Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Leaderboard Points Skyrocket

The members of the Sea Clan carried a large number of precious gems, roughly equal in quantity to those that Chen Qing had hired Gem Hunters to salvage since she participated in activities.

Moreover, these precious gems were not few, speculated to be worth around forty thousand goldfish.

Among them, the most valuable was a golden pearl found on Zhuoshui.

As for its specific use, Chen Qing still needed to find a professional to identify it, as her current identification skills were not accurate enough to determine the pearl’s function and value.

The members of the Sea Clan truly had high value, and the primary reason Chen Qing could kill them all at once lay not only in the part played by the Wind Shadow Jade.

The main reason was the Dead Water in her possession.

The Sea Clan, engrossed in battle, had not noticed the very thin layer of Dead Water quietly released by the Mini Rabbits.

Dead Water was lethal to the Sea Clan, and these traces floating in the seawater caused changes they themselves hadn’t even noticed.

It must be said, Chen Qing appeared to be open and upright, pitying the weak, never lay hands on civilians, which made her seem somewhat saintlike and resentful.

However, her ways of conducting affairs were completely contrary to the character she displayed.

Throughout Chen Qing’s journey, she had always been unscrupulous, utilizing everything to its maximum extent.

Besides the benefits of Extraordinary Points and money, there was also a dramatic increase in Chen Qing’s leaderboard points.

Of course, these weren’t brought by the Sea Clan.

This was also thanks to the Wind Shadow Jade outside, along with... Blood Spirit and Sword Dance Mantis.

Yes, Chen Qing had not only released Blood Spirit but also created and activated the Sword Dance Mantis.

Both were extremely uncontrollable factors.

However, sometimes, two negatives could produce a positive.

Although the Sword Dance Mantis was uncontrollable and very dangerous, Chen Qing had modified its original core commands.

Generally, such Mechanical Creations’ core commands are to obey the master’s orders or the like.

But Chen Qing took an unusual path, directly modifying its core command and all other commands.

All the command cores aimed to make the Sword Dance Mantis kill Blood Spirit.

Blood Spirit, which feeds on flesh and blood, grew at a terrifying rate.

Once submerged in the deep sea, it was like a mouse that had entered a rice container; within a few hours, Chen Qing felt it trying to resist the contract.

But, it would soon be too busy to worry about that.

The Sword Dance Mantis that was pursuing it would soon track down its trail.

Chen Qing only needed to keep their strengths controlled within a certain range.

The two constantly battling would inevitably wear down each other’s strength, and at the right moment, Chen Qing would appear to clean up the aftermath.

The clever part of this arrangement was that Sword Dance Mantis belonged to Chen Qing, any damage it caused to Blood Spirit would provide Chen Qing with Extraordinary Points.

Even if things went out of control and she couldn’t manage the situation, Chen Qing could still continuously gain Extraordinary Points.

Chen Qing could also use these continually accruing Extraordinary Points to strengthen herself, thus achieving her goals.

Even if Sword Dance Mantis went rogue, not following core orders, as long as it had inflicted damage on Blood Spirit, the latter would remember it as an enemy.

Even if Blood Spirit didn’t hold a grudge, being a being of pure animalistic intelligence, it would see Sword Dance Mantis, a highly threatening Mechanical Creation, as a threat...

For safety’s sake, it would find a way to eliminate Sword Dance Mantis too.

Once Blood Spirit attacked Sword Dance Mantis, the two were inevitably bound to fight to the death.

But this was the last resort; whether it was Sword Dance Mantis or Blood Spirit, if they were still causing trouble after the gemstone salvaging period, Chen Qing was sure to be judged by the authorities of the Deep Blue Sea.

Chen Qing arranged for several Wind Shadow Jades, whose mechanical cores she had invaded, to follow the two of them, ready to use suicidal attacks to control the situation when necessary, waiting for Chen Qing’s arrival.

Her arrangement proved to be very effective, as the points skyrocketing in her row on the leaderboard indicated.

Even though it was in the dead of night, there were still survivors who noticed this.

"For heaven’s sake, wake up, wake up!"

"What’s up!"

A survivor, deep in sleep, was woken by his companion’s screaming. Blinking sleepily, he yawned, barely holding back a curse.

"Quick, look at the leaderboard!"

On the leaderboard, Chen Qing’s ranking was climbing at an eerily rapid pace.

Initially, her ranking had been around two to three hundred, affecting nothing of the situation, and not catching the notice of survivors.

But now, Chen Qing’s rank had squeezed into the top hundred and was still rising.

Meanwhile, among those in the top hundred survivors, some had their points frozen, while others simply disappeared from the leaderboard.

With these two lines in parallel, Chen Qing’s ranking shot upwards.

However, the problems of the survivors were not Chen Qing’s doing.

This was, thanks to the Great Person, Bai Xian Yuanfei.

Like Shang Jia, being a pirate force, Yuan Fei was not as easy to negotiate with.

Since joining the battle, White Immortal had already started hunting those top-ranked survivors.

The survivors in the top rankings were all in great danger, resorting to extreme measures for survival.

However, not all survivors were scared of White Immortal.

This was a survivor’s event, so how could they let White Immortal muddle the waters?

Several nations united and likewise launched a counterattack against White Immortal.

These issues were most likely unrelated to Chen Qing, who, like Shang Jia, preferred to focus on Treasure Fish, quietly hunting them down.

Rather than trying every means to eliminate her competitors.

Of course, this did not mean Chen Qing and Shang Jia were good people; they simply didn’t like to operate that way, not that they couldn’t.

After dealing with the Sea Clan, Chen Qing did not immediately leave the lair, as not only was the Sea Clan watching the Wind Shadow Jade, but some people from the Jade Island were also watching.

It was just unknown whether they would dare to continue after seeing the misery of the Sea Clan.

Chen Qing took out a distribution map, and very quickly planned a new hunting route based on the real-time information from the Gem Observation Team.

In the nest, apart from Chen Qing and the group of Muscle Turtles, the only living beings left were Wu Yi and the photographer.

The two were certainly shocked, if not utterly astounded, by everything that had happened.

They had not expected Chen Qing to be so powerful!

Had she been hiding her skills before?

What a tactician!

If they could broadcast the news from within the nest, it would surely cause a great stir.

The more people who had doubted Chen Qing before, the greater the backlash would be!

Wu Yi and the photographer were thrilled, their excitement even numbing the pain of their injuries.

However, after Chen Qing left the nest with the Mechanical Creations and the Muscle Turtles, the two discovered, to their astonishment, that all the footage they had shot had vanished completely.
