Chapter 181: Chapter 177 Chi She Family, Good Heart Factory_3

As footsteps approached, despair spread through the heart of the young girl.

A pair of boots appeared in her line of sight, and, frightened, she closed her eyes, bracing herself to face her own fate.

Perhaps, dying like this wouldn’t be such a bad ending.

However, the anticipated pain did not occur.

Chen Qing bent down, took the girl’s slender arm, and helped her up from the ground.

"..."

The girl looked up blankly at Chen Qing, who cast her eyes down, gently placed her hand on the girl’s head, and patted it.

"It’s okay."

"Wh-what?"

The girl was somewhat incredulous, momentarily unsure how to react.

"I said it’s okay."

Chen Qing’s face was expressionless, as she calmly repeated her words.

Blood trickled down the girl’s forehead, Chen Qing, with a stern face and gentle movements, wiped the blood off her face bit by bit.

The handkerchief soaked in medicine quickly stopped the blood on the girl’s wound, Chen Qing’s voice sounded cold.

"This isn’t a big deal; you don’t need to be afraid."

A tube of ointment landed in the girl’s palm, Chen Qing watched her own clean palm get dusty from touch.

A single tear suddenly fell from the girl’s eyes, landing in the dirty palm.

Chen Qing did not see it, but she was keenly aware of it.

"Tsk tsk, if just one of these two were a man, this would be a classic redemption story,"

An extremely abrupt voice suddenly broke the silence, followed by snickering and jeering.

Chen Qing turned her head to look at the group of survivors who had spoken, and as soon as they saw Chen Qing’s face, their voices suddenly vanished.

As if their mouths had been sewn shut.

Chen Qing’s face, after the gemstone activity and the Ghost Moon Pirates incident—any survivor active across the Seven Seas recognized her.

The survivors had never imagined encountering Chen Qing on Rust Island, of all places.

Could the rumors be true?!

Did Chen Qing really owe a huge debt?!

Otherwise, why would someone of Chen Qing’s status appear in a place like Rust Island?!

They always said it!

Chen Qing’s ranking had to be bought!

Look what they had discovered!

How could a lone wolf woman possibly compete with survivors who had official power and large teams supporting them on the rankings?

Excitement glittered in their eyes, as if Chen Qing was exactly as they had imagined, completely ignoring the logical inconsistencies.

But, under the oppressive presence that Chen Qing presented, they dared not speak a word.

Luckily for them, Chen Qing just glanced at them and didn’t do anything except walk into the Good Heart Factory.

Though the Good Heart Factory was a bit unscrupulous, the products it turned out were famously good and reasonably priced.

The assembly line equipment produced by this factory was also reputedly excellent; even second-hand equipment was nearly as good as new.

As for the happenings inside the Good Heart Factory, indeed, those weren’t something Chen Qing could manage.

She could rescue all these children—Rust Island couldn’t do anything against her, but these children were different from Daliya’s and those survivors’ children.

They were all sold by their families to the Good Heart Factory; nominally, they were Mechanic Apprentices, but in reality, they were all slaves of the Good Heart Factory.

These children had nowhere to go.

Chen Qing had quite a few enemies in Treasure Sea; even if she rescued them, they would only be sold to another Good Heart Factory.

It was a helpless reality.

The Good Heart Factory was large and ran very smoothly; it was also represented by a mechanic.

Chen Qing directly placed an order for a batch of factories there.

Military machinery, support machinery, household machinery, agricultural processing, livestock processing,...

All kinds of factories were available.

And because they were second-hand, the prices were more than half lower than those of a regular factory.

Such a large factory order from Chen Qing would indeed keep the Good Heart Factory busy for a while; they would probably have to rush to fulfill her order.

After paying a deposit, Chen Qing left the Good Heart Factory.

After leaving the Good Heart Factory, Chen Qing turned her head and contacted someone, an old acquaintance from the original world.

The affairs of the Good Heart Factory weren’t something Chen Qing could manage, but that didn’t mean Chen Qing would ignore them.

Chen Qing never stood by idly while the helpless suffered in front of her.

Even when she had faced Cross Star, despite her inadequate strength at the time, she had slain Silver Light and still searched for the whereabouts of the remaining Cross Star members.
