Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 37: Eye-popping Points (Please Read on Monday)
The things have been obtained, and Su Wang is ready to return to the Wangxin.

Several of the goals set for landing at the dock this time have been achieved or even exceeded.

Although the crew only found one,
But finding highly qualified crew members depends too much on luck, and there is too much uncertainty if you force it.

Even if you search the entire pier, you probably won’t find another one that catches your eye.

Su Wang was thinking, why not just leave the Golden Crocodile Wharf and go back to sea tonight.

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be anything else that requires staying at the dock.

While Su Wang was thinking, he walked from the lighthouse registration point towards the Wangxin at the port.

On the way to the Lost Heart,
Two passers-by walked past Su Wang, seemingly preparing to go to the registration point.

When he walked past Su Wang,
The conversation between the two people happened to reach Su Wang's ears.

"I'll take advantage of today's merits to exchange for more fish coins. There's a merchant fleet coming tomorrow."

"It seems the Golden Crocodile Family's fleet will also be returning tomorrow. They will probably be joining the merchant fleet."

...

The two of them just brushed past Su Wang.

These were the only two sentences I could hear; the rest of the conversation was not very clear.

When Su Wang heard these two sentences,

The figure walking towards the Heart of Destruction suddenly paused, thinking back to the information he had just heard, and thought for a moment with hesitation.

"Would you like to stay another day?"

It doesn’t matter whether you visit the Golden Crocodile Family’s fleet or not, the main thing is that the merchant fleet seems to be a bit interesting.

This merchant fleet is obviously selling things.

But since they can organize a fleet to sell goods at various docks, the fleet must have a lot of good things.

"It's so late today, I can sleep till tomorrow."

"Stay a little longer tomorrow during the day, and leave if you don't find anything good."

Su Wang made a decision in his heart.
Let's wait and see tomorrow what goods the so-called merchant fleet sells. If there's nothing good, it's not too late to leave.

...

Su Wang walked all the way back from the lighthouse registration point to the Wangxin.

Back on deck,
Su Wang drove the Wangxin to a water area a kilometer away from the dock and stopped.

Thus,
You will not be kicked out for docking without registration, nor will you incur docking fees.

The Heart of Death is not affected by waves, so there is no need to worry about the ship being pushed away by the waves.

At this time, Su Wang had returned to the room, holding several items he had exchanged from the lighthouse registration point.

The small bag contained only 74 fish coins.
Su Wang took a quick look, made sure that he had not given too little, and then put it into the fish hold.

After the other five small wooden boxes were opened,
Each of them contains a dark green diamond-shaped stone and four props that look like ship cannon models.

When Su Wang looked at these props, their information immediately appeared in his sight.

【Backtracking Stone】

Quality: Bronze level.

Function: After use, it can restore 500 points of warship durability.

Tip: Due to the extremely small amount of time essence contained, the same warship can use up to 3 per hour.

...

【Universal Ship-Mounted Cannon】

Level: Black Iron.

Additional power of fish bomb: basic 50 + warship strength*1 + ship operator strength*20%.

Rate of fire: 10 seconds/round.

Condition: Unassembled.

Function: Can be installed in the warship gun slot. Every 10 Azure Fish Coins consumed will produce one fish bullet. The daily reserve limit of fish bullets is 20.

Tip: The number of equipment to be equipped depends on the size of the warship.

...

"Warship?"

"Can the Heart of Death be used?"

Seeing the information about the ship's cannon, Su Wang felt a little confused.

I tried it immediately.
The prompt I got was that the vehicle currently did not have a facility slot and could not be assembled.

"It seems that we need to upgrade it to a level 4 vehicle before we can use it."

Currently, the Wangxin does not have the function of equipping a giant cannon, and the vehicle name prompted when upgrading to the next level is Qinglin Warship.

Su Wang estimated that he would be able to use these ship-mounted cannons soon.

Thinking of the memory of being threatened by the bombardment of the giant ship the day before yesterday, Su Wang secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

Once the Heart of Destruction is equipped with a giant cannon, we will be able to fight back next time we encounter such a situation.

First put the four ship-borne cannons into the fish hold, and then take them out for use after upgrading the vehicle to level 4.

Su Wang immediately came to the operating table in the room, ready to repair the broken golden dock pointer in his hand.

Repair the required conditions,
Apart from the fact that the Backtracking Stone is a little rare, the other two conditions are nothing special.

Soon, the backtracking stone that had just been obtained disappeared from the fish hold.

Su Wang took out the repaired golden dock pointer from the fish hold to check the information.

【Locate the Golden Pier Pointer】

Effect of use: After use, according to the user's current location, search and point out the location of the nearest hidden golden dock, and provide the sea area information of the target location.

Hidden location sea area information: pointer not used.

Tip: The Golden Wharf can produce 5 random materials, and at least one of the output materials is gold-level material.

...

"It's exactly what I expected!"

Su Wang's eyes, slightly tired from staying up late, suddenly widened. The quality of the dock indicator was just as he expected, related to the quality of the materials produced by the dock.

