Chapter 186 Blue Thorn Dies, Loot Division
"..."
"???!"
Seeing Chen Qing's extremely serious question, Lan Ci first fell silent, and then a surge of anger arose spontaneously.
Is she looking down on him?
"She looks down on you."
Chen Cheng poked his head out from behind Chen Miao again and said to Lan Ci with great certainty.
Blue Thorn's face was gloomy, and the hand at his side was clenched tightly, as if he would punch Chen Qing in the face at any moment.
Blue Thorn, of course, wanted the culprit who nearly wiped out the entire Rose family dead!
Killing Chen Qing would be easy, but...
The Red Serpent family wants Chen Qing alive.
If Chen Qing dies, the Red Serpent family will definitely not help the Rose family!
Without the support of the Azure Sea Mechanic Purple Rose, and with only the advanced mechanics Green In and Blue Jade, who are only half-step masters, the Rose family's chances of rising again are slim to none.
Blue Thorn had only recently learned that Purple Rose had died.
When they first heard the news, the Spurs were terrified.
For the mechanical family of the Deep Blue Sea, mechanics of higher levels are extremely important.
Even if the Purple Gold Rose is not in the Deep Blue Sea, she can still continuously provide support to the Rose family in the Deep Blue Sea.
This is quite different from the armed forces of pirate bounty hunting expeditions.
The thought of this immediately calmed Blue Thorn down, and he relaxed completely.
He really didn't dare to touch Chen Qing.
Blue Thorn glared at Chen Qing with hatred, thinking how lucky she was!
He intended to let Chen Qing go, but Chen Qing did not appreciate his good intentions.
Blue Thorn wanted to capture Chen Qing and imprison her in the castle's prison until the Red Serpent family came to pick her up.
Lan Yu will also come back with her. With her there, the Rose Family can remain stable and won't have to worry about these lowly people on the island causing any trouble.
Just as Blue Thorn was thinking this, Chen Qing suddenly sprang up.
She ducked low, clenched her fist, and swung it at Blue Thorn's temple with incredible speed!
However, Blue Thorn, as the best among the blue-series roses, is naturally not to be underestimated.
He was originally wary of his relationship with the Red Serpent family and dared not touch Chen Qing, but now that Chen Qing wanted to kill him, he no longer cared about the Red Serpent family and Lan Yu's instructions!
Blue Thorn aimed and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger of the Dragon Scale Firearm, sending the specially made bullet hurtling towards Chen Qing at high speed.
Both of them were extremely agile, and all their movements happened in the blink of an eye.
The bullets from the Dragon Scale Musket were impossible to dodge.
Blue Thorn is different from that pirate in the Ghost Moon Pirate Crew; he received formal training and graduated with honors.
Since he was determined to kill Chen Qing, he would never give Chen Qing a chance to escape.
"boom--"
The immense power of the Dragon Scale Bullet did not hit Chen Qing in one shot as Blue Thorn had anticipated. Instead, it seemed to hit something and caused a terrifying explosion!
Black smoke billowed out. Having missed its target, Blue Thorn realized it had lost the initiative and quickly retreated.
However, the cold silver light sliced the black smoke in two, and a figure rushed towards Blue Thorn like lightning.
The black knife in Chen Qing's hand gleamed with a cold light, his eyes were icy, and he stared coldly at Lan Ci as if he were looking at a dead man.
Bai Can, who originally belonged to the Rose family, actually stood behind Chen Qing. His azure beast eyes were as cold as ice, exuding a majestic and terrifying aura that suppressed Blue Thorn!
Having lost the initiative, Blue Thorn was forced to retreat by Chen Qing. He tried his best to defend, but was kicked by Chen Qing in mid-air!
The black blade, like a ferocious venomous snake, slashed through the air in an instant, aiming for Blue Thorn's vital point. His pupils contracted slightly, and he deeply felt Purple Star's fear before his death.
He couldn't understand why the Dragon Scale Firearm hadn't killed Chen Qing!
Bai Can absolutely does not have this ability; as a member of the Rose Family, he knows this all too well.
At this moment, the pervasive black smoke and the white mechanical behemoth within it became a backdrop to highlight Chen Qing.
The Spurs are ruthless; they resolutely cut off their arm to survive!
He gave up an arm but saved his life.
He rolled to the side in a disheveled manner, dodging Chen Qing's second attack.
Completely different from the mechanical spiders, the mechanical bombs were quickly thrown out by Blue Thorn, and a deafening explosion rang out, filling the air with smoke.
A special mechanical bomb flew straight toward Chen Qing, who calmly raised his hand and slashed at the air!
The Fire Crab Bomb, which Blue Thorn had placed high hopes on, was easily split in two by Chen Qing.
The bomb was about to be swept away by the sea of flesh, but its movement was stopped by the black blade.
