Chapter 189 Sailor Rabbit, Clockwork Bay
Those members of the Survivor Observation Team must possess related extraordinary abilities, just like Zhao Fuli's culinary-related extraordinary abilities.
This was something Chen Qing suddenly thought of on his way to Clockwork Bay.
These people have this kind of talent, which is undoubtedly a disaster for those who want to play dumb to take advantage of others.
They uncovered a survivor who was hidden among ordinary survivors, seemingly an ordinary survivor but actually a high-level professional.
Among survivors, the number of highly skilled professionals can be counted on one hand.
Moreover, the professions were basically not repeated. This unlucky guy was the survivor who bought the profession scroll that first appeared in the survivor trading channel, the musician profession scroll.
She used to be a singer at a major theater, was divorced and childless, and had a bunch of other messy information, which the Survivor Observation Team even dug up.
From the moment the Gemstone Observation Group was established and came into the public eye, their presence was felt in every news story that made the headlines of the Deep Blue Daily.
Chen Qing also suffered greatly as a result.
She didn't intend to play dumb to outsmart others, but there were some things Chen Qing wanted to keep secret. However, once the Survivor Observation Group found out, it would be the same as all the Survivors knowing.
The members of the Survivor Observation Group have no interest in any treasure; they are only dedicated to reporting all the news in the world.
Such determination is admirable, however... to Chen Qing and her team, these people from the Survivor Observation Group are nothing but troublemakers!
It's like a stirring stick in plain porridge.
On the way to Clockwork Bay, Chen Qing and his assistant Bee assembled seven factory production lines.
It's not the size of the initial mini-factory; it's the size of a normal factory.
Although that mini factory was miniature, its core equipment was of higher quality than the core equipment Chen Qing had dismantled on Rust Island.
Most of the factories on Rusty Island are classified as green quality, with only the Rose family possessing a small number of blue quality factories and two purple quality factories.
Chen Qing reserved one of the purple-quality factories for Chen Cheng, half of the green ones for her, and she packed up the rest to take with her.
Chen Qing quickly assigned tasks to the seven factories that had already been installed, assigning them to be responsible for the beginner's three-piece set, two mechanical spider bombs, and two mini rabbits, respectively.
Chen Qing tested the sailor's scroll he had previously retrieved from the special supplies box and confirmed that it could be used on mechanical creations.
It might be because it came from a special supply crate.
Mini Bunny transforms into Sailor Bunny after using a job change scroll.
This is quite friendly to many solo players.
Not every lone survivor is a Mechanic, and not every lone Mechanic survivor is Chen Qing.
A whole box of one hundred job change scrolls—even if Chen Qing tried to sell them, he probably wouldn't be able to get a hundred goldfish at most.
However, applying that same principle to Mini Bunny, turning it into Sailor Bunny, doesn't simply mean doubling the price.
Mini Bunny already functions as a combatant and some miscellaneous errand boy, and now with the addition of sailor's errand skills, it can do even more.
Some of the mechanical creations sold by the Mechanical Association and Mechanical Family of Treasure Sea also function as low-level professionals.
For example, cooks, farmers, and so on, including sailors.
However, these mechanical creations have no professions or skills.
Like Chen Qing's Berserker Rabbit Hunter, it has skills, but no class.
Occupations are unique to intelligent beings, and they have the potential for growth.
However, if you choose to pursue a career in mechanical creation, the potential for growth is somewhat diminished.
Mechanical Rabbit
Occupation: Sailor (Lv1/10) (Maximum)
Grade: Green
Grade: D
Attributes: Attack - D, Defense - D, Speed - E, Durability - E, Energy - F
Description: A mechanical rabbit whose profession is sailor.
Skill - Odd Jobs (E Rank): ...
Skill - Close Combat (Rank D): ...
Review: Good heavens, it's actually a great apprentice sailor! Do sailors have apprentices? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Mechanical creations are not human beings after all. They do not possess intelligence like humans, and even if they have a profession, their growth is limited.
Except for mechanical hearts.
A Mini Bunny with a professional job is more intelligent than a Mini Bunny without a professional job.
Even without the owner's instructions, it will automatically perform tasks within its professional scope.
Simply put, it has become more discerning.
It might be even more intelligent than the super-powered vines.
Keep in mind that Mini Bunny is only a D-rank, while the original Super Vine is a B-rank.
The only difference is a single Apprentice Sailor Job Change Scroll.
