth could it be?
Thirty meters deep.
Twenty meters deep.
The weight in hand had slightly lessened.
But it was still heavy, weighing over a hundred pounds.
Gradually, Fang Hao could see a shadow emerging on the surface of the sea.
Flat and wide.
Huh?
Not a diver.
On seeing this shadow, Fang Hao immediately confirmed that what he caught was not a diver.
Not a diver, that was a relief; his heart eased a tiny bit.
His Mechanical Eye granted him better vision than others, allowing him to recognize the underwater object faster than others.
It definitely wasn't a diver, then.
If not a diver, what could it be?
Fang Hao also looked towards the sea surface, waiting to bring the thing up.
Until... he saw a large sea turtle about to surface, his face froze in astonishment.
This... a sea turtle?
He had been worried for so long, fishing for so long, always concerned it might be a diver, only to end up catching a sea turtle.
Finally, it wasn't something strange.
This sea turtle was, after all, a creature from the sea.
This was a significant improvement.
"It's a sea turtle!"
When the sea turtle completely surfaced, Xiao Pang and Old Ye both saw it and immediately shouted it out.
Now the viewers in the live room also knew what it was.
"This time we actually caught a sea turtle."
"Oh dear... it's not a weapon."
"Does this sea turtle count as a fish?"
"Definitely not fish. Sea turtles belong to the order Testudines, family Cheloniidae, genus Chelonia, does it sound like a fish? There's no 'fish' in the name, it generally isn't."
"But grouper doesn't have..."
"There are some with 'fish' in their names that aren't fish either, like wife cakes don't contain wives."
"Damn!"
The viewers in the live room ended up arguing among themselves.
The atmosphere exploded first.
"Wait, isn't the sea turtle a second-level protected species?"
"Protected animal? Heh, then the choice should be F!"
"I picked it!!!"
People who placed their bets on option F immediately rejoiced.
"It's changed, now it's not second-level, it's a first-level protected animal," someone corrected.
But these were minor issues.
Whether it's second-level or first-level, both are protected animals, so it's the F option.
This made the viewers who chose this option unspeakably happy.
And with this round, there was only one correct option, so there wouldn't be too many people contending for the hundred lucky spots.
This counts as a little surprise, then.
Naturally, they were thrilled.
Next up, let's see how Fang Hao is going to deal with this sea turtle.
"Should be setting it free, right?"
"If he doesn't release it, the host will have to go in."
Catching a protected animal like this by accident is okay, as long as you're not intentionally capturing, selling, possessing, or eating them, it's generally not a problem.
But if you want to keep it for yourself, that's illegal.
Not to mention if you were to eat it.
Fang Hao is naturally aware of these rules; he's the owner of the Ocean Life Treasure and has the Mechanical Eye. He definitely wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
After laboriously bringing the sea turtle up from the ocean floor, Fang Hao immediately removed the hook from the turtle's body.
Once the hook was out, the sea turtle became docile.
But Fang Hao didn't release the sea turtle right away, instead, he kept it on the boat.
"Huh?"
Everyone was taken aback upon seeing this.
"What's the host planning to do?"
"Isn't he going to release it?"
"Fang, you can't go down the wrong path."
"Fang, you can't be having other thoughts. If you touch this turtle, you're going in."
While everyone usually teased Fang Hao, making various jokes at his expense, acting as his detractors,
they were still very concerned for Fang Hao at times like these.
They certainly didn't want to see Fang Hao get in trouble.
If he got in trouble, they would no longer have such an enjoyable fishing livestream to watch.
Under everyone's worried gazes, they saw Fang Hao pick up a shovel, a small hammer, a knife, and even an axe!
The appearance of the axe raised the anxiety levels in everyone's hearts.
"The host must have lost his mind; he's not going to kill the sea turtle, is he?"
"We're doomed... our streaming room will become evidence of the host harming a protected animal!"
Some viewers couldn't bear to watch any longer, fearing Fang Hao might actually slaughter the sea turtle.
Then stew it and eat it.
Soft-shelled turtle soup is very nutritious.
But that doesn't mean you can eat everything.
This sea turtle is so big; if used to make soup… no, wait, if you even think about making soup, you'd end up in jail right after.
Now, everyone had forgotten about everything else; they couldn't even care about guessing the giveaway.
They were all in a great rush.
"Muscle Bro, Old Ye, you guys need to stop the host, or you'll end up in trouble too."
Their hopes were now pinned on Xiao Pang and Old Ye, hoping they could prevent Fang Hao from harming the turtle.
But just then,
Fang Hao handed a shovel to both Xiao Pang and Old Ye, one each.
While they were still confused, Fang Hao knelt down, placed the other tools on the ground, and patted the Turtle Shell on the turtle's back.
"Come, help me out here."
"It's over..."
Everyone's heart raced.
"Now Muscle Bro and Old Ye are going to be accomplices."
Some couldn't bear to watch anymore, even covering their eyes.
While some reached for their phones, ready to call the police.
However, some astute viewers noticed something different.
"This is to..."
"Help me clean off these barnacles."
Fang Hao said.
He wanted Xiao Pang and Old Ye to help clean barnacles off the turtle's back.
When everyone heard Fang Hao's words, they were all stunned.
???
So he's cleaning barnacles? Not killing the turtle?
Did we misunderstand?

Those viewers who had closed their eyes also opened them slowly, puzzlingly staring at the stream.
Some let out a sigh of relief, putting down their phones they were ready to use for calling the police.
At this moment, everyone also realized their mistake.
Fang Hao was simply intending to help the turtle clean off barnacles.
Barnacles are quite harmful to turtles, adding to their weight, leading to overburden, sometimes preventing them from coming up for air or feeding properly.
Helping clean the barnacles can relieve the turtle of this pain.
When Fang Hao approached the turtle, he touched its back.
The turtle seemed to sense Fang Hao's goodwill and did not struggle.
Instead, it lay obediently on the deck.
Then Fang Hao started cleaning the barnacles off the sea turtle.
There weren't many barnacles on this sea turtle, making them relatively easy to clean.
"When cleaning the barnacles, why do I feel so... satisfied..."
Watching Fang Hao clean the barnacles off the Turtle Shell, the viewers actually felt a sense of satisfaction.
