Chapter 172 Ghost Moon Pirate Profits
Chen Qing leaned against the railing of the ghost ship, closing his eyes and waiting for the Water-Covered Therapy Butterfly treatment to finish.
It must be said that the water-covered butterfly treatment technique was anything but restrained; it was as painful as it could possibly be.
Feeling the pain in his palms and other injured areas of his body, Chen Qing frowned slightly.
She is relatively tolerant of pain and not afraid of pain, but that doesn't mean she can't feel pain.
Making trouble where there is none is something only a fool would do.
After chasing away the Water-Covered Healing Butterfly, Chen Qing glanced at the mini rabbits who were carrying various supplies from the ghost ship, and quickly looked away again.
There are also some mini bunnies salvaging the shipwreck that was sunk by the Wind Shadow Emerald. The scene is quite cute and adorable.
These pirates were actually quite poor most of the time.
They didn't have much cash on hand, and once they got the money after the robbery, they either squandered it or used it to improve themselves.
Or it could be replaced with various kinds of supplies, although this possibility is relatively small.
They mostly squander the money, and it's all gone in no time.
They spend money far more ruthlessly than bounty hunters; money comes too quickly and too easily, so they don't cherish it.
The same goes for the Ghost Moon Pirates. Despite having such a large and extraordinary pirate ship, and so many pirate ships, Chen Qing has only received less than a thousand goldfish in cash so far.
Even if they looted all the remaining pirate ships, they probably wouldn't have much more.
Moreover, there weren't many valuable items on the ship; most of them were quite ordinary.
Only the pirates' weapons and the weapons on their ships are worth something, enough to sell for tens of thousands of goldfish.
Especially the sniper's big sniper rifle; if Chen Qing hadn't gotten close, he might have been able to blow Chen Qing's head off with a single shot.
All the other Ghost Moon pirates' weapons combined probably don't even amount to the value of a sniper rifle.
A gold-quality sniper rifle with three B-grade skills, one of which is a passive skill.
Moreover, this sniper rifle is inlaid with many gems and has been enchanted.
That sniper definitely invested heavily, but unfortunately, the gun was too good, and his skill level wasn't up to par. He simply couldn't unleash the full potential of that sniper rifle.
Chen Qing's appraisal skills weren't yet able to fully determine the sniper rifle's stats, but she could pay the system to do so.
This is a new feature that appeared after the system update, which can completely digitize these equipment and weapons.
The higher the grade and quality of the equipment, the higher the appraisal fee. This sniper rifle alone will cost three hundred goldfish just for the appraisal fee.
Chen Qing quite liked the sniper rifle, but she didn't plan to keep it, as she wasn't planning to switch to a combat profession.
Everyone has their own area of expertise. Chen Qing's swordsmanship is already quite good. If he were to switch now, all his investment would be wasted.
This is not cutting your losses in time, but giving up halfway.
Chen Qing glanced at the sniper rifle named "Eight Thousand Blazes" with some regret, then opened the chat channel.
The biggest rewards from killing the Ghost Moon Pirates are probably the supernatural ship, the sniper rifle, the supernatural points earned from killing them, and their corpses.
Chen Qing needs to quickly convert his sniper rifle and other weapons into cash, and the survivors, who are big spenders, are the best choice.
As for that extraordinary ship, Chen Qing was still unsure how to deal with it.
Chen Qing has a large number of mechanical creations under his command, so adding another ship wouldn't be a big deal.
The existence of the ghost ship can also make up for some of the shortcomings of the mechanical ship. However, if the ghost ship wants to keep up with the progress of the mechanical ship, Chen Qing must invest a lot of extraordinary points.
Let alone the extraordinary ship, even developing a career as a sniper would be difficult for Chen Qing.
Without the Blood Spirit, Chen Qing was truly struggling to accumulate Extraordinary Points.
Once you open the chat channel, even though it's late at night, there are still many night owls active.
The most discussed topic was the battle between Chen Qing and the Ghost Moon Pirates.
The Deep Sea Daily newspaper was delivered too quickly; during the time Chen Qing was fighting the Ghost Moon Pirates, the Deep Sea Daily published three full issues.
Of course, the content isn't limited to Chen Qing and the Ghost Moon Pirates; it also includes information about the Demon Dragon Pirates, the White Fairy Pirates, the Macuraine Merchant Guild, the Rabbit Ear Bone Merchant Guild, the Delugu Family, and more...
It was just a coincidence.
Chen Qing is currently enjoying great popularity, and her news has been featured on the front page of the daily newspaper.
Mechanical Heart has already placed the daily newspaper in Chen Qing's bedroom. This time, the newspaper deliveryman is a red fish.
It's still the same old brutal delivery, but the red fish has been taught a lesson by the Mechanical Heart.
It almost got stewed.
Chen Qing opened the private chat channel. The number of survivors in the private channel has remained stable at around 800, with very few increases.
Most of the people here are survivors who have traded with Chen Qing, as well as some of the more powerful buyers she had when she held the auction.
It's not just survivors from the Dragon Kingdom.
A saying circulates among the survivors: only those survivors invited into Chen Qing's private channel can be considered true powerhouses.
Actually, that's somewhat true.
Survivors come and go in Chen Qing's private channel, and those who can stay in the channel must be at least elite level.
Basically, any survivors in the private channels who participated in the previous Gem event were on the leaderboard.
Chen Qing: Tomorrow's auction includes [Eight Thousand Flames of Departure], [The Sword of Thorns], and...
[Zhao Fuli: Wow, boss, which pirate crew did you wipe out this time?]
[Teng Wanlin: If I said you weren't quick enough to surf the internet, how come you reply to messages so fast? But if I said you were quick enough to surf the internet, how come you didn't see three daily reports from Deep Blue Newspaper?]
[Teng Wanlin: Name your price for that sniper rifle, I'll go raise the money.]
This message was sent privately by Teng Wanlin to Chen Qing. It was rare to come across a sniper rifle that suited her so well, and she was determined to get it even if it cost double.
On the other end of the channel, a woman sat on a rock with her legs crossed and a cigarette dangling from her lips, looking at the sniper rifle called "Eight Thousand Fire" with increasing fondness.
Just looking at her name brings her good fortune! She has finally found her destined love!
"Boss, why are you laughing so smugly?"
"Get lost! I'm in a good mood and I'm not going to argue with you. Go catch your fish!"
Teng Wanlin kicked her underling in the butt in annoyance. Weapons of this caliber are extremely rare, and she would grit her teeth and accept the price no matter how expensive they were!
"Don't roll away yet, come back."
Just as the younger brother was about to leave, Teng Wanlin called him back, his face full of resentment.
How much secret savings do you have left?
Teng Wanlin grabbed her younger brother by the neck and smiled wickedly.
"What do you want? This is my savings for getting married! I'd rather die than give it to you!"
The younger brother clutched his wallet tightly, glaring warily at Teng Wanlin.
"Oh dear, it's a completely different world now. Come and marry into my family, brother. I'll definitely find you a good one."
Teng Wanlin gave her younger brother a serious look, nodded emphatically, and shamelessly extended her hand.
"Give me the money, I have something important to do."
"..."
Listen to her, is she even speaking human language?
