Chapter 79 The Mechanic Xia Li
After dinner, Chen Qing planned to practice his knife skills on the deck for a while. He needed to improve his mechanical skills, and his knife skills were equally important.
The knife Chen Qing is currently using is still the same black knife as the black knife. After all, it is the black knife's weapon, and it is not a perfect fit for Chen Qing.
It's not that the best weapon is the strongest; suitability is also very important.
There are no famous swordsmiths on Sapphire Island, otherwise Chen Qing would have forged a new one.
I've heard that when you're looking for weapon masters to forge weapons, it's best to source the materials yourself.
Chen Qing still needs to carefully consider her knife.
Let's use this black sword as a temporary measure.
Just as Chen Qing was practicing with the super-powered vines, Xia Li appeared beside Chen Qing's boat.
It's still the familiar mechanical flying fish.
Shirley rode a black flying fish, while Dorothy's was blue.
Compared to Dorothy's, Shirley's is clearly more detailed.
It seems their discussion has yielded results.
It was Shirley who came, not Dorothy, so Mazan and the others wanted to see what tricks she had up her sleeve.
Chen Qing took the wet towel handed to her by the super-powered vine. The high-intensity exercise had left her covered in sweat, which dripped down her muscle lines.
Even my vest got soaked with sweat.
"Excuse me, I'll go in and wash up first."
Chen Qing nodded to Xia Li. Her eyes looked bright, without a trace of fatigue, and her whole body exuded a very vigorous life force.
How should I describe it? Of all the mechanics Xia Li had met, Chen Qing seemed to be the... healthiest.
There's a strong, regular, and vibrant feeling.
Mechanics are easily immersed in research, and once they get into it, they work day and night, often feeling exhausted and listless.
After all, research is very mentally taxing.
In addition to environmental and other factors, many mechanics, like pirates, enjoy drinking heavily.
Inspired by alcohol.
Xia Li was the same.
They are at their most energetic when they are manufacturing machinery, a time when most people don't see them.
Although there are many powerful mechanics, Chen Qing is indeed a bit different.
Breaking through the floating bubble, Xia Li stood on Chen Qing's boat and immediately saw the transparent planting area.
The plants in the planting area are all thriving and growing vigorously.
Xia Li suddenly realized what that feeling was like.
This child has not yet picked up most of the bad habits of mechanics.
The super-powered vines brought out a table and chairs for Xia Li, along with various teas and snacks.
Chen Qing quickly tidied herself up, thinking that Xia Li must have brought her good news.
When Chen Qing came out of the bathroom, he saw Xia Li preparing to disassemble the super-powered vines to study them.
"..."
That's understandable.
When Chen Qing saw the mechanical flying fish, he instinctively wanted to study it.
However, she had already figured out all the principles of the mechanical flying fish before she even got to use it.
"Uh—excuse me."
Xia Li coughed awkwardly when she saw Chen Qing come out.
This mechanical vine came from the Treasure Sea; Xia Li had seen it before.
Its production is very low, and it is usually used as an auxiliary tool in the homes or workshops of mechanics of different schools.
Mechanical vines are much more useful than those mechanical apprentices, who always make mistakes.
Xia Li, an engineer-style mechanic, was very unlucky and failed to get the job.
I never expected to see it here with Chen Qing.
Could it be that Chen Qing has some background that they haven't been able to investigate?
However, it doesn't seem likely; she comes from a background of seafaring, and the past of these seafarers is completely blank.
"This was fished out of the sea."
Chen Qing smiled politely, without hiding the origin of the super-powered vines.
Isn't this proof of her mechanical prowess?
In the sea.
Xia Li nodded; she hadn't misjudged him after all.
All the mechanical creations thrown into the sea were discarded; if the super-powered vines were thrown into the sea, they must have been beyond repair.
Chen Qing was actually able to repurpose it and successfully repair it, which shows his considerable skill.
The two sat facing each other, speechless.
Both Chen Qing and Xia Li are taciturn and don't talk much.
They prefer observing and thinking to speaking.
So, with the two of them facing each other, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
"Lady Xia Li, have you come to see me?"
In the end, it was Chen Qing who broke the silence. She felt that if she didn't speak, Xia Li might not take the initiative to talk.
“Xia Li is fine.”
When Chen Qing spoke up, Xia Li was indeed relieved, as she was even less talkative than Chen Qing.
When I met Chen Qing before, it wasn't that she was deliberately aloof; it was just her personality.
"We agree to your conditions."
"But you need to prove it."
Xia Li's words were concise and to the point.
Chen Qing understood what she meant; if she wanted to see the original blueprints, she needed to prove she had that value.
After all, that fortification was very important to Sapphire Island.
Chen Qing can understand.
"I……"
Xia Li thought for a moment, then spoke again.
She roughly guessed that Chen Qing had some hidden cards up his sleeve, so she argued with the mechanics stationed on Emerald Island and gave Chen Qing this opportunity.
"Walk."
Xia Li quickly stood up and gestured for Chen Qing to follow her.
"good."
Chen Qing instructed the super-powered vines to guard the ship, as there wasn't much of value left on board.
She had already taken the hive of the Assistant Bee into her spatial storage; the only valuable thing left on the ship was a mechanical factory.
If any foolish pirates come looking for trouble, Chen Qing will have a good reason to deal with them.
Chen Qing still has a large shortfall in Extraordinary Points.
Xia Li led Chen Qing to the beach near the island lord's mansion, where they opened an underground entrance.
We traveled deep into the underground entrance, taking about half an hour to make our way through various twists and turns and changing modes of transportation, before finally arriving at a huge underwater base.
This is the secret base that Sapphire Island and Emerald Island built three years ago.
Having arrived here, Chen Qing had no choice but to join the project, even if he didn't want to.
Sapphire Island wouldn't kill her, but if Chen Qing can't prove her worth, she definitely won't get the reward she wants.
This underwater base is located in the deep sea, and no one would come here except for those extraordinary sea monsters.
There were countless mechanical creatures coming and going, but compared to these mechanical creations, the number of humans in the base was not large.
With so many people around, things can easily go wrong.
Marzaan and the others understand this principle.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered to bring in Chen Qing, a promising talent. It's because Chen Qing has a clean background, reliable conduct, and good reputation.