"Don't eat it, it's still useful."
With a flick of his blade, Chen Qing retrieved the Fire Crab Bombs into his spatial storage and quickly caught up with Blue Thorn.
Under the cover of the explosion, Blue Thorn escaped in a flying machine.
Once he reunites with Lan Yulu, he will definitely get his revenge for today's defeat!
However, Blue Thorn forgot one thing: Chen Qing didn't come alone today.
“Vast and insignificant”.
Chen Cheng stood on a large rock, resting her head on her hand and gazing into the distance, a bright smile spreading across her face.
Compared to the other children in the orphanage, Chen Cheng really loves to laugh.
The others rarely showed any expression.
"Um."
Chen Miao nodded, then produced another rocket launcher from somewhere and aimed it at the blue spikes in the sky.
Blue Thorn's aircraft was hit instantly before it even left the airspace of Rust Island!
A rather unattractive black and red firework exploded in the sky, and the seabird-like aircraft plummeted like a kite with a broken string.
Even if Chen Miao didn't make a move, Blue Thorn wouldn't have been able to escape.
Beyond Rust Island, Wind Shadow Emerald and the Extraordinary Mechanical Ship await him.
The Seabird aircraft crashed heavily into the commercial district, and Blue Thorn scrambled out of it in a disheveled state.
He wanted to run away, but then a pair of dark boots caught his eye.
Before Blue Thorn could even look up, the black blade had already pierced his chest, blood gushing out like a fountain, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
As his head was severed, Blue Thorn's body twitched twice, a final struggle, before collapsing to the ground, his life fading away, motionless.
With Blue Thorn dead, the remaining members of the Rose Clan had no ability to resist.
"What a pity."
Chen Qing glanced at Blue Thorn's corpse, then looked away.
What she regretted was that the Deep Blue Guardian of the mechanical ship, having unleashed such a powerful attack, ended up taking a bullet for it.
There's always a feeling of losing money.
To be honest, Chen Qing had never felt this poor in his previous world.
Although he wasn't very wealthy before, Chen Qing was not sick, didn't squander money, and wasn't materialistic. Apart from occasionally losing a little money, he didn't have any other expenses.
Even though Chen Qing now has a lot of assets, he feels much poorer than before, and is often either in debt or on the verge of becoming in debt.
She's started calculating costs now, something she's never done before.
Of course, it would be worth it for her to exchange her life for the deep-sea guardian.
However, while the Dragon Scale Firearm is powerful, it's not powerful enough to warrant activating a skill of the Deep Sea Guardian level.
It's because Chen Qing didn't have any more suitable defensive equipment.
For Chen Qing now, the strength of the Super Shield Whale and the Explosive Battle Rabbit is not enough.
She either has to replace those two or upgrade them.
The gap in Extraordinary Points is too large.
The extraordinary points obtained from the battle on Rusty Island, plus what Chen Qing had left before, amounted to less than eight hundred points.
After taking the spatial artifacts and dragon scale musket from Blue Thorn, Chen Qing threw his corpse into the sea of flesh.
After activating Deep Sea Guardian, the mechanical ship only had 725 energy points left from the Rust Island.
The minimum energy required to activate the Deep Sea Guardian skill is 10,000 points. The minimum energy required for Doomsday Judgment and Space Travel is the same.
The 10,000-energy-point version of Doomsday Judgment is not in the same league as the 100,000-energy-point version, not to mention there may be million-energy-point and ten-million-energy-point versions above that.
If Chen Qing can accumulate that many energy points, the scene will definitely be spectacular.
Right now, the damaged Green Rose Guard mechs should still be able to provide the mechanical ship with about 100 to 200 energy points.
After several rounds of battles, Rusty Island was almost completely destroyed, with the exception of the Rose Family's half-ruined castle.
"Where are Chen Sen and Chen Miao?"
Having dealt with the Blue Thorn, Chen Qing returned to Rose Castle.
Chen Cheng and Chen Lin were still in the same place, but Chen Sen and Chen Miao were missing.
"The two of them went to deal with the rest of the people."
Chen Cheng smiled sweetly, making Chen Lin and the others feel a little guilty.
The rest of the people were in the military factory on Mount Pukui.
Chen Qing glanced at Chen Cheng indifferently. Chen Cheng didn't blush or skip a beat, showing no shame whatsoever. Instead, she stared with a pair of innocent, watery eyes.
Bai Can was taken away by Chen Qing. The Green Rose Guard was almost wiped out, so they had to give her a chance to replenish her forces.
Conquering territory is easy, but defending it is difficult.
Just look at what happened to the Rose family to know.
"I will leave the Blue Rose Guard to you."
Chen Qing knew Chen Cheng's thoughts. Apart from Bai Can, Chen Qing did not plan to take any other machinery with him.
