Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 154: A First Glimpse of the Power of Pisces Pier

Until the night is deep,

Su Wang piloted the Death Heart away from the Golden Crocodile Wharf.

"For now, we have enough equipment and resources. Now it's time to consider the crew."

Now that a new day has arrived, the anchor shuttle capability has naturally recovered its usage times.

After leaving the jurisdictional waters, Su Wang immediately shuttled back to the Fool's Wharf to save some sailing time.

Just returned to the waters near Fool's Wharf,
Su Wang noticed that there were a large number of ships docked at the pier, seemingly queuing up to dock.

Su Wang immediately realized that perhaps the fleet sent to escort to Yinpompan Wharf had returned.

When I got closer, it was just as I had guessed.

After Su Wang arrived at the dock, he immediately found the captain in charge of this mission and asked about the situation.

The good news is that the escort mission went smoothly, and we also brought back 500 reputation stones paid in advance by Lord Flo at Silver Pomfret Wharf.

Once you have the reputation stone, you can expand the level 4 dock.

Su Wang decided to expand the level 4 dock today to provide berthing space for the upcoming fleet.

However, just as Su Wang was about to go to the equipment manufacturer to process the supplies, a prompt message flashed in his eyes.

[The fisherman's coordinated dock forces have killed 18 corrupted polluters, which has been counted towards his personal emergency fishing mission.]

"Has the mission information been updated?"

Su Wang opened the fishing mission to check, and found that the number of kills in the emergency mission of [Kill/Purify the Corrupted] had been updated.

After just a few seconds of thinking, Su Wang roughly understood the reason.

It seems that the fleet sent out to clean up the polluters has arrived at the target waters and has begun to encounter the polluter fleet.

What Su Wang didn't expect was that when the dock fleet killed the polluter, the kills would also be attributed to themselves.

This is good news!

Su Wang found the temporary manager brought from the Horned Eel Family and asked about today's trade situation.

After inquiry, it was learned that the fleet at Yanzhang Wharf took away 500 cannons, 400 mines, and 1000 speed-increasing turbines.

Similarly, Fool's Wharf also earned an equal amount of manufacturing materials this time.

By the end of the day, the amount of supplies stored at Fool's Wharf had reached an extremely large amount.

And there are a lot more things to do.

All equipment manufactured to date has been sold and needs to be remanufactured.

Su Wang immediately went to the equipment manufacturing plant and arranged the manufacture of 1660 fire control radars and speed-increasing turbines.

There were 13560 bronze mother-and-child cannons.

In addition, Su Wang also used the 40 gold-grade fish materials he harvested to manufacture 13 bombers.

As a result,
Whether it is the 810 new warships that Su Wang will have under his command, or the fleet that the Horned Eel family will replace, they are enough to replace all the equipment.

Su Wang is now also thinking about the next arrangements.

First, the terminal needs to be expanded.
Secondly, the 500 ordinary warships sent out by the Horned Eel Family need to be replaced.

Then, the entire fleet of the Horned Eel family was brought to the Red Sting Wharf and the warships were sold.

Su Wang had to do this personally. After all, the materials needed to replace the warships were also extremely huge, and it was extremely troublesome to transport them by transport ships.

Another thing to do is to go to the Fire Shrimp Wharf to accept the dismissed residents. While increasing the number of residents, you can also obtain some shipmaster potions through tasks.

“There’s so much to do…”

Su Wang couldn't help but feel a headache and could only plan one by one.

First of all, the dock expansion.
Su Wang came to the lord's palace and threw the 500 reputation stones he had obtained into the sand table one by one.

After gaining enough reputation, he immediately chose to expand.

[Fool's Wharf will begin expansion in 19 hours and 36 minutes. A Level 3 red tide will occur, and the sea purification capacity will be dissipated for 1 hour.]

【Fool's Wharf.】

Occupation Lord: Su Wang.

Dock durability: 1 million/1 million, self-recovery of 10 points per minute.

码头登记：4级码头，面积3万m*3万m，未展开（1万m*1万m）。

The next expansion requires 5 local reputation points, 1 million wood, steel, and blue fish coins, and 2 million Xirang.

Dock local reputation: 1620 points.

The number of ships that can currently dock at the port: 4.8.

Infrastructure: The number of Fish Soul Altar levels has doubled.

【Receive new information from the Dock Alliance, please check it in time. 】

...

"Level 4 docks provide 4.8 docks, which is great!"

"It seems the capacity of the Fish Soul Altar has also increased!"

The dock area can be expanded 9 times. Although the pressure of defending against the red tide has increased a lot, the number of floors of the Fish Soul Altar has also doubled.

In other words, if there are enough fish souls, the number of fishman guards at the dock can also be doubled.

The expansion needs to start tomorrow morning. Su Wang immediately left the Lord's Palace and went to the Fish Soul Altar to assemble the Fish Soul.

At this time, the Fish Soul Altar has become a 60-meter-high building.

The bottom two layers are already filled with fish souls, while the new two layers have no fish souls at all.

Fortunately, Su Wang still had a lot of extra fish souls accumulated.
He immediately assembled all the silver and bronze-level fish souls he had.

