Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 28 Food and accommodation included
[The target has no subjective intention to become a member of the Dead Heart crew, and cannot activate the crew to sign the contract.]

【Target information：
Name: Bebeth Milley
Qualifications: Gold maintenance qualification (qualification damaged due to deep pollution).

When employed as a vehicle mechanic, qualifications will provide 5 bonuses:
① Improve offshore maintenance effectiveness by 300% (currently 50%).

② When maintaining a facility, there is a 100% chance of adding a random, time-limited buff to the facility (currently 1%).

③ When a vehicle is maintained or repaired, there is a 100% chance of providing the fisherman with a random, time-limited buff effect (currently 1%).

④ The basic attribute of vehicle durability is increased by 100 points, and the speed is increased by 50 knots (currently 10%).

⑤Gold Talent: Coral Shell (bloodline not activated).

Tip: Although naturally endowed with excellent repair aptitude, due to the erosion of evil pollution, this aptitude has been severely damaged. To purify the pollution, it is necessary to bathe in high-quality purified water for a long time.

...

"It really is the gold maintenance qualification..."

Su Wang was overjoyed at first, but then he frowned slightly.

It seems that due to some kind of pollution, the various abilities of this golden maintenance qualification have been greatly reduced.

But this is indeed a person with golden maintenance crew qualifications.

“Do you want to try recruiting?”

For a time,

Su Wang had a lot of thoughts in his mind and became a little hesitant.

After seeing so many people on the pier,

Even Iron Crew Qualification was uncommon, let alone Gold Crew Qualification.

But the problem is that this person who holds the golden crew qualification has some big problems, and there is a big gap between his qualifications and those of a normal golden crew member.

This may be the reason why the qualification information appears in white.

While hesitating,

Su Wang looked up at the petite figure who had picked up the scroll.

The petite figure stood timidly in place,

At this time, he was also looking at Su Wang, and from the fact that he was holding the scroll tightly in his little hands, it seemed that he was very nervous.

Even when their eyes met,

Su Wang could sense the uneasiness and anxiety, as well as a deeper expectation, in the other person's eyes.

expect?

What does she expect?
At this time, the petite figure seemed to muster up the courage and took two steps towards Su Wang.

He asked in a soft voice that was clearer and brighter than before in the alley.

"Can...can you?"

"Mirei...Mirei eats very little...and she's willing to do anything as long as she can get a little bit of food."

Su Wang was slightly stunned.
Only then did I understand what the expectation in the other person's eyes was.

However, due to qualification issues, some method is needed to resolve the issue.

At the moment, Su Wang has not yet decided whether to tell the petite figure that he is planning to hire crew members.

Just during the few seconds when Su Wang hesitated and did not respond.

The hope in the petite figure's eyes was fading bit by bit.

The courage that had gathered in my heart also faded away. I put the scroll on the ground and planned to leave.

She didn't even take the 10 Coinfish coins that she had promised to give her.

Su Wang looked at the petite figure turning around.
Suddenly I felt like seeing a kitten that was abandoned again.

My heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Yes…

He arbitrarily extended a hand of hope to someone who was at their lowest point, but took it back without waiting for the other person to grasp it...

Isn’t this a bit too irresponsible?

The balance in Su Wang's heart had already come to an end.

Even the Black Iron crew qualification is not common, and it will be difficult to come across a Gold crew qualification again if you miss it.

Although there are some problems with the qualifications of this golden crew, at least it is essentially golden level.

Besides, there are solutions to the problems that affect qualifications in the prompt information. Just follow the solutions.

The little guy's only requirement for treatment is to have enough food to eat.
Isn't this kind of employee who has potential and low salary requirements what every boss dreams of?
Su Wang immediately called out softly to the petite figure who had already turned and taken two steps away.

"Hey~ little guy, are you interested in being my crew member?"

As Su Wang finished speaking.

The petite figure who was leaving suddenly stopped, and turned back to look at Su Wang, hope in her eyes rekindled.

"Really? Are you going to...hire Mirei?"

Su Wang showed a gentle smile on his face and nodded.

"Yes, my name is Su Wang, and I'm a shipmaster."

"If you're willing, you can join my crew. However, the salary will be as you said, only food and lodging."

At this moment, Mirei's depressed feeling, like an abandoned kitten, suddenly disappeared.

"I'm willing...Mirei is willing! As long as Mirei is given food!"

Seeing this, Su Wang stepped forward, picked up the crew contract scroll on the ground, handed it to the petite figure named Mi Lei in front of him and said.

"Ahem... If you're willing, then take the scroll."

"As long as you declare out loud, 'I am willing to become a crew member under the great and handsome Captain Su Wang,' you will be considered to have accepted my employment."

Su Wang had never experienced the activation and signing process of the crew contract scroll. He only knew that the person who signed the contract needed to voluntarily become a crew member.

This "declaration" was naturally Su Wang's nonsense.

But for now, I can only try it.

After hearing what Su Wang said,
Mi Lei believed it and ran to him, stretched out her dirty little hand and took the scroll from Su Wang's hand.

