Chapter 109 A Rare Moment of Depression
"?"
Seeing them laughing together, Chen Qing had no idea what they were laughing about, but that didn't stop him from going about his own business.
The new mechanical creatures created by the Assistant Bees were distributed as miniature versions of the Battle Rabbit. Unlike the cool and dashing Battle Rabbit, the miniature rabbits looked cute and chubby.
Chen Qing modified the blueprints using existing materials, removing many functions but retaining some combat capabilities.
Although it is not as strong as the Explosive Rabbit Hunter, its power should not be underestimated, and its weapon has been modified by Chen Qing into a heavy hammer.
Mini Bunny can be mass-produced; Chen Qing spent two hours "improving" the blueprints.
It must be said that every item Lei Guang and her team brought was extremely rare in the Deep Blue Sea, and was priceless.
The success of Mini Rabbit has eased Chen Qing's worries, and she has been going out of the studio for fresh air more often these past two days.
Although Xia Li had warned Chen Qing that the incompletely failed version of the Sword Dance Mantis was dangerous, but...
Chen Qing attempted to improve the Blade Dance Mantis, but the incomplete version of Blade Dance Mantis had too many flaws and side effects, making it extremely easy to go out of control.
Given its formidable fighting power, Xia Li's warning was correct.
If a Scyther is created and cannot be controlled, the consequences can be dire.
Chen Qing spent two days without finding any suitable points for improvement, so she created a mini rabbit to improve her mood.
Modifying the Explosive Battle Rabbit is indeed much simpler. If it weren't for the lack of suitable materials, Chen Qing could make an enhanced version of the Explosive Battle Rabbit.
To be honest, the fact that the Mantis Dancer had nowhere to attack made Chen Qing, who had always had a smooth run of success, feel frustrated for the first time.
She was really a little depressed.
However, she rarely showed these emotions.
"You're drinking in broad daylight?"
After Gao Yue calmed down, she turned around and found Chen Qing pouring her a drink.
She couldn't identify what kind of liquor it was; it must have been strong liquor, as she could smell the strong alcohol odor from afar.
Does the ranking really put that much pressure on Chen Qing?
Gao Yue was somewhat influenced by the comments made by the survivors.
"Don't worry, we will do our best to help you."
"Not only us, but many others are on their way. Nobody wants you to lose."
Gao Yue spoke solemnly to Chen Qing, hoping that Chen Qing could cheer up.
After all... they really staked a lot of money.
"??"
Chen Qing always felt that she lived in a different world from them, and sometimes she really couldn't understand what they were saying.
"I think you might have misunderstood something."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing decided to explain.
However, Qiao Zhiyu and the others misunderstood her as putting on a brave face, and they all laughed it off and followed her lead, quickly changing the subject.
However, the expressions on their faces didn't convey that meaning.
"..."
never mind.
Chen Qing stopped dwelling on the matter, picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy liquor went down his throat, and his eyebrows and eyes turned a light red.
It's uncertain whether the improvements to the Mantis will proceed smoothly; given Chen Qing's current strength, it's definitely too much of a stretch.
"..."
Chen Qing let out a barely audible sigh, which went unnoticed by anyone.
However... when the host of the gem observation team on the sea saw Chen Qing drinking, he immediately started to exaggerate the situation.
The claims that Chen Qing, knowing his defeat was inevitable, drowned his sorrows in alcohol, and that he had likely bet everything he had, losing everything overnight and forced to work to pay off his debts, are a bunch of nonsensical rumors and speculations.
But it must be said that many people will believe such rumors.
After all, Chen Qing's ranking has remained relatively stable, and his points have increased very slowly.
Compared to Chen Qing, it's better to bet on Zhao Fuli, who bet on the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew. The Demon Dragon Pirate Crew is at least the strongest pirate crew in the Deep Blue Sea, without exception.
The only noteworthy thing is that Chen Qing's points are basically composed of blue-quality gems.
After drinking a few glasses of strong liquor, Chen Qing was about to return to the studio to continue her battle with the Sword Dance Spider when Gao Yue suddenly called out to her.
"Chen Qing."
"Um?"
"Although we haven't known each other for very long, I think I understand your personality fairly well."
Gao Yue took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"I only have one question for you."
"Um."
Chen Qing turned to look at Gao Yue, her eyes indifferent and devoid of any emotion, calm and detached.
"You're aiming for first place in this gem event, aren't you?"
Gao Yue stared intently at Chen Qing and asked solemnly.
"Um."
The simple answer brought a huge sigh of relief to Gao Yue and the others.
Chen Qing's goal is simply to win first place. Although she seems to be doing nothing right now, Gao Yue and the others believe that Chen Qing has her own plan in mind.
Just like Dahlia back then.
When this incident was reported in the Deep Blue Daily, Qiao Zhiyu and the others never expected that the child was actually Daliya.
Chen Qing acted as if it were the real thing, and even named Daliya Chen He.
Gao Yue wasn't surprised; instead, she had a feeling that she had expected this.
Since Chen Qing already had a plan, they would just follow her instructions.
I believe Chen Qing will not let them down.
It doesn't matter if he didn't get first place; at least Chen Qing didn't give up, but really tried his best.
They would feel somewhat comforted.
"Is there anything we can do? We'll do whatever you say."
Gao Yue took the initiative to ask. Although they said they were helping Chen Qing win first place, Gao Yue knew that they were actually fighting for their own interests.
"More survivors will arrive at Island 266 in the next couple of days. We'll follow your instructions."
"I remember... you guys seem to be pretty good at tracking?"
When Gao Yue said that, Chen Qing remembered something.
"almost."
They are indeed quite good at tracking.
"You are responsible for finding the exact location of the Wind Shadow Jade, and also for monitoring the movements of the sea creatures and other forces in the deep sea."
Since Gao Yue had spoken, Chen Qing didn't stand on ceremony with them.
Compared to those gem hunters, Gao Yue and her companions were indeed more suitable to monitor those sea creatures.
They are superhumans, and superhumans with considerable abilities.
"no problem."
Qiao Zhiyu made a gesture of entrusting them with her care, implying that Chen Qing only needed to strive for first place!
Please.
Chen Qing nodded slightly, then turned and went back to the studio.
She planned to spend another three days working on the Blade Dance Mantis, and if there was still no progress, she would give up and change her plans.
Five days from now, the Wind Shadow Emerald will be about to enter its egg-laying period.
However, at that time, the sea creatures were most vigilant in their defenses, making it difficult for them to attack.
As long as the exact location of the Wind Shadow Jadeite is found, and Chen Qing is given the opportunity to approach it, she will definitely be able to hack into the mechanical core of the Wind Shadow Jadeite!
