Chapter 249: Chapter 200: Dividing the Spoils, A New Discovery_2

Chen Qing couldn’t help but chuckle and shook her head.

It’s true that everyone has their own specialty. Although Chen Qing was quite versatile in mechanics, she did have her weaknesses.

She hadn’t had much contact with core mechanical components, and with limited time, she couldn’t do it just yet.

"What a pity."

The School Mechanic You Gu seemed quite disappointed. As a mechanic, she, of course, had heard of Chen Qing’s... Should it be called exploits or something else?

In any case, there should be no mechanic who hadn’t heard of the genius reputation of Chen Qing, as personally certified by the School Mechanics of the Mechanical Association.

Any mechanic would want to provoke, no, challenge Chen Qing.

Chen Qing smiled politely, said nothing, and continued with the work at hand.

The mechanical parts stolen by the robber alliance were roughly divided into three categories: intact, repairable, and junk.

The amount of junk was significantly greater than the intact ones, piling up on the docks of Yuzhi Island.

Granny Yuhua from the Bounty Guild was sitting on the rocking chair at the entrance, sipping her drink while watching Shang Jia and the others quarrel.

Life was good.

Strength, a strong backing, real estate, and probably not lacking money— who wouldn’t want such a retirement life?

Zhao Fuli quietly approached Granny Yuhua with a big plate of braised food, planning to ask her about how to enjoy such a retirement life.

Chen Qing ignored the quarrel Shang Jia and others were having. Her gaze fell on the pile of junk machinery.

If she couldn’t afford those good pieces of machinery, couldn’t she afford this junk?

Chen Qing approached the helmsmen of four pirate groups. They were equivalent to quartermasters in the military, managing the finances and spoils of the pirate ship.

"You want to buy these broken—machines?"

The helmsmen looked at Chen Qing in surprise. Was this child that poor?

"Hmm, how much for the whole lot?"

Even if these junk pieces had no utility value, they were still good junk; they could at least be given to the Mechanical Heart as food.

The four helmsmen discussed briefly and finally set the price at 4,000 goldfish, to be divided equally.

The quantity of the junk was large, and the quality was good, but it was junk nonetheless, and dealing with it was quite a hassle for them.

Neither the Naga nor the Blood Sect’s ships had a mechanic on board, and the mechanics from Demon Dragon and You Gu were already overwhelmed with the machinery they had plundered.

Chen Qing was willing to take the junk off their hands, which was more than welcome as it saved them time and effort.

After paying the money, both parties promptly concluded the transaction.

The four-way brawl involving Shang Jia finally produced a result, ending with her victory.

One against three, and she won decisively.

Her strength was indeed extraordinary, almost omnipotent.

Close combat, long-range, control, summoning... Tsk.

She was the number one figure of her generation in the Deep Blue Sea region, causing a gap.

If one were to differentiate the strength of the top figures in the Deep Blue Sea region with numbers, Shang Jia’s strength would doubtlessly be a perfect 100.

Those below her had quite a large gap; they were basically only around 80.

However, Shang Jia’s pirate group had one big issue.

Aside from Shang Jia, the other members’ strengths were not outstanding when compared.

Their strength scores might only hover around 50.

It’s not that they weren’t strong, but the gap with Shang Jia was indeed significant.

If not for this, Shang Jia might have truly been able to dominate the entire Deep Blue Sea region, instead of being somewhat constrained as she is now.

As for Chen Qing, she couldn’t enter this ranking yet.

But her talent in mechanics was absolutely at the top, even overwhelmly crushing like Shang Jia.

Her Extraordinary Ship could also be ranked among the top five in the Deep Blue Sea region.

Shang Jia proudly picked the best quality machinery of them all and strutted past You Gu and the others without a second glance.

After the four of them had made their choices, Chen Qing selected a combat machine known as the Alloy Breaking Edge Knight, grade B, Light Purple quality.

This item was perfect for the military factory Chen Qing was about to build.

"I’m off."

Chen Qing stored the combat machine in her space and was ready to return to her ship to deal with that unnamed item from You Gu, the improvement of the Cooking Grass, and the assembly of the military factory which also needed her attention.

The Mao Rabbit Army was still diligently transporting the junk.

"Good luck."

Shang Jia waved vigorously to Chen Qing with a cheerful smile.

The four pirate groups of the robber alliance wouldn’t leave Yuzhi Island for a while. The four of them joined together, and whoever wanted to mess with them needed to think twice about their own strength.
