Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 210 The Rainy Season is Coming (6K)

The next day,

Su Wang woke up from the bed and checked the alliance warehouse.

The 30 silver fish souls have been returned, and the problem at Qinglong Wharf should be solved.

Taking into account the other party's insufficient preparation when building the dock.

Su Wang called Ji Boda and asked him to spend a few more nights in the red night to accumulate some supplies needed to expand the dock and then apply for fleet assistance.

After a quick wash, we went to the small courtyard connecting the crew rooms to have breakfast.

Menata had already prepared a table full of delicious food, and Tia, Mirei and the others were already seated there.

Even the newest member, Ipark, was a little reserved as he sat alone at one side of the dining table, eating his food.

Sitting down at the main seat at the dining table, Su Wang cut a piece of fish fillet and put it into his mouth.

Just then, Tia reminded him while eating salad.

"Captain, the rainy season is supposed to arrive in the next two days. Do we need to make some preparations?"

Su Wang, who was chewing a fish fillet, was puzzled when he heard this.

Rainy season?
The last time he asked about the Red Moon Calendar time, he also heard Tia mention the term "rainy season", but he didn't pay attention last time.

However, now that Tia mentioned this word again, she had to prepare herself.

Is there something special about this rainy season?
Or is it different from the rainy season he imagined?

"The rainy season is coming? Is there any problem?"

As Su Wang asked back, Tia immediately understood.

"Captain, don't you know what the rainy season is like?"

Su Wang nodded when he heard this, without hiding anything.

Tia rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

"I knew it was like this..."

“The rainy season lasts for a month and a half, which is when polluters are most active.”

When Su Wang heard this, he became interested and continued to ask questions.

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Tia also gave a detailed introduction.

From her introduction, Su Wang also learned what the "rainy season" was.

Since the appearance of the Red Night, black rainstorms have been falling continuously for nearly three months every year.

They are April-May in the first half of the year and August-September in the second half of the year, each lasting one and a half months.

During the "rainy season", endless dark clouds will cover the sky, and even the day will be as dark as night.

During the rainy season, a large number of polluters will leave the polluted sea areas and invade normal sea areas.

Most dock collapses occurred during the rainy season.

And every time the rainy season ends, the polluted sea area will further expand and erode some normal sea areas.

Hearing this, Su Wang's expression became a little more cautious.

There is such a special period?

I originally thought that the so-called "rainy season" was just a season when heavy rains often occurred.

After all, when I first came to this world, I encountered two days of heavy rain.

But now it seems that this rainy season is more likely related to pollution.

According to Tia, black raindrops fall during the rainy season instead of normal water droplets.

Polluters are active and polluted sea areas are expanding and eroding outward.

On the local port side, Pisces Port happened to announce the task of expanding the new port during this period.

It looks like the polluters launched an attack, while the local port authorities set up defenses in advance to prevent the pollution from expanding.

Thinking of this, Su Wang couldn't help but worry.

If the rainy season comes, will it affect the plan to attack the polluted dock?
Or maybe the two fishermen might encounter any danger at the newly built pier.

Tia's description shows that the dock would collapse every time the rainy season came and went.

If you are lucky and the danger is discovered early, you can migrate or seek support.

If the polluter is discovered too late, many ports will not have time to relocate and can only fight back desperately.

But in the end, most of them were defeated by the massive attack of the polluters.

No wonder Tia specifically reminded him to prepare for the coming rainy season.

After finishing the meal,

Su Wang was immediately teleported to the deck on top of the battleship.

Sure enough, some abnormalities were discovered.

At this time, the sky should have been very bright.

The sunlight cast by the light source may even feel a bit scorching.

However, at this moment, the whole sky felt gloomy.

Looking up at the sky, thick clouds blocked the light source, and only the outline of the light source could be vaguely seen.

"It seems that what Tia said is right..."

Looking at the current situation of clouds in the sky, I'm afraid that heavy rain is likely to come in the afternoon or even tonight.

