Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 26 Strange Qualification Information
"Boss Wangxin, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

Heart of Destruction: "I have arrived at a local human dock, and I have learned all this from the local people.
Please be careful not to reveal your lack of abnormalities, and spread this information when you have time."

"Awesome! Boss Wangxin found the dock so quickly!"

"Fuck, based on what the boss said, isn't the world almost doomed?"

"Red tide at the dock? Then this dock doesn't seem that safe. I was thinking of staying there and messing around after I found a dock."

"Thanks for sharing the information, Mr. Wangxin. I was curious about the use of the decomposed fish skin arm sleeves. It turns out they can be used for camouflage."

"What a coincidence! I have a fish-skin glove."

"What a coincidence! I have one too! And I also have two fish skin items!"

"Big Brother Wangxin is such a nice guy. Is Big Brother Wangxin a little brother? If we meet once, would you mind being a couple?"

"I think the guy upstairs is just trying to curry favor with someone.

I'd like to ask on behalf of a shy friend of mine: Does Wang Xin have any requirements for the gender of his partner?

...

Su Wang looked at it for a while.
After responding to questions from individual fishermen, he left the communication area.

The information and intelligence have been passed on, and the favors have been given.

As to whether it will be useful in the future and whether it can play a role, it is uncertain.

But it certainly doesn't hurt to gain a certain reputation among fishermen.

Since we have already planned to develop into the dock lord,

It is definitely not enough to rely on one person alone, suitable subordinates are also a must.

These fishermen from the same origin may be good targets.

Ambitious fishermen will set up their own business, while those without much ambition will choose to work in a certain dock.

Native human docks and docks built by fishermen,

I believe that few fishermen would choose local human docks.

At least that's what Su Wang thought.

Once you build a dock and find a way to recruit fishermen, the reputation you have accumulated will eventually be of some use.

...

The next day.

Su Wang yawned unhappily.

I thought I could have a good sleep in the dock without any shaking.

It’s a pity that there were strange noises coming from the next room last night, which led to poor sleep quality.

Su Wang also decided to move to a quieter place to stay tonight.

The first time you get up,

Su Wang first checked the situation of the [Fishing Mission].

He was at the dock last night and did not participate in killing the strange fish, so he has no chance of ranking in this mission.

There are a few new ship names on the ranking list.

Then he opened the trading area and collected all the fish coins obtained from the sale of the steel plates.

After a day,
All 500 units of steel plates have been sold, and the number of fish coins on hand has returned to 2530.

If it is used to support the docking consumption at the Golden Crocodile Wharf, it can last for more than half a month.

“We still have to own our own dock sooner rather than later.”

It hurts to think that a certain amount of fish coins disappear every hour.

Just after exiting the trading area, a prompt suddenly flashed in Su Wang's sight.

[The dock ship certificate has received the reward information from the Golden Crocodile Dock. ]

"Reward?"

Out of curiosity, Su Wang immediately took out the ship certificate he had obtained yesterday from the fish hold.

Only then did I discover that there was an additional reward item on the ship certificate.

【Assistance Reward】

Posted by: Lord of Golden Crocodile Pier.

Reward content: Assist in resisting the red tide and clear out the polluted fish that invaded the Golden Crocodile Wharf during the red tide. Recording of clearance achievements will begin after the red tide breaks out.

Reward: Merit exchange materials can be checked at the dock registration point. There are 15 hours left until the red tide breaks out at the dock.

...

"The red tide came so quickly." Su Wang was a little surprised.

Last night in the pub, I heard that the Golden Crocodile Pier might soon expand and cause a red tide.
Su Wang had already decided to leave as soon as possible.

We had originally planned that if we didn’t find a suitable crew member today, we would continue to go out to sea to collect materials tomorrow and not stay any longer.

Anyway, with the record of Golden Crocodile Wharf, I can go back again when I need to find a wharf to dock.

It now seems that there is no way to leave Golden Crocodile Wharf tomorrow.

During a red tide outbreak,

The waters near the dock will be filled with a large number of polluted fish, and it will be very dangerous to go out to sea by boat.

This red tide bounty that appeared was probably received because the Heart of Death was docked at the Golden Crocodile Wharf.

After Su Wang thought for a few seconds,

I decided to go to the dock registration office first to see what I can exchange, and then consider whether to take the risk of participating in this red tide based on the rewards I can get.

If there's nothing good,

It’s better to leave Golden Crocodile Wharf before the red tide breaks out, so as to avoid having to stay there for a while after the red tide breaks out.

The tavern happened to be located near the port and not far from the lighthouse registration point.

Su Wang immediately put on his fishing raincoat and went downstairs to the registration lighthouse where he had applied for the ship certificate yesterday.

...

Entering the lighthouse,
Sitting behind the check-in counter was still the fin-eared girl I saw yesterday.

As Su Wang walked towards the counter, he recalled the girl's name.

It seems her name is Jelica?
But this is not important. When he arrived at the counter, Su Wang asked directly.

"Hello, Miss Jerica."

"Excuse me, is this where I can find out what materials I can redeem with Red Tide Merits?"

