Chapter 75 A-grade Red Quality Giant Sea Defense Construction

Interior Minister?

The Island Lord's Residence?

Chen Qing had no impression of the almost invisible island lord's mansion on Sapphire Island, only that they were slightly more humane than other forces.

Only a little bit.

However, out of politeness, Chen Qing had the super-powered vines release the housekeeper, tidied himself up briefly, and then went out to see her.

Despite Chen Qing's ship hovering in the sky, he hasn't had a moment's peace these past few days.

Who can resist the allure of 100,000 goldfish?

Not to mention the other bounties from Moana's faction.

The pirates and hunters who remained on the island relentlessly pursued and attempted to kill Chen Qing.

“Miss Chen Qing? I am Doro, the housekeeper of the Sapphire Island Lord’s Mansion. Lord Mazan would like to invite you to the Lord’s Mansion.”

Before Chen Qing came out, Doro quickly tidied her disheveled appearance and said politely.

"Island owner?"

"Yes, it's about this gem storm."

Dorothy revealed a little bit of information to Chen Qing, enough for him to know.

She believed that Chen Qing was a sensible person.

After all, even with such a huge bombshell as Daliya, Chen Qing was still able to swagger around without revealing a single word about it.

"good."

Chen Qing did not refuse. She was on someone else's island, so what right did she have to refuse?

Moreover, Chen Qing also wanted to borrow some books from them. The island lord's mansion should have a lot of books, right?

Dorothy arrived in a mechanical flying fish, something the mechanics at the lord's manor had made out of nothing.

Upon seeing this mechanical flying fish, Chen Qing's desire to study it was immediately aroused.

"May I see this flying fish?"

Chen Qing asked.

Dorothy smiled kindly and readily agreed. She knew the nature of these mechanics; they were always very curious.

This flying fish was personally manufactured by the engineering and mechanical master of the island lord's mansion. Even if Chen Qing were to disassemble it for research, she probably wouldn't be able to fully understand it.

However, Dorothy did not expect that Chen Qing would have mastered every detail of the mechanical flying fish as soon as he got his hands on it.

Copying is not difficult, but Chen Qing doesn't have any of the materials. However, she can make a low-end version.

This mechanical fish is quite fun.

Its appearance is somewhat similar to the flying fish of the Ten-Colored Pirate Crew that Gao Yue took away.

"let's go."

Chen Qing withdrew his hand and nodded politely to Doro.

"This flying fish was made by Lady Xia Li, the master engineer of the island lord's mansion. Lady Xia Li has a very good personality; she really likes diligent students,"

Doro opened the Flying Fish's control panel and, while leading Chen Qing to the Island Lord's Mansion, reminded Chen Qing of some things.

As a 32-year-old mechanic, Xia Li is definitely among the top mechanics in the Deep Blue Sea.

Dorothy had no idea how terrifying Chen Qing's talent was; she was genuinely trying to warn him out of kindness.

The mechanic role is very talent-dependent; having a mentor would make things much easier.

Not only will you have someone to teach you, but the teacher will also reimburse you for all expenses. You will also have access to many precious materials that you would never normally have access to.

Dorothy knew that Chen Qing wasn't short of money, but she probably lacked systematic knowledge and connections.

This is exactly what Xia Li owns.

Dorothy's special reminder to Chen Qing was not without its own ulterior motives; she knew that Chen Qing came from a background of seafaring wanderers.

Sapphire Island was the first island Chen Qing landed on.

As a very talented mechanic, Shirley can't stay on Sapphire Island forever; she will leave Sapphire Island in another year.

If Chen Qing could become Xia Li's student, then perhaps they could discuss with Chen Qing the possibility of her replacing Xia Li as the island's resident mechanic.

They are treated very well.

Along the way, Doro kept telling Chen Qing, rather subtly, about the generous benefits of being a resident mechanic on Sapphire Island, and how wonderful it would be to become Xia Li's student.

Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone.

Chen Qing simply smiled politely at Doro's recommendation, and soon they arrived at the island lord's mansion amidst one person's incessant chatter and the other's quiet demeanor.

The Sapphire Island Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area, but the buildings look quite ordinary. It is located in a remote corner of the island, directly opposite the Machinery Recycling Plant.

When Dorothy led Chen Qing to the island lord's office, Xia Li happened to come out of the room.

Xia Li was a woman with a cold appearance, wearing a vest and trousers with many pockets.

"Lord Xia Li!"

Dorothy's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Li, and she enthusiastically introduced Xia Li and Chen Qing to each other.

"This is Miss Chen Qing. Although she's a newcomer, she's a very talented new mechanic!"

“Miss Chen Qing, this is the Lady Xia Li I was telling you about.”

"Hello."

Xia Li nodded to Chen Qing, her expression indifferent.

"I'm leaving now."

This was said to Dorothy, and after saying it, Shirley left.

Dorothy touched her nose sheepishly; Shirley wasn't usually like this.

I'm feeling a bit irritable, probably because of the protective shield.

But Doro couldn't explain it to Chen Qing right now, so she just opened the door for him.

Inside the room, Marzaan was waiting for Chen Qing.

"The matter is quite urgent, so I'll just say it directly."

Marzaan has a very straightforward personality. After inviting Chen Qing to sit down, she got straight to the point.

Chen Qing also disliked roundabout ways, and Mazan's personality suited her better.

"This time, the Gemstone Hurricane will be ten times more dangerous than before. With the island's current defenses, it is simply not enough to withstand it."

"Once the Gemstone Hurricane breaches the defenses, the entire island will be caught in the hurricane and utterly destroyed."

"I called you here for this."

Marzaan handed over a simple map, which Chen Qing glanced at.

A massive, Class A, red-quality maritime defensive fortification.

"..."

"You think too highly of me."

Chen Qing pushed the blueprints back; with her skills, she could at most do odd jobs in this construction project.

A massive A-grade red-quality defensive fortification is not even in the same league as an A-grade red-quality prop or mechanical creature.

Although Chen Qing was quite confident in her abilities, she was not arrogant.

Marzaan specifically invited her here; it certainly wasn't for her to do odd jobs.

Even if he was only involved in menial tasks, Chen Qing would be very satisfied with such a massive defensive fortification and would gladly accept the assignment.

But if it were just menial work, Marzan wouldn't have bothered to bring her to the island lord's mansion to discuss it.

No mechanic would refuse.

"Whether this project succeeds or fails, all the professionals involved will receive a generous reward. Even if it fails, we will not hold you responsible in any way."

"If we fail, you can simply tell others that we have this blueprint."

Marzaan's sincerity is evident.

This was a chance find from Sapphire Island and Emerald Island. They kept this information very secret, and they would never have revealed it if it weren't for this gem hurricane.

They simply didn't have the ability to protect this blueprint.

This will definitely attract the attention of the entire deep blue sea and even the crimson sea.