From Tia's description, the rainy season will cause the dock's detection capabilities to be inexplicably weakened.

This is also one of the reasons why the occupied docks are unable to be notified of the presence of polluters in the first place.

Su Wang was immediately teleported from the warship to the dock port.

The captains of the existing fleet at the dock were summoned immediately to report.

In addition to the 3 warships sent out, there were still 1.5 warships left at the dock, including 500 pilot warships.

After all 15 team leaders arrived, Su Wang immediately arranged the tasks.

The port has jurisdiction over the waters and arranges one pilot team of 1 ships and four mutual aid teams of 4 ships to patrol.

Another four pilot teams of 4 ships and six mutual aid teams of 6 ships are responsible for sailing outside the jurisdictional waters and conducting dispersed patrols.

Just wait for the rainy season to come, and then regularly release bombers to extend the patrol range to ensure that we are always aware of the surrounding situation.

Su Wang was not afraid of encountering the Polluter fleet, but he could not let the Polluter fleet get close to the Fool's Wharf.

After the fleet's mission is arranged,
Su Wang immediately informed Di Anxuan and Ji Boda about the approaching "rainy season".

Upon learning of the threat of the "rainy season", Di Anxuan replied solemnly that she would pay close attention.

Su Wang told her to notify him immediately if she found any threat from the polluter.

As for Ji Boda,
After learning about the dangers of the rainy season, I suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Alliance Leader Su! Boss Su! There's nothing at my dock. If we run into a polluter, won't we be doomed?"

Su Wang responded calmly after hearing this.

"That's right, it's going to end."

"But you haven't invested any supplies yet. If danger arises, quickly collect the fish souls you can take with you and flee as quickly as possible."

After hearing this explanation, Ji Boda also reacted.

Yes! The terminal hasn't been expanded yet, not even a single investment has been made.

If a polluter comes, he can just run away with the fish soul and there will be no loss.

However, having already tasted the sweetness of the dock, and it being the first dock he had built, Ji Boda asked with some reluctance.

"Boss Su, is it possible that my Qinglong Wharf will be abandoned?"

Su Wang chuckled when he heard this.

“This is just the worst-case scenario.”

"I have a mission that's running out of time and requires a lot of manpower."

"I don't have the resources to assist the extra docks at the moment. If nothing goes wrong at the docks before I complete my mission, I will naturally dispatch a fleet to help you."

Originally, Su Wang decided to help complete the initial construction of Qinglong Wharf before going to complete the mission of purifying the world.

Unfortunately, the arrival of the rainy season overturned this plan.

Pearl Wharf has been developed and manned, so if there is a threat, troops will naturally be sent to protect it.

However, Qinglong Wharf can be slowed down or even temporarily abandoned.

In order to avoid a shortage of manpower and a situation where both ends cannot be taken care of.

After hearing this explanation, Ji Boda had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, the harvest every night is not small, so it is not difficult to give up and reoccupy a hidden dock.

If you really encounter a problem that you cannot deal with, you can only give up for the time being.

After informing the two affiliated dock lords, Su Wang sent the message to the communication area.

After all, the two subsidiary docks now may not be able to be protected. If new subsidiary docks are added, there will be even more shortage of manpower.

Su Wang also gave other fishermen a heads-up in advance, telling them not to occupy the dock easily in the near future.

After hearing the news, many fishermen in the exchange area also began to discuss it.

Nocturne: "No wonder this local port I'm at suddenly went under martial law today. So there's such a thing as 'rainy season'."

Succubus: "It's the same at my dock. I was just wondering what was going on, and it turns out it's because of this."

Cupid: "What bad luck! Now I have to postpone the construction of the dock."

"According to Boss Wangxin, staying at the mainland dock is also dangerous?"

"Yeah, I thought the mainland docks were pretty safe, but I didn't expect this to happen."

"Speechless... Now, shouldn't we just pray that the docks don't encounter any polluters?"

