Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 42 Silver Fisherman

After Su Wang walked out of the tavern, he immediately put the leather bag in his hand into the fish hold.

While no one was paying attention, he restored the strange features on his face to their original state and joined the crowd walking back and forth in the alley.

Wait until the pedestrians leave the alley,

Su Wang took out the business axle and went to the black cloaked merchant. He used the ship certificate to transfer 1 fish coins to buy a retrospective stone.

This retrospective stone is prepared for the silver dock pointer in my hand.

If the hidden dock is really as Su Wang thought, then the more hidden dock pointers there are, the better.

That silver-grade dock pointer also needs to be repaired.

Now that he had gotten the things, Su Wang didn't plan to stay at the dock any longer.

Although he didn't know whether Novan would come looking for him, Su Wang was more accustomed to assuming the worst of things.

In this way, if things develop in a good direction, there will be no worries, and if things develop in a bad direction, you will also be able to deal with it.

It is always better to plan ahead than to cram at the last minute.

When we returned to the Dead Heart's docking point and stepped onto the deck,

Su Wang felt a little relieved and immediately took out the voice transmission shell to contact Nuowan.

When the voice transmission shell was connected, he told the other party that the things had been put away and they could go and pick them up.

After saying this, he hung up the voice shell without waiting for the other party's response and put it into the fish hold.

Next second,
The Heart of Death left the ship channel and headed in the direction indicated by the Black Iron-class hidden dock pointer.

Looking at the port that was gradually moving away, Su Wang knew in his heart that he might not be able to go back, at least in the short term.

This time when exchanging items, he could have chosen to just muddle through and not give too many fish coins.

However, I will also need to build a dock in the future, and the docks in this world seem to have a mutually supportive relationship.

Maybe I will also deal with these local ports.

As one of the major families in the Golden Crocodile Wharf, it is not worth it for the Horned Eel Family to make enemies in exchange for a few tens of thousands of fish coins.

Although tens of thousands of fish coins may not be a big deal in the eyes of these families.

But thinking that this relationship might be useful in the future, Su Wang was also unwilling to go against his bottom line for a few tens of thousands of fish coins.

Therefore, I paid 5 fish coins as agreed.

Mirei, who was originally staying in the crew room, felt the shaking caused by the ship starting to sail, and also walked out of the room.

When he saw Su Wang standing on the deck, he asked curiously.

"Captain, where are we going?"

Su Wang turned around and looked at Mi Lei who was walking towards him.

First, we took out the fish skin bag containing high-quality purified water that had just been received from the fish tank.

"We are going to find a hidden dock."

Su Wang answered Mi Lei's doubts and then handed the fish skin bag in his hand to her.

"Milei, this is the high-quality purified water I bought for you."

"There are five liters in total. If you drink one liter a day to cleanse your body, it may improve your pollution situation."

When Mi Lei heard what Su Wang said, she looked at the fish skin bag in his hand and was stunned.

When Mirei heard the captain say in the morning that he would help her clean up the pollution on her body, she thought it was just a casual remark to comfort her.

After all, I have never heard of a polluter being cured, or even a case of someone curing a polluter.

But when Mirei saw the fish skin bag handed to her by the captain and learned that it contained extremely expensive high-quality purified water, she felt a little overwhelmed at first, and then moved and unbelievable.

Although Mi Lei is young,

But as a member of the coral family, I am naturally familiar with the value of high-quality purified water.

Su Wang saw Mi Lei suddenly stand there in a daze, and was reluctant to step forward to take the water bag, so he couldn't help but urge her.

"Milei, what are you standing there for?"

Mi Lei immediately responded to Su Wang's urging.
However, he did not step forward to take the water bag. Instead, he hesitated and took two steps back to refuse.

"Captain brother, this is too precious, Captain brother, just use it yourself."

"Mirei... The pollution on Mirei's body may not be cured. It would be a waste to use such a precious thing."

Seeing this, Su Wang felt relieved and wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, Mi Lei knew that Yuanshui was a good thing and still thought of letting him use it.

What makes me laugh is that it seems like this girl didn't take what I said this morning seriously at all.

"I told you this morning that I would cure your pollution. You thought I was lying, didn't you?"

As Su Wang spoke, he strode up to Mi Lei and stuffed the fish skin bag into her hand.

"Besides, this stuff is useless to me. I've already bought it. It would be a real waste if you don't accept it."

As a fisherman who traveled through time, the purity of bloodline has nothing to do with Su Wang at all.

Fishermen who have been contaminated by eating contaminated fish may also need this thing.

But this source water is too valuable. Even if Su Wang sells it, no one can afford it right now.

Mi Lei looked at the fish skin bag that was forced into her hands and could not help but speak timidly.

"Captain brother, Mirei has never heard of a polluter being cured."

"Is it really okay for Mirei to use something this precious?"

Su Wang nodded affirmatively.

"Just follow my instructions and there will be no problem." At the same time, Su Wang couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

Judging from Mirei's reaction, the people of this world may not be aware that purified source water can heal polluters.

