Chapter 188 Professional Recipes, Survivor Observation Team

After putting away the Rune Storm, Chen Qing glanced at the special supply box.

A whole box full of job change scrolls... sailor scrolls, apprentice sailor scrolls.

Exactly one hundred, no more and no less.

"..."

How can you say Chen Qing is unlucky to have found something like this in a special supply box?

If you collect all 100 cards, can you summon the dragon?

Obviously not.

Although he couldn't summon the dragon, Chen Qing found something good on the box.

This special supply box is actually a special scroll in itself.

It is none other than the [Professional Apprentice Sailor Scroll Making Recipe Blueprint].

Although it's only an apprentice-level professional recipe, it means Chen Qing can mass-produce professional scrolls.

"..."

Chen Qing stared at the wooden recipe in his hand, never expecting that there would be a recipe for a professional scroll.

No, that's not how you say it.

It's probably unexpected that professional scrolls can be mass-produced with just a few materials.

The material is a bit...

How should I put it?

It was taken from the sailors, and it is used by the sailors.

One of the required raw materials is a drop of flesh from a novice sailor or a piece of flesh from an apprentice sailor.

Of course, this raw material can be replaced with something else.

However, compared to that raw material whose name was extremely difficult to pronounce and which I had never heard of before, it was obviously easier to obtain the flesh and blood of sailors.

This recipe looks a bit bloody at first glance.

However, the flesh and blood of the pirates killed by Chen Qing finally had another use besides feeding the mechanical ship.

Since there's a recipe for the Apprentice Sailor profession, there must be recipes for other professions as well.

However, obtaining it must be quite difficult, as it's too random. Chen Qing's professional recipe was purely obtained by chance.

Getting a second book won't be easy.

The salvage team continued their search; there was always hope in accumulating more special supply boxes.

Chen Qing tidied up the few things he had just acquired. There weren't many, just three items, but the quality was indeed quite good.

Purple-quality B-grade melee weapon, the Drywood Spear; light gold-quality B-grade firearm, the Dragon Scale Musket; and the magic scroll, [Rune Storm].

Chen Qing planned to keep the magic scroll and sell the other two to exchange for other magical resources.

Everyone in the Deep Blue Sea knows that Chen Qing is a melee mechanic who uses a knife, and she originally intended to leave the Dragon Scale Firearm behind.

However, compared to the Dragonscale Firearm, the Runestorm is clearly rarer and more unexpected.

No one would have expected that Chen Qing would plan to develop a career as a magician.

Moreover, given the blueprints, Chen Qing could make his own Dragon Scale Firearm, and it's not impossible for him to create one even more powerful.

The Rune Storm skill scroll is indeed extremely rare and hard to come by.

Chen Qing did not use the scroll immediately, but instead temporarily placed it in the treasure vault.

Currently, apart from this scroll, Chen Qing has no other magical resources. Even if she learns it, she doesn't have the conditions to activate this skill.

Unlike physical professions, magicians have a lower barrier to entry.

That might sound harsh, but it's true.

Rune Storm will be put into the vault for now; I'll learn it once I've gathered enough other resources.

This scroll is a best-selling item; once it's put on the market, there's no shortage of buyers.

In case Chen Qing goes bankrupt again someday, he can sell this blueprint to tide him over for a while.

Chen Qing reached out and touched her nose; given how fast she spent money, it wasn't impossible.

Chen Qing put the Dragon Scale Musket and the Drywood Musket directly into the auction house and then left them alone.

She stood in front of the hive of the assistant bee and continued to study it.

While conducting research, they also assembled the factory assembly line together with the assistant bee.

Chen Qing was already used to multitasking.

Even if we can't completely repair the helper bee hive, it's good to produce more helper bees.

The Dragon Scale Musket and the Drywood Musket went up for auction. Since Chen Qing opened the auction house, he has set several transaction records, which no one has been able to break to this day.

With her outstanding example, survivors want to put any good items on the auction house, but in most cases, they are ruthlessly rejected by the system.

As the survivors' strength has increased, the auction house's standards have also risen considerably; at least a purple-quality item is required to be listed on the auction house.

Chen Qing's Dragon Scale Firearm immediately ranked among the top three.

The two items in front of it are a gold-quality sword and a purple-quality passive skill book.

Skill books are more valuable than weapons.

"Boss, boss, something terrible has happened!!"

As soon as the Dragonscale Musket was deployed, the survivors who were constantly monitoring the auction house received the news.