"If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Boss Wangxin's dock. Boss Wangxin is an extraordinary fisherman, and his dock must be more reliable than these local docks."

Squirrel: "You are talking nonsense,
Some time ago, when the boss was not yet a transcendent fisherman, he led more than 2,000 warships to destroy tens of thousands of polluters.
Can that local dock compare to our Fool's Dock?"

Squirrel: "Anyway, I'm not worried at all. With Boss Wangxin here, there's definitely no danger."

"Damn it! I'm so envious! If I'd known there was such a thing as 'rainy season', I wouldn't have been lazy and stayed at this mainland dock."

Squirrel: “Do you regret it now?
Boss Wangxin has provided so many ways to help you, so why don't you appreciate it?"

"I'll be there now. I hope we don't run into any danger during the three-day voyage."

...

Seeing that there were also fishermen on the dock joining in the discussion, Su Wang couldn't help but smile silently.

Compared to ordinary local docks, Fool's Dock is indeed safer.

Fishermen who can stay at Fool's Wharf naturally don't have to worry about the threat of the "rainy season".

Fishermen who stay at local docks have to be wary of the problem of polluters at the docks.

Su Wang also gave some suggestions on this.

If you find that something is wrong, escape from the dock in time.

It is also a task with props posted in the fishing task column.

200 pieces of [Stealth Coating] equipment are available in the mission. If you encounter danger and need to escape, each fisherman can receive it once and must return the equipment after 6 hours.

The reason for doing this is

This is because Su Wang was worried that if the fishermen were polluted together with the local docks, the fishermen's special vehicles would cause unpredictable changes.

The last time we encountered a pollution source, the bomber was almost contaminated.

If the diverse functions of the Fisherman's vehicles were copied to the Polluter, it would very likely lead to the evolution of the Polluter's fleet.

Although this is just Su Wang's own guess and it is not certain that it will not happen, it is best to avoid complete contamination if possible.

...

After sharing the known information, Su Wang closed the communication area.

The problem of this rainy season,

Many fishermen also realize that staying at the local docks is not always safe and there are dangers.

In this case, we have to find a safer dock to stay.

And Fool's Wharf is undoubtedly the best choice.

The hidden threat of the rainy season has not yet appeared, so we still have to do what needs to be done.

After Su Wang finished arranging matters at the dock, he immediately returned to the warship to prepare to dive and fish. There were still 36 cannons on the Wangxin that needed to be replaced.

The required extraordinary fish materials still need to be collected.

Su Wang immediately drove the warship into the water and transformed into deep diving mode.

While the warship was diving, Su Wang turned on the sonar radar simultaneously.

Although it is pitch black underwater, it is impossible to observe the situation visually.

But under the projection of sonar radar images, the underwater situation was fully scanned out.

Within 5 kilometers of water at the bottom of the pier, only scattered schools of fish are swimming around.

The largest school of fish was still the school of sharks led by Carol.

In this operation, there were 500 extraordinary fishman guards at his disposal, so Su Wang did not let Carol go along.

These normal cruising fish would be frightened and flee when they approached the diving Wangxin to a certain distance.

Su Wang did not go in pursuit, after all, that was not the target of his operation.

When the diving depth reached 5 kilometers, the number of fish detected increased significantly.

There are already schools of fish fighting each other, indicating that the polluted monster fish already exist at this depth.

In order to attract the strange fish to come closer automatically,

Su Wang did not activate the stealth mode of the Wangxin, but remained visible and dived.

At the same time, a large number of fishman guards were summoned at this moment.

500 extraordinary murloc guards, plus 3.98 golden murloc guards.

A large number of murloc guards formed a mighty guard army near the Deathheart.

However, the polluted fish did not show any fear when facing the large number of fishman guards.

As the diving depth continued to increase, wave after wave of strange fish were killed by the accompanying fishman guards.

In the battleship's capture layer, fish appeared one after another.

Almost in the next second, it will be extracted into the cooking room for decomposition.