Having discovered another good way to make money, Chen Qing needed to calculate the cost of the job change scroll and the Mini Rabbit.
Chen Qing used to keep Mini Rabbit for personal use and hadn't really calculated the costs. Now that Mini Rabbit is going to be sold as merchandise, Chen Qing needs to consider the cost.
Hopefully, the indigenous people won't find these things in the special supply crates.
[Chen Qing: Selling a Sailor Rabbit, feedback on user experience is required.]
[Innocent and Sexy Female Cockroach: Sailor Rabbit?! Do you have Sailor Cockroaches?]
[Chen Qing is my only sister: Sister, what good stuff have you gotten your hands on this time?]
[Zhao Fuli: This is obviously a mechanical creation made by Chen Qingxin. Do you have a Chef Rabbit? I'll offer a thousand gold coins.]
Since it was all money from the Demon Dragon Pirates, Zhao Fuli didn't feel the pinch at all.
This money is all the compensation she deserves!
Sitting in the kitchen, Zhao Fuli sighed deeply. If only the Deep Blue Sea had a super chef ship.
I heard from Shangjia that there used to be one, but that ship went to the Crimson Sea with the caravan.
[Lu Yiji: Has a large ship, one person, intermediate combat profession, bounty hunter, feedback available.]
Among the numerous bids in the private chat channel, Lu Yiji precisely hit the mark regarding Chen Qing's needs.
[Chen Qing: Private message.]
[Zhao Fuli: Qing, sis, really, consider Chef Rabbit, I believe in you.]
Chen Qing: We'll see.
Immediately, the chat channel was filled with Zhao Fuli's wails.
Chen Qing didn't look; she was already chatting privately with Lu Yiji.
Lu Yiji's situation is indeed very suitable as a subject of observation for Sailor Rabbit.
Although Lu Yiji owns a large ship, as a lone wolf hunter, she's all alone on board, and even cleaning is a huge challenge...
Although he also created mechanical objects, Lu Yiji was quite bad at them.
She couldn't afford the expensive ones.
As a newly minted bounty hunter, Lu Yiji was quite poor; the ship she was currently on was one she had stolen.
It was stolen from pirates, who had just robbed a merchant ship.
If Sailor Rabbit's effects are as Chen Qing predicted, then Chen Qing has single-handedly driven down the price of Super Vine, benefiting the entire Deep Blue Sea.
Sailor Rabbit is definitely not as expensive as Super Vine.
Chen Qing casually set the price of Sailor Rabbit at 1 gold, as she mainly needed Lu Yiji's follow-up feedback.
This price is practically free, but Lu Yiji has to cooperate with her to test the various functions of the Sailor Rabbit.
If Sailor Rabbit's performance doesn't exceed expectations, then Chen Qing will try to set up a factory that specializes in manufacturing apprentice job scrolls.
Chen Qing originally planned to set up a facility responsible for mass-producing apprentice sailor profession scrolls.
Yes, the recipe for this career scroll can be mass-produced on an assembly line.
However, the factory did not produce the correct product.
Professional scroll making requires specialized scroll machinery factories, and all the factories Chen Qing owns are assembly line factories that manufacture machinery.
Correspondingly, there are also pharmaceutical machinery factories, food machinery factories, ...
There are many types of factories, and their prices vary depending on their rarity.
Chen Qing plans to go to Clockwork Bay to see if he can purchase these mechanical equipment.
She could try to modify it herself, but that would take too much time, and she wasn't sure how long it would take.
The remaining mini-factories, controlled by the Mechanical Heart, are used to produce the three Water-Covered Healing Butterflies.
After finalizing the Sailor Rabbit deal, Chen Qing continued installing the assembly line.
This time, Chen Qing installed a harvesting line for the cultivated plants in the plant area, which he modified using a mechanical assembly line.
The price of cooking fruits is very low, making them much more down-to-earth compared to those extraordinary or professional items that sell for huge quantities like goldfish.
Its price is in copper shells, and Chen Qing plans to sell one for 15 copper shells.
The price isn't high, but cooking fruits are consumables that are needed every day.
The population of the deep blue sea is quite large, and those professionals and superhumans have large appetites, so one grain is definitely not enough for each person.
Moreover, this price is affordable even for ordinary people.
At 15 copper shells, not counting the extraordinary soil and other ingredients, but only the cost of fertilizer, Chen Qing can earn about 11 copper shells.
