HDRDTH -Chapter 68 Luck is something that eventually rotates.

On the shore, the titanium alloy lure rod in Yu Xian’s hands had just touched the water. The line hadn’t even fully tightened yet when a violent reverse force yanked the rod tip straight into the water!

The baitcaster’s drag alarm screamed wildly: “Squeak-squeak-squeak!”

“Good heavens! This is definitely not a two-pound tilapia!” Yu Xian roared excitedly, his face flushing deep purple.

His flip-flops once again plowed two trenches in the mud. His right hand clamped the rod like a steel vice while his left hand braced the rod body.

Wang Fei’s originally calm expression froze.

She looked at Yu Xian’s nearly bent-to-breaking rod and frowned deeply.

The surrounding crowd erupted completely. On the screens, tech executives stared at the “right-angle turn” trajectory graph, tearing at their hair.

“This is unscientific! That thing is doing U-turns underwater!”

Meanwhile, Old Hei underwater was going insane.

How could it not turn at a right angle?

He was being dragged around by immense force, rolling underwater, while Ah Qiang, Da Liu, and two others clung to him like a “human centipede,” barely managing to keep him from being yanked straight out of the water by Yu Xian.

“This is bad! That guy’s strength is insane! If this continues, Old Hei is going to be strangled to death!”

Da Liu shouted urgently through the comms, “Quick! Stop tug-of-war with him underwater—unhook the lure and attach it to something solid!”

Ah Qiang frantically felt through the muddy water and suddenly touched a heavy, elongated metal object.

It was astonishingly heavy, covered in moss.

He couldn’t see what it was, but he didn’t care anymore. Timing Yu Xian’s next brief slack in force, he forcefully removed the treble hook from Old Hei’s harness and snapped it onto the metal object with a click.

To be safe, the four of them wedged the object between two huge rocks and pressed it down tightly with scrap I-beams.

“Phew—finally free!”

Old Hei sighed in relief.

“Quick! The boss’s side still hasn’t started yet!”

They swam off like startled black fish, heading toward Wang Fei’s hook with a prepared 70-jin big grass carp.

On the shore, Yu Xian suddenly felt the violent tension on his rod stabilize.

But it was no longer the struggle of a living creature.

It felt heavy… like something connected to the earth itself.

“Dad! It stopped moving! Did it anchor itself?” Wang Dafu shouted nervously with a landing net.

Yu Xian gritted his teeth. “Anchor? I’ll dig up the earth’s crust today just to see what the hell is down there!”

At that moment—

Wang Fei, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly felt a sharp pull on her rod!

“I’ve got one!” Qin Yue screamed in excitement.

Wang Fei’s eyes sharpened. She set the hook and controlled the rod with practiced precision.

Feeling the genuine resistance of a 70-jin grass carp, she glanced at Yu Xian gracefully.

“Mr. Yu, it seems luck really does rotate.”

The crowd turned their heads in unison.

“The diva is on! That bend is at least fifty jin!”

“Master Yu looks like he’s snagged bottom—completely still!”

But Yu Xian didn’t give up.

He looked at his left hand, wrapped in blood-soaked gauze, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

“You think you can cut my line? Dream on!”

He stepped forward and abandoned the reel entirely, grabbing the PE line directly with his bare hands—the same hands that had once fought deep-sea monsters.

He leaned back and roared:

“GIVE—IT—UP!!!”

The PE line stretched to its limit, emitting a sharp, piercing whine.

His flip-flops sank deeper into the mud, icy sludge flooding in.

The force transmitted through the line reached the underwater sediment layer.

Below, Ah Qiang and Da Liu had just hooked the 70-jin carp onto Wang Fei’s hook when the water suddenly churned violently.

Old Hei turned back—eyes wide behind his mask.

The treble hook tied to Yu Xian’s line had actually lifted the scrap I-beam on top of it.

The long metal object tilted upward, revealing a camouflaged waterproof coating beneath the moss—and a row of glaring red foreign serial numbers.

“Big trouble!” Old Hei roared into the comms.

They instantly recognized it.

A military-grade sealed container.

Something like this, hidden in the deep pond behind Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, was definitely not legal.

And right now, police officers and bomb disposal experts were standing on shore.

If that insane man pulled it out, all four of them would be finished.

“Go back! Unhook it now!” Old Hei shouted desperately.

They swam back under Yu Xian’s terrifying tension and tried again.

“Too strong! It’s stuck in the lifting ring!” Ah Qiang tried prying it with hydraulic cutters.

“Hook a fish! Fake it!” Da Liu yelled, panicking.

He grabbed a tiny white bait fish and threaded it onto the hook.

With a joint effort, they finally snapped the treble hook loose.

The four were instantly thrown away by the rebound force, crashing into scrap metal piles.

On shore—

Yu Xian suddenly felt the overwhelming resistance vanish.

“What the hell?!”

He lost balance completely and fell backward, landing hard into a muddy pit. Black sludge splattered everywhere, hitting Wang Dafu in the face.

“Dad!” Wang Dafu rushed over to pull him up.

The crowd gasped.

Yu Xian crawled out, spat out a blade of grass, and quickly reeled in.

A few seconds later—

A heavy 200g metal lure flew out of the water and landed in the grass with a plop.

Everyone leaned in.

On the treble hook was a tiny white bait fish, barely the length of a finger. It flopped weakly, eyes rolled back in despair.

The livestream exploded with laughter.

“HAHAHAHA”
“THIS IS IT??”
“Peak fisherman ending”

Just then—

Ten meters away, Wang Fei’s drag alarm screamed again.

Her rod bent into a perfect full arc.

A massive shadow exploded from the water.

“A giant grass carp!” someone shouted.

Water splashed everywhere as a 70-jin monster fish broke the surface.

With calm precision, Wang Fei landed it.

She glanced at the muddy Yu Xian and then at the pitiful white bait fish.

“Mr. Yu,” she said lightly, “it seems this water doesn’t favor you today.”

Qin Yue smirked. “Losing to Sister Fei isn’t embarrassing. Just admit it and write the song already.”

Yu Xian stared at the white bait fish.

Then suddenly—

His eyes turned cold.

Something was wrong with this fish…
