Chapter 190 Mechanical Academy, Evil Luo and Ashes
"What's up?"
Chen Qing lowered her eyes and casually glanced at the person blocking her way—a member of the Mechanical Association.
This person has the markings of the Mechanical Association on his body.
"Lord Chen Qing, I am Yin Xian, 19 years old, from the Mechanical Association, belonging to the Spark Family, and currently a Level 12 Advanced Mechanic."
The boy blocking Chen Qing's path adjusted his glasses, coughed lightly, straightened his chest, and looked up at Chen Qing.
"?"
A faint look of doubt appeared on Chen Qing's face.
Then what?
"???"
The boy opposite him also felt strange. He had already introduced himself, so why didn't Chen Qing react at all?
Even if she doesn't know the Spark Family, surely she knows the Mechanical Association?
The young man with the silver strings glanced at the Bounty Hunters Guild very subtly, his eyes revealing disdain.
"Get out of the way if there's nothing else."
Chen Qing took a long stride and sidestepped the string from the great Mechanical Association Hotpot family.
"Why!"
I don't know how the Spark Family raised their child, but Yin Xian actually reached out and grabbed Chen Qing.
Chen Qing's eyes narrowed, and he instantly drew his long sword and slashed backward!
Two explosive rabbit hunters appeared beside Chen Qing at some unknown time and charged straight at Yin Xian.
"!!!"
Yin Xian was surprised that Chen Qing would suddenly attack. The boy, who had not experienced much of the dangers of the outside world, was so frightened that he stood frozen in place.
"Clang—"
The sound of metal clashing rang out, followed by a burst of intense sparks.
A woman stood in front of Yin Xian, her mechanical arm blocking Chen Qing's attack.
The robotic arm was left with a deep mark by the black knife.
"I'm sorry, this child was too reckless."
Please forgive his mistake.
The woman lowered her head and sincerely apologized to Chen Qing.
Yinxian didn't mean any harm; he was just curious.
In the past few days, second-year students from the School of Mechanical Engineering have been sent to various branches of Treasure Sea for practical learning, and Silver String is one of those assigned to Clockwork Bay.
The students in the School of Mechanical Engineering are mostly from various mechanical families, or are geniuses recruited by the Mechanical Association from all over the world.
They basically started immersing themselves in their studies at the academy from a very young age and had little contact with the outside world.
Even when interacting with the outside world, they are always pampered and treated with deference.
The students of the School of Mechanical Engineering had long heard of Chen Qing's reputation.
Ever since Chen Qing appeared, the teachers in the academy have been constantly comparing him to these students.
In particular... some of the specially appointed teachers in the School of Mechanical Engineering have had dealings with Chen Qing.
These teachers were the same mechanics from different schools who had worked with Chen Qing on Sapphire Island.
For example, Qu Sizhen especially admired Chen Qing.
They helped Chen Qing attract a lot of hatred.
The students in the School of Mechanical Engineering absolutely hated Chen Qing. In the original world, Chen Qing was the perfect child.
These students were not only compared to Chen Qing by the teachers, but the amount and difficulty of their usual coursework also increased many times over.
Because of Chen Qing's appearance, the difficulty of graduating from the School of Mechanical Engineering has increased significantly.
Therefore, when the Mechanical Engineering Association deduced from Chen Qing's flight path that she would go to Clockwork Bay, the students of the Mechanical Engineering Academy who had already been doing practical work in Clockwork Bay made preparations well in advance.
While they disliked Chen Qing, they were also curious whether Chen Qing was really as amazing as their teacher had said.
From the moment the mechanical ship docked at Clockwork Bay Port, these young girls and boys had their eyes on Chen Qing.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qing had no intention of joining the Mechanical Association at all, and instead went to the Bounty Association next door.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Mechanic class isn't very popular in the Deep Blue Sea, and the Mechanic's presence in the Deep Blue Sea isn't that strong.
However, the mechanics, who are the backbone of the deep blue sea, hold a high position.
Especially in the Treasure Sea, the family of mechanics.
Like the Elemental Sea next door, where nobles and magic-based professions are more powerful. They are fewer in number and have higher entry requirements, but they are stronger.
The Gemstone Sea is home to sea creatures and various professions, such as gem craftsmen, gem appraisers, and gem hunters.
The plant world is mostly the territory of the Wood element, and professions related to life and work are more popular there, such as farmers, chefs, plant researchers, and winemakers.
Each sea area has its own popular professions due to its geographical environment and other factors.
Of course, there is always room for other professions to survive.