Unexpectedly,
The Golden Wharf can produce 4 more types of materials than ordinary wharfs!
Su Wang couldn't wait to use the pointer in his hand.
I want to see some information about the sea area where this hidden golden pier is located.

After he selected the use with his mind,
The golden roulette pointer held in the palm of his hand suddenly started to spin.

Soon, the pointer stopped pointing in a certain direction.

At this time, Su Wang also discovered that the item information on the pointer had changed.

【Locate the Golden Pier Pointer】

Used: After arriving at the waters where the hidden dock is located, you can consume the pointer to open the hidden dock.

Hidden location sea area information: Moderately polluted sea area, 2176.7 nautical miles away.

Tip: There are an indefinite number of gold-level creatures stationed in the hidden golden dock. Defeating the stationed creatures will allow you to occupy the dock or extract the dock core.

...

Su Wang looked at the information displayed by the pointer, his brows couldn't help but frown, and the excitement on his face also subsided.

"The gold-level creature is stationed... 2176.7 nautical miles away, and within a moderately polluted sea area."

None of the three pieces of information given by the pointer can be considered good news.

Needless to say, there are gold-level creatures stationed there.

When a red tide breaks out,
Su Wang had already witnessed the horror of the gold-level polluted fish, and the gold-level creatures stationed at the dock must not be much worse.

A distance of 2176.7 nautical miles.

At the current speed of 10 knots,
It would take at least 218 hours of non-stop driving, equivalent to more than nine days.

The location of the moderately polluted sea area is not very clear, but Su Wang feels that it is definitely not good news.

Su Wang found several other positioning dock pointers from the fish hold and checked them.

Except for the silver-level pointer that needs to be repaired with a retrospective stone,
Black Iron grade ones do not require retrospective stones, and only require a few more fish coins to repair.

Su Wang thought for a few seconds and spent 400 fish coins to repair all four pointers.

Then he took out one of the black iron-grade ones and used it as well.

[Locate the Black Iron Pier Pointer]

Used: After arriving at the waters where the hidden dock is located, you can consume the pointer to open the hidden dock.

Hidden location sea area information: slightly polluted sea area, 568.4 nautical miles away.

Tip: There are an indefinite number of Black Iron-level creatures stationed in the hidden Black Iron Wharf. Defeating the stationed creatures will allow you to occupy the wharf or extract the wharf core.

...

"This one is closer, and it's located in a slightly polluted sea area." Su Wang pondered in his heart.

In the pointer prompt, there are two options: occupation and extraction of the dock core.

Occupation is easy to understand, and extracting the core of the dock may be another way to reflect the value of the dock.

Considering the high risk of hiding the Golden Pier information,

Su Wang decided to wait until he left the Golden Crocodile Wharf and then find this hidden Black Iron Wharf to see what the situation was.

The Golden Pier Pointer effect will always be there, so there's no need to rush to look for it until you're sure.

After putting all the dock pointers back into the fish hold, Su Wang couldn't help but yawn.

Having persisted since the outbreak of the red tide until now, the physical and mental fatigue has been very intense.

Su Wang endured his tiredness,

Take the fish skin items obtained from the fish belly to the trading area and sell them.

This kind of prop can only be sold in the initial period, and you will probably get it after a while.

The price is not intended to be too high, all of them are sold at 5 fish coins each.

Once all this is done,
Su Wangben wanted to open the fishermen's exchange area to see what other fishermen were up to, but the fatigue that came over him was too much to bear.
"Forget it, let's go to sleep first. It will be the same if we look at it tomorrow morning."

Yawning, Su Wang went to the bed and lay down.

Within a few minutes, the only sound in the room was the sound of steady breathing.

...

The next day,

Because the sleep time was too short, I still felt a little sleepy when I woke up.

Feel the burning sensation of the scales on the back of your hand,

Su Wang, who was awakened, yawned and summoned the scroll.

"I should be able to get a seven-colored scale this time, right?"

Open the [Fishing Task] column,
The information about last night’s pollution cleanup fishery mission came into Su Wang’s sight.

[Daily settlement task: Clean up pollution - settled.]

Mission rewards: 174 ordinary-level polluted fish, 64 iron-level polluted fish, and 76 bronze-level polluted fish were cleared yesterday.

The total points obtained are: 11670, ranking first among fishermen in terms of total points.

Obtain vehicle naming rights and Fisherman Reputation*10 (vehicle has been named, converted to Azure Fish Coin*10), settlement of Azure Fish Coin*1167, remaining points 5.

...

"Tsk tsk, this is going to cause another heated discussion."

Seeing the clearing points from last night's task settlement,
Su Wang could even imagine what kind of heated discussion this total score of more than 10,000 points would cause in the fishermen's exchange area.

Then look at the rankings.

The Wangxin is unsurprisingly ranked first in pollution cleanup points.

The displayed cleaning points of 11670 are the highest among all.

The Cupid, which ranked second, had 195 points, not even reaching one-third of the points of the Heart of Death.

Su Wang collected the colorful scales as a ranking reward, and immediately planned to post some information in the communication area.

When the mission rankings are settled, the existence of the Heartless will surely attract the attention of all fishermen again.
