Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 73 Collecting Scrolls
The strange ship, motionless, gradually sank under several rounds of artillery fire from the Wangxin.

Su Wang immediately drove the boat forward to collect the spoils.

After some searching, 10 damaged warship cores were salvaged one by one.

In addition to the 9 medium-sized ones, one of them is the damaged core of the large strange ship.

[The damaged core of a large warship.]

Can be decomposed: produces wood, steel, and Azure Fish Coins*2.

...

This large damaged core, together with the other 14 medium-sized damaged cores that were salvaged, yielded 9 of the three basic resources just by decomposing them.

Other than that,

The personal emergency fishing mission of killing polluters has also reached the settlement and collection standard of 5 times.

Su Wang immediately chose to settle the payment.

[Emergency Fishing Mission: Kill/Purify the Corrupted, Completed.]

[Deposit 2.5 Azure Fish Coins, 2 Low-Level Induction Alchemy Mixtures, 2 Shipmaster Baptism Potion, and 1 Endurance Potion in the fish hold.]

Seeing that there were two new potions in the reward, Su Wang found them in the fish hold and checked them.

The endurance potion shows that it can restore 50% of the endurance value after swallowing.

The effect of the other potion made Su Wang's eyes light up.

[Low-level Induction Alchemy Mixture]

Rank: Bronze.

Effect: Throwing it into the water can effectively attract rare fish below the silver level and bring them to the shallow 100-meter water.

The effective range of each bottle is 2000 meters and 1 nautical mile underwater. The effect takes a certain amount of time to spread, and it is better to use it with mixed bait.

...

"Effective in attracting rare fish..."

The effect of this potion is extremely important to Su Wang.

Right now, the equipment is still missing a fish treasure, and there is not a single rare fish in the fish pond.

If this potion can really catch one or two rare fish, it will undoubtedly be of great help.

Su Wang immediately put it carefully into the fish hold and prepared to find a time to try it out.

While dealing with the strange ship alliance, the other two strange ships disappeared without a trace.

Although he was unwilling, Su Wang had no choice but to return to the dock.

...

After returning to Fool's Wharf,

Su Wangben planned to sort out last night's harvest, but thinking that there would be another red tide coming in the evening, he decided to wait until he had successfully passed the red tide before counting them together.

Then he spoke to Mireita who was in the cabin.

"Milei, come up from the cabin. I have something to ask you."

Su Wang also immediately heard Mi Lei's response.

"Okay, I'll be right up."

Su Wang asked only after Mirei jogged all the way from the stern of the ship to his front.

"Milei, have you finished drinking the purification source water I gave you?"

Mirei shook her little head.

"No, there's still one day's supply left. Captain, do you want it?"

Su Wang nodded.

"Give me this first. I'll give you more purified water in 10 days."

Mirei responded obediently and immediately ran to the room to get the source water that was stored there.

There is now a purification spring at the dock, which can produce 10 liters of high-quality purified water in just 5 days.

This copy that Mirei has in her hand,
Su Wang planned to use it to wash fish meat first, so that he could go to the colorful secret realm to fish for treasure fish.

After getting the water bag from Mirei,

Su Wang immediately took out the small bucket and washed and purified two portions of gold-level lamp shadow shark meat.

When dealing with strange ships,
The underwater detection effect of sonar radar has been tested and it can indeed detect the traces of underwater fish schools.

Su Wang decided to open another colorful scale.

One is to replace all fishing gear accessories with gold grade ones.
Secondly, stock up on some accessories to be used as future rewards and exchange items for military merits at the dock.

After washing the bait, Su Wang immediately opened the water gate leading to the colorful secret realm next to the dock.

Waiting for the boat to pass through the water gate,
Su Wang was not in a hurry to put up the bait and fish, but instead tried out a new skill on the Wangxin.

However, the next second, the appearance of a prompt made him give up his hope of luck.

[This sea area is a special secret area, and the anchor point establishment failed.]

"It seems that taking shortcuts won't work..." Su Wang sighed in his heart.

What he had just experimented with was a new capability acquired by the Heart of Death after it was transferred to Fool's Wharf - anchor shuttle.

The effect is that the waters that the Heart of Death has arrived at can be recorded as the coordinates of the anchor waters. Currently, a total of 3 anchor points can be set.

The effect is to open a water gate,
The Heart of Death can directly shuttle through the water gate to the recorded anchor waters, but the restriction is that it can only be opened twice a day.

Su Wangben wanted to try setting up an anchor point in the colorful secret realm.

Thus,
Even without the colorful scales, he could still enter the secret waters, and there might not even be a time limit. But now he was indeed thinking too much.

Su Wang immediately took out his fishing gear and hung a portion of washed golden fish meat on the hook.

After choosing to turn on the underwater sonar radar,

Everything within 1300 meters underwater is fully presented in stereoscopic 3D projection.

"Huh... there's actually one."

Su Wang saw in the video,
Located 27 meters in front of the Lost Heart, 726 degrees to the left, and about 500 meters underwater, is a jewelfish. Judging by its outline in the image, it appears to be a small jewelfish.

