Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 19 The Troubles of Being Famous

When Novan heard Miss Tia's question, he immediately answered respectfully.

"Miss, there seems to be a ship about 20 nautical miles ahead."

"It seems the other party is traveling alone. He shouldn't be part of a caravan or a group of corrupted people."

After hearing Novan's answer, Tia pondered for only a few seconds before giving the order.

"Follow me!"

"Since that ship is near this sea area, it is also possible that it can find traces of the double-horned ray eel."

Tia doesn't want to miss any chance to find the trace of the two-horned thunder eel.

In order to capture the double-horned eel this time,
She had been preparing for this for a long time, even spending a lot of money to order special medicines.

And this time, he finally managed to avoid the surveillance of that "kind" brother and found such an opportunity.

After hearing Tia's order, Novan immediately nodded in response.

Then he recalled the crab guards around the hull and sailed towards the location of the ship at a constant speed.

...

Su Wang had already packed up all the fish on the deck and returned to his residence.

"Hiss~ I'm freezing."

Su Wang hurriedly took off his wet pants, leaving only a pair of boxer briefs to cover his body.

Then put on the dry shirt you took off earlier.

The dry clothes and the windless room made Su Wang feel a lot more comfortable.

“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected surprise.”

Since his boxer briefs were still wet, Su Wang sat down directly on the floor.

He began to look through the fish hold to review the catch.

木材*420、钢板*390、纯净水15L、蔚蓝鱼币*280、黑铁鱼魂：破浪鱼*1。

That's right!

I originally thought that the surprise brought by the two-horned lightning eel was enough.

Unexpectedly, when I was decomposing a few Black Iron-level Wave-breaking Fish, I unexpectedly harvested a fish soul.

This is a Black Iron-level fish soul!
For two consecutive days, I caught a rare fish and a fish soul.

Su Wang couldn't help but wonder if he had some kind of protagonist halo.

I'm so lucky to be this good.

In addition, there are a large amount of black iron wave-breaking fish meat, several kinds of ordinary fish meat, plus a lot of black iron and ordinary fish materials.

In short, the total harvest this time is definitely something that all fishermen will envy or even be jealous of.
It was worth it for him to stand shirtless in the rain and wind for more than an hour.

Su Wang first found the fish treasure produced by the double-horned electric eel in the fish tank.

[Yubao: Double Thunder Explosion]

Quality: Black iron grade fish treasure.

Function: Can be installed on a vehicle to provide it with the vehicle skill - Double Thunder Explosion;
A permanent fish treasure that consumes fish coins and converts the shells into thunder bombs when using the ship's cannon to attack (the facility is missing).

Enjoy two switchable attack modes:
①. Each cannon fires two thunder bombs each time, each causing damage equal to vehicle strength*2.

②. Each cannon fires a giant thunder bomb each time, each bomb causes damage equal to vehicle strength*5.

When the fish treasure is equipped on a vehicle, the fisherman gains the ability to adapt to the profession.

...

"A huge cannon on a ship?" Su Wang murmured.

The fish treasures produced by the double-horned thunder eel are indeed one level higher than those produced by the silver-tailed wind fish.

But the gear at the moment doesn't seem to be usable yet.

The power of this fish treasure is applied to the ship-mounted cannon, which is not yet available on his vehicle.

However, Su Wang happily chose to install it on the vehicle.

If the vehicle's capabilities are not used, isn't there still the fisherman's adaptive capability?
This will come in handy.

As soon as it was installed, he received a prompt.

[The vehicle has been equipped with Fish Treasure: Double Thunder Explosion.]

[Currently available statues for the bow: Silver-tailed Wind Fish, Two-horned Thunder Eel, Silver-tailed Wind Fish is the default.]

[The fisherman gains the adaptive ability - lightning pulse.]

Consumes 10 stamina points to activate, entering a 60-second pulse excitement state, during which any stamina-consuming abilities are exempt from consumption.

After the excitement state ends, you fall into an overdraft state, and your own endurance drops to 10% of the total limit.

The time limit for lifting the overdraft status is determined by the degree of consumption during the excitement period, with a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 48 hours.

...

"Just rest after having fun?"

Seeing the abilities brought by Yu Bao, Su Wang secretly complained.

This ability is indeed powerful, and can be called pseudo-infinite endurance within 1 minute.

But the side effects should not be underestimated.
After 1 minute, you will stop immediately and enter a long period of negative effects.

Su Wang was not sure about the value of this ability.

If used properly, it can bring unexpected results, but if used improperly, it will only backfire on you.

But it’s always good to have more abilities, maybe they will come in handy someday.

He didn't think about it anymore, but took out the Black Iron Fish Soul and put it on.

[The vehicle has been equipped with the Black Iron Fish Soul: Wave Breaker.]

You can hatch Wave-Breaking Fish Guardians, which costs 20 Azure Fish Coins per fish. The Fish Soul can maintain a maximum number of guards: 20.

...

The price of guards hatched from Black Iron-level fish souls is much higher.

Fortunately, Su Wang still had plenty of fish coins, so he immediately hatched all 20 fish.

I turned my head and glanced out the window. The rainstorm showed no sign of abating.

"Wait until the rain stops and then go out and take a look."

