Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 81 Support
Esther was left in the room to arrange daily necessities.

Cao Ge followed Su Wang to visit the Fool's Wharf, although the total area was only 900 hectares.

For buildings on the pier,

Cao Ge was unable to see the information about the buildings, but he could vaguely sense that these buildings seemed to have their own unique uses.

But this did not prevent him from showing an uncontrollable look of surprise on his face.

After all, there were many mysterious buildings that he could not see at the Fire Shrimp Wharf.

The two stopped only when they arrived at the Yuyu Lake.

Cao Ge looked at the scenery of lakes and forests and couldn't help asking.

"Tsk tsk... Boss Wangxin, building this dock wasn't easy, was it?"

"The other fishermen have been talking about your terrifying mission points these past two days!"

Su Wang, who was standing two steps in front, turned his head and looked at him and chuckled.

"We did encounter some minor troubles, but we resolved them smoothly."

As he spoke, Su Wang took out a small box from the fish hold and handed it to Cao Ge.

"This is the promised reward. I hope Brother Cao will pay more attention to the dock."

Cao Ge, who once entered the top ten of the mission rankings,
Seeing the turbot pattern printed on the small box, I naturally knew what was handed over.

After hesitating for two seconds, he chose to take it.

"Boss Wangxin, you are too polite. However, I, Lao Cao, am not very strong. This item is of great help to me, so I shamelessly accepted it."

After receiving the things,

Before Su Wang could speak, Cao Ge sighed lightly.

"Boss Wangxin, this pier is the first one among us fishermen. Since you think highly of me, Lao Cao, it's only right that I help out."

"But considering your strength, I, Cao, may not be able to help you."

After hearing this, Su Wang pondered for a few seconds.

What Cao Ge said was not an excuse, but it was indeed the case.

Compared to the Heart of Death and the hundreds of thousands of fishmen guards on the dock,

The combat power provided by Cao Ge and Qin Shi Huang is indeed minimal at present.

Perhaps only when the number of fishermen coming to the dock reaches a certain size and forms a fleet can they provide combat assistance.

Su Wang thought for a few seconds before responding.

"Lao Cao, the dock has just built its foundation.
If we want to develop, my own strength is not enough."

"I hope you can take care of the dock for me, Lao Cao, so I can continue to search for more materials that will help the dock's development."

When Cao Ge heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"Boss Wangxin, are you planning to leave the dock and leave me alone to watch over it?"

“This…this won’t do…”

Cao Ge subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After all, with his current strength, it's good enough that he can take care of himself.

Su Wang waved his hand, indicating that Cao Ge didn't need to worry.

"Don't worry, don't we still have the ability to shuttle through anchor points?"

"If there's a problem at the dock that you can't handle, call me immediately and I'll shuttle back as soon as possible."

Cao Ge also recovered from his tension at this time.

"Boss Wangxin, this task is too heavy. I'm afraid I can't handle it with my current strength..."

"If other fishermen come over later, I don't have your prestige to control them."

Su Wang also realized that Lao Cao’s strength was indeed insufficient.

I dare to recruit fishermen.
A big reason is that they are confident in their strength and are not afraid of troublemakers.

If you really want Cao Ge to become the current manager of the dock, you really have to improve his strength to a certain extent.

Su Wang thought for a while and asked Cao Ge a question.

"Lao Cao, your vehicle should be upgraded soon, right?"

"If you're willing, I can help you improve your strength in advance, but you'll have to pay a certain amount of merit in advance."

Since we have decided to recruit some fishermen,
As the number of personnel at the dock increases, it is naturally necessary to formulate various systems to maintain the normal operation of the dock.

Su Wang thought of the dock merit system he had encountered at the Golden Crocodile Wharf, which should be able to be borrowed.

By prepaying merit, Lao Cao's strength can be improved in advance, giving him the ability to surpass other fishermen.

Firstly, when he is not at the dock, Cao Ge can protect it on his behalf.

Secondly, after the dock is established, we must not only consider improving our personal strength, but also develop our power.

The Qin Shi Huang has been assigned to Fool's Wharf, and Cao Ge is considered one of them.
In addition, his character seems to be acceptable, so Su Wang intends to cultivate him.

Fool's Wharf will definitely recruit some local humans in the future, but there may be no shortage of fishermen either.

By then, Su Wang will be responsible for coordinating the overall situation of the dock.

It is best for fishermen and local humans to have secondary managers.

And Cao Ge is the secondary manager of the fisherman group temporarily selected by Su Wang.

But this also depends on whether Cao Ge is willing.

After Cao Ge heard what Su Wang said,
His slightly plump cheeks suddenly turned red and his blood pressure rose a little, not because of anger, but because of excitement.

He immediately understood what Su Wang meant.
She is planning to expose her thighs so that he can hug her!
"Hehe... I'm willing! Of course I am, but what kind of merit are you talking about, boss?"

