Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 38: Polluter (Please read on Monday)
A few days ago, Su Wang felt that being too conspicuous was not very beneficial.

Now that we have decided to develop towards the dock lord,

Taking advantage of this high-profile opportunity, perhaps he could publicize in advance that he was going to become the dock lord.

Once the dock is built or a way to recruit other fishermen is found, the reputation gained through publicity might be able to attract a group of people.

Su Wang just opened the fisherman exchange area,

The vast amount of information displayed was indeed concentrated on the ranking of points for this fishing mission.

"Did Boss Wangxin disturb the fish's nest last night? Over 10,000 points is too scary."

Cupid: "If there is Yu, why is there Liang? Last night, I was defeated by the boss of Wangxin. I will definitely catch up another day."

"The one upstairs is shameless, look at what you're talking about."

Cupid: "It's just a double-digit loss, why bother making such a fuss?"

"I didn't see Wang Xin on the list the day before yesterday, so I thought he was done for. But today he's really got into a big fight!"

"Wasn't there news that Boss Wangxin found the dock the day before yesterday? I guess he just came out to do the mission last night, but his points are a bit scary."

Coca-Cola: "Tsk~ Wait till my Coca-Cola is upgraded to level 3 vehicle, then I can come and do some big things too!"

Qin Shi Huang: "I believe it. Why don't you contact me first, Kela, and give me 100 fish coins to buy materials. I will then appoint you as General Kela."

Coca-Cola: "No, get out!"

...

Su Wang looked at the information that kept jumping in the communication area,
Among them, there are also several fishermen with boat names.

Su Wang thought about it and posted a few messages.

Wang Xin Hao: "Good morning, don't worry too much about the points.

I was lucky enough to take first place again, just because I happened to take advantage of an opportunity."

Deathheart: "Now I have found a way to set up a dock.

Once the terminal is established, everyone is welcome to stop by."

Regarding the preparation to develop our own terminal,
Su Wang didn't intend to hide it.

When the information appeared in the communication area, it really aroused discussion among many fishermen.

"Certified masters are different. They're planning to build their own dock?"

"Boss Wangxin wants to set up a dock? I think it will be very troublesome."

"I support Wangxin Boss! Let's quickly build a pier for us fishermen.
I found the dock but can't get in. They say I need to get a new boat license and it costs 100 fish coins."

"Me too. I stayed up all night fishing last night to get 100 fish coins."

"I have re-issued my boat license, but it was free after I became the owner of this dock.

I heard we have to complete the missions given by the dock every week. It seems quite dangerous. I regret it a bit."

"Brother, are you selling yourself out for a ship's license?"

Qin Shi Huang: "Heartless Boss! The dock is ready, please take me in! I can barely afford to eat while I'm trying to repair the vehicle!"

...

Su Wang also gave a certain response based on the feedback from the fishermen.

Tell them that if the dock is built and there is a way to tell them where it is, they are certainly welcome to come.

After exiting the communication area, Su Wang couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Many fishermen have now found nearby docks, but it seems that most of them are stuck on the issue of reissuing their boat licenses.

The few that have developed well are also unable to dock at the pier for a long time due to insufficient fish coins.

Some of them even chose to belong to local ports.

The consequences were just as he had expected, and required certain restrictions at the dock.

Sitting up from the bed,
Su Wang patted his face to dispel the tiredness and messy thoughts in his mind.

After leaving the room,
Su Wangben was planning to call Mi Lei to get up and go eat together, but he found that Mi Lei seemed to have gotten up earlier.

He saw that the room was empty and there was no sign of her on the deck.

Su Wang thought about it and went into the cabin.

Coming into the cabin,
Sure enough, I found Mirei sitting at the table in the middle of the hall eating.

When Mi Lei saw Su Wang walking down the stairs, she immediately greeted him.

"Good morning, Captain."

Mi Lei followed Su Wang's instructions yesterday and cleaned herself and changed her clothes.

At this time, she was wearing long clothes and long pants, wrapping herself tightly.

With clean little hands and neat clothes, he looked much more energetic.

What is unexpected is.

Since Mirei didn't wear a cloak to cover her body, one could see many strange coral-like growths growing between her hair.

When Su Wang saw this, he was only surprised in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

Then I thought that the daytime temperature in the world is not that low.
It might be a bit hot to wear this, but there are some cooler and looser clothes prepared for her.

Su Wang asked curiously.

"Good morning, Mirei. Why don't you wear something more comfortable? Don't you like it?"

Mirei shook her head in response.

"I like it, but Mirei should wear this."

Seeing this, Su Wang didn't want to force anything.

