Chapter 101 The Gemstone Statue in the Central Plaza

Whether Chen Qing was reliable or not, the gem hunter would soon find out.

As a highly talented mechanic, how could she give anyone the opportunity to question her?

Having been through the baptism of a giant Class A defensive fortification, mechanical prosthetics were nothing more than trifles to Chen Qing, even though this mechanical prosthetic was created entirely from blueprints.

Chen Qing did it with ease and skill, without any mistakes or pauses, completing the entire process in one go.

"alright."

Chen Qing took off his mask, revealing a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Chen Qing used a relatively traditional method for creating the mechanical prosthetics for the gem hunters. In addition, all the parts were made by Chen Qing from scratch, so the temperature in the workshop was a little high.

The gem hunter was already drenched in sweat and nearly fainted from heatstroke.

If Chen Qing hadn't rescued him in time, he really would have died.

Chen Qing hadn't expected that this gem hunter would be so physically weak.

"Let's go out and give it a try."

Chen Qing picked up the ice towel next to him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the excited hunter in the chair.

His prosthetic limb performed reasonably well, achieving a D-grade rating, but it was of blue quality.

The silver, mechanical material gleamed with a subtle light, each joint moving flexibly and possessing boundless power.

The gem hunter stared at the hand as if it were part of his own body. With Chen Qing's permission, he rushed out of the makeshift workshop and excitedly showed his new arm to his companion.

This prosthetic arm far exceeded his expectations; it was almost indistinguishable from his original arm in use!

The reason I use "almost" is because it's even stronger than his original arm!

Chen Qing, dressed in her work clothes, lit a cigarette and leaned against the door. Amidst the swirling smoke, she squinted slightly, turned her head to look at the few gem hunters who were as excited as children, her face expressionless.

"Next."

"Me first! Me first!"

A gem hunter with a cane quickly pushed past her companions and rushed into the workshop. Although her companions cursed, no one tried to take it from her.

Chen Qing stubbed out his cigarette, turned around, and closed the door to the makeshift studio.

With the experience gained from before, Chen Qing's manufacturing speed was even faster than before.

The brand-new mechanical legs are iron gray with a smooth black coating on their surface.

His leg joints are flexible and elastic, easily supporting his weight, and his strength is terrifying.

The gem hunter, now with new legs, jumped three feet high, letting out a strange cry that drew frequent glances from the pirates on the nearby pirate ship.

Are all the people on this ship sick?

Although the pirates cursed inwardly, they dared not approach; this ship was sinister.

Other pirates had boarded the ship before, but the woman wasn't on board, and those pirates also disappeared without a trace.

Most importantly, they couldn't find a single clue!

They're just ordinary pirates, not worth messing with.

By evening, Chen Qing had finished fixing all the mechanical prosthetics on the gem hunters.

The lowest grade is D-grade blue quality, but a gem hunter named Chen Qing performed exceptionally well and reached C-grade deep purple quality.

"Lord Chen Qing, we—"

Just as the gem hunters were about to express their gratitude, Chen Qing tossed them a handwritten booklet.

"The maintenance manual contains instructions on replacing some basic parts. Let's go."

Chen Qing ignored their subsequent polite remarks; she had heard them countless times before.

To be honest, it was of no use other than wasting her time.

Yes, yes, yes.

Since Chen Qing said so, they simply obeyed and did as he said.

They have nothing now, so all their gratitude is just empty words. They will thank Chen Qing when they have the chance.

If there's an opportunity, after all, it's just a transaction.

Back in the studio, Chen Qing didn't rest but continued manufacturing the robotic arm. Chen Qing had become accustomed to this non-stop work-rest schedule maintained by recovery potions.

Unlike the mechanical prosthetics worn by the gem hunters, this time it's a tool-type mechanical arm.

The experience gained from creating entirely new mechanical objects from blueprints is far greater than that gained from simply building them from blueprints.

With another four or five C-grade blueprints, Chen Qing should be able to break through to the next level as a class-specific mechanic.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing doesn't have the time right now. She'll have time once the gemstone event is completely over.

The gem hunters who had just left Chen Qing's ship rushed to the market to buy tools, only to overhear other gem hunters discussing something.

Several new statues have been erected in the central square of Emerald Isle, reportedly representing the mechanics who jointly built the fortifications that defended the Emerald Islands and Sapphire Isle from the gem hurricane storm.

This fortification can protect the Emerald Islands and Sapphire Island from gem hurricanes for at least a century!

Among them, they heard a familiar name.

Chen Qing.

"Is this Chen Qing the same Chen Qing we just met?"

One of the hunters asked timidly.

"It feels like it."

The gem hunters looked at each other in bewilderment, then immediately turned around and headed towards the central square.

When they saw the several gemstone statues standing in the square, they truly regretted their decision.

I should have shamelessly tried to get involved with Chen Qing earlier!

We knew she was good, but who would have thought she was this good?!

Among all the different types of mechanics, Chen Qing, a senior mechanic, stood out from the crowd and occupied the most central position.

The inscription beneath the statue clearly states: Chen Qing, female, born a sea wanderer, intermediate mechanic, and the leader of the defensive fortifications.

Intermediate Mechanic! That's an intermediate mechanic!

When he was an intermediate-level mechanic, he worked with a group of mechanics from different schools to build A-level mega-fortifications, and he was even the leader. How strong must his abilities be?

They wouldn't even know how to accept a golden opportunity falling from the sky!

Several gem hunters regretted their actions so much that they wished they could immediately return to Chen Qing's ship and kneel down to express their gratitude.

However, they also knew that even if they were shameless enough to do it, Chen Qing would definitely not accept it.

"My God, is Boss Chen Qing really that amazing?"

"Yeah, this is really a source of pride for us Chinese survivors."

"Could Qing Lao be on Emerald Island? Wow, can I get his autograph and a photo?"

The survivors on Emerald Island certainly noticed this, and they never expected that there would be survivors involved.

It turned out that Chen Qing was the one involved.

Their thoughts were similar to those of the gem hunters; they only knew that Chen Qing was powerful, but they didn't really know he was this powerful.

So incredibly cool!!

Chen Qing knew nothing about what was happening outside, but that wasn't important. If something truly serious happened, the super-powered vines would tell her.

Chen Qing was completely absorbed in his work, and with the help of the assistant bees, a large number of mechanical creations filled the studio.

Chen Qing was completely absorbed in his work until a system notification interrupted him.

[The large-scale Gemstone event – ​​the Frosty Moon Gemstone event – ​​is about to begin. Survivors, please check the event page.]
