Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 91 Dock Expansion and Population Tasks

When I was helping Mi Lei buy daily necessities for her room,
Su Wang intentionally bought a few more sets so that he could use them directly when he found other crew members in the future.

Put the things in the second crew member's room and let Tia deal with them on her own.

Compared to Mirei, she is still a little girl.
Tia is already a girl and should be able to support herself and take care of her own room, even though she used to be a young lady who was served by others.

And with the further blessing of crew attributes,
The speed at which the Heart of Death rushed back to Fool's Wharf was a little exaggerated, at 75 knots it felt like flying on the sea.

The wind resistance caused by the high speed made Su Wang unable to even stand on the deck.

In just less than 4 hours, Fool's Wharf was already in sight.

After one night, the 5 nautical miles around Fool's Wharf had been purified into pure waters.

When the Heart of Death was only a few thousand meters away from the dock,
Su Wang then limited the speed and came to Tia's room and knocked on the door.

When the door to the room is opened,
Tia showed an angry expression and looked at Mr. "Captain" standing outside the door with great displeasure.

Su Wang looked past that delicate face.
It can be seen that the room is in a mess, which shows that this former "young lady" is not very good at housekeeping.

Ignoring Tia's biting look, Su Wang spoke directly.

"Tia, I'm almost at the dock, maybe you could help with some advice?"

After saying that, he moved aside to make it easier for Tia to see the Fool's Wharf not far away.

When Tia saw the somewhat shabby dock, the anger on her face turned into dullness.

After coming back to her senses, Tia turned her head and looked at Su Wang blankly and asked.

"Captain Su Wang... Where is your family fleet? Where are the residents at the dock?"

Having seen Su Wang without any disguise,
Tia originally thought that her captain might be someone from a powerful family who had come out to gain experience.

The so-called wharf was also developed through family reinforcements.

But when she saw the dock, which took up a very small area and was basically guarded only by patrolling merfolk, she immediately had a bad feeling.

However, Su Wang's subsequent answer completely confirmed the accuracy of his premonition.

"If you ask the fleet, there are only two ships at the dock right now."

"As for the residents, that's what I was about to ask you. How can we get the dock residents in such a short time?"

...

After a while, the Heart of Death had docked at the Fool's Wharf.

Cao Ge, who was at the dock, had already been waiting at the port entrance.

When he saw Su Wang walking down from the boat, he immediately came forward to greet him.

"Boss Wangxin, why are you back so soon?"

Su Wang chuckled and replied, "I rushed back because of something urgent. Nothing unusual happened while I was away, right?"

Cao Ge patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Boss. I just drove the Qin Shi Huang around a while ago and didn't see anything unusual."

At this time, Tia had also walked down from the Death Heart.

When Cao Ge saw a young girl with delicate appearance walking down from the Wangxin, he immediately winked at Su Wang.

"Boss, you're the best!"

"He went out and brought back such a beautiful girl. Could this be your..."

Before Cao Ge could finish his words, Su Wang interrupted him.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Tia, the crew member I just recruited. She's kind of a 'development consultant' for the docks."

Just at this time, Tia had already walked to Su Wang's side.

When I heard the second half of his words,

The anger on Tia's face had not yet dissipated and became more obvious, and she seemed to be muttering something.

Su Wang, who was closer, could faintly hear words like "big liar" and "on a pirate ship".

He pretended not to hear and introduced Cao Ge to Tia.

Fortunately, Tia was able to maintain the demeanor of a family lady in front of outsiders and introduced herself very politely.

After the introductions are completed,

Su Wang immediately told Cao Ge that the dock would be facing a red tide problem tonight.

From Tia,
When the native docks of this world were first developed, there were generally only two ways to obtain dock residents.

First, this is the world's newly developed terminal,
Originally, they were developed and occupied by families on other docks, so the population could be initially migrated from the dock where the original family was located.

This is something that Su Wang obviously does not have.

The second method is when you just expand to the Level 2 dock.

After connecting with the local port, you can seek immigration from other ports within a certain range around the port.

According to the Dock Code, the remaining docks around the new dock cannot be rejected.

Generally speaking, people won’t refuse, after all, most docks are overpopulated.

If you want to get the port population later,
It all depends on whether there is a dock that can’t withstand the red tide or a dock crisis, and is forced to split the dock and send ships to pick up the “dock refugees”.

This is also the most feasible solution for Su Wang at the moment, just as he had guessed before.

Considering the threat of pollution to the White Shark Pier, the formation of a fleet has become urgent.

Su Wang decided to start the expansion of the level 2 dock today.

After saying hello to Cao Ge and letting Tia stroll around the pier on her own.

Su Wang immediately came to the lord's palace and prepared to expand the dock.

The expansion of the level 1 dock requires 500 points of local reputation, 50 each of wood, steel, and blue fish coins, and 10 Xirang.

Apart from reputation, the other needs have already been greatly exceeded in the fish tank.

