Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 24 Girl’s Heart

After a while of registration,
The fin-eared girl then picked up the card with one hand, handed it to Su Wang through the counter barrier and gave a routine reminder.

"Since you are a non-owner, your vessel will dock at the registered docking station on its own, and the docking fee will be deducted from the vessel certificate."

"The ship's license quota has a certain overdraft limit. Remember to replenish the quota in time, otherwise your ship will be considered to be docked illegally."

After hearing this, Su Wang nodded immediately and reached out to take the card and ship certificate.

But when he pinched a corner of the ship certificate and gently pulled it away, the fin-eared girl seemed to deliberately hold the ship certificate tightly to prevent it from being taken away easily.

Feeling puzzled, Su Wang immediately looked at the fin-eared girl.
But I noticed a slight blush on her cheeks and a different kind of warmth in her eyes.

"My name is Jerica. I change shifts at 6pm. I don't have much to do in the evening."

Su Wang: “???”

What does it have to do with me if you have nothing to do at night?

"Okay, Miss Jerica, have a nice day at work."

After saying that, Su Wang gently pulled the ship certificate card out of his hand and walked towards the lighthouse entrance without looking back.

He paid no attention to the heart-breaking voice of the girl behind him.

After walking out of the lighthouse gate,
Su Wang glanced at the card in his hand.

The material looked like a hardened scroll, and the item information on the card was also printed in the eyes.

【Terminal Permit】

Function: A special document that can be produced by an occupied dock, and a registration item required for ships to connect to the dock.

When sailing at sea, you can use the ship certificate to go to the recorded dock.

Deposit Azure Fish Coins: 0, overdraft limit 100.

Bound user: Su Wang, ship - Wangxin.

Recorded pier: Golden Crocodile Pier.

Currently docked at: Golden Crocodile Wharf, dock D157.

...

Su Wang looked towards the port where the Wangxin was docked.

At this time, the Death Heart had already left the port with no one on board and was heading to a specific location to dock according to some instructions.

There was a continuous connection between the fisherman and the vehicle, so Su Wang was not worried about not being able to find the location of the Wangxin in the end.

The vehicle can only be repaired after the Heart of Death has finished docking and established a connection with the dock.

Now is a good opportunity to visit the Golden Crocodile Wharf and collect some information about this world.

There is only one main road that extends deep into the dock at the registration port.
Su Wang immediately followed the main road into the dock.

Not long after walking, an alley intersection came into view.

Outside the alley intersection, you can see many patrolling fishmen guards.

In the alley, you can see many figures wearing fish capes walking around, as well as various houses and buildings built on both sides of the alley.

Every now and then, an awning would pop up outside the doors of the houses on both sides.

Under the awning, some figures were selling various goods.

Without exception, all kinds of strange and bizarre features can be seen on these figures.

Those wearing raincoats walked around the shops, choosing the goods they needed.

Su Wang also stepped in and became one of the many figures.

Just walked into the alley,
When he looked at the goods sold in the nearest shop, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Several kinds of goods such as fruits and vegetables are placed on the simple counter made of wood.

Various prompt messages flashed before my eyes.

[Ordinary large-leaf vegetables], [Ordinary sand fruit], [Ordinary green tea melon], etc.

The introduction information of these fruits and vegetables is basically the same.
They are all ordinary vegetables, with a small amount of nutrition, which can restore 10 points of endurance and replenish the trace elements needed by the body.

Before the time travel, I often ate vegetables, fruits and melons and didn’t feel anything, but I ate fish and meat all day long.

Su Wangcai realized that eating the same food continuously would really make people lose interest.

In addition, he had previously suspected that eating only fish and no other food for a long time would lead to scurvy.

It seems that this is indeed a possibility.

Su Wang immediately walked to the front of the shop and immediately attracted the attention of the shop owner.

"What do you need, sir? These fruits and vegetables were just delivered this morning, guaranteed fresh!"

Su Wang looked up and found that the shop owner was a middle-aged woman.

The loose skin appears light red and is accompanied by gray-black spots.

The rubbing palms seem to have suction cup-like tissue.

Fortunately, Su Wang had seen many local creatures with strange characteristics, so he did not show any strange expression.

Then he pointed to a fruit called [Common Red Eggplant], which looked somewhat like a tomato and asked.

"What's the price of this?"

Seeing that the customer was interested in buying the goods, the shop owner became more enthusiastic.

"It's cheap. You can buy two for one Fish Crystal Coin. If you buy more, I can give you a few more."

"This red eggplant is so sweet, even my kid loves it."

The prices of several other products were also introduced.

After listening to the introduction silently, Su Wang glanced at the shop next to him.

I happened to see a customer wearing a raincoat paying the bill with a small chip-like device.

It's just that we're not getting any feedback from the chip.

It seems that the currency called Fish Crystal Coin by the shop owner is not recognized by the vehicle.

Su Wang immediately withdrew his gaze and asked the middle-aged boss, "I don't have fish crystal coins. Can I buy it with Azure Fish Coins?"