All you need is a white remnant and a military factory.
Even if there were more... Chen Qing couldn't afford to support them all.
We simply can't afford to maintain them; raising an army has always been incredibly expensive.
If it weren't for the fact that Fengying Jade can forage for food on its own, Chen Qing would be bankrupt by now.
"real!"
Chen Cheng didn't give Chen Qing a chance to back out. He immediately sent Chen Lin and the others to take over the Blue Rose Guard, preventing Chen Qing from making any further moves.
Based on Chen Qing's tactics, not many members of the Blue Rose Guard will survive.
Despite Chen Cheng's previous secret criticism of Chen Qing, she's now calling her "good sister" all over again.
"I want to take all the cash from the Rose family with me."
Chen Qingdao, not far away, the mini rabbits that had just finished their battle transformed into porters, carrying the factory assembly line equipment that had been dismantled in advance under the command of the Mechanical Heart.
Second-hand or second-hand, it's still usable.
After moving it back to the ship, Chen Qing repaired it again, and it became a good assembly line once more.
"no problem!"
Chen Cheng readily agreed, saying that if the money was given to Chen Qing, then it would be given to Chen Qing.
Such a large family must have some hidden treasures.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng's smile brightened even more.
Since arriving in this world, she has been so poor that she has had to sell her blood.
Chen Chengzhen had sold other people's blood; she sold it to a wizard.
However, Chen Cheng completely miscalculated regarding the Rose family's most treasured possession.
The Rose family are nouveau riche, the poor who suddenly became rich.
After the Purple Rose was no longer there to keep her in check, the entire family became incredibly arrogant and began to squander money like water.
For example, Green Sand can spend a thousand goldfish to customize a sofa.
I wonder how many goldfish I could sell this thing for if I took it to a recycling center.
Aside from the white remnant and the wild rose, the rose family really doesn't have any other treasures.
The entire Rose family is filled with these expensive and useless things, so Chen Qing's choice to take the money and leave was absolutely the right one.
Given the bad habits the Rose family had developed, they didn't have much cash left in their family.
The most valuable things have already been divided up.
However, it's better to take cash than those priceless pieces of furniture.
Under the supervision of the Mechanical Heart, Chen Cheng inventoried all the money and assets, both on and off the books, of the entire Rose Family.
A total of 127,000 goldfish are still not as expensive as the ghost ship Chen Qing sold.
Chen Cheng held the ledger and grinned mischievously, with a hint of silliness in his smile.
This was the first time she had gotten the better of Chen Qing, which made Chen Cheng extremely happy.
After counting the money, Chen Miao and the others returned.
"It's all cleaned up."
Chen Miao told Chen Qing that all the Rose Family members who remained on Rust Island had been wiped out.
With Chen Lin's spatial abilities, dealing with these weaklings was a breeze, and the Blue Rose Guard's strength was preserved to the maximum extent possible without much time was wasted.
Now, of all the arsenals on Mount Pukui, only one remains waiting for Chen Qing to acquire it.
"This is troublesome."
Chen Qing patted Chen Miao on the shoulder, turned around, and Chen Cheng, who was still grinning foolishly, instantly returned to his original state.
"Ahem, let's go."
Chen Cheng waved goodbye to Chen Qing, eager to see him off.
See you next time.
Chen Qing turned and left. As soon as she left, Chen Cheng immediately pulled Chen Miao and the others together to start a large-scale search of Rose Castle!
After leaving the castle, Chen Qing went to Mount Pukui, where she needed to personally dismantle the military factory.
However, after Chen Qing inspected it, he found that the core of the Rose Family's military factory was only at level C.
If she wants to build that Class B military factory, she has to start with the Delugu family.
Forget it, the Delugu family was one of Chen Qing's targets to begin with.
Chen Qing took it in stride and wasn't disappointed. He quickly began dismantling the massive military factory, which would take quite a while.
This military factory is almost an integral part of Mount Pukui.
While Chen Qing was engrossed in dismantling the military factory, Chen Cheng inside the castle finally finished her inventory.
She sat blankly on Green Sand's luxurious sofa, worth a thousand gold coins, when suddenly a sharp explosion erupted!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Chen Cheng was about to lose it. What on earth had she done?!
She actually happily gave all the money to Chen Qing, leaving behind this pile of junk!
"..."
Just as Chen Cheng was immersed in the rage and unable to extricate herself, something suddenly poked her.
She turned around and saw a sea of flesh.
Rouhai was holding up a sign that read, "High-price buyback of used furniture."
"Aaaaaah—!!! Chen Qing!!!"
Chen Cheng erupted in a sharp, explosive sound once again, going into a frenzy.
Achoo!
Chen Qing sneezed, looked up blankly, and realized that the cave didn't seem cold at all.
