Chapter 180: Chapter 177: Chi She Family, Good Heart Factory_2

"You should marry into the Chi She Family,"

Green Sand Rose said solemnly.

"Since you’ve killed their heir, you might as well replace him."

She was not joking; the killed was the heir, not just any common family offspring.

The boy from the Chi She Family was not one of those ordinary heirs, but the sole heir.

Their sole heir was murdered; it was no wonder the Chi She Family would fight with Chen Qing to the death.

It was said that the talent of that boy from the Chi She family in mechanics was freakishly good, and he had had high hopes of inheriting the leadership of the Chi She Family in the Scarlet Sea Domain.

It seemed Chen Qing was also quite capable, but it was uncertain if he was enough to compensate for the loss.

"Thank you for your kindness,"

Chen Qing nodded to Green Sand Rose, walked past her, and headed outside.

The combat-type machinery followed Chen Qing’s movements, stepping past the stunned Green Sand Rose as they left together.

"Ah, you’re welcome,"

Green Sand Rose watched Chen Qing’s back, surprised. Her usually fierce face made such an expression look rather comical.

Had this machinery become Chen Qing’s belongings just by meeting them briefly?

Could his talent be more terrifying than that of Chi Shehui?

Green Sand Rose did not dwell much on it, as she was busy.

Since Hannah betrayed Rust Island, her second-hand store naturally fell under the Rose Family, and soon people would need to be arranged to audit Hannah’s finances.

She hoped Chen Qing would leave Rust Island soon; she didn’t want Rust Island to be involved in any troubling affairs.

But this, Green Sand Rose didn’t dare say directly to Chen Qing, as it might offend him.

After leaving Hannah’s shop, Chen Qing continued to his next destination, the Good Heart Factory.

The Good Heart Factory was under the Rose Family, so the issue that had occurred with Hannah wouldn’t happen here.

But the Good Heart Factory was not a good place either.

There, Chen Qing saw the largest number of humans since she had come to the island—countless children ranging from ages five to fifteen.

There were not just children, but also some parents who had brought their kids along.

Chen Qing stood at the entrance of the Good Heart Factory as a couple passed by her, excitedly counting their money and praising the factory.

They continually spoke highly of the Good Heart Factory, where not only could children be sent for free to learn the mechanic profession, but parents could also receive a handsome gratitude fee.

But is there really such a good thing in this world?

Behind the couple, a child cried and stumbled after them.

How could it be possible.

Everything was to be extracted from these children at the Good Heart Factory.

They naturally had their ways.

Extremely low labor costs, extracting profits from these children was one of the fastest ways to accumulate capital.

The Rose Family rose to prominence by this means.

A machine would cost several silver coins, but raising these children in an assembly-line fashion cost maybe even less than the price of one machine.

Moreover, if they could discover a child with talent, the Rose Family wouldn’t lose out at all; they would make a huge profit.

The rest could only work themselves to death for the Good Heart Factory.

And this was just one of the cruel aspects of this world.

The child who was chasing after his parents couldn’t catch up and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

A dirt-smeared boy hurriedly came from behind Chen Qing, lifted the child, and comforted her skillfully; they were all too familiar with such scenes.

Once, they had all been part of this.

Chen Qing was a guest of the Good Heart Factory, so the boy holding the child kept his distance from her.

However, the crying child ended up splattering a mix of tears and snot on Chen Qing.

Instantly, the entire factory seemed to pause!

The boy stood petrified watching Chen Qing, trembling uncontrollably, tightly covering the child’s mouth, his face filled with fear and helplessness.

How would this adult treat them?

After all, he was just a child himself.

"Sorry, sorry, apologies to you, sir, please forgive our unintentional mistake,"

The girl knelt suddenly on the ground, almost lying prostrate, heavily kowtowing towards Chen Qing, quickly bloodying her forehead.

She looked frail, her backbone visibly protruding, trembling uncontrollably.

The factory was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard, and in this silence, Chen Qing’s footsteps were profoundly audible.