Teng Wanlin was one of them; one of her assistants was keeping a close eye on the auction.

"What's wrong? Why are you yelling like that!"

Teng Wanlin is receiving treatment in the ship's medical room. That Xiong Lian is incredibly cunning!

"Chen Qing has loaded another gun!!"

"Melee firearms!"

The young woman emphasized this point.

"Huh? What did you say??"

Teng Wanlin stood up instantly, her dialect flaring out, and immediately opened the auction list on the trading channel.

The data for the Dragonscale Musket was displayed prominently before her.

"..."

"..."

She really didn't have a single copper coin left.

Not only did he not have a single copper coin, but he also owed a lot of money.

"Um, is Chen Qing on Rust Island?"

Teng Wanlin remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.

"Boss, what are you trying to do?"

The little sister asked innocently.

"I'll go ask her if she wants slaves!"

Teng Wanlin wiped her face and said indignantly!

"No, big sister! What will we do if you leave? What will happen to Auntie?! Auntie can't live without you!"

"Woof woof—!"

Teng Zhiqiang, standing to the side, barked twice in response.

"I've told you so many times, Zhiqiang and I are sisters!"

Teng Wanlin said irritably.

"puff--"

A laugh came from the doorway. Teng Wanlin looked up and saw Gao Yue and the others.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh."

Gao Yue said this, but she didn't hide her bright smile at all.

This family is really hilarious.

Most of the people in Teng Wanlin's group were related by blood or marriage; they had grown up together and known each other for a long time, so they were more comfortable chatting with each other.

I never expected that Gao Yue would see this and make me a laughing stock.

Their two teams are practically sisters in misfortune.

Neither of them benefited from Xiong Lian's ghost ship.

Alas, it's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; I never expected Xuan Ye to appear out of nowhere.

That bitch!

Gao Yue and Teng Wanlin both showed a hint of disgust on their faces, as they had both thought of the same thing.

"unlucky!"

"unlucky!"

They said in unison.

Teng Wanlin and Gao Yue exchanged a smile.

"Never mind, it's better than Xiong Lian having it."

Teng Wanlin shook her head. At least Xuan Ye was a human being, but Xiong Lian was not human at all.

To be honest, I've been in this world for a few months now.

There's a certain unspoken understanding between survivors; they rarely attack ordinary people.

Most teams and individuals adhere to this unspoken rule well.

However, while Xiong Lian outwardly agreed to pretend everything was fine, in private...

"It's a pity we didn't kill Xiong Lian; he got away."

Gao Yue shook her head and sighed.

Cutting the weeds but not eradicating the root cause is a major taboo.

The scene was incredibly chaotic, a complete free-for-all, with the surrounding waters filled with survivors' boats.

There were even rafts coming to join the fun, selling melon seeds, peanuts, and roasted walnuts...

Everyone's attention was focused on the ghost ship. That bastard Xiong Lian had actually run away with Zeng Mingxue and the money on the ship.

"I advise you to keep some money."

After laughing, Gao Yue spoke seriously to Teng Wanlin, offering her advice.

"How so?"

"I consulted a fortune teller, and he said something big is about to happen."

Gao Yue put on a profound and mysterious air, deliberately making herself seem enigmatic.

Speak like a human.

"War is about to break out in the deep blue sea."

How did you know?!

Teng Wanlin frowned. They had just settled down, how could things be in chaos again?

"The Delugu and Barbaro families are not at war. We accidentally passed through Delugu's territory earlier, and ships from other sea forces appeared in their territory."

Gao Yue told Teng Wanlin what she knew, and she wanted to join forces with Teng Wanlin.

Among the survivors, their strength was already not that great, and now with the addition of the natives, their strength is even less significant.

"Later, we secretly went to investigate the outskirts of the Barbaro family and found that there were also combat ships from other sea areas in her area."

"Not only that, the mechanical families in the Treasure Sea are also shipping out combat machinery materials and combat machinery by the ship."

"Food and energy prices have also started to rise, not by much, but... you know."

"Where did you get the information from later?"

Teng Wanlin already trusted Gao Yue to some extent, and they also had some feelings about it.

"I consulted a master."

Gao Yue smiled slightly.

"Furthermore, you should have received the news that Chen Qing captured Rust Island, right?"

Chen Qing's information network is probably much better than theirs; they received the news too late.

"Why would she want to conquer a mechanical island for no reason? Isn't her mechanical ship enough for her development?"

"..."