Su Wang didn't want to get his shirt wet again, so he decided to wait until the rain stopped before checking out what the Wave-Breaking Fish Guard looked like.

The harvest from this rainstorm fishing trip is almost done.

But there is still one uncertain thing that needs to be confirmed.

When I caught a two-horned eel earlier, the scales on the back of my hand briefly burned. I was in a hurry to handle the eel, and I was caught in the rain.

That's why I haven't intervened for the time being.

Now that I have some free time, I can take a look at the situation.

In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind.
The last time my scales became hot was also after I caught a silvertail windfish.

"Could it be that I caused this announcement again?"

When he opened the fishing mission, things were exactly as he expected.

Two new messages are displayed in the Fishing Tasks column.

Captain Wang Xin has achieved a historic feat, becoming the first Bronze Fisherman to catch a rare, special Black Iron-rank fish. This is worthy of celebration by all fishermen, and I would like to reward him with 10 Azure Fish Coins—unclaimed.

You have achieved a great feat as a fisherman, gaining 200 points of fisherman reputation. (Current fisherman reputation on the Heartless: 310, local reputation: 0)

...

Su Wang received the 10 fish coins as reward.
Although it’s not much, it’s better to take it for free than to waste it.

"Now I'm going to be famous again."

Now he knew without thinking that this matter must be discussed again in the Fishermen's Exchange Area.

I opened the communication area and took a look, and it was true.

And this time the heated discussion lasted longer.

It has been a while since he caught the double-horned eel and opened the communication area.

At present, many fishermen are still discussing this notice.

Su Wang looked at it silently.
From the focus of the other fishermen's discussions, it can be concluded that they were more surprised than that he caught a rare Black Iron-level fish.

Instead, he was surprised that he had become a bronze fisherman.

After all, it's only the second day.
Many fishermen who have upgraded to level two vehicles are aware of the material requirements for level three vehicles.

That's nearly ten times more than the materials needed to upgrade a level 2 vehicle!

At present, most of them have not even gathered one tenth of it.

This is also the reason why many fishermen in the exchange area are still discussing this issue.

Su Wang even saw some fishermen even linking conspiracy theories to him.

I wonder if he is not a real human being, but the mastermind behind bringing them to this world.

The "Death Heart" was created specifically for fun, and these two notices were also made to stimulate them to catch up.

Otherwise, how could the materials be collected so quickly?

What's outrageous is that this speculation was also shared by other individual fishermen.

After seeing this, Su Wang felt both amused and helpless.

The funny thing is that he is almost deified.

Unfortunately, he really couldn't explain anything at the moment.

First, the vehicle upgrade speed is indeed abnormally fast, but this is also the result of a variety of coincidences.

Secondly, the ability to upgrade vehicles so quickly is also due to the huge gains brought by the Colorful Secret Realm.

However, besides him, there were 9 other people who obtained the secret realm props, but no one revealed the news of the secret realm and the gains.

It is possible that the nine of them did not enter the secret realm or did not gain any gains, or it is possible that they gained some gains but did not expose them.

Su Wang thought about it and decided not to reveal it for the time being.

So as not to arouse the jealousy of others and cause other troubles.

Everyone is in danger, but suddenly someone appears who is in a much better situation than you.

Those with pure hearts may only feel envious or even a little jealous.

But those with evil intentions are most likely not just jealousy, they may even be filled with hatred.

There is no explanation for either reason, and all we can do now is hope that time will wear off the heat of this incident.

I immediately had to exit the communication area.

Su Wang glanced at the rain outside the window and decided to find something to do to pass the time.

"Let's see if there are any good things in the trading area."

...

More than twenty minutes later.

Su Wang has already looked through all the sales information in the trading area.

At this stage, there aren’t many good things that other fishermen can sell.

Apart from various ingredients and fish, there is almost nothing else in the trading area that I can like.

Unless you are only a little short of materials for a vehicle upgrade, it would be a waste to spend a lot of fish coins on it.

There are some good things in it,

I don’t know who sold an ordinary fish soul in the trading area, but unfortunately the price was as high as 500 fish coins.

If he didn't have the fish coins that could buy this fish soul, Su Wang would have felt that the seller behind the fish soul was just showing off maliciously.

If the price was lower or the level was Black Iron, he wouldn't mind buying it to enhance the vehicle's foundation.

In addition, nearly one-third of the 500 steel plates he put up for sale that morning were sold.

I believe they should all be sold out by evening.

After looking at the trading area, Su Wang was once again in a state of having nothing to do.

But just as he put away the scroll and looked out the window, his expression suddenly froze.

Not sure,

Su Wang stood up from the ground, walked quickly to the window and looked carefully into the distance.

Only then did he confirm that he was not dazzled.

Under the cover of the rainstorm, there seemed to be a dark shadow on the sea in the distance.

"What is that... a reef? An island? Or something else?"

This is the first time in more than a day that a target has been discovered above the sea surface.

It’s a pity that the heavy rain affected the vision so much that we couldn’t see clearly what it was.

Su Wang looked at the direction the Wangxin was heading.

He discovered that the unknown black shadow was exactly in the direction he was heading, and even if it deviated, it would definitely not be far away.