Such efficiency,

If the Wangxin stayed at the bottom of the water for just one day, the fish it caught would be as high as tens of thousands.

Unfortunately, the quality of fish caught at this depth varies, ranging from ordinary to gold grade.

But the only thing we were looking for was the extraordinary fish, but we didn't catch a single one.

However, with the added bonus of Menata's qualifications and abilities, the golden-level monster fish can also be decomposed into extraordinary fish materials.

Soon, with the Heart of Death attracting the fish and the fishmen guards hunting them, they had already captured more than a dozen gold-level monster fish.

With the bonus of Menata's qualifications,
一尾黄金级怪鱼可以分解出10份超凡鱼皮、2份超凡鱼胶、15-20份超凡鱼鳞，以及2份超凡鱼筋。

The quantity is obviously much less than the normal decomposition of gold-grade fish materials.

This is the output after 100% resource bonus.

Su Wang speculated that this should be the compression caused by the increase in material level.

The amount of fish material produced by catching a normal extraordinary fish is almost the same.

The materials needed to build an extraordinary cannon were obtained so easily.

If it weren't for the fact that it required a gold-grade fish treasure to manufacture, Su Wang would have considered directly replacing the fleet's extraordinary cannon.

Given the limited output of fish treasures, we can only consider fully equipping the Wangxin.

However, this is not Su Wang's target catch.

Continuing to dive, they soon reached the water layer 10,000 meters underwater.

Fishes swimming at a depth of ten thousand meters,
Through scanning and searching with sonar radar, many fish over a hundred meters in length can be discovered.

This body size is exactly the extraordinary fish that Su Wang is looking for.

With the protection of the murloc guards, there is no need to worry about the vehicle being attacked.

Following the projection of the sonar image, Su Wang began to approach the fish shadow that he had discovered a hundred meters away.

All those that were frightened and fled were normal fish.

Su Wang did not choose to chase this kind of fish.

Some of the ones that attacked after getting close were contaminated extraordinary fish.

Now it is the turn of the extraordinary fishman guard to take action.

There were as many as four or five or as few as one extraordinary monster fish, and they were completely powerless against the 500 extraordinary fishman guards.

Under siege, the only outcome is to be wiped out.

A few extraordinary fish-man guards were injured in the battle.
After the battle, it can quickly proliferate and regenerate to full health.

And an extraordinary monster fish,

After being decomposed by Menata, it can produce 10 parts of sub-sacred fish skin, 2 parts of fish tendons, 5 parts of fish glue, and 20 parts of fish scales.

Take it to Ipark for fish material disassembly. The fish material produced by one extraordinary monster fish is enough to make an extraordinary cannon.

This efficiency is much higher than catching gold-level monster fish.

Considering that there are still extraordinary warships that need to be built, the more extraordinary fish materials there are, the better.

Su Wang was excitedly immersed in the process of finding and killing the strange fish.

After 4 hours, the number of extraordinary monster fish caught had reached more than 3.

However, just when Su Wang found another group of four extraordinary strange fish and was about to approach them, something strange happened.

This group of strange fish, which were originally swimming ten thousand meters underwater, suddenly swam towards the upper water layer.

"rise?"

Su Wang discovered through the sonar images that not only this group of fish, but also other fish schools scanned in the scan were beginning to swim upwards in the water.

The school of fish that originally swam at a depth of 5 meters quickly rose to about 2500 meters.

And those strange fish that lived in the water at a depth of ten thousand meters also rose to the water layer of more than seven thousand meters and were even still swimming upwards.

"What's going on?" Su Wang was confused.

However, not only that, deeper underwater, there are also larger fish that are also swimming towards the water above.

And at this moment, a series of prompt messages appeared in Su Wang's sight.

Some of them are from the fisherman's mark and some are from the dock mark.

[Under special influence, the fisherman's stamina recovery speed is reduced by 50%.]

[Due to special influence, the port's sea clearance range has been reduced by 50%, and the port's lighthouse scanning range has been reduced by 50%.]

