Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 153 Can’t afford it

The voyage from Fire Shrimp Wharf to Golden Crocodile Wharf is only over 300 nautical miles.

More than two hours later, the Wangxin driven by Su Wang successfully arrived outside the waters under the jurisdiction of the Golden Crocodile Wharf.

During this period, we also received several notifications about large quantities of supplies being stored in the fish hold and large amounts of supplies being consumed.

Su Wang speculated that the fleet from Yanzhang Wharf had arrived and was conducting trade exchanges.

The fact that he could receive real-time information on material changes made Su Wang feel relieved.

At the same time, I admire the convenience of this warehouse.

In the future, he will no longer have to personally handle the material storage and equipment trade at the port.

Instead, you can select some more trustworthy people to assist.

This is to avoid having to return to the dock every time you need to exchange goods, wasting anchor point shuttle times.

...

After entering the waters under the jurisdiction of Golden Crocodile Wharf,

It was almost evening, but fortunately the light was still good.

Upon discovering a ship approaching the Golden Crocodile Wharf, a fleet of 10 patrol boats was dispatched to investigate.

When they saw the familiar silver ship, the patrol team's captain immediately remembered the owner of the ship.

Before they could get close to investigate the identity, the news had already been conveyed to the dock.

Even when Su Wang just showed up and was about to tell his purpose, he heard the other party's captain ask first.

"Respected Lord of Fool's Wharf, Lord Huo Sen asked me to give you his regards."

"Lord Huo Sen has already instructed that if you have any questions, you can go directly to the port, and Lord Huo Sen will come to see you in person."

Su Wang couldn't help but be stunned.

It seems that I left a deep impression on Lord Huosen last time.

He immediately stated that he did have something to discuss and asked Lord Huosen to come to the port to meet him.

When arriving at the port,

Su Wang saw Huo Sen waiting here for a long time, and from his facial expression, he seemed to be a little nervous.

At this moment, Huo Sen was also complaining in his heart.

"Why is Su Wang here again..."

The last time he came, he took away nearly a quarter of the combat power and resources at the dock.

It's only been a few days, why are you here again?

Huo Sen was really afraid that Su Wang would come here to cause trouble again.

At this time, Su Wang had also walked up to Lord Huosen and stopped to greet him.

"Lord Huosen, long time no see."

Huo Sen forced an awkward smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Lord Su Wang. I wonder if the Horned Eel family's migration went smoothly?"

Su Wang chuckled.

"We have arrived safely. I came here this time because I want to discuss something else with you."

Hearing this,

Lord Huosen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly recalled the recent news about another stingray family, whether there was any information about any members escaping.

After thinking about it and confirming that there was nothing, he responded with some concern.

"I wonder what Lord Su Wang wants to discuss this time?"

"As for the horned eel family, I did allow them to migrate away. The assets they left behind were exchanged for equivalent resources."

Su Wang grinned when he heard this.

"Lord Huo Sen, don't be too nervous. What I want to discuss this time should be a good thing for you."

When Huo Sen heard this, he felt relieved a little and waited quietly for Su Wang to continue speaking.

Su Wang then added,
"Didn't I discuss the trade of ships and equipment with you last time? This time, I've specially brought a batch of equipment with me. I wonder if Lord Huosen would like to take a look?"

Hearing that Su Wang came for a trade, Huo Sen finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it's the equipment Lord Su Wang mentioned last time, then of course you can take a look at it."

Su Wang said directly in front of Huo Sen,

He took the cores of three devices, a giant submachine gun core, a fire control radar and a speed-increasing turbine, into his palm and handed them over.

"This time I brought 800 each of fire control radars and speed-increasing turbines, and even more of the sub-cannons."

"I promised you that you would consider Golden Crocodile Wharf first when you had good equipment, and I'm here to fulfill that promise."

Huo Sen was shocked by Su Wang's sudden production of three cores.

But looking at the core that had been handed over, Huo Sen subconsciously took it.

However, after coming into contact with the three equipment cores, Huo Sen, as the dock lord, immediately checked the item information.

However, every time he looked at something, a hint of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes.

As expected, they were just as described in our last conversation, powerful devices with special abilities.

Among them, the fire control radar is what excites him the most.

"Lord Su Wang is indeed trustworthy!"

"I've been busy sorting out the businesses handed over by the Horned Eel family recently. Now I have to trouble Lord Su Wang to deliver it personally. That's very kind of you."

Seeing Lord Huosen's attitude change drastically, Su Wang couldn't help but laugh.

He was on guard just now as if he had seen a thief, but now he became passionate.

But it was already late, and Su Wang had no time to delay any further, so he asked directly.

"I've already mentioned the prices of the three facilities I brought last time. I wonder if Lord Huosen is willing to accept them?"

Huo Sen nodded quickly upon hearing this. "Accept! This price is very reasonable!"

