Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 94 Nothing is Impossible

Su Wang cleared his throat and shouted in a deep voice to the group of local residents.

"Hello, my fellow citizens."

"I am the lord of this Fool's Wharf, and I am the one you will be loyal to in the future."

As the shouts rang out, the whispers among the thousands of local residents suddenly quieted down.

Led by an elderly man, a wave of tributes followed.

"Respected Lord of the Dock, Rupert greets you."

"Respect…"

...

After the noise subsided, Su Wang continued to comfort the group of residents.

"There's no need to worry or panic. Now that you've arrived at my dock, I will provide you with basic living security."

"Please line up now and go to the lighthouse to register as a resident. Someone will arrange temporary accommodation for you later."

After saying that, Su Wang gave a look to Cao Ge who was on standby, asking him to lead these uneasy local humans to the registration lighthouse nearby to register.

As a resident who migrated from another dock,

You need to re-register your identity at the registration point to be considered a resident of the dock.

These native humans had already been stripped of their original identity as residents of the dock before being sent here.

Tia, who had heard the noise a long time ago, slowly came to Su Wang.

"Sure enough, they are all residents with no potential."

"Captain, you're not planning to rely on these people to build a fleet, are you?"

Su Wang couldn't deny what Tia said.

In fact, we have been mentally prepared for the current situation.

Generally speaking, they are some of the energetic and potential residents who migrated from the original docks by the families who developed the new docks.

This method of recruiting residents from nearby docks to relocate is generally not used between local docks.

But Su Wang has no choice at the moment. It is better to have some old and weak people than to be a commander without troops.

"Tia, how do you usually check the purity of a person's bloodline?"

Although not very hopeful,
But Su Wang thought that he already had a few bottles of concentrated shipmaster potion in his hands, which might be of some use.

The most basic thing is to first check the blood purity of these residents.

Upon hearing this, Tia glanced at her "captain" with a strange look.

He is capable of becoming a dock lord, but he seems to know nothing.

"It can be detected by purifying the source water,
If blood drips into low-quality purified water and does not cause boiling, it has reached the minimum awakening requirement. The higher the boiling degree, the lower the purity of the bloodline."

"Captain, you are not planning to promote the captain from this group of people?"

Su Wang nodded upon hearing this.

"Want to try."

Tia held her forehead helplessly.

I feel more and more like I'm on a pirate ship.

"Judging from the abnormal signs, none of these people has a bloodline purity above 30%."

"Reaching 30% purity meets the minimum awakening requirement. The average awakening rate is less than one-fifth. It's impossible to awaken these people's shipmaster talents."

In Tia's opinion, none of these people have the qualifications to be a ship captain.

This is why she just said that they are a group of people without potential.

However, after Su Wang heard it, he began to ponder in his heart.

During the previous voyage to the Fire Shrimp Wharf, nearly thirty strange ships were destroyed.

I have 7 bottles of concentrated shipmaster baptism potion in my hand.

If conventional shipmaster baptism potions were used, these people would definitely not be awakened.

But the condensed version in my hand,

Even if the blood purity is only 10%, there is a 40% chance of awakening.

According to Tia,
It is even higher than the awakening probability after taking the regular shipmaster baptism potion after meeting the awakening requirements.

However, at this moment, a message suddenly flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

[The fisherman has triggered the fishing mission, please check it in time.]

Achieve fishing mission?

Suddenly feeling doubtful,

Su Wang ignored Tia beside him and directly summoned the Fisherman's Scroll to check.

Anyway, I've experimented with Mirei before. Whether it's the Fisherman's Scroll or the Lord's Scroll, only the person himself can see it.

Open the [Fishing Task Bar] and a new message comes into view.

[Achieve fishing mission: Improve the prosperity of the dock.]

Mission requirements: The dock population is 51/100 people.

Mission reward: For every 100 dock population registered, you will receive 1 Concentrated Shipmaster Baptism Potion.

Tip: For achievement tasks, each level of achievement reward can only be claimed once.

...

A hint of joy suddenly flashed in Su Wang's eyes!
Concentrated Shipmaster Baptism Potion!

I didn't expect that meeting the population requirements at the dock could trigger an achievement mission.

It failed to trigger previously, perhaps because the basic population had not yet reached the basic triggering conditions.

Tia, who was standing by, felt puzzled when she saw Su Wang suddenly become excited.

The next second, she heard Su Wang turn his head and speak to her with a sharp gaze.

"Nothing is impossible with me!"

I saw that there was still a queue for registration at the lighthouse.
Su Wang immediately walked towards the lighthouse.

At the same time, take out a wooden water cup from the fish hold and pour half of the low-quality purified water stored in the fish hold in the past two days into it.

Tia was shocked when she heard Su Wang's confident words and his strange behavior.

She couldn't help but follow him, wanting to see what her captain was going to do.

After a while, Su Wang arrived outside the lighthouse.

