Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 208: The Possibility of a One-Man Army (1K)

Soon, Menata was teleported into the cooking room.

"Captain, are you hungry?"

When Menata saw that she was called over at this time, she thought that the captain was hungry and wanted to ask her to come over to make something to eat.

After hearing this, Su Wang actually felt a little hungry.

But before that, I have to get down to business.

"I feel a little hungry, but you should call the logistics staff over to help break down some of the catch."

The fish breeding lake has continued to this day. Although there are not many rare fish species, there are a lot of common fish species.

Normally, Su Wang would only extract and harvest a very small portion every week.

Today is harvest time.

At present, the breeding efficiency of fish breeding lakes has been greatly improved, so we can harvest more.

Moreover, with Menata's ability, this harvest will be greater than ever before.

The main thing is that we have recruited a smelter, so the fish soul aspect can be put on the agenda.

As early as when he learned that the smelter had a chance to smelt rare fish, he was very eager to try it.

Upon hearing Su Wang's order, Menata immediately called the logistics personnel on the ship.

The 20 workers who were classified under her,
As long as she is present, she can grant these 20 workers the ability to break down the catch.

Furthermore, the fish yield and level-up effects will be equal to Menata's qualifications and abilities.

These 20 workers have become Menata's clones.

This will greatly improve the efficiency of breaking down large catches and will not put too much workload on Menata.

This was also the result of Su Wang's experiment when harvesting red tide fish at Pearl Wharf.

At Menata's call, 20 logistics workers soon arrived one by one.

Su Wang issued an order to extract 10 ordinary-level, 5 black iron-level, and 2 bronze-level regular fish from the fish breeding lake.

It would take one person at least one or two hours to decompose so many fish.

With the cooperation of many people, the task was completed in less than half an hour.

17 fish were caught, and the lowest grade of fish that were broken down was black iron, with a considerable amount of silver grade fish as well.

The fish material is not the most important thing, the fish soul is the most rewarding.

3024 black iron fish souls, 1516 bronze fish souls, and 608 silver fish souls.

The 2% probability of rare items produced by decomposition brought by crew logistics personnel is fully reflected when the quantity base is large enough.

In the past, Su Wang would have to decompose it himself.
These catches can only produce one-third of the current amount of fish, and the fish soul level is also one level lower.

Combined with the fish souls accumulated over a long period of time,
There are 44324 ordinary fish souls, 279467 black iron fish souls, 17812 bronze fish souls, 5453 silver fish souls, and 3114 gold fish souls in the fish cabin.

If the fish souls loaded on the fleet were dismantled, there would be even more.

However, most of the warships have been sent out on missions, so it’s okay to replace them slowly in the future.

From the number of fish souls at each level, it can be seen that there are far more low-level fish souls than high-level fish souls.

The main reason is that the fishman guards summoned by low-level fish souls are too weak, so except for a part of the extracted essence, the rest is accumulated in the fish hold.

Now that we have a smelter, these low-level fish souls can be put to use.

Besides, with such a large number, we should be able to smelt and mutate a few rare fish souls, right?

Ask Menata to help prepare a midnight snack.

Su Wang immediately went to the smelting room to prepare for the smelting of the fish soul.

...

When we arrived at the smelting room, Ipark was staying there.

"How is the familiarity?" Su Wang asked.

Ipark wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a little excitement.

"Amazing! What a magical ability."

"Captain, the ability you have bestowed upon me is truly remarkable. I have never before witnessed anyone being able to smelt rare fish materials."

As he spoke, Ipark picked up some fish ingredients on the workbench and handed them to Su Wang.

The reason why Ipark is so excited is also due to his own training experience.

As a former talent trainee at Pisces Wharf, I naturally knew the functions of many wharf buildings.

He also has experience in smelting fish materials in the warehouse.

However, normal dock warehouses can only smelt low-grade fish materials into higher-grade fish materials.

