The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

He did not dare to exert too much force all at once, fearing that the fishing line might snap.

Even the specially made fishing lines could potentially break.

This was what Fang Hao was worried about.

Fang Hao estimated in his mind that the weight of the thing below was probably about a thousand pounds or so.

With such a heavy weight, no wonder he couldn't pull it up before.

If he hadn't used the Infinite Strength Card, Fang Hao estimated that he could probably only pull up a weight of about four to five hundred pounds.

That was after practicing Innate Skill, resulting in improved physical fitness and gradually increasing strength.

The strength of an ordinary adult man is generally around one to two hundred pounds.

He hoped the card wouldn't be wasted this time.

Fang Hao was also watching, curious to see what he had caught this time.

Splash, splash.

As the object was slowly pulled up, the movements below suddenly livened up.

The surrounding fish scattered.

"Holy shit, so many fish!"

"How come there are so many fish, and the live streamer couldn't catch any?"

Seeing so many fish getting startled and swimming away, everyone was stunned.

Everyone was curious about why there were so many fish here, yet Fang Hao didn't catch any, instead pulling up something unknown.

This luck is... indescribable.

With the fishing line being pulled up bit by bit, a dark object slowly emerged on the surface of the water.

Everyone was captivated.

Because it hadn't emerged fully yet, under the refraction of light on the water surface, no one could yet determine what it was.

"So dark?"

"What is this dark object?"

It seemed slightly long, thick, and dark.

When it finally emerged above the water...

The live broadcast room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone, including the people on the scene, was stunned and watched in disbelief.

All eyes were incredulously glued to the scene.

"This…"

After a quiet pause of more than ten seconds, the live broadcast room exploded into a heated discussion and the comments section blew up.

"Holy shit!!!"

"We actually caught this!"

"Dude, we actually caught a cannon."

"No wonder it was so hard to pull up, it turned out to be something so heavy."

"What kind of cannon is this?"

"This looks like the Italian Cannon from the TV dramas I've watched."

This is why everyone was so shocked to see what they had caught.

Because he caught a cannon!

Last time it was a pistol, this time a cannon...

This is truly absurd.

Each time more unbelievable than the last.

No wonder everyone was so surprised.

But amidst the absurdity, people also thought it made sense.

Having such an object at the bottom of the lake seemed quite normal.

It turned out the fishing line had gotten wrapped around the wheels of the cannon, which is why it could be pulled up so securely.

It wasn't hooked by the fish hook.

And the fish hook couldn't handle it, it wouldn't support such heavy weight.

No one knew how the fishing line had gotten caught around the hub, tied so tightly.

The harder they pulled, the more secure it became.

After pulling the object out of the water, Fang Hao, with a burst of strength, successfully pulled it up.

The two fishermen nearby, who were fishing in the distance, were dumbfounded.

What is this situation?

Are they really here to fish?

How can you even catch a cannon while fishing?

...

"Holy shit!"

"We actually caught a cannon."

Sun Zhaopeng, who was monitoring the live stream, was stunned.

He himself didn't expect the fishing expedition to cause such a stir, to the point of pulling up a cannon.

It completely refreshed his understanding.

This was big news.

He was so excited that he momentarily forgot what he was supposed to do next.

It was only after a while that he remembered he needed to go to the scene.

This was first-hand news.

But now there was a problem.

He seemed to still be unaware of where Fang Hao and his group were.

Sun Zhaopeng stood frozen as he headed out the door.

Once the car started, he momentarily did not know which way to drive.

...

Upon seeing a massive, dark cannon being pulled up.

Everyone had already stopped worrying about the details.

They didn't even think about how Fang Hao could haul up a cannon by himself.

Everyone's attention was captured by the cannon that had just been pulled up.

"It really is a cannon."

"I just casually mentioned it last time, I didn't expect it to actually come true this time."

A viewer appeared dumbfounded, utterly incredulous.

Last time when Fang Hao fished out a pistol, I just casually said that next time he might fish out a cannon.

And look, he really did fish up a cannon this time.

It completely refreshed everyone's understanding.

It's like outrageousness opening the door to more outrageousness.

The cannon he fished up wasn't too big, not some heavy artillery, but even so, it still weighed hundreds or even a thousand pounds.

It's not something one person could fish up.

After the initial shock, people started to notice this issue.

"Holy... is the host that strong?"

"How much strength would that take?"

"Could the host possibly have Innate Divine Strength?"

But Fang Hao wasn't paying attention to the viewers in the live stream discussing him.

His attention was still on the cannon he had just fished up.

"Did I fish up a cannon?"

He himself found it hard to believe and couldn't snap out of it for a long time.

It felt just like a dream.

No, not even in his dreams would he dream of this.

More often in his dreams, he dreams about fishing up fish.

Fang Hao pinched his own flesh.

"Ow..."

A painful cry.

It hurts, hurts, hurts.

Xiao Pang Chen Sheng looked at Fang Hao with a grievance-filled gaze.

The meaning was obvious.

Host, why pinch me?

"Cough cough, just checking if I'm dreaming," Fang Hao said with a cough, his face unchanged.

This made the viewers watching this scene burst out laughing.

"Haha, the host is hilarious."

"Not pinching himself, but pinching someone else."

"My abs bro seems like he's holding a grudge."

"Abs bro: Host, this makes me look so dumb."

...

After pulling up the cannon, Fang Hao set down his fishing rod first.

He planned to go check out this cannon.

The cannon, presumably in the lake for many years, was covered in mud and rust, and some aquatic organisms had made it their home.

But even having been through so many years, the cannon still impressed.

The dark muzzle was imposing.

Fang Hao slowly approached, with Xiao Pang Chen Sheng and Milky Pink Powder following him.

He wanted to see what kind of cannon this was.

The viewers in the live stream were also carefully observing through Fang Hao's camera.

"This is... an M1897 type 75MM howitzer!"

Indeed, there were many talented people in the live stream.

Finally, someone recognized the origins of this cannon.

Actually, the cannon known as the Italian Cannon in the dramas, was not made in Italy, but by the Gauls.

In 1897, the Gauls developed this cannon, with a caliber of 75MM and powerful effect, and it was also known for being the first cannon in the world with a recoil mechanism. It became a major weapon because of its excellent firing speed and massive power.

As for why it's called the Italian Cannon, that's because during World War I, Italy had ordered a large batch of these cannons from the Gauls, and after the war, sold these decommissioned old weapons to Huaxia.

Since these cannons had Italian inscriptions, many believed they were made in Italy, and hence the name Italian Cannon.

A viewer educated everyone briefly in the live stream.

Everyone was watching all these revelations with astonishment.

Goodness.

How many years old must this cannon be.

Perhaps it sank to the bottom of this lake during the resistance years.

"Didn't expect the live stream to have so many big shots around."

"It's really a gathering of big shots."

...

Fang Hao touched the cannon barrel, which felt cold and icy.

Touching this in such weather, the feeling was quite nice.

This was also his first time being so close to a real cannon.

Otherwise, how would ordinary people see a cannon?

Except by joining the army.

Fang Hao had never been a soldier, this was his first encounter with a cannon.

Even though this cannon was a relic of the past and long outdated,

It still impressed the ordinary people.

This was a treasure back in the day.

Even now, it would be considered an antique.

It's something museums would vie for.

In this regard, he wasn't wrong, soon the local museum's person in charge contacted Fang Hao.

But before that, Fang Hao needed to report to the police.

He could only handle this cannon by notifying the police.

That was not something he could deal with as an ordinary person.
