Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 7: Sensational Again
It has a hunched back, is about 1.2 meters tall, and is humanoid.

A creature covered in pitch-black scales, with webbed limbs and holding a short-handled harpoon, crawled out of the hatch.

With a splash, it fell into the water.

Looking at the hatched murloc guard, Su Wang was slightly dissatisfied.

"Fish head and human body? Too bad it's not a human head and fish body."

The hatched black-scaled snapper guard was still far from what he had imagined.

The fishman he had in mind was not the one with a huge fish head, nor was he the one with a pair of lifeless fish eyes.

However, when Su Wang saw the information about the black-scaled snapper guard, he was not too disappointed.

【Black Scaled Snapper Guard】

Class: Ordinary amphibious murloc.

Strength: 14.

Stamina: 480.

Introduction: A product derived from the fish soul, it only has basic combat awareness. It will dissolve on its own after its endurance is exhausted. It can move and protect within 50 meters around the vehicle.

...

The strength and endurance values ​​are not outstanding, but they are acceptable.

At least if we encounter a strange fish again, one black-scaled snapper guard will be enough to deal with it.

And after hatching,

Su Wang could sense that these fishman guards did not need to eat.

Normally, it can wander around the vehicle to provide danger warning, or it can be stored in the hatch and summoned at any time.

They are like oxen and horses who work hard and never complain.

Since they are just cattle and horses, Su Wang can't expect too much from them.

When I sleep at night, I finally have a way to protect my vehicle.

The Black Scaled Snapper Guard can survive as long as its stamina is not depleted.

Su Wang immediately spent another 45 fish coins to hatch the remaining 9 fishmen.

After a while, 10 fishmen surrounded the wooden boat.

As Su Wang thought about it, 10 fishmen climbed onto the wooden boat with their sticky flippers.

Being a product of the vehicle itself, the Murloc Guards seemed unhindered by the invisible barrier.

Then, the 10 fishman guards jumped into the water one after another under Su Wang's command.

After a rough test of the control over the fishman guard, Su Wang stopped paying attention to it.

Instead, let these fishman guards stay in the water to protect the safety of the vehicle.

...

Many changes have occurred after the vehicle upgrade, and Su Wang still needs to check it carefully now.

After being lifted onto the boat, a small wooden house appeared in the middle of the vehicle deck.

After being exposed to the sun for so long, Su Wang already felt slightly uncomfortable.

The appearance of the wooden house now serves as a cool and resting place.

There is also a suitable area for sleeping at night.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the wooden house, the scene inside was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The cabin was not empty.

On one side of the cabin there is a wooden bed covered with a leather mat, and on the other side there is a facility with a black display screen embedded in it.

Driven by curiosity, Su Wang came to the table.

Information about the facility in front of him suddenly flashed across his vision.

【Operation console】

Function: Consume Azure Fish Coins to smelt and synthesize materials in the fish hold.

...

As Su Wang thought about it, the black display screen suddenly lit up.

Various information is displayed on the screen.

【Currently smeltable synthetic materials】

Black Iron Fish Skin: Consumes 10 ordinary fish skins and 1 Azure Fish Coin.

Black Iron Fish Maw: Consumes 5 ordinary fish maws and 1 Azure Fish Coin.

Black Iron Fish Sinew: Consumes 5 ordinary fish tendons and 1 Azure Fish Coin.

Fish scale steel: consumes ordinary fish scales*10, steel plate*1, blue fish coin*1.

Emergency repair tools (entry level): Consumes 1 backtracking stone, 1000 wood, 100 steel plates, and 200 azure fish coins.

...

"It turns out there's a way to obtain some materials for subsequent vehicle upgrades."

Seeing the information displayed on the screen, Su Wang suddenly understood.

Even extremely useful emergency repair tools can be synthesized through the facilities in front of us.

It just requires a lot of materials, fish coins, and something called a backtracking stone.

It should be impossible to synthesize it in a short time.

However, other synthesis projects answered Su Wang's doubts.

When you see the subsequent upgrade materials for the vehicle,

Su Wangben thought that the ordinary fish materials left in the fish tank were useless.

Those black iron grade fish materials may have to be obtained from black iron grade fish.

But since ordinary materials can be smelted into higher-level materials.

Then the large amount of ordinary fish materials in stock are not without value.

Even the fish scale steel, which had been previously unknown, now has a way to be produced.

"Synthetic materials also require a large amount of fish coins, and the demand for fish coins is even greater now." Su Wang pondered.

The huge shortage of fish coins also made him give up the idea of ​​synthesizing vehicle upgrade materials immediately.

He sat down on the wooden bed nearby, summoned the scroll and started earning fish coins.

When closing the fishermen's exchange area earlier, Su Wang noticed a situation mentioned by a fisherman.

That means the endurance is not enough.

As a fisherman, I'm not so bad. Catching fish with low stamina saves me from using my own stamina. Plus, using my professional skills also consumes the least stamina.

The other two fishing professions are not like this. Whether it is a fisherman or a harpooner, as long as they use their professional skills, they will consume stamina.

