Chapter 105 Deep Blue Newspaper

Looking at the muscular turtle in front of him, which was crying as if its whole family had died while hugging its shell, Chen Qing was debating whether to kill it with a single blow.

Applause and cheers erupted from the nearby boats, expressing their joy at Chen Qing's heroic feat.

Now, Muscle Turtle cried even harder, tears streaming down his face, muttering something under his breath.

“It said it’s only 142 years old and still a child. Today is its first time delivering newspapers. How could you treat it like this?”

The gem hunter, seeing the muscle turtle's humiliation, gloated and kindly translated for it.

"..."

142 years old, still a child...

Even so, he's still a brat.

The muscle turtle cried for a long time, then wiped away its tears and stood up again. It produced a rope from somewhere and tied the two halves of its shell together, silently pursing its lips and shedding tears as it did so.

It took a lot of effort to tie the tortoise shell up and put it back on my back.

It didn't dare to provoke Chen Qing again. It carefully placed the newspaper under the super-powered vines, turned around and jumped into the sea. As soon as it entered the water, its tears mingled with the seawater, and it cried miserably.

Because of its shell, this muscular turtle couldn't keep up with the main group and was left far behind.

Helpless, it clung to its shell, crying as it made its way, surrounded by the undisguised laughter of the gem hunters.

Chen Qing didn't give it another glance and took the newspaper from the super-powered vine.

The Gemstone Hurricane lasted for more than a month, and a lot of newspapers piled up.

News of explosions from the deep blue seas and the crimson seas.

Chen Qing first looked at the newspapers from the Deep Blue Sea, two thick stacks. Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the deck, the stacks reaching up to his shoulder.

She quickly browsed through it; most of the messages revolved around well-known figures.

For example, there are pirates like Shangjia, Bai Xian, Ye Xing, and Jerome, as well as the gem hunters Shuang Wei Fei Huo, the two mechanic families of the Treasure Sea, the Fire Islands and Water Islands of the Elemental Sea, and the inhabitants of the Desolate Sea known as the Locusts, etc.

The movements were all quite significant.

The Demon Dragon Pirates suddenly appeared in the Plant Sea.

The pirate crews of Bai Xian and Ye Xing have engaged in a fierce battle.

After Jerome's death, his remaining forces fragmented and engaged in fierce power struggles, which affected civilians and islands in the nearby waters.

[A frenzy has swept across Slave Island in search of the lost offspring of powerful figures, leading to a surge in the reputations of figures who fled the Crimson Sea, including Lei Guang, Nan Wang, Gui Tianjiu, and Pearl Nyss.]

[Soumi and Hikaru dined and dashed at the Whirlpool Sea.]

The conflict between the two powerful families, Hydruku and Barbaro, escalates.

The Fire Islands and Water Islands got into a fight over a couple falling in love on one of the islands, accusing each other of wrongdoing.

The exiled people from the desolate sea have broken free and are heading straight for the Gem Sea, their intentions unclear.

Besides these, there are many other seemingly trivial matters, such as reduced exports of plant-based seaweed and rising prices, a large gathering of different schools of mechanics, etc.

Everything points to a large-scale war about to break out in the deep blue sea, which will inevitably drag the entire deep blue sea into it.

However, there's only so much Chen Qing can do; she just needs to take care of herself.

Meanwhile, most of the newspapers in the Crimson Sea revolve around Dahlia, who is now a prominent figure in the Crimson Sea.

[Dalia has appeared in the Crimson Sea; the Blueberry Pirates, Kingfisher Duchy, and Star Seal Duchy have failed to intercept her.]

[Dalia takes over Moana's remnants, and Lightning joins Moana's pirate crew.]

[Dalia meets Blueberry Skjaer without showing the slightest fear.]

[Dalia led the Moana Pirate Crew to a great victory in their attack on the Kingfisher Duchy!]

[Dalia formed the Green Harvest Pirate Crew, independent of the Moana Pirate Crew.]

[Dalia killed her half-siblings Valenkin and Madalina, becoming Moana's only two children.]

The bounty hunters' hunt for Dalia has failed!

The Green Harvest Pirates display their prowess, defeating a small squad of the Blueberry Pirates!

In just over a month, Dalia has grown to this extent, which is truly astonishing.

Danger truly is a test of character.

Chen Qing read through the Deep Blue Monthly Report. Compared to the Deep Blue Sea, the Crimson Sea was slightly more peaceful.

While those pirates and forces are at war, they won't drag the entire Crimson Sea into it.

It is indeed more peaceful than the deep blue sea, but bloodshed is unlikely to stop.

Chen Qing had the extraordinary vines place the newspapers in the temporary study, while she began to test the newly modified equipment on the ship.

Chen Qing installed many mechanical arms around the railings of the ship to hunt treasure-hunting fish and other fish in the shallow sea.

It's not just treasure-hunting fish that eats gems; other fish also consume gems, but they can't digest them like treasure-hunting fish.

The gems they swallowed lay safely in their stomachs; these fish are called "false fish" by gem hunters.

Some of the treasure-hunting fish will be attracted to the shallow waters by the gem lure. These treasure-hunting fish are not very strong, and the mechanical arm that Chen Qing made can handle them.

Even the lowest-level gem hunters can fish them out and kill them, but it takes skill.

Moreover, Chen Qing's warehouse still contained several Explosive Rabbit Hunters, so even if Chen Qing wasn't on the ship, he wouldn't be afraid of pirates or other gem hunters.

Those robotic arms were already programmed, so Chen Qing didn't need to worry about them.

She wasn't sure how strong her opponent was, but it was always good to be prepared.

The gem-encrusted lures on the robotic arm caught quite a few fake fish, most of which were edible.

Even if Chen Qing were to sell these fish, he could make a lot of money. The gems inside their bellies are of low quality, and the price is only between 100 copper shells and 50 silver crabs.

Many of them are broken gemstones, the residue that the treasure-hunting fish accidentally chewed and broke while fighting for the gemstones.

However, these gems can also be sold for a small amount of silver crab.

After catching these fake fish, Chen Qing checked her ranking points and found that she was ranked far below one hundredth.

White gems are worth 1-5 points, green gems are worth 5-50 points, blue gems are worth 50-800 points, and points increase rapidly starting from purple gems, with a maximum of 7000 points.

The gems Chen Qing retrieved totaled 726 points, which wasn't a lot.

The first-place player has already accumulated over 10,000 points, with 17,536 points.

Normally, in such a short time, the first-place player's points shouldn't have increased so quickly.

Among these...

Even the most skilled gem hunter couldn't achieve this alone, and this is only the beginning.

Chen Qing curled her lips into a slight smile.

Since cheating is possible, things become much easier.

Chen Qing is indeed alone, but she doesn't have to be alone.

In terms of manpower, Chen Qing will definitely not lose.

...

Desert Island No. 266

A group of gem hunters had been waiting for a long time!
