Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 212: Knock (6K)

The strange ship sailing also seemed to be in a panic at this moment.

However, the folding mirror matrix had already been activated, and it was too late to discover it.

The light beams that bounce back and forth internalize the matrix into a field of light.

Any strange ship that is hit by the beam will instantly lose its ability to move.

In just a dozen seconds, thousands of strange ships had all stopped moving in the matrix.

After 30 seconds, the beam of light that broke through the clouds was interrupted, and dark clouds filled the gap in the sky.

The brief moment of light was once again obscured by darkness.

“The rainy season is really troublesome…”

Su Wang hurriedly lowered the warship's altitude and dropped the fish-man guards into the water.

Right now, these ships are all purified warships, and they are filled with purified unconscious humans.

Without its operator and in a purified state, the strange fish underwater poses a considerable threat.

When the fishman guards were released, they immediately killed the strange fish that were rushing over.

In the dark,

Su Wang located an ordinary warship and initiated a ship connection.

As for warships that have lost their operators, there is naturally no need to seek consent.

After the base is built,

Su Wang handed the warship over to Tia for control, and he himself was teleported over with the 40 ship division logistics personnel on the warship.

Fortunately, there are logistics personnel who can provide assistance, otherwise Su Wang would have to think of a way to transport these warships back to Qinglong Wharf.

Let a captain temporarily merge the souls of the warship, and then drive the warship to connect with the nearby warships one by one.

Soon, 40 sailors were distributed to 40 warships.

With the distribution of endurance potions, many purified humans also woke up.

The darkness of the vision, coupled with the confusion and fear of just waking up, made the work of explaining and comforting more difficult than ever.

However, these purified humans are also scarce resources, so they can only be processed with a bit more time and effort.

It took more than an hour to gather the unconscious purifiers on the thousand purification warships onto 40 warships.

Su Wang took out some golden fish souls and equipped the warships to facilitate the return to Qinglong Wharf.

After more than an hour, the crisis at Qinglong Wharf should have been resolved.

At that time, we can pick up some sailors and drive the warship back to Qinglong Wharf twice.

...

After more than an hour,
The Wangxin returned to the Qinglong Wharf port along with the last batch of warships.

The initially expanded dock was simply unable to accommodate more than a thousand warships.

On the dock, a large number of people holding lamps were moving around, making it seem a bit crowded.

Ji Boda had never felt so busy at this moment.

There were suddenly nearly three thousand more people on the dock, and even the newly built houses were not enough to accommodate them.

Most people were still being drenched in the black rain, which made him too busy to take care of them for a while.

After finally seeing Su Wang's figure, he immediately trotted over and said in panic.

"Boss Su, what should we do now?"

Su Wang saw the chaotic situation at the dock and understood what he was asking, so he asked immediately.

"Are there still resources to expand the dock?"

Ji Boda was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I have enough resources, but I don't have those reputation stones."

Su Wang immediately took out some reputation stones and handed them over.

"I'll lend it to you."

Reputation Stones are not originally included in the assistance.

The wharf is in urgent need of expansion and there is no room to build extra houses.

We can only let Ji Boda expand the dock here first.

Otherwise, if so many residents were constantly exposed to the black rain, problems would definitely arise over time.

Ji Boda took the reputation stone, took his leave and went to the Lord's Palace to expand the dock.

However, not long after, Su Wang received a call request from Ji Boda.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Ji Boda's question.

"Boss Su, my warning is that the first red tide has not yet passed, and the second expansion will cause the red tide to double in size."

After hearing this, Su Wang thought about it.

I didn't expect that such problems would still exist after the continuous expansion of the dock.

In normal times, this low-level red tide wouldn't be a problem even if the difficulty doubled.

However, it is the rainy season now, and the number of strange fish is increasing.

The uncertainty of triggering a red tide has already increased greatly, and another red tide will double its scale.

He couldn't predict what kind of problems would arise.

But we have to expand now.

Su Wang responded in a deep voice.

