Chapter 200 Division of the Loot, New Discoveries
If the last gem event was a large-scale event, then this war event should be called a mega-event.
Unfortunately, the system's activity loading progress is only a little bit at the moment, and we will have to wait 24 hours to find out what the activity is about.
Chen Qing guessed that the upcoming system might be closely related to the reputation system.
When the Deep Blue War began, Chen Qing had anticipated that the system would launch events, but the reputation system was something she hadn't expected.
This event is one that all survivors can truly participate in, unlike the previous Gem event which had regional restrictions.
But this also means that no one can remain outside the deep blue sea.
A celebration for a few, a nightmare for the majority.
"I'll give you an answer about the cooking fruit grass in a couple of days."
Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged.
"Okay, let's deal with that pile of stuff first."
Everyone's attention returned to the machines they had stolen from the mechanical island. The center of gravity shifted a little too quickly; they had just been discussing these machines.
"Get to work."
He waved his hand and said boldly.
"yes--!!!"
The pirates of the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew responded in unison, their voices deafening.
Anyway, the ones doing the work aren't the mechanics; they're not skilled with machines. The rest of the pirates just follow the mechanics' orders.
There are quite a lot of public machinery, and they are quite varied.
These pirates don't care what they find when they rob; they just grab whatever they can, and if all else fails, they can sell the parts.
Some machines were even recovered with only one leg stolen.
These machines were first inspected by the mechanics of the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang and the Ghost Bone Pirate Gang, and then Chen Qing conducted a second inspection.
Although the bandit alliance stole all sorts of random things, there were plenty of good stuff on the machine island, so even if they just grabbed whatever they could find, it would still be good.
Basically, anything that passes through Chen Qing's hands is a mechanical creation of grade C or higher.
However, it must be said that these robbers were very wasteful.
Chen Qing saw a turret that had been forcibly broken in two, leaving only half of it... a B-grade Thunderclap Cannon.
It broke in two so cleanly, and the other half should still be on the mechanical island.
It's true... great effort can produce miracles.
Chen Qing examined the broken surface and made this judgment.
Besides the turret, there's a mechanical creature that's just a head, a factory without conveyor belts, and...
Chen Qing also saw an entire mechanical garden, completely bare, with all the flowers pulled out.
"..."
The mechanics from the nearby Demon Dragon Pirate Gang and Ghost Bone Pirate Gang sighed repeatedly, their curses growing louder and louder.
The pirates from both pirate crews buried themselves in their work, not daring to utter a sound.
I feel guilty, so guilty.
Especially when the mechanics saw that only half of an A-grade mechanical core had been forcibly torn off, they beat their chests and cursed even louder.
This is absolutely infuriating.
Even Chen Qing would have to say, "What a waste!"
Shangjia and Yougu squatted in front of Zhao Fuli's barbecue stall, not daring to turn their heads.
They stole that Grade A mechanical core together.
As soon as they entered the building, Shi Fang Tu returned with his men and attacked them.
After all, they're on Mechanical Island, so they have a home-field advantage.
If this happened at sea or somewhere else, they would tear those people from Shifangtu to pieces.
That mechanical core was a consequence of Shi Fangtu and the others returning early.
"Sir, we would like to ask you, how come this core is only half?"
She clearly saw that Shangjia and the others had dismantled the entire core, so why was there only this small half left in the end?
No wonder they couldn't find the mechanical core while they were on the ship; they thought it had been stolen by the Ghost Bone Pirates.
I never expected that.
"Don't make a sound, I'm thinking."
He stroked his chin in a pretentious manner, feigning deep thought, trying to evade the questions posed by the Dragon Mechanic.
"Don't make noise, she's grilling."
Noticing the death stare from his mechanic, Yougu felt guilty and stammered.
The mechanics from both pirate crews had already reserved this mechanical core.
Grade A items and props are extremely rare in the Deep Blue Sea, and the resources of mechanics are basically controlled by the Mechanic Association, making them even more precious.
Standing in front of that core, Chen Qing couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Can you fix it?
The mechanic of the Ghost Bone Pirates suddenly asked.
"You think too highly of me."
Chen Qing chuckled and shook his head.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Although Chen Qing is quite versatile in the field of mechanics, she also has her shortcomings.
Chen Qing has never really had any experience with these core mechanical components, and given the limited time, he can't do it right now.
