Chapter 95 Emerald Islands
Sapphire Island is not far from Emerald Island; it takes about an hour and a half to get there.
The defensive fortifications created a safe sea passage, but the two sides of the passage were pitch black, and nothing could be seen. It was like an abyss that could swallow everything up.
It's terrifying.
It's no wonder that those small caravans insisted on hiring guards; it was indeed quite frightening.
After Chen Qing took a nap, he came out of the studio and found that the super-powered vines had already moored the ship at the Emerald Island dock.
Thanks to the deployment of the defensive fortifications, Emerald Island and Sapphire Island have regained their vitality, and they no longer need to worry about the Gem Hurricane breaking through the protective shield.
Even though the sea was still surrounded by darkness and the island was only illuminated by the dim light of oil lamps, it did not diminish the vibrant and upward-looking vitality emanating from them.
The Emerald Islands are quite different from Sapphire Island, which is a very large flat island.
Compared to Sapphire Island, the Emerald Islands have a much more diverse landscape, including mountains, lakes, farmland, and pastures...
The Star Islands are located in the Gem Sea and occupy a large area of the sea.
Compared to Sapphire Island, the Emerald Islands are more peaceful. Sapphire Island has many pirates and hunters, and the atmosphere is more violent.
As soon as Chen Qing disembarked, a port worker immediately came to greet him; this was sent by Shui Se Qing Lan.
Marzan told Aqua Blue that Chen Qing was going to Emerald Island, and Aqua Blue figured out what Chen Qing was going there for after thinking about it for a moment.
So staff were specially arranged to entertain her, and Chen Qing's normal expenses on the island were all paid for by her.
Furthermore, she will also assist Chen Qing in capturing that group of Wind Shadow Jadeite.
Aquamarine had little interest in the Wind Shadow Jade; all she needed to do was firmly grasp the sea beast that produced the golden magic jade.
But the old fogies on the other islands are eyeing those Wind Shadow Emeralds.
With the defensive fortifications in place, power on the Emerald Islands is now shifting back to the Aqua family, and those old fogies are certainly not going to accept that.
The Emerald Islands are bound to descend into chaos again, but that has little to do with Chen Qing; she's here to capture Feng Ying Emerald.
Even if Aquamarine is beaten to death, it has nothing to do with her.
Refusing to be followed by the Emerald Island staff, Chen Qing wandered around Emerald Island on his own.
Due to the Gemstorm, Emerald Isle has become a hotspot for pirates and hunters...
And then there are the survivors.
In the market, the lively and familiar cries of vendors rang out.
"Stinky tofu—stinky tofu—delicious stinky tofu that doesn't smell bad—"
A small food cart passed by Chen Qing, emitting a strong and domineering odor.
The other vendors and customers in the market glared angrily at the survivor.
The survivors completely ignored him. If they had the guts, they should have beaten him up. He's got a license, you know.
Besides stinky tofu, there's also tofu pudding, barbecue, sliced meat, multigrain pancakes, and more...
All of them were night market snacks that Chen Qing was familiar with.
Chen Qing used to do this job too; she's had quite a few different jobs.
Most of the snacks have been slightly adjusted to suit the tastes of the world's inhabitants, but the stinky tofu has remained true to itself.
Its unique scent also attracted many adventurous pirates and hunters.
Chen Qing sat down at a table outside a dessert shop and ordered some desserts that weren't too sweet.
A jelly-like dessert made with nectar. Although it is made with nectar, it tastes surprisingly refreshing. Chen Qing liked it very much after trying it on Sapphire Island.
Sitting in the chair, Chen Qing could observe the entire market on Emerald Island.
Most of the people coming and going at this market are gem hunters, and the market sells supplies that can be used during the gem fishing season.
Underwater devices, weapons, submarines... and even gem decoys.
The market was filled with underwater devices, gemstones, and gemstone lures.
To catch more treasure-hunting fish, one underwater device alone is not enough.
Gemstones are also essential.
As for gem lures, they are generally used by ordinary people or children to fish for treasure fish in nearshore waters, and they can earn a little money by doing so.
There's no danger, and it even yields results.
The sales of gemstone lures are quite good.
Most of the equipment that appears in the market is of low quality, and when a piece of high-quality equipment occasionally appears, it is immediately snapped up.
Chen Qing sat at the entrance of the dessert shop, observing the market all morning, and had a good understanding of the situation.
Those underwater devices in her ring space should sell quite well.
After paying for the desserts, Chen Qing rented a stall at the market supervision office, ready to start her business of buying and selling goods at a street stall.
Although this kind of thing could be left to the super-powered vines, it would be more convenient for them to do it.
However, the super vines are not intelligent enough; after all, they cannot be like a real person.
Chen Qing needs to gather feedback from these gem hunters, and she also wants to acquire some useful items at the market.
For example, jadeite gems, other underwater devices, distribution maps of previous treasure-hunting fish, and jadeite distribution maps.
These gem hunters must have them.
Moreover, they often know things that even the authorities don't.
Just like Granny Peach, who would have thought that a former ordinary pirate from decades ago would be guarding a beehive of assistant bees and keeping news of mechanical relics at the mechanical recycling plant for so long.
Even without such an unexpected surprise, it wouldn't matter. Chen Qing planned to collect some underwater devices from the market and modify her underwater device by combining the strengths of various manufacturers.
The materials Chen Qing obtained from the deep-sea base were enough to build an underwater device capable of diving into the true deep sea.
Chen Qing placed the three models of environmental adaptation devices on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of many gem hunters.
It's not the peak time for gem hunters on the islands of Gem Sea yet. The real crowds will arrive after the Gem Hurricane ends.
All ships sailing on the Gemstone Sea will experience massive congestion.
That was when Chen Qing's underwater devices sold best.
Underwater equipment is, after all, a consumable item.
The more gems the gem hunters collect, the more their underwater devices will be consumed.
The gem hunters were immediately intrigued when Chen Qing wrote down the detailed prices of the environmental adaptation device on a cardboard.
In particular, some lower-level gem hunters are very interested in the modified version of the environmental adaptation device.
The price is the same as other devices on the market, but the effect... if what Chen Qing wrote is true, then it will be 10% more expensive than devices of the same quality on the market!
Don't underestimate this small percentage. With it, gem hunters can dive at least several dozen meters deeper, leaving the shallow waters and entering the midsea area.
The differences are not minor.
