Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 11 Colorful Fish Scales (Please Read on Tuesday)

The next day.

The burning sensation from the scales on the back of his hand woke Su Wang from his sleep.

I opened my sleepy eyes and everything in front of me seemed so unfamiliar.

Through the partition wall of the wooden house, you can hear the sound of waves hitting the wooden boards outside.

"Where does the sound of waves come from..."

Su Wang, who was still in a daze, suddenly woke up and quickly sat up from the bed.

The remaining tiredness was instantly swept away.

Only then did he remember that he was no longer in his original world.

The first thing Su Wang did after waking up was to call out the scroll to check the current condition of the vehicle.

The vehicle's durability has not changed at all compared to before going to bed last night. The only difference is that the gale shield effect has disappeared.

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, walked to the door of the wooden house and pushed it open.

The bright light shone through the door onto my face, and I was so irritated that I couldn't open my eyes.

"It's dawn. It looks like the night is over."

Wait until your eyes adapt to the stimulation of light.

When Su Wang saw the scene on the deck of the ship outside the door, he was immediately stunned.

The corpses of strange fish of various shapes were scattered on the deck of the ship.

At a rough glance, there are at least forty of them.

"Were they all killed by the Black Scaled Snapper guards last night?"

Su Wang looked at the corpses of the strange fish closest to him.

They are basically ordinary-grade polluted monster fish, but the names and species are different.

Then his eyes shifted to the largest of the strange fish carcasses on the deck.

The corpse of a strange fish that was nearly two meters long.

[Black Iron-grade grouper (lightly contaminated), dead, whether decomposition.]

"Black Iron Level!"

Su Wang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Among these polluted monster fish that were killed, there was actually a black iron level one.

This is the first time I have seen a black iron-level fish.

While feeling surprised, Su Wang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This is a Black Iron-level fish, and it is contaminated.

It shouldn't be something that can be easily resolved.

Su Wang hurried to the side of the hull to check.
There was no trace of the black-scaled snapper guards on the hull.

Driven by thoughts.

The hatch on the hull opened immediately, and the black-scaled snapper guards climbed out one after another.

"One...two...three..."

After the ninth black-scaled snapper guard crawled out of the hatch, the hatch closed.

“There are only nine left.”

Su Wang immediately checked the status information of the 9 black-scaled snapper guards.
It was found that all of them had different degrees of endurance depletion, and the most serious one had less than half of its endurance left.

"One was killed and four were half-crippled."

Su Wang felt a little distressed when he saw the loss of his cattle and horses.

After all, it cost 5 fish coins to hatch it, and it would be a loss if one died.

Fortunately, the damage was not serious, only one was lost.

Compared to the piles of strange fish corpses on the deck, it is acceptable.

After checking the loss situation,
Su Wang then turned his attention back to the corpse of the strange fish on the deck.

The corpses of the strange fish piled up on the deck of the ship, causing the deck to be filled with a pungent fishy smell.

"I lost 5 fish coins, so I have to make up for it."

Su Wang immediately planned to decompose the corpses of these strange fish.

The first to be hit was the black iron-level monster fish.

As the giant fish's corpse disappeared, a pile of items appeared in its place.

[Lightly contaminated black iron grade grouper fillets 200g*50 servings.]

Price:
①: Edible, nutritious, each serving can restore 50 points of endurance. Due to being contaminated by evil forces, there is a very low chance of infection if consumed in large quantities.

②: Can be used as bait. When thrown into the water, it has a strong attraction to ordinary fish. There is a certain probability of attracting black iron fish, and a small probability of attracting special rare fish.

【黑铁鱼皮*20】、【黑铁鱼胶*4】、【黑铁鱼鳞*40】、【黑铁鱼筋*4】、【黑铁鱼肚*1】。

...

"It's a pity there's no fish soul."

After checking the items decomposed from the Black Iron-level monster fish, Su Wang felt a little disappointed.

The performance of the black-scaled snapper guards is enough to prove the value of the fish soul.

Just an ordinary-level fish soul can save you from worrying about attacks from ordinary strange fish at night.

If you are lucky enough to decompose a black iron-level fish soul, you will make a fortune.

However, the fish soul is a rare item that can only be decomposed with a low probability.

It is obviously too presumptuous to think that you can decompose the fish soul from the first black iron-level fish.

The last time I was able to decompose the soul of a black-scaled snapper, it was obviously a stroke of luck.

"Let's see what goodies can be found in the Black Iron-grade fish maw."

Su Wang was not discouraged and opened another valuable fish belly.

[Store in the fish hold: Wood*40, Steel Plate*40, Purified Water 20L, Azure Fish Coin*20, Fish Skin Mask*1.]

"Huh? Fish skin mask?"

When Su Wang saw the first few items of supplies, he was not very surprised.

What caught his attention was the last item of information.

After opening the fish hold to check, they soon found a thin white fish skin.

Fish skin mask

Function: When attached to the face, it can adhere to the skin as one, and fish tissue with no practical function can be evolved on the face at will.

...

"What use would I have for a fish tissue that has no practical use?"

After seeing the information about the fish skin mask, Su Wang was confused.

I thought I had found some great treasure, but it seems to have no actual value.

Su Wang curled his lips in disdain and put the fish-skin mask back into the fish tank. The output of the first and last Black Iron-grade fish was not satisfactory, so he could only place his hopes on the other ordinary-grade monster fish corpses.

Soon, time passed.