Since Azure Fish Coins can be used to obtain ship licenses at the lighthouse, it means that Azure Fish Coins are also one of the currencies at Golden Crocodile Wharf.

Sure enough, the shop owner's face became even more enthusiastic after hearing this.

"Fish coins are also fine. How many do you want to buy?" Su Wang pointed at the red eggplant again and said, "Give me this. Two fish coins."

The middle-aged boss took out a sack made of fine grass and put 45 red eggplants into the bag before stopping.

When he handed it to me, he also said: "I'll give you 5, just pay me 2 fish coins."

Su Wang also started to think about it.

One fish coin is worth 1 fish crystal coins. It seems that a lot of this kind of goods are produced in the Golden Crocodile Wharf.

Su Wang did not take the bag from the boss immediately. Instead, he picked up a red eggplant and pointed to several other fruits and vegetables and said.

"Each of these will cost me 20 fish coins. The red eggplant will also cost 20 fish coins. I'll pay you with the fish coins first. I'll come pick them up later when they're ready."

"By the way, could you please do me a favor and write down how to eat these fruits and vegetables?"

When the middle-aged boss heard this, the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell out on this rainy day, but now I didn't expect a big customer to come.

Although the last request was a bit strange, considering the customer's generosity, I naturally didn't mind doing this small thing.

Since this shop is the first one at the entrance of the alley, its location is not difficult to remember.

Su Wang then walked deeper into the alley, while scanning the surrounding shops to see what goods were being sold.

I found that apart from fruits and vegetables, there were some daily utensils.

There are meats too, but they are all ordinary fish.

The price was quite high, and Su Wang thought it was not worth it, so he didn't buy it.

"The fish they're selling has the same information as the one I analyzed. It seems like there are some similar creatures among these native creatures."

While shopping, Su Wang did not forget another important matter - looking for the crew.

There are many native creatures within sight right now, which is a good opportunity to test the ability of the Eye of Recognition.

After depleting 10 points of endurance, I suddenly felt a warmth in my eye sockets.

A message appears above the head of every figure within sight, and the color of the message is different.

It was as if every figure within sight had become an NPC.

For example, several figures wearing fish capes just walked past him, and they appeared above his heads.

Crew Qualification: None (Gray), Crew Qualification: General Maintenance Qualification (White)

...

Su Wang glanced around and found that everything he saw was basically gray or white.

Most of them are still gray, with only a dozen or so messages in white.

The alley is straight to the end, and at a glance, you can see hundreds of pieces of information.

But with this base, there are only a dozen or so qualified white crew members.

Besides, the white qualifications only show some ordinary cooking qualifications, ordinary command qualifications and the like.

They are all rated as average, which should not be considered as good qualifications.

"It seems that it is not easy to find a good crew member."

Su Wang picked up the red eggplant in his hand and took a bite, letting the sweet and sour juice improve his taste buds that had long lost their taste.

He immediately quickened his pace to find a place to stay for the night.

Although the light source cannot be seen due to the dark clouds, it should be nightfall soon according to the estimated time.

Just as Su Wang walked along the alley until he reached the corner.

A sign hanging on a house on the corner stopped him in his tracks.

"Song of the Siren..."

What attracted him to stop was not only the gorgeous entrance decoration, but also the icon on the sign that looked like a wine glass.

The faint noise and clinking of glasses coming from inside the door further confirmed my guess.

"Tavern? It should be a place that can provide accommodation."

As Su Wang just pushed open the door, the noisy sounds and the clinking of glasses became clearer.

After looking around,

Su Wang's gaze finally stopped on a "beautiful" girl who was wearing revealing clothes and happened to be near the door.

The reason is that the information above his head shows the green Black Iron cooking qualification, which is the most conspicuous among all the people in the tavern.

The sound of the door opening, and Su Wang's gaze.

The pretty girl thought it was her guest, so she walked over with her waist swaying.

Su Wang also looked at the girl walking towards him.

This girl, like the previous shop owner, had octopus-like features.

It just seemed to be a little more serious, with the fingers on both hands transformed into octopus tentacles.

Her figure is extremely hot, and the way she twists her body when she walks is extremely seductive.

When you get closer,

The girl immediately came forward and stretched out her hand as if to help Su Wang take off his fish cape.

Seeing this, Su Wang raised his eyebrows, quickly took a step back and spoke.

"No, I just came to ask if this place can provide food and lodging."

As rainwater continued to seep out of the fish cape, it soon soaked the floor.

The pretty girl frowned in dissatisfaction.

But after all, the person who came in was a guest, so we could only let him wear a fish cape.

At this time, several drunks sitting at a table near the door discovered this scene.

Suddenly there was a lot of noise and joking.

"Yo~ Even Shani, the little one with the magic hands, still gets humiliated sometimes."

“He doesn’t want your services to come to me!
I have plenty of fish coins tonight, it all depends on whether you can use those magic hands to get them out."
