Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 29 Maintenance Engineer

Su Wang chuckled upon seeing this.

"You will live on this ship with me from now on. I will show you your room."

Su Wang first took Mi Lei to see the crew room number one where she would live in the future.
Take out daily necessities, clothes, etc. from the fish hold and put them away.

Mi Lei, who had been quietly letting Su Wang lead her all the way, finally took the initiative at this moment.

He entered the room and touched and looked around very carefully, as if every area in the room was a precious thing.

Su Wang noticed that her eyes were much brighter at this moment.
A smile seemed to appear on the face whose expression was hard to see due to the severe abnormality.

Let Mirei get familiar with the room by herself.

Su Wang walked out of the door and summoned the scroll to see what was going on with the crew members taking office.

There is now an additional crew column on the scroll, and when it is opened, Mirei's information is revealed.

After checking, I found that Mi Lei can only work as a vehicle maintenance technician.
Once a maintenance technician is on duty, the maintenance room in the cabin area will also be opened.

Su Wang immediately selected Mi Lei as the crew member for the vehicle maintenance position.

[Crew member Bebes Mirei works as a vehicle repair technician, gaining vehicle strength attribute*1 and endurance attribute*2.]

[The vehicle's durability is increased by 10 points, and the speed is increased by 5 knots. Fishermen and crew members also receive this bonus.]

[The fisherman has enabled real-time communication in the cabin workshop.]

...

As the vehicle attributes improved, Su Wang also felt a sudden and significant improvement in his physical fitness.

Mirei's information on the scroll also changed.

It shows two more skills: vehicle facility repair and vehicle facility maintenance.

However, the skills were not introduced in detail, and Su Wang did not know their effects.

In terms of Mirei's attributes, her strength attribute remains at 20 points, but her endurance attribute has increased to 600 points.

It is upgraded just in accordance with the current attributes of the Heart of Destruction, and the durability increase given by Mirei's repair talent is also added.

"Crew members can improve the attributes of vehicles. I wonder if this effect applies to all crew members of all qualifications?"

"Or does this effect only occur when you reach a certain level of crew qualification?"

Su Wang couldn't help but ponder it.

If only crew members with a certain level of qualifications can have the effect of improving vehicle attributes.

Then the benefits that a good crew can bring are greater than he originally expected.

As for the maintenance technician's blessing, it tends to be more towards endurance.
Su Wang vaguely guessed that if Mi Lei wanted to use those two skills, she might also need this endurance.

At this moment, Mirei in the room suddenly let out a low cry.

After hearing the noise,
Su Wang quickly turned his head and found that Mi Lei was covering her head and seemed a little dizzy.

"Milei, what's wrong with you?"

Mirei shook her head and waited until the dizziness subsided before answering in a soft voice.

"I...I seem to have learned a lot of things all of a sudden!"

After hearing Mi Lei's answer, Su Wang said thoughtfully.

"Feeling better? Let me show you your other room. You should be able to use what you just learned there."

Since he had never been into the maintenance room, Su Wang had no idea what it looked like inside.

But Su Wang guessed that the knowledge that appeared in Mi Lei's mind must be related to the maintenance room.

After seeing Mirei nodded to indicate that it was okay,
Su Wang immediately went to the cabin area.

...

Coming into the cabin,
Mirei, who had never seen such a scene before, looked at everything in the cabin with curiosity in her eyes.

Su Wang led her to the door of the maintenance room and said.

"Push open this door. Inside is the room I mentioned. It's also where you'll be working from now on."

Mi Lei nodded in confusion and reached out to open the door of the maintenance room.
In terms of body shape,
Mirei is probably only in her teens. If she were in the original world, she would definitely be considered a "child laborer".

However, the purpose of finding crew members is to meet the needs of the vehicle.

Now that Milei has taken up the position of vehicle maintenance, her main responsibilities still need to be arranged.

The door of the maintenance room, which Su Wang had been unable to open before, suddenly opened with a gentle push from Mi Lei's little hand.

As the door opened, Su Wang, who was standing outside, could see that the scene inside the room was very unique.

There are several square workbenches set up on the three walls of the room.

Most of the workbenches looked ordinary, with nothing unusual on them.

Only on the largest workbench in the middle, there was a ship model floating, rotating like a timepiece.

Su Wang could tell at a glance that this ship model was a scaled-down version of the Wangxin.

At Su Wang's suggestion,
Mirei walked into the maintenance room carefully and went to the workbench where the hull model was displayed.

Su Wang then tried to step into the room, and after finding that he was not stopped, he followed Mi Lei.

When we got to the ship model,
Mirei closed her eyes as if recalling the ability she had just acquired.

When she opened her eyes again, she suddenly stretched out her little hand and touched the hull model.

Next second,
The little hands touching the hull model and the hull model itself emit tiny light particles.

At the same time, a prompt message appeared in Su Wang's sight.

[The Heart of Death is undergoing hull maintenance, slowly recovering its hull durability by 60 (+30 points)/1 minute (repair qualification +50%).]

...

