Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 5: How can catching a fish become a great feat?

Before Su Wang could react, he saw a tiny silver light in the water rapidly approaching the wooden boat from dark to bright.

In the blink of an eye, it hit the bottom of the boat.

Su Wang immediately received information about the vehicle's durability decreasing.

This silver light is extremely fast.

The silver light hit the bottom of the wooden boat, turned around and created a distance, then hit the wooden boat again like a sharp arrow.

In just two or three seconds, the wooden boat was hit several times.

Every impact of the silver light caused the boat to lose dozens of durability points.

Su Wang was frightened by what he saw.

"Damn it!"

Su Wang understood that this silver light must be the silver-tailed wind fish.

I must have caused it considerable damage, which angered the silver-tailed wind fish.

Therefore, they no longer sought to break free, but chose to attack the canoe.

The speed of the silver-tailed wind fish is ridiculously fast.

It was like a stream of light constantly moving through the water, hitting the boat 2 to 3 times almost every second.

After the vehicle is upgraded,
Although the durability consumed by the strange fish could not be restored, the durability of the wooden boat was not so precarious due to the increase in the durability limit.

But now, the continuous attacks of the silver-tailed wind fish caused the boat's durability to drop by hundreds of points in just a few seconds.

According to the current rate of damage to the durability of wooden boats,

Before he could use up the silver-tailed wind fish's endurance, the wooden boat would be destroyed first!

"I was careless! Special and rare fish are indeed not to be provoked lightly."

Su Wang looked at the boat's durability which kept decreasing and became extremely anxious.

I even found myself being a little too reckless and being overwhelmed by the temptation of the baby.

If the vehicle had not been upgraded to increase its durability, the previous raft would have been destroyed and everyone on board would have died.

But now that the accident has happened, we must find a solution quickly.

Su Wang hurriedly opened the fish hold and looked for props.

Just after completing the vehicle upgrade task, I received a [Vehicle Emergency Repair Tool (Entry Level)].

Now we can only wait and see if this tool can cope with the current crisis.

Soon, Su Wang found this prop in the fish hold.

A printed small wrench pattern, the texture is like a jelly ball.

【Vehicle Emergency Repair Tool (Entry Level)】

Function: After being crushed and consumed, the vehicle's durability will be restored by 1000 points, and the additional durability will be invalidated.

...

"Restore 1000 durability points!"

As expected, this item can indeed restore the durability of the vehicle.

It also just happens to deal with the durability limit of the vehicle after the upgrade.

Su Wang hurriedly took out the props and quickly checked the current situation.

The bad news is that the wooden boat only has nearly half of its durability left after being attacked by the silver-tailed wind fish.

Given the attack frequency of the Silvertail Windfish, this durability can only last for about 5 seconds at most.

The good news is that the fishhook has been draining the silvertail windfish's stamina from beginning to end.

The Silvertail Wind Fish's endurance value is now less than one thousand points.

"There's hope!" Su Wang was overjoyed.

As long as you use the repair tools when the vehicle has only about 100 points left, the restored durability will be enough to support it until the Silver Tail Wind Fish's endurance is exhausted first.

In terms of value, this maintenance tool is worth as much as a second life.

But now that they were facing the crisis of the ship being destroyed and people dying, Su Wang no longer cared about feeling sad.

While stuffing sandfin fish meat into his mouth to maintain his own durability, he kept an eye on the boat's durability decreasing.

1 second…

2 second…

...

The durability of the wooden boat continued to decline under the attack of the silver-tailed wind fish.

Seeing that the durability of the wooden boat just dropped to 100, Su Wang quickly crushed the repair prop in his hand.

The next second, the entire wooden boat suddenly glowed with a fluorescent green light.

The durability value, which had almost fallen below the bottom line, quickly soared back to its full value in the blink of an eye.

However, soon under the attack of the silver-tailed wind fish, the durability of the wooden boat began to drop one after another.

At this moment, Su Wang had already breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself with a slight sigh.

"What a pity! I don't know if I can get this kind of life-saving item again in the future."

"It depends on whether this rare fish can make up for the cost this time."

At this moment, the silver-tailed wind fish was still fighting back in its dying state, but Su Wang was no longer nervous.

The boat's durability is now enough to last until the silver-tailed wind fish's endurance is exhausted, with some still left.

After a few seconds, the boat's durability fell below 500 again.

The silver-tailed wind fish's endurance is almost exhausted.

Just after Su Wang swallowed the last bite of fish fillet in his mouth, the long-awaited message prompt arrived as expected.

【Silvertail Windfish Caught】

As the fishing rod rises and falls,

A streak of silver light, less than the length of a palm, was brought out of the water and fell directly onto the deck of the boat.

At the same time, Su Wang suddenly felt a burning sensation on the scales on the back of his left hand, but it quickly disappeared.

Su Wang's attention was now focused on the silver fish on the deck.

Although it felt a little strange, I didn't think too much about it.

When he came to the silver-tailed wind fish, Su Wang couldn't help but sigh at the beauty and magic of the fish in front of him.

There are three silver-white tail fins like bird feathers, and a straight blue crystal scale on both sides of the fish's back.