"Expand, I'll take care of any problems!"

When Ji Boda heard this, he immediately felt more confident.

The boss said he has it covered, so what is there to be afraid of now!

For a moment, the dock expanded outward again.

And residential houses appeared one after another on the pier.

After leaving the lord's palace, Ji Boda quickly found Su Wang again.

"Boss Su, Hongye's resources are really not enough."

"What to do now?"

Su Wang thought about it and took out the reserved aid resources.

As for the residents on the transport ship, they remained on the ship and were not arranged to go to the dock.

Originally, these 500 residents were intended to serve as Ji Boda's initial personnel.

However, I didn't expect to receive a "big gift" from the polluter as soon as I arrived.

Nearly 3 residents, 900 medium-sized warships and 100 large warships.

Su Wang decided to take another thousand of these residents back with him after the matter was over.

Leaving 2 people behind is enough for Ji Boda to use.

Su Wangxuan immediately taught Ji Boda the initial construction of the dock and the precautions to be taken in the later stages.

Ji Boda was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that there were so many aspects to pay attention to in the construction of the dock, and he also learned many secrets that he had never known.

Afterwards, Su Wang asked Ji Boda to take the captain's baptism potion and go to select some captains to ship the warships.

Su Wang promised to lend the thousand warships captured this time to Ji Boda for initial use.

When the other party needs to replace the warship, we will take it back and sell it to the domestic port.

Compared with Di Anxuan, Ji Boda can be said to have both good and bad luck this time.

Despite the constant troubles, they now had a large number of residents and warships at the start, and their strength caught up and surpassed the past.

However, in terms of special buildings at the dock, he was not as well prepared as Di Anxuan.

Its future development potential is much lower than that of Di Anxuan’s Pearl Wharf.

It depends on whether Ji Boda can make use of the advantages of early warships to make up for the basic foundation.

After Ji Boda left to prepare for the shipbuilding,
Su Wang also began to set up defenses.

According to Ji Boda,

Due to the continuous expansion of the docks, the red tide that was originally supposed to occur the next night was brought forward to this evening.

In addition, the scale of the red tide showed unusual changes, so Su Wang had to be on guard and make preparations.

After all, the promise of a safety net has already been made, and we cannot go back on our word.

Due to the changes in the rainy season and the fact that the sea purification ability has not yet taken effect, strange fish are attacking Qinglong Wharf all the time.

Su Wang immediately drove the Wangxin and began to drop mines along the waters outside Qinglong Wharf.

Except for the second red tide at Fool's Wharf, when the mines' ability to attract fish was used, the mines were used as air raid bombs afterwards.

The Heart of Destruction currently has a terrifying durability of 12, and the mines have the same durability as the vehicle.

This time, the underwater defense line built using mines will be much stronger than before.

In terms of power, it can cause more than 10,000 points of damage in a range, and ordinary gold-level monster fish cannot withstand such terrifying damage.

Defense range,

Su Wang chose a kilometer radius around the dock as the boundary, leaving ample space for the fishman guards to prevent accidental bombing.

The intervals are 100 meters, and each point is to meters underwater, with one missile dropped every meters.

With ample financial reserves, Su Wang felt no reluctance to deploy mines.

Moreover, the losses caused by mines will eventually have to be compensated by the red tide.

Considering the situation of the strange fish being out of control, the danger of this red tide will be far beyond imagination.

But along with the dangers come great rewards.

Su Wang speculated that this red tide might bring about a bumper harvest of high-quality fish.

It’s a good opportunity to experiment with the help of Qinglong Wharf.

If the final result is as speculated, then after returning to Fool's Wharf, a red tide will also be triggered during the rainy season.

Other local ports would certainly not do such dangerous things during the rainy season.

However, with the current strength of Fool's Wharf, it is entirely possible to take the risk.

With the speed of the Wangxin, two circles of mine defense lines were quickly set up around the Qinglong Wharf.

The combined durability of all the mines is a hundred times that of Qinglong Wharf.

