Chapter 100 Mysterious Sea Clan

"When does it begin?"

As soon as they boarded the ship, the gem hunters couldn't wait to ask.

"?"

Chen Qing looked at them strangely. She had only asked them to come aboard to discuss it; she hadn't even said she agreed yet.

Perhaps the doubt on Chen Qing's face was too obvious, because the gem hunters' joy immediately subsided.

Things didn't go so easily.

These gem hunters were quite guilty, after all, they were hiding something from Chen Qing, and if she found out...

Judging from the current situation, does she even know?

They carefully observed Chen Qing's expression, hoping to glean some useful clues.

It was completely useless. From the moment she met Chen Qing, she had almost the same expression, without any change.

However, the next second, they were so shocked by Chen Qing's words that they wanted to run away.

“I know about your affair with Ergul.”

The super-powered vines pushed a chair over at the opportune moment, and Chen Qing sat down, looking down at the group with a cold and disdainful gaze. The gem hunters also collapsed to the ground following her words.

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

They only had this one thought in their minds.

Actually, these gem hunters used to be very ambitious and confident. If it were the old them, they wouldn't have been afraid of Chen Qing at all.

Their current state is not entirely due to Egul; Egul is only part of the reason.

The culprit was a treasure-stealing sea monster, or more precisely, the sea creature that instigated it.

It and she completely destroyed their confidence, pride, and everything they were proud of, turning them into what they are now.

Egul was, in a sense, the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Qing suddenly smiled. Perhaps she wanted to express friendliness or something else, but in any case, in their eyes, Chen Qing now looked like a devil.

Just like the sea creature that crippled them.

"..."

The fear on the faces of the gem hunters was so obvious that Chen Qing felt quite helpless.

"I can agree to make you mechanical prosthetics, but the goldfish..."

Chen Qing pondered the bargaining tutorial and decided to cut the price in half at least.

Given the current situation, shouldn't she start cutting from one-third of the way down?

"As long as you're willing to help us manufacture mechanical prosthetics, Goldfish..."

A gem hunter gritted his teeth and said, cutting off a piece of flesh.

We don't need the goldfish!

"You're insane!"

Upon hearing her words, the other gem hunters practically went crazy.

Who gave her the right to answer such questions on their behalf!

"Have you all forgotten that she'll be coming this time too?"

The gem hunter gave a wry smile; they had offended not only Ergul, but also that sea creature.

She has always been petty and enjoys tormenting people. She doesn't like killing, but prefers to bring people to the brink of utter ruin.

It could be said that she was the one who orchestrated their offending of Egul.

Chen Qing helped them, whatever her motives, but if she finds out, she will definitely be targeted.

Regardless of the outcome of Chen Qing's fight with that person, Chen Qing will not die. If Chen Qing doesn't die, what will be the consequences of their deception?

Chen Qing is not like them; she has no background whatsoever. If she could find out who they offended so quickly, their fate would only be worse than it is now.

It's better to just be honest.

With prosthetic limbs, they can regain their fighting ability and continue to dive for gems, as long as they carefully avoid that person.

Even if she contacts them again, they can still save up some money.

The gem hunter frankly told Chen Qing everything, and Chen Qing found his behavior familiar.

Cross.

That guy named Liujin.

However, Chen Qing was certain that Liu Jin was not a member of the Sea Clan. Could this Sea Clan be a member of the Cross Star?

If so...

"I agree."

Chen Qing sat quietly in the chair, looking down at the group.

The gem hunters looked up at Chen Qing; her eyes were like abysses, unfathomable and sharp.

When she looked down at them, it was as if the whole world was under her control.

They seemed to have been like that before, before their spines were broken by that sea creature.

The gem hunters were somewhat stunned, as if they were looking at their past selves through Chen Qing.

However, they immediately lowered their heads. They were nothing but stray dogs now; how could they compare to others?

"?"

Chen Qing always felt that the way they looked at her was strange, but she didn't really care.

Compared to them, Chen Qing was more concerned about that sea tribe.

If that sea creature is indeed a member of the Cross Star, then it's truly a case of finding something you've been searching for without any effort at all.

She had already made an enemy of the Cross Stars. Given the Cross Stars' personality, this matter could only end when either they died or she joined them.

"Fill out the form."

The super-powered vines handed them a thick stack of forms, which contained many questions related to their habits.

The mechanical prosthetics are meant to replace their original limbs, and since they are custom-made, Chen Qing will definitely need to collect all the necessary information.

The human body has a low lower limit and a high upper limit, with a large range. Mechanical prosthetics are the complete opposite, with a high lower limit but a low upper limit.

Chen Qing wasn't sure what level they had reached before, but she would do her best.

With their future at stake, the gem hunters quickly put aside their useless emotions and began filling out the questionnaires seriously.

Chen Qing returned to the studio to continue refining the blueprints, selecting polishing materials, and making parts.

The Gemstorm has already reached its tenth phase. Once the eleventh phase ends, the Gemstorm should be almost over.

Chen Qing didn't have much time left; she needed to work through the night.

Fortunately, these gem hunters' mechanical prosthetics are not difficult to manufacture; the difficulty is definitely much lower than that of building defensive fortifications.

Chen Qing had the super-powered vines temporarily set up a studio. She didn't like others entering her studio, so she repurposed it in an empty room on the deck.

While they were moving their tools to the new studio, the gem hunters were still carefully filling out forms.

Chen Qing began manufacturing the basic framework for the mechanical prosthetics. She had just observed that these gem hunters preferred auxiliary tool-type prosthetics to combat-type ones.

They were probably terrified by that sea creature.

If she really is a member of the Cross Star, then the Cross Star has truly caused a lot of harm.

When Chen Qing finished the two frames, Super Vine brought in a gem hunter and his Q&A scroll.

"Sit down. I can't guarantee the quality of the finished product, but it's guaranteed to be at least a D grade. It depends on how well you do it."

Chen Qing flipped through the thick questionnaire without looking up.

Yes, yes, yes.

Based on the answers on the questionnaire, Chen Qing modified the blueprints and started making the product in less than half an hour.

"..."

The gem hunter dared not speak, but...

Is this mechanic really reliable, getting the hang of things so quickly?
