Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Doctor Gui Shu of the Abnormal State Sect

All plants were of one color, the entire island was saturated with the same hue.

Although it may have felt a bit odd, Gui Shu, the Island Master, took delight in it; he enjoyed this surprising feeling every day when he opened his window.

To most people, the color of the whole island was the same; they found it very difficult to discern the subtle differences between colors.

But Gui Shu had the talent to differentiate, in his eyes, every plant had a different hue.

Even if the wind that blew every day was the same, Gui Shu could still distinguish their differences from extremely subtle aspects.

Besides being a doctor, when he had no patients, Gui Shu also liked to paint.

If he had not become a doctor, he certainly would have been a famous artist!

Many patients who came to see Gui Shu for treatment, as well as their families, got lost among these identically colored plants, wandering around unable to find their way.

However, all this had nothing to do with Chen Qing, who was now blind and could not see anything.

When the eyes cannot see, the heart becomes clear; the Blast Battle Rabbit and Super Shield Whale acting as her eyes were even less affected by these things.

Strictly speaking, as mechanical creations, both of them did not possess human-like vision, so naturally they were not influenced by the plants.

Moreover, Gui Shu did not intentionally use these plants to mislead patients.

So, under the guidance of the Blast Battle Rabbit and Super Shield Whale, Chen Qing arrived smoothly at Gui Shu’s residence.

A house composed entirely of blue plants.

Of course, Chen Qing still could not see it.

The doctor named Gui Shu was watering the plants at the door; the soil color of Wind Charm Island was different from other places.

"A new patient?"

Gui Shu put down his watering can and looked closely at Chen Qing.

As a doctor of the Abnormal State Sect, he immediately saw the issue with Chen Qing.

The patient was well-disguised, but still could not fool his eyes.

She had been infected by some unknown entities, which caused her to lose all her sensory abilities.

It was only in the initial stage now; she had only lost the five senses.

With time, if the infection deepened, she would lose even more.

The ability to control her limbs, followed by her spiritual power, until she completely lost control over herself.

This was a very terrifying contagious disease.

Yes, the disease on Chen Qing was a contagious disease.

She was not the first patient Gui Shu had seen; there had been many before Chen Qing with similar symptoms.

Chen Qing’s symptoms were considered mild among the many patients, the most severe one that Gui Shu had seen had already reached the final stage.

If it weren’t for the fact that the patient had such a distinguished status, he wouldn’t have let it get this far.

The descendants, eager for power and wealth, watched coldly as the patient’s disease progressed to the terminal stage; only when it was too late did they realize that the patient had hidden the family’s most secret treasure.

Only then did those blinded by self-interest start to desperately seek medical help, but Gui Shu was also unable to do anything.

After treating so many cases, Gui Shu realized this infectious disease was quite selective.

It was like a living being, as the targets it chose to infect were without exception, those with wealth, power, influence, or exceptional talent.

Chen Qing’s current condition was still in the early stage, which was relatively easy to treat; simply taking a potion could kill and expel the infectious agent from the body.

"The cost for treatment, five thousand goldfish."

Gui Shu stepped out of the house with five vials of potion, contained within glass tubes. The liquid in them was transparent, appearing no different from mineral water.

He handed the potion to the Blast Battle Rabbit standing beside Chen Qing, his fingertips and nails meticulously groomed, distinct at the joint.

Despite an exceedingly ordinary appearance, he exuded a warm and refined temperament.

One term seemed particularly apt to describe Gui Shu: a budget-friendly bachelor.

No wonder there were always pirates trying to abduct Gui Shu.

The Blast Battle Rabbit didn’t immediately take the potion, preferring to await Chen Qing’s reaction, thus Gui Shu also turned his gaze towards her.

Gui Shu’s curiosity was usually quite faint, but he found himself somewhat intrigued by the person before him.

He recognized the woman in front of him.

Or rather, he had seen her in the Deep Blue Newspaper.

Chen Qing, born a sea wanderer, a mechanic whose allegiance was unclear, suspected of leaning towards being neutral or favoring the Bounty Hunters. She had good relations with School Mechanics from Sapphire Island, Jade Island, and Treasure Sea.

There were rumors that the war between the Babalu Family and the Delu Gu family was single-handedly instigated by her.

Recently, her fame had become immensely significant, at one point even surpassing Demon Dragon, completely overshadowing the wartime crisis in the Deep Blue Sea region.

And there Chen Qing was, awaiting the conclusion of the auction.

Having acquired a new ship, it was natural for Chen Qing to want to sell off the pirate ship to recoup some funds, which frankly wouldn’t fetch much if sold to Yiye Shipyard.

Rather than selling to Yiye Shipyard, it was better to sell to survivors. Not to mention fetching a high price, breaking even was certainly doable for Chen Qing.

She had made many modifications to the ship, some beneficial and some subpar.

The addition that most significantly increased the ship’s value was the mechanical arms she had installed for salvaging gemstones.

For survivors, using these to salvage materials was perfect.

These modifications were trivial for Chen Qing but very useful for them.

Chen Qing didn’t stop at just these improvements; she had mechanically modified other ship compartments like the kitchen, the storage, the washroom, and the cultivation area, greatly relieving the burden of the survivors who would buy the ship.

This ship was most suited for a lone wolf.

However, a group could use it too, only needing a few minor adjustments.

With the onboard cannons and other weaponry, its price was naturally buoyed high, these minor flaws easily overlooked.

The pirate ship from the Black Sabre Pirate Group was of pretty good quality, sturdy and durable.

The moment Chen Qing’s auction began, it immediately drew the attention of a substantial number of survivors.

The rankings had just concluded, Chen Qing’s popularity was at its height, and this pirate ship could definitely fetch a rather decent price.

After all, a lot of survivors from Dragon Country were quite superstitious about feng shui.

Although the ship’s first owner had an ill-fated reputation, it nonetheless belonged to a Great Pirate of the Deep Blue Sea.

With the additional cachet of the well-known figure Chen Qing, the bidding price for the ship naturally soared.

Black Blade and his crew also owed some thanks to Chen Qing; though they were a bunch of dead people, they managed to gain a bit of notoriety among survivors.

They had found some form of renown in death.

The old ship had been up for auction since Chen Qing acquired her new ship, and had been ongoing up until now, with the price reaching 9,600 goldfish.

This price was a bit overvalued, but it likely hadn’t reached its peak yet.

The ship itself was worth several thousand goldfish on its own. It might not be an Extraordinary Ship, but its quality was indeed very good.

With all sorts of various and sundry boosts tacked on, Chen Qing anticipated it could sell for over ten thousand goldfish.