Su Wang hadn't yet figured out how to set up merit awards, but he explained to Cao Ge. "Merit awards are naturally rewards for contributions to the docks."

"If you are willing to help me guard the dock,
I can provide materials and facilities in advance to help you improve the combat capability of your vehicle.

However, all of these require you to overdraw a certain amount of dock merit in advance in exchange."

"Of course, I will also regularly award you a certain amount of merit based on your performance, allowing you to repay the merit you overdrew in advance."

After Cao Ge heard this,
I immediately understood the meaning of merit. Rather than calling it merit, it would be more straightforward to say it is "salary".

However, Cao Ge, who is already quite old, naturally understood the principle that one step faster leads to faster steps.

"Okay... since you trust me, Boss, I'll give it a try!"

Immediately, Su Wang also asked what resources Cao Ge still needed.

The Qin Shi Huang actually has enough bronze-grade fish materials, but it lacks a rare fish material required for upgrading.

The reason why Cao Ge rushed to the Fool's Wharf so excitedly was that he wanted to ask Su Wang for some materials.

Of all the fishermen,

If we talk about the person with the most rare materials, it is none other than Su Wangli, who has caused several announcements.

Hearing Cao Ge's needs,
Su Wang immediately gave several options.

One is the two kinds of silver rare fish materials he already has in his hands,
However, it requires 1 points of dock merit to exchange.

Secondly, in the fish breeding lake, two rare fish materials will soon be bred, and these two types only require 100 and 300 merits.

When Cao Ge heard that the lake in front of him could actually breed rare fish, shock immediately appeared on his face.

"Holy crap! Boss, are you saying this lake regularly produces rare fish?"

After receiving Su Wang's affirmative answer,
Cao Ge looked at Su Wang with a complicated look.

He hadn't heard of many fishermen catching rare fishes.
But now, Su Wang not only has two kinds of rare silver fish materials in his hands, but he can even produce rare fish on a regular basis.

This made Cao Ge feel that comparing oneself with others would only make one feel depressed.

They are all fishermen, why are they so different?

...

Finally, Su Wang lent Cao Ge a piece of purple magic skin produced from the purple magic jellyfish according to his choice.

Then there is a certain amount of bronze-level ordinary fish materials, which are counted as 100 merit points.

After Qin Shi Huang was upgraded to a Level 4 vehicle by Cao Ge,

Su Wang also gave him the four general-purpose ship-borne cannons unloaded from the Wangxin, at a value of 4 merits each.

The idle Black Iron Fish Souls were also given away at the price of 100 merit points each, with 10 given away.

Taking good things one after another from Su Wang,
The expression on Cao Ge's face changed from initial surprise to trepidation, and finally to a wry smile.

"Boss, you have too many good things."

"I'm now owed 2900 Merit Points. Will I be able to pay it back even if I sell myself out?"

It took less than half an hour to arrive at Fool's Wharf.
Cao Ge witnessed the Qin Shi Huang undergoing earth-shaking changes, and its strength increased by several levels.

However, the expression on the face of the person who caused all this did not change at all.

It was as if these things were taken out without any regard for their importance.

This made Cao Ge sigh again, he was indeed worthy of being a fisherman who could build a pier.

This courage alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

Su Wang chuckled when he heard Cao Ge's concern.

"Well, the lighthouse at the harbor is still short of staff.

If your old lover is free to help guard the place, he can give you 1 merit point and 1 fish coin as salary every day."

"Lao Cao, if you stay at the dock for one day, I will give you 10 merit points.
When other fishermen arrive, you will also receive 100 Merits for each one you persuade to return to the dock.”

This kind of merit reward system is the first reward Su Wang gave to Cao Ge for working at the dock.

After all, being able to rush over first to help guard the dock was a big help to him.

When other fishermen come here, they will definitely not have such a relaxed way to obtain merits.

Cao Ge heard Su Wang call Ai Selin his old lover,
His plump face couldn't help showing embarrassment, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Ahem... I'll talk to Estherin about taking charge of the lighthouse later, but boss, haven't you recruited any crew members?"

However, before Su Wang could answer,
Several prompt messages appeared in sight.

[The fisherman has been in the blue world for 7 days. The fishing battle event will start in 1 hour.

All fishermen will be eligible to participate and compete on the same stage. The activity is non-dangerous.

After the event, you will earn fishing points based on your performance. Points can be exchanged for rewards in the fishing task column. The top 10 fishermen in terms of points will receive additional rewards.

[After the event starts, you will enter a special time and space, and the outside time will stop passing.
The fisherman's current vehicle level and facilities will affect the efficiency of obtaining initial points in the activity.

After viewing the information that appears,

When Su Wang looked at Cao Ge beside him, he found that there was also a hint of surprise in the other's eyes. It seemed that he had also received the hint.

In terms of information content,
It seems like this is a huge event involving all fishermen.

The words "competing on the same stage" made Su Wang feel a little confused.
