Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 14 Goals Beyond the Level

The treasure fish in the secret realm have unique characteristics.

First, the endurance value is terrifyingly high. The micro-jewel fish alone has 500 points of endurance.

Secondly, if you cannot use up the fish's endurance within a certain period of time after catching it, it will escape.

Modifying your reel will undoubtedly strengthen your confidence for what you will do next.

The remaining 33% of sandfin fish meat on the hook was removed and replaced with a small piece of crystal clear fish meat.

Plop.

The silver hook with the bait sank into the glittering water.

"Silver Wind Fish Meat... please don't let me down." Su Wang murmured.

There is not much time left now. If we continue to use sandfin fish meat, we may not be able to attract the next treasure fish.

If you want to safely attract the next treasure fish within the limited time left, you can only use the silvertail wind fish meat.

Su Wang had another plan in mind, which was to catch a larger jewel fish!
The ordinary-grade treasures produced by the micro-treasure fish alone are already of extraordinary use.

If you can get a second treasure above the ordinary level, the convenience it will bring in the future will be immeasurable!
As the silvertail windfish meat bait fell into the water.

Su Wangxin was also worried again, waiting for a special hint to appear.

Rare fish meat is rare fish meat after all, and is far from comparable to ordinary sandfin fish meat.

Less than 3 minutes after the silvertail fish bait fell into the water,

A special prompt appeared in Su Wang's sight.

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

...

"A small jewel fish! I should be able to catch it."

Su Wang was so nervous that he couldn't help but purse his lips.

A treasure fish was attracted in such a short time.

If the bait is not consumed too much, you may have a chance to catch a third or even a fourth fish in the remaining time.

Just as he was thinking this, another special reminder came.

[A medium-sized jewelfish smelled the bait and seemed to be interested in it, heading towards the bait's location.]

"Another one! Another medium-sized jewelfish!"

Su Wang was overjoyed in an instant.

This is a medium-sized treasure fish, and the value of the treasures in it must be far beyond that of ordinary treasures.

But then Su Wang suddenly realized the problem he had overlooked, and his happy expression turned into a serious one.

"Miniature Jumbo Fish have 500 stamina points. Can I handle this medium-sized Jumbo Fish?"

Dozens of seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the special prompt appeared again.

[The small jewelfish has come near the bait, showing interest in it and preparing to eat it.]

Seeing the information within his sight, Su Wang immediately prepared to eat the fish to restore his endurance.

But the next second, something strange happened.

The appearance of a special prompt message caught him off guard.

[The small jewel fish was frightened and quickly fled from the bait.]

"Why did you escape?"

Before he could figure out the reason, the special prompt message appeared again.

A medium-sized jewelfish has come near the bait, showing slight interest and hesitating whether to swallow it.

Seeing this message,

Only then did Su Wang realize that it was the arrival of the medium-sized jewel fish that scared away the previous small jewel fish.

"Fuck! They're all the same species. Can't they just coexist peacefully and line up to get hooked?"

Suddenly, half of his joy was gone, and he was unwilling to accept this.

But there is nothing I can do now, I can only hope that this medium-sized jewel fish will take the bait.

Judging from the previous special prompt information, different individual treasure fish have different levels of interest in bait.

The small jewelfish that escaped was more interested in the silvertail fish meat, while the medium-sized jewelfish was only slightly interested.

If this medium-sized jewel fish loses its temper and chooses not to eat the bait and leaves, I really won't be able to help but curse.

"But don't be like the last medium-sized jewel fish who was so ungrateful..."

Just after Su Wang felt uneasy for more than ten seconds, several special prompt messages in succession finally revealed the answer.

The medium-sized jewelfish hesitated for a moment before reluctantly deciding to swallow the tasteless bait.

[The medium-sized jewelfish has swallowed the bait. The bait can last for 60 seconds.]

[A medium-sized treasure fish has been hooked. You have 60 seconds to drag it out of the water. When the time runs out, the medium-sized treasure fish will trigger its ability to escape the hook.]

When the first message appeared, Su Wang quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared himself.

As the hook information appeared, the fishing rod in his hand was suddenly lifted up.

【Medium-sized jewelfish】

Fish species rarity: mysterious fish.

Strength: 1.

Endurance: 9920/10000.

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

...

"Oh no! A medium-sized jewel fish actually has 1 stamina points."

The moment Su Wang received the target information, his heart sank.

My previous worries came true!

If the miniature treasure fish with 500 stamina is a small monster in this water area,
It is no exaggeration to say that this medium-sized treasure fish with a stamina value of up to 1 is an elite BOSS.

It was definitely not something a Black Iron-level fisherman could challenge at this stage. Su Wang kept stuffing sandfin fish meat into his mouth to maintain his stamina.

At the same time, think quickly about the solution in your mind.

This time I caught a medium-sized jellyfish and got a piece of silvertail fish fillet.

Giving up like this would be a huge loss.

Su Wang silently calculated the normal upper limit of his current ability.

"Currently, it can only deal 1 stamina damage per minute. That's a huge difference."

