Chapter 185: Chapter 179: The Farmer’s Divine Skill, Teng Wanlin and the Dawn Team

The notion dawned on her, and Gao Yue felt her skin crawl with goosebumps.

If what Chen Cheng said was true, that Chen Qing was naturally bad to the core, then Chen Qing as a person...

Was indeed quite terrifying.

No, she should say extremely terrifying.

The Chen Qing Gao Yue knew was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Though mostly very indifferent, standing aloof from worldly matters.

But, when facing the weak, she showed compassion and pity, emotions that weren’t faked.

"..."

However, if all of that was a disguise, how horrifying would the real Chen Qing be?

These could be fabrications from Chen Cheng, but for some reason, Gao Yue felt that she was probably telling the truth.

Because sometimes, the vibe Chen Qing gave off was indeed very indifferent, the kind of indifference that came with no emotional fluctuations toward anyone or anything.

Should one call it bestial, or divine?

A person utterly devoid of empathy could display such tenderness.

Such a person, whether as a friend or an enemy...

A flicker of fear crossed Gao Yue’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

However, Chen Cheng still managed to capture her emotion precisely, and she was extremely satisfied with herself.

Out of all the kids in the orphanage, Chen Qing was the one she despised most.

Not only did Chen Qing attract all the adults’ attention, but she even stole the trust of the children that Chen Cheng had worked hard to win over! They were more afraid of Chen Qing than her!

Whatever Chen Qing said went!

They were all the same kind of people, all bearing the same worthless, bug-like genes, all detesting everything in this world, clearly...

Yet, whenever people mentioned Chen Qing, it was always with regret and admiration.

And she... no matter how well she did, everyone’s gaze would always land on Chen Qing first!

Resentment surged in her heart, but Chen Cheng’s facade remained serene as she watched everyone with a jovial smile.

Gao Yue glanced at Chen Cheng without revealing anything. Chen Qing was certainly fearsome, but this woman was the one who truly deserved caution.

Her every action appeared to manipulate their extreme emotions toward Chen Qing, and Gao Yue was no fool.

During her time with Chen Qing, she hadn’t done anything to harm them.

In fact, they had received quite a few favors from Chen Qing.

Compared to Chen Cheng, whose background and character were unknown, Gao Yue was more inclined to trust Chen Qing.

Just by looking at the attitude of the people behind Chen Cheng, it was apparent she was far from the harmless creature she seemed.

Gao Yue’s thoughts spun, and she didn’t engage in further conversation with Chen Cheng for the remainder of the voyage.

She still trusted Chen Qing more.

She felt it was necessary to warn Chen Qing that Chen Cheng was dangerous and was undoubtedly targeting her.

Given Gao Yue’s stance, Qiao Zhiyu and the others naturally didn’t interact much with Chen Cheng either.

Qiao Zhiyu was intuitive, and her instincts were much stronger than Gao Yue’s; she stayed away from Chen Cheng from start to finish.

As for the others... Chen Cheng was indeed very capable.

Before they even reached Rust Island, the others already trusted Chen Cheng completely, taking her word for anything she said.

Qiao Zhiyu had observed them. They truly believed in Chen Cheng, entrusting their money to her in hopes that she would accomplish something great.

A bunch of fools.

Qiao Zhiyu had no desire to associate with them.

And so, the fleet setting sail from Dragon Country’s temporary base split into two factions.

One was Gao Yue’s group, and the rest were all aligned with Chen Cheng.

It wasn’t that Gao Yue was inferior to Chen Cheng, but compared to Chen Cheng’s appeal to the masses, Gao Yue only sought to recruit elites suitable for their team.

Moreover, she wouldn’t even consider someone if they weren’t an Extraordinary Ability User.

The two were simply not on the same path.

And as for Chen Qing, she was even more different, maintaining an aloof and unapproachable demeanor.

While Chen Cheng was charming the survivors, Chen Qing was busy in the agricultural area, innovating.

Automatic soil turning, sowing, irrigating, fertilizing, and harvesting were just the most basic functions.

Chen Qing created a batch of "Agricultural Experts" capable of diagnosing and treating common plant diseases and conditions.

"Agricultural Expert" was a name coined by Chen Qing, who admittedly lacked a knack for naming.

There would probably be "Livestock Experts" and "Fisheries Experts" to follow.

The Agricultural Expert was a new model of robot created by Chen Qing, combining all the best features from blueprints collected by Qing Xian.
