The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 456 - 264: Speaking of Which, Now It’s Really Chinese New Year! (Please Subscribe)_2

"Brother Zhao, you’re the man! When can you teach me how to fish for torpedoes?"

Around Xiao Zhao there was also a crowd gathered, all watching the torpedo that had just been salvaged, astonished by Xiao Zhao’s capability.

"I... I... just happened to get lucky."

Surrounded and praised by so many, Xiao Zhao was still a little nervous and even began to stammer slightly.

After all, he was still young and had never seen such a scene, such a display.

All of a sudden, he had become the center of attention on the ship.

"Don’t be modest, Xiao Zhao."

"Brother Zhao, keep on fishing for more stuff later on."

With the Coast Guard joining in, the scene was indeed busier than usual.

Moreover, now that these Coast Guard members could also fish for torpedoes, it was obviously a relief for Fang Hao, so that not all the pressure was on him.

If people like Xiao Zhao and Xiao Pang could fish for things other than fish, then Fang Hao’s pressure could be reduced.

At least now it wasn’t just Fang Hao fighting single-handedly.

Although their current abilities were nowhere close to Fang Hao’s level, not even one-tenth.

But at least it was a good sign.

Xiao Zhao’s heart was gradually becoming firmer, and he secretly cheered himself on, hoping to fish up more things later on.

However... when he just fished up that torpedo, he almost exhausted himself to death.

He couldn’t pull it up on his own at all and had to rely on the combined efforts of many people to barely bring it aboard.

All of a sudden.

Xiao Zhao’s gaze turned towards Fang Hao.

He was nearly worn out from fishing up a torpedo, and that was with so many people helping.

But what about Fang Hao?

Keep in mind that Fang Hao fished up even bigger things, all by himself.

When he saw Fang Hao fishing up the torpedo so easily, he even had the illusion that the torpedo was a toy?

It wasn’t until now, after he had fished up a torpedo himself, that he could really feel the terror of Fang Hao.

It was unimaginable.

He took a deep breath, and his look towards Fang Hao was filled with much more admiration and respect.

And Xiao Zhao’s fishing up a torpedo seemed to have triggered a chain reaction.

Soon after, another Coast Guard member also fished up a torpedo.

Undoubtedly, these torpedoes all belonged to the Ohio-class nuclear submarines.

In addition to the Mushroom Egg, this submarine carried a good number of torpedoes.

After the nuclear submarine accident, these torpedoes were scattered all over the ocean floor.

However, compared to the harm of Mushroom Eggs, the danger of torpedoes was not so high.

Even if they explode, their power is ’limited’.

Unlike the Mushroom Egg, its power was truly catastrophic; if not handled properly, the risk was too great and even posed a significant threat to the coastal cities.

This was why they were tasked with dealing with the threat of Mushroom Eggs.

Fishing up these Mushroom Eggs was the only way to mitigate such risks.

And now another Coast Guard member fished up a torpedo, which also proved one thing.

Others could also fish up things other than fish.

As long as they could rub off some of Fang Hao’s luck, then they could fish up.

And to rub off Fang Hao’s luck, there was just one condition, to fish together with him, to form a team.

That’s how they could share the luck.

From Xiao Pang to Xiao Zhao, and then to the other Coast Guards.

This all proved that as long as you fish with Fang Hao, you could catch those things.

Captain Han’s mood at this moment was extremely excited; this was a complete confirmation of his speculations.

He made it!

The plans he proposed were strongly supported.

"It’s just unknown whether this luck is temporary or can be sustained over the long term."

Captain Han fell into contemplation.

This was another aspect he needed to consider.

If they could sustain this kind of luck long term, then they could ’manufacture’ these fishing squad members in bulk in the future.

But Captain Han felt that the probability of this happening was not high...

Perhaps once they left Fang Hao, such luck would disappear as well.

Regardless, it was definitely something to try later.

Now those Coast Guards who fished up the torpedoes, their names were all recorded, and separate arrangements would be made later.

While everyone’s attention was on the torpedoes that others had fished up, Fang Hao was still thinking about his own fishing.

He didn’t care about what others caught; what he cared about was... if these people could fish up torpedoes and such, would some of their fishing luck for fish also be shared with him?

That would only be fair.

Fang Hao thought to himself.

For him, as long as he could catch fish, he would be satisfied.

He still hasn’t given up on the idea of catching a fish, even dreaming about it.

Logically speaking, he should catch one now, right?

Please, let me catch a fish soon.

Nothing is more important than this.

Just as this thought crossed Fang Hao’s mind, his fishing rod moved.

In an instant, a force violently tugged at the rod.

Fang Hao immediately responded.

Damn, you kidding me?

Did it actually happen?

He tightly grasped the rod, not giving whatever was on the other end any chance to escape.

Regardless of whether it was a fish or not.

Now, his rod had hooked something; it was still unclear whether it was a fish or something else.

But with the disturbances coming from the sea, along with the different feel on the rod.

This made Fang Hao realize it was something unusual.

This time...

Perhaps what he caught was not just "something," but... very likely a fish.

Because he could feel the struggles transmitted through the rod, clearly indicating a living being.

Don’t panic.

Fang Hao didn’t let this immense joy cloud his mind; instead, he became even calmer.

If it really was a fish, he had to be extra careful and cautious to not let it slip away.

He had been let down a few times before.

Losing a fish was even more infuriating than not catching one at all.

That feeling, only Fang Hao could understand, was beyond uncomfortable.

He would rather not catch any fish than to catch them and let them escape.

And... now Fang Hao also had to worry about whether what he caught was a fish or another marine creature.

"It can’t be some other marine creature, right?"

"It’s about time I caught a fish, right?"

Fang Hao prayed in his heart.

No matter how tense and excited the atmosphere was, he still maintained his composure.

The commotion on Fang Hao’s side also caught the attention of others.

"Eh?"

"It seems like Brother Hao’s demeanor is a bit different this time."

Everyone also seemed to sense something different about Fang Hao’s expression.

"What did he catch this time?"

"By the looks of it, it seems to be something alive."

People could see that what was caught this time was different from the usual catches.

Whatever was caught this time was pulling on the rod.

This was clearly a sign of a living creature.

If it were anyone else, everyone would think it was a fish and just wonder what kind of fish it was.

But what Fang Hao caught... even if it was a living creature, people wouldn’t necessarily think it was a fish.

Because he had caught marine life before, more than once or twice.

Like turtles, whales... he had caught those.

So it was not yet certain that it was definitely a fish.

"But this time, I have a slightly different premonition," Xiao Pang muttered to himself.

He felt that what Fang Hao caught this time might be something different.

After Fang Hao caught something, the entire ship’s focus returned to him.

Fang Hao could be said to be the most special existence on the Coast Guard Ship; whatever he caught naturally became very extraordinary, and everyone’s expectations were higher.

When did what he caught not shock everyone?

"Hope it’s not some protected marine animal."

People also hoped that Fang Hao hadn’t caught a protected species.

"I think it’s fine as long as it’s not something strange."

A group of people now became spectators, waiting to see what he would catch.

Judging from the feel of it.

Fang Hao made a preliminary estimate; what he caught, this ’thing,’ seemed to be about a ton or two.

Could it be not a fish again?

Something so heavy probably wasn’t a fish.

Fang Hao’s heart sank once more.

Normal people don’t catch fish that heavy.
