Chapter 97 isn't a big problem for you.
The gem hunters had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Chen Qing arrive, they immediately led him to a tavern they frequented recently.
From beginning to end, Chen Qing never said what she wanted, and neither did they say what they had; the two sides had an unexpected tacit understanding.
The quaint tavern had private rooms. Chen Qing paid the bill and asked the owner to bring out the usual drinks and snacks.
Surprisingly, the owner of this tavern was a survivor from China.
Just by looking at the tavern's ambiance and menu, you can immediately tell that it has a very distinctive character.
Survivors from the Dragon Kingdom have a really strong ability to adapt and integrate into their environment.
"We want ten thousand goldfish."
"You also need to customize a special mechanical prosthesis for us, and the quality cannot be lower than Grade D."
After the waiter brought the wine and snacks and closed the door, the five gem hunters, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up and stated their conditions.
"This is one of our rewards."
A gem hunter used his only remaining arm to push a box toward Chen Qing.
"Once you've finished assembling the mechanical prosthetics for us, we'll give you a map showing the distribution of the Treasure Fish in the Emerald Islands area, and we'll hand it over to you then."
"The distribution maps of these treasure-hunting fish are all recorded, including Wind Shadow Jade, Beautiful Violet, Peach Spring Feather, Sky Grape Flesh, etc."
"Class D..."
Chen Qing seemed to be deep in thought; she didn't seem to have made such a basic mechanical creation recently.
These gem hunters required her to create custom designs, which meant she needed to create her own blueprints.
This is Chen Qing's first time doing this, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Chen Qing already had an idea in mind, but the name of the Treasure-Snatching Fish on the Emerald Islands... sounded better than that on Sapphire Island.
Her silence led the gem hunters to believe that their demands were excessive.
They were about to speak up and try again, since, apart from a rookie mechanic like Chen Qing, they simply couldn't find anyone to assemble mechanical prosthetics for them.
As a once-experienced team of gem hunters, they may not be the most elite gem hunters, but they were at least among the top tier.
If it weren't for offending the Mechanical Association... sigh.
They didn't intend to tell Chen Qing about this; if they did, even the new mechanic would probably be scared away.
However, they did pay them well.
"Can."
Chen Qing readily agreed; the sincerity shown by these gem hunters was indeed genuine.
[Grade C - Moonlight Jade (Purple): Can be worn, processed into jewelry, or inlaid. It automatically absorbs moonlight essence when night falls. Wearing it for a long time will temper the wearer's body with moonlight essence and enhance related attributes.]
The product is good.
Chen Qing has no immediate plans to use Extraordinary Points to improve his physical attributes, so these external items are indispensable.
"Come find me tomorrow night."
Chen Qing glanced at the time. She hadn't studied the relevant materials yet and needed to go back and look through the books.
However, most mechanical knowledge is interconnected and not difficult to learn.
Putting aside everything else, Chen Qing's assembled Explosive Rabbit Hunter already possessed some relevant knowledge.
"Can't we do it today?"
The gem hunters couldn't help but frown when they heard Chen Qing's words.
What if the mechanic goes back to investigate...?
"no."
Chen Qing glanced at them, and naturally knew that there must be something fishy going on.
But no matter what kind of shady dealings there were, Chen Qing wasn't afraid at all.
She dared to confront the pirates and hunters of the entire deep blue sea as soon as she entered the game, so why would she be afraid of trouble caused by these few seemingly lowly gem hunters?
It may sound harsh, but it's the truth.
If they had caused enough trouble, they wouldn't be sitting in front of her now, showing her this moonstone jade.
If no other gem hunter can provide a better gem distribution map, then Chen Qing will agree to their conditions.
High returns naturally justify taking certain risks.
Chen Qing did not give them a chance to refute, nor did they have the right to refuse.
Chen Qing was the only mechanic they could contact who could solve their problems and who didn't know the inside story.
After paying for the drinks, Chen Qing strolled around the Emerald Islands to familiarize himself with the terrain.
There are quite a few survivors on the Emerald Islands, not just from China, but also from Japan, South Korea, Russia, and more...
It's so obvious that you can tell the difference at a glance.
After buying some materials at the market, Chen Qing returned to the ship and began researching. He even went to ask Xia Li and Brown for information.
Strictly speaking, mechanical prosthetics are actually a branch of mechanical weaponry. They are not limited to prosthetics, but also include the exoskeleton that Chen Qing used before.
This greatly enhances the mechanic's combat capabilities.
The exoskeleton for the leg and the mechanical arm had been abandoned by Chen Qing and had been gathering dust in a corner of the warehouse for a long time. Now, Chen Qing has dug them out again to start studying them.
Upon receiving Chen Qing's message, Xia Li didn't ask any questions and directly sent Chen Qing a pile of books.
Brown, however, couldn't resist asking why they had suddenly started researching this.
He thought Chen Qing would follow the path of a battlefield mechanic, but he didn't expect him to be a weapon specialist.
Chen Qing didn't hide anything and told Brown about it.
Brown is the resident mechanic of the Emerald Isles and is from the Emerald Isles, so he knows the place well.
[Brown: Those gem hunters, they offended Ergu of the Mechanics Association and were blacklisted.]
Brown: I didn't expect them to come after you, but it's not a big deal for you.
Brown: You could try to squeeze some money out of them. They're seasoned hunters; they don't have much cash, but as for other things... you can decide.
Brown knew a great deal of inside information, and even personally taught Chen Qing how to blackmail those gem hunters.
Ergul was also a mechanic of his own kind, and he was always petty and vengeful. Those gem hunters had offended him by accident, so he immediately banned them from the industry, forbidding any mechanic from accepting their tasks.
Brown would know about this because it happened on Emerald Isle.
The mechanics were certainly not afraid of Urgul, but these gem hunters didn't have anything worth their help.
Why would different factions of mechanics antagonize other mechanics of the same level if there were no mutual benefit?
As for the mechanics below the faction level, of course they wouldn't dare offend Ergul, and no mechanic dared to help them at all.
However, for Chen Qing, this was indeed not a problem.
Chen Qing has come this far without the involvement of the Mechanical Association, and she will not need it in the future. In fact, the Mechanical Association might even have to ask her for help in the future.
Furthermore, due to the defensive fortifications, Chen Qing directly befriended a group of mechanics from various schools.
If Ergul were to target Chen Qing, the matter would be resolved before he even reached Chen Qing.
Even if he were to stand in front of Chen Qing, would Chen Qing be afraid of a mechanic who had only ever been a sect mechanic for his entire life?
Chen Qing was never afraid of lightning or anything like that.
