Chapter 246: Chapter 199: Fruit Seeds, War Activities Begin_2

Chen Qing saw them, the fierce beasts were the strange tattoos on Shang Jia’s body.

So, all those tattoos on Shang Jia’s body were the same as the Xiao Hei mentioned by Blue Ghost?

"At this level, you still dare to play pirate."

Zhao Fuli rolled his eyes and went back to continue cooking.

"Truly useless."

"Such rubbish."

"You dare to rob us, at least have some strength before you do."

The other Deserted People and pirates also found it boring, not understanding where they got the courage from.

A few Deserted People immediately headed in the direction they had come from, since they could make it onto the island, there surely had to be a ship, better not waste it.

The rest continued eating, they had only just opened the lid, not even having tried what that Cooking Fruit was like.

"Lately, the presence of sea wanderers has become quite noticeable."

Chen Qing, Shang Jia, and the others sat on the ground in groups, scattered around under the Jade Branch Tree.

It had the feeling of a picnic.

Chen Qing had Sailor Rabbit bring over quite a few Cooking Fruits from the ship, even the villagers of Yuzhi Village and Granny Yuhua from the Bounty Guild received their share.

Zhao Fuli also had a rare day off, sitting with Xue Po and the others to stuff their faces.

These pirates, each one a glutton.

One could eat at least ten Cooking Fruits, and there were those who, not having enough, wanted to snatch from Yuzhi Village’s villagers, only to get beaten up by Sailor Rabbit.

"Indeed, the Mist Sea region under White Immortal’s control was invaded by sea wanderers, taking two pieces of her territory."

White Immortal had been busy with matters outside recently, and her territory was the largest in the Mist Sea, so it was normal that some of it got snatched away.

If Chen Cheng hadn’t been called over by Chen Qing, White Immortal would have lost another piece.

Among the sea wanderers, the most outstanding one was none other than Chen Qing sitting beside them.

Chen Qing just calmly ate her meal, making no evaluation.

The resources in the Deep Blue Sea were limited and had been allocated long ago.

In this world, there already existed a great inequality of resources, and now with the addition of the sea wanderers stirring up trouble.

As survivors among the sea wanderers who wished to secure a foothold in this world, they had no choice but to snatch their way to survival.

They didn’t hesitate to rob from White Immortal, and they would dare rob from the Demon Dragon Pirate Group as well.

If Chen Qing’s strength had been sufficient, she would have robbed them too.

After all, it was just the pot calling the kettle black.

"The Deserted Sea is the same; there’s been a significant number of deaths recently, even Tong Ling has been killed."

"Is that for real? That sly old guy is dead too."

"These sea wanderers are indeed formidable."

All eyes fell on Chen Qing, who not only increased her power rapidly but was also adept at amassing wealth.

Just take Chen Qing as an example.

"If we had such conditions back then, that would have been great."

You Gu lamented.

All four of them came from the poor three seas, and compared to those from the Rich Three Seas, they certainly couldn’t match up in terms of resources.

They had truly blazed a bloody trail through sheer talent.

Yet now, they couldn’t even compare to these sea wanderers.

"Given the choice, we wouldn’t want to be sea wanderers either," Zhao Fuli murmured under his breath.

Who would prefer to leave behind peaceful days to come to such a hellish place?

"When are we going to start?"

Chen Qing ate the last grain of rice from her bowl, then covered the fruit.

"Don’t rush, don’t rush."

"Let’s talk about this Cooking Fruit of yours," Blue Ghost pressed, his smile warm yet somehow ferocious and intimidating, the kind that could make a child cry.

"I am not selling seeds."

At least not now; Chen Qing didn’t plan on always keeping the Cooking Fruit seeds to herself.

Before leaving the Deep Blue Sea, she would scatter the seeds of the Cooking Fruit throughout the Deep Blue Sea.

"Can’t we negotiate further?"

You Gu continued to press.

If they had the Cooking Fruit plants, they knew how many lives could be saved in the poor three seas.

The death toll in the poor three seas was partly due to various wars and conflicts.

Another part was due to disease and hunger.

The poor three seas’ scarcity of resources was hard for outsiders to imagine.

You Gu and her comrades weren’t Good People, they did a lot of killing and plundering; however, they each harbored a nearly invisible trace of conscience, stemming from their miserable and impoverished childhoods.

"No."

Chen Qing stood up, ready to leave.

"What if we trade with those machines from Mechanical Island?" Shang Jia asked, squatting down with a lollipop in his hand, his speech muffled.

"..."

Chen Qing, who had intended to leave, sat back down.

"We can negotiate further."

Chen Qing was holding on to the Cooking Fruit seeds to make money, and making money was for enhancing her own strength.