But he had just smelted a very special fish material several times.

He also recognized this kind of fish with special characteristics. It was a special thing that could only be produced by extremely rare and precious fish.

Seeing Ipark so excited, Su Wang took it and took a look. It was indeed several low-level rare fish of different varieties.

When I had previously helped Ipak familiarize himself with the smelter's abilities, I had left behind some ordinary and black iron-grade fish materials for him to use.

It seems that these rare fish materials were just smelted by luck.

But he didn't expect that he was not that excited, but Ipark was extremely excited.

Su Wang immediately put the rare fish into the fish hold and exchanged them with the fishermen at the dock later.

"Just get used to it. This is a special talent you possess. I'm just helping you discover it."

Su Wang calmed Ipark's excitement and added.

"I've arranged 20 support personnel for you. You should be able to sense it."

"Call them over now. You have a big task ahead of you."

Upon hearing this, Ipak quickly straightened his mind.

"Don't worry, Captain. I will complete any mission you have for me successfully."

After that, he tried to call out to the workers who were connected with him.

While waiting for people to come, Ipark glanced at the captain beside him without saying a word.

When he first entered the warship, he was a little panicked when he saw the sudden change in the environment.

But from the captain's mouth,

He is now in a huge warship hanging high above the dock, which is also where he will live in the future.

However, in Ipark's impression, there was clearly nothing in the sky above the dock.

Not to mention that in his memory, there has never been a warship that could appear in the sky.

Even the holy place among the docks, Pisces Dock, has never had this so-called "air battleship".

It was not until the captain took him to the warship's aisle that he saw the scene on the dock below through the screens on both sides of the aisle.

Only then did Ipark realize that his captain had not lied to him.

He was really on a huge warship that could sail in the sky and overlook the sea, and this warship could even be invisible.

Ipark understood that his captain was probably a very special dock lord.

So special that it has never appeared in history.

Just as Ipak was daydreaming, the 20 logistics personnel who were paged had arrived at the smelting room.

As people who were also on board for the first time, they were also in a trance at the moment.

Perhaps it will take a day or two to accept this situation that is beyond my understanding.

However, since there were tasks to be assigned, Su Wang had no choice but to ask them to take up their posts.

Seeing that everyone has arrived,
Su Wang then made arrangements to Ipark.

"I have over 9 fish souls here, and I need you to lead them in smelting them into gold-level fish souls."

"First, smelt fish souls of different levels and tell me the cost of each."

After saying that, Su Wang began to pour the fish souls out of the fish hold.

Tens of thousands of fish souls were divided into four piles according to their levels.

It would be enough to smelt these fish souls to the gold level.

Above gold, Su Wang decided to wait and see the situation.

Ipark nodded immediately and walked forward to take 4 fish souls from each of the four piles.

First, test the ordinary fish soul.
Ipak picked up an ordinary fish soul and placed it on the smelting table.

With a slight sense, I felt that one light was not enough.

Then he added another one to the smelting table.

After sensing several times in sequence, you will get 5 ordinary fish souls and can start smelting.

At Su Wang's nod, Ipark started smelting immediately.

Suddenly, 10 fish coins placed next to the smelting table were also absorbed.

Su Wang saw this scene and pondered in his heart.

"With Ipak's aptitude and ability, smelting ordinary fish souls once would cost 5 ordinary fish souls and 10 fish coins."

But when the smelting was completed, the scene that appeared on the smelting table made Su Wang open his eyes wide.

"2?"

A feeling of joy swept over me.

Su Wang picked it up and took a look, and found that they were indeed two black iron-level fish souls.

"The smelting output bonus of the logistics personnel can actually be applied to fish soul smelting as well."

By this calculation, doesn't it mean that 2.5 fish souls can be exchanged for a higher-level fish soul?

Su Wang quickly gave up the smelting table and let Ipark continue to smelt the remaining fish souls.

