Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 113: Multi-faceted Improvements to the Pier
Upon hearing the news, Su Wang's eyes lit up.

I decided to let Carol go to the sea area near the Golden Crocodile Pier for a while when the time was right.

If we can bring back a group of rare sharks by then, it will be a considerable harvest.

When the fleet sailed back to the vicinity of Fool's Wharf,

The number of sharks that Carol had gathered along the way had reached more than two thousand.

Judging from the size of some of the fish in the shark school, there are hundreds of gold-level shark species that are over ten meters long.

There are at least four hundred smaller silver-level shark species.

"If we let these sharks help catch fish, we can probably catch tens of thousands of fish every day." Su Wang thought with satisfaction.

When the fleet is about to enter the port,

Su Wang asked Carol to lead the sharks to hunt fish in the nearby waters.

He went to the dock, ready to use the many resources he brought back this time.

When they arrived at the port, Cao Ge was already waiting there with several strangers they had never seen before.

Su Wang saw Cao Ge leading a few people towards him.

When I came before him,

Cao Ge even wanted to give her a "passionate" hug, but was pushed away and stopped.

I only heard Cao Ge ask earnestly.

"Boss Wangxin, you're finally back. What did you gain from being away for so long?"

"Without you, Boss, I've been feeling really uneasy these past few days."

"There are only a few people here at this big dock. If some weird ship shows up, I won't be able to handle it."

Su Wang was immediately happy when he heard this. After not seeing him for a few days, it seemed that Old Cao had become more talkative.

Compared to the relaxed Lao Cao, the few strangers following behind him seemed much more restrained.

The look on his face when he looked at Su Wangshi was obviously a bit nervous.

Su Wang said to Cao Ge.

"This time the harvest is quite good. Next time I go out to sea, there should be some fleets stationed at the dock."

The operation went very smoothly, at least there were no problems at the dock.

Through this action,

After accumulating the supplies to form the first fleet, Fool's Wharf was able to form a guard fleet.

Su Wang immediately instructed Lao Cao to go and gather the appropriate residents and prepare them to accept the awakening of the captain.

Wait until Cao Ge leaves,

Only then did Su Wang look at the other people.

Without thinking too much, he knew that these people were the fishermen who had arrived while he was away from the dock.

There were a total of 3 men and 1 woman. Judging from their appearance, they were mostly around 20 to 30 years old. Su Wang also got a brief acquaintance with them.

After giving out the promised rewards, Su Wang immediately asked these people what they thought.

After some inquiry,

Three male fishermen expressed their interest in pursuing combat positions, while the other female fisherman was a little hesitant.

Su Wang did not force him, but just asked him to think it over and report to Lao Cao.

As for the three male fishermen, Su Wang said.

"You guys are the first to respond, so I will naturally give you some preferential treatment."

“This world is far less safe than we think.”

"According to my idea, I will form a special fleet composed of fishermen."

"If there are any of you who perform well, I will give priority to choosing one of you as the captain of the fleet, and the corresponding merit will be higher."

"Similarly, the improvement of strength will also be greatly accelerated. Lao Cao is an example."

As soon as Su Wang finished speaking, the fishermen in front of him all showed eager looks, even the hesitant female fisherman was no exception.

After all, before Su Wang left, he had already put a lot of redeemable items into the merit redemption list.

When Cao Ge recruited a few people, he also took advantage of the temptation of these exchange items.

After distributing some pancakes to the fishermen and encouraging them, Su Wang said goodbye to them.

Fishermen are different from local humans. If you want them to work for the dock, you can't do it without using some benefits to win them over.

Due to the special nature of the vehicles, the fleet formed will be far more powerful than mass-produced warships.

Even if driven by interests, Su Wang would still form a fleet of fishermen and act as an elite.

The domestic naval fleet that can be mass-produced will serve as the basic combat force.

At this moment, Cao Ge has gone to greet the residents.

Take this time,

Su Wang planned to build a few specialty cores first, and then go to manufacture a large number of warship cores.

Walking into the lord's palace, Su Wang summoned the dock sand table and threw three dock cores into it.

There are also two more buildable facilities at the dock.

【Alchemy House】

Category: Silver-level specialty dock facility.

Function: Can be used to manufacture various tools and medicines, can scan existing products and analyze the materials needed for manufacturing.

Limitations: Manufacturing products requires specialized workers to assemble them in proportion. The more people you have, the faster the manufacturing output.

Floor area: 200m*200m.

...

【Low-level Refining Plant】

Category: Bronze-level specialty dock facility.

Function: It can extract the special power from fish souls and fish meat below bronze level, and produce the materials needed for alchemy.

Restriction: Extraction requires special workers...

Floor area: 100m*100m.

...

These two specialty facilities are obviously complementary to each other.

When Su Wang saw the auction, he chose to buy them all.

A suitable location was immediately chosen within the core area of ​​the current dock for construction. The other core facility was the bronze-level fish breeding lake.

But after entering the dock sand table,

There are no new construction options, but it shows that the fish pond can be upgraded and expanded.

Su Wang immediately chose to expand.

