Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 4 Silver Tail Wind Fish
When looking at the piles of sandfin fish on the raft, Su Wang noticed that many of the fish were already dead and decomposing.

This shows that the last bit of endurance of these fish will be lost as they leave the water.

This saves me some effort.

Su Wang immediately decomposed these decomposable sandfin fish.

Fish meat and fish ingredients were put into the fish hold without even being looked at.

The fish maws were also picked up and opened one by one.

【Store wood*1 in the fish hold.】

...

[Put 50ml of pure water in the fish tank.]

...

【Store steel plate*1 in the fish hold.】

...

One message after another kept flashing across his sight, and Su Wang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth even more.

By the time the last sandfin fish on the raft was dealt with, Su Wang's mouth was almost stiff from smiling.

Open the fish hold and take a look.
The accumulated wood alone reached 135 units, the purified water reached 5.7L, the steel plates also reached 75 units, and there were 85 more Azure Fish Coins.

There are 4000 portions of sandfin fish meat, and various other fish materials are also abundant.

Not only does it meet the needs of the vehicle's initial upgrade, but there's also a lot left over.

"Now the vehicle mission is resolved, and we don't have to worry about food and water for a while."

It is impossible not to feel anxious when suddenly arriving in an unknown world.

The joy brought by abundant resources, food and water greatly alleviated Su Wang's inner anxiety.

At least with enough food and water, it is enough to ensure your survival on the sea for a short period of time.

Even these surplus materials and fish meat can be sold in exchange for fish coins.

Although the fish coins are not useful at the moment, Su Wang can vaguely sense their importance.

After dealing with the catch on the raft, Su Wang turned around and took out the fishing rod again, put on the bait and planned to continue fishing.

Even the vehicles that already had the required upgrade resources were not upgraded.

The fish are so good now.
It would be a waste of opportunity not to take this opportunity to accumulate more resources.

"It took so long to process the catch, I wonder if the fish underwater have escaped."

Su Wang put on another bait with a little trepidation and threw the hook into the water.

But after the hook fell into the water for a while, there was no movement on the fishing rod.

Su Wang continued to wait for a while, but still no fish appeared.

“The fish have left.”

Shaking his head with a hint of regret, Su Wang planned to pick up the fishing rod and deal with the vehicle upgrade first.

But at this moment, the fishing rod suddenly trembled slightly.

"what…"

Su Wang quickly stopped lifting the rod and felt it carefully.

1 second…

2 second…

Until 5 seconds passed, the fishing rod did not respond at all.

Su Wangdu began to doubt himself.

"Was that just an illusion?"

At this moment, the fishing rod began to tremble slightly again.

And this time the trembling did not stop, but continued to tremble.

Su Wang couldn't help but feel confused.

"Caught a fish? Why is there no notification?"

In the past, when the fishing rod vibrated, a sign that a fish was on the hook would soon appear.

But this time the fishing rod shook for a long time, but no prompt appeared.

Su Wang continued to wait for a while without giving up, but he still didn't receive any notification that he had caught a fish until the fishing rod stopped shaking.

Seeing that the fishing rod had been silent for a long time, Su Wang could only pick up the fishing rod to see what was going on.

As the fishhook broke out of the water, Su Wang's expression was slightly stunned.

"Where's the bait? Where's my big bait?"

There was nothing on the silver hook that was originally holding the bait.

He took out a piece of brand new black-scaled snapper meat and hung it on the fishhook.

Previously, I only consumed one portion of sea bream meat when I caught a hundred sandfin fish. How come the sea bream meat disappeared when I didn’t catch anything this time?
An information prompt appeared immediately afterwards, which immediately answered Su Wang’s doubts.

[Bait consumed 100%, failed to hook the target.]

"I didn't manage to hook the target... but that means there's a fish!"

Thinking further, perhaps this fish is very likely not an ordinary fish!
After thinking for a moment, Su Wang took out another piece of black sea bream meat and hung it on the fishhook.

I want to see what kind of fish is so difficult to catch.

According to the information of black sea bream meat,
There is a small chance of attracting black iron-level fish, and even an extremely small chance of attracting special rare fish.

There's no guarantee that this fish is one of these two species.

The fishhook with the sea bream meat fell into the water. Su Wang held his breath and paid close attention to the movement of the fishing rod.

This time, as soon as he heard movement on the fishing rod, he immediately lifted it.

10 second…

20 second…

Just after 30 seconds of the hook being cast into the water, the motionless fishing rod began to vibrate again.

Su Wang suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and the hook with bait immediately broke through the water.

But this time, he got the information he wanted.

A message flashed across Su Wang's sight when he raised the lever.

[Consumes 10 points of stamina. Failed to catch the Silvertail Windfish. Target stamina reduced by 10 points.]

【Silvertail Windfish】

Fish species rarity: Ordinary-level special rare fish.

Strength: 32.

Endurance: 3170/3180.

Rare fish rarely seen in the blue sea contain special and precious gifts from the world.

...

"Special rare fish!" The moment Su Wang saw the message, he didn't know whether to be surprised or happy.

I actually encountered a special rare fish that has an extremely low probability of being attracted!
But the problem is that this fish actually has a strength of 32 and an endurance of over .

Far beyond my current attributes.

The 32 points of strength also explains why I couldn't catch the target.

When fishing, most of the fishing line is already submerged in water, and the bait is hung on the hook at the end of the fishing line.