A single culinary herb can produce dozens or even hundreds of fruits at the same time. The more Chen Qing sells, the lower the cost of the extraordinary soil and mechanical production line will be.
Besides, the machinery was stolen by Chen Qing, so the cost of the mechanical assembly line shouldn't be considered; it should be calculated based on her labor costs and the mechanical spider bombs.
These costs were quickly recouped.
The first batch of cooking fruits will be available soon. Chen Qing spent 20,000 goldfish to buy special nutritional agents and fertilizers to quickly promote the growth of cooking grass seeds and plant them throughout the cooking grass park.
She plans to sell it on the chat channel first; it's like a boxed lunch.
There should be a lot of sales.
The most crucial point is that the fruit and seeds of the herb are separate.
Chen Qing wasn't worried at all about the leakage of the cooking grass seeds, as she possessed them exclusively.
They won't get the seeds unless they overturn the mechanical ship.
However, there is one issue Chen Qing needs to consider: the taste.
Not all survivors like Dragon's cuisine, let alone the natives.
But forget it, Chen Qing won't consider making any more improvements; spending those extraordinary points will suffice.
At this price, they shouldn't ask for too much; they should just get used to it.
How much does Chen Qingcai sell each one for in total?
Having assembled one-tenth of the harvesting production line for the current culinary herb plantation, the mechanical ship finally arrived at Clockwork Bay.
Clockwork Bay was more prosperous and bustling than any of the islands Chen Qing had ever visited, with its port docks filled with all sorts of huge ships.
Its island area is larger than ten Rust Islands, and about the size of a coastal province of Chen Qingyuan's World Dragon Kingdom.
Mountains, rivers, lakes, plains—it has all kinds of landforms.
Squeezed among numerous massive cargo ships, Chen Qing's mechanical ship didn't seem out of place at all.
The residents coming and going had no time to care who Chen Qing was or how powerful her boat was.
Given the mechanical ship's unique passive ability, Chen Qing had absolutely no need to worry about the ship's safety.
The mechanical ship belongs to Chen Qing alone. Even if the Mechanical Association tries to steal Chen Qing's ship, the Mechanical Heart will protect itself by activating the Mechanical Navigation skill.
However, the Mechanical Engineering Association wouldn't do something like that.
Surely... no way?
After disembarking, Chen Qing had taken almost all the money from the vault with him. He had also sold everything he could, and not counting the odd change, Chen Qing now had 500,000 goldfish in his possession.
With so much money, you could offer a reward of two or more.
In retrospect, the additional bounty wasn't actually that much; capturing her was mainly about the honor.
It's true that merchants make money no matter where they are.
Clockwork Bay is home to several branches of the Mechanical Guild, with one particularly prominent branch in the port, and another equally prominent branch of the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Of course, Clockwork Bay also has many other branches of various professional associations, guilds, and other miscellaneous organizations, but none of them are as well-located as these two.
There's even a pirate guild here.
The Mechanical Association treats all professional mechanics very well. Chen Qing is currently a senior mechanic and is just one step away from being promoted to a master mechanic of a particular school.
As long as she is willing to register with the Mechanical Association and become a member, she can receive a considerable amount of goldfish and materials from the Mechanical Association every month.
People like Chen Qing can receive many additional preferential treatments.
For example, the mechanical association stores books and blueprints, and provides guidance from different schools of mechanics.
The Mechanical Association also established a mechanical academy on another island, which had very high entry requirements.
Chen Qing has no intention of joining the Mechanical Association. Given the current chaotic state of the association, it's better for her to remain an independent member.
After disembarking, Chen Qing followed the flow of people to enter the Bounty Hunter Guild.
The bounty guild in Clockwork Bay is much larger than that in Sapphire Isle, with many more staff members, and it looks like a castle from a distance.
This big city is just different.
However, these staff members are definitely not as capable as Ariel's family on Sapphire Island.
Sapphire Island is sophisticated, Clockwork Bay is vast; their development paths are different.
The harbor of Clockwork Bay bears the marks of artillery fire, and the neighboring Mechanical Association is no exception; it must have been frequently attacked by pirates.
However, from the surface, the Bounty Guild showed no signs of attack except for being a bit old.
Chen Qing planned to go to the Bounty Guild to learn about Clockwork Bay, as the island of Clockwork Bay was indeed quite large.
Just as she was about to go in, a voice suddenly called out to Chen Qing, and the person blocked her way.
"Lord Chen Qing, please wait a moment."