In addition, the stamina consumed by using professional skills is far greater than that of the angler profession.

However, the unremarkable characteristics of the angler profession may cause most fishermen not to choose the angler profession.

Instead, they chose the professions of fisherman and speargunner, each with its own characteristics.

Under normal circumstances, the current situation of other fishermen has little to do with Su Wang.

But after the experience with the sandfin fish school,
What other fishermen lack the most, he actually has the most.

There are more than 3900 portions of sandfin fish meat. I don’t know how long it will take me to finish them all by myself.

In addition, he had previously swallowed a large amount of sandfin fish meat, and his stomach was now full.

I didn't want to eat any more in a short period of time.

Next time you go fishing, there will be new fish caught.

The sandfin fish meat in your hands will be difficult to digest by yourself.

Rather than letting these sandfin fish meat accumulate uselessly in your hands, it is better to exchange them for the urgently needed Azure Fish Coins.

Thinking of this, Su Wang immediately opened the [Fisherman's Trading Area].

I took a quick look at the items currently for sale in the trading area.

As expected, the vast majority of them are various fish materials, and fish meat and other products for sale are extremely rare.

Even when checking out products,

Su Wang saw that a fish product was sold out in seconds after it was put on sale.

This also verified that Su Wang's inference was completely correct.

"I kept more than 200 copies for my own use and sold the rest."

Su Wang decided to sell all the remaining 3700 sandfin fish fillets.

As for the price, Su Wang also saw the selling price of the fish that was previously snapped up.

Green-shell shrimp meat can restore 10 stamina points per portion, and the selling price is two portions for 1 fish coin.

Converted into sandfin fish fillets, it would take 4 servings to equal 2 servings of green-shell shrimp.

With fish so scarce right now, it should be possible to sell it at a premium.

But considering that a large amount of sandfin fish fillet needs to be swallowed to restore a certain amount of endurance, Su Wang, who still has a conscience, does not plan to sell it too expensively.

It is sold at the price of 1 pieces for 4 fish coin.

Soon, 3700 pieces of sandfin fish fillets disappeared from Su Wang's fish tank.

Instead, a product information with a huge inventory appeared in the [Fisherman's Trading Area].

What surprised Su Wang a little was that there were some extra advantages to selling the goods himself.

[Currently, the fisherman's reputation is 100, ranking first among all fishermen. The goods he sells are displayed first in the trading area.]

"Is reputation really useful for this?"

There are many commodities in the trading area at present.

The products you put up for sale can appear in the first place, which undoubtedly increases their exposure.

As long as the price is not outrageous, it increases the probability of being purchased.

Su Wang was not worried about not being able to sell the fish, but he also didn't mind having this little advantage.

I don’t know if it’s because of the name of the ship, but even the fish and meat products I sell are prefixed with “Wangxinhao”.

"It seems that I can't make a fortune quietly. I just hope I don't get into trouble."

Su Wang looked helplessly at the new sales orders appearing in the trading area, waiting for a response.

...

In a certain sea area, a dark-skinned young man was lying on a raft.

"It only takes 1 minute to restore 1 point of stamina. How long will it take?"

"There are too few fish for sale in the trading area." Chen Xiaoan murmured helplessly.

His eyes kept scanning the information on the scroll.

Born into a fish farming family, Chen Xiaoan has been an expert at catching fish since he was a child.

However, a good cook cannot cook without rice, and if you don’t have enough endurance, you won’t be able to display your skills.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoan suddenly straightened up, his eyes widening.

"The Heart of Death? Selling so much fish at once?"

"It seems the guy who triggered the announcement is truly extraordinary!"

Fishermen were already rushing to buy the fish.

Chen Xiaoan didn't care to be surprised.
He immediately took out all the 16 fish coins he had obtained from processing the fish to buy fish meat.

He has no use for fish coins at the moment.

Fish meat can be used as a stamina recovery item, and can also be used as food and bait to attract fish.

It's obviously more useful to him now.

...

There are many fishermen who have the same reaction as Chen Xiaoan and are also suffering from insufficient endurance.

Most of the fish coins they have are obtained by decomposing fish.

If you want to catch fish, you need endurance.

Seeing a huge amount of fish and meat sales order suddenly appear in the trading area, everyone fell into ecstasy.

They all took out the fish coins they had and rushed to buy them.

Having fish meat can speed up the recovery of endurance and also bring more fish catches.

While rushing to buy fish, these fishermen also once again became very curious about the person named "Wang Xinhao".

The topic of "Wang Xin" in the fishermen's exchange area has once again increased.

"Haha! Thank you, Mr. Wangxin, for selling fish meat to help the Jianghu in an emergency. First give fish coins and then sell fish meat. I hope you will keep up the good work!"

"Boss Wangxin, why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to sell the fish? I've used all my fish coins to buy ingredients, and I'm so anxious. Please leave some for me!"

"Hey~ Luckily, I saw that I didn't have enough fish coins to buy materials to upgrade the vehicle, so I kept some."

"It's sold out so quickly. Does the boss from the Heartless still have any fish meat? Sell some more."

...
