Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 50 Fishing Line Effect
Su Wang originally only planned to use this ordinary fishing gear accessory to modify the fishing line.

But when I thought of this situation, I suddenly had a new idea.

"How about replacing the fishing line with a high-end fishing gear accessory and give it a try?"

As for the replacement parts, Su Wang decided to directly replace the highest silver-level accessories for an attempt.

Su Wang, who did what he thought, touched the ordinary fishing gear accessories and the fishing rod in his hand.

The next second, the transformation prompt message suddenly appeared.

[Fishing gear has been upgraded with standard accessories. Please select the enhanced part of the fishing gear.]

Main Rod - Each time you consume your own stamina, the consumption is reduced by 50%, and there is a 50% chance that no stamina will be consumed (Silver-level accessory, replaceable).

Reel - The triggering frequency of the profession's innate skills is increased by 20% (common-level accessory, replaceable).

Fishing Line - Increases the length of the fishing line by 10 meters.

Fishhook - Every time the target's stamina is lost, there is a 20% chance of causing double the loss (Black Iron grade accessory, replaceable).

...

Su Wang immediately replaced the silver-level accessories of the main pole.

[The fisherman's fishing gear accessories have been replaced, and the silver-level fishing gear accessories have been stored in the fish hold.]

The modified effect of the main rod has now changed to reducing consumption by 10%, and the probability of not consuming stamina has also been reduced to 10%.

But Su Wang didn't care too much.

The reason is that after being promoted to Silver Fisherman,

Without using his talents, his own endurance value is already as high as 1200 points, and the abundant endurance is enough to meet the long-term consumption of his innate skills.

Su Wang then quickly took out the replacement silver-grade fishing gear accessories from the fish hold and modified the fishing line.

[The fishing line has been upgraded to a silver-level fishing gear accessory, and the length of the fishing line has increased by 40 meters.]

“The renovation is complete, and we’ll see how it actually works…”

Su Wang immediately prepared to continue casting his rod and fishing.

When I was about to cast my rod,
But his eyes caught sight of the bait hanging on the fishhook, which made him pause.

[Bait: Iron-grade Double-horned Thunder Eel Meat, Induction Range +400%, Remaining Quantity 99.7%]

...

"The induction range is +400%, just as I expected." Su Wang's eyes flashed.

Originally, the bait information only displayed the remaining amount.

Now that the fishing line has been modified, there is an additional prompt on the bait to increase the induction range.

The effective range of this bait's induction should come from the growth of the fishing line.

Although Su Wang was not quite sure how large the effective range of the bait was.

But since the range has been expanded by 4 times,
It will undoubtedly affect waters deeper than the original range, and even the horizontal waters are affected.

Su Wang immediately continued to wave the bait and threw it into the water.

This time, the bait was in the water for less than 2 minutes.

Su Wang waited for the signal that the fish were attracted, and received two signals in a row.

[A tiny jewelfish smelled the bait and became very interested in it, heading towards the bait.]

A small jewelfish has smelled the bait and is interested in it, heading towards where it is.

...

"The effect is indeed different!" A hint of excitement flashed across Su Wang's face.

Although no medium-sized jewel fish were attracted,
Being able to attract two jewel fish in such a short time is enough to show the role of the amplified luring effect.

As two jewel fish were attracted by the bait,

It wasn't long before the clue that the jellyfish was near the bait came.

It seems that since the two jewel fish arrived at almost the same time,
The miniature jewelfish was quickly frightened by another small jewelfish and fled.

Seeing this, although Su Wang had expected it, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But it is also a good thing to be able to catch a bigger treasure fish.

However, just as the message showed that the small jewel fish was about to bite the bait,

A new prompt message appeared in Su Wang's sight.

[A large jewelfish smelled the bait and seemed to be interested in it, heading towards the bait.]

...

Su Wang was instantly overjoyed.

"Large jewel fish!"

But before he could be happy for even a second, a special message prompt informed him that the small jewel fish had taken the bait.

[The small jewelfish has swallowed the bait. The bait can last for 2 minutes and 58 seconds.]

[The small Jumbo Fish has taken the bait. You have 178 seconds to drag it out of the water. Once the time runs out, the small Jumbo Fish will trigger its ability to escape the hook.]

The large jewelfish lost the scent of the bait and swam away on its own.

【Small treasure fish】

Fish species rarity: mysterious fish.

Strength: 1.

Endurance: 4600/5000.

A mysterious fish that lives only in secret places, with treasures in its belly.

...

"Damn!" Su Wang immediately held back a curse.

Catching a fish is indeed good news, but this good news is based on missing out on a bigger treasure fish.

Because the small jewel fish had already swallowed the bait, the large jewel fish that had just been attracted did not notice the existence of the bait and actually left.

That was a large treasure fish that could produce gold-level fishing gear accessories. Su Wang suddenly felt like pounding his chest.