Although the fire control radar requires an additional 4 pieces of each of the four golden fish materials, the effect is worth the price.

"I want all 800 fire control radars and speed-increasing turbines. I wonder how many mother-and-child cannons Lord Su Wang brought this time?"

"If possible, how about selling them all to me as well?"

Su Wang chuckled when he heard this.

"Lord Huosen, I have too many of these mother-and-child cannons. I'm afraid you can't buy them all."

"Why don't you just set a number, Lord Huo Sen? I'll trade you as many doors as you want this time."

Huo Sen was also stimulated by Su Wang's words.

Are you afraid I can’t afford it?
As the lord of a level 5 dock, how could he not be able to afford some bronze cannons?
Huo Sen also opened his mouth and spoke.

"It seems that Lord Su Wang has a lot of equipment."

"Lord Su Wang, since you came to deliver the goods in person this time, I naturally have to give you enough face so as not to let your hard work go to waste."

“If it’s less than 6, I’ll buy them all for you this time.

If it's not enough, I will send a fleet to transport supplies for the trade later, okay?"

After sending Su Wang away last time, Huo Sen also spent some time to inquire about the news of Fool's Wharf.

I learned that it was just a newly built pier.

But I just thought about the enemy's fleet with terrifying range and high-altitude attack methods.

Although Huo Sen did not dare to underestimate the fighting power of Fool's Wharf,
But in terms of resource reserves, he didn't believe that a newly built port could have too much inventory.

In Huo Sen's opinion, it would be considered good to be able to produce 3 cannons for trade.

Although I dare not touch the fleet's strength, but if we compare financial resources,

Huo Sen planned to let Lord Su Wang broaden his horizons and at the same time kill the arrogance of the young lord and let him know the background of the old lord.

However, when Su Wang heard that Huo Sen wanted 6 cannons, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt particularly cordial when looking at Huo Sen's old face.

"Lord Huosen is indeed wealthy! I really admire him!"

Hearing the praise from the young lord in front of him, Hosen felt elated and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Together with Su Wang's passionate gaze towards him, Huo Sen felt that this was just an expression of admiration for himself.

At that moment, I finally felt that I had regained some face.

I thought that Lord Su Wang’s next sentence would probably be that there were not enough cannons and he wanted to continue the transaction next time.

Su Wang also spoke at this time.

"Since Lord Huosen is so generous, then let's give him 6 cannons."

"If Lord Huosen still needs it, it's not impossible to add a few thousand more cannons."

When Huo Sen heard this, the smile on his face froze.

"Lord Su Wang... did you really bring 6 cannons this time?"

Su Wang chuckled and nodded when he heard this.

"If you want 6, of course we have them. This time I can sell 9800. Since Lord Huosen only wants 6, I can only find another buyer for the remaining 3800."

"But if Lord Huosen thinks it's too little, I can sell all 9800 of them to you."

Hearing this, Huo Sen's old face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Buying 9800 bronze cannons at one time?
He really couldn't come up with so many bronze fish materials...

"Six thousand is enough for now. We have a long time to go. We might as well conduct more trade with other equipment."

Bronze fish materials are not needed in many places, so most of the time they are used to smelt higher-grade fish materials.

The inventory currently accumulated by Golden Crocodile Wharf is only enough to purchase 800 fire control radars, speed-increasing turbines, and these 6 bronze submachine guns.

If more were added, he really wouldn't have the spare resources to take it all in a short period of time, unless he used more advanced resources instead.

Huo Sen saw that he failed to defeat the opponent and instead suffered a setback, so he immediately greeted him with a bit of embarrassment.

"Lord Su Wang is indeed young and promising. He can probably make a fortune just from this equipment trade."

Then he changed the subject.

"The amount of materials traded this time is enormous. Did Lord Su Wang come here early?"

"I wonder when your transport fleet will arrive for trade, so I can be prepared."

Su Wang shook his head and took out several fire control radars one after another.

"I'm dissatisfied with Lord Huosen. My family has the ability to take and put items in the dock warehouse at any time."

"I am the only one who can carry out this transaction. Lord Huosen only needs to prepare the resources."

Huo Sen was previously surprised by the scene of Su Wang suddenly taking out the core.
Now I see it again and know that the other party took it out casually.

At that moment, Huo Sen was shocked and sighed in his heart.

What is the story behind this Fool's Wharf?
Being able to produce so many rare equipment with special abilities, it seems that their financial resources are extremely strong.

Now I can still possess such magical family power.

Huo Sen even recalled that the enemy fleet he saw last time seemed to be different from normal warships.

At this moment, Huo Sen became more and more wary of Su Wang, and felt more and more that he should not provoke hostility.

He put away his thoughts and responded quickly.

"The power of a family like Lord Su Wang is extremely convenient."

"In that case, how about coming with me to the warehouse to take inventory of the supplies?"

Su Wang nodded immediately.

"Thank you for your help. Lord Huo Sen, please lead the way."
