Chapter 17 Super Vine
After determining the direction the ship was heading, Chen Qing began his work for the day.
There's not much work to do today: make new sails and install them, modify parts of the ship, farm, and continue making machinery.
Dahlia was responsible for helping to clean the ship.
Yesterday, Chen Qing only did a simple cleaning of the boat, at least making it less smelly than before.
Although there were many things to do, it was nothing to Chen Qing and Daliya.
Grabbing the rope tied to the railing, Chen Qing swung from the ship's wheel platform to the opposite farmland platform, where he planned to plant some vegetables.
She also plans to convert the two rooms below the farm platform into vegetable gardens.
Once she creates the Super Shield Whale, she won't have to worry about the storms at sea destroying her farmland.
Chen Qing was very efficient at her work, and based on the foundation laid by the pirates, she didn't need to spend much time on it.
Add the light green quality soil from the wooden box, loosen the soil again, fertilize it, and then plant the seeds to slowly cultivate seedlings.
Chen Qing didn't know what the seeds that came with the farmer profession were; each one looked different and was oddly shaped. He could only wait until they grew to see what they were like.
The plants in this world are different from those in Chen Qing's original world. This packet of random seeds might give Chen Qing a pleasant surprise.
Next, the sails will be remade, and then replaced before going to bed.
Chen Qing carried out her work for the day in an orderly manner, one task after another, with her schedule fully packed.
Even so, she still managed to find time to go on private channels to buy and exchange some supplies.
Chen Qing received Qing Xian's message while he was renovating the room with a nail in his mouth and a hammer in his hand.
In the private chat channel, only Qingxian and one other middleman remained; the rest had all been eliminated by Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qing doesn't dislike middlemen; on the contrary, they often need them.
However, some middlemen are clearly taking advantage of people, which is going too far.
She asked Qingxian and the other two to help her collect some broken or damaged mechanical artifacts, and the two of them would stay on the trading channel for Chen Qing at all times.
As soon as a mechanical creation appeared, it was immediately captured by the two of them.
Furthermore, they also acquire these items from survivors, which requires a lot of time and exceptional bargaining skills.
In return, Chen Qing would pay them a batch of finished machinery at cost price to sell, and Chen Qing would not care how much they sold it for.
Qingxian's abilities are indeed very strong; she helped Chen Qing retrieve three scrapped machines and one semi-scrapped machine.
Moreover, their grade and quality were not low before they were scrapped. The highest grade Chen Qing has come into contact with so far is grade C, and the highest quality is deep blue.
However, the scrapped machine that Qingxian received was of light purple quality.
Chen Qing put down his tools and quickly traded the machinery from Qing Xian.
[Super-Powered Vines], [Handheld Flamethrower], [Miniature Biplane Mechanical Bird], and a half-destroyed [Underwater Explorer].
Super Vine is a support-type mechanical creature capable of performing many tasks; it belongs to the category of life-oriented machines.
If Chen Qing could repair it, it would save a lot of trouble.
The collection of scrapped machinery is progressing more slowly than Chen Qing had imagined.
Ultimately, it's because mechanics aren't among the most popular professions in this world.
There are many extraordinary abilities in this world, and even more professions.
There are scientists who study science, and there are magicians who study magic. Over a long period of time, the professions have become incredibly diverse.
Mechanic is just one of many professions; there are few people who do it, so naturally there are few finished products.
Although everyone knows that mechanics and their creations are very useful.
Unfortunately, there is a major problem with this: mechanical creations are too prone to breaking down and malfunctioning.
This is a world full of extraordinary abilities and creatures, and perhaps even gods.
In many special areas, mechanical creations simply cannot be used; they cannot overcome the limitations.
Moreover, training mechanics is very difficult, as it relies heavily on talent and can take anywhere from several years to several decades.
Moreover, if mechanics have mechanical creations, don't mages have magical creations?
Of course, both of them evolved from the original superhumans, and ultimately lead to the same goal.
Those with extraordinary abilities are always professionals, but not all professionals are those with extraordinary abilities.
All of the above factors combined have led to the awkward position of mechanics, who belong to the basic and middle-level workforce.
However, there are almost none above that level.
Chen Qing didn't know much about these reasons; he had only been in this world for three days at most.
Therefore, the number and variety of scrapped machinery that the survivors possess are far fewer than Chen Qing had imagined.
These four were carefully selected by Qingxian.
There is a considerable amount of mechanical waste, mostly consisting of mechanical parts, and the types of parts are limited.
It is clearly unlikely that Chen Qing can collect enough materials from the survivors.
She had to go to the territory of the indigenous forces; only by making contact with them could she gather more information.
Chen Qing inspected the four machines. The underwater explorer was a D-level creation, and it should be able to be used smoothly after replacing a few parts and the energy core.
As for the other three...
The handheld flamethrowers were mostly broken; we could only disassemble them and take out the usable parts.
The key components of the mechanical bird and the super-powered vines were not damaged. Chen Qing should be able to search her junkyard and try to repair them.
Especially the super-powered vines, which are mechanical tools that only those with extraordinary abilities can use.
It can complete any task within its capabilities as long as an order is given.
It can handle everything from cleaning and maneuvering boats to cooking and laundry, even with children.
As for mechanical birds, they are generally used for short- to medium-distance delivery and message relay, and they have a certain attack capability.
Chen Qing looked at the mechanical bird and flamethrower in front of her, thinking that perhaps she could combine the two.
She quickly finished her work and then took a few machines into her workshop to start working diligently.
The entire basement floor was dismantled by Chen Qing and turned into a mechanical workshop, where the mechanical ants were still working diligently.
The repaired parts filled most of the room, neatly arranged and categorized.
The person who made it must be a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Chen Qing entered the studio and stayed there for more than a day and a night, hardly ever leaving the studio.
Except for the time when the ship needs to anchor, lower the sails, and stop sailing, it will set sail again the next day after adjusting the rudder.
This continued until midnight on the fourth day of the game, or more accurately, until the fifth day.
Dahlia rushed to knock on the door, looking extremely anxious.
"Oh no! Oh no! Sister Chen Qing! Pirates are coming!!"
"There are so many pirates!"
