Chapter 198: Grade B Military Industrial Core, Deep Blue War Erupts
Countless machines were moved to Yuzhi Island: combat machinery, mechanical engineering equipment, auxiliary machinery...
There were all kinds of machines; Chen Qing suspected they had emptied the machine island.
However, this piece of machinery clearly hasn't touched the core of the Mechanical Association.
Otherwise, the Mechanical Association wouldn't have simply issued arrest warrants for these robbers.
The real threat to the Mechanical Association is someone like former Vice President Yolandi, who led most of the association's members and affiliated families away, and who knows how much they might have secretly taken with them.
While the pirate crew members were moving the machinery, Shangjia found Chen Qing and traded the core of a B-grade military factory for Evil Luo and Yuzeqi.
"Are you really willing to trade this?"
Chen Qing stared at the enormous core device before him and asked curiously.
Evil is also a mechanic like her, and both of them are quite talented and capable.
They could easily keep it for themselves.
Shang Jia laughed heartily, his smile bright and flamboyant, full of infectious energy.
She had her arm around Chen Qing's shoulder, her red hair falling down, and Chen Qing could clearly see the tattoos on her shoulders and neck.
It was a pattern Chen Qing had never seen before. Under her gaze, those strange biological patterns quickly drifted away from Shang Jia's shoulders and neck and disappeared.
"This thing is useful to you, but it's a burden to me."
That's absolutely true.
The Dragon Pirate Crew operates differently from Chen Qing's, and Evil Luo's mechanical style is also quite different from Chen Qing's.
Evil Luo's style is that of a mechanic, while Chen Qing doesn't have a particular style; she's proficient in everything.
I've been following news about Chen Qing and have heard about what happened on Rust Island.
Xuepo said that Chen Qing was probably after the core of the Rose family's mechanical military industry.
Therefore, Shangjia used this military core as payment for Chen Qing to rescue Evil Luo and You Zeqi.
The military core on the machine island is definitely better than that of the Rose Family.
"Besides, its greatest use is to exchange it for my companion. Don't you agree?"
Shang Jia looked at Chen Qing with a smile and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Right?"
Chen Qing had no companions, so she couldn't understand this feeling.
If given the choice, she would choose the core of the military factory.
The sailor rabbits on the ship quickly disembarked and transported the newly acquired military factory core back to the ship.
As he stroked his chin and watched the Sailor Rabbits, he felt a little itchy.
She found it amusing again, and Zhao Fuli secretly nudged Chen Qing to remind her.
Furthermore, his crimes were numerous.
That's how she was forcibly taken onto the ship; she couldn't escape.
"Chen Qing, you need to keep a close eye on those rabbits, otherwise Shangjia will steal them again."
"I can hear you!"
Shang Jia stood with his hands on his hips, angrily shouting at Zhao Fuli.
She's not deaf; she's speaking so loudly as if she's afraid no one can hear her.
Moreover, whose side is Zhao Fuli on?
"So what if you heard it? What are you going to do about killing me?"
Zhao Fuli rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
If we kill her, where will we find another chef with superhuman abilities? We'll just be left eating chaff and wild vegetables.
Zhao Fuli is very confident in her cooking skills.
She is also an indispensable member of the Dragon Pirate Crew.
In fact, that is indeed the case.
The entire Demon Dragon Pirate Crew is full of gluttons; otherwise, Zhao Fuli wouldn't be so arrogant, daring to even confront Shangjia.
Shang Jia and Zhao Fuli quickly started arguing, the two of them shouting at each other like children.
Chen Qing was caught in the middle, expressionless, like a wooden stake.
The pirates couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
"Boss, if you make Lili angry and she runs away, we won't have anything to eat."
Lili is the nickname the Demon Dragon Pirates gave to Zhao Fuli, which Zhao Fuli doesn't like at all.
"Ughhhhh—I've told you so many times not to call me Lili!"
Zhao Fuli was furious on the spot, while the pirates were in complete chaos.
Although Zhao Fuli cursed the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang every day, she actually got along quite well with the pirates of the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang.
Of course, if given the chance, she would still choose to leave the Dragon Pirate Crew.
The Demon Dragon Pirates were, after all, pirates, and their lives were quite thrilling and exciting. Zhao Fuli preferred a quieter life of farming.
She didn't have such lofty ambitions as to go to the Crimson Sea; she felt that the Deep Blue Sea was just fine.
What a pity.
In the end, it was Naga who rescued Chen Qing from the argument between Shangjia and Zhao Fuli. These two were like brats who deserved a beating when they argued.
