Chapter 149 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
With the Gem event over, it truly is the end for many survivors.
But for some survivors, it's just the beginning.
Chen Qing, in particular, will face countless assassinations.
I received all the rewards: four items in total, plus 10,000 goldfish.
Chen Qing directly bound the soul map to herself, and for the combat skill scroll, she chose the weapon skill.
[Rank A - Azure Sky Rift (Gold): The blade's edge seems to cleave the heavens and cleave space itself; each strike resonates with the very fabric of the universe! Its power is boundless!]
Chen Qing put the ship-raising scroll into his spatial storage. This scroll was exactly what the survivors and the natives wanted most.
Unfortunately, Chen Qing is not available yet.
As for that mysterious prop, it's quite interesting.
[Mechanical Engineering Slot Machine (Special): The allure of slot machines lies in the potential for huge gains with a small bet, but with a high chance of losing nine out of ten times.]
This prop is quite interesting; Chen Qing can spend a fixed amount of money and a fixed number of times each day to play gambling games.
The slot machine has seven symbols and seven slots, each representing a different type of mechanical resource, including but not limited to mechanical creations, mechanical blueprints, and mechanical skills...
Pulling the lever and repeating the card slot pattern the number of times represents the quality of the prize. There are seven levels in total, each corresponding to a different level.
If there is no repeating pattern, one of the seven pattern resources will be randomly selected.
The slot machine offers seven chances to participate each day, starting with a goldfish. The first time you play, you get one goldfish; the second time, ten goldfish; the third time, one hundred goldfish, and so on.
However, based on the description on the item that "nine out of ten bets result in a loss," this thing will most likely be a white-quality mechanical item.
If it's blueprints and skills, that's fine, but if it's resources, ores, or parts, then it's definitely a huge loss.
This thing really tests a person's willpower and self-control.
The supplies it can provide are not something that can be easily purchased with money.
The most fatal thing is that this slot machine can even generate black-quality items!
Even disregarding black quality items, Chen Qing would make a fortune if he managed to get just one red quality item.
The price she needs to pay may only be a small amount of money.
Faced with such a fatal temptation, Chen Qing simply threw it into his spatial storage and didn't touch it.
For Chen Qing, the most important thing right now is to get treatment, obtain the customized ship, and leave the Gem Sea.
With the leaderboard event concluded, Chen Qing remained in the waters near Sapphire Island, waiting for Feng Ying and Emerald to reunite.
Meanwhile, Fire Monkey and the others were waiting for Chen Qing on the island.
Of course, they haven't considered taking action against Chen Qing yet. Chen Qing's ability to surpass those pirate hunters and professional forces to reach the top of the rankings must be due to her strength, and they don't need to provoke her.
Even if they were given the items, they wouldn't be able to keep them.
The group waited patiently on the island for more than a day. The gem hunters were getting impatient and began to wonder if Chen Qing was also planning to run away like the survivors.
They finally got what they'd been waiting for... the super-powered vines, and the staff from Sapphire Island.
Chen Qing received a share of the profits from the Sapphire Island Casino. This share, combined with the profits from the Barbaro Caravan's floating casino, was enough to pay the gem hunters' fees, with a little left over.
The gem hunters breathed a sigh of relief after successfully receiving their payment; following Chen Qing was a gamble.
"Why didn't Chen Qing come by himself?"
A gem hunter muttered something under his breath.
"Are you not injured?"
Another gem hunter joked.
What is said with good intentions may be taken to heart by the listener.
The group of gem hunters, now bounty hunters again, exchanged glances and silently accepted their bounties.
They seemed to have scattered in different directions, but after many twists and turns, most of the bounty hunters regrouped in a tavern.
Where's the Fire Monkey?
She said she wouldn't participate.
Just as Chen Qing had feared, the group of bounty hunters had their eyes on her.
If Chen Qing hadn't been injured, everything would have been fine for everyone. But once they discovered she was injured, then...
However, these bounty hunters are not the most important thing; the important thing is what happens once they make their move.
Their actions sent a signal to those people that Chen Qing was now a piece of fat meat on a chopping board, and anyone could take a bite. Who knows, she might end up in their hands.
Meanwhile, Chen Qing had a premonition about the bounty hunters' behavior; bounty hunters were like hyenas.
They go wherever it's advantageous.
Now that the commission between the two parties has ended, even if they take action against Chen Qing, no one can criticize them.
Chen Qing's decision not to go to the island was absolutely correct. After reuniting with Feng Ying Emerald and Super Vine, Chen Qing sat quietly in the studio and began a new round of drug preparation.
The goods Chen Qing bought from the trading channel were enough for him to make more attempts.
The gem event rankings have ended, but their impact is far from over.
Not to mention the chat channels, even the survivors in Chen Qing's private channels began to probe him.
Regardless of whether Chen Qing pays attention or not, some survivors will still try to do so.
Provocation, interception.
The only thing Chen Qing could do was to use overwhelming force to suppress and resolve these troublemakers.
Only by killing enough people and being ruthless enough, using blood and lives as a warning, will people dare not make any further moves!
The first wave of hunters will arrive soon.
The people who came were, to a large extent, old acquaintances of Chen Qing.
The Reno family pirate crew.
That pirate crew was bound by blood ties; the entire crew shared the same bloodline.
They arrived with great force, with four large pirate ships, a scale that ordinary pirate groups could never match.
The head of the Reno family is Geliel Thyssen Reno, and behind her are her husbands and her unmarried children.
Her children would leave the main ship once they got married.
The pirates of the Reno family were all very tall and had fierce-looking appearances, exuding an extremely strong pirate aura.
Their ships, like battle fortresses at sea, were incredibly imposing!
Following Chen Qing's instructions, the super-powered vines and the mechanical fish king silently scanned the Renault family's ships and performed a simulated copy.
Their boat was quite a reference point for Chen Qing.
As for their threat to Chen Qing, it was practically nonexistent.
It may be impolite to say this, but it is indeed the truth.
Chen Qing wasn't afraid of them when he first arrived at Sapphire Island, let alone now.
The enormous mechanical sea monster soared into the sky from the deep sea and crashed heavily onto their ship, much to the horror of the Renault family!