As the mines attracted the strange fish, the number of strange fish attacking the dock suddenly decreased a lot.

Su Wang then returned to Qinglong Wharf and arranged for the fleet to patrol the defense line and salvage fish at any time.

Although it is not the red tide yet, with such a large attraction as the pier, it has attracted quite a few strange fish.

Part of the outer defense line built with mines will definitely be detonated before the red tide arrives.

However, Su Wang can fill it up at any time and there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, every explosion would cause the death of at least some strange fish.

As long as the fish are caught in time, the price of a bronze-level fish is far more than the price of laying a mine.

If you can kill silver and gold level monster fish, you will make a lot of money.

By the time Su Wang returned to the port, Ji Boda had already completed the preliminary construction of the fleet.

With the help of the dock prosperity mission rewards, plus 50 bottles of shipmaster baptism potions in the aid resources, and the shipmasters that this group of purifiers already has.

Ji Boda could only barely form a fleet of a hundred ships.

The equipment equipped on the warships are also the lowest level general equipment.

Even so, all his belongings had been drained out.

Seeing Su Wang come back again, Ji Boda hurried over to complain.

"Boss Su, how did you manage to develop so many fleets in such a short time?"

"I've already spent all my money just preparing the equipment. Do you have any little secrets?"

It was fine when he was not the head of the family, but when he became the lord, Ji Boda realized that some things could not be understood by just reading some information.

Initially, people in the communication area said that Fool's Wharf had only been established for less than a month and had already assembled nearly two thousand warships.

This gave Ji Boda an illusion.

That is, it is very easy for the dock lord to form a fleet.

He thought that even if Ji Boda couldn't compete with the big boss, it should be no problem for him to build a fleet of 500 ships in a month.

However, now that he was building it himself, he realized how terrifying the cost of building a fleet was.

He was shocked by the resources consumed in building the basic equipment for a hundred warships alone.

Not to mention that these 100 warships were lent to him by the boss,
If the materials needed to build warships were taken into account, he felt that he might not be able to assemble even 20 combat-capable warships.

Ji Boda finally understood.
It wasn't that forming a fleet was easy, but rather that the boss's financial resources were outrageous. So outrageous that he couldn't even imagine how much resources had been spent.

Su Wang saw Ji Boda coming over with a bitter look on his face and joked.

"You want the secret? I have it!"

When Ji Boda heard this, he immediately asked with a happy face.

"Boss, what's the secret? Tell me about it!"

Su Wang smiled when he heard that.

"Destroy 10,000 to 20,000 Polluter fleets, and we'll have the basic resources."

"Robbery of a few local docks shouldn't be a problem, and getting some fish shouldn't be a problem."

When Ji Boda heard this, his face suddenly became bitter again.

How could he possibly have the ability to do these two "secrets" now?

Destroy a fleet of 10,000 or 20,000 polluter ships?
If they really meet, he would be lucky not to be killed.

Rob a few local docks?

He would be very lucky if the local docks didn't end up robbing his dock.

Ji Boda understood very well that the boss was making fun of him.

I was speechless.

"Boss Su, how could I possibly have the ability to perform this secret..."

Upon hearing this, Su Wang put away his smile and said with a serious expression.

"That's right, you revealed the real secret. There is only one and that is - strength!"

"If you have enough strength, you can naturally acquire resources to a level commensurate with your strength."

After speaking, Su Wang paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"You and the Black Pearl have both received my help, and you already have the foundation to gain strength."

"When I first built Fool's Wharf, no one gave me the basic resources, and I was the only one who could manage it."

"I can't provide assistance with everything. Whether you can truly develop depends on your own efforts."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boda lowered his head in shame.

The reason I came here to ask is that I wanted to get some benefits and obtain more resources.

Now hearing these words,
Only then did I realize that what Boss Wangxin had given me was already more than enough, and it was actually him who was a little greedy.

At the same time, I also realized that

Isn’t the “secret” that the boss mentioned the result of the crises he encountered time and time again?
It’s just that the boss relied on his own strength to overcome crises time and time again and finally reached his current level.