Teng Wanlin paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.

For a mid-level nobody like her, following the lead of the higher-ups is always the right thing to do.

What are your thoughts?

It's settled.

Gao Yue raised an eyebrow at Qiao Zhiyu next to her, and Qiao Zhiyu silently gave her a thumbs up.

Okay, she lost two more goldfish.

The smoke of war in the deep blue seas has finally reached the survivors. Survivors who are well-informed or sensitive to the situation have already begun to prepare.

For example, Chen Qing, and those official forces of the survivors.

They started preparing even earlier than Chen Qing, and in terms of sensitivity to the situation, they were far more capable than Chen Qing.

Chen Qing's preparations are almost complete; all he needs to do is seize the core of the advanced military factory belonging to the Delugu family.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

After confirming that Lan Yu and the others from the Rose Family had no chance of returning, Chen Qing left Rust Island directly.

She didn't say goodbye to Chen Cheng and the others.

It's estimated that Chen Cheng wants to kill her right now, and so do Chen Miao and the others. Unless absolutely necessary, they definitely don't want to see Chen Qing again.

As the mechanical ship sailed away from the port of Rust Island, Chen Cheng had to admit he breathed a sigh of relief.

She really wanted to strangle Chen Qing.

Moreover, she didn't dare to see Chen Qing; it would be too embarrassing.

With Chen Qing no longer a major obstacle, Chen Cheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and were finally able to unleash their full potential on Rust Island.

Chen Qing's next destination was Clockwork Harbor. The ship hadn't sailed far when it was met with another pile of newspapers from Deep Blue Newspaper.

This time, her performance on Rust Island failed to make headlines.

The headlines were dominated by the Machinery Association.

[Shocking! The Mechanical Association has done something truly shocking!]

Chen Qing felt that there must be survivors in the Deep Blue Newspaper based on this headline.

If you look closely at the content, it's about the Scyther.

However, it wasn't Chen Qing's; the one Chen Qing created was already dead.

It was Liao Shi's mechanics who caused the mess, and it even got involved with the Delugu family.

The Delugu family and another Beixing family are Liao Shi's major financial backers.

They created more than one Blade Dance Mantis, all of which were incomplete failures.

Chen Qing has been on Rust Island these past few days and hasn't gotten involved in that mess.

Liao Shi was unable to control the Mantis, and the Mantis killed Liao Shi and escaped from his secret laboratory.

His laboratory is on Steam Island, a very famous island in the Treasure Sea, which is densely populated and bustling.

Then……

And so the tragedy unfolded.

If it weren't for the quick action of the Mechanical Association, probably half the island's inhabitants would have been wiped out by the Blade Dance Mantis.

There are seven sword dance mantises in total, and there is one more in the laboratory that is not yet finished.

Liao Shi's body was inside the laboratory; it was a gruesome sight.

All the news was exposed in the Deep Blue Daily, and the Mechanical Association could not hide it no matter what it wanted to do.

At the end of the front page, Deep Blue News thanked the Survivor Observation Team for their generous provision of information.

The same Gem Observation Team that Chen Qing had encountered before has officially changed its name to the Survivor Observation Team and become a special intelligence group officially hired by Deep Blue Newspaper.

Now the Mechanical Engineering Association can't touch them even if it wants to.

According to the newspaper, the Survivors Observation Group is still digging deeper into the inside story.

The inside story of the Mechanical Association and the Mantis Swordsman... Mechanical Ruins.

Looks like I need to go check out the mechanical ruins soon.

Just thinking about this survivor observation group gave Chen Qing a headache.

These reporters and paparazzi are incredibly powerful.

Chen Qing assured that his appearance at the suspected location of the mechanical ruins would be published in the Deep Blue Newspaper immediately.

They even wrote about Shuangwei and Feihuo dining and dashing; she was carrying a mechanical ship, making her too conspicuous.

Beings of the caliber of the Demon Dragon Pirates and the White Fairy Pirates are their primary targets of observation.

Chen Qing has been making too much noise lately, so she's definitely one of their key targets for observation.

The Deep Blue Daily even published a special article about her relationship with Chen Cheng and the others.

[The story of Chen Qing, a newly minted genius mechanic, and three men and seven women—a tale of intricate and intertwined relationships.]

This is the original headline in the Deep Blue Daily.

We need to think of a solution.

In short, Chen Qing still planned to go to Clockwork Bay first.

With those people watching her, it was inconvenient for her to do anything.
