Chapter 45 Illiterate Dahlia
"Can."
Chen Qing readily agreed. Many supplies were not suitable for sale to survivors, and she needed to quickly recoup her funds in the next couple of days, so selling them to middlemen was a good option.
"After we get to the island, let's go find Granny Swan together, not in the black market."
The middleman that Fire Monkey and her friends often trade with is called Granny Swan, who used to be a bounty hunter with a good track record.
Later, it was said that he was seriously injured by a rookie pirate and retired to Sapphire Island to work as a middleman for bounty hunters.
"By the way, do you want to go out to sea again later? We'll take a small boat; those corpses will attract a lot of sea monsters."
Fire Monkey suddenly remembered this and asked a question, while the hunters around her looked at her strangely.
Hunting sea creatures is one of the sources of income for bounty hunters; the rarer the creature, the higher the price.
"Should we invite them to come along too?"
Fire Monkey pointed at Gao Yue and her group on the opposite boat, her true intentions were not what they seemed.
It would be more appropriate for Chen Qing to speak than for her, a stranger, and those people with supernatural abilities clearly trusted Chen Qing.
Chen Qing understood what the Fire Monkey meant.
I'll ask them later.
Chen Qing smiled faintly, not taking it upon herself to agree on behalf of Gao Yue and the others.
However, Gao Yue and her friends probably wouldn't refuse, as they are currently short of money and can also gain experience.
Having received Chen Qing's permission, Fire Monkey and the others stopped talking and focused on resting.
They did suffer significant losses in this battle.
Whether pirates or hunters, they all risked their lives for money.
Chen Qing returned to her room, washed herself again, and changed into some light and comfortable clothes.
Ever since entering this world, she has always carried an inescapable, faint smell of blood.
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Qing, still performing the familiar hair-wiping motion, opened his personal panel.
The extra points gained this time were substantial, enough for Chen Qing to upgrade her mental attributes.
However, Chen Qing was not in a hurry to upgrade her mental attribute, as it was not the most important attribute for her at the moment.
Her extraordinary abilities... are not affected by mental attributes, and Chen Qing's current skills are also not affected by mental attributes.
Chen Qing opened the skill bar. Rather than improving his mental attributes, Chen Qing was more interested in creating those three combat-type mechanical creatures now that he was rich.
An E-grade mechanical manufacturing system can be upgraded to D-grade by spending 100 Extraordinary Points.
With his D-level mechanical manufacturing skills, Chen Qing could barely attempt to assemble those three mechanical creatures.
The manufacturing difficulty of combat-type mechanical creatures is far greater than that of mechanical spider bombs; Chen Qing needs a much higher level of skill and knowledge.
A shortfall of 14 Extraordinary Points...
Chen Qing tapped the bounty book lightly with his finger.
She opened the ship's panel, where the ship could also be upgraded using Extraordinary Points, either as a whole ship or as individual cabins.
Kitchen, medical room, warehouse, planting area, ship's wheel, ... and machine factory.
Even the super-powered vines and mechanical ants can be upgraded.
However, the mechanical factory that Chen Qing wants to upgrade requires more extraordinary points than upgrading skills.
We have enough points for the kitchen and medical room, but there's no need to waste them now.
Chen Qingwei sighed almost imperceptibly. On Sapphire Island, the only place where one could take action was the black market.
Doing something elsewhere is likely to attract attention and you'll get caught.
Chen Qing is a relatively law-abiding person.
"Sister, may I come in?"
There was a knock on the door from outside.
"Come in."
Chen Qing closed the panel and softened his tone.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Dahlia looked at Chen Qing with concern. The pirates had stabbed her sister so many times and made her bleed so much. It was terrifying!
"It's alright, I'm almost fully recovered."
Chen Qing lifted his clothes to show Dalia his wound. Zuo Yun's ability wasn't yet strong enough to heal him instantly, but Chen Qing's wound had already recovered by at least half.
Zuo Yun's abilities... are quite... how should I put it?
The recovery was a bit too fast; it started healing while the knife was still stuck in her flesh... It was a bit painful.
Chen Qing felt she needed to tell Zuo Yun about her experience using it, otherwise... the next user would be in a really bad situation.
She's also in a terrible situation.
Chen Qing's lips twitched slightly as he recalled how he felt at the time.
I can't think about it anymore.
Chen Qing pulled out a sheet of white paper from the bookshelf and began to write with a soft, rustling sound.
The writing system in this world is completely different from theirs, but upon being placed in this world, all the survivors automatically learned the common language of this world.
After finishing writing, Chen Qing handed the paper to Daliya.
Looking at the worm-like symbols on the paper, Dahlia's face suddenly flushed red, and her voice became barely audible.
"Sister...I...can't read."
"..."
Oh, I forgot, Dahlia was born on Slave Island and grew up there.
But... Chen Qing's eyebrows furrowed together.
Dahlia is heading to the Crimson Sea, where she will face extremely dangerous situations. Being illiterate... that's a huge problem.
Would the remnants of Moana's pirate crew have that much time to let her study?
Chen Qing glanced at the anxious Dalia, who had clearly thought of the same problem.
Dahlia has always been smart, but she's willing to play dumb in front of Chen Qing.
"don’t worry."
Chen Qing patted Daliya's head and pulled a picture book from the bookshelf, handing it to her.
"You can look at a picture book for a while."
"good."
Dahlia nodded obediently and sat down next to Chen Qing, absentmindedly reading a book.
Chen Qing quickly contacted Qing Xian, hoping to see if she had any skill books related to language and writing or second-stage items.
Qingxian kept her mouth shut and kept a great distance from her, so it wouldn't affect her and Daliya.
There would be some risks involved in seeking out Gao Yue.
Chen Qing really came to the right person by choosing Qing Xian, who is currently preparing to transition into a recycling business.
Moreover, they are the rare type of recyclers that can go six months without making any business, but then make enough to last them for six months.
It would be a waste not to use such a great platform as Chen Qing's private chat channel.
Qingxian had amassed a bunch of strange and seemingly useless skill books and items.
This is all thanks to Chen Qing.
As soon as Chen Qing asked, she immediately found a suitable skill book.
The skill book titled "Mastery of Basic Common Language in the Deep Blue Seas" is perfect for an illiterate person like Dahlia.
She hoarded a whole hundred books!
Given that Chen Qing was her great benefactor, Qingxian sold the crabs to Chen Qing directly at cost price of 5 silver crabs.
As for whether it's actually cost price... hehehe.
Qingxian counted the silver crabs in her hand and laughed so hard her eyes disappeared. The glittering silver was really beautiful!
It would be even better if it were gold!
If this skill book were from someone else, Qingxian would definitely ask for 1 goldfish!
Chen Qing, having obtained the skill book, quickly had Daliya use it.
Moana's daughter is illiterate, what kind of situation is this?
