Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 6: Heart Covered with Darkness (Please Read and Collect)

Within minutes of the information announcement appearing, the amount of information in the fishermen's communication area suddenly increased dramatically.

"I'm not very talented. My family has been fishermen for three generations, and I'm still only an entry-level fisherman. What level is a Black Iron fisherman?"

"Is the Captain of the Lost Heart here? Come out and show your face and make your acquaintance."

"The information shows you're the Captain of the Dead Heart. How can you even name a vehicle?"

"I want to know how to find special rare fish. Why are all the ones I catch common fish?"

"Thank you for the fish coins sent by Wangxin. I hope you will work harder and create more glories."

"Have you seen this, Boss Wangxin? Are you selling the special rare fish items? The price is negotiable."

...

In an instant, there were various different opinions in the fishermen's exchange area.

Some were confused, some were playful and joking, and some wanted to make friends.

Some people even want to take advantage of the items produced by rare fish.

Long after receiving the fish coins, Su Wang had already opened the fisherman communication area.

One is to find out whether all fishermen can receive this message.

The surge in information in the communication area undoubtedly verified his guess.

Su Wang also had a panoramic view of all the information in the communication area.

If we remain silent, this craze may soon die down.

You won't lose anything.

However, after thinking for a moment, Su Wang decided to send out a few messages.

Right now, everyone should be a newcomer to this world, including myself.

As the saying goes, at home, rely on your parents; when you go out, rely on your friends.

These unfamiliar fishermen might meet each other in the future.

There is a possibility of friends or collaborators emerging, but there is also a possibility of friction arising and developing into rivalries.

It's not a bad thing to reveal some information without endangering yourself.

In addition, if you show yourself a little bit, you may get unexpected gains.

Soon, several messages appeared in the fishermen's communication area.

Heart of Death: "Upgrading the vehicle to a higher level will automatically turn it into a Dark Iron Fisherman."

Heart of Death: "I only encountered the special rare fish by chance, but good bait has a chance to attract special rare fish. I suggest you at least become a Black Iron fisherman before considering catching them."

Heart of Death: "I'm not considering selling the rare fish I've produced yet."

...

Su Wang selected some of the most discussed topics among other fishermen and responded to them.

What he didn't expect was that his message would have the prefix [亡心号].

The other fishermen's speeches only contained information content without any distinguishing prefixes.

So that these messages of mine stand out particularly.

This extra prefix information also attracted the attention of many fishermen who were checking the information in the fishermen's exchange area.

"The boss of the Heartless is here, and he even has a prefix logo. I'm so envious!"

"Oh dear~ I'll do it too if I get a chance."

"Thanks for clearing up my confusion. I don't know where I am right now. If we ever meet again, I will definitely thank you in person."

Heart of Destruction: "You're welcome. We're in an unknown world right now, so this little bit of information is nothing."

...

The original reason for the heated discussion was just a few special features in the announcement information.

After Su Wang explained these special features, the fishermen's curiosity also dissipated.

The content of conversation in the fishermen's exchange area gradually returned to normal.

Just when Su Wang was about to close the fishermen's exchange area and continue with his unfinished business.

The appearance of a message suddenly made him stop.

"By the way! Did you encounter any other ships? I saw other ships earlier!"

The appearance of this information immediately caught Su Wang's attention.

Soon, other fishermen responded to the message.

"Other ships? It's just the sea here, not even a reef in sight."

"Me too. The scroll said to look for the docks, but I can't even find a pier."

"Did you see the other boats? Did you call for help?"

At this moment, the person who asked the first question should make additional remarks.

"No, I'm still on my raft. The ship I saw was too far away from where I was."

"And I didn't call for help. The boat looked so strange, I was glad it wasn't heading towards me."

As soon as this additional statement came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many fishermen in the exchange area.

Su Wang was also completely attracted by the words of this strange fisherman.

Fortunately, the strange fisherman did not keep us in suspense but explained quickly.

"The ship I saw must be very large, and it can be seen from a long distance away."

"The most important thing is that the ship looks alive. There are many tentacle-like things extending from the hull to drive it. The whole hull looks very strange."

"I felt that there might be something wrong with the boat, so I just lay on the raft and waited for it to slowly sail out of sight."

This statement once again sparked heated discussion.

"Is there such a thing? Aren't there some kind of monsters on that ship?"

"We've come to another world, anything is possible, so it's better to be careful."

"For now, we should hurry up and get the materials to upgrade our vehicles. The scroll warned us that there would be danger at night, and I don't think it will be long before dark."

"How do I get the materials? My stamina isn't enough. The little fish I caught can't keep up with the rate of consumption."

...

The topic that attracted Su Wang's attention gradually died down.

Close the communication area.
While Su Wang opened the fish hold to check the fish treasures that he had not checked before, he began to think in his heart.

"A huge, strange ship...it seems this world at least has other species of life." "I just don't know if they're friendly, evil, or both."

Considering that when I just obtained the reputation information, it showed that the Deathheart only had 100 reputation among the fishermen.

