Chapter 207 Leaving Jade Branch Island: The Difference Between Bosses and Trash

"Fortifications?"

Chen Qing glanced at the cement bags, then turned to look at Zhao Fuli and the survivors behind her.

"right."

Zhao Fuli nodded emphatically.

"What can these things block?"

Chen Qing asked very directly.

Those cement bags alone can't stop anything.

"Harmful."

Zhao Fuli touched his nose sheepishly. "Isn't it because we're poor?"

When she was with the Dragon Pirates, she never had to worry about money.

Now that I'm working independently, I have to pay for everything myself, so I try to save as much as I can.

However, Zhao Fuli remained optimistic. Yuzhi Island was located in a remote area, and hardly anyone would come here, so even these cement buildings would be sufficient.

She also saved up a lot of money while she was with the Dragon Pirates.

Zhao Fuli had been preparing to leave the Demon Dragon Pirates, although she didn't know if that day would ever come.

Putting everything else aside, the members of the Dragon Pirate Crew are quite generous.

"By the way, Chen Qing, I'd like to ask you to purchase some cooking fruits."

"Um... can I get a discount if I buy more?"

Zhao Fuli smiled somewhat embarrassedly, explaining that with limited funds, he could only try to scrape together every penny he could.

"Um."

Chen Qing did not refuse, and told Zhao Fuli to talk to the Mechanical Heart, saying that she would give her a discount.

During her seclusion, the Mechanical Heart created a mechanical body for herself, making it easier for her to carry out her daily tasks.

Chen Qing was a hands-off manager who didn't care about anything, only about bringing back money and supplies. Mechanical Heart still needed a new body.

"Thanks!!"

Zhao Fuli was happy and wanted to give Chen Qing a bear hug, but in the end, she didn't do so because of Chen Qing's imposing manner.

I really felt like I was going to get a beating from Chen Qing.

"You guys go ahead with your work."

Chen Qingchong nodded to Zhao Fuli and walked into the Bounty Guild. She was preparing to leave Yuzhi Island and head to the location where the salvage team had discovered the marine mine.

I happened to pick up a few tasks on the way, so I did them all at once.

The neutral faction has all sorts of missions, ranging from buying ordinary supplies for someone in a village to conquering the main islands of various factions, with a wide range of tasks.

Chen Qing didn't care about the number of mission points or the size of the mission, as long as it was on the way.

After seven days of seclusion, the war continued to develop and spread, and the missions for the neutral faction had expanded to hundreds of thousands.

Fortunately, the Mechanical Heart had been keeping a close eye on things these past few days and had provided Chen Qing with a suitable task list, planned according to Chen Qing's flight path.

Chen Qing only needs to scan the code to automatically jump to and accept the task.

Very convenient.

Many large-scale missions offer rewards beyond neutral faction points, including special rewards provided by the red and blue teams.

If you want to hire survivors from the neutral faction, why would they work for you if you don't pay a price?

Grandma Yuhua watched Chen Qing's movements and noticed the task she had accepted. Her eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

How will this child's arrival change the current situation?

I just hope it's going in a positive direction.

Although Granny Yuhua is a staff member of the Bounty Hunter Guild, she opposes war.

However, wars in this world can never truly stop.

As long as there are living beings in this world, the struggle will never cease.

She watched Chen Qing's retreating figure and sighed heavily.

When her gaze fell on Zhao Fuli, she couldn't help but feel gratified.

At least there are still people in this world who, like her, oppose and abhor war.

These people are young, and they have the potential to change the world.

Are you leaving?

Zhao Fuli looked at Chen Qing in surprise, but at the same time thought it was normal.

After all, it's Chen Qing.

She can't stay on this island forever like them; even they will leave one day.

"Then I wish you a safe journey and great success!"

"I hope you can achieve all the goals you want to achieve."

Zhao Fuli smiled and offered her blessings to Chen Qing, sincerely hoping that all of Chen Qing's wishes would come true.

Whether it's Chen Qing or Shang Jia, their goal is the Crimson Sea, an even more brutal battlefield.

She has no ambition; she just wants to live a quiet life in the deep blue sea.

Once Chen Qing makes a name for himself in the Crimson Sea, and when she's old, she can brag to the younger generation that she and Chen Qing were once inseparable friends.

I'm sure Chen Qing wouldn't have held it against her for bragging back then.

I hope you feel the same way.

"goodbye."

Chen Qing nodded, turned around and left Yuzhi Island.

Yuzhi Island, which had become lively due to the arrival of a group of pirates, has once again fallen silent.