"Sure enough, the maintenance technician can restore the durability of the hull!" Su Wang was secretly happy.

Although it can only restore 1 points in 90 minute, it is still very impressive.

With Mirei's ability.

At least when sailing, there is no need to worry about the hull being damaged and unable to recover, and having to find a dock for repairs. At this time, Mi Lei released her little hand from the ship model, and the hull maintenance status disappeared.

Su Wang asked immediately.

"Mirei, what ability did you just use? Do you have any other abilities?"

Mi Lei turned around, looked at Su Wang timidly and answered.

"There are still many, many more... but they can't be used now."

"The ship is fine, there's no need...Mirei to use these abilities."

When she said the last few words, Mirei's voice became noticeably softer.

Seeing that Milei looked a little abnormal, Su Wang suddenly felt a little confused.

But within a few seconds, I reacted.
Su Wang couldn't help laughing and touched Mi Lei's little head.

"Just because the ship doesn't use your abilities now doesn't mean they won't be used in the future."

"Don't worry, Mirei, your abilities are very useful. I won't chase you away."

Su Wang didn't know what Mi Lei had experienced in the past that led to her developing this kind of personality.

As she finished saying these words, the timidity in Mirei's eyes finally disappeared.

Su Wang then asked her some questions about her abilities.

Because the abilities seem to involve many aspects, and some abilities lack usage targets.

Mirei couldn't explain it in detail.

But through her general description,

Su Wang still knew a thing or two.

Mirei also needs to consume endurance to use these abilities, and she can also feel the extent of her endurance consumption.

For example, the maintenance status of the Heart of Destruction just now is an ability that consumes little but requires continuous maintenance to maintain.

Su Wang checked Mi Lei's information.
It turns out that the ability just now consumes about 5% of Mirei's own endurance every minute.

The effect of the ability is determined by her endurance limit.

Fortunately, Mirei can also recover a certain amount of endurance every minute. With the consumption and recovery offsetting each other, this ability can be maintained for a long time.

In addition,

In addition to this ability, which consumes little stamina but can only slowly restore the durability of the hull.

Mirei also has another ability that consumes a lot of stamina, but also has a stronger recovery effect.

The effect is that she can recover instantly according to her endurance limit.

Su Wang felt that the repairman’s ability was a bit similar to the “nanny” in the game.

The only difference is that the "nanny" in general games nurses the human characters, while Mirei nurses the ship.

Given that the vehicle will bear most of the damage suffered by the fisherman, it is enough to be able to heal the boat.

Now with Mirei's help,
Su Wang felt much more confident about facing the red tide later.

His biggest worry before was that the vehicle’s durability would not hold up during the red tide.

Although the dock port is nearby, you can return to the dock for repairs if you can't hold on.

But the repair effect of the dock is too slow and requires additional fish coins.
It took a full eight hours to repair the nearly 800 points of durability lost by the Dead Heart last night.

Now with Mirei's ability,
It is equivalent to having a super-enhanced mobile dock on the ship, and the vehicle has the capital to continue fighting.

The difficulty of gaining merits by assisting in resisting the red tide is not clear at present. Sustained combat power will undoubtedly provide more time to gain dock merits.

Considering that the red tide is unlikely to end in a short time, if Mirei frequently uses her abilities, she will also need endurance replenishment.

Su Wang asked Mi Lei to familiarize herself with the maintenance room first.

He went to the counter on the other side of the cabin to place the props.

The take-out counter can be connected to the fish tank.
Su Wang immediately set all the uncontaminated fish, meat, and other ingredients to acceptable status.

What makes Su Wang satisfied is that the pick-up counter will automatically display the item information.

This will also make it convenient for Mirei to take the items as needed.

After placing it, Su Wang immediately called out to Mi Lei who was still in the maintenance room.

He gave the order after she reached the pick-up counter.

"Mirei, I will be manning the boat to participate in the red tide that will break out at the dock in about an hour. You will come with me."

"I'll instruct you to repair the hull through a message when the time comes. Your newfound abilities will be useful then."

Su Wang paused for two seconds after saying this.

He noticed that when Mirei heard that she was going to join the Crimson Tide, there was no fear or resistance in her eyes when she looked at him.

On the contrary, when it was mentioned that her abilities could be used, she listened more attentively.

Su Wang felt very satisfied and continued to add.

"But I hope you do it within your ability and pay attention to your endurance."

Then Su Wang pointed at the many pieces of fish that appeared on the counter.

Let Milei take out some of it to restore her endurance.
He also told her that if she couldn't eat or couldn't hold on any longer, she should immediately inform him through the communication function in the workshop.

In order to prevent emergencies, Su Wang also specially displayed two special rare fish meats at the pick-up counter.

However, these two types of fish must be eaten with his permission.

Since it is currently unpredictable what will happen if you participate in the Red Tide, Su Wang used a very serious tone when instructing Mi Lei.

Fortunately, Mirei seems to be young.

But he seemed very sensible, nodded seriously and promised.

"Got it! Captain Su..., Mirei will definitely do her best!"