"What a pity."
The Bone Mechanic was quite disappointed. As a mechanic, she had naturally heard about Chen Qing's... deeds or something else.
In short, there shouldn't be any mechanic who hasn't heard of Chen Qing's reputation as a genius.
Certified by mechanics from various schools of thought within the Mechanical Engineering Association.
Any mechanic would want to provoke, no, challenge Chen Qing.
Chen Qing smiled politely, said nothing, and continued with her work.
The machinery stolen by the bandit alliance was roughly divided into three categories: intact, usable after repair, and broken.
The amount of broken items was significantly greater than the amount of intact items next to them, piling up all over the docks of Yuzhi Island.
Granny Yuhua of the Bounty Hunter Guild sat in a rocking chair by the door, drinking and watching Shangjia and the others argue.
How delightful!
With power, connections, a house and land, and probably plenty of money, who wouldn't want such a retirement life?
Zhao Fuli quietly approached Grandma Yuhua with a large plate of braised food, intending to ask her how one could live such a retirement life.
Chen Qing ignored their argument and focused her gaze on the pile of broken machinery.
If we can't afford the good machinery, can't we afford this junk?
Chen Qing approached the helmsmen of four pirate crews. They were essentially quartermasters in the military, and they were in charge of the money, spoils, and other items on the pirate ships.
"You want to buy these broken-down machines?"
Several helmsmen looked at Chen Qing in surprise. Was this kid really that poor?
"Um, how much is it for takeout?"
These junks may be junk, but they're all good junk. Even if they have no use, they're good food for the Mechanical Heart.
The four helmsmen got together and discussed it, finally settling on a price of 4,000 goldfish, which would be just enough to divide among them.
There was a lot of junk, and the quality was quite good, but it was still junk, so it was quite troublesome for them to deal with it.
Neither the Naga nor the Blood Cult ships had mechanics, and the mechanics of the Demon Dragon and the Ghost Bone were already overwhelmed with dealing with the machines they had stolen.
It would be best if Chen Qing were willing to take care of all the junk, saving them from wasting any more of their time and energy.
After payment, both parties readily agreed to the transaction.
The four-person melee between Ueka and the others finally came to a conclusion, with Ueka emerging victorious.
One against three, a complete victory.
She is indeed very strong, almost all-around capable.
Melee, ranged, control, summoning... tsk.
The first person from the same era as the Deep Blue Sea to break through the generational gap.
If we use numbers to differentiate the strength of the current top figures in the deep blue sea, then the strength of the top one is undoubtedly a perfect score of 100.
The difference between those below her and her is huge; they are basically only around 80 points.
However, the pirate group in Shangjia has a big problem.
That is, compared to the other members, none of them are particularly outstanding.
Their skill rating might only hover around 50 points.
It's not that they aren't strong, it's just that the gap between them and Shangjia is indeed huge.
If it weren't for this, Shangjia might have truly dominated the entire deep blue sea, instead of being subject to certain constraints as it is now.
As for Chen Qing, she doesn't even make it into that ranking yet.
However, her talent in mechanics is absolutely top-notch, even surpassing that of Shangjia by a wide margin.
Her extraordinary ship could also rank among the top five extraordinary ships in the deep blue sea.
Shangjia smugly picked out the best quality machine from all the machines and strode past Yougu and the others with an arrogant air.
After the four of them had made their choices, Chen Qing selected a combat machine called Alloy Bladebreaker, a B-grade, light purple quality machine.
This thing is perfect for the military factory that Chen Qing is about to build.
"They're gone."
Chen Qing stored the combat machinery into her spatial storage. She needed to return to the ship to deal with the unknown object from You Gu, improve the cooking herbs, and the assembly of the military factory also required her assistance.
The Rabbit Legion is still diligently moving those junk.
"come on."
Shangjia waved vigorously at Chen Qing and said with a grin.
The four pirate crews of the robber alliance will not all leave Jade Branch Island for the time being. The four of them are united, and anyone who wants to mess with them will have to think twice about whether they are strong enough.
If you try to deal with them, you'll probably get the opposite result.
As soon as Chen Qing left, Shang Jia's expression changed immediately, and he dragged Zhao Fuli, who was still asking Granny Yuhua for information, back onto the boat.
It really is carried by hand, the movement is extremely smooth and silky.
Zhao Fuli looked bewildered, completely dumbfounded.
