Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 68 Red Night at the Pier

【Fool's Wharf.】

Occupation Lord: Su Wang.

Pier durability: 881546/100 million, self-recovery capacity has been suppressed by pollution.

...

"A loss of 12 is still acceptable." Su Wang murmured.

The underwater fishman guards are spread too far apart, and they have to transport the monster fish corpses back and forth, which gives the monster fish a lot of time to gnaw on the dock.

Spent nearly an hour,
The durability of the dock only dropped by 12, which was already beyond Su Wang's expectations.

According to the current decline,
As long as we continue to keep the number of attacking monster fish under control, we won't reach the dangerous limit of the dock's endurance even if we last until the end of the Red Night.

The only thing to worry about is

The number of strange fish attracted to the dock has reached the upper limit that the fishman guards can handle.

Since it is still under control,
Su Wang decided to focus on clearing out the fish caught on this side of the port, accumulating several fish souls before returning to the altar for assembly.

One side of the port is 3 kilometers long, and you have to keep bending over to analyze and process the strange fish caught on the ground.

It took more than forty minutes.

Su Wangcai swept from the front end of the harbor to the back end, and caught more than 1 strange fish.

When he looked back,

The port, which had been swept once before, was now scattered with many newly delivered corpses of strange fish.

However, Su Wang didn't plan to go back and sweep again.

During these 40 minutes,

The price of terminal durability has fallen by more than 13 again, which is more than the drop in the previous hour.

This indicates that more and more strange fish are attacking the docks.

And in the past two hours,
The number of replenished Murloc Guards has reached more than 6, consuming nearly two-thirds of the total number of free hatches.

Su Wang immediately took the fish soul obtained by decomposition and went to the fish soul altar to assemble it.

From these more than a thousand strange fish, two ordinary, four black iron, and three bronze-level fish souls were decomposed.

The addition of 2500 murloc guards should slightly ease the pressure on the underwater defense line.

After driving these newly hatched fishman guards to provide support in various places, Su Wang continued to rush to the northern port that had never been raided.

The north port took even longer, and it took him more than an hour to complete the entire walk.

All the extra time was spent on decomposing the body of the strange fish.

Nearly 1800 strange fish were caught, bringing in 15 fish souls.

Su Wang installed it on the Fish Soul Altar and added another 4400 fishman guards.

This time,
Su Wang retained 400 of the ordinary murloc guards and only sent the remaining 4 black iron and bronze murloc guards into the water for support.

After adding two murloc guards, the gaps in the defense line should have been partially filled.

Su Wang decided to leave these 400 ordinary fishmen with weaker combat power as helpers to assist in gathering the corpses of the strange fish so that he could decompose and collect them more conveniently.

The four ports are more than a thousand meters away from the Fish Soul Altar.

It takes about 8 minutes for an ordinary murloc guard to carry a strange fish and make a round trip.

Hauling a larger bronze-level monster fish may be a bit slower, and should take about 10 minutes.

This time is just enough for me to break down and process the strange fish that was delivered to me.

Immediately, Su Wang stayed outside the Fish Soul Altar, and 100 ordinary fishman guards were sent to each port to act as transport workers.

While waiting for the first batch of strange fish to be delivered,

Su Wang checked the replacement of the fishman guards through the Fish Soul Altar.

Now, more than three hours have passed since the arrival of the Red Night.

The initial 9300 murloc guards,
Except for some silver-level murloc guards who have not yet died, the rest have almost all been replenished, and some are even in a vacant state after dying again.

Su Wang immediately spent fish coins to replenish them and sent out all the ones except the ordinary ones again.

Fortunately, replenishing it with fish coins only costs 10% of the original hatching price, so the pressure of replenishing it is not too great.

After a few minutes,
An ordinary fishman guard had already returned with the strange fish, and Su Wang immediately began to decompose it.

In the future,
As soon as Su Wang finished dissecting a fish, a new corpse of a strange fish would be brought to him by the fishman guards.

Without moving around,

Su Wang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and every time he opened a fish soul, he could immediately assemble it on the fish soul altar.

The murloc guards that are hatched in time can also be dispatched to underwater support earlier.

This whole process lasted for more than an hour.

During this period, Su Wang checked the dock overview map and dock durability many times.

As more and more fishman guards are added,
The density of underwater garrisons is also gradually increasing, so the rate at which the dock's durability decreases is gradually decreasing.

The number of reports of attacks on the docks has also been greatly reduced.

Until now,

Su Wang rarely saw any signs of being attacked, and the durability of the dock had not dropped by more than 10 points in more than minutes.

Due to the increase in the number of ordinary fishman guards who were transformed into transporters, a large number of strange fish catches began to pile up in front of Su Wang.

Just the long period of decomposition and picking up made Su Wang's arms sore.

At this time,

Su Wang recalled that on the night of the red tide at Golden Crocodile Wharf, there was also an action of transporting the corpse of the strange fish, which should also be used for decomposition.

This shows that there should be a faster way to decompose!
Su Wang immediately stopped cutting up the fish and went to the lord's palace to check.

