Chapter 41 Close Friend Gao Yue

Chen Qing leaned against the railing, gazing at the boundless sea. He quietly lit a cigarette, leaning most of his body out of the railing, his eyes glazed over.

She is confident, confident in her own strength and talent.

Money and power seemed to be readily available to her.

It was precisely because he could obtain it so easily that Chen Qing fell into confusion about the future.

Even for ordinary survivors, simply surviving requires an immense amount of effort.

So-called dreams and pursuits are all unrealistic extravagant hopes.

If Chen Qing wanted to, even a pirate crew like the Demon Dragon Pirates would welcome her with open arms.

Strong people are welcome wherever they go.

Chen Qing had already made plans for what was to come and carried them out step by step, leaving her with almost no spare time.

But every plan eventually comes to an end. What should she do after that?

Striving for the pinnacle of mechanics? The ultimate power?

This is indeed a good option, but...

What are you thinking about?

Before anyone knew it, Gao Yue had already walked up to Chen Qing's side.

"I'm thinking about the future, like my dreams and what I want to pursue."

Chen Qing spoke the truth honestly.

"future?"

Gao Yue tilted her head and burst out laughing.

"You can actually laugh out loud—"

Gao Yue clutched her stomach and burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. She thought someone like Chen Qing would never worry about such a problem.

No, it should be, how could she have such a problem?

Is that strange?

Chen Qing tilted her head, mimicking Gao Yue's gesture, and asked.

"No, no, hahaha—it's just that, the impression you've always given us has been like this—"

"It's incredibly reliable and gives me a great sense of security. It's like having you around means I don't have to worry about anything, and there's nothing you can't do."

"Well, you know, it's a very grand figure. You're here, and we're here."

Gao Yue gestured exaggeratedly, making Chen Qing feel like he was about to fly to the sky.

But as soon as Chen Qing asked this question, Gao Yue immediately felt that Chen Qing was no different from them.

“I was no different from any of you.”

Chen Qing smiled helplessly; she was a person too.

"That's true, but your question is a bit like asking 'Why don't they eat cake?'"

Gao Yue couldn't help but sigh, she wished she had such troubles too.

However, for now, she should focus on building up her team and making a name for herself in the deep blue sea.

"I understand what you mean."

Gao Yue patted Chen Qing on the shoulder, then turned around and looked at the sea with Chen Qing.

The ocean is boundless and unfathomably deep.

This might sound a bit sentimental, but Chen Qing's confusion likely stems from a deeper pursuit.

For example, those pirates, what they pursued was either money, beauty, power, or status, or people's fear and awe of them...

But ultimately, what they pursue is freedom, unbridled freedom.

Those adventurers and explorers, what they pursue is the unknown, and the sense of accomplishment after encountering and solving the unknown.

Hunters... I don't know about the hunters of today, but the hunters of the earliest times must have been there to protect this world.

It was this world turned upside down by pirates, and the innocent civilians who died at their hands.

"Since you don't know what you're pursuing, then take a good look at the world, integrate into the world, and in the process, you will definitely find what you're pursuing."

"Let's set a small goal first, like dominating the deep blue seas or something."

Gao Yue winked at Chen Qing, thinking that Chen Qing must not have had many friends before.

She originally thought Chen Qing should be an orphan, but Chen He, who was already quite grown up, was still standing there.

Dominating the deep blue seas—a small goal.

Chen Qing raised an eyebrow; this target was really small.

Even the most powerful pirate crew in the Deep Blue Sea at present wouldn't dare to say that they can dominate the Deep Blue Sea, right?

The gentle sea breeze dispelled the confusion in Chen Qing's heart. Chen Qing squinted, crushed the cigarette, and stretched his body slightly.

So let's set this goal as our current small goal.

"Ah, I see the Ten-Colored Pirate Crew!"

Qiao Zhiyu suddenly shouted loudly. Chen Qing and Gao Yue looked forward and saw the pirate flag of the Ten Colors Pirate Gang in their sight.

As the sun sets and the crimson sunset glows, countless pirate crews sail on the sea, their pirate flags fluttering in the wind.

With pirates gathering in large numbers, the bounty hunters on the ships also found their targets.

"Thanks for the ride!"

Fire Monkey waved to Chen Qing, and a group of bounty hunters jumped onto the ship next to them by leaping over the railing.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

With a few leaps, Fire Monkey and his companions appeared on their target ship!

Behind them, the curses of other bounty hunters and pirates rang out.

You bunch of bastards, you think you're the fastest jumpers?

"These bounty hunters are really quite skilled."

Gao Yue sighed, realizing that she was still too weak. Without her extraordinary abilities, she probably couldn't even defeat an ordinary pirate.

He still needs to improve his physical fitness; otherwise, he should be about the same as Chen Qing now, right?

"You're not bad either."

Chen Qing smiled. Gao Yue's extraordinary abilities were very strong, making her very suitable for combat.

Just look at the trick she showed in the black market back then, and you'll know.

Extraordinary abilities are Gao Yue's own strength; they weren't stolen or robbed.

If your physical fitness is poor, just practice more.

"Let's get ready to board the ship."

Since Gao Yue and her group were on the ship of the Ten Colors Pirates, their cannons were definitely unusable, and Chen Qing had to be cautious even when using the mechanical spider bombs.

The critical parts of the ship must not be destroyed, as repair costs are very high.

The shipyard owner will definitely make dozens of times more money.

Under the control of the super-powered vines, the ship has already approached the ship of the Ten Colors Pirate Crew.

They shared the same thought as Chen Qing and the others: such a large ship.

They can switch places.

Both sides voluntarily abandoned the use of artillery, after all, ships are very valuable now.

The captain of the Ten-Colored Pirates, Red Mud, gave Chen Qing a cruel smile and silently opened his mouth.

I've accepted your boat.

No matter how strong a newcomer is, they can never compare to those who have been through countless battles.

Besides, their Ten-Colored Pirate Gang wasn't some nameless rabble.

Chen Qing drew the black knife from his waist, looked up and met Hong Ni's eyes without the slightest fear.

"I'll return those words to you."

As Chen Qing finished speaking, the black knife in her hand flashed with a cold light!

Chen Qing's figure appeared instantly on the ship of the Ten Colors Pirate Gang. She had her back to the pirates, and the blood on her blade slowly dripped onto the deck.

The body of a sailor pirate was cut in two and slowly separated.