Given the strength of the silvertail wind fish, it is likely that it can easily break free from the hook when the rod is lifted.

Su Wang immediately noticed the special features of the information about this special fish.

A special and precious gift from the world!

It was clearly telling him that there was a treasure in the fish's belly.

It would be fine if I hadn't encountered it, but I have already encountered it.

If he let the fish escape, Su Wang would slap himself in his dreams at night.

"Pump the water! We must pump the water!"

In excitement, Su Wang shouted out subconsciously.

Then he reacted immediately.

I am now in the boundless ocean, and I can't pull out any water.

Now I immediately started thinking about how to catch this special and rare fish.

"The key lies in strength!" Su Wang thought immediately.

The key reason for not being able to catch silvertail windfish is that you don’t have enough strength to hook the target.

Since he had the talent of imbalance, as long as his strength could reach 17 points, it would be enough to hook this silver-tailed wind fish.

The attributes of the fisherman come from the blessing of the vehicle, so Su Wang immediately thought of upgrading the vehicle.

Su Wang was afraid that the silver-tailed wind fish would slip away, so he hurriedly summoned a scroll to upgrade the vehicle.

[Consume wood*100, ordinary fish skin*50, ordinary fish glue*50, ordinary fish tendon*20, vehicle upgrade in progress.]

With the disappearance of resources in the fish tank,

The raft made of logs under Su Wang's feet quickly solidified into an integral hatch cover.

Thick shell plates rise up around the cover plate, connecting end to end to form a single-pointed spindle-shaped structure.

A 3-meter-wide wooden house is also formed in the middle of the cover.

It only took less than 1 minute.
The simple raft evolved into a wooden boat that was nearly 8 meters long and nearly 5 meters wide at its widest point.

[Soul Vehicle upgrade completed, Fisherman advanced to Black Iron Fisherman, Stamina recovery rate increased to 5 points per minute.]

[Soul Vehicle Information: Wooden Boat.]

Vehicle attributes:
Speed: 1 knots.

Strength—10 points.

Stamina—10 points.

Vehicle durability: 876/1000.

Next level vehicle: Steel Scale Sailboat, upgrade requires wood*1000, black iron fish skin*200, black iron fish glue*100, black iron fish tendon*100, fish scale steel*500.

The number of fish souls that can be equipped: 3, the number of fish treasures that can be equipped: 1.

[Fishing Mission - Vehicle Upgrade Completed, Received Vehicle Emergency Repair Tool (Entry-Level)*1, Azure Fish Coin*50, Dock Pointer (One-time Use)*1.]

...

After the vehicle upgrade was completed, Su Wang also felt that his strength had increased a lot, and the fatigue in his body was swept away.

But at the moment, he didn't have time to carefully observe the changes after the vehicle was upgraded.

The important thing is to quickly cast the hook and catch the rare silver-tailed wind fish underwater.

After the vehicle was upgraded and the attributes of the angler profession were enhanced, Su Wang's strength attribute had now reached 20 points.

As long as it is blessed with the imbalance talent, it is enough to surpass the strength of the silver-tailed wind fish.

There happened to be some bait still on the hook.

As the fishhook fell into the water, Su Wang directly used his talent to increase his strength by 2 times.

With a strength value of up to 40, just waiting for this rare silver-tailed wind fish to bite the hook.

Because he used his imbalance talent to increase his strength, Su Wang's endurance was less than 100 at this time.

For this purpose, Su Wang specially took out dozens of [Sandfin Fish Slices] from the fish tank to use as a consumption to restore his endurance.

"Don't run away!"

Su Wang watched the movements of the fishing rod intently, hoping that the silver-tailed wind fish had not left.

Fortunately, the silver-tailed wind fish underwater did not seem to be full.

Shortly after the bait fell into the water, the fishing rod suddenly trembled.

This time,
With the blessing of 40 points of strength attribute, Su Wang finally got information feedback.

[Consume 10 points of stamina, successfully catch a silvertail windfish, and reduce the target stamina by 80 points.]

"YES!" Su Wang couldn't help but exclaimed the moment he saw the message appear.

Suddenly, I felt a huge pulling sensation on the fishing rod I was holding.

He quickly steadied himself and picked up the sandfin fillet prepared on the side and stuffed it into his mouth.

The moment the fish fillet entered his mouth, the unique taste made Su Wang's eyes light up slightly.

There are no fish bones or fishy smell, but it is extremely smooth and tender with a slight sweetness.

"It's quite delicious."

Without having time to savor it, Su Wang observed that his endurance value immediately recovered by 5 points after swallowing the fish.

He immediately picked up several of them and stuffed them into his mouth.

If you consume 10 points of your stamina per second, you can use up 80 points of the Silvertail Wind Fish's stamina.

According to the endurance value of the silver-tailed wind fish, it will consume at least 400 points of endurance.

In order to ensure that his endurance value was always within a safe range, Su Wang picked up the sandfin fish fillets and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

The prompt that the silver-tailed wind fish's endurance value is decreasing keeps flashing in the sight.

40 points of strength attribute plus double damage.

In less than half a minute, the silver-tailed wind fish's endurance dropped by nearly half.

Su Wang's mouth was filled with sandfin fish fillets that he had not yet swallowed.

So far, things seem to be under control.

But just when Su Wang thought that the Silver-tailed Wind Fish would gradually be defeated in this tug-of-war.

The strong pulling feeling transmitted by the fishing rod suddenly loosened.