[Warning: Due to special influences, unknown pollution suppression has been weakened, and polluted creatures have received a huge boost. Please be careful.]

...

Seeing this series of clues, Su Wang immediately had a guess.

"Is the rainy season coming?"

Su Wang hurriedly contacted the fisherman on the dock above to confirm.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Lao Cao, what's going on at the dock?"

Cao Ge responded immediately.

"Boss, it must be that 'rainy season' you mentioned. It's been raining black rain since just now."

"Now the sky has become pitch black, and I can't see anything at a distance."

"It's a bit chaotic on the dock right now, but someone is already organizing it."

After hearing Cao Ge's answer, Su Wang immediately decided to end the hunt for the time being.

Let’s go back to the dock and see what’s going on first.

Put away all the murloc guards, turn on stealth mode and quickly climb out of the water.

During the climb, sonar images showed that the underwater environment was also in chaos.

It seems that due to the rise of strange fish from the deep water and the strengthening of polluting organisms, a large number of normal fish in the shallow water died.

The originally balanced state seems to have been completely thrown out of balance due to the arrival of the rainy season.

After a while, Su Wang piloted the Wangxin back to the surface.

At this time, the sea was calm. Although there was no wind, raindrops like a torrential downpour filled the sky and the sea.

Su Wang could see through the transparent screen in the command room that it was pitch black outside.

Only one side of the dock was brightly lit.

Special daily necessities that light up when consuming fish coins make the dock the only place of light in this darkness.

Su Wang controlled the Wangxin to take off.

Once docked, it will be immediately transported to the port.

Upon learning that Su Wang was about to return, Cao Ge had already been waiting at the port wearing a fish-skin straw raincoat and carrying two lamps.

Seeing Su Wang appear, Cao Ge immediately came over to greet him.

"Boss, what's going on with this rainy season? Why are even the attributes weakened?"

As he spoke, Cao Ge reached out and handed over a lamp.

With the extraordinary power, when the black rain falls on Su Wang, it will be blocked by the extraordinary power wrapped around his body.

When Su Wang heard what Cao Ge asked, he reached out to take the lamp, but his brows couldn't help but raised.

Attribute weakening? There is such a thing?

"Your attributes have been weakened?"

Hearing this, Cao Ge's eyes widened and he immediately came over.

"Boss, your attributes haven't decreased?"

Su Wang shook his head.

"No, it's just that the stamina recovery rate has been reduced by 50%."

Cao Ge said with envy.

"Ever since the black rain began to fall, I've received a notification that my basic attributes and stamina recovery speed have both decreased by 50%."

"I asked several fishermen, and they all had the same feeling as me."

"Boss, why are you okay? Is it because you are an extraordinary fisherman?"

Su Wang couldn't help but become suspicious when he heard this.

Could it really be related to the fact that I am an extraordinary fisherman?
But no matter what, this rainy season undoubtedly has a great suppressive effect on normal creatures.

The local humans may not be aware of this, but the fishermen have probably received the hint just now.

Pollution creatures receive a massive boost.

The black rain caused the outside world to be pitch black, and even the dock had to rely on lights for lighting.

It is also because of the light from the lamps that the shops on the dock can maintain normal order.

The only difference was that everyone was wearing fish-skin raincoats.

At this moment, Su Wang suddenly thought of the fleet that had been sent out.

He quickly took out the sound transmission shell and contacted several team leaders.

However, the responses were not good news.

As the dock's sea cleaning capacity weakens, the activity areas of the underwater strange fish have changed and even become abnormally active.

Each fleet was attacked by strange fish.

Fortunately, the fleet was equipped with a lot of high-level fish souls, so they remained safe and sound.

Su Wang immediately ordered them to return to the vicinity of the dock.

The underwater monster fish seemed to have lost some kind of suppression, and the deep-sea monster fish were already heading towards the shallow layer.

If the fleet encounters a strange and extraordinary fish, it may suffer losses.

Therefore, the original arrangement is no longer suitable.