Back on the ship, Chen Qing, carrying You Gu's pendant, found Xie Lifeng.
The meager number of assistant bees continues to repair the hive and reproduce.
Chen Qing placed the pendants in front of them and gave them instructions to repair them.
The assistant bees swarmed around the pendant and suddenly emitted a buzzing sound that Chen Qing had never heard before.
The pendant was opened, and a blurry image was projected into the void. The assistant bees immediately swarmed around it, circling the image again and again.
Chen Qing's guess was absolutely correct; the assistant bee and the pendant were likely products of the same era and the same type of technology.
After identifying the problem with the pendant, the assistant bee immediately ventured into the mechanical garden to find suitable parts for repair.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find any usable parts.
"Bring over the parts that were disassembled from the Wind Shadow Jade."
Chen Qing stared at the mechanical parts and spoke to the Mechanical Heart.
Associate Beehive, Wind Shadow Jade, Pendant, Sword Dance Mantis, Mechanical Relics, Ancient Relics...
These should all be remnants of ancient civilizations that existed before the current civilization in the deep blue sea.
Remains of mechanical ancestors...
Considering the terrifying appearance of the Mantis Dancer before, it's clear that the Mechanical Association has kept the news of the Mechanical Ruins hidden for so long.
The secrets hidden within those ruins must be terrifying.
"Yes, Master."
None of the previously deceased Fengying Emeralds were wasted; they were all dismantled and piled up in the warehouse.
A large number of mechanical parts were sent to the area where the assistant bees lived. They seemed to sense something, and immediately discarded the parts in the mechanical garden and turned to crawl into the parts of the Wind Shadow Emerald.
Soon, they found what they wanted and diligently transported it time and time again.
They discovered many extremely fine, barely visible parts and components, piecing them together bit by bit onto the image in the void.
The originally blurry image gradually became clear and vivid.
Chen Qing saw You Gu when she was younger, and her companions.
At this time, they should only be teenagers, their faces still carrying the innocence of childhood and the vibrant vitality unique to young people.
Their voices came from the images; the pendant recorded a large number of images, including all the people, things, and events around them.
Chen Qing witnessed the journey of the Ghost Bone Pirates, a journey marked by bloodshed and death, where glory was born from the bones of their comrades.
Chen Qing felt as if he were there, immersed in that time and space, yet at the same time, he also felt a very strong sense of separation.
It took her a long time to come to her senses.
Looking at the time again, more than eight hours had passed, and it was already dark outside.
The artifacts from the mechanical ancestors' remains are indeed extraordinary.
Chen Qing stepped forward and closed the pendant, preparing to hand it over to You Gu later.
Just then, the soil and seawater from the Misty Sea that Chen Qing had entrusted Chen Cheng to collect arrived.
Chen Qing needs samples of the Misty Sea to experiment with the cooking fruit grass, and now that Chen Cheng has arrived at the Treasure Sea, why not take advantage of it?
Chen Cheng sent her a bunch of nonsense. If it weren't for the fact that the system's chat channel couldn't contact the dead, and Chen Qing hadn't replied to Chen Cheng for so long, she would probably be celebrating Chen Qing's death right now.
[Chen Qing: Not dead, deliver the goods.]
Chen Cheng: Oh.
Chen Cheng was genuinely disappointed that Chen Qing hadn't gotten into any trouble.
It's truly a pity.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of seawater and soil were transported over, and the mini rabbit immediately stepped forward, only to be crushed to the ground by these things.
It lay prostrate on the ground, its limbs flailing as it tried to get up, just like a tortoise.
It's a bit funny, and a bit pitiful.
Chen Qing stepped forward to rescue the poor little thing. After all, the Mini Rabbit was a combat machine, not a laborer, so it was best to analyze the various things on the ship as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the mini-rabbits of the Rabbit Legion would have been scrapped on the ship before they even died on the battlefield.
The mechanical heart transported the seawater and soil samples to the planting area, and Chen Qing disembarked with the pendant to return to Yougu.
It was now nearly nighttime, and all the members of the four pirate crews were stationed on the coast of Yuzhi Island.
They enjoyed delicious food and fine wine, with beautiful music playing in their ears.
Beautiful music echoed across the boundless sea, as the waves gently lapped against the beach.
The water gurgled, the moonlight was cold and clear, and the atmosphere was somewhat lonely.
