Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 1: Start with a raft, and rely on fishing for resources
After a brief thought of 1 minute and 14.6 seconds.

Su Wang finally realized the fact that he was not dreaming.

The red marks on the wrists from being twisted are the remnants of several self-verifications.

In the memory before waking up,
I originally took advantage of the weekend to go fishing at a reservoir to relieve the work pressure brought by 996.

Unexpectedly, I caught a big fish just after casting the rod. When I was reeling in the fish, I slipped into the reservoir without paying attention.

He lost consciousness the moment he fell into the water, and when he woke up again, he saw an incredible scene.

All you can see is the endless water, and the place you live on is a raft made of bundled thick wood.

Apart from this, there was a leather scroll that was originally placed under his head, and nothing else.

Fortunately, Su Wang is not a nervous person.

After forcing himself to calm down, he quickly analyzed the current situation.

"Such a vast horizontal surface, could it be that I am now on the sea?"

The fishy and salty sea breeze blowing into Su Wang's nostrils made him confirm this speculation.

But I was just fishing, how did I end up in the sea?

This is too outrageous!
At this time, I don’t know if it was because of the sea breeze.

The leather scroll that was originally stationary suddenly rolled and touched the side of Su Wang's thigh.

The smooth touch like fish skin attracted Su Wang's attention to the strange scroll.

After reaching out to pick it up, the scroll suddenly unfolded on its own from its original curled state.

Lines of mysterious text appeared on the unfolded scroll.

in memory,
Su Wang had never learned this kind of mysterious text, but now he understood its meaning without any instruction.

[Chosen One, you have arrived in the blue world, a world of only ocean.]

[Underwater life holds opportunities, but also dangers.]

[This is an invitation to become a "Fisherman." Silently accept the invitation and place it in the water. You will then become a "Fisherman."]

【Protect your ship, it will be your only hope for survival. 】

The ship needs to find a dock to rest. Finding a dock is your first priority.

[As night falls, the suppression of pollution will be weakened and seawater will corrode your vehicle. Please be alert to underwater dangers.]

...

Su Wang was once again amazed by the fantastic scene before him.

"Blue World? This... have I traveled to another world?"

Just when Su Wang was hesitating whether to follow the contents of the scroll and become that weird "fisherman".

Suddenly, a crash came from the side of the raft.

This unusual movement immediately drew his attention away from the scroll.

Su Wang hurriedly looked towards the area where the impact came from.

On the surface of the water, a strange black-scaled fish with a body of more than one meter and protruding fleshy balls all over its body floated up at some point.

The strange fish was constantly hitting and biting the raft.

The area where the raft was hit by the black-scaled monster fish began to ripple out of thin air, as if there was an invisible barrier.

Even though he had been warned by the contents of the scroll, Su Wang still felt incredible when he saw the strange fish for the first time.

The reason is that the strange fish in front of him looks so weird and scary, completely beyond his current cognition.

Not only does the strange fish have irregular protruding tumors all over its body, but there are also several randomly distributed fish eyes on its head.

Inside the fish's mouth, which kept opening and closing to bite the raft, were rows of saw-like sharp teeth growing in disorder.

You can tell at a glance that if you get bitten, it's more than just a matter of losing a few layers of skin.

"Oh no! The raft is breaking!"

The careful Su Wang discovered it at this time.

Despite the invisible barrier, some wood chips still fell off the raft in the area where the strange fish bit and hit it.

It seems that the raft is suffering from chronic damage due to the constant attacks of the strange fish.

Judging from the current rate at which the raft is being damaged, it will take a lot of effort for the strange fish to completely destroy the raft.

But judging from the current behavior of the strange fish, it seems that it will not stop until it completely destroys the raft.

"We can't let it continue biting like this!"

Su Wang quickly lowered his head and looked around, looking for tools to drive away the strange fish.

Now he was in the vast ocean, and the only shelter he had was the raft below him.

If the raft is destroyed,
Not to mention the threat of strange fish, no matter how good a swimmer you are, you will never be able to survive in this vast ocean.

But after looking around, Su Wang didn't find anything that could be used as a weapon.

On the entire raft, the only thing besides himself was the scroll in his hand.

At this moment, the strange fish is still biting the raft tirelessly. Looking at the sharp teeth in the strange fish's mouth that are two fingers wide.

Su Wang immediately gave up the idea of ​​using his body to drive them away.

If you get bitten accidentally, you will definitely lose the two pounds of flesh on your arm.

Hit with a scroll?

This soft scroll would probably be torn into pieces by this strange fish if I threw it over.

