Chapter 219: Chapter 190: Mechanical College, Eluo and Ash_2

Treasure Sea was essentially the den of Mechanics.

Mechanical Families, pirates, Bounty Hunters, along with other professions, divided Treasure Sea among themselves.

In addition, the Mechanical Families formed by Mechanics extensively sold arms, accumulating a great deal of wealth.

In Treasure Sea, Mechanics not only held status but also possessed wealth.

Having been pampered from a young age, these self-proclaimed future School Mechanics were extremely arrogant.

They were severely crushed by Chen Qing, this suddenly emerged elder youth of wild origin, and naturally, they were resentful.

They had intended to wait until Chen Qing joined the Mechanical Association, to give her a good challenge in their home arena.

They were determined to let Chen Qing know that as the elites of the Mechanical College, founded jointly by the Mechanical Association and various Mechanical Families, they were not to be trifled with!!

Yin Xian was the vanguard sent by these idle young masters and misses.

As a perpetual third-ranker in his second year at the Mechanical College, Yin Xian swore to make a stand for himself today.

Little did he expect... things did not start off well.

If it weren’t for the timely intervention of the one-armed woman, his head would have definitely been shaved bald by Chen Qing.

It was a pity that Chen Qing had not managed to turn him into a young bald man.

"Oh dear, I told you Yin Xian wouldn’t make it, he almost got chopped by that woman in the first encounter!"

"Really, he was bragging so much just now, completely useless."

From a distance, hiding inside a high-rise building of the Mechanical Association, observing the entrance of the Bounty Guild, other students from Chen Qing’s Mechanical College,

"No wonder Yin Xian is the perennial third-place. He’s so useless, if only Eluo were here."

"But I support Ash more."

"I think neither Eluo nor Ash are up to it, we need the seniors from the third year."

The not-so-old students babbled and squabbled, each supporting their favored candidate.

Although they all despised Chen Qing, under their teachers’ indoctrination, they had subconsciously listed Chen Qing as the biggest competitor for all students of the Mechanical College.

Only the strongest in the Mechanical College deserved to compete with Chen Qing.

This could also be considered their acknowledgment of Chen Qing’s strength.

The Mechanical College was divided into three grades and one preparatory class.

All students entering the college were assigned to the preparatory class, and only upon advancing to Beginner Mechanic could they officially become members of the Mechanical College.

From first to third grade, they are the Basic-level Mechanics, Intermediate Advanced Mechanics, and Senior Mechanics respectively.

Breaching level 20 as a Senior Mechanic would mean graduation from the Mechanical College.

However, so far, the number of graduates from the Mechanical College was very few.

If it weren’t for Chen Qing’s good luck in encountering an A-grade massive defensive fortification, even if Chen Qing had been thrown into the Mechanical College for study, it likely would have taken a considerable amount of time to graduate.

How should it be said.

The closed-system education of the Mechanical College was more beneficial than harmful for most Mechanics.

But for Mechanics like Chen Qing, who possessed top-tier talent, the closed nature of the Mechanical College undoubtedly shackled them.

However, fortunately, the Mechanical College had realized the existing problems in recent years.

Starting from the Intermediate Mechanics in the second year, they gradually let them out to gain real-world experience.

By the time they reached third grade as Advanced Mechanics, they completely let go, still providing the necessary teachings, but how to proceed on their path depended on the students’ own choices.

They could freely decide, whether to study behind closed doors or to venture out for experiential learning, it was up to them.

And actually, it was quite effective.

Some talented students had decided on their future paths by their second year.

For example, Eluo and Ash that they had just mentioned.

Eluo, originating from Mist Sea, was a treasure dug up by the Mechanical Association from the slums, and she would join the Demon Dragon Pirate Group when she reached the third grade.

This news was announced by Shang Jia himself.

He entered the Mechanical Association boldly with the Demon Dragon Pirate Group, and announced this in front of the Mechanical Association President and various School Mechanics.

If the Mechanical Association didn’t release her, it would mean opposing the Demon Dragon Pirate Group.

The specific details were unknowable, but.

From then on, even though Eluo stayed on Mechanical College Island, she was always accompanied by fighters from the Demon Dragon Pirate Group.

Mainly to prevent the riffraff of the Mechanical Association from wrecking things and possibly harming Eluo.

As for Eluo’s own opinion on this, no one knew.