The most amazing thing was that Su Wang could feel whirlwinds forming around the silver-tailed wind fish.

Su Wang could even feel the breeze on his face as he squatted down. Compared to the contaminated black-scaled snapper he encountered at first, the two were completely different in terms of appearance.

So the next second, Su Wang raised his knife and took away the last bit of the silver-tailed wind fish's endurance.

"It's quite beautiful, but I wonder if the meat will taste as good as it does."

I am a pragmatic man.

Can beauty be used to make a living?
No, but fish can.

"Hiccup~"

Thinking of this, Su Wang couldn't help but burp.

In order to catch this fish, he stuffed dozens of sandfin fillets into his stomach.

If this silver-tailed wind fish had a little more endurance, I guess I wouldn't be able to eat the sandfin fillets and my endurance would run out.

"I wonder if there are any big eaters among the other fishermen. They have an advantage in restoring stamina."

Seeing the decomposition information appear, Su Wang chose decomposition with full anticipation.

[Rare silvertail fish fillet 10g*5 servings.]

Price:
①: Edible, very nutritious. Each serving can immediately restore 100 points of endurance, increase strength by 5 points, and restore 10 points of endurance per second for 1 minute.

②: Can be used as bait. When thrown into the water, it has a strong attraction to ordinary and black iron fish. There is a certain probability of attracting special rare fish. Some sea areas may attract some dangerous existence.

[Wind Tail Wings*3]: A special rare material that can be added when upgrading a vehicle to give it some special abilities.

[Treasure Fish Maw*1] Value: Contains a precious and special gift from the world.

...

After the silver-tailed wind fish decomposed, only a few items appeared.

But each one seems to be of great value.

The fish alone is extraordinary.

A small portion of silvertail wind fish fillet can not only instantly restore 100 points of endurance,
It also increases Strength by 5 points and continuously restores 600 points of Stamina over the next minute.

Compared to the fact that I only recovered a little over 300 points of stamina after eating a belly full of sandfin fish,
One portion of this silvertail windfish fillet is equivalent to hundreds of sandfin fish fillets.

"nice one!"

Su Wang hurriedly put the five portions of silvertail wind fish fillets into the fish hold for safekeeping.

This is a precious item that can be used as a trump card at certain moments.

Next are three fish tail fins.

"Can you give the vehicle some special abilities?"

I have just upgraded my vehicle, and the supplies needed for the next upgrade are far from enough.

But the importance of vehicles is self-evident, and props that can give vehicles special abilities are absolutely invaluable.

Su Wang also happily put it into the fish hold, waiting to use it next time the vehicle meets the upgrade requirements.

Finally, it’s the fish maw that’s the big show.

Su Wang rubbed his palms, carefully picked up the fish maw and opened it.

[The fish treasure: Blessing of the Gale is stored in the fish hold.]

"Fish treasure?"

Although he didn't look closely at the vehicle when it was upgraded before, Su Wang still saw some changes in the vehicle with a quick glance.

For example, there are more items that can be equipped with fish souls and fish treasures.

The fish soul had previously obtained one from the strange fish, and now it has obtained the fish treasure from the silver-tailed wind fish.

Now that he has some free time, Su Wang has to study it carefully.

Just as Su Wang was about to check the fish treasures in the fish tank, he suddenly noticed a detail that he had not noticed before.

The [Fishing Mission] column on the scroll was faintly glowing.

"what?"

Out of curiosity, Su Wangxian shifted his attention to the [Fishing Task] column, wanting to see what the reason was.

Open the fishing task bar, and a message appears on the scroll.

You have accomplished a feat worth claiming. Please name your vehicle.

"????"

Su Wang was suddenly confused.

"I accomplished a feat?"

The naming of the vehicles that followed was not difficult to understand. Although Su Wang had some doubts in his heart, he still chose to name them.

"Let's call it... the Heart of Death."

Together, it's exactly the second character of my name.

Just after the naming was completed, Su Wang suddenly felt a burning sensation on the scales on the back of his hand again.

The information in the [Fishing Mission] column has also changed.

New information appears on the scroll.

Captain of the Heartless has achieved a historic feat, becoming the first Black Iron Fisherman to catch a common-level special rare fish. This is worthy of celebration by all fishermen, and I hereby award him one Azure Fish Coin—unclaimed.

You have achieved a great feat as a fisherman, gaining 100 points of fisherman reputation. (Current fisherman reputation on the Heartless: 100, local reputation: 0)

...

After mentally selecting the "Unclaimed" message, the message of a Blue Fish Coin being deposited into the fish hold followed.

Su Wang's expression instantly became embarrassed.

"How did catching a fish become a historical feat? Couldn't all fishermen get this message?"

...

Right now,

Fishermen scattered across the blue world all felt a burning sensation on the scales on the back of their hands.

Some fishermen who were in an idle state had already noticed the abnormality in the [Fishing Task] column.

All fishermen harvested a blue fish coin out of thin air.

An Azure Fish Coin was not a rare item, and many fishermen who caught fish had obtained one from their catch.

But the Blue Fish Coin is not the most important thing. What attracted the attention of many fishermen was the information contained in this notice.