Su Wang, who was running around on the deck of the ship, finally dealt with all the corpses of the strange fish.

Including the 4 strange fish caught before going to bed last night, a total of 46 ordinary-level polluted strange fish and 1 black iron-level polluted strange fish were decomposed.

A large amount of contaminated fish meat was harvested from ordinary-level contaminated monster fish, as well as ordinary fish skin*390, fish scales*850, fish tendons*75, and fish glue*70.

The fish belly produced 105 pieces of wood, 90 pieces of steel plate, 12L of pure water, and 35 pieces of blue fish coins.

Excluding the contaminated fish, the rest of the materials and supplies added together are quite scary.

At the very least, we have taken a big step forward in obtaining the materials needed to upgrade the third-level vehicle.

Unfortunately, I still didn’t see any fish souls.

Currently, I don't have many fish coins.

It is currently impossible to smelt these ordinary fish materials into black iron fish materials, so they have to be stored in the fish tank for future use.

Thinking of the fish coins, Su Wang also remembered that there was another thing he had not checked.

Fishing missions.

A new fishing mission appeared last night, so it should have been settled by now.

He immediately summoned the scroll and planned to open the fishing task bar to check it.

"47 ordinary-level polluted fish and 1 iron-level polluted fish. I wonder if it can be ranked in the top 10."

Su Wang was also a little nervous.

Under the protection of the black-scaled snapper guards, the strange fish that attacked throughout the night should have been dealt with.

But the number of fishermen was unknown, and even he couldn't say for sure that he would be in the top 10.

As the fishing mission page unfolded, several pieces of information suddenly appeared on the scroll.

[Daily settlement task: Clean up pollution - settled.]

Mission reward: 47 ordinary-level polluted fish and 1 iron-level polluted fish were cleared yesterday.

The total points obtained are: 285, ranking first among fishermen in terms of total points.

Obtain vehicle naming rights and Fisherman Reputation*10 (vehicle has been named, converted to Azure Fish Coin*10), settlement of Azure Fish Coin*28, remaining points 5.

...

[Yesterday's top 10 fishermen ranked by pollution cleanup points.]

First place: Wangxin, points 285, reward: 1 colorful fish scale.

Second place: Black Pearl, points 135, reward: 1 colorful fish scale.

Third place: Coca-Cola, 110 points, and 1 tri-color fish scale as reward.

Fourth place: Wangcaihao, points 105, reward: 1 single-color fish scale.

……

Tenth place: Demon King, points 75, reward: 1 single-color fish scale.

...

The scroll shows the top 10 fishing tasks from yesterday.

In addition to his Deathheart, there are 9 more fishermen who have been given vehicle names this time.

Some of the names made Su Wangdun feel familiar and intimate, which also proved that the other fishermen were indeed from the same world as him.

But what Su Wang didn't expect was that

He actually won first place and opened up a gap of more than 100 points to the second place.

"There's actually such a huge gap?"

According to the conversion of points, the Black Iron-level polluted monster fish is equivalent to 50 points.

Even without this black iron-level monster fish, the points gap between the second place and the opponent was still 100 points.

After much thought, Su Wang could only attribute it to the fact that the vehicle was in navigation mode last night.

Maybe because the vehicle crossed a wider area of ​​water, it attracted more strange fish?
After receiving all the rewards,

Su Wang clicked on the fish tank to check what the colorful fish scales in the ranking rewards were.

Soon, an extremely conspicuous fish scale was held in his hand.

The fish scales are as big as a palm, with very bright colors and seven kinds of halos flowing on them.

Colorful fish scales

Function: The key to open the colorful secret realm.

After sticking it between the eyebrows, a secret space can be opened in the area in front of the vehicle, which can be entered by holding the colorful fish scales.

Each colorful fish scale can keep the secret realm open for 1 hour. After the time is up, the secret realm disappears and the fisherman will return to the area where the secret realm was opened.

Tip: It is extremely difficult to lure fish in the secret realm and there is no danger.

...

"Seven-colored secret realm, there is such a thing as a secret realm? This world is becoming more and more mysterious."

Su Wang put the colorful fish scales back into the fish hold with a look of shock.

It is not the time to open the secret realm yet, as there are many things that need to be checked and handled.

Su Wang decided to wait until everything was settled and then open the secret realm to explore when he had some free time.

He was more concerned about how the other fishermen were doing after last night.

The best way to learn about other fishermen's situations is undoubtedly through the fishermen's exchange area.

After opening the fisherman's communication area, a large amount of information appeared on the scroll.

One of the speakers who was quite active happened to be a fisherman with a name prefix.

Coca-Cola: "Hey, I'm a famous person now."

"Tsk, someone else, the Heartless Boss, got it yesterday, and even ranked first in the pollution cleanup mission. What are you bragging about?"

"That's right, what a crappy name."

Coca-Cola: "You are jealous of me. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I, the Great Coke, will surpass the Lost Heart."

"Let's wait until you can trigger a notification on your own like the boss of the Heart of Destruction."

"By the way, have you noticed that the amount of information in the communication area today doesn't seem to be as much as yesterday?"

"I do feel that way. Is it because too many people stayed up late last night to deal with the strange fish and are now asleep?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe someone had an accident last night."

"I survived last night by eating the flesh of a strange fish. This morning I noticed a few scales growing on my arms. Am I contaminated?"

Coca-Cola: "Then you're done. I've eaten a lot of strange fish, but I haven't experienced the same thing as you."