As for the impoverished Sanhai, they are too poor, so any profession that can make money is popular.
The Treasure Sea is basically the mechanic's lair.
Mechanic families, pirates, bounty hunters, and other professions—the treasure sea is divided among four.
In addition, the mechanics formed families that sold large quantities of weapons, accumulating a great deal of wealth.
In the Treasure Sea, mechanics not only have status, but also wealth.
Having been pampered since childhood, these self-proclaimed future mechanics are all very proud.
They were thoroughly outmatched by Chen Qing, a self-taught, older young man, and naturally they were unwilling to accept it.
They originally planned to wait until Chen Qing joined the Mechanical Association so they could have a good match with him on their home turf.
They were determined to let Chen Qing know that as the elite members of the Mechanical Academy, founded by the Mechanical Association in conjunction with various mechanical families, they were definitely not to be trifled with!
Yinxian was the vanguard sent out by these idle young ladies and gentlemen.
As the perennial third-place student in the second year of the School of Mechanical Engineering, Yin Xian vowed to prove himself today.
Unexpectedly... things didn't go well from the start.
If it weren't for the one-armed woman blocking him in time, Chen Qing would have definitely shaved his head bald.
It's a real shame that Chen Qing, who has already developed bald patches at such a young age, didn't manage to accomplish this.
"Oh dear, I told you Silver String wasn't good enough! He almost got chopped down by that woman in one go!"
"Honestly, he was bragging like that just now, he's so useless."
Not far away, the other mechanical engineering students were hiding inside a tall building of the Mechanical Engineering Association, observing Chen Qing at the entrance of the Bounty Hunter Guild.
"No wonder Silver String is always third. He's so useless. If Evil Luo were here, that would be great."
"But I prefer Ashes."
"I don't think either Akuro or Ash is suitable; we need the seniors from the third year."
The young students chattered noisily, each supporting their favorite.
Although they all disliked Chen Qing, under the brainwashing of the teachers, they subconsciously listed Chen Qing as the biggest competitor of all the students in the School of Mechanical Engineering.
Only the strongest person in the School of Mechanical Engineering is qualified to compete with Chen Qing.
This can be seen as their acknowledgment of Chen Qing's strength.
The School of Mechanical Engineering is divided into three grades and a preparatory class.
All students entering the academy will be assigned to a preparatory class. Only those who are promoted to junior mechanics can officially become members of the Mechanical Academy.
Grades one through three are respectively Junior Basic Mechanic, Intermediate Advanced Mechanic, and Senior Senior Mechanic.
Once you reach level 20 as a senior mechanic, you can graduate from the Mechanical Engineering Academy.
However, very few people graduate from the School of Mechanical Engineering at present.
If Chen Qing hadn't been lucky enough to stumble upon an A-level mega-defense structure, even if he had been sent to a mechanical academy, it would probably have taken him quite a while to graduate.
Well, how should I put it?
The mechanical engineering department offers a closed-system learning environment, which is more beneficial than harmful to most mechanics.
However, for a mechanic with top-notch talent like Chen Qing, the closed nature of the Mechanical Academy is undoubtedly a constraint.
Fortunately, the School of Mechanical Engineering has become aware of the problems in recent years.
Starting with the second-year intermediate mechanics, they were gradually sent out to gain experience and adapt.
The senior mechanics in the third year are completely left to their own devices. They will still provide what they need to teach, but how these students choose to proceed is up to them.
They are free to decide whether to study in seclusion or go out to gain experience; it's up to them.
Surprisingly, it's quite effective.
Some gifted students decide their future path as early as their second year of high school.
For example, the evil spirits and ashes they just mentioned.
Evil Luo hails from the Misty Sea. She's a treasure the Mechanical Association dug up from the slums. Once she enters her third year, she'll join the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew.
This news was announced by SUGA itself.
She swaggered into the Mechanical Association with the Dragon Pirates, announcing it in front of the association's president and a host of mechanical masters from various schools.
If the Mechanical Association doesn't release them, it's going against the Demon Dragon Pirates.
The specific process is unknown, but...
From then on, even when Evil stayed on Mechanical Academy Island, he was always accompanied by combatants from the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew.
The main reason was to prevent those bastards from the Mechanical Association from giving up and killing Evil Luo.
As for what Ara himself thinks, no one knows.
Ash is a member of the Shifang family, a mechanical family in the Treasure Sea. The Shifang family is a little different from other families.
They are not bound by blood ties, but by mechanical schools of thought, making them more like a small mechanical association.
The entire family are mechanics.
