Chapter 210 Rune Factory Acquired, Faroe Islands

Although the Ghost Bone Pirates were returning to the Misty Sea, they still sent someone to deliver the thank-you gift they had promised Chen Qing.

She is Blind Eyes, the deputy of Yougu. As her name suggests, Blind Eyes is blind.

Blind Eye is also a very strange person. Although she can't see, she is actually a sniper in the Ghost Bone Pirate Gang.

Apart from a few members of the Ghost Bone Pirate Gang, no one knew why she was blind, nor why she never sought a cure for her eyes.

The fact that Yougu dared to send her alone to deliver the thank-you gift to Chen Qing is enough to demonstrate her formidable strength.

"I'm giving it to you along with this spatial artifact."

"Thank you for fixing that necklace."

Before Chen Qing could even go to the reef island, Blind Eyes came looking for him.

She drove a small jet ski alone, making her way to the vicinity of the sea area where Chen Qing was located.

Like most pirate captains' first mates, Blind Eyes had a quiet and reserved personality.

"By the way, things probably won't be peaceful in the Elemental Sea lately, so try not to go there if you don't have to."

The blind man smiled kindly at Chen Qing and offered a reminder.

The culprits behind the unrest in the Elemental Sea are none other than these pirate crews.

Chen Qing had no idea about the specific process, and the Survivor Observation Group also revealed no information whatsoever.

I guess I'll have to pay money to buy it.

Chen Qing wouldn't waste this money.

She is very poor now, extremely poor.

Chen Qing doesn't go to the Elemental Sea. She has absolutely no connection with it and doesn't care about what's happening there.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Chen Qing accepted the gift from the blind woman and returned the favor with a gift of his own.

Her ship had little but plenty of weapons and mechanical artifacts.

Chen Qing gave them fifty Sailor Rabbits.

With the scroll factory in hand, Chen Qing will not lack Sailor Rabbits.

Last time, it wasn't just Shangjia who was interested in Sailor Rabbit; the other pirates also liked her quite a bit.

However, seeing that Chen Qing refused to join, they didn't say anything more.

Who could resist a cute and useful little bunny?

There's no need to worry about the Sailor Rabbit being cracked once it's sold. Its most important asset is the Sailor Job Change Scroll, which is impossible for outsiders to crack.

Unless they storm Chen Qing's ship, hold a knife to her neck, and force her to hand over the formula, it's unlikely to happen.

Of course, the possibility is also slim.

After sending the blind man away, Chen Qing began preparing to deal with the Red Serpent family and the Delugu family.

The Cross Star, the Red Serpent Clan, and the Delugu Clan are the three opponents Chen Qing needs to deal with as soon as possible.

Chen Qing had been tracking the whereabouts of the Cross Stars, but to no avail.

Chen Qing did not intend to take direct action against the two families; the most appropriate course of action was to take advantage of their misfortune.

The Delugu family was already at the very center of the war, and even without Chen Qing, they would most likely not have had a good ending.

The Red Serpent family, on the other hand, is a bit harder to deal with.

Like their family name, they are a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, far more intelligent than the Delugu family.

Chen Qing checked the information on the war channel and quickly determined the right time.

The Delugu family belongs to the Blue faction, and Chen Qing remembered that the Bounty Guild had a related mission before.

When you go to the Drugu family, you can accept the quest and earn some quest points.

However, the main force attacking the Delugu family was definitely not Chen Qing, but their old rival, the Barbaro family.

Their last defeat made them a laughing stock in the entire deep blue sea, and this time they are determined to take back everything!

Although the Barbaro family was defeated and their territory was taken over by the Delugu family, not all of their family members were still dead.

Moreover, they took quite a few things with them when they fled the Barbaro family islands.

Chen Qing has made contact with Barbara Barbara, and she will join them in the attack.

Barbara's goal was the same as Chen Qing's: to grab a piece of the pie and run.

Barbara understood the situation better than the Barbara family; their family's territory was not going to be taken back so easily.

The Mechanical Association didn't need to deploy too many troops to this battlefield, and other forces were even less likely to help them.

To reclaim the Barbaro family's territory, they will have to rely on themselves; this is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Barbara took Chen Qing's advice and prepared to launch a pirate operation.

