Chapter 31 Bounty Hunter Guild and Deep Blue Newspaper

One-Eyed spoke so softly because he was afraid it would reach the ears of the Renault family.

After all, the Gem Pirates might not bother with him, but the Reno family definitely will!

"..."

Chen Qing's expression remained calm, but a hint of unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.

The Renault family?

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go."

Qiao Zhiyu weighed the large bundle on her back and quickly said.

"Come aboard my ship."

Chen Qing nodded. Qiao Zhiyu and Gao Yue had come in small boats, while Zuo Yun and the other two were in an even worse situation, having arrived by raft.

One-Eyed immediately shut up, and the group left the black market and headed to the dessert shop to successfully pick up Daliya and Zuoyun and return to the port.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one would have guessed that Dahlia was sitting in a roadside dessert shop eating.

However, Chen Qing and her companions, carrying large, blood-stained bundles, attracted a lot of attention along the way.

The Sapphire Island Bounty Guild was located near the port, so they went there to collect the bounties from the bandits.

Those black market robbers usually commit many evils and rob people everywhere, so the bounty is quite high.

27 people exchanged for a total of 8 goldfish.

When collecting the bounty from the Bounty Guild, Chen Qing directly registered a Bounty Hunter identity and received a bounty list from the Bounty Guild after adding 5 goldfish.

All bounty missions and rewards in the entire Deep Blue Sea are listed here, and they will be updated in real time.

Updates are not available without paying extra.

Chen Qing also ordered a copy of the daily, weekly, and monthly newspapers from the Bounty Guild.

This is the most authoritative newspaper in the deep blue sea, and the forces behind it are unknown.

The three types of newspapers have different functions. Daily newspapers report on events that happen in the deep blue sea every day or every other day.

Most of these are trivial matters, like a newcomer going to sea.

You can also advertise on it, but there are some delays and geographical restrictions.

The weekly report is published irregularly; sometimes there may not be one per week, sometimes there may be three or four per week, or even one per day.

This encompasses the deep blue sea and the boundary between the deep blue and crimson seas.

It covers everything, big and small, in greater detail than a daily newspaper, and includes commentary and other information.

Major events that happen that day are reported on the same day, even if it's late at night.

Monthly reports, like weekly reports, are released irregularly, sometimes more and sometimes less.

When Moana died recently, Deep Blue Monthly published a total of 37 articles in 15 days!

This report mainly covers events in the Crimson Sea, but because it spans two sea areas, there is a significant delay, hence the name "monthly report."

The three newspapers have different prices: 100 copper shells, 1 silver crab, and 100 silver crabs respectively, with discounts available for annual payments.

Pirates with limited resources simply couldn't afford it.

Qiao Zhiyu was short of money, so she planned to borrow Chen Qing's newspaper for now and subscribe herself when she had more money.

When registering as a bounty hunter, Chen Qing noticed that some pirates also did bounty missions.

The identities of bounty hunter and pirate are not contradictory; many pirates also make a living by betraying their companions.

After discussing the matter, Chen Qing and her group bought some food with unique flavors of this world near the port before returning to the ship.

Besides pirates, bounty hunters, and other professionals, there are also a considerable number of civilians on Sapphire Island.

They lived their lives diligently, just like ordinary people in Chen Qing's world.

The port was filled with food carts and stalls, mostly run by ordinary people.

While Chen Qing and her friends were shopping, they also helped deal with a pirate who was planning to dine and dash.

They encountered a small mishap while waiting for their food.

A pickpocket, about seven or eight years old, was about to steal Chen Qing's wallet when Daliya caught him immediately.

The child immediately wanted to chop the pickpocket up and feed him to the sharks; Chen Qing had no idea when she had gotten the knife.

Dahlia's hostility was stronger than Chen Qing had imagined, even though she already knew the child was no good.

Chen Qing had no intention of pursuing the child thief; she was very young and looked thin and malnourished.

She's somewhat similar to Dahlia, both having fierce eyes that are completely different from their appearance.

Not only that, Chen Qing also noticed that in the corner, several children even younger than this child were secretly watching them, their faces filled with worry.

Seeing the child being grabbed by Dahlia, they tried to rush out, but the child glared at them fiercely and kept them at bay.

The stall owner who bought things from Chen Qing mustered up his courage and pleaded for the child, and the child's situation was not unexpected for Chen Qing.

She was a pirate's mother, a father who died young, a broken woman, and a group of sick younger siblings.

Children like this are everywhere.

Chen Qing bought her some food and then let her go. Qiao Zhiyu and He Congrong were much more sentimental than Chen Qing, and they listened with tears in their eyes.

If Chen Qing and Gao Yue hadn't stopped them, they would have given all the money they had to the child.

But to be honest, giving money to that child in front of everyone would undoubtedly have harmed her.

Moreover, they simply couldn't help.

"Do you two even have brains?"

As soon as they boarded the ship, Gao Yue poked Qiao Zhiyu and He Congrong's heads hard and scolded them, as if she was afraid that others would not know that the two of them were rich and kind-hearted.

"And Hehe! You're not getting away either!"

Listening to Gao Yue's scolding and cursing, Chen Qing's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Well said.

She knew Gao Yue's thoughts; she was different from Gao Yue.

Chen Qing is a solitary person and has long been used to being alone. She likes her current state.

Gao Yue... she wants to build her own team.

Whether or not she would become a pirate was uncertain, but Qiao Zhiyu and Zuo Yun were the teammates she had chosen.

Given their personalities, they'll most likely form an adventure team.

Chen Qing was originally in this group, but after getting to know her, Gao Yue gave up on the idea.

We can be friends, but as teammates, forget it. We're not meant to be.

After boarding the ship, Chen Qing tidied up his things and then followed One-Eyed to the mechanical junkyard.

She gave Gao Yue a sum of money, asking her to help put up a sign on the ship to buy up abandoned machinery.

Many pirate ships carry some, either stolen or salvaged from the sea.

Chen Qing wants to build the mini mechanical factory as soon as possible and start assembly line operations.

With so many pirates gathered on Sapphire Island, her basic three-piece set still sells quite well, especially the seawater purifier.

She needs money.

Scavenging from landfills allows her to significantly reduce both costs and selling prices.

"..."

Watching Chen Qing and the one-eyed man leave, Qiao Zhiyu, who was eating a fish ball, couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"No wonder they're big shots, we..."

This level of execution, this efficiency, and this amount of sleep time is truly terrifying!