Jerica, who was busy with her work, looked up and saw that the person speaking was the handsome man who had rejected her advances the day before. Thinking of her own bold action yesterday, Jerica's expression showed a bit of shyness.

"Yes...it's here."

As he spoke, he handed over a scroll.

After Su Wang took it, he found that the scroll, like the ship certificate, was an item unique to the dock.

[Dock Merit Exchange List]

Azure Fish Coin: 1 coin can be exchanged for every 1 point of merit.

Universal ship-mounted cannon: one can be exchanged for every 300 merits.

Retrospection Stone: 300 Merits per stone.

Fish Soul: Ordinary level 100 merits, Black Iron level 300 merits, Bronze level 500 merits, Silver level 700 merits (cannot be exchanged when there is no stock at the dock).

Random fish treasures: Ordinary level 500 merits, Black Iron level 1000 merits, Bronze level 2000 merits (cannot be exchanged when there is no stock at the dock).

Small warship: 300 merits per ship.

Medium warship: 500 merits per ship.

Large warship: 1000 merits per ship.

Captain's Baptism Potion: 2000 Merits per bottle.

...

Su Wang was immediately attracted by the items on the exchange list.

Not only can you exchange it for the retrospection stone you are looking for, but also for rare items such as fish souls and fish treasures.

There were also several exchange items that Su Wangjian had never seen before.

The ship-borne artillery is not difficult to understand, as it is one of the facilities currently missing on the Wangxin.

What Su Wang didn’t quite understand was the exchange of several other types of warships.

Could it be that these ships docked at the pier come from here?
What is the Captain's Baptismal Potion?
Although he didn't know the value of some items, the rewind stone and the ship-borne cannon were exactly the props that Su Wang urgently needed.

After checking the contents of the merit exchange items, Su Wang returned the exchange scroll to Jelica.

Then he left the lighthouse in disappointment on the other party's face.

After walking out of the lighthouse gate, Su Wang had already made up his mind.

"It seems we need to get involved with the red tide at Golden Crocodile Pier."

Although fish souls and fish treasures are very attractive, they are not unavailable on the Wangxin.

Su Wang also knew where to get these two props.

The retrospective stone was found on the exchange list just now.

The same is true for the Lost Heart's missing shipboard artillery.

Su Wang was thinking about getting at least 300 merits in exchange for a backtracking stone, which was related to whether he could repair the broken golden dock pointer in his hand.

If you have enough merits,

It would be even better if we could replace one or two ship-borne cannons to make up for the missing facilities of the Wangxin.

...

After deciding to participate in the red tide cleanup,
Su Wang planned to stock up on some fish and meat before the red tide started, as well as purchase more fruits and vegetables that would be useful in the future.

There is still a lot of fish on hand, but no one knows how long the red tide will last.

The fish meat in his hands could not sustain a long-term battle.

What's more, the endurance recovery value of some ordinary fish meat in hand is too low, and you won't be able to finish it if you eat too much in a short period of time.

Therefore, the best choice is the black iron grade fish meat with better recovery effect, and it would be even better if you can find the bronze grade fish meat.

After searching for half a day,
We bought a lot of fish that met our requirements and also visited many places on the pier.

It’s a pity that the only area you can visit is the outer area of ​​the pier. The inner area is blocked by towering walls and guards are on duty.

It seems that ordinary people cannot enter easily.

While wandering around.

Su Wang also used his talent-spotting eyes to look for candidates to be crew members from time to time.
However, most of the people I see only have gray or white qualification information above their heads.

Occasionally, he would see green information, but the green qualifications still did not meet Su Wang's psychological expectations.

Currently, there are only 4 crew members who can be contracted on the ship, and the key is whether the contracted crew members can be replaced a second time.

Su Wang was really unwilling to waste a position on evaluating the target of Black Iron Qualification.

I'm going to look for it again, and if I really can't find it, I'll just leave it empty for now.

At this time, Su Wang happened to pass by an alley.

A loud shout from the alley attracted Su Wang's attention.

"Damn it, you dirty bastard."

"I was wondering why he's been hanging around my store lately. Turns out he's been stealing!"

Following the sound,

Two figures, one tall and one short, were standing at the door of a shop, with a few scattered people standing around to watch.

The tall one should be the owner of the shop.

At this time, the shop owner grabbed the arm of a petite man wearing a tattered cloak.

The petite figure was now facing away from Su Wang.
The short figure kept struggling and pushing, as if trying to break free from the shop owner's grip and escape.

Su Wang saw the broken fruit on the ground and thought about the scolding from the shop owner just now.

It is not difficult to guess what happened. The thief was caught stealing by the boss on the spot.

At any other time, Su Wang might have just taken a look and stopped paying attention.

After all, thieves don't deserve mercy.

But when he saw the information above the petite figure's head, Su Wang had to stop.

[Crew Qualification: Gold Maintenance Qualification. (White)]

Su Wang rubbed his eyes lightly to make sure he was not dizzy.

The information displayed above the petite figure's head contained the words "Golden Maintenance Qualification" in large letters.

What surprised Su Wang was the color of the qualification information above the petite figure's head.

"White? Isn't white information just for ordinary crew members?"

...