However, the impact of these pirates is far from over.

The formidable power displayed by the pirates ultimately inspired many young men on the island to set sail.

None of this had anything to do with Chen Qing; she had a lot more to do.

Mining inevitably requires some large-scale machinery and equipment.

Chen Qing did not.

She also didn't have a suitable channel to purchase it.

If she were to contact a caravan, it would probably take less than half an hour for all the major and minor powers in the Deep Blue Sea to know that she had found a new mine.

Survivors wouldn't have such large equipment, but they might have the blueprints.

However, Chen Qing started mining precisely because of a lack of raw materials.

Prices in the deep blue sea are currently insane; inflation is rampant, regardless of the type of commodity.

Chen Qing planned to target the Red and Blue factions, as they definitely possessed the necessary equipment.

The Delugu family, the Red Serpent family.

Both of these families are Chen Qing's targets.

There's no need to completely conquer them; just like pirates, loot a bunch and run.

Anyway, everyone knows that Chen Qing has a grudge against these two families.

To rob them, you need a sufficient number of combat machines.

Currently, on Chen Qing's ship, these mechanical creations are divided into three levels.

Lord monsters, elite monsters, and regular monsters.

Lord-level units include law enforcers and mechanical ships.

Secondly, there are the elite monsters White Remnant, Scavenger, and Fluid Doctor, and the Queen Ant in the Ant Nest can also be considered one.

The number of smaller monsters increased significantly, including Berserker Rabbits, Sailor Rabbits, Mini Rabbits, Mechanical Worms, and more...

The Class B military factory has been completed, and the six random combat machine blueprints have also been obtained.

Although all six blueprints are of B-grade gold quality, they are actually different based on their materials, scale, and craftsmanship.

Minor-level enemies include the [Fiery Horse Bullet], [Heavy Machine Gun Skeleton Legion], [Bloody Butcher], and [Burning Eye Floating Cannon].

Lord-level Black Sun Shield-class cruisers and Spirit Dragon-class destroyers.

The next two ships take a long time to build; even a Class B military factory operating at full capacity can only produce one ship per month.

However, with the addition of titanium crystal flying ants and assistant bees, this time should be significantly reduced.

As for the other four mechanical blueprints, while the production volume wouldn't be as low as that of ships, it wouldn't be much higher either.

After considering the available materials, Chen Qing ultimately decided to have the military factory produce skeleton soldiers, bloody butchers, and wild horse bullets first.

The remaining Class C military factories are dedicated to producing mechanical spider bombs and mechanical worms.

The auxiliary combat machinery factory is responsible for producing medical bays and water-covered healing butterflies.

Chen Qing suspected that the war was instigated by the Mechanical Association, and that they had already amassed a large number of combat machines.

In this case, medical devices will be relatively easier to sell.

Both the medical pod and the water-covered healing butterfly are not disposable mechanical creations, making them quite cost-effective for many survivors and cannon fodder in the battle.

On the way to the next destination, Chen Qing was not idle either.

She was disassembling the blueprints of the two ships, breaking them down into small parts.

Although she only has one B-level military factory, she has six auxiliary combat machinery factories.

She could use these factories as parts processing plants to produce the parts for the two ships, which would then be assembled by the Titanium Crystal Flying Ants and the Assistant Bees.

The time should be shortened significantly.

Chen Qing will not allow the six blueprints from the Class B military factory to be leaked, especially for these two ships.

Chen Qing will use the other four blueprints, along with the mechanical spider bomb, mechanical worm, sailor rabbit, and two medical machines, as the main mechanical creations to be sold to the public.

They basically target the low-to-mid-range market.

Chen Qing doesn't need to worry about the Sailor Rabbit's Sailor Job Change Scroll.

The Demon Dragon and the Ghost Bone went to rob the Elemental Sea. The Ghost Bone left a message for Chen Qing, telling him to wait, and that she would rob a scroll factory for him as a thank you gift.

Hopefully, Chen Qing will have finished his experiment with the cooking fruit grass by then, and there will be a separate reward for him.

After Chen Qing repaired the pendant, the scenes he had experienced and the deaths of his companions stirred up the few remaining feelings of compassion among the pirates of the Ghost Bone Pirate Gang.

Yukotsu hopes that the appearance of the cooking fruit grass can bring some changes to this world.

With the Ghost Bone as a safety net, Chen Qing doesn't need to worry about the scroll factory for the time being.

Chen Qing didn't trust the pirates' character, but rather their moral character.