The moment her little hand touched the scroll, a prompt message appeared in Su Wang's eyes.

[The target, Bebes Mirei, is willing to become a member of the Lost Heart crew. Should she activate and sign the crew contract?] Su Wang suddenly realized something.
As long as the target knows and is willing to become a crew member, the contract terms can be met by simply touching the crew contract scroll.

However, the words had already been spoken, so Su Wang decided to wait until Mi Lei shouted the "spell" before choosing to activate it.

After getting the scroll, the thin and petite Mirei mustered up the courage to shout out loudly.

"I...I am willing to become a member of the crew under the great and handsome Captain Su Wang."

I don’t know if it’s because she’s too weak or if her voice is just like that.

Although Mirei seemed to have shouted very loudly, she still sounded weak.

After hearing him shout out the "declaration", Su Wang immediately chose to activate the contract with his mind.

Next second,
The scroll held in Mirei's hand suddenly emitted a faint light, melted and penetrated into Mirei's small hand.

A scale that looked the same as the one on Su Wang's hand, but a little smaller, immediately appeared on the back of her hand.

[Target Bebes Mirei volunteers to become crew member number one of the Heart of Death. Crew contract signed successfully.]

[Crew: Bebes Mirei]

Crew positions: No positions have been assigned yet.

Strength: 20.

Stamina: 200.

Fish bloodline: Mirror Coral Polyp (deeply polluted state, not activated).

Crew qualification: Gold maintenance qualification (deep pollution).

...

Mirei seemed to be startled by this sudden incident.
Not only did a lot of inexplicable things pop up in my mind, but I also felt changes in my body.

At the same time, I felt a strong sense of connection with the young brother in front of me.

The long-term tragic experience coupled with the unknown abnormal changes made her like a frightened deer.

Fear and timidity immediately appeared in his eyes, and his body instinctively wanted to escape from the spot and hide in a corner.

Seeing this, Su Wang hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid! This is a sign of being part of my crew."

Su Wang's comfort obviously had some effect.
Although Mi Lei looked very uneasy, she still stayed in front of Su Wang.

After a while,

Mirei gradually adapted to the situation, and the uneasiness in her eyes turned into doubt.

She stretched out her little hand and pointed in a certain direction, her eyes seemed to say that something was guiding her.

Su Wang looked in the direction of her finger, which was exactly the direction of the Wangxin.

I immediately understood what she meant.

"It's my boat that has drawn you here, and you'll be living on it with me from now on."

Su Wang took out the ship certificate and checked the bounty information, and found that there was not much time left before the red tide broke out.

An idea came to him immediately.

Su Wang extended his hand to Mi Lei and said.

"Come with me, I'll take you shopping and then show you the boat."

Mirei looked at the big hand that was extended to her, hesitated for two seconds, and then mustered up the courage to put her hand on it.

When two palms, one large and one small, touch each other,
A warm feeling that seemed to have been felt before surged into Mirei's heart.

Su Wang had already clenched the little hand and was leading her towards the nearest alley.

At the moment, Mirei was wearing a dirty and old cloak, although it was impossible to see what she was wearing underneath.

But it is not difficult to imagine that it should be equally dirty and dilapidated.

Su Wang had also bought some replacement clothes and bedding at the dock.

But the clothes were not suitable for Mirei's thin body.

Su Wang planned to buy her some clothes and supplies first, and then go to the ship to see how the crew was taking up their posts.

After finding a shop selling clothes in an alley,
Immediately, he selected some clothes suitable for girls according to Mirei's body shape.

Although Su Wang never asked, and Mi Lei's facial features made it impossible to tell the difference between their genders.

But judging from her name and soft voice, she should be a little girl.

Su Wang intended to let Mi Lei change her clothes and cloak in the fitting room of the store.

However, Mirei seemed a little timid and inferior. She kept wrapping her body tightly under the cloak and was unwilling to take it off.

In addition, there was a hint of inexplicable disgust in the shop owner's eyes when he looked at Mi Lei, but he did not show it too obviously because of the fish coins in Su Wang's hand.

Su Wang had no choice but to take Mi Lei out of the alley and go to where the Wangxin was docked.

...

On the way to the Lost Heart,

Su Wang noticed that a large number of fishman guards began to gather in the dock area, and he saw thousands of them along the way.

This is just what we saw along a short distance. I guess there must be more people gathered in places that we can't see.

Even on the sea near the pier, there were many patrolling boats, as if preparing for the outbreak of red tide.

The entire dock was plunged into a tense atmosphere.

"It seems that this red tide is not simple."

Su Wang also became alert and decided to act cautiously when the red tide broke out.

When we arrived at the inlet channel where the Heart of Death was docked,

After Su Wang drove the Wangxin to lower the connecting ladder, he led Milei to the deck.

After stepping onto the deck,
An inexplicable sense of security arose in Su Wang's heart, as if he had returned home.

Mirei looked at everything on the boat with curiosity and anxiety.