Now the small jewel fish has taken the bait.
Although Su Wang was very sad about the departure of the large jewel fish, the more important thing at the moment was to catch the small jewel fish as soon as possible.

First, it saves the consumption of bait.
Secondly, you should seize the time to re-bait and try to lure the large jewel fish back before it goes too far away.

Su Wang immediately changed his own attributes,
Increases Strength to 200 points, and the stamina consumption rate of small gemfish within sight also increases to 0.8 points per 800 seconds.

To speed things up,

Su Wang even consumed his stamina to use the ability of Suffocating Wind to further increase the damage to the small treasure fish.

Under the effect of Suffocating Wind, the stamina consumption rate of small treasure fish increases sharply to 1600 points each time.

In less than three seconds,
A bright yellow fish about 1.5 meters long was dragged out of the water.

Su Wang immediately brought it back to the deck of the Wangxin.
Then he didn't even bother to kill and decompose it, and quickly freed the hook and continued to throw it into the water.

"I hope it didn't go too far..."

We are seizing the time so quickly just to catch the large treasure fish we just missed.

However, more than ten seconds after the bait fell into the water, there was still no sign that the jewel fish was attracted.

Su Wang's mood became increasingly agitated.

"Did it really swim far away?"

According to the information before fishing for small and medium-sized treasure fish, this large treasure fish should have just swum into the range of bait lure.

But within a second,
The small jewel fish swallowed the bait, causing the bait's induction effect to cease.

Therefore, it is very likely that within just a few seconds of catching a small jewelfish, the large jewelfish has already swum out of the range that the bait can lure.

As the bait fell into the water for nearly 1 minute,

When Su Wang was already filled with anxiety, a special prompt finally appeared in his sight.

A small jewelfish has smelled the bait and is interested in it, heading towards where it is.

...

"Small...small again."

When Su Wang saw this prompt, he thought that the missed large treasure fish had been attracted here.

But upon closer inspection, what was lured was still a small jewel fish.

According to the allure of Black Iron Grade rare fish meat to small treasure fish,
When this small treasure fish arrives near the bait, it will most likely choose to bite the hook.

Su Wang now has two options to choose from.

One is to wait for the small jewel fish to come over, and then catch it without much effort.

The upside is that at least you can get the profits from the small treasure fish, although bronze-level fishing gear accessories are not the main goal this time.

The price is the loss of some of the remaining bait.

Another option,

Just pick up the bait and give up the small treasure fish.

Information about a large jewel fish has just appeared, which means there is a chance of catching it.

If you choose to re-bait to attract the next jewelfish, it is best to wait until a medium-sized or larger jewelfish appears.

This way you can save bait while screening the targets you need most.

The price is to give up some of the precious fish that do not meet the target.

After hesitating and thinking for a few seconds, Su Wang finally decided to continue waiting for this small treasure fish.

There were more than a dozen pieces of double-horned eel meat used as bait in the fish hold.

There is still plenty of time in the secret realm, not to mention that there is a second colorful scale in hand.

It seems a pity to give up the gains that are already within reach just to gain higher profits.

Su Wang decided to limit it to 20 minutes.

If you still don't catch a jewel fish of the expected size within 20 minutes, implement the second plan.

Although his current demand for low-level fishing gear accessories is not high, he can think of the phenomenon on today's fishing mission rankings.

At present, other fishermen have begun to develop gradually, and the fish coins in their hands will gradually become abundant in the near future.

The fishing gear accessories that he has no use for are treasures to other fishermen.

Selling these fishing gear accessories at that time will not only bring in considerable profits, but also increase the survival rate of other fishermen.

At the very least, once the dock is built, these fishing gear accessories can also serve as a means of attracting fishermen.

Nearly a minute after the information about the small jewel fish being lured appeared.

In just a few seconds,
Su Wang received multiple signals within his sight that the small jewel fish had come near the bait and had taken the bait.

The fishing rod trembled, and Su Wang immediately used the ability of suffocating wind.

Just 3 seconds later, another bright yellow jewel fish appeared on the deck of the Lost Heart.

Currently, the Silver level has a recovery rate of 50 stamina per minute.

As long as you don't use Suffocating Wind continuously for a short period of time, the time you spend waiting for the next jewel fish to appear is enough for your endurance to recover on its own.

Such efficient fishing speed,

Just this amount of double-horned eel meat can support the fishing of more than 50 small treasure fish.

However, Su Wang still hoped to attract medium or even large sized treasure fish, which was his main goal.

Su Wang then dealt with the two small treasure fish on the deck.
After obtaining the two bronze-grade fishing gear accessories, replace the ordinary-grade fishing gear accessories on the fishing rod and reel.

It is not clear how difficult it is to catch a large jewel fish.
If you really catch something, you can be more confident if you improve your own strength a little more.

After dealing with it, Su Wang put down the bait again to continue attracting the appearance of the treasure fish.
