The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 403 - 238 The Value of the Great Ming Treasure Ship (Please Subscribe)
"Fishing Dude Jumps into the Sea to Commit Suicide!"
Initially, that was the topic online, and everyone thought that Fang Hao had indeed jumped into the sea to end his own life.
The internet was exceptionally abuzz.
The topic quickly surged into the hot trends.
Given Fang Hao’s popularity, even the slightest bit of news would cause a significant stir.
At first, everyone indeed thought that Fang Hao had jumped into the sea to commit suicide, and they were all wondering whether this was a rumor or someone spreading false information.
Then they flocked to Fang Hao’s livestream to check out the situation, causing his viewership to skyrocket.
Some were concerned, some curious, and others suspected it was a publicity stunt.
But what they witnessed next was a sight so shocking it defied convention.
It blew everyone’s minds.
"Holy shit! Qinggong!!!"
Everyone stared dumbfounded as Fang Hao leaped out of the sea, soaring high into the air.
This was in the sea, not on the ground.
Even on land, being able to jump so effortlessly to such a height was no ordinary feat.
Other than Qinggong, what else could it be?
He was literally treading upon the water.
Many knew Fang Hao had trained in martial arts and was quite skilled.
So, the idea of him knowing Qinggong seemed to make sense.
Thus, the online topic swiftly shifted from the supposed suicide to a discussion about Qinggong.
Reeling from the shock, they even forgot about the initial issue of Fang Hao being underwater for so long.
Fang Hao’s performance had dramatically reshaped their perceptions.
"There’s indeed a master hidden amongst the common folk."
"Host, do you take on disciples?"
"Host, I want to learn martial arts and Qinggong from you!"
"Master, your disciple bows to you~"
The whole vibe changed instantly, with many netizens now eager to learn martial arts from Fang Hao, especially Qinggong.
They all wanted to learn some cool moves.
The livestream chat was also filled with such comments and barrage of messages.
For the moment, nobody asked Fang Hao the reason behind his initial plunge into the sea.
It definitely wasn’t suicide.
Given Fang Hao’s current state, he certainly didn’t look like someone who had attempted to end his life.
Once Xiao Pang had changed his clothes, he then asked Fang Hao about what happened before.
"Fang bro, why did you jump into the sea?"
Not understanding the reason, Xiao Pang wouldn’t have been able to sleep peacefully.
It really didn’t make sense – just moments before, Fang Hao had dived into the sea seemingly out of the blue.
Everyone thought maybe Fang Hao was being impulsive, but now it seemed to be quite a different matter.
"I just went down to cool off, dive a bit, and to see if that fish that got away was still there," Fang Hao was still somewhat irritated.
He indeed just wanted to dive in to cool off and to see if the big fish that had snapped his fishing rod was still in the sea.
He was curious about what that big fish looked like.
After all, it was a fish he’d hooked only moments before it escaped; he couldn’t just let it go like that.
"Is that it?"
Xiao Pang was taken aback.
He could never have guessed that was the reason.
Had he known it was for this reason, he wouldn’t have followed and jumped into the sea.
He could have lost his life in there!
Fortunately, Captain was quick to react and threw him a lifebuoy, which saved him from harm.
Otherwise... while Fang Hao would have been unscathed, he would have been the one in trouble.
Then the whole village would be attending his banquet.
"Yes."
Fang Hao nodded.
Then Fang Hao gestured to Captain to call the police.
"Call the police?"
"Why call the police?"
Now both Captain and Xiao Pang found it quite strange that they would need to call the police for no apparent reason.
The online viewers were equally baffled.
"I just discovered a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea."
"It’s a Great Ming Treasure Ship from the Ming Dynasty."
With his astonishing revelation, Fang Hao shared about the Great Ming Treasure Ship he discovered underwater.
As soon as these words were spoken, they stunned everyone.
A Great Ming Treasure Ship... found at the bottom of the sea?
Holy shit!!
After such a commotion, to end up with such an incredible discovery?
My god.
That fortune was just unspeakable.
Given the value of a sunken ship from the Ming Dynasty, one could imagine the worth contained within.
People stared slack-jawed at Fang Hao in the livestream, unable to believe he had made such a monumental find.
So was it that Fang Hao had spent so much time underwater because he found this Ming Dynasty sunken ship?
"The host’s luck... I really don’t know what to say."
"Maybe this is what they mean by ’Surviving a great disaster brings great fortune’."
"Did the host not get into any trouble when he jumped into the sea earlier, and so this is his reward?"
"This is just too awesome."
A Great Ming Treasure Ship, its value was beyond words.
People felt a bit dazed.
Just as Captain had connected with the Coast Guard on the phone, it didn’t take long for the Coast Guard’s ship to arrive at the scene.
Actually, that distress call was made right after Fang Hao had jumped into the sea.
Upon receiving a call claiming Fang Hao was about to ’commit suicide by jumping into the sea’, the Coast Guard was thrown into utter chaos.
Given Fang Hao’s importance, there was no need for further discussion.
They immediately headed towards the incident site to mount a rescue.
But what they hadn’t expected was that, just as they were about to arrive, another call came in with news that Fang Hao was alright but that he had discovered a sunken ship in the sea.
The situation had shifted from preparing to save someone from a suicide attempt to finding a sunken ship, and all this had transpired in just 20 to 30 minutes.
However, this incidentally saved them the journey time, making it the fastest response time possible.
Just two minutes after the report, they saw a massive ten-thousand-ton vessel arrive on the scene.
