Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 40: Everyone Has Their Needs (Please Read on Tuesday)

What Su Wang held in his hand was the [Small Sound Transmission Shell] that Crab Hand Novan had given him.

At that time, the other party said that if you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can contact him through this sound transmission shell.

Right now, the other party is not far away.
Su Wang also saw that the girl named Tia also had an exquisite business scroll in her hand.

If you contact the other party and they are willing to help you see if you can buy high-quality source water, then the problem seems to be solved.

But Su Wang understood one thing in his heart.
When the two parties are not familiar with each other, seeking help comes at a certain cost.

The price can be high or low, depending on the inner thoughts of the person being sought.

Su Wang held the sound transmission shell in his hand and made up his mind after hesitating for a few seconds.

He opened the sound-transmitting shell, pressed the pearl embedded in the shell, and placed it next to his ear.

...

Novan, who was waiting beside Miss Tia, suddenly changed his expression. He took two steps forward to Miss Tia, leaned over and whispered.

"Miss Tia, I'm going to take a message."

At this time, Tia tapped her lips with the tip of one finger, holding the business axis in the other hand, with the corners of her mouth slightly pouting as if she was in great distress.

When he heard the voice next to his ear, he turned his head and smiled innocently.

"Uncle Novan, go ahead. You don't need to greet Tia for such a small matter."

Novan naturally knew that Miss Tia's current expression was for Master Cindy to see, and it would be foolish for him to take it seriously.

"Okay lady."

After responding, Nuowan walked to a slightly further distance, took out a sound transmission shell, placed it next to his ear and whispered.

"I'm Novan, what do you want from me?"

...

Hearing the voice coming from the sound transmission box, Su Wang immediately responded.

"Excuse me, but I'm the captain of the sailboat on that stormy day. Mr. Novan, do you remember me?"

The person on the other end of the sound transmission shell seemed to be silent for two seconds before the sound continued to come.

"I remember now. According to the time, you should have arrived at Golden Crocodile Pier a long time ago, right?"

"You're contacting me now, are you having any problems?"

Su Wang organized his words in his mind.

"I need some high-quality purified water. Does Mr. Novan know where I can get it?"

As soon as Su Wang finished speaking, a response with a hint of surprise came from the other end of the voice transmission shell.

"High-quality purified water? With the purity of your bloodline, you shouldn't need this, right?"

Hearing the doubts raised by Novan, Su Wang hurriedly added.

"A friend of mine needs it. I wonder if Mr. Novan has a way to get it?"

There was a pause of a few seconds before a response came from the other end of the sound transmission shell.

"A Pisces caravan arrived at the dock today, and Miss Tia did purchase a certain amount of high-quality purified source water."

When Su Wang heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As he had expected, the contents of the business axes held by these family members were different from those of ordinary business axes.

However, the next words that came out of the voice transmitter Bene immediately poured a bucket of cold water on his heart.

"However, this high-quality purified water is in short supply and not cheap. Besides, it will be very useful to Miss Tia."

Although it was not pointed out directly, Su Wang still heard the rejection in the words.

First, the price of this high-quality purified source water is very high, and even people from these major families are subject to purchase restrictions.

Secondly, this thing is also very rare to the Tia girl, and it is impossible to sell it to him casually.

Su Wang was speechless for a moment.

Having high-quality purified water is good news, but the other party doesn't seem willing to help at the moment.

Seeing that there was no response, Nowan, who was on the other end of the sound transmission shell, also spoke.

"It seems difficult for me to help you with this, but if you are willing to join Miss Tia, perhaps Miss Tia might reward you with some high-quality purified water."

Su Wang felt even more depressed when he heard this.

Sure enough, the other party put forward conditions, and they were conditions that he could not accept.

After a few seconds,
The person on the other end of the sound transmission shell found that there was still no response and lost his patience.

"Sorry, I still have to accompany Miss Tia. Let's end the call now."

"You can consider my suggestion. It may be your easiest chance to obtain high-quality purified water."

Seeing that he was about to lose the opportunity to talk, Su Wang made up his mind and responded immediately.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Novan, does your lady still need to find the two-horned thunder eel?"

Since you cannot accept the conditions proposed by the other party, try to find another breakthrough that can make the other party moved.

Su Wang decided to take a gamble.
Judging from what happened on the day of the rainstorm, the other party is very concerned about the two-horned eel.

Now we can only bet that the other party still hasn't found the two-horned thunder eel, and use this as a condition for the transaction.

Less than half a second after he finished speaking, the other party's follow-up question immediately came from the voice transmission beneficiary.

"Do you have any news about the two-horned thunder eel?"

Su Wang heard a hint of urgency in Nuowan's tone, which meant that his bet was right.

The establishment of demand has also allowed Su Wang to slightly regain the right to speak, and he is no longer left to the other party's thoughts as before.