They grabbed it and ran.

This is currently the most suitable playing style for them.

There's nothing they can do; they have no people, no money, no territory, and no equipment.

Currently, some members of the Barbara family have been left on an island under the Mechanical Association, while the rest, like Barbara, have gone to the front lines of the battlefield to try to reclaim the Barbara family's territory.

Because this was a pirate-style operation, Chen Qing didn't bring the mechanical ship, but only the enforcers, cleaners, and fluid doctors.

It was still a portion of the Wind Shadow Jade. Chen Qing was worried that if there were too many spoils, her three spatial items wouldn't be able to hold them all.

The two spatial artifacts sent by the blind man to house the rune factory totaled 1,200 cubic meters and contained the core equipment of the rune factory. Chen Qing would have to figure out the rest himself.

Chen Qing handed the matter over to the assistant bees, while she, unburdened, led the enforcers to the Faroe Islands, where the Delugu family resided.

This used to be Barbara's territory, what a pity.

This time, Chen Qing was driving a high-speed boat, traveling at full speed from here to the Faroe Islands, day and night, which would only take less than a day.

After arriving at the Faroe Islands, rest for another day until the curse of the half-skull disappears, then raid the Faroe Islands again before returning to the Reef Island.

The speed of this high-speed boat was unmatched even by many sea monsters, and with the Wind Shadow Emerald escorting them, Chen Qing's journey was very smooth.

There is one problem: Chen Qing is currently unable to eat, so Fengying Jade can only drive away the sea monsters and pirates along the way.

When war breaks out, it's not just warmongers who profit; pirates do too.

The increased number of merchant ships coming and going greatly facilitated their robberies.

Moreover, many ships were carrying war resources, such as weapons, which they could then resell on the black market for huge profits.

Chen Qing encountered two instances of pirates robbing civilian ships. The pirates were indiscriminate in their attacks, robbing both merchant ships and civilian ships.

Chen Qing wouldn't care if the merchant ship was robbed; any merchant ship that dared to sail at this time of year was a tough nut to crack.

However, Chen Qing conveniently saved the two civilian ships. Instead of killing the pirates, she had the civilians on the ships do it themselves.

Before Chen Qing arrived, these pirates had already caused some damage to civilian ships, and their ships also had many hostages tied up on board.

The ship was filled with mournful cries, but no one blamed Chen Qing for arriving so late.

If this were in the original world, someone would actually do that.

However, most of these indigenous people have become numb and accustomed to the plundering they suffer at the hands of those in power.

That's just how war is.

"Thank you, sir."

A middle-aged man on the civilian boat knelt down in front of Chen Qing, who stepped aside to avoid him.

Her face still bore the bloodstains from killing the pirates, and her eyes held a fierce glint.

It was hatred for these pirates, and for this damned world.

Most ordinary people submit to the world, but there are always those who are clear-headed and unwilling to accept it, and they are determined to change the world.

Zhao Fuli is like this.

This middle-aged man, whose family was murdered by pirates, was the same.

He endured his fate all his life, but even so, he couldn't bring peace to his family.

She's either insane or mad, and she's clearly the latter.

"Where are you from?"

Chen Qing looked at the civilians on the boat and asked.

The ship was carrying a large number of civilians, and it was piled high with odds and ends.

It seems they wanted to take refuge.

“We are residents of Admiralty Island.”

Because of the war, they were forced to flee their homes and wanted to find a new place to settle down.

Unexpectedly...

"There is a deserted island 600 nautical miles from this direction. You will pass Iron Anchor Island along the way. You can take these pirates to the island and exchange them for bounties to buy some necessary supplies."

These pirates, along with their ship, should be able to exchange for tens or hundreds of goldfish, which would be enough for them.

If that middle-aged woman is smart enough, she should be able to make use of these things.

Chen Qing had no interest in these paltry sums; they would be troublesome to deal with anyway. It would be better to leave them to them and see how far these commoners would go.

Will they remain united, or will they fall apart because of these interests?

No, these things are—

Just as the middle-aged man was about to refuse, he discovered that Chen Qing had already disappeared, and her ship had sailed far away.

The common people, who had suddenly received a huge fortune, were somewhat at a loss and did not know what to do.