Enter the construction sandbox mode and prepare to check out several buildings that can be built.

"A residential building and a harbor lighthouse shouldn't be the right place. Could it be a shipyard or facility manufacturing plant?"

Su Wang eliminated two impossible options and checked the information of the remaining two.

Shipyard

Category: Terminal Infrastructure.

Function: You can craft a variety of basic ships by consuming various materials. Special ships only require a map scroll. Floor area: 300m*300m.

Construction cost: 5 each of wood, steel, and Azure Fish Coins.

...

【Facility Manufacturing Plant】

Category: Terminal Infrastructure.

Function: You can make basic ship facilities by consuming various materials. Special ship facilities require a map scroll.

Floor area: 200m*200m.

Construction cost: 5 each of wood, steel, and Azure Fish Coins.

...

Both facilities are associated with boats, but neither specifies that they can disassemble fish.

Su Wang decided to build them all and see for himself.

After checking the material inventory in the fish hold, I found that there was more than enough wood and steel, but there was still a big shortage of fish coins.

Su Wang immediately took out a lot of fish maws that he had no time to open.

Get fish coins by opening the fish belly, and stop temporarily after the number of fish coins reaches 10.

Enter build mode.
Su Wang selected two adjacent vacant areas at the docks and drove all the fishman guards away from the area.

I chose to build it only after there were no more murloc guards.

After construction is completed,

Su Wangma walked out of the palace without stopping and came to the vicinity of two buildings.

The two buildings look very similar.
The difference is that one has a cannon-shaped plaque, while the other has a ship-shaped plaque.

Su Wang was the first to open the door of the shipyard.

What caught the eye were several production tables and a facility that was more than ten meters high and looked like a large meat grinder.

As Su Wang looked carefully, various pieces of information appeared in his eyes.

[Fishing Boat Crafting Station], [Transport Ship Crafting Station], [Small Sloop Crafting Station], [Medium Double-sailed Warship Crafting Station], [Large Multi-sailed Warship Crafting Station], [Fish Decomposing Machine].

...

Su Wang glanced at the rest of the information and focused his attention on the [Fish Decomposer] which was like a large meat grinder.

【Fish decomposition machine】

Function: After opening, fish can be put into the decomposition process, and the materials will be automatically stored in the dock lord's warehouse.

...

"Sure enough, there are facilities for decomposing fish!" Su Wang was immediately delighted.

As for the dock lord's warehouse mentioned in the information, it has been assimilated into the fish hold.

As a result,
As long as this decomposition machine is turned on, the fishman guards can directly transport the fish here for decomposition.

Su Wang immediately turned on the machine, and the meat grinder-like roller of the disintegrator began to rotate.

Su Wang immediately came to the outside of the shipyard and ordered the fishman guards who were transporting the fish corpses to change the delivery location.

Not long after,

One by one, the fishman guards carried the corpses of the strange fish into the shipyard.

Every fish corpse thrown into the decomposition machine will disappear instantly.
Su Wang will receive a message prompting that all materials have been stored in the fish hold, and at the same time even the fish belly will be opened.

"It's much more convenient now!"

Su Wang simply went to the decomposition machine and threw the unopened fish stomachs previously stored in the fish hold into it.

Just for a moment,

Su Wang discovered that all the resources and materials in the fish hold were constantly increasing, but he did not see any fish skin props.

This made him guess,

Perhaps only when the fisherman opens the fish belly himself will there be a chance to obtain the fish skin item.

However, there shouldn't be many fishermen who are still in need of this kind of camouflage prop at the moment, so it's not a pity to lose it.

...

Now he doesn't have to decompose it himself, and Su Wang is completely liberated.

He immediately summoned the Lord's Scroll to check the general situation of the dock. It was already in a stable state and there was no need to worry too much.

Just wait for the fishman guards to transport and disassemble the fish, and then get new fish souls to replenish the troops.

Besides, it is less than two hours before the Red Night dissipates, and the activity of the strange fish will gradually decrease in the next hour.

These two new buildings have just been built, so we can take a good look at what functions they have.

In particular, the current shipyard is another combat unit that will help the port cope with the red tide in the future.

Su Wang walked to the nearest production table to check it out.

【Fishing Boat Crafting Station】

Function: To make a small fishing boat with a length of 30 meters and a width of 20 meters.
It can catch fish in the sea and has a built-in fish storage pond. It requires personnel to operate and control and cannot be equipped with combat facilities.

Production costs: wood, steel, blue fish coins*5000, ordinary fish skin, fish tendons, fish glue, fish scales*5000.

...

"Fishing boat..."

Su Wang couldn't help but think of the Fish Breeding Lake. This fishing boat could bring great convenience to the supply of fish to the Fish Breeding Lake.

The fish sold at the Golden Crocodile Wharf may also come from the catch of this fishing boat.

It's a pity that it requires people to control it.
At the moment, there is no extra manpower to operate the ship at the dock except for himself and Mirei.