I also turned around and took some food from the counter for breakfast. But looking at the sashimi and raw fruits in my hand,

Su Wang couldn't help but look forward to finding a crew member with cooking qualifications as soon as possible.

During the meal,

Su Wang looked at Mi Lei several times, wanting to ask about the pollution on her body.

Although her information tip provides solutions to pollution, it is always good to know more.

After all, Mirei has been signed as a crew member, and as the captain, it is only right for him to pay more attention to the crew's own problems.

Su Wang thought that she seemed to be resisting this.

And since the two of them were not very familiar with each other at the moment, they decided to start with the basics.

"Milei, have you lived in Golden Crocodile Pier since you were a child?"

Hearing Su Wang's question,
Mi Lei, who was about to put a red eggplant into her mouth, paused for a moment, then answered timidly.

"Not really, Mirei...used to live in Coral Pier."

"Coral Pier was polluted, and Mirei was rescued by the Golden Crocodile Fleet."

"Milei is now like this, she is also polluted..."

Hearing Mi Lei's answer, Su Wang was slightly stunned.

This…

Didn't I ask Mirei about her sore spot?
But since Mirei said it on her own initiative, it means that the resistance in her heart is not so serious at this time.

Su Wang thought about it and decided to just ask directly about the pollution.

"Milei, can you tell me about how you were contaminated?"

This time, Mirei kept her mouth shut for several seconds, but eventually she opened her mouth and began to speak.

...

After a few minutes, Mirei had finished telling her story.

After hearing this, Su Wang was a little confused.

It seems that I have picked up a "little princess".

It turns out that Mirei is not only from Coral Pier, but also the daughter of the patriarch of the Coral Family, the original ruler of Coral Pier.

In this world dominated by docks, her original identity is indeed no different from that of a "princess of a small country."

But now Mirei is no longer the "little princess" of the ruler of the dock family, but a very special polluter.

The reason why it is very special is that
This is because Mirei is different from the general insane polluters. She has a very normal mind.

Su Wang also learned from Mi Lei that there is another group of people in this world - the polluted native humans.

If the dock is eroded by pollution,

Then, in a very short period of time, the native humans living on the docks will also be polluted and corrupted, becoming insane polluters.

Mirei was able to maintain her sanity thanks to the rare specialties of Coral Pier and the unique properties of coral blood.

What surprised Su Wang even more was that
The rare specialty of Coral Pier mentioned by Mirei happens to be the purified source water mentioned in the crew qualification information!
When the Coral Pier was polluted,
Mirei's father soaked her in purified water, which allowed her to survive until she was discovered by the Golden Crocodile Family when the pollution at the dock was being eliminated.

It's just that the entire dock has been degraded for too long.

As a result, Mirei was still severely polluted, but her mind did not fall into madness like other polluters.

The Coral Family and the Golden Crocodile Family have a good relationship.

Only then did they manage to bring Mirei back to the Golden Crocodile Wharf, but they simply left her at the wharf to fend for herself.

Su Wang recalled several key points in what Mi Lei said and couldn't help but ask.

“Mirei, is Coral Pier polluted because of red tide?

"Also, do you know of any docks that have specialty products like purified water?"

It seems that the tragic memories are triggered,

Mi Lei was obviously a little depressed at this time, but fortunately she still responded after hearing Su Wang's question.

"No... I remember there was no red tide at that time.

Mirei was hidden in front of Quan Min by her father, and she only heard her father say that the polluter had come.

"Milei wasn't too sure about the docks and the water purification sources. She was too young at the time, and her father didn't tell me about it."

Hearing Mirei's answer,
Su Wang didn't ask any further questions, but based on the information provided by Mi Lei, he was able to resolve some of his doubts.

For example, why are there fewer and fewer docks in this world?

Although it is difficult for the port to start and develop, and there are problems such as having to survive red tides repeatedly.

However, as long as we seek more assistance from other ports and strengthen the ports' own sea cleaning capabilities, the number of ports should not decrease further.

Now it seems that the main reason lies with the polluters.
It seems that polluters will attack these normal docks, which is why the number of normal docks has not been able to expand, but has instead decreased.

Su Wang couldn't help but guess that the number of polluters in this world might be even greater than that of normal native humans!
Once again, we learned a key piece of information about the world situation, and it was bad news.

Su Wang's mood became even heavier, and the red eggplant in his mouth didn't taste as sweet anymore.

Gan!
It really is a world that is about to rot...

Turning his head to see Mi Lei with her head down and looking depressed, Su Wang spoke to comfort her.

"Milei, don't worry, I will find a way to deal with the pollution on you."

When Mi Lei heard Su Wang's words, she looked up and nodded slightly at him.

"Well...as long as the captain doesn't chase Mirei away because she's a polluter..."

...
