Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 88 Trouble and Invitation

The next morning.

Su Wang woke up in the hotel and opened the fishing mission to check it out as usual.

Last night's pollution cleanup mission.

There is no participation of the Heart of Destruction.
The Qin Shi Huang, whose strength has been greatly improved, ranks first in the points ranking with 6690 points.

The other fishermen on the leaderboard also had scores of around a few thousand.

Su Wang yawned and murmured, "The fishermen have become much stronger recently."

The clean sea fish treasure plus yesterday's fishing battle event,
The strength of existing fishermen has been greatly improved, at least they are now basically adept at dealing with strange fish.

In the short term, most fishermen will probably quickly reach the node stage of upgrading to level 4 vehicles.

The rarity of rare fish species,

This may cause a large number of fishermen to be stuck in the same situation as Lao Cao before, due to the lack of rare materials.

While Su Wang was washing and taking care of his personal hygiene, he was thinking about the problem of the fish pond in his heart.

If Fool's Wharf can start to provide rare fish materials in large quantities,
Whether it is put up for sale in exchange for resources or used to attract fishermen to the dock, it is a good choice.

"It takes too long for the fish breeding lake to reproduce rare fish. I wonder if assigning some workers to it can increase the reproduction rate."

Thinking of this, Su Wang decided to schedule the first expansion of Fool's Wharf.

By then, we will be able to contact other local ports and solve the initial population problem, and the port development will be on the right track.

After washing,

Su Wang left the hotel and continued to look for the crew at Huoxia Wharf.

With the eye for talent open, walk through the alleys of the port in search of available talent.

Unlike last night, there were obviously a lot more pedestrians in the port during the day.

However, after taking just two steps, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

"Gold qualification?"

Located at the entrance of a shop.
Above the head of a cloaked figure, golden qualification information appeared.

The moment I saw the qualification information,
The first feeling that arose in Su Wang's heart was not joy, but surprise.

Among the local humans seen so far, those with gold qualifications are basically members of the Wharf family.

"Could it be a bloodline purifier?"

Su Wang couldn't help but think of the term he had heard from Novan.

But no matter what,
Now that you see a target with gold qualifications, it’s always a good idea to go up and communicate with him first.

If he is indeed a blood purifier, with the capital currently in hand, it may be possible to recruit him as a subordinate.

At this time, the gold qualification holder seemed to have bought the things and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Su Wang hurriedly approached him.

Fortunately, the other party was just walking at a normal speed, and he was within 30 meters of the other party in just two steps.

However, the other party had already walked to the corner of an alley and disappeared from sight.

Su Wang immediately trotted forward, also came to the corner and looked inside the alley.

When he looked up, he immediately met a pair of blue-purple eyes.

He was covered in a cloak,

Even the cheeks that were not covered by the cloak were mostly hidden by the veil, leaving only a pair of eyes and half of the nose exposed.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

A cold and wary voice rang out from under the veil.

Hearing the other party's voice, Su Wang was slightly surprised.

"This sound..."

When Su Wang saw his narrow back, he had guessed that the other person was a woman or a younger boy.

The reason why Su Wang was surprised was that
The tone of this voice sounded familiar, as if I had heard it not long ago.

Those unique blue-purple eyes made Su Wang feel even more familiar.

"Are you mute? I'm warning you, the guards patrolling the docks are nearby."

The other party's subsequent questioning made Su Wang give up trying to recall where the sense of familiarity came from and instead began to explain.

"I'm sorry, I didn't follow you with any ill intentions. I just wanted to talk about something."

Su Wang could feel that the other party's current attitude was very vigilant, and he had already regarded him as a "bad guy" who liked to follow him.

But as a patient with social phobia, Su Wang is used to being straightforward.

Originally, he planned to catch up with them and start a conversation.

But now the other party had already discovered it in advance and started questioning him, so Su Wang asked directly.

"I'm looking for the right crew member, interested in talking?"

However, facing Su Wang's invitation,
A hint of displeasure flashed across the other person's exposed eyes, and the corners of his slender eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

A cold refusal sounded.

"Crew? Not interested, and neither am I interested in talking to you. If you don't leave, I'll call the guards."

Hearing the other party's expulsion words,
Su Wang did not respond immediately, but a hint of realization suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked subconsciously.

"Are you... Miss Tia?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party's blue-purple eyes suddenly shrank, and he took two steps back vigilantly, as if he was ready to escape at any time.

"You were sent by Cindy to arrest me?"

Although the other party did not give a clear response, this attitude made Su Wang feel that his guess was correct.

However, when Su Wang heard the other party's question, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Cindy? Who's that?