After 4 tests, except for the upgrade from gold level to extraordinary level which has not yet been tested, 5 fish souls of other levels can be smelted at a time.

The fish coins consumed are 10 ordinary ones, 1 black iron ones, 1 bronze ones, and 1 silver ones.

Su Wang calculated based on the existing fish souls and smelted them all into gold grade, which would consume nearly 5 million fish coins, which was not much.

In the end, you will get 3977 gold-level fish souls.

There were more than 9 fish souls in total, but in the end only about 4 golden fish souls could be smelted, which didn't seem to be very profitable.

After all, a silver fish soul costs 3 to 5 fish coins in the Pisces Caravan, while a gold fish soul only costs 10 fish coins.

However, the higher the level of the fish soul, the more fish-man guards it can summon when equipped on a warship, and the stronger its strength.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not a loss at all.

At present, low-level fish souls are of little use. It would be a waste to keep them in the fish tank. It would be better to smelt them into useful things.

Su Wang made the decision immediately and ordered that all of them be smelted into gold grade.

After receiving the order, Ipark immediately told the rest of the logistics personnel to arrange for them to assist in smelting.

With the help of 20 logistics staff, it didn't take too long to smelt these piles of fish souls.

As for Ipak,
Su Wang first took out 5 golden fish souls and handed them to him, asking him to try whether 5 gold-grade fish souls could also be smelted at a time.

Ipark took the fish soul, placed it on the smelting table and sensed it, then shook his head.

"Captain, I sensed that it can indeed be smelted, but it seems that more fish souls of the same level are needed."

Su Wang gritted his teeth, took out another 10 pills and handed them over.

Ipark took it, placed it on the smelting table again for sensing, and then shook his head again.

"Even 15 won't work... Could it be 10 times as much?"

Su Wang simply took out 35 golden fish souls to try.

Sure enough, when Ipark added the beads one by one into the smelting table, his face only lit up with joy when he put in the 50th bead.

"Captain, 50 can be smelted. Do you need to smelt them?"

Su Wang nodded.

It takes 50 pieces to smelt a fish soul of gold level or above, and this consumption is not sustainable at present.

After all, the fish souls still have to be left for the fleet to load and enhance the fleet's strength.

But it doesn't hurt to give 50 a try.

Su Wang had never obtained a fish soul above the gold level. After Ipark started smelting it, he immediately spent 10 fish coins.

Su Wang estimated that this was the consumption after the smelter's qualifications were reduced.

Su Wang only hoped that this time the smelting would have an extremely low probability of mutation and that he would be able to obtain a rare fish soul.

However, it seemed that luck was indeed on Su Wang's side.

After nearly a minute of long smelting, the 1 golden fish souls had been condensed into 50.

But one of them showed a colorful halo.

Ipak said with great joy after picking up the two fish souls.

"Captain, there is a fish soul called a rare fish soul. Look!"

Su Wang, who had been watching from the side, noticed this situation when the fish soul was successfully smelted.

After all, fish souls of other levels have never appeared to glow.

Su Wang hurriedly took the two fish souls handed to him by Ipark and examined them.

[Extraordinary Fish Soul: Ringtooth Tuna]

Function: Extraordinary Murloc guards can be born on the assembled vehicles and docks.

...

[Extraordinary rare fish soul: Sword-billed flag whale soul.]

Effect: After use, a sea warrior of the initial extraordinary level will be hatched within 3 days. He has a high degree of intelligence and soul and is a living individual.

Introduction: A magical soul that can give birth to sea creatures. After birth, it will be endowed with random extraordinary powers by the world.

...

"It's indeed a sea warrior. Now Carol has a companion!" Su Wang said happily.

Carol is the only sea warrior at the dock, and he cruises around the dock with his sharks every day.

Due to their ethnic differences, they don't seem to like interacting with the residents at the dock.

Now with new sea warriors, Carol not only has companions to communicate with, but also can recruit new fish.