At this time, Cao Ge was responsible for maintaining order, while his crew members were responsible for registering residents at the lighthouse.

The residents who had registered for a while stayed helplessly outside the lighthouse, waiting for someone to arrange their departure.

When they saw Su Wang, the lord of the dock, coming over, they all looked at him with awe.

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately greeted him.

"Don't worry, we'll arrange for you to check in later." "Now, everyone under the age of 50, please line up and take the shipmaster talent test."

...

Hearing the lord's call.

newcomer,

These residents, who had not yet recovered from their anxiety, were extremely surprised at this moment.

"Just now... the Lord asked us to test our shipmaster talents?"

"Yeah, I heard that too, but I took the test more than 20 years ago and there's basically no hope of awakening the shipmaster talent."

"Hey... the Lord is calling us over, so let's go."

Accompanied by a whisper,
Half of the people who had completed registration walked out.

When they came in front of Su Wang, a middle-aged resident sitting closest to the front said nervously.

"Respected Lord, we have already tested our talents long ago. There is no need to waste the purification source water on us."

Although the talent test only requires low-quality purified water,
But the price of 500 fish coins per liter is already quite high for the common people at the bottom of the dock.

Moreover, they are also worried about wasting source water after testing.

The result would displease the new lord, so the middle-aged resident made the proposal with hesitation.

Su Wang chuckled when he heard this.

"Don't worry, it's okay even if the requirements are not met. I will make the decision myself."

Hearing the response from the new lord,

The middle-aged resident who had the courage to make the remonstration did not dare to say anything more and could only stand obediently in front of Su Wang and wait for testing.

Tia, who was standing behind Su Wang, was also very curious about what he was going to do.

After all, what we are doing now is a complete waste of time and resources.

The wasted source water is left behind.

When we find residents with similar blood purity in the future, we may have a chance to purify one or two qualified talents.

Su Wang at this time,

He handed a small knife he had bought earlier for cutting fruit peels to the middle-aged man in front of him, and placed a cup of low-quality water in front of him.

These people have all had experience with talent testing and naturally know the process.

The middle-aged man cut his finger with a knife and dripped a drop of blood into the cup.

The next second, the purified water in the cup suddenly boiled, as if it was boiling.

Seeing this, Su Wang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Tia beside him.

Fortunately, Tia understood the meaning of his eyes and spoke.

"Based on this boiling level, the blood purity is still about halfway to passing the standard."

Su Wang nodded upon hearing this.

Half is about 15%, which means a 65% probability. More than half is not low.

He immediately took out a bottle of concentrated captain's baptism potion from the fish hold and handed it over.

"Drink it."

The middle-aged man took the potion from Su Wang and drank it helplessly.

In his opinion, he was destined to fail in awakening.

By then, I'm afraid the new lord will be furious.

Tia on the side also shook her head secretly.

I feel more and more that this captain of mine is too strange.

Although a bottle of Shipmaster Baptismal Potion is not too precious, there is no need to waste it like this.

But what happened next made Tia's expression a little out of control.

After drinking the potion, the middle-aged man's face turned red instantly.

However, an illusory fish shadow slowly emerged from its body, and it seemed to be solid.

"This...how is this possible!"

The scene before her was completely beyond her understanding.

The phenomenon happening to the middle-aged man was actually a sign of the captain's soul awakening!

But the test results just now clearly show that even the most basic awakening conditions are not met...

After more than ten seconds, the fish shadow emerging from the middle-aged man's body completely solidified.

The middle-aged man also recovered from the recent incident.

Tia asked Su Wang in a hurried tone.

"What did you give him to drink? Why did he awaken the Master's Soul?"

Su Wang smiled lightly when he heard this.

"It's the Shipmaster's Baptism Potion. See, I told you nothing is impossible."

Su Wang couldn't help but feel relieved at this moment.

A 65% probability is high, but no one can predict probability for sure, and there is still a small chance of failure.

Fortunately, this first bottle successfully awakened a ship captain.

However, the scene where the middle-aged man becomes a shipmaster,
It also sparked heated discussions among the other residents who were waiting not far away.

"Scott, is this... is he becoming a shipmaster?!"

"What happened? Wasn't Scott judged long ago to have no talent as a shipwright?"

At this moment, Scott, who had already realized that he had awakened successfully, immediately wanted to kneel down and worship and thank the lord in front of him.

"Thank you, respected Lord! For granting me the title of shipmaster!"

Compared to ordinary civilians living at the bottom of society, becoming a ship captain is already a leap in status.

Su Wang stopped the other party before he knelt down.

"No need to kneel down and thank you. Just go over to the side and wait for the next person to come over."

Scott nodded quickly and respectfully.

"Yes...Yes! Merciful Lord!"

At this time, the words "Lord" he shouted were no longer filled with fear and uneasiness, but instead contained a hint of fanatical respect!