As a result, the level of fish species that can be bred in the fish breeding lake has also been upgraded to bronze level.

This also provides him with a direction for upgrading specialty facilities. Originally, specialty facilities with the same name, more advanced ones can expand and increase the production capacity of lower-level facilities.

After the construction was completed, Su Wang immediately left the lord's palace.

When I saw the fish breeding lake at the door, it was obvious that it had doubled in size.

This shows that

Certain specialty facilities cannot be built or expanded if the dock area is insufficient.

After checking the information of Yuyu Lake,
Su Wang realized that the fishing fleet he had arranged must have worked hard to catch fish during the days he was away.

Coupled with the increase in the number of fish species' self-reproduction, the number of common fish species in the fish breeding lake has reached more than 4.

The daily output of fish coins has reached more than 3, which can be said to have begun to show scale.

With the help of the workers, Su Wang estimated that he would be able to produce the first batch of rare fish fry tomorrow.

By then, there will be more options for exchanging fish treasures and rare materials among the merit exchange items.

As for the other two new facilities, Su Wang decided to wait until the workers were ready before checking them.

By now, Cao Ge should have gathered the residents and dealt with the matters there first.

Su Wang immediately went to the shipyard and manufactured 182 cooperative warship cores based on the current inventory of silver materials.

After all the operations, there were 3.7 pieces of fish skin, 312.1 million pieces of fish glue, 307.8 million pieces of fish tendons and 87.2 pieces of fish scales left in the silver fish.

Since fish materials were needed to repair the warships at the dock, Su Wang left more than 3 fish skins unused.

And there are a lot more fish tendons and fish glue.
However, this was also what Su Wang did deliberately. After all, these two materials are the least when decomposing the fish.

When a large number of silverfish are caught in the future, there will be no situation where the fish material is insufficient and warships cannot be built.

Unfortunately, there is currently a shortage of bronze materials, making it impossible to equip these warships with giant cannons.

However, it is enough to build some warships to show off.

In a few days, the dock where the trading ship carries the cannon will send a fleet to transport supplies.

If there is no fleet to support us at that time, it will undoubtedly arouse the other party's suspicion.

After putting the manufactured warship core into the fish hold, Su Wang immediately went to the port.

When we were about to arrive, we saw Cao Ge had already arrived with many residents.

Su Wang immediately summoned the Fisherman's Scroll and opened the fishing task bar.

Choose to claim and settle 1 Level 4 personal emergency task rewards.

[Deposit Azure Fish Coins*502 million, Stamina Potion*364, Concentrated Shipmaster Potion*356, Low-level Inducing Alchemy Mixture*284 in the fish hold.]

"356 bottles of Shipmaster's Potion are enough for now!"

Su Wang immediately chose to claim the Level 2 reward 57 times, consuming another 570 rewards.

[Deposit Azure Fish Coins*285 million, Intermediate Induction Alchemy Potion*16, Intermediate Crew Qualification Potion*20, and Enlightenment Potion*21 in the fish hold.]

"21 bottles of enlightenment potion, a little short."

Su Wang thought for a moment and decided not to use the remaining 200 settlement times.

This time, he planned to try out what potion he could get from the level 3 reward.

Immediately, 2 settlement times were consumed and 2 level 3 rewards were exchanged.

[Deposit 100 million Azure Fish Coins, 1 Senior Crew Qualification Potion, and 1 Species Evolution Potion in the fish tank.]

All rewards have been claimed.
As Su Wang walked towards where Cao Ge was, he found two bottles of medicine in the fish hold and checked them.

The Senior Crew Qualification Potion was just as Su Wang thought.
After taking multiple bottles, the crew qualification can be upgraded to gold level.

What is more unique is that

The conditions for taking this senior crew qualification potion are limited to those with silver qualifications.

"Lao Cao will definitely be interested in this potion."

Su Wang already had an idea of ​​who would make up the subsequent crew, so it didn't matter whether he kept these potions or not.

After helping Tia to take down the Horned Eel Family, he planned to select two people from the family to become crew members and take those with ready qualifications.

The other species evolution potion made Su Wang's eyes light up.

[Species Evolution Potion]

Level: Gold.

Effect: After being released into a small area of ​​water, there is a small probability that an indefinite number of common fish species in the water will evolve and transform into rare fish species.

If used alone on surviving conventional fish species, it can 100% induce the evolution of the fish species.

Limitation: If the area of ​​water is too large, the effect of the medicine will be greatly diluted.

Tip: The evolution of fish species has the same randomness.

...

"Can rare fish also evolve?"

Su Wang was really surprised.

This medicine can be used in so many places.

Whether it is a fish breeding lake or deriving rare shark species for Carol, it is a good choice.

However, there is only one bottle at present. I will first use it on a large scale in Yuyu Lake. Perhaps it will be more cost-effective.

While checking the medicine,

Su Wang had also walked up to the gathered residents and immediately put away the two potions.

He then took out the captain's baptism potion from the fish hold and asked Cao Ge to help distribute it.

With these potions, the number of sailors at Fool's Wharf is about to experience a surge, and there will finally no longer be a situation where there is no one available.
