Chapter 241: Chapter 197: Strange Necklace, Third-Party Commission_3

But, it could still display a virtual image.

The Identification Skill used by Chen Qing had determined it was just an ordinary necklace, with no relation to magic or mystery.

"You can’t do anything either?"

You Gu was a bit disappointed. The necklace had been broken for a long time, and she had sought many Mechanics, Magicians, and even Wizards from various professions, but none could fix it.

"This necklace, it was a chance find, right?"

Chen Qing closed the necklace and turned to look at You Gu as she asked.

"Yes."

You Gu nodded. The necklace had been fished out of the sea and had been with her for many years.

The image inside was of the Ghost Bone Pirate Group when they first went to sea, back when they weren’t yet called the Ghost Bone Pirate Group.

Many of the people in the image were no longer around, which is why You Gu had always held onto it, attempting to fix it.

"Is that necklace it? Chen Qing, if you can do something, whatever You Gu needs, if she can’t provide it, I can help too."

Shang Jia suddenly appeared, very familiarly draping an arm around both Chen Qing and You Gu.

"..."

"Have you folks decided?"

You Gu raised an eyebrow and turned back to see Hai Boqiluo and Blue Ghost crouching on the ground holding their heads, not getting up for quite a while.

It seemed they had received a thrashing from Shang Jia.

"Of course."

Shang Jia smirked proudly. Who was she? Demon Dragon, the strongest in the Deep Blue Sea, unrivaled!

"I can try, but I’m not sure."

Chen Qing had a slight idea, but she also could not guarantee her guess was correct.

"It’s okay if you can’t fix it. Thank you for trying; I appreciate it."

You Gu smiled genuinely, her attitude surprisingly gracious.

It had been broken for so many years anyhow. If the Deep Blue Sea couldn’t fix it, then they would head to the Scarlet Sea Domain.

There must be someone in this world who could fix the necklace.

Hai Boqiluo stared at You Gu as if she had seen a ghost. This woman was actually saying thank you??

"No problem."

Chen Qing stored the necklace away.

"I’ll get back to you later."

"Okay."

You Gu nodded with a smile.

"Now that we’re done talking, let’s get ready to split the loot."

Shang Jia looked between You Gu and Chen Qing, very excitedly said.

She had plundered a fair amount of good stuff from Mechanical Island!

These pirate groups and the Blood Sect had individually plundered items from Mechanical Island, which were kept by each group.

However, some items were obtained jointly, and their ownership was not easy to determine.

So, they simply pooled these items together and decided to distribute them according to proportions.

Inviting Chen Qing was also part of this consideration.

All the items were plundered from Mechanical Island. Both the Demon Dragon Pirate Group and the Ghost Bone Pirate Group had mechanics on their ships, but the remaining two did not.

This meant, as for the value of these mechanical items, Demon Dragon and You Gu were clear, but the Naga and the Blood Sect were not fully informed.

Having Chen Qing as a third party ensured some fairness for the Naga Pirates and the Isolated Island Blood Sect.

However, it depended on whether Chen Qing was willing since she would have to take on some responsibility.

Shang Jia briefed Chen Qing on the situation and asked for her opinion.

"What’s the compensation?"

The task was doable, but it needed a higher pay.

"After we have made our picks, you can choose one piece of machinery."

Na’s sensuous long hair casually draped over her shoulders, her golden vertical pupils deep and mysterious.

Na was from the Sea Clan, with a snake tail and four arms, her appearance vastly different from humans, yet she exuded a blend of icy wildness and dangerous allure.

"Alright."

Chen Qing agreed quickly; it was essentially free compensation, so why not?

However, if Chen Qing’s ability wasn’t up to par, she couldn’t do it.

If she misjudged, it was easy to be hunted down afterwards.

"Let’s get started."

Shang Jia clapped her hands, and the members of the various pirate groups immediately began transporting the Mechanical Creations they had stolen from the island.

"Later on, you’ll help us appraise our machinery, and we’ll pay you. If there’s something you want, we’ll give you a discount."

"How about that?"

Na swam over to Chen Qing, her cool arm looping through Chen Qing’s arm as she asked with a grin.

The other Blue Ghost felt the same; they didn’t quite trust Demon Dragon and You Gu’s people.

Finding a third party was most appropriate.

Considering they had just robbed the Mechanical Association, it was unlikely any mechanics would want to interact much with them, leaving few options available.

Chen Qing was indeed one of the best options.

"Alright."

The trip today brought quite a few unexpected rewards.

These pirates had just returned from robbing Mechanical Island. If it weren’t for the financial constraint, Chen Qing would have liked to cover all their expenses.

The few hundred thousand goldfish were quite a lot, but to buy quality items, just a few purchases would deplete it.

The task of earning money was still a long and arduous journey.