Those few ruthless pirate gangs, when united, are no match for any other faction.

It will definitely take some blood for this to end.

They are experts when it comes to robbery.

The salvage team discovered the marine mineral deposit near the reef island. That area of ​​the sea is very poor, with hardly any islands.

This is perfect for Chen Qing's work.

There's also a mission on Reef Island, jointly launched by the island's village and the Bounty Hunter Guild.

The score is not low.

With over 5,000 points, it's a task that's quite easy to complete.

The mission requirement is to provide them with a batch of D-grade to C-grade weapons, with no restrictions on type or quality.

In return, in addition to neutral faction points, there is also a Reef Island specialty, Tide Jade.

These originated from the whirlpools of the reefs in the waters near the reef island, and there are only a few of them on the reef island itself.

On the way to the reef island, there are also many miscellaneous tasks, such as wild beasts on a deserted island needing a gynecologist, a caravan shipwrecked at a certain coordinate point needing rescue, a certain human needing a certain item, and so on.

These points aren't many; a single task might only yield a few, tens, or hundreds of points, and all of them combined might not even equal the points from a single task on Reef Island.

However, Chen Qing's ship had a lot of machinery, so at each point, he would send a small boat out to let the mechanical creations complete the tasks.

After completing the task, row back by yourself.

People who post these kinds of tasks are usually not aggressive because they are poor and have no money to improve their strength.

Therefore, these machines are very safe.

Although these tasks may award few points, they can accumulate over time.

Chen Qing had already accumulated eight thousand points before even reaching the reef island.

On the vast ocean, a giant mechanical ship is followed by countless mechanical rabbits desperately rowing in pursuit.

It's quite a spectacle.

"My God, look over there!"

A team of survivors pointed in shock at the distant spectacle and shouted loudly to their teammates.

This is really amazing!

Whose boat is that? It didn't even stop for a moment. It's so cold-blooded to let its companions chase after it like that.

She thought it, and that's what she said.

"I told you to spend some money to fix your nearsightedness, but you wouldn't. Those over there are all mechanical rabbits, okay?!"

In the deep blue sea, minor ailments like nearsightedness or disability are easily cured, as these are inherent problems not caused by other factors.

It's easy to treat and costs very little.

Of course, this applies to Chen Qing and her group.

For the average survivor, it's already pretty good to save up a few silver coins a month.

In this world, life is truly in danger. If you don't improve your own strength, you'll be at the mercy of others.

"That ship looks like Chen Qing's."

"Chen Qing?!"

"Doesn't she have a mechanical ship? I heard Chen Qing is a neutral party, so who else would have so much free time at this hour?"

Once the battle began, no one on either the red or blue side could remain uninvolved, especially the survivors.

These survivors are heading to the new sea area battlefield to participate in the war.

Most survivors are destined to be cannon fodder.

"I really envy those big shots."

They gazed at Chen Qing's boat and couldn't help but sigh.

When will they be able to get to this level?

"Hey, do you guys know about the new Explosive Battle Rabbit from the Azure Stone Wood Merchant Guild?"

"I know, last time the Baoxiang Group was utterly defeated by those mechanical rabbits."

Do you know where those mechanical rabbits came from?

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!"

The survivor, surrounded by the crowd, pointed triumphantly in the direction of Chen Qing's mechanical ship.

"The Three Pure Ones, the Buddha, and Guanyin Bodhisattva! She's selling them!!"

"According to reliable sources, Chen Qing sold the blueprints."

"Wait a minute, stop talking! Is a rabbit coming towards us?!"

A survivor screamed in terror, "They're so far away, how could Chen Qing hear them?!"

They didn't say anything bad about us!

Who is Wen Xiwen?

Sailor Rabbit jumped from the small boat onto the railing of the giant ship, took out a mission sheet from his small bag, and shouted.

"???"

The survivors were completely bewildered.

An indigenous person immediately emerged from the crowd.

"It's me."

"Your White Dragon Cream."

Sailor Rabbit tossed the ointment into the native's arms, then rowed away without looking back.

"..."

"Is this the difference between us and the big shots?"

"Someone remarked."

"Even these tiny points are being taken by the big shots, so what excuse do we have not to work hard!"

The young survivor gave himself a pep talk.

"No, what we mean is that the boss has many subordinates, so even when doing missions, he doesn't need to do it himself; he can just send his subordinates."

"The big shots will only get stronger and richer."

"And we are still weaklings."

A group of seasoned veterans nearby spoke in unison, ruthlessly shattering the inspirational message the young survivor was about to swallow.