Su Wang immediately asked Ipak to continue smelting those low-level fish souls.

He went to the command room and used the rare fish soul.

Suddenly, an egg-shaped soul egg nearly two meters in size was attached to the floor.

Just wait for 3 days and you can hatch an extraordinary sea warrior like Carol.

According to the smelting mutation rate, when the silver grade is smelted to the gold grade, there will definitely be rare gold grade fish souls appearing.

By then, there will be far more than just one hatching fish egg in the command room.

Su Wang immediately installed another ordinary extraordinary fish soul on the Wangxin.

Since Murloc Guards can only be summoned outside the ship,
Therefore, Su Wang controlled the Wangxin to land on the water next to the dock, and was transported to the open-air platform at the top of the vehicle through the base.

Only then was he ready to summon an extraordinary-level murloc guard to take a look.

"Each one costs 1 fish coins. That's 20 times more expensive than a gold-level Murloc Guard."

Seeing the hatching price, Su Wang couldn't help but be amazed.

A gold-level murloc guard only costs 500 fish coins, while an extraordinary-level one increases by 20 times, and the hatching limit reaches 500.

It takes 500 million fish coins to fully hatch once.

From this point of view, the extraordinary-level murloc guards are not something that ordinary shipowners can afford.

Even the Fool's Wharf, with its wealth and power, cannot afford to support a large number of ships using this level of murloc guards.

Su Wangxuan was about to hatch them all out.

Suddenly, a hatch appeared on the side of the battleship, and huge figures as tall as 3 meters crawled out.

In terms of physique, he is even stronger and taller than Carol.

Su Wang drove one to climb on the hull and climbed up to the platform on the top.

The abdomen is covered with extremely smooth dark blue skin, the limbs have sharp claws, and there is a circle of round teeth at the joints.

Except for the abdomen, the entire body is covered with thick dark blue scales.

【Gear Ring Tuna Murloc Guard】

Class: Extraordinary Murloc Guard.

Strength: 948*2.

Endurance value: 9860*2.

characteristic:
① Exploding Scallops - Shoots out regenerative scallop bones, causing damage equal to Strength*200% of Stamina to the target, and produces a 10-second regeneration suppression effect.

② Proliferation and Regeneration - Restore 1000 stamina points per second.

②Thunderstorm: Any attack will trigger a small-scale thunderstorm effect, causing additional damage equal to Strength*100% Stamina.

Supernatural power: weak frost power, causing freezing effect in a very small range, greatly enhancing resistance to pollution.

Introduction: A fish-man guard who already possesses incomplete supernatural powers.

...

"The ability to proliferate and regenerate and a weak supernatural power..." Su Wang pondered.

In addition to the changes in attributes, the extraordinary-level fishman guards have the difference of proliferation and regeneration and weak extraordinary power.

The original Murloc Guards were consumables, and would die on their own once their stamina was exhausted.

Now with proliferation and regeneration, as long as the stamina is not exhausted during the battle, it can be quickly restored to full value.

In this way, it will be much more durable than the gold-level murloc guard.

With Tia's blessing, the attributes of the Murloc Guard doubled, and it also gained a thunderstorm feature.

It's like having one more skill.

Su Wang also asked the fishman guard to use his extraordinary power.

Suddenly, an area of ​​ice and frost over ten meters wide formed on the platform.

Su Wang also has the power of frost,

If I were to use my extraordinary power, it would be enough to freeze everything within a radius of nearly a thousand meters in an instant.

In comparison, the extraordinary power of this fishman guard is indeed pitifully weak.

However, if it is a one-on-one situation, this extraordinary power can play a significant role.

Its extremely high attributes are no weaker than the extraordinary monster fish I encountered last time I went to the underwater sea tribe territory.

"Tomorrow's plan to dive into the sea and catch extraordinary fish is much simpler now."