He looked at the scroll in his hand, then at the raft, which had lost a small corner due to the attack of the strange fish.

Su Wang thought that the only way he could try right now was to try to become the so-called "fisherman".

Regarding the mysterious scroll, Su Wang was originally cautious about the unknown, fearing that there might be danger in it.

But the appearance of the strange fish now is undoubtedly a more urgent and direct threat.

"It's better to try it than to lose the raft and let it fall into the mouth of a fish!"

Su Wang gritted his teeth and decided to follow the instructions on the scroll to obtain the identity of "Fisherman". Seeing that the strange fish had been attacking one side of the raft, Su Wang deliberately went to the other side of the raft.

After taking a deep breath,
He kept repeating "accept the invitation" in his mind and held the scroll towards the water.

Just as Su Wang reached out of the raft with the scroll in his hand, the strange fish that had been attacking the raft on the other side seemed to have sensed it as well.

He plunged into the water and disappeared.

On Su Wang's side, the moment the scroll sank into the water.

The scroll changed rapidly at this moment.

Fish-scale-like patterns appeared on the scroll, and the entire scroll began to melt and condense.

Finally, it turned into a crystal-like scale and was embedded on the back of Su Wang's left hand.

A stream of heat suddenly flowed into his body from the scales on the back of his hand.

Before Su Wang could react to this sudden change, a dark shadow suddenly appeared underwater.

Seeing this scene, Su Wang's heart suddenly became alarmed and he immediately pulled his hand out of the water.

The next second, the fish's mouth, covered with sharp teeth, broke out of the water and bit everything.

Seeing that it failed to bite its target, the strange fish rammed the raft violently as if to vent its anger, and even jumped out of the water to jump onto the raft.

However, because the raft was protected by an invisible barrier, the strange fish could only crash into the barrier and fall back into the water.

Su Wang, who pulled his hand too hard and fell onto the raft, was still feeling scared.

Looking at the strange fish falling into the water, and the fear of almost losing his hand, he became so angry that he couldn't help but curse at the strange fish.

"Fuck! Luckily I pulled back quickly, otherwise I almost got my hand eaten by you ugly freak."

At this moment, the heat flow transmitted by the scales on the back of the hand also stopped.

The scales suddenly turned back into a translucent unfolded scroll, floating in front of Su Wang's face.

Pieces of information emerged from the scroll one by one.

...

In addition to the most conspicuous information about the fisherman and soul carrier,
Su Wang also saw the unfolded information on the scroll, including [Fish Hold], [Fisherman Exchange Area], [Fisherman Trading Area], [Fishing Mission], [Sea Chart], etc.

More importantly, Su Wang realized that he seemed to have some kind of connection with the raft under him.

Now he could feel every bite and hit of the strange fish on the raft.

"Is this how I become a fisherman? It feels so wonderful..."

Looking at the illusory scroll in front of him, he clenched his hand that almost served as fish food.

Su Wang felt that his strength had increased a lot, and even his vision had become much clearer.

After experiencing the changes as a fisherman, Su Wang did not forget the current crisis.

Immediately began to look for ways to deal with the strange fish.

After some exploration, he quickly realized that the scroll in front of him could be controlled with just his thoughts.

Su Wang first took a quick look at the information that had not been expanded.

The [Fish Hold] is blank, but a lot of information appears when the [Fisherman Communication Area] is opened.

"Who brought me to this damn place? Send me back now!"

"If you have the energy to yell upstairs, you might as well figure out how to survive."

"By the way, what fisherman profession did you choose?"

"I chose a speargunner as my fishing tool, but the attack range is too short. Do I have to go into the water to hunt?"

"Don't go in the water casually. I just saw a big dark shadow in the water. Luckily it didn't attack my raft."

"Hey, I chose the fisherman. The fishing gear is a fishing net. The professional skill has a large attack range and also has the additional imprisonment ability."

"I regret it! Don't choose the angler. Although the attack range is long, the strength and endurance are mediocre.
I just tried to hook a fish but my stamina is almost gone and I still can’t catch it. I’m exhausted and lying on the raft feeling like I’m going to die.”

...

Su Wang glanced at the information in the fisherman's communication area and found that these speakers should have come to this world inexplicably like himself.

It is even very likely that they are from the same world as me.

And when he saw them discussing the profession of fisherman, Su Wang paid more attention.

"Fishing gear? A job feature?"

At this point, Su Wang no longer continued to check the remaining information columns, but returned to the fisherman information interface.

In the Occupation and Fishing Gear columns, the words "Unselected" and "Inactive" are displayed.

If you want to deal with the strange fish now, you may have to start by changing your job.
