Chapter 211: Chapter 187: Silver Birch Gears, Rune Storm_3

"There are a total of 51,356 White Quality Material Boxes, 4,326 Green Quality Material Boxes, 154 Blue Quality Material Boxes, 2 Purple Quality Material Boxes, and 1 Special Supply Box."

The Mechanical Heart replied methodically.

Excluding the white, green, and blue ones, there were only three material boxes that might actually contain something good.

"From now on, have someone open the white, green, and blue quality material boxes and register the contents. If they’re useful, put them to use; if not, store them in the warehouse,"

"Bring over the purple and special supply boxes."

Chen Qing instructed.

"Yes."

Soon, the Mini Rabbit appeared before Chen Qing, holding three small boxes on its head.

Even though the Mini Rabbits always belonged to the Mao Rabbit Army, as the most numerous mechanical creations on the ship, they were constantly being moved wherever needed.

The small bodies bore a great workload.

"From now on, keep the Mao Rabbit Army at three thousand, one thousand Blast Battle Rabbits and two thousand Mini Rabbits. That number doesn’t need to change."

"Additionally, reassemble a Rose Army and incorporate Bai Can into the Rose Army."

Neither the Mini Rabbit nor the Blast Battle Rabbit could keep up with Chen Qing’s level of combat anymore, especially the Mini Rabbits.

Every battle, they were the quickest and most numerous to die, barely playing any significant role.

Chen Qing considered whether she should redesign the blueprint for the Mini Rabbits, turning them into Sailor Rabbits.

That is, the ship’s general laborers.

As for the Blast Battle Rabbits, they could still be improved upon, as the blueprint for them was a system reward and absolutely of quality.

Chen Qing wondered if the system would grant her another reward when she broke through to become a School Mechanic?

In the career path of mechanics, Chen Qing was definitely the leading survivor, and even counting the natives, she was the fastest.

Typically, when breaking through a professional level, the system rewards skills.

Chen Qing’s ways to obtain high-quality blueprints were generally few: purchase, develop her own, unbox them, or use the slot machine.

Up to now, what the slot machine had dispensed in terms of blueprints, wasn’t even worth mentioning.

The quality was terrible; it was almost exclusively white blueprints, with only one green one ever bursting out.

Chen Qing’s thousands of goldfish might as well have been thrown into the water, and still needed to be continuously tossed away.

The three material boxes were placed in front of Chen Qing. Without any other action, she directly proceeded to unbox them.

Normally, when other survivors got their hands on purple and special material boxes, they would engage in some prayer activities, such as taking a bath, burning incense, and worshiping the gods or something of that sort.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration; there truly were many who did so.

A purple glow shone briefly on Chen Qing’s face before disappearing.

Inside the two purple supply boxes, there lay a rifle and a skill scroll respectively.

It seemed Chen Qing’s luck might have run out; neither item was of use to her.

The skill scroll was an attack skill scroll, and its category was...

"Magic?"

Chen Qing looked at the skill scroll named [Rune Storm] in her hand, a question mark slowly forming over her head.

She looked up at her ship, a mechanical ship.

Machinery and magic.

She had thought that the sea and machinery were incompatible enough, but now, aboard a mechanical ship surrounded by mechanical creations and mechanical parts, she had unexpectedly unboxed a magic skill book.

Chen Qing was aware that magic existed in this world; Zuo Yun was a Magic Girl.

The Deep Blue Sea area also had a fair number of magicians; however, Chen Qing rarely encountered them.

Those she met were mostly pirates and bounty hunters, with backgrounds generally sharing one similar trait: innate poverty.

There’s not much to say about pirates; most were from the poor three seas, and many bounty hunters were as well.

Magic is an expensive career, very very expensive; it’s even more costly than what Chen Qing spends as a Mechanic.

At least a Mechanic might see a return on investment one day, but magic, which is an outright magical profession and not professions like Rune Magic Scroll Master, is practically a one-way expense.

Only the super-rich can afford to dote on such a career.

Such professions tend to appear in teams composed of noble merchant scions, such as adventure teams or exploration teams—they are not short on money.

Chen Qing had seen but never interacted with a magician who was part of the White Bird Adventure Team she had come across.

However, by that time, they had already been consumed by the Blood Spirit.

The magic skill book Chen Qing now held could sell for more than the value of the Ghost Ship.

There was no helping it; magic skill books were too rare, and this one was a B-grade Purple Quality skill book.

The magic resources were mostly found in the Scarlet Sea Domain; in the Deep Blue Sea domain, they were seldom seen.

Chen Qing had lucked out; but not completely.

"..."

She gazed at the skill book in her hand, deep in thought.