"I don't know Cindy, and I only recognized you because I happened to have seen you."

As he answered, Su Wang became even more confused.

Judging from Tia's reaction just now, it seems that she is trying to avoid being caught by someone.

But isn’t she the eldest daughter of the Golden Crocodile Wharf Horned Eel family?
Not only did he appear alone at the Fire Shrimp Wharf, but he didn't even have a single guard by his side.

At this moment, Su Wang suddenly remembered the Novan ship he encountered yesterday. Combined with the current situation of Tiaya appearing at the Fire Shrimp Wharf,

Perhaps Tia was on Novan's boat at the time, which is why she came to the Fire Shrimp Pier.

But now I met Tia, but I didn’t see Novan, the guard.

Su Wang thought for two seconds and continued.

"Miss Tia, isn't Mr. Novant with you?"

"Thank you for helping me buy the purified water last time."

Judging from Tia's current condition, it seems that she has encountered some trouble.

In fact, this trouble has reduced her to the point where she has to hide from place to place.

What Su Wang was considering just now was whether to continue to get involved or just let him leave.

But seeing the golden command qualification above her head, Su Wang decided to continue to learn more.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to contact such family members.

Although it may not be possible to get him to agree to become a crew member, it is still possible to give it a try. It is not too late to give up unless there is really no chance.

As Su Wang said these two words,
The vigilance in Tia's eyes suddenly turned into surprise, and then she became alert again.

"Are you the young captain?"

"No... who are you?"

Su Wang quickly understood and after thinking for two seconds, he removed the effect of the fish skin mask on his face.

"Sorry, I used some disguise tricks earlier."

The reason why he removed his disguise.

One is that Tia had seen herself without disguise before, and that was when she was at her weakest.

She showed no ill intentions at the time.

At present, my own strength has improved dramatically, so there is no need to worry about the other party's malicious intentions.

Secondly, it seems that Tia is very alert at the moment, and it will be difficult to continue communicating without gaining the other party's trust.

As expected, as the disguise of the fish skin mask was removed,
After Tia saw Su Wang's true face, the vigilance in her eyes suddenly faded a lot.

"It's really you..."

Seeing that Tia's vigilance had relaxed a lot, Su Wang immediately took two steps closer and asked.

"Miss Tia, you seem to be in trouble. Do you need my help?"

"I owe you a lot for helping me buy purified water last time. If there's anything I can do for you, I'll just repay you."

Tia shook her head upon hearing this.

"No need. You've already exchanged what I need for the purified source water. It doesn't count as a favor. You, a shipmaster, can't help me with anything."

Su Wang couldn't help feeling speechless when he heard this.

"It seems like this is being underestimated."

But this is no wonder.
I guess Tia's impression of him is still stuck on the first time they met a few days ago.

At that time, Su Wang was just the captain of a small sailboat, and he didn't even have a cannon on board.

Seeing that Tia had turned around and left, Su Wang followed and tried to persuade her to stay.

"Miss Tia, the trouble you're in must be quite serious. Why don't you give it a try?"

"As long as you agree to become my crew member, I am still able to solve the general troubles."

Hearing the words coming from behind, Tia turned around and frowned at the person who followed her.

"Being overconfident will lead to disaster. A large fleet might be able to help me with my problem, but it's not something a single captain like you can handle."

"If you want to find crew members, go to the port to recruit. If you pay enough, someone will be willing to follow you. Don't follow me anymore."

After saying that, Tia turned around and walked towards the corner.

Su Wang smiled bitterly when he heard this.

If I could recruit crew members at will, I would have recruited enough already.

However, from Tia's words, he could hear the difficulty of the problem the other party was facing.

"At least a large fleet is needed to help? It seems that the problem is indeed quite serious."

But Su Wang felt that he could still fight for it.

If it was a problem that previously required a large fleet to solve, I might not be able to get involved.

But now, that’s not necessarily the case.

Su Wang responded immediately.

"Miss Tia, you are probably trying to escape from someone right now, right?"

"If possible, would you like to find a place to talk in depth?
At least you've seen my disguise, which is much better than just covering yourself with a face scarf."

Sure enough, Tia's figure, which was about to leave, paused.

By the time Su Wang slowly caught up, Tia had already turned around and looked over.

"Can you teach me this disguise method?"

Su Wang nodded immediately.

"Of course. Can we find a place to sit and talk this time?"

"Maybe this isn't the only problem I can help you with?"

Tia nodded after hesitating for a moment.

At this moment, she was also somewhat confused.

She had clearly refused.
He also said that her trouble would require at least a large fleet to be able to participate.

But what confidence does this young man have to participate?

Why was he so determined to invite me to be his crew member?
