Chapter 108 The Terrifying Nature of Rumors

After breakfast, Chen Qing went back to her studio and began working intently, completely oblivious to the raging flood outside.

These things really had nothing to do with her.

The survivors in the chat channel were arguing wildly, all speculating about who would be the final winner.

After all, this ranking list doesn't just include survivors from China, but rather survivors from the entire planet Earth.

Although many survivors simply couldn't get there in time.

Those survivors who were assigned to the deserted area are the real survivors.

[Wilderness Survival].

Initially, because of Chen Qing's fame, many survivors thought she would be the winner, but unexpectedly, there are so many shady dealings in the leaderboard now.

Chen Qing was at a disadvantage when fighting alone; his name was nowhere to be found in the top 100.

Let alone the top 100, she would have a hard time keeping her position even in the top 1000.

Those survivors who secretly placed bets on Chen Qing are devastated; they've lost everything.

I was initially drawn to Chen Qing's demonstrated strength and reputation, but I never expected her to be so weak!

However, while some criticized Chen Qing, others supported him, firmly believing that he was simply accumulating strength.

Among them, the survivors who had previously received favors from Chen Qing argued the most fiercely with those who criticized Chen Qing, such as the group from Reef Island, Qingxian's group of middlemen, Gao Yue and her group, etc.

Even those who couldn't speak in the sea chat channel were still desperately cheering for Chen Qing in the regional chat channel.

Qingxian and her friends come from relatively well-off families, so they were among the survivors who were most heavily criticized on the Sea Channel.

It was like a debate with a group of scholars!

The language of Chinese people when swearing is quite rich, and it once made survivors from other countries feel depressed.

However, despite his reclusive nature, those who criticize Chen Qing continue to criticize him, and those who want to cause him trouble will continue to cause him trouble.

Although some countries are relatively fragmented, the survivors in most countries are united.

Chen Qing didn't care about the storms outside; her emotions remained stable, and she showed no anxiety about her ranking.

However, while she can remain calm, some survivors cannot.

[Gao Yue: Chen Qing, where are you? We caught a batch of treasure-hunting fish, and they're still alive.]

[Qiao Zhiyu: Did Gao Yue tell you? Don't worry, we fully support you! Please, you have to get first place! I'm even putting all my future wedding and funeral money on your shoulders, sis.]

[Qingxian: Sister Qing, we've purchased a batch of mechanical artifacts in the Treasure Sea; they'll definitely be of help to you!]

The conflicts surrounding Chen Qing were known even to the natives, given the sheer number of survivors who flooded into the Gem Sea this time.

There are even more people who enjoy watching the drama unfold.

The islands in the Gem Sea were completely full, and Marzaan even messaged Chen Qing, asking if she needed any help.

To receive a mysterious gift is something that money can't buy.

When these sea wanderers first appear, they are always likely to receive mysterious gifts.

Sapphire Island, which is behind Marzaan, has no intention of getting involved in this conflict. As for whether the Gem Pirates will participate, that's another story.

However, Mazan can make decisions for Sapphire Isle, especially after the fortifications are in place.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing couldn't see any of these messages; she was currently in seclusion in her studio researching them.

Fortunately, there are many survivors in Gemstone Sea, so the news spreads quickly.

A group of survivors with a love for gossip and a penchant for watching the excitement formed a Gem Observation Group, providing real-time updates on the situations of the most popular competitors.

Chen Qing's grades are currently a bit poor, but she's still among those being reported.

This gem observation team had extensive information channels and quickly located Chen Qing on deserted island number 266.

The news spread quickly, reaching both survivors and natives. In no time, many humans rushed to Island 266.

Those who knew the inside story immediately understood that Chen Qing had his eye on the group of Fengying Jadeite.

Their true purpose remains unknown.

When Chen Qing came out of the studio again, there were boats all around the deserted island No. 266, and even on the island itself, there were several familiar figures.

"Look, everyone! The legendary survivor, Chen Qing, is standing right in front of us!"

"I'm sure everyone has heard of Chen Qing and her deeds, so I won't go into too much detail here!"

"Wow—camera! Quick! Zoom in! The legendary survivor Chen Qing seems a bit off; she looks a little agitated, and her eyebrows are drooping at a full angle!"

"What could be making Chen Qing so agitated? I'll venture a guess: it must be because of her ranking on the leaderboard and the other survivors' opinions of her!"

Why is she so concerned about this ranking?!

"I'll make another bold guess, but perhaps it's because of the betting odds on this ranking!"

"Judging from her expression, she must have placed a lot of bets to be so worried!"

"My God! The legendary survivor Chen Qing is actually a gambling addict!!"

On a small boat, a survivor holding a microphone is shouting exaggeratedly, with extremely expressive body language.

The words that came out of his mouth were also distorted from a single angle.

Chen Qing didn't understand either. In just one meeting and a few words, she was labeled a gambler.

Gao Yue and the others on the deserted island naturally heard the survivor's exaggerated words, and they strongly suspected that it was sent by another competitor to cause trouble!

"How about I go over and beat him up?"

Qiao Zhiyu clenched her fist, her fingers cracking.

"No need, I recently drew a new card that can turn him into a pig."

Zuo Yun sneered, and a magic wand appeared in his hand.

"You guys are horrible, but I support turning him into a pig!"

He Congrong nodded solemnly. That bastard is too good at spreading rumors!

"Why are you here?"

As they were discussing, Chen Qing, who had been on the ship, appeared on the deserted island, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

Didn't you receive my message?

Gao Yue looked up at Chen Qing, assuming that Chen Qing would at least know that they were here.

"I just came out of the studio."

Chen Qing shook his head, took the ice water handed to him by the gem hunter next to him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Not to mention that Gao Yue and the others had arrived, Chen Qing had no idea what was happening outside.

"ah……"

Gao Yue and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat subtle.

It seems they were all more anxious than the emperor, but... suddenly they all burst into laughter.

Chen Qing seems to have this kind of personality; she's always been like this.

There was a huge commotion outside because of her, and she didn't know anything about it.

It's kind of funny when you think about it.

Those who have been dedicated to smearing Chen Qing must be furious.

Chen Qing really is someone who remains unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before him.
