The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 362 - 219: Encounter with a Fishing Boat Thief (Subscribe Please)_2

They have recruited many formidable fishermen, or those with some special luck, and formed a team.

This team is further divided into many sub-teams, each going fishing in the form of a small unit.

This is one such small squad.

These people form fishing sub-teams, dispersed across various marine areas for fishing.

This particular squad was sent here to poach and to verify whether the location impacts fishing success.

This is a new trial.

Since they’re all aboard fishing boats, they have an excuse even if they’re caught. frёewebηovel.cѳm

However, the fishing results aren’t good; since setting out to sea, besides catching fish, they haven’t caught anything unusual.

Their fishing yield has been very good.

Quite bountiful.

This is exactly the opposite of Fang Hao.

Fang Hao can catch anything except fish.

Whereas these people can catch all kinds of fish but can’t catch anything else.

If they were just ordinary fishermen going out to sea, such a huge catch would definitely be a cause for celebration.

But their goal is to catch planes, shipwrecks, treasures—so they are rather unhappy.

Fish are not their target.

So, no matter how much fish they catch, they won’t be happy.

"Damn, another rockfish caught."

"We’ve been eating fish until we’re sick of it in the past few days."

"When can we finally catch a shipwreck."

"Or even a detector would be okay."

That’s what they really want; they just want to be like Fang Hao.

Nevertheless, they’ve only learned the superficial aspects, knowing only that Fang Hao can catch such things at sea but not how to catch them.

"Could it be that there’s something wrong with our fishing methods?"

They speculate that maybe their methods are incorrect.

They can’t think of any other reasons.

"It can’t be possible, I watched those videos countless times before setting out, I’ve learnt everything from expressions to various actions, but the result... not only did I get none of those things but even the fish didn’t bite."

One mentioned that they even completely mimicked Fang Hao’s fishing style, yet in the end, didn’t catch a single fish.

"I also don’t think it’s our methods that are wrong, but rather there are some crucial points we haven’t figured out yet."

"I wonder how the other squads are doing."

"Captain, why don’t you contact another squad?"

At everyone’s request, the squad leader began to use the communicator on the boat to contact others in different squads.

"This is Squad Thirteen, how are you guys doing?"

"Squad Eight says they’ve caught only fish and nothing else so far."

"Squad Four managed to catch a couple piles of marine garbage."

"..."

The people from these squads, aside from catching fish, have only caught marine trash.

They haven’t even seen a shadow of anything else.

It’s imaginable how difficult it is to catch other things.

Definitely not as simple as just wanting to catch them.

"If only we could capture Fang Hao, then we could take him back for a study, dissection..."

"What are you thinking, damn it, he’s protected by the Coast Guard, how could he be easily captured. Plus, I heard that high-ups are trying to recruit him."

"Right now, he’s definitely an S-class key figure for the upper echelons."

"That means once he joins our Cherry Blossom group, he’ll be one of us. Maybe he’ll share the secret of catching those things with us and then we could soar to great heights."

"Doesn’t that mean we are just substitutes?"

"If it’s really as substitutes, it would still be valuable, but the fear is that..."

The conversation wasn’t finished, but actually, even without saying it, everyone understood.

These people are really just an experiment.

Merely to find someone like Fang Hao who can catch anything so special.

Fang Hao’s ability is indeed astonishing.

Not just Squad Thirteen, other squads haven’t caught anything else either, only fish.

All being masters at fishing, catching fish is far too simple and easy for them.

But here, it doesn’t really matter.

Because what they want isn’t just pure fishing ability.

It’s the extended abilities that come from fishing ability.

The ability to fish for everything, that’s what matters most.

Not just domestically, but other regions have also successively formed special ’Fishing Teams’.

It’s just that these regions went too far, secretly sending a bunch of people to infiltrate our waters to fish, just to test whether it’s the location affecting them, or individual capability differences.

The Coast Guard was the first to set up a special ’Fishing Team’.

They also have the largest number of people.

The squads formed even amount to twenty-five.

There was no choice, too many people signed up.

After selecting most of them and eliminating a large portion, only this few remained.

But even with so few, the number is still sizable.

Numerous teams, after brief training, followed the fishing boats out to sea to accumulate experience.

Initially, they didn’t expect to catch anything right away; it needs attempts, it requires continual accumulation.

This is what the Coast Guard believed.

So they didn’t put too much pressure on these teams.

These people, after going out to sea, also started fishing.

Most of the people were trying, while a few... took this opportunity to enjoy a good fishing session at government expense.

Such opportunities are rare, a chance to save a lot of money for themselves.

The cost of going out to sea for fishing is really high.

This time, with the official formation of such fishing teams, they were naturally excited, initially signing up with this mindset.

For these fishers, following Fang Hao in fishing for all sorts of bizarre things, that’s just foolish.

How could that be possible?

Anyway, some people don’t believe it.

But why they still decisively signed up, is because all expenses and equipment are provided officially.

They don’t have to spend a dime.

Even... some teams, having not caught anything for a long time, plan to cheat.

They intend to send someone into the sea, attach something, and then pretend it was caught.

Perhaps they could use this to report back?

After all, no one but themselves knows the truth.

Indeed, some teams are planning to do just that.

"Shit, you have to be brainless to think you could catch those things."

"Do you think everyone is Fang Hao?"

"Unless he’s superman."

So this is essentially an impossible task.

Some people are still very clear-headed.

And although they have to record a video when they catch something, it’s very easy to fake it.

They are in it for the prize, so they can’t worry too much about it.

As long as they catch something, they can get a reward, such a good deal, who wouldn’t do it?

The Coast Guard can’t even dream that someone would cheat like this.

...

"Fang Hao, look over there, there’s a boat."

While Fang Hao and Xiao Pang were fishing, they noticed another boat far away.

The boat was still quite far from them.

From a distance, they could only see a silhouette.

Fang Hao followed the gaze, but couldn’t see clearly and didn’t pay much attention.

Until later when they actually encountered it face to face.

Only then did Fang Hao realize the people on that boat were acting strangely, and that their boat was not one of ours.

This, Fang Hao could tell.

If it were our boat, he could recognize it at a glance.

And this boat, looked more like it belonged to those people spying and fishing covertly.