Now that the target's exact location has been discovered,
Su Wang no longer needs to be like before.
Stay where you are and hammer the line, waiting for the bait to attract it. You can go directly to the position where the treasure fish is and cast the hook accurately.

There is still a little time left in the wind-riding state.

At a speed of 30 knots, it took the Wangxin less than 50 seconds to sail above the small treasure fish.

Su Wang threw the fishhook with the gold-grade bait into the water.

Less than 20 seconds after the bait hit the water, a special information prompt appeared.

[A small jewelfish smelled the bait and became very interested in it, heading towards the bait.]

Less than ten seconds later, the information of the bait being swallowed and the hook being taken came one after another.

Long before he cast the hook, Su Wang had already used his imbalance talent to increase his strength.

Stable endurance of 1 points per second,
Combined with the 50% double critical hit rate of the fishhook, the small treasure fish with 1 stamina points was caught in less than 5 second.

"Hehe...it's like turning on a clairvoyance cheat."

Such precise and efficient capture efficiency made Su Wang smile.

In the past, waiting for the jewel fish to pass by or searching for it by mobile fishing would waste a certain amount of time.

Now with precise hook positioning, the wasted time will be greatly reduced.

Su Wang glanced at the sonar image,
After confirming that there were no treasure fish within the range, it randomly chose a direction and began to sail at a constant speed.

After a while, the sonar radar scanned the image of another jewel fish.

But this time it was just a very small fish outline, probably just micro or ultra-small.

But even a mosquito leg is meat, so Su Wang chose not to let it go.

...

After ten minutes,
There were already 14 jewel fish of different sizes piled up on the deck of the Wangxin, including 2 medium-sized ones.

"Is it so hard to find large jewel fish?"

Although he caught a lot of fish, Su Wang wanted to get one or two large jewel fish.

After all, large treasure fish can produce scrolls, which are good things related to the production of props at the dock.

Through this period of searching,
Su Wang also analyzed the underwater activity areas of the jewel fish.

The micro ones are active at a depth of about 100 meters underwater, the ultra-small ones are about 200 meters, the small ones are about 500 meters, and the medium ones are roughly in waters of 800 meters.

Sonar can show water depths of 1300 meters, so large jewel fish should be visible.

After the Wangxin sailed for a distance, the image finally showed the outline of a large fish moving more than a thousand meters underwater.

"Finally found one!"

Su Wang hurriedly drove the Wangxin to the waters above where the treasure fish was swimming and cast the hook and bait.

Sure enough, within a minute we received information that a large jewel fish had been attracted.

In the sonar image, you can see this large treasure fish swimming quickly towards the upper water.

It took about a minute before the hook was bitten.

Under the effect of Suffocating Wind, the large treasure with a stamina value of 10 was caught in just over 8 seconds.

According to the consumption of bait,
If large jewelfish were easy to find, catching a dozen would be enough!
"It's a pity that there are too few of them..." Su Wangxin sighed unsatisfiedly.

After disassembling the large jewel fish caught,
Su Wang picked up the fish belly and chose to open it, wanting to see what kind of scroll he could get and replace the accessories on the fishing gear.

[Store in the fish hold: Wood*5000, Steel Plate*5000, Soil*2000, Azure Fish Coin*5000, Gold Fishing Gear Accessory*1, Random Permanent Scroll*1.]

After finding the accessories and the scroll from the fish hold, Su Wang first checked the information on the scroll.

[Permanent Scroll: Guidance Mine (Silver Level).]

Function: Can be used in the dock facility manufacturing plant to unlock the assembly and production plan of guided mines.

Tip: This scroll is permanent and there is no limit on the production quantity.

...

"Mine? Could it be a torpedo?"

Check out the information of this scroll.
Su Wang suddenly felt a little confused. It seemed like a torpedo facility, but there seemed to be some differences. He could only wait and see after going out and using it.

He immediately put away the scroll and used the golden fishing accessories to replace the silver fishing line on the fishing gear.

[The fishing line has been upgraded to a gold-grade fishing gear accessory, and the length of the fishing line has been increased by 80 meters.]

Su Wang checked the effect of the bait, and sure enough, the bait induction effect increased to 500%.

They immediately continued to search for traces of the jewel fish, striving to find a few more large jewel fish.

...

Two hours later,
The Heart of Death, which had passed through the water gate, had returned to the waters near Fool's Wharf.

With the help of sonar radar,
Su Wang’s journey to the colorful secret realm was quite fruitful.

There were also 41 small, 27 ultra-small, 18 small and 9 medium-sized treasure fish piled on the deck.

In order to gather three large jewel fish,
Su Wangxu used another colorful scale to achieve his goal, and this was with the help of sonar radar.

"It seems that finding large jewel fish still depends on luck, as they are so rare."

But no matter how little it is, the harvest brought by a large treasure fish is also very different.

In addition to the silver-level guided mine scroll,

The other two large treasure fish opened two scrolls: [Mutual Helper Medium Warship (Silver Level)] and [Speeding Turbine (Bronze Level)].

One of them is used to start the warship manufacturing plan, and the other is the manufacturing plan for ship facilities.
