Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 3 Explosive Protection (Please collect and read)

The strange fish has died and the crisis is temporarily resolved.

Su Wang sat cross-legged on the raft and summoned the scroll again to check the contents that he had not had time to check before, hoping to find a way to restore the durability of the raft.

First, click on the [Fisherman's Trading Area], and the scroll will display content similar to a takeout ordering column.

There is also an item search bar at the top where you can enter information about a certain type of item to filter products.

In the trading area, some goods were already being sold sporadically.

For example:

[Ordinary Fish Skin*8]: Sold for 1 pieces for 2 fish coin.

[Ordinary fish scales*60]: Sold for 1 pieces for 20 fish coin.

...

After searching for a long time, I didn't find any items related to restoring the durability of the vehicle.

Most of the various products are made of materials such as fish scales and fish glue.

Su Wang also noticed that he could also sell the items in the fish hold.

"We can only trade with Fish Coins. It seems Fish Coins also have a function similar to base currency."

The goods currently for sale in the trading area are all ordinary materials or fish, which are not what he urgently needs.

Su Wang didn't plan to use up the only five fish coins he had easily.

He immediately exited the Fisherman's Trading Area and opened the [Fishing Mission] column.

At this time, only a piece of task information is displayed in the taskbar.

[Initial Mission - Vehicle Upgrade]

Requirements: Collect supplies to upgrade the vehicle to a Level 2 vehicle.

Mission rewards: Vehicle emergency repair tool (entry level)*1, Azure Fish Coin*50, Dock pointer (one-time)*1.

...

When Su Wang saw the content of the task reward, he immediately perked up.

"Vehicle emergency repair tool, this should be a tool to restore the durability of the vehicle!"

Although props can only be obtained by completing tasks, it is always better to have a direction than to rush around blindly.

The vehicle information column has already given instructions on how to complete this task. You just need to collect some materials and supplies.

Su Wang then opened the last [Sea Chart] column.

A square map suddenly appeared on the scroll, with a simple small icon in the shape of a ship in the center.

A message also appeared in the corner of the map.

[Information on the sea area where the vehicle is located: slightly polluted sea area, low risk.]

After some exploration, Su Wang also understood another function of the nautical chart.

That is what sets the vehicle's navigation path.

Just plan the route on the nautical chart, and the vehicle will follow the route planned on the nautical chart.

After learning the function of the nautical chart, Su Wang did not set the route at will, but turned off the nautical chart.

Currently, there is only an icon representing your own vehicle on the nautical chart, and no other guidance.

According to the prompts on the initial scroll, you need to find a dock for the vehicle to rest.

There is no clue of the dock at the moment, and setting the route randomly may result in us being further away from the nearest dock.

The previous fishing mission also included the [Dock Pointer] mission reward.

It might be wise to wait until you get this reward before setting your course.

"It seems that everything has to start with completing the fishing mission." Su Wang murmured.

After closing the scroll, Su Wang summoned the fishing rod again and took out a few portions of [Sea Bream Slices].

Upgrading vehicles requires a variety of materials, including fish glue and fish tendons, which can be obtained by decomposing monster fish.

Wood can also be cut out from the belly of the strange fish.

All we have to do now is see if we can catch new underwater creatures and collect the materials needed to upgrade the vehicle.

Besides, I also need to store food.

I didn’t dare eat the contaminated sea bream fillets, so I had to find something edible.

The uncontaminated fish sold in the trading area must be normal fish caught by other people.

The contaminated sea bream fillets are not eaten by the fish themselves, but they can be used as bait.

Su Wang immediately picked up a piece of fish and hung it on the silver hook of the fishing rod.

huh~
As the fishing rod was swung, the silver hook fell into the water with the piece of meat.

"It depends on whether any fish will take the bait."

Su Wang sat cross-legged on the edge of the raft, holding the fishing rod, and waited quietly.

"The information on the sea bream fillet indicates that it has a significant appeal to ordinary fish. I wonder how effective it is?"

Looking at the vast sea, Su Wang murmured to himself to drive away his inner anxiety.

In the short time I just spent checking the scroll information, the stamina I consumed in dealing with the strange fish was restored a few points.

Although it was better than nothing, it also allowed Su Wang to learn that endurance could be gradually restored through rest.

However, the recovery rate is too weak, it takes about 1 minute to recover 1 point, so it basically has no effect.

Based on the previous experience of dealing with strange fish, catching a fish will inevitably consume a lot of stamina.

With the current total endurance value, I estimate that I will run out of endurance after catching only a few fish.

At that time, unless you eat fish to restore your endurance, you can only wait for your endurance to recover slowly.

But this is not a big trouble for Su Wang.

The moment he threw down the fishing rod, Su Wang used his imbalance talent to double his endurance.

The advantage is that after you catch the target, your endurance will not be consumed as long as the target's endurance is lower than yours.

The disadvantage is that it is easier to decouple.

But it's better than running out of stamina and being unable to fish.

...

Time passed by minute by minute.

Under the scorching sun above his head, Su Wang's mouth became increasingly dry.

The fishing rod didn't move for a long time, causing my anxiety to gradually increase.

"Why hasn't there been any movement for so long? Could it be that they need to make a nest again?"