The newly emptied second-floor altar was instantly filled with fish souls.

"I didn't expect that even the fish souls were a little insufficient."

As the number of fleets increases, a large amount of equipment will have to be prepared, which will be a huge expense.

Originally, there were so many fish souls that I had no place to use them, but now it feels like they are not enough.

Su Wang also felt the difficulty of developing into a powerful group.

This is when the fisherman has a 10-fold drop rate of fish souls. If it is a local dock lord, the acquisition of fish souls will be even slower.

Fortunately, there will be a red tide soon for the fish soul harvest, as well as daily extraction from the fish breeding lake.

Although currently only ordinary to bronze-level fish souls can be extracted and decomposed, it can still provide some supplementary information.

...

The terminal expansion just needs to wait.

Su Wang then planned a few other things.

First, find Tia and ask her to summon the 500 sailors who returned this time.

Su Wang handed over the core and supporting equipment of 500 Mutual Aid warships to Tia in advance, allowing it to replace the fleet.

The Horned Eel Family only needs to contribute one-third of the cost and materials to build these warships.

Su Wang will collect the remaining two-thirds from Hongzhe Wharf.

As for these bronze equipment,

The horned eel family can only use a part of the supplies for purchase, and the remaining supplies can only be temporarily issued as IOUs and delivered slowly in the future.

Su Wang didn't mind it too much.

After all, we are also fighting for Fool's Wharf.

Su Wang did not intend to leave these replaced obsolete warships empty.

He instructed some night watchmen to go and wake up the large number of dock residents who were responsible for operating ordinary ships, as well as the reserve captains.

One is to let the shipbuilders who currently do not have warships temporarily merge these ordinary warships, and the other is to have new tasks issued.

After the replacement of 500 warships is completed,
Taking into consideration that there was still a red tide to deal with, Su Wang did not send any ships to the front line to replace the fleet for the time being.

Instead, they stayed at the dock and waited for the red tide to end.

After the residents who can operate the boats and the reserve shipmasters have arrived,

Su Wang arranged for the returning fleet of 300 mutual aid ships and transport ships to immediately go to Huoxia Wharf to pick up the repatriated residents.

The mission of this fleet is not just to go to the Fire Shrimp Wharf,

Su Wang also planned to send this fleet to the remaining few docks that were relatively close and had issued population demobilization missions.

Bring back as many residents as possible.

Given the current urgency of time, Su Wang can only arrange tasks on multiple fronts.

After arranging all this, Su Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take a break and replenish his energy.

...

After working hard for a long time, Su Wang slept until noon.

After waking up, Su Wang immediately checked the status of the fishing mission.

At present, the bronze fish material exchange task has been completed for the most part, and it is estimated that all exchanges will be completed by the evening.

The urgent fishing mission to clean up polluters also added more than 200 kills while he was asleep.

It seems that the dock clearing team has encountered the polluter team many times during this period.

Su Wang also converted all of them into level 1 mission rewards, trying to get as many captain baptism potions as possible.

When it was getting close to evening,
Su Wang began to prepare the red tide resistance line.

There are currently more than a thousand ships in the fleet at the port, with more than 200 ships arranged at each port.

Su Wang also distributed and placed the more than 160 million merman guards at the dock according to the scope of the defense line.

However, since the expansion of the dock will further expand the scope of the defense line, the difficulty of defending the red tide this time will obviously increase a lot.

Su Wang could only reduce the number of fishmen stationed at the bottom of the dock and let Carol send a group of sharks to guard it.

Su Wang also assigned 2 bombers to the other two remaining Navigator warships.

At the same time, each side arranged 1 million fish coins to lay mines to minimize the pressure on the dock.

By the time all this was arranged, it was already evening.

Su Wang saw that the red tide had not yet started, and remembered that there were some messages he had not checked last night.

He immediately summoned the Lord's Fish Seal to check the information he had missed last night.

When the Dock Alliance interface was opened, a new message immediately came into view.

[Fool's Wharf has been upgraded to a Level 4 wharf. You can now invite caravans to Pisces Wharf.]

[The Pisces Caravan can be invited once a month and can provide material assistance needs once a month. For details, please see the Pisces Caravan invitation task.]

"Material aid?" Su Wang felt a little surprised.

At this time, Su Wang also noticed that there was an additional option with a Pisces icon on the Dock Alliance interface.

After selecting the idea, a new interface appeared immediately.

[Number of invitations to the Pisces caravan: 1 time/calendar month.]

【Optional aid supplies: (Choose one)】

①: 4 million servings of each of the four common fish species.

②: 4 million pieces of each of the four types of black iron fish materials.

③: 4 bronze medals...

...

The more Su Wang looked at it, the more surprised he became.

The aid materials required are numerous and complex, including not only fish of various levels, but also shipmaster baptism potions, backtracking stones, purified source water, etc.

The only difference is the amount of each type of material that can be provided.

Su Wang was not only amazed at the wide variety of aid supplies, but also surprised at the strength of Pisces Wharf.

"If every level 4 and above dock can request aid once a month, how formidable would the Pisces Dock's foundation be?"

...

　Thanks to "Yunyun" for sending a monthly ticket, thank you for your support!