The back shows that there is also a local reputation.

This local reputation indirectly reflects that there are native life groups in this world.

As for where these creatures were, Su Wang had some guesses in his mind.

pier!

According to the scroll, this is a world entirely of ocean.

Then the docks that provide a place for vehicles to dock and rest are the most likely places for native creatures to exist.

The information about the strange fisherman in the communication area made Su Wang feel vaguely uneasy.

"If these native creatures harbor evil forces, then are the docks also considered safe and dangerous?"

This feeling of uneasiness made Su Wang's spirit, which had been relaxed due to the sufficient food and water supply, tense again.

"Don't think too much, just deal with the things at hand first."

Su Wang shook his head and temporarily suppressed the gloom in his heart.

Focus your attention on the fish in front of you.

There are still many problems that need to be solved at the moment, and it is important to solve the problems at hand.

In the fish hold, Su Wang quickly found the fish treasure.

A fist-sized fish sculpture that looks lifelike.

The carving is of a silver-tailed wind fish.

[Fish Treasure: Blessing of the Gale]

Quality: Ordinary fish treasure.

Function: Can be installed on a vehicle to provide the vehicle with the vehicle skill - Blessing of the Gale;
Consume 20 Azure Fish Coins to activate the Fish Treasure, forming a gale barrier on the surface of the vehicle, providing the vehicle with a durability shield of 1000 + 20% of the vehicle's upper limit of durability.

The shield will dissipate automatically after its durability is exhausted or lasts for 6 hours. It will take 6 hours for the fish treasure energy to accumulate to activate it again.

When the fish treasure is equipped on a vehicle, the fisherman gains the ability to adapt to the profession.

...

"Worth it! Absolutely worth it! It's worth using the repair tools."

Su Wang was very excited when he saw Yu Bao’s information.

Repair tools can only restore 1000 points of durability to the vehicle, and any points exceeding the durability will be wasted.

And it's a disposable prop.

At this point, this fish treasure is little more than a reusable repair tool.

The minimum shield activated by Yubao is 1000 points, and it will even increase according to the durability of the vehicle itself.

The downside is that the activated shield can only last for 6 hours, but this does not in any way diminish the practicality of this skill.

Not to mention that equipping the fish treasure seems to bring certain abilities to the fisherman himself.

It just so happened that the vehicle could be equipped with a fish treasure, so Su Wang immediately chose to equip it.

[The vehicle has been equipped with the Fish Treasure: Blessing of the Gale.]

[The Fisherman gains the adaptive ability - Suffocating Wind.]

The first use consumes 20% of your endurance limit.

Causes the fished target to fall into a severe suffocation state for 10 seconds, during which any stamina loss consumed or incurred increases by 100%.

When used on the same target multiple times in a row, the endurance consumed by the player will be doubled. If the target falls into a continuous suffocation state, the endurance loss of the target will increase by 100%.

...

The statue of the silver-tailed wind fish is located at the bow of the wooden boat, blending in naturally with the boat.

However, at this moment, Su Wang was amazed at the new abilities that Yu Bao brought to him.

“Excellent value for money!”

If I had this ability before, I could even easily deal with the silver-tailed wind fish.

After assembling the fish treasure, Su Wang did not leave the fish hold.

He did not forget that after the vehicle is upgraded, in addition to fish treasures, it can also be equipped with fish souls.

“I didn’t expect it to be useful so soon.”

Su Wang immediately found the black-scaled snapper soul that had been stored in the fish hold and chose to assemble it as well.

[The vehicle has been equipped with a common fish soul: Black Scale Snapper.]

Black Scale Snapper Murloc Guards can be hatched, consuming 5 Azure Fish Coins per each. The Fish Soul can maintain a maximum number of guards: 10.

...

Fish Soul was assembled successfully.

Su Wangdun suddenly realized that an openable door engraved with a black-scaled sea bream pattern gradually appeared on the outer shell of one side of the wooden boat.

It seems that this hatch will open as long as you choose to hatch the Murloc Guard.

Currently, the hatch is closed because the Murloc Guards have not yet hatched.

"It takes fish coins to hatch the Black Snapper Merman Guard, and it also takes fish coins to activate the fish treasure. It turns out that fish coins are very important."

Su Wang glanced at the inventory of blue fish coins displayed in the fish tank, 141 pieces.

Just to reach the maximum number of guards that the Fish Soul can maintain will consume 50 pieces.

The remaining fish coins are barely enough to activate the fish treasure skills 4 times.

"Looks like I need to save up more fish coins to be prepared for any eventuality."

As for how to get more fish coins, Su Wang already had a rough draft in his mind.

Now let’s take a look at the black-scaled snapper guards hatched from the fish soul.

Su Wang chose to consume 5 blue fish coins and planned to hatch one first to see the effect.

As the stock of fish coins suddenly dropped by 5 pieces, the black-scaled snapper pattern flickered.

The next second, the hatch suddenly opened.
