Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Screwed Up

Silver Light, upon seeing the Mechanical Spider Bomb released by Chen Qing, had an unexpected first thought...

With such strong talent, those old-timers in Treasure Sea would probably like her a lot.

They’d desire nothing more than to immediately capture her, lock her away, and have her learn about mechanics every day, with no time to do anything but eat and study, not even sleep.

If she didn’t study, then she would simply marry and bear children with talent for the family.

A dark look crossed Silver Light’s eyes; he truly detested these Mechanics.

With this thought, Silver Light, without hesitation, discarded the turret he held. It crashed heavily to the ground, raising a circle of dust.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing strong arms, and slipped on metallic boxing gloves.

The metallic boxing gloves should have been black, but they appeared dirty, with dark brown spots that looked as though they could never be washed clean.

They were stains left by the lives of innocent people who had died at Silver Light’s hands.

Chen Qing, as she was now, could be killed by him with just one punch.

Indeed, Chen Qing’s current state was anything but good.

The mechanical turret’s firepower was truly terrifying, and Chen Qing had no way to dodge it.

Even with the protection of the Super Shield Whale, she couldn’t completely avoid it.

The explosive power of the blast caused Chen Qing serious injuries, and fragments from the bomb cut her eye corners, eyes, and forehead.

That wasn’t the extent of her injuries; half of Chen Qing’s body felt as if it was no longer her own, especially her right arm, which hung limp and soft.

Blood flowed down Chen Qing’s eyes, seeping into her gas mask.

The blood, thick with the stench of metal, completely blurred her vision, rendering that eye blind.

Silver Light’s projectiles must have been laced with something toxic.

Upon realizing this, Chen Qing’s first instinct was that she should start to learn medical knowledge.

Since ancient times, medicine and poison were closely related; after all, many mechanical creations had healing capabilities.

If Chen Qing wanted to advance further in the Mechanic profession, merely dedicating herself to studying Mechanics-related skills was not enough.

One can only become a polygonal fighter with no weaknesses and master Mechanics by relentlessly improving oneself.

No profession, whether Mechanic or another, ever reached the pinnacle through isolated study alone.

Chen Qing held a Golden Magic Jade in her mouth, suppressing the rising taste of blood in her body.

This was the first time Chen Qing found herself so disheveled; even when facing White Immortal before, she had never been this miserable.

But back then, Chen Qing hadn’t faced White Immortal head-on, and White Immortal wasn’t skilled in close combat anyway.

The members of the Cross Star might be a mess, but their strength was genuine.

In the blink of an eye, Silver Light was already in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing, who had lost most of her combat power, couldn’t react fast enough, and Silver Light aimed a fierce punch at her head.

Chen Qing raised her hand, the Black Blade in it pressing against Silver Light’s fist, barely resisting. The blade’s edge grazed Chen Qing’s cheek, creating several sizable cuts.

Her face was already covered in blood.

"What a pity, new partner," Silver Light said mercilessly, mocking as another of his fists brutally hit Chen Qing’s abdomen, one blow after another, with full force.

It was as though he intended to beat her alive into two halves.

The intense pain was nearly unbearable, hindering coherent thought, but Chen Qing still maintained her clarity and calmness.

The more intense the feeling, the more rational she became.

Neither Silver Light nor A Zhiqiu was as rational as Shine and Shuguang.

They could easily be overcome by intense emotions, leading them to make choices that could hardly be called correct.

Just like now, when it was clearly the best choice to just kill Chen Qing swiftly and decisively, yet he insisted on torturing her instead.

Silver Light was confident in his own strength, while also being overwhelmed by the sadistic desires in his heart.

He was utterly obsessed with making Chen Qing kneel and submit, and he couldn’t think of anything else.

"Silver Light, kill her!"

Witnessing this scene, Shine’s expression suddenly turned cold, and she commanded directly.

Impatience filled Silver Light’s eyes, and his face plainly spelled out the words "I won’t listen."

He acted as if he hadn’t heard, pulled a sharp little dagger from his boxing gloves, and easily pierced Chen Qing’s flesh. Blood flowed down from the wound, and Chen Qing was instantly covered in blood.

But Silver Light still wasn’t satisfied; this was just the beginning.

Next, Chen Qing’s eyes, ears, teeth, fingernails... even her bones, he planned to torture her bit by bit.

"Newcomer, if you kneel and beg me, I’ll give you a quick death, how about that?"

Silver Light leaned close to Chen Qing with a grin, whispering in her ear as if sharing a secret.

"Get lost——"

Chen Qing spat out a breathy sound, but Silver Light didn’t feel anger; this was what made it fun.

"Silver Light——I said kill her!"

What Shine despised most was their refusal to obey commands.

Shuguang was better in this regard; whether she obeyed commands or not, at least she had the brains not to affect the big picture.

But Liu Jin and Silver Light were purely driven by their beastly nature over their human side, very easily controlled by their negative emotions.

However, Liu Jin was more easily controlled by Shine, while Silver Light was thoroughly disobedient.

As for Huan Cai, her thoughts didn’t matter; aside from obedience, she had no other choice.

"I——know——alright——"

Silver Light elongated his voice, annoyed, moving slowly like an old man.

However, the next second, an unforeseen event occurred!

From Chen Qing’s ears suddenly emerged several super-mini Mechanical Spider Bombs, moving at incredible speed, shooting from Chen Qing’s earlobes onto Silver Light!

Because Silver Light was too close to Chen Qing, his face changed drastically.

The mini Mechanical Spider Bombs that shot onto him disappeared without a trace, their sharp claws easily slicing through the defenses of Silver Light’s clothes.

Silver Light became somewhat frantic; being born in a family of Mechanics, he knew all too well the power of these little gadgets.

Especially since Chen Qing was a Mechanic with natural talent.

"Heh."

Chen Qing’s mocking was no longer a concern for Silver Light, who felt the Mechanical Spiders slicing his skin and crawling all over him.

The most terrifying part wasn’t this, but the fact that the Mechanical Spider Bombs walked around only to disappear.

Where did they go?

There was only one possibility.

Silver Light definitely didn’t want to become a human bomb!

Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed at Chen Qing, prepared to twist off her head and smash it!

"Idiot."

Shine’s expression was extremely sour; this idiot, he finally messed up.

The only two idiots in the team were going to die at Chen Qing’s hands.