Su Wang took out the 100 reputation stones exchanged for fishing activity points and prepared to throw them into the dock sand table.

Although it is not clear whether 100 are enough, there are still more than million fishing points that can be exchanged.

After investing one, Su Wang discovered that each reputation stone could increase local reputation by 10 points.

Su Wang immediately put in 50 pills and chose to expand. The next second, a prompt message appeared.

[Fool's Wharf will begin an expansion in 10 hours and 24 minutes, at which time a Level 1 Red Tide will erupt, and the sea purification capability will dissipate for 1 hour.]

[Fool's Wharf has been connected to the Wharf Alliance. The wharf information has been updated. The zoned wharfs have been informed of the existence of Fool's Wharf.]

【Fool's Wharf.】

Occupation Lord: Su Wang.

Dock durability: 300 million/300 million, self-recovering 3 points per minute.

码头等级：2级码头，面积5000m*5000m，未展开（3000m*3000m）。

The next expansion requires 2000 local reputation points, 200 million wood, steel, and blue fish coins, and 50 million Xirang.

Dock local reputation: 0 points.

New construction facilities added to the dock: vegetable fields.

...

Seeing the dock access information prompt, Su Wang immediately summoned the Lord's Fish Seal to check.

As expected, a new content [Dock Alliance] has been added.

After the mind was selected, an interface like a star map appeared on the Dock Lord's scroll.

The star-like lights shining above are the docks scattered across this vast sea.

After selecting Fool's Wharf and zooming in,

The star map suddenly shrunk inward and expanded several times, showing only the Fool's Wharf and the distribution of docks within a nearby 5 nautical miles.

Su Wang noticed that
Fool's Wharf seems to be distributed on the edge of the wharf star map. Only the area on the right has 9 wharves scattered around, while the other side is dark.

At this time, he saw a dock alliance application column below the star map.

When I opened it, I found a lot of information displayed.

[Red Scale Wharf: A bounty is offered for a fleet of 3000 medium-sized and larger warships.]

任务内容：协助抵抗6级红潮，每艘战船支付蔚蓝鱼币*5万、4项青铜鱼材*1万，抵达时效3天18小时。

Ships responded to the call: 2175.

...

[Fire Shrimp Wharf: A bounty is offered for a fleet of 4000 medium-sized and larger warships.]

Mission content: Eliminate the pollution at the White Shark Wharf. Each warship must pay 6 Azure Fish Coins and 4 Silver Fish Materials for 5 items. The arrival time is 8 days and 16 hours.

Ships responded to the call: 1265.

...

Most of the messages that appeared were requests from certain ports for fleet support.

"Tsk tsk... There is actually a bounty information for Fire Shrimp Wharf." Su Wang murmured.

After carefully reading the information about the Dock Alliance, Su Wang roughly understood something.

If you want to accept these bounties, you need to spend a certain amount of dock reputation points in advance, and then return them after completing the task.

If you accept the bounty but fail to send a fleet to the other party's dock before the time limit, the pre-consumed reputation points will be deducted and no refund will be made.

At the same time, the task issuing terminal will have the right to pursue responsibility and claim compensation in accordance with the terminal code.

As for the Dock Code, there is also a special information column on the scroll for viewing.

But there is too much content in it, so Su Wang plans to take some time to take a closer look.

Su Wang opened the Dock Alliance column, mainly for the first population migration.

Su Wang noticed that he had the right to issue a population task without consuming reputation points or rewards.

This task will be automatically assigned to local docks within a certain range near Fool's Dock, and the time limit is fixed at 5 days.

"With 1 people at each dock, five days is not a short time."

Su Wang thought about it and decided to publish it now.

The task release is complete, showing that 5 docks have been assigned tasks.

That is to say, within 5 days, 5 people will be transported here from various ports.

It’s not a lot, but at least it can solve the current situation where no one is available at the dock.

Su Wang was also a little unsure in his heart.
Compared with the family expansion and establishment of docks in local docks,

The act of building a wharf single-handedly is probably the first of its kind in the history of the world.

When the fleets transporting migrants arrive at the port and find it is an unmanned port, who knows what will happen.

...

After leaving the lord's palace,
Su Wang immediately prepared for the red tide that was coming in the evening.

Compared with the small-scale red tide last time, he didn't take this level 1 red tide too seriously.

A fully equipped Fish Soul Altar is enough to survive this red tide threat.

Previously, we had to worry about the attack of gold-level monster fish during the red tide, but now we have gold-level fish souls available.

Su Wang immediately went to the Fish Soul Altar to replace the Fish Soul.

20 silver and 23 gold-level fish souls were used to replace some black iron fish souls.

Although it is no problem to deal with red tide,
However, Su Wang still used his power as the lord of the dock to issue a meritorious mission to assist the red tide of the dock.

Currently, only Cao Ge can take on this task.

The reason for issuing it is to set certain rules for the docks.

When more and more fishermen and local human boatmen come in the future, there will always be an incentive for them to contribute to the dock.