...

Seeing Ji Boda's expression, Su Wang also understood that it was enough to hit him here.

Compared with Di Anxuan's calmness, Ji Boda's personality is too erratic, and he will not be able to take on such a big responsibility without some discipline.

However, Su Wang also understood that his ability to build the dock was due to a certain degree of irreplicability and coincidence.

It takes a lot of time for ordinary fishermen to develop a dock.

Fortunately, the emergence of the Fisherman's Wharf Alliance Mission has made it possible to accelerate the development of the subsidiary wharf.

After each subsidiary terminal completes the task, a portion of the task reward will be transferred to the alliance warehouse.

Combined with the monthly Alliance World Gift Rewards, it is enough to accumulate a large amount of public resources.

Su Wang decided to use these resources to build various warships and equipment and store them in them.

The affiliated dock only needs to complete a certain amount of tasks to receive certain equipment and warship cores to accelerate the development of its own dock.

Now that Ji Boda has been hit with a "stick", it is natural to give him a "sweet date" so that he does not lose the motivation to develop the dock.

Su Wang then informed him of this decision.

After hearing this, Ji Boda's expression turned from bitter to smiling, and he patted his chest and made a promise.

"Don't worry, Boss Su, I will definitely complete the task actively!"

Seeing this, Su Wang nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a small number of warships were already returning to the dock.

Wait until you get closer,
It did not enter the port, but came under the Wangxin, which was hovering above the port.

Steel tentacles extended from the Deathheart and grabbed strange fish of various sizes from the warship.

Some of the fish caught were as large as forty or fifty meters, and were undoubtedly gold-level monster fish.

Ji Boda, who was talking to Su Wang, witnessed this scene immediately.

Boss Su himself was clearly here talking to him, and even that powerful warship was parked above the port.

However, at this moment there is a steady stream of fish harvested.

Among them were some powerful strange fish that even he found difficult to deal with.

Combined with the words he just heard, he suddenly felt emotional.

"Boss Su is right. With a strong power, it will be easier to obtain resources."

Isn’t this scene before our eyes the best verification?
...

In the next time,
Su Wang went to replenish the mine defense line every now and then.

The red tide has not yet arrived, but we have already caught a lot of fish.

The strange fish near the dock will be dealt with by the fishman guards.

Su Wang collected all the strange fish killed by the mine.

After all, Ji Boda did not contribute any effort, so there was no need to share the burden with him.

The catch of the strange fish killed at the dock was divided in half.

Continuous profits,
Instead, Su Wang felt that the rainy season was not all bad.

If you are strong enough, you can harvest fish continuously.

From time to time, you can kill some extraordinary monster fish and get some little surprises.

This is an idea that most local dock lords would not even dare to think about, so I'm afraid only he dares to think about it.

Su Wang decided that after he returned, he would go to the Lord's Palace to check whether the dock's sea purification ability could be shut down.

Actively guide strange fish to attack the dock during the rainy season.

If possible, this rainy season will be a harvest feast lasting more than ten days!
Although the wharf covers a large area, the pressure of setting up the defense line will be much greater than that of Qinglong Wharf.

But it will also attract a lot of strange fish.

At present, he has a large number of gold-level fish souls and one extraordinary-level fish soul.

If it is equipped on the Fish Soul Altar, the quantity can be increased tenfold.

One extraordinary fish soul is equivalent to 5 extraordinary fishman guards.

It is entirely possible to harvest high-quality fish at the dock without having to dive into the sea to fish yourself.

...

Due to the heavy rainy season, it is impossible to judge the time by the sky.

After about four hours had passed, Su Wang estimated that the Red Night should be approaching.

Immediately, the deployment of mine defense lines was strengthened.

Originally there were only two layers, but it was directly increased to 5 layers, and the interval between mine placements was also reduced from 50 meters to meters.

If the fish tide breaks through these five lines of defense, it will suffer huge losses.