Or knowing this,

Is it simply because high-quality purified water is too expensive and rare that it is not used to try to cure the polluters, who are the "enemies"?
After getting Su Wang's confirmation, Mi Lei carefully took the fish skin bag back to the room.

Su Wang stayed on the deck until Wang Xin sailed to a distance far from the dock.

When they saw that the situation at the Golden Crocodile Wharf Port was no longer clear, they stopped the Wangxin.

"It's probably not so clear on the dock now, so it's time to upgrade the vehicle."

The only condition for upgrading to a fourth-level vehicle is the smelting of fish-scale blue steel. In addition, the Heart of Death was previously located near the dock, making it unsuitable for upgrading, which is why it has not been upgraded yet.

Now is the time.

Su Wang first greeted Mi Lei and told her not to be too surprised no matter what happened later.

Then return to the room and turn on the operating table to start smelting.

[Fish Scale Blue Steel]: Consumes 100 black iron fish scales or 10 bronze fish scales, 10 steel, and 10 azure fish coins.

Su Wang checked the material requirements for smelting fish scale blue steel. He could choose two grades of fish scales, black iron and bronze, for smelting.

Considering the consumption of smelting different levels of materials, it is more cost-effective to use up the black iron-grade fish scales first and then smelt the bronze-grade ones.

There are currently 9340 pieces of black iron-grade fish scales in the fish hold. After smelting, only 40 pieces are left, which can be exchanged for 93 units of fish scale blue steel.

The remaining vehicle materials will be filled by smelting 19070 bronze-grade fish scales.

A lot of fish coins and two kinds of fish materials were consumed in a short period of time.

"Smelting alone cost 2 fish coins. The further you upgrade this vehicle, the more resources it consumes."

In less than a day, more than 9 fish coins were reduced to more than 1. Su Wang couldn't help but be shocked.

The last material required for the level 4 vehicle upgrade has now been gathered.

Su Wang immediately called out the vehicle information bar and upgraded the vehicle.

[Consumes wood*1, bronze fish skin*1000, bronze fish glue*1000, bronze fish tendon*1000, fish scale blue steel*2000, vehicle upgrade in progress.]

The prompt information flashed by in sight.

The next second, Su Wang felt the room begin to shake violently.

Just like the last vehicle upgrade, the room space and facilities also began to gradually expand and change.

Through the window of the room, Su Wang could see that the changes outside the room were even more drastic.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that the shaking of the ship gradually stopped.

[Soul Vehicle upgrade completed, Fisherman advanced to Silver Fisherman, Stamina recovery speed increased to 50 points per minute.]

[Soul Vehicle Information: Qinglin Warship.]

Vehicle attributes:
Speed: 10+5 knots.

Strength—50 points.

Endurance——50+10 points.

Vehicle durability: 6000/6000.

Next level vehicle: Silver-scaled double-winged warship. Upgrading requires 10 wood, 1 silver fish skin, 1 silver fish glue, 1 silver fish tendon, 1 silver steel, and 5 kinds of fish treasures, including at least 1 silver-level fish treasure.

The number of fish souls that can be equipped: 2/20, the number of fish treasures that can be equipped: 2/5.

Special blessing: Wind sailing - the vehicle's speed is temporarily increased by 1 times within 1 hour, and can be used 3 times a day.

...

The upgraded vehicle information appeared in Su Wang's eyes.
Just when Su Wang thought it was over, a prompt appeared in his sight again.

[Advanced to Silver level, the Fisherman will receive enhanced fishing gear. Please select the enhancement direction.]

Branch ①: Thousand-Thread Hook - The fishing gear can generate 5 sub-line hooks at the same time, and hook and hit 5 targets, while its own stamina consumption remains unchanged.

Branch ②: Double-headed hook - The fishing gear can cast a double-headed hook. When the hook hits the target with the innate professional skill, it will cause the target to lose stamina twice each time, and your own stamina consumption remains unchanged.

...

"Huh? Fishing gear branches?" Su Wang's eyes suddenly widened a lot.

"Is this a Silver-level Fisherman enhancement? Which one should I choose?"

Su Wang began to analyze the emphasis of the two branch options.

Strengthening branch one enhances the group attack capability of fishing gear, while branch two strengthens the single-target lethality. Both branches have their own advantages.

To put it simply, one is four selves attacking four fish separately, and the other is two selves attacking one fish at the same time.

Su Wang couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

There is an unbalanced talent,

When you encounter a monster fish of the same level, it can basically trigger the double stamina loss effect of the professional skill. After the fish hook is modified, there is a chance to trigger it twice.

Thus,
If you strengthen the selection of branch two, its lethality to individual fish will increase visibly.

But Branch 1 also made Su Wang salivate.

During the Red Tide Battle at the dock, he had experienced the situation where the Heart of Destruction was attacked by multiple strange fish at the same time.

In that case,
If the group attack capability of branch one had been available at that time, the durability of the Heart of Destruction would definitely not have been so low.

...