Just as Su Wang was thinking this, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly trembled.

A piece of information then appeared in sight.

[Consumed 0 stamina points, successfully caught a sandfin fish, reduced target stamina points by 5.]

Sandfin

Fish species rarity: Common.

Strength: 2.

Endurance: 55/60. A very common fish species in the azure waters, found in schools.

...

"I caught a fish!" Su Wang was stunned for a moment, then he immediately perked up.

Judging from the information of the fish, this sandfin fish is quite different from the black-scaled snapper.

The strength is only 2 and the endurance is only 60.

But catching a fish is good news after all.

The Sandfin has very low Strength, and can trigger the Angler's passive ability even without using the Unbalanced Talent.

Su Wang immediately adjusted the attribute amplification and doubled the strength attribute to quickly consume the sandfin fish's endurance.

With the attribute reversal, the strength of 20 plus the angler's passive ability caused the sandfin fish's endurance to plummet by 40 points in an instant.

Just two seconds after catching the fish, the sandfin fish's endurance was completely depleted.

A piece of information flashed across Su Wang's eyes.

[Sandfin fish has been caught.]

The fishing rod was suddenly lifted lightly.

A silver-white fish, less than the length of a forearm, was suddenly pulled out of the water and fell onto the raft.

【Bait consumption 1%】

When the sandfin fish fell onto the raft, the hook automatically fell off the sandfin fish.

At the same time, the consumption information of the bait also appeared in Su Wang's sight.

But at this moment, his attention was focused on the silver fish.

Su Wang moved forward and came to the sandfin fish.

With a light clap of his hands, the sandfin fish's only remaining endurance point was instantly cleared.

The fish was immediately dissected.

【Sandfin fish fillet 20g*10 servings.】

Price:
①: Edible, small amount of nutrition, each serving can restore 5 points of endurance.

②: Can be used as bait. When thrown into the water, it has a slight attraction to ordinary fish.

[Ordinary fish skin*2], [Ordinary fish glue*1], [Ordinary fish scale*10].

[Ordinary Fish Maw*1] Value: A shelter given by the world. After opening it, you can obtain an indefinite number of low-level resources.

...

"It's really quite different..."

Su Wang was slightly disappointed when he saw the items that the sandfin fish had decomposed.

Compared with the effect of black-scaled snapper meat, the value of sandfin fish meat is much weaker.

The amount of materials decomposed is also much less, and there is not even any fish tendon.

Fortunately, there was still fish maw, and Su Wang immediately picked up the fish maw and chose to open it.

The fish hold immediately indicated the harvest of wood*1.

"Just a piece of wood? Forget it, it's better than nothing." Su Wang pursed his lips and comforted himself.

Put all the materials on the raft into the fish hold,
Then he took out a water ball wrapped in a transparent film and swallowed it to relieve the thirst caused by the sun.

Immediately afterwards, Su Wang continued to throw the next shot with full confidence.

"It doesn't matter. Small fish and shrimp are also meat."

As the silver hook with the bait fell into the water,

Su Wang was just about to continue sitting cross-legged, waiting for the next fish to appear.

However, before he could sit down, the fishing rod began to vibrate again.

This phenomenon also made Su Wang stunned.

"Caught another fish so soon?"

I had to wait for a long time to catch a fish before, but this time it responded as soon as I cast the line.

The next second, a message appeared in Su Wang's sight.

[Consumed 0 stamina points, successfully caught a sandfin fish, reduced target stamina points by 40.]

Information that the target had been captured soon followed.

It only takes a few seconds from throwing the rod into the water to lifting it up to catch the fish.

Looking at another sandfin fish landing on the raft, Su Wang seemed to realize something.

He immediately ignored the sandfin fish on the raft and turned around to cast a new rod.

Sure enough, just a few seconds after the hook fell into the water, the fishing rod began to vibrate again.

Su Wang also received the information that he had caught a sandfin fish shortly afterwards.

Just then, the third sandfin fish fell onto the raft as the fishing rod rose and fell.

Looking at the two sandfin fish unable to move on the raft, Su Wang's disappointment in catching small and medium-sized fish suddenly disappeared.

The information about sandfin fish shows that it is a species that lives in groups.

Su Wang suddenly had a guess.

"Could it be that there are a bunch of sandfin fish gathering underwater?"

In order to thoroughly verify his guess, Su Wang threw another shot.

A few seconds later, a fourth sandfin fish appeared on the raft, completely confirming the speculation.

This discovery made Su Wang overjoyed.

One sandfin might not bring much, but what if you catch ten? A hundred?
Catching fish of this nature will not consume any stamina at all!

Su Wang couldn't help but hope that the school of sandfin fish underwater would be large enough.

He didn't even deal with the fish on the raft immediately, but hurriedly cast out the hook to prevent the underwater fish from leaving.

Su Wang repeatedly cast the hook and lifted the rod.

The sandfin fish on the raft piled up into a mountain of fish in a short time, and even four portions of the black-scaled snapper meat used as bait were used up.

"Explosion! Explosion!"

The sandfin fish were almost unable to pile up on the raft and were about to occupy the area where he was standing.

Su Wang then reluctantly put away his fishing rod and planned to deal with the catch first.