If the situation does not meet Su Wang's expectations,
These five mine defense lines alone are enough to deal with the red tide.

In the waters at the bottom of the dock, Su Wang also dived and placed two layers of mines.

The Fish Soul Altar at Qinglong Wharf,
Su Wang even directly asked Ji Boda to remove the fish soul he had prepared and replace it with the level 3 extraordinary fish soul and 797 golden fish souls.

Give the dock murloc guards a major power boost.

When Ji Boda saw the large number of golden fish souls and the extraordinary fish soul, his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

Once again, I felt the gap between myself and the big boss.

Just from the fish soul alone, there is a gap that he cannot reach.

Especially the extraordinary fish soul, he can also check the information of the dock fishman guards produced.

When I saw its terrifying properties, my mouth immediately watered.

It’s a pity that the boss said he was just lending it to him. If he wants to obtain a fish soul of this level, he still needs to work hard on his own.

After a series of preparations,

Although the fleet's combat power is scarce, the defensive strength of the murloc guards has surpassed most of the old local ports.

The 1.5 extraordinary murloc guards alone are beyond the reach of most local ports.

Su Wang didn't believe that with such strength, he couldn't deal with the red tide under multiple changes.

If the situation is not right, he can also smelt the golden fish soul on the spot.

The two extra extraordinary fish souls were the ones that Su Wang had just asked Ipark to smelt.

50 Golden Fish Souls can be exchanged for 2 Extraordinary Fish Souls.
If the fleet's equipment did not need to be considered, the golden fish soul reserves on hand would be enough to smelt more than 1 extraordinary fish souls.

After the defense line was completed, Su Wang and Ji Boda both stayed on the dock and waited quietly for time to pass.

The difference between the two is that,

Su Wang looked calm, while Ji Boda walked back and forth on the four sides of the pier from time to time.

Although it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything.

But it seemed that doing so could ease the tension in his heart.

After waiting for about 40 minutes, Ji Boda found Su Wang in a panic and reported the situation.

"Boss Su, I just received a notification that the red tide will arrive in 30 minutes."

"There was also a warning saying that due to special reasons, the red tide level could not be determined."

Su Wang nodded and comforted him when he heard this.

"Don't worry, since I said I'll cover it, your dock will definitely be able to survive the red tide!"

After hearing Ji Boda's report, Su Wang became more certain of his speculation.

The normal red tide has levels, and should only attract strange fish within a certain area and level range.

The strange fish that is beyond the area and level must be restricted and suppressed by some force.

However, due to the influence of heavy rainy season, this restriction was lifted.

In this way, the fish rush caused by red tide will no longer be restricted to areas or grades.

Among them must be a large number of extraordinary fish, and the fish tide will continue for a long time unless all the strange fish that can be attracted are completely cleared out.

After hearing what Boss Su said, Ji Boda finally felt a little relieved.

He understood that this Crimson Tide was no longer one he could try to participate in.

Whether you can get through it or not depends entirely on whether the boss in front of you is strong enough.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Su Wang was silently counting the time in his heart.

When the time came, a hint suddenly flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

That is the unique information prompt when Hong Ye appears.

At this moment, Ji Boda, who was standing next to him, suddenly let out a low cry.

"Fuck! The attributes have dropped again!"

Su Wang turned his head and hurriedly asked about the situation.

Ji Boda answered immediately.

"Just now it was reported that due to an unknown influence, my attributes have been reduced by half again, now only a quarter of their original value."

Su Wang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He had just received a prompt, but only the endurance recovery effect was disabled.

However, there was no reduction in attributes.

Not only was Ji Boda's attribute weakened by half during the day due to the rainy season, but it was also reduced by half again during the red night.

It can be seen that the rainy season also has a huge impact on ordinary fishermen.

At this moment, Ji Boda said in a panic.

"Boss Su, the murloc guard's attributes have also been reduced to half of their original value!"

And this time, Su Wang was finally moved.

This is not good news.
