Chapter 106 Desert Island No. 266
When Chen Qing arrived at Desert Island No. 266 from Emerald Island Port, it was already close to evening.
The Fire Monkeys and their crew on Island 266 had been waiting for a long time, and they had already repelled two waves of gem hunters who wanted to take over their territory.
Because of the incident caused by Aquamarine, Chen Qing did not recruit gem hunters on Emerald Island. Instead, he entrusted the bounty hunters of Fire Monkey's group to find suitable gem hunters, and they would temporarily join Chen Qing's bounty team.
Under the onslaught of money, Fire Monkey and her friends did indeed attract quite a few experienced gem hunters.
Chen Qing's asking price was not low, and the specific details would have to be discussed when she arrived at the deserted island No. 266.
She needs to test which method of cheating is actually effective.
The system must have some limitations; it restricts the acquisition of points. How could it not be free from restrictions on cheating?
There are limits to the points you can earn for white, green, and blue gems: 100,000 for white, 1 million for green, and 5 million for blue.
There are no point limits for higher quality gems.
This number is difficult for ordinary survivors to achieve, but if you join some survivor organizations or factions, then...
In short, the final ranking competition will come down to the acquisition of high-quality gems.
"Chen Qing."
On Desert Island 266, Fire Monkey and her friends have built several temporary structures out of wood and cloth for rest.
The island had just experienced a gem hurricane, leaving it barren and desolate.
They spotted Chen Qing's boat as soon as it got close.
After mooring the boat near the shore, Chen Qing stepped over the railing and jumped from the boat onto the beach of the deserted island.
At this time, Fire Monkey and the others were leisurely preparing dinner.
The gem hunters caught a lot of fake fish from the sea and grilled them directly.
"Come and have some with us."
Fire Monkey beckoned to Chen Qing, who nodded and took out a bag of goldfish from his spatial storage, throwing it to Fire Monkey.
"Deposit".
Fire Monkey reached out and caught it. The moment she touched it, she knew how many goldfish were inside, and she immediately beamed with joy.
Aren't these hunters risking their lives just for money?
Working for Chen Qing will earn you even more. Not to mention, as a mechanic, Chen Qing's mechanical creations will definitely need their help.
With mechanical bombs, underwater mechanical equipment, and even mechanical bodyguards, life can be better protected.
Fire Monkey has a good impression of Chen Qing; he's reliable, and that's certainly true.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone around recruiting experienced gem hunters for Chen Qing as soon as he received her message.
Specific skills are irrelevant, but extensive experience is essential.
At first, Fire Monkey wanted to recruit Chen Qing into their bounty hunter team, but after seeing how things developed, they decided to give up.
Chen Qing is not like them at all. Instead of trying to win her over, they should just latch onto her.
Chen Qing's temper is much better than those two idiots, Shuang Wei and Fei Huo.
After having a meal of grilled fish with Fire Monkey and the others, Chen Qing took all the assembled mechanical creations out of his spatial storage.
Heavy robotic arms, modified automated fishing nets and automatic fishing rods, ...
There are many of them, and the mini factory is still producing them continuously.
After dinner, Chen Qing led the gem hunters to begin the [cheating] test.
Divided into several teams, there were members of Chen Qing's bounty hunter group, gem hunters who brought along the Explosive Battle Rabbit and other mechanical creations of Chen Qing, and hunters responsible for catching live fake fish...
Fire Monkey recruited nearly a hundred gem hunters, who were managed by Fire Monkey and a few others.
It took Chen Qing a considerable amount of time to test before he finally got the results.
The only way to make these people's points belong to her is for her or her mechanical creations to personally hunt down the Treasure Fish and the Fake Fish.
The system does not concern itself with the specific methods and processes involved.
This gives survivors a lot of room to exploit loopholes.
Especially those former official forces, the energy they can gather is incomparable to that of a lone survivor like Chen Qing.
Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the beach, quietly beginning to ponder his strategy.
The gem hunters have already begun diving into the water to retrieve the treasure-hunting fish and the fake fish.
Chen Qing offered them the following terms: he would buy the gems from them at a price higher than the market price, and they would also receive a separate one-time payment.
The higher the quality of the gemstone, the higher the purchase price, and Chen Qing will bear all the mechanical costs involved.
However, Chen Qing needs to kill the live Treasure-Hunting Fish and the fake fish, or have her mechanical creations kill them to retrieve the gems. If she encounters gems hidden in the sand and soil, her mechanical creations must also retrieve them.
It is quite difficult.
This task was entrusted to Fire Monkey. Chen Qing didn't care how much profit Fire Monkey would take; she just wanted the task to be completed successfully.
The transaction, which seemed to be entirely detrimental to Chen Qing, would result in him losing a great deal of money.
However, what Chen Qing wanted wasn't what money could buy; she wanted the rewards from the leaderboard.
Just thinking about getting the rewards on the leaderboard isn't enough.
These gem hunters can only help Chen Qing get the 6.1 million points, with a maximum fluctuation of 300,000 to 500,000.
As for the rest, Chen Qing will have to figure it out himself.
For example... by leveraging the power of the indigenous people.
This is not a good solution. Chen Qing doesn't have many Bombardment Rabbits left. After each team received one, she only had six left.
To maximize their profits, Chen Qing also wanted to pair these Explosive Battle Rabbits with Super Shield Whale, Water Covered Healing Butterfly, and Spider Bomb.
The water-covered butterfly treatment was also created by Chen Qing, mainly thanks to the assistant bee.
It possesses both biological and mechanical therapeutic functions, capable of treating humans as well as performing simple repairs on machinery.
However, the quantity was limited, and Chen Qing didn't have enough parts. The ones she had were either too advanced or the materials weren't suitable for making parts.
Chen Qing equipped some teams that dived into the mid-ocean and deep sea with water-covered therapeutic butterflies or super-shielded whales.
Meanwhile, mechanical creations such as robotic arms and modified automated fishing net machines are responsible for retrieval of gems from shallow and mid-sea areas.
Because of the gem storm, many gems are hidden in the sand and soil layers on the seabed.
Some are buried very deep, making it impossible for ordinary gem hunters to identify them. In addition, many treasure-hunting fish will lure people to their doom.
However, Chen Qing's use of machinery can significantly reduce the casualty rate. Moreover, if any machinery is damaged, Chen Qing can immediately know where the Treasure Fish is located, and the gems carried by the Treasure Fish are at least of green quality or higher.
In the later stages of the salvage event, there is a high probability that purple quality items will appear.
But at this point, it's time to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
As night fell, Chen Qing, who had been working with the assistant bee to create mechanical artifacts, finally received a notification from the system that her ranking had advanced to the top 1000.
The system encouraged her to keep trying...
