The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

And Xiao Pang on that end is awarded 5 million, and Old Gao as well, another 5 million in rewards.

To see such a hefty cash prize, it was a first for everyone, and one can imagine just how remarkable Fang Hao's achievements must have been.

Additionally, Jinghai also gifted Fang Hao with a piece of real estate.

For such talent, it's a must to retain them!

"Damn, that's a lot of money."

"One.... One billion!!!!!"

"My god, that's way too much."

"Whimper, I'm so jealous. With that billion, I wouldn't even have to work anymore, living off the interest alone would last quite awhile."

This reward also shocked many netizens immensely.

It's just too generous.

"Is it still time for me to start fishing?"

"Wait for me, brother, I want to go fishing too."

"Let's go, group trip."

"When we go fishing in the future, we can just show this picture to our wives. Will they still say fishing isn't proper work? Look at this guy, fishing just like us, and he got a prize of a billion. Will they stop us then?"

"This makes way more than buying lottery tickets."

"You're right, brothers, that's some great thinking!"

"Aren't you afraid... that without any prize money, it might be even worse when you go back?"

"Scoundrel, don't you dare ruin my determination!"

"..."

But it's undeniably worth mentioning, this time Fang Hao's reward was extremely generous.

A cash reward of one billion, along with a house.

God knows how many people it has made green with envy.

Now, Fang Hao doesn't need to buy a house; he has a place to live in Jinghai.

They no longer need to stay at the guesthouse of the Coast Guard base.

After receiving the rewards, they immediately went to take a look at the rewarded house.

The rewarded house is located in a nice area of Jinghai, not some remote suburb far from the city center, but a small villa, worth almost eight to ten million.

Jinghai is really rolling in it, so generous with their wealth, to just give away a house nearly worth ten million like that.

You should know that Fang Hao's cash prize was a billion, of course, this cash reward is given by the state.

The value of this house is ten million.

In total, that would be one billion and ten million.

And the paperwork for this house was quickly completed and transferred directly to Fang Hao's name.

The efficiency is just extraordinary.

Although Xiao Pang didn't get a house as a reward, being able to receive a 5 million cash prize already exceeded his expectations.

He didn't feel bitter about his 5 million cash prize compared to Fang Hao's billion and didn't feel any imbalance.

Because he knows, if it wasn't for Fang Hao, not to mention 5 million, even 500 would have been good.

Instead, he's very grateful to Fang Hao for always taking him fishing.

Now, he's utterly devoted to Fang Hao!

In the future, if Fang Hao tells him to go right, he will definitely not go left; if told to go east, he will surely not go west!

He never imagined he could one day earn 5 million!

Since graduating, he's been mostly helping out at home, never really working outside, living on whatever money the family provided.

Although he had some family assets, the money he could spend was not much.

And now... suddenly having 5 million in hand, how could he not be excited?

He can proudly say to others that whoever said fishing can't make money or that fishing is a waste of life is wrong.

Thanks to fishing, he has earned 5 million.

Who says hanging out with Brother Hao, you will go hungry six out of nine meals!

Those who didn't go fishing with Fang Hao before are now full of regret.

They've missed out on winning 5 million.

How many years of work would it take to make those 5 million?

"Ah ah ah ah, streamer, is it still possible for me to join you for fishing now?"

"I want to go, too."

"I want to sign up!!!"

"Streamer, take me with you to fish, whatever you want at night is not a problem (BTW I'm a guy)."

"???"

"Move aside, you guys, I'm the one who should go with the streamer."

"I want to go too."

"Streamer, I'm not after the 5 million, I genuinely love fishing."

Fang Hao's fan group exploded with excitement.

People who were scared to death before are now eagerly wanting to join Fang Hao for a sea fishing trip.

It's just too lively.

Within seconds, the messages in the group chat surged to 999+.

Seeing that both Lao Gao and Xiao Pang, who went fishing with Fang Hao, each received a bonus of five million, the reward was extremely high.

Who wouldn't be jealous?

In other words, not only did Lao Gao not spend much on this trip to sea, but he also earned a lot.

This left Lao Gao with mixed feelings of laughter and tears.

Originally, he had paid for the whole trip and invited Fang Hao to join for fun, but ended up making money because of Fang Hao.

And it wasn't just Fang Hao and his group who received rewards.

Captain Yu and his crew also received awards, earning a collective second-class merit.

"This reward is too scary, a billion... I reckon I'd need to start earning from the Tang Dynasty to accumulate that amount."

"Buddy, you need to start from the Tang Dynasty, but I feel like I'd need to start from the Qin Dynasty."

"Just a fisherman, why on earth would he get a bonus of a billion?"

Some people said sourly.

They felt that giving out a billion in bonus was utter nonsense.

They thought Fang Hao wasn't worthy of such a huge reward.

"Are you serious, upstairs?"

"You actually think the livestreamer getting a billion in bonuses is too much? Are you sure you're not just pretending to be a hater?"

"Let alone one billion, even ten billion wouldn't be too much for us."

However, some netizens felt that the rewards for Fang Hao were still not enough.

A cash reward of a billion might seem a lot, as well as the bonus of receiving a house.

But... when compared with the countless cultural relics salvaged, and those forty tons of gold, it's nothing.

What's a mere billion in reward!

"As expected, haters are everywhere."

"Little haters, just roll out."

"What face do you have, saying a billion is too much here? Who do you think you are."

The netizens in Fang Hao's fan group couldn't take it anymore and immediately started cursing out loud.

They quickly buried the comments from these small haters.

Making them too scared to even raise their heads.

…

After receiving the reward, Fang Hao and Xiao Pang went to their rewarded house.

It was a reward from Jinghai, given especially to Fang Hao, which is why he received such treatment.

Xiao Pang did not feel envious at all; on the contrary, he was happy for Fang Hao.

"Brother Hao, this house is really nice."

"Now we can call Jinghai our home too."

Although Xiao Pang didn't have a property reward, Jinghai also offered him a talent incentive. As long as he settles down in Jinghai, he could receive a decent housing subsidy.

But for now, he doesn't need to buy a house. Despite having five million in hand, he plans to save the money.

After all, he can temporarily live in Fang Hao's villa in Jinghai.

No trouble at all.

"Indeed, it's nice."

Fang Hao was also very satisfied with the living environment here.

He could certainly consider staying in Jinghai more often in the future.

After all, he has friends in Jinghai.

"From now on, we'll have a place to stay in Jinghai."

No need to always stay in hotels.

Just like that, Fang Hao and Xiao Pang temporarily lived there.

The villa was already renovated, so they could move in without any hassle.

Saving them a lot of trouble.

Before setting out to sea for another fishing trip, Fang Hao stayed in the villa with Xiao Pang.

To celebrate moving into the new house, Fang Hao also invited Lao Gao's family and Captain Yu over for a party to liven things up.

Bringing some vitality to the new home.

With friends bringing joy, the home was bustling with life.

…

Meanwhile.

At a foreign-owned company in Jinghai, which is Inoue's enterprise, they received a special mission.

They were to make contact with Fang Hao.

And try their best to recruit him.

As long as he is willing to come over, any conditions can be offered.

"Fang Hao?"

"Just a fisherman... Is he really worth all this effort?" Inoue was somewhat puzzled, but he complied nonetheless.