With Evil and Yuzeki released by the Mechanical Heart, the Naga and their companions naturally had to redeem their unfortunate foes.
They also gave Chen Qing a factory; the Machinery Island has no shortage of all kinds of military factories.
No one except members of the Mechanical Association can go up to Mechanical Island.
Unless they are like the ones above.
The machine island is a functional island, which is basically filled with all kinds of mechanical factories, research rooms, and mechanical creations.
Therefore, these pirates were always successful in their robberies, acquiring only the best items.
However, they didn't manage to snag any of the truly good stuff on the machine island.
They kept it very secret, and the robbers' alliance didn't intend to offend the Mechanical Association too much.
It's fine as it is now. We can make a quick buck when the time is right, taking it slow and steady.
Chen Qing was tempted by all these things. If time could be turned back, she would definitely have followed them into the mechanical island on that day.
The Naga pirate crew provided a C-grade military factory, an entire one, which was placed inside the space.
The Ghost Bone Pirates' factory is a Class B mechanical parts production plant, not as valuable as a military factory, but its level is not low.
The ransoms paid to Chen Qing by the three pirate crews were roughly the same, but of course, the most valuable thing to Chen Qing was the mechanical core that had been added.
She can now assemble that Class B military factory, and it comes with six combat machinery blueprints.
As for the Blood Cult on the isolated island in the desolate sea, they couldn't even pay the ransom.
It's truly heartbreaking.
Sailor Rabbit worked diligently, huffing and puffing, to load all sorts of machinery onto the ship. Looking at the adorable little rabbit, Shangjia was truly captivated.
This mechanical rabbit is much more intelligent than the machines on the mechanical island.
They wanted to steal it.
However, it's not worth offending Chen Qing, the owner of these mechanical rabbits, for the sake of a few mechanical rabbits.
Chen Qing is an unremarkable person, but she owns an A-class super ship.
As for Shangjia, who also possessed an A-class superhuman ship, she knew all too well the strength of an A-class superhuman ship.
The fact that the Demon Dragon Pirates can be so reckless and shameless in the deep blue seas, yet always manage to escape unscathed, is largely thanks to the Demon Dragon.
A super ship that has lost its master's control can become terrifying.
Moreover, Shangjia actually quite likes Chen Qing.
"Will you sell that rabbit?"
He asked in a cryptic tone.
"Not for sale for the time being."
Chen Qing refused; there were too few Sailor Rabbits, and there was still no feedback on the Sailor Rabbit that had been sold.
She doesn't plan to sell Sailor Rabbit for the time being.
"ah……"
Shangjia looked at Chen Qing pitifully, his disappointment evident in his expression.
"That expression doesn't suit you."
Chen Qing merely glanced at Shang Jia and said indifferently.
"It's so fake."
Shang Jia frowned and silently raised his middle finger behind Chen Qing's back.
"Chen Qing, Shangjia is giving you the middle finger!! She's insulting you!"
Zhao Fuli betrayed Shangjia without hesitation and loudly reported it.
"!!!"
Shang Jia suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhao Fuli with a pained expression.
That ungrateful little brat!
"I didn't!"
He withdrew his hand and blatantly lied through his teeth.
"Hey, you're really asking for trouble. Don't try to deny it."
"Why should I admit to something I didn't do!"
He said this without a hint of guilt.
Chen Qing turned around, about to say something, when suddenly a newspaper fell from the sky.
It didn't hit her, but it hit Shangjia, hitting her right on the head.
The first letter appeared, followed by the second and the third, and a whole bunch of newspapers fell from the sky.
All the newspaper deliveryman left them with was a dark, shadowy figure.
To be precise, it was a pitch-black bird's rear end.
"!!!"
Shangjia covered her head in disbelief. It was bad enough that this person was bullying her, but now even the bird was bullying her!
"Don't stop me, I'm definitely eating roasted Savage Bird today!!"
The ferocious bird, which had already flown away, seemed to have heard Shangjia's words. A glint flashed in its eyes, and it suddenly turned back, catching Shangjia off guard.
A clump of bird droppings just fell down.
"..."
"!!!"
They were both shocked and furious.
"No need, no need, it's just a bird."
Blue Ghost offered his gloating advice.
Shang Jia's face darkened, and he suddenly flung the object away.
"!!!"
The bird poop just landed on Blue Ghost's face.
"Aaaaaah—I'm going to kill you, Shangjia!!"
"Oh dear, it's just a pile of bird poop."
Shangjia made a face at the blue ghost and said in a sarcastic tone.
