Chapter 85 How about I become your disciple?

If you treat this blueprint as a machine, all the problems will be solved instantly.

"We can use the Saltira ore to rebuild a new wall on the inner wall to address these two weak points in our defenses!"

A construction mechanic's eyes lit up, but her words were immediately refuted by Xia Li.

“Saltira ore won’t work; it clashes with the material of the energy pipes hidden in the inner wall, which will definitely cause unstable energy transmission.”

"And we don't have that here."

"A shimmering gold metal would be more suitable."

"Gold can also stabilize energy transport in energy pipelines."

"I remember Qu Sizhen, you have one in your collection, right?"

The mechanic whose name was called by Xia Li instinctively covered his spatial items. Why was he eyeing her private collection?

However, under the watchful eyes of Xia Li and Brown, Qu Sizhen had no choice but to give up her treasured possessions.

Forget it, given the current situation... I'll have Qinglan return it to her later.

With this starting point, other mechanics from different schools shared their thoughts: if they couldn't change the blueprints, couldn't they solve the mechanical problems?

Leaving the potential threats alive is fine; it can catch intruders off guard.

For example, there's that hidden entrance, a part that can't be filled in on the blueprints no matter what. That entrance was originally meant to connect to the refuge area.

The refuge section was demolished, but it was preserved. All the components of the wall passage next to it are from the same system as the defense system, but it is from the same system as the refuge system.

It's a weak point.

To change it, we need to redesign all the metal parts. It's a complex problem that can't be solved by simply patching up a door.

However, none of them had that ability, so they had no choice but to leave this weakness unaddressed.

Now, they can easily place a large number of heavy weapons and mechanical creatures in this entrance.

Simply adding a small room inside the passageway will not affect the original blueprints at all; on the contrary, it will allow us to utilize the energy pipes planned on the original blueprints.

By deploying a large number of troops to guard it, this weak point was instantly turned into a trap.

Following this line of thought, all the problems seemed to be solved, and the mechanics had a burst of inspiration.

A brand new fourth version of the blueprint was born a day later thanks to the combined efforts of all the mechanics!

Most excitingly, this new drawing received mysterious recognition.

[Grade A, Dark Gold Quality, Heavy Marine Defense Fortification Blueprints]

Only at this moment did the mechanics of different schools begin to feel something real.

They actually created a new A-grade gold-quality blueprint?!

Did they do this?

Even with a red-quality blueprint as a base, this is something that not every type of mechanic can do.

In the past, they wouldn't have even dared to dream of this!

Everyone received a reward.

As the one who spearheaded the modification of this blueprint, Chen Qing naturally received an extraordinary reward.

For Chen Qing, the best reward would naturally be a passive skill book, or something related to mechanics.

However, no one revealed what kind of reward they had received from the mysterious figure.

Their most important task now is to get this defensive fortification in place.

The gratitude the mechanics felt towards Chen Qing was beyond words. This blueprint modification allowed them to glimpse the next stage of their mechanic career.

Cangming Mechanic, a mechanic belonging to the sea.

This is a title that only mechanics who have received mysterious recognition can obtain.

Of course, their respective schools of thought remain.

Mechanics in the deep sea almost always stop at the stage of a particular school of mechanics, while those in the Azure Sea only travel in the Crimson Sea.

Unexpectedly, they have now glimpsed the path to this stage in the deep blue sea.

We have to thank Chen Qing for all of this!

"Anyway, my teacher has already returned to the sea, so why don't I become your disciple, Chen Qing?"

Qu Sizhen's sudden voice was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence, all the mechanics went wild!

"No way, do you even have any shame?!"

"Chen Qing is an intermediate-level mechanic, how dare you, a mere mechanic of a different school, say such a thing!"

"that is!"

Qu Sizhen didn't care what others said. Would Chen Qing's achievements stop at being a Cangming Mechanic?

Honestly, when Qu Sizhen asked Chen Qing to be her teacher, she was afraid that Chen Qing wouldn't accept her.

After all, she was the oldest and least talented among this group.

As a mechanic who doesn't have particularly high talent, Qu Sizhen knows all too well the importance of talent.

Without talent, if she had a good teacher, she might still have a chance to break through to the level of Cangming Mechanic.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing's answer was naturally a refusal.

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of taking on students. However, if it's about exchanging ideas on mechanical matters, you're welcome to come to me."

Chen Qing declined Qu Sizhen's request; the relationship between student and teacher was a very serious one.

Just like the master and apprentice relationship in ancient times, it was a lifelong bond.

Chen Qing didn't think she had that ability yet, and even if she did, she wouldn't have such thoughts.

Her tone was gentle, but Qu Sizhen sensed an undeniable argument in it.

What a pity.

Qu Sizhen sighed silently in her heart, and the other mechanics couldn't help but feel a secret regret after hearing Chen Qing's answer.

It's probably because they're too old.

The mechanics of different schools of thought were secretly considering whether they could find a particularly talented child among their own children.

Being an apprentice is better than being a student.

At Chen Qing's age and level, let alone independently modifying A-grade blueprints, it would be difficult for them to even independently manufacture a D-grade mechanical artifact.

Although Chen Qing declined the idea of ​​taking on students, he was still willing to continue communicating with them.

"Let's assign tasks."

Xia Li, who had been silent all along, said calmly, "Chen Qing's path will definitely not be limited to the deep blue sea."

Even if she were to take on students... there are plenty of exceptionally talented children in the Crimson Sea who would line up to be her students.

The mechanics immediately became serious; their top priority was to get the defensive structure in place.

Once the defensive fortifications are completed, they will likely gain a significant amount of professional experience.

The mechanics thought about it carefully and decided that they still had to give Chen Qing a gift, and it had to be a big one.

However, before they could even rummage through their spatial items, Chen Qing took on his mission and left.

The more they looked at Chen Qing, the more they liked him. He was steady and reliable. How could he not be their student or teacher?

We need to find a way to build relationships.

Or... how about we pick a couple from the younger generation and give them to Chen Qing as his mistresses?

Those little brats of hers are definitely not good enough for her; they'd be barely good enough as lovers, but it would be best if they could have a child with Chen Qing's bloodline.

In this extraordinary and mysterious world, anything is possible.

Chen Qing, who had already gone far away, had no idea that she was being targeted by various parties. If she had known, she would have immediately distanced herself from these mechanics.