The lethality of 1 stamina points per minute,

If other Black Iron-level professional anglers knew about this, they would probably be shocked.

But even so, it is still impossible to catch a medium-sized jewel fish within 1 minute.

However, Su Wang was not discouraged. Instead, he turned to look at an ability he had not used yet - the suffocating wind.

He has never used this ability given by Yubao.

According to the ability description, it only takes a large amount of endurance every 10 seconds to cause an incremental negative damage effect on the same target.

The problem is that in order to maintain the 60-second consumption of the innate skill, you also have to consume the additional ability cost of Suffocating Wind, and the endurance value required is not a small number.

The amount of sandfin fish slices in stock is enough to restore this much stamina.
But even if there is enough fish, I won’t be able to eat so much fish in such a short time even if I die of gluttony.

The only solution at the moment may be to consume another piece of silvertail wind fish meat.

Su Wang gritted his teeth and stopped stuffing sandfin fish slices into his mouth.

He then took out another portion of silvertail fish fillet from the fish hold.

After losing the endurance supply, the high-frequency skill consumption caused the endurance value to drop rapidly, and it was almost exhausted in just a few seconds.

As a strong feeling of fatigue swept over his body, Su Wang endured the discomfort and stabilized his body.

"Not even a little longer, hold on."

Just when the endurance value was about to be consumed to only 30 points,
Su Wang immediately consumed 20 points of endurance to activate the suffocating wind ability.

The next second, a green whirlwind suddenly sank into the water along the fishing line.

At the same time, Su Wang immediately stuffed the silvertail wind fish slices that he had been holding in his hand into his mouth and swallowed them without even chewing.

The moment the fish is swallowed,

A warm feeling suddenly came from my abdomen, and the feeling of weakness and fatigue was swept away in an instant.

At this moment, Su Wang felt as if he had endless energy.

"As expected of a rare fish, the effect is simply too strong."

The warmth in the abdomen continued, and the remaining endurance value was restored to the full value of 100 points.

The 5-point strength-enhancing effect of the silvertail windfish fillet also takes effect at this moment.

Within sight, the endurance loss of the medium-sized treasure fish immediately increased from 80 points to 180 points.

Within ten seconds of the Choking Wind taking effect, it can cause a cumulative 2160 Stamina damage.

Su Wang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little pain in his heart.

Two of the only five servings of silvertail fish fillets were used up immediately.

Fortunately, with the continuous recovery effect of the silver-tailed wind fish, it is no longer difficult to capture this medium-sized treasure fish.

When the 10-second Suffocating Wind effect is about to end,
Su Wang consumed another 40 points of endurance to continue the effect of Suffocating Wind.

The stamina loss rate of medium-sized treasure fish has also been increased to 270 points per time.

The consumption of the life skill itself, plus the secondary superposition of suffocating wind, causes a large amount of endurance consumption.
The continuous recovery effect of the silvertail wind fish slices cannot keep up.

Su Wang hurriedly ate sandfin fish meat to replenish his body.

He quickly swallowed a dozen portions, stabilizing his endurance at a value close to 90.

In order to successfully capture this medium-sized treasure fish, you must stack the effect of Suffocating Wind at least three times.

The third stacking will consume 80% of your own endurance.

The effect of Suffocating Wind becomes stronger the more it is stacked, but the consumption is also terrifyingly multiplied.

If it weren't for the powerful continuous recovery ability of the silver-tail wind fish slices, and if it weren't for the fact that his current endurance value was already low.

This just barely meets the conditions for three superpositions.

As the effect of the second suffocating wind was about to end, Su Wang's own endurance value suddenly dropped to the bottom.

The huge amount of endurance that was instantly drained away almost made him lose vision.

Fortunately, he had stuffed several portions of sandfin fish meat into his mouth before using his ability.

After swallowing it quickly, I restored a lot of my endurance and finally recovered.

"It's better to avoid such extreme things. I almost thought I was going to meet my grandmother." Su Wang thought with lingering fear.

The good news is that under the effect of the third level of Suffocating Wind, the endurance value of the medium-sized treasure fish has dropped sharply to 360 points.

It only takes ten seconds, enough to drain more than 4300 points of the target's stamina.

At present, the endurance of medium-sized treasure fish is less than 4,000 points, and the outcome is already a foregone conclusion.

In the following time, Su Wang swallowed two pieces of sandfin fish meat every few seconds to make up for the extra consumption caused by the reel.

When the effect of the third layer of Suffocating Wind was about to end, the endurance of the medium-sized treasure fish was finally exhausted.

As the reel reeled in the line, a 3-meter-long green fish broke out of the water.

Until it fell onto the wooden boat deck.

Looking at the medium-sized jewelfish on the deck, it looks exactly like the miniature jewelfish, except for its size and color.

All previous efforts have paid off at this moment.

Su Wang came to him impatiently to collect the spoils.

Slap it hard with your palm and it will break down immediately.

[Medium Treasure Fish Belly*1]: A habitat gifted by the world. After opening it, you can obtain a large amount of resources and 1 silver treasure.