Originally, Su Wang planned to dive into the deep sea and drive a vehicle to search for polluted monster fish. If he encountered one, he would attack and capture it with the ship's cannon.

If all else fails, you can catch these fish yourself and accumulate extraordinary fish materials.

Now that we have 500 extraordinary murloc guards, we can directly send out a large number of murloc guards to hunt monster fish.

Efficiency and ease will be greatly improved.

Currently, the Heart of Death can be equipped with 200 fish souls.

If you can get 200 extraordinary fish souls, it is equivalent to having an army of 10 extraordinary fishmen guards.

Even if it was a fleet of over ten thousand Polluters, the Heart of Destruction could sink them by diving into the water and summoning these murloc guards.

This shows that

Even if a dock is not built, if the fishermen can improve their individual strength to a certain level, they can also demonstrate terrifying group combat power.

Su Wang thought about it again,

Without the help of the port development, we may not be able to obtain so many resources.

200 extraordinary fish souls are not something that ordinary people can collect, and I can't do it now.

10 extraordinary fish-man guards would cost 10 billion fish coins just to hatch, which is a huge amount of money.

Between individual development and development with the help of the port, overall, the option of port development is faster.

Put away all the fishman guards,

Su Wang immediately returned to the warship and took off again.

I first checked the progress at Ipark's side. The smelting was not yet completed, and it would probably take about two hours.

I immediately went to the kitchen and saw Menata who had been waiting for a long time.

After a delicious midnight snack,

While Ipark's work was still going on, Su Wang planned the tasks for the next few days.

Before that, first summon the Local Dock Alliance Scroll and receive the task mentioned by Erf.

Sure enough, an unclaimed task appeared in the interface.

[New dock: Build a new dock within 3 months and expand it to at least level 2, with a population of more than 5.

Mission reward: One additional Pisces Caravan aid supply.

Published by: Pisces Wharf.

...

"A new dock within three months, that's easy."

For Su Wang, this task couldn't be simpler.

Other local terminals are worried that the new terminals will be located near polluted waters and will be vulnerable to attacks by polluters.

But Su Wang was not worried about this at all.

Regarding the current fleet strength at the dock,

If another fleet of tens of thousands of Polluter ships came, he was confident that he could defeat it head-on without resorting to guerrilla warfare like last time.

Su Wang even hoped that more polluters would appear so that he could get more mission rewards.

The terminal has now been expanded to level 4.
According to the information collected, the number of docks will no longer be increased at the Level 5 dock.

Now the docks are all double-expanded docks, which are very crowded.

Currently, more than half of the docks at Fool's Wharf are in use. At the current rate of development, it won't be long before the problem of insufficient docks arises again.

It is not impossible to build a new dock.

But the 5 residents are a problem.
Even Fool's Wharf is now a place with a large area but few people.

Su Wang thought that maybe this time they could attack the polluted dock and use it to think of a solution.

The quickest way to purify polluters is naturally to use the folding mirror's purification beam ability.

The problem lies in the frequency and scope of use.

After capturing the polluted dock, there were still a large number of polluters on the dock.

When the time comes to gather together, they will have to use the folding mirror's ability to purify the light beam several times.

Fortunately, the output of purification source water has greatly increased, so it is not impossible to directly shorten the recovery time. It’s just that the consumption of purification source water is a bit high.

Su Wang immediately decided to do it this way.
It was just the right time to gather a large number of residents at one time and prepare for the reinforcement of residents at the subordinate docks in the future.

In addition, the dock is strong enough to be upgraded to level 5.

Tomorrow we have to send out several small fleets to various friendly ports to purchase some reputation stones.

Before going out to sea to complete the purifying mission, upgrade the dock once more.

Just as Su Wang was thinking this, a call request suddenly appeared.

[The Lord of Pearl Wharf is requesting a call. Do you want to answer?]

"Hmm? Di Anxuan?"

"You're looking for me so late, could something have happened?" Su Wang was confused.

...