Any talented war mechanic will be recruited into the Shifang family.
Rumor has it that the Shifang family possesses a secret technique, but no one knows what that technique is or what its effects are.
It's just a rumor circulating.
Compared to the advanced mechanics in the third year, these second-year students trusted Evil Luo and Ash more.
"Although Akura is only an intermediate-level mechanic, she is just one step away from breaking through to the advanced level. Back in her first year, Akura defeated a third-year student."
"Exactly, those third-year students don't have any other advantages besides living a few more years than us."
"But Ran Lin, a third-year student, has already signed a contract with the Crimson Serpent Clan. Isn't he more powerful than Evil Luo?"
Some people support Evil Luo, some support Ashes, and naturally, some support the third-year upperclassmen.
As for Yin Xian, he was already defeated by Chen Qing.
Useless thing. He didn't even use a single mechanic's move against Chen Qing. So useless and embarrassing.
Yin Xian still felt wronged. Chen Qing hadn't used any mechanic techniques at all; she had used combatant techniques!
Yin Xian was extremely aggrieved at this moment. Not only was he humiliated by Chen Qing, but his teacher also forced him to apologize to Chen Qing.
"sorry."
Yinxian's head was pressed down, and she reluctantly bowed her head to Chen Qing and said sorry.
"Um."
Chen Qing had no intention of arguing with him. Even if that woman didn't make a move, at most she would just whittle Yin Xian down to a receding hairline.
After meeting Chen Cheng, Chen Qing's few remaining mischievous quirks were rekindled.
Chen Cheng had been harmed by Chen Qing many times in the past, and Chen Qing was never just someone who used violence.
What kind of person, what kind of tactics.
As for Chen Miao and Chen Lin, just beat them until they're scared.
But this tactic won't work on Chen Cheng. To deal with her, you have to break her mentality.
However, Chen Cheng is the kind of person who gets stronger with each setback; her mental fortitude is much stronger than Liu Jin's.
Chen Qing sheathed his knife and prepared to leave, but Yin Xian grew anxious.
Chen Qing is gone, who will he compete with now?
"Chen Qing, may I speak to you in private?"
Before he could do anything else, the one-armed woman called out to Chen Qing again.
"Um?"
Chen Qing glanced at the woman but did not agree.
"I'm Qu Sizhen's friend. My name is Wu Xi. You should remember her, right?"
Chen Qing nodded. Qu Sizhen was one of the few mechanics from different schools she was still in contact with, and the two had a good relationship.
Today, Chen Qing from Fatiao Bay used Qu Sizhen's connections to buy a machinery factory related to reels.
We can give Qu Sizhen face.
Although Chen Qing doesn't like interacting with people or understanding social etiquette, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand it.
"I'd like to ask you to have a competition with those students."
Wu Xi blushed slightly and said shyly.
According to current information, Chen Qing is currently a senior mechanic.
However, Chen Qing's advanced mechanic skill is quite impressive, even surpassing that of other mechanics specializing in a particular style.
Let Chen Qing waste his time competing against a group of intermediate mechanics...
I feel embarrassed just thinking about it.
"Qu Sizhen said you want to buy a machinery factory? I know a bit about that."
Wu Xi wanted to ask Chen Qing for a favor, and naturally, there would be a reward.
Of course, it's impossible to give Chen Qing a factory.
However, Wuxi can introduce Chen Qing to her network of contacts, which will save Chen Qing a lot of trouble.
"Sure, but I don't plan to join the Mechanical Association."
The students from the Mechanical Engineering Department all live in the Mechanical Engineering Association building. To enter the Mechanical Engineering Association's territory...
Chen Qing is not an arrogant person, but she is not overly modest either.
She does indeed have value in being courted by the Mechanical Engineering Association.
This means he agreed; Wuxi has made his decision.
However, Wu Xi was quite surprised that Chen Qing had no intention of joining the Mechanical Association.
That makes sense when you think about it.
For Chen Qing, joining the Mechanical Association would definitely do more harm than good.
She's already pretty much developed on her own, and now joining the Mechanical Engineering Association would just be giving the association an unfair advantage.
It would be more appropriate to cooperate with the Machinery Association.
"I will handle these things."
Wu Xi nodded solemnly.
Let's go.
Having agreed, Chen Qing was prepared to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Seeing the teacher and Chen Qing walking towards her, Yin Xian quickly pretended that nothing had happened.
"Don't be so obvious next time."
As Chen Qing passed by Yin Xian, he tossed a small mechanical object to her and said casually.
"!"
They got caught again!