The enraged blue ghost charged upwards, and the two leaders clashed. The remaining pirates and barbarians naturally joined the fray as well.
The scene was far from chaotic.
Chen Qingyou, Gu Haibo, and Qiluo did not participate; the three of them were reading the news in the newspaper.
As expected, the front page headline of the Deep Blue Daily was a declaration of war from the Mechanical Island.
[The Machine Island Declaration: The Deep Blue War Erupts!!]
The title is simple, but the meaning it represents is so heavy.
The decision to wage war often rests with only a few, but the consequences are borne by the vast majority of the world's population.
"Shi Fang Tu is indeed something else."
Haibo Qiluo scoffed. She had actually dragged several other races into this; she wondered what she had promised.
Even the sea creatures got involved.
The beastmen were quite unusual; they didn't participate.
"It's estimated that the orcs will join the war soon, but it's unclear which side they will stand on."
Yougu looked at the list of those who had joined the war in the newspaper and shook his head.
The Orcs are warlike and currently in internal turmoil. The outbreak of the Deep Blue War will help the newly appointed Orc chieftain stabilize the internal situation.
They shift internal conflicts to external pressure, thereby eliminating dissidents and purging internal dissent.
However, this also depends on the methods of the new Great Chieftain of the Orcs; otherwise, it could easily backfire.
However, these things actually have little to do with the people present.
Those from the wealthy Three Seas generally don't associate with those from the poor Three Seas, and the poor Three Seas are too lazy to get involved with them.
It's fine as it is now. Those people are really ruthless. They can't outmaneuver them.
"or……"
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Haibo Qiluo felt a little tempted.
War has always been the easiest way to make money.
Or should they just continue down the dark path?
But I can't bring Jiawan along anymore, or that bitch Bai Xian might get revenge.
Haibo Qiluo and Yougu exchanged a glance and nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Or what?"
Shangjia's voice echoed eerily in their ears, like a ghost.
"Are you two planning to continue your alliance behind my back?"
"How could that be?"
Yougu and Haibo Qiluo said in unison, "Are you kidding? If Shangjia finds out, she'll definitely cause trouble."
"Chen Qing, you speak."
Shangjia turned to look at Chen Qing and asked angrily.
These two brats, they want to get rid of her after they've used her, don't they?
"?"
Chen Qing looked up in confusion and asked what was going on.
Meeting Chen Qing's blank gaze, and adding a pursed lip, she thought, "Fine, this guy's an outsider too."
"Isn't it time to eat?"
Shangjia's thoughts jumped quickly, and he asked Zhao Fuli.
Anyway, it's impossible for Yougu and Haibo Qiluo to get rid of her and go it alone. Shangjia grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth.
That smile looked chilling no matter how you looked at it.
"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat!"
Zhao Fuli cursed and swore as she took out the kitchen utensils from the space. The Demon Dragon Pirates had specially provided her with a space with a considerable capacity to make cooking easier for her.
"Don't forget about us."
Blue Ghost immediately said, "We should save every meal we can, and spend where we can."
"You guys have no shame!"
Zhao Fuli was shocked. How could there be such a shameless person in this world!
Those deserters, there were several hundred of them!
Let's work her to death!
"I'll take care of their meals."
Chen Qing pulled Zhao Fuli back from rushing forward and comforted him.
"Isn't this too much trouble?"
Zhao Fuli's skin wasn't as thick as Jia's.
"It's alright, no trouble at all."
Chen Qing shook his head. The sailor rabbit on the ship carried a pile of cooking fruits off the ship and began to distribute them to the wasteland people one by one.
"What's this?"
Blue Ghost curiously examined the fruit that looked like a coconut.
Sailor Rabbit, with a stern face, helped him open the fruit.
The aroma of food wafted over instantly.
"What a joke!"
The villagers' eyes widened in surprise. Good stuff!
Even Shangjia Yougu, who was standing nearby, became interested. This thing was clearly a plant fruit, but when opened, it turned out to be cooked food.
"I just figured it out, give it a try."
Chen Qing broke off a chopstick from beside the fruit; he had even prepared chopsticks for preparing the fruit.
"Aren't you a mechanic?"
Yougu asked curiously.
"yes."
Chen Qing nodded.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Yougu finally managed to utter a sentence.
"You really are a genius."
"fine."
Chen Qing smiled politely.
Just as the group was about to try the flavor of the cooking fruit, a boastful voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Hey!! Hand over all the valuables on your island to me!!"
"ha?"
Chen Qing, along with You Gu Hai Bo Qi Luo Lan Gui and the other five pirates, turned to look behind them, their faces filled with deep confusion.