Su Wang continued in a deep voice.

"Before answering your question, I'd like to ask, does the double-horned eel require a specific part or a whole fish?"

Novak responded quickly.

"Little brother, my lady only needs a certain material from the two-horned thunder eel."

"However, the value of this material is not too high. It is unrealistic for you to exchange this information for high-quality source water."

"If you are willing to tell me about the double-horned ray eel, I can pay you a large sum of fish coins on behalf of my lady."

Hearing this, Su Wang's mood fell again, thinking that the conditions he offered were not proportional in the eyes of the other party.

But he immediately realized that there were some problems.

From a slightly indifferent attitude to suddenly calling himself "little brother" this time.

Su Wang recalled the situation during the rainstorm that day.
It was possible for Tia, a young lady from the family, to go out alone with her guards in the heavy rain to look for this kind of material.

It can be seen that the demand for this material is very high, and there may even be some unknown factors involved.

Su Wang also decided to take another gamble.

"I have the Thunder Man Horn, I just need to exchange it for some high-quality purified source water."

Since the other party wants the materials from the two-horned thunder eel,

Su Wang thought of the name of the Thunder Eel family and the strange horns on Miss Tia's forehead.

It is very likely that what the other party wants is the special material of those two rare horns.

As Su Wang's voice was transmitted, there was silence for a long time on the other end of the sound transmission bezel, but the sound transmission bezel never interrupted the call.

Su Wang also waited patiently for his response.

Just a few seconds later, Novan's deep voice sounded again from the sound transmission box.

"I need to ask Miss, and I'll get back to you later."

When Su Wang heard this, he was instantly overjoyed.

There is a play!

...

On the other side, Novan temporarily stopped the sound transmission shell in his hand.

After slightly adjusting his facial expression, Novan walked back to the area where the three major family teams were located.

When he returned to Tia,

Tia, with an innocent smile on her face, turned and asked Novan who was walking over.

"Uncle Novan, you're back. The caravan brought a lot of goodies this time. Tia doesn't know what to buy."

"Uncle Novan, why do you look so weird? Do you have something to say to Tia?"

With a slightly coquettish tone and a bright smile on her face, she looks like an innocent girl with no bad intentions.

Novan also forced a simple and embarrassed smile on his face.

"Miss Tia, I just received a call from a junior who I'm optimistic about. He asked me to help him find some high-quality purified water."

"Miss, could you please buy some for me? I accepted a favor from that guy the day before yesterday, and it's hard to refuse."

When Tia heard these words, her eyes fluctuated slightly.

"Is that so? Then Uncle Novan, please go shopping with me."

As she spoke, Tia lifted up her skirt and walked towards the man in the black cloak.

Novan, his personal bodyguard, followed immediately.

This scene happened,
All of this fell into the eyes of another young man in the Horned Eel Family team, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he did not care too much.

...

After walking a distance away from the family team and making sure that the sound cannot be heard,

Although Tia still had that naive expression on her face, her voice had obviously become much colder.

"what happens?"

Novan immediately replied softly.

"Miss Tia, we've got news on what you're looking for. It's the ship captain from the day before yesterday who's asking for high-quality purified water in exchange."

Hearing this, Tia tried hard to control her expression from changing too much.

"Is it the captain with the exceptionally pure bloodline? How much high-quality purified water does he want?"

Novan replied in a deep voice, "He didn't say how much he wanted, but he directly offered to exchange it for what you wanted."

"From their performance, it seems they don't know the value of high-quality purified source water."

Tia's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

It's not that I don't like having to exchange high-quality purified water for what I need.

But she was unhappy that the person she had kindly let go actually had what she wanted.

The owner of the thing happened to appear in the sea area where the rainstorm occurred that day, and happened to be in the water area where the potion was spread.

All these factors come together,
This undoubtedly shows that the source of the things in the other party's hands was most likely intercepted by the other party in advance that day.

I thought that I had to exchange it for high-quality source water.

This made Tia feel bad that she had been cheated of both her money and her heart.

"I'll give you 5L of purified water. Go and exchange it with him."

"Oh right...it's too easy for him to exchange it with him. I can charge him some fish coins, but no matter what, I have to get the item."

Novan nodded immediately to show that he understood.

But from Miss Tia's increasingly cold tone, I could vaguely sense that she was a little angry.

"I understand. I will definitely satisfy you."

Tia nodded when she heard this.

He came to the traveling merchant in a black cloak and handed over the business axis.

The traveling merchant in a black cloak who took the merchant reel turned around and fiddled with the boxes piled behind him for a while.

After a while, some water bags and small boxes were handed back to Tia.

Novan took the water bag from Tia, turned around and walked towards an alley.

Looking at Novan's back as he left,
Tia calmed down, put on an innocent smile, and walked towards the family area where she came from, holding up her skirt.
