Chapter 3 Holy shit! This is definitely dozens of pounds of heavy stuff!

These LSPs.

Just because someone has a nice figure doesn't mean you can see their face clearly at night, okay?

What if they had a face full of pockmarks?

Not afraid it would scare the legs out from under you.

"I mean, can't you guys show a little self-control? It's just a female angler, is she really worth all this excitement?"

"Not to mention the fear she might be a shrewish hag."

Fang Hao began to complain.

Anyone who regularly fishes isn't likely to be that good-looking.

Even if they were, long-term outdoor fishing, enduring wind and rain, would turn them into rough tomboys.

"Host, you actually don't recognize Feifei Goddess?"

"The Feifei Goddess is a fishing idol who combines beauty, figure, and skill."

"Cough cough... Really?"

This was awkward.

"Host, look quick, Feifei Goddess got a fish on the line."

Because Fang Hao's live stream was previously focused in the direction of the female angler, viewers in his chat room could also see what was happening over there.

And at that moment,

they saw her make a move, skillfully playing the fish to conserve her own strength.

Judging by her actions and posture, that fish was probably no small catch.

"Oh wow, looks like it's a big one."

"This fish has got to weigh at least fifteen or twenty pounds."

The angler did not seem in a hurry, still carefully playing the fish.

From this, it was evident that she was very experienced.

After all, a fifteen or twenty pound fish has a considerable amount of sudden force to deal with, and it would be challenging for her, a woman, to pull it out immediately.

Even more likely, she could be pulled into the water by the fish herself.

The purpose of playing the fish is to exhaust its strength.

Fang Hao and his viewers were all watching how she would manage to catch this fish.

After about fifteen minutes of playing, when the fish was finally too tired to resist, she quickly seized the opportunity and used a net to drag the fish out of the water.

When the fish was lifted out of the water... everyone gasped.

"This fish could be twenty pounds."

"Scored a big one!"

"As expected, Feifei Goddess is amazing, not long after starting, and she's caught a big one."

"Host, take a look at her!"

And when he saw the big fish being pulled up, Fang Hao did feel a pang of envy.

But he wasn't worried about not being able to catch any fish himself.

No way he'd get skunked.

With his skill, he'd at least hook a fish around ten pounds.

He had a feeling that he'd be making a catch soon.

He wasn't in any rush.

"Don't worry, I'll catch one bigger than hers in a bit."

Fang Hao continued to wait patiently.

...

"Can you even fish, host?"

"It's been nearly half an hour, and you still haven't caught anything, while Feifei Goddess has already caught two more fish."

"..."

Damn, that was a bit discouraging.

Although the fish the female angler caught afterward weren't as big as the first, they were still several pounds each.

Meanwhile, Fang Hao's float still hadn't budged an inch.

His viewers were even more nervous and anxious than he was.

His chat room's popularity had also dropped a bit.

Some passersby, seeing Fang Hao not catching any fish for a long time and finding it uninteresting, left after a few minutes.

Those who remained were the 'loyal' viewers who usually watched his streams.

They knew Fang Hao had the skills; it just seemed his luck wasn't that great.

They didn't watch Fang Hao fish solely for the catches anyway—sometimes chatting and discussing other things was just as much fun.

Moreover, they could joke about it when Fang Hao failed to catch anything.

What mattered was the process and atmosphere; the result didn't seem that important.

Therefore, the mood in his chat room was always great, and everyone stayed active throughout.

"Don't be discouraged, streamer, I believe you... will definitely catch a small white fish!"

"Ha ha ha, well played, bro upstairs!"

"Snatching all the bamboo shoots."

"The bamboo shoots have all been snatched by you."

"But for the sake of a full fish feast, I think we should pray for the streamer to catch a big one."

Time ticked by.

Fang Hao's fishing rod remained still, but the female angler beside him had caught another fish.

"..."

"I'm starting to think it's this spot I'm standing in, the Feng Shui must be off."

"Ha ha ha, right now the streamer's mouth is the only thing that's firm."

"The streamer has the looks and the skills... I mean, has the looks..."

The teasing continued.

However, just at that moment.

"The float's moving!"

"Streamer, you're about to catch something!"

Actually, Fang Hao didn't need the audience's reminders; he had already noticed because not just the float, but the rod too, had moved.

The moment the float moved, he instantly tensed up, his attention fully engaged.

Excitement.

This would be the first fish he caught today.

No matter if the fish was big or small, it was a good sign.

Fang Hao gripped the fishing rod tightly, slowly lifting it.

It was heavy.

When he lifted the rod, he could clearly feel the weight of the fish on the hook, and it seemed not light.

It's a big catch!

That thought flashed through Fang Hao's mind.

This made him even more excited.

This was the big catch he had been waiting for so long.

His luck was about to change.

Luck changing, starting with this big catch.

"Ha ha ha, this one is definitely a big catch."

"I told you, I had a feeling from the start that today we would catch a big one."

As he spoke, Fang Hao slowly began to reel in the line.

It was very heavy.

However, the only strange thing was... the fish didn't seem to struggle much, no, it didn't struggle at all, since he didn't feel any resistance from the fish pulling on the line.

It was too easy to pull in.

Something wasn't right.

Could it be that the fish ate too much and didn't want to move?

Forget it, let's not worry about that for now.

Pull it up first, and then see.

This was his first catch, and Fang Hao couldn't afford to overthink it.

Forget everything, just pull it in first.

While pulling in the line, the weight was obviously heavy.

Based on Fang Hao's experience, could the weight of this fish possibly exceed 40 pounds?

Shh...

If it was really over 40 pounds, then he'd have really struck it rich.

"Guys, I feel like I'm about to get incredibly lucky today."

"This fish... is definitely a super big catch, I estimate it's 40 pounds!"

As soon as Fang Hao said this, the audience in the live stream also had their curiosity piqued.

"Sss, 40 pounds?"

"Is that for real?"

"If it's really 40 pounds, that's damn impressive."

"The streamer really is a dark horse, suddenly astounding everyone."

The audience was all eager to see what this hefty catch looked like.

As the line was slowly pulled back.

A huge shadow gradually surfaced from the water.

At the same time... a rotten smell also faintly drifted over from afar.