Even a middle-aged woman was stunned by this windfall, but her eyes quickly cleared and became ambitious.

"Everyone, listen to me..."

Having already left, Chen Qing no longer paid attention to these people. For her, the most important thing now was to seize a sufficient batch of resources from Faroe Island.

There are also large mining machines.

Skipping over these minor incidents, Chen Qing quickly arrived at the Faroe Islands.

When she arrived in the Faroe Islands, it was dark again.

Black smoke billowed over the Faroe Islands, with occasional flashes of fire.

The smell of gunfire lingered in the air, and soldiers hurried by.

There are survivors, indigenous people, and many mechanical creations.

The Red Team's battlefield consists of only two islands; the remaining eleven islands of the Faroe Islands are under the control of the Delugu family.

The island is full of ruins, from which one can glimpse the former prosperity of the Faroe Islands.

Only one bounty guild remained standing, serving as a field hospital for the Red Team members.

The staff within the Bounty Guild tacitly approved of this. As soon as Chen Qing entered the Bounty Guild, he smelled a strong stench of blood mixed with a pungent, acrid smell of cheap alcohol.

The Faroe Islands, the former home of the Barbaros family, have been tacitly abandoned by the Mechanical Association, so they receive very few resources.

The resources and money brought by the Barbaro family were limited, and they had already poured all of them into the war, but it was still a drop in the ocean.

Barbara was waiting for Chen Qing at the Bounty Guild, accompanied by another member of the Barbara family, Barbani Barbara.

Several months had passed since I last met Barbara. She looked much older, with a melancholy lingering between her brows.

"Chen Qing, over here."

Barbara's call made the eyes of all the survivors in the Bounty Guild light up.

Chen Qing actually joined the Red Team!

Does this mean they're about to rise to prominence?

Even many ordinary people couldn't help but cast expectant glances at Chen Qing, as they had all heard of his great reputation.

Will Chen Qing's involvement help them reclaim the Faroe Islands?

They preferred to live under the rule of the Barbaro family rather than the Delugu family.

The chairs in the Bounty Guild hall had long been removed, replaced by rows of stretchers and a medical ship.

"Go."

Chen Qing gave instructions to the fluid medic, who accepted the order and immediately began treating the wounded.

Chen Qing then came to Barbara's side.

She came here with three tasks in total.

Provide resources, hunt down members of the blue team, and heal members of the red team.

The first task provides resources of any type and quantity, and the Barbara family is not picky, since they don't have any extra rewards to offer.

It's likely that only Chen Qing would be willing to take on this task.

"Here are five hundred medical pods and two thousand mini rabbits."

"Remember to return the spatial items to me."

Chen Qing pushed the two spatial rings to Barbani and said.

Thank you!

Barbani's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected Chen Qing to be so considerate.

The Barbara family's former allies didn't provide as much support as Chen Qing did!

A bunch of opportunistic guys, only thinking about taking advantage of the chaos.

"There's also food and warm clothing. You can come with me to the coast to get them later."

We've now entered the Snow Moon season, and the temperature in the entire deep blue sea is terrifyingly low.

Starting a war in such weather would be a nightmare for both civilians and soldiers, but it would greatly benefit war profiteers by allowing them to raise the prices of supplies.

Chen Qing had collected a lot of resources beforehand, especially food, which she had plenty of on her ship.

Among them, the most prized is the cooking fruit.

With this, Chen Qing alone could break the war profiteers' monopoly on food.

This is no joke, it's for real, it just depends on whether Chen Qing is willing to spend the time and effort on it.

The survivors in the Bounty Guild all perked up their ears; they had all heard about the cooking fruits Chen Qing had bought.

Was that the food she brought?

Just thinking about the delicious food from their original world made these survivors' mouths water.

Waaah, as expected, Boss Chen Qing is the most reliable. He's even willing to come and support us from a poor, remote place like ours.

Of course, they weren't stupid enough to tell anyone, as that would only make Chen Qing hate them, and she would definitely be condemned to death by the players in the blue team.

He might even be added to the blue team's bounty list.

"When to make a move?"

Barbara asked in a low voice.

"Tomorrow night then."

Chen Qing glanced at the countdown timer for the Half-Skull Curse on the panel and replied.
