When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.

Chapter 256: Chapter 202: Reputation System, Sudden Wealth and Sudden Poverty_3

He opened his personal panel, where a negative buff was hanging, a curse.

[Half-Skeleton’s Wicked Curse: You will become a half-skeleton, with the duration lasting for 444 hours.

During this period, you cannot eat and will suffer from the torment of starvation; any action aiming to satisfy hunger will be ineffective towards you.

And once eating actions are taken, the transformation into a half-skeleton will extend indefinitely.]

hours, which means less than twenty days.

Under twenty days of time in exchange for the chance to enhance his talent, it’s bearable.

"Seal all the food on the ship, including potions, preventing me from having any chance to touch any food."

"If I show any intention of eating, stop me immediately, using all means necessary as long as it doesn’t endanger my life."

"Assign the Liquid Metal Enforcer to this task."

The Half-Skeleton’s Wicked Curse, Chen Qing suspected that this curse wasn’t as simple as described on the panel.

If turning into a half-skeleton was merely an external change, then it shouldn’t be called a curse.

The Black Saber Pirate Group that Chen Qing killed, to be precise, they died by the curse’s hand.

If it weren’t for the ocean’s curse they bore, Chen Qing would have been killed by them on the spot.

It must be said, Chen Qing’s decision was very wise, and soon she would feel fortunate for it.

But for now, she didn’t feel any discomfort yet.

Before she opened the reputation gift pack, the Mechanical Heart had just delivered meals, so Chen Qing could still last a while.

Chen Qing opened the chat channel, the national channel was already open, currently, no one else had the qualifications to speak, they weren’t eligible.

However, Chen Qing did.

She had the opportunity to speak once a day, this was granted by her Level 3 Reputation.

Chen Qing momentarily had no desire to speak, she switched the channel to the remaining two channels.

Survivors speaking on them had their team’s colors tagged, almost none of the information was useful, it was all cursing and trash talking.

In Chen Qing’s private channel, there was hardly any speech, those people were extremely restrained in their faction choices, probably still undecided.

She was unaware that many of the survivors in her private channel had gathered, preparing to seek her out, to hear her opinions.

How should it be said, they were rather convinced by Chen Qing.

She had turned the tables in the last gemstone event, so they were thinking of siding with whichever side Chen Qing chose.

Who could have thought, Chen Qing didn’t take any side, she was neutral.

There were very few survivors who had the third choice, countable on one hand.

Thanks to Jia’s blessing, Zhao Fuli also had a third option, even though her strength wasn’t that great, but as a member of the Demon Dragon Pirates, she had backing and recognition.

Zhao Fuli’s reputation level had also reached Level 2, quite impressive.

At this moment, Zhao Fuli was in her own bedroom crying out loud over the items that came out of the reputation gift pack.

Gift packs like the reputation pack tend to have a bias.

Chen Qing checked the chat channel and saw no important information, so she stopped looking further.

She planned to go to the Bounty Guild to check on the situation.

However, her current appearance wasn’t suitable for being seen in public.

The Half-Skeleton Curse was a curse, Chen Qing didn’t know the specifics, but the people outside may well understand them.

It could very likely become her weakness.

Chen Qing thought for a moment and took out a set of mechanical exoskeleton armor from the warehouse to wear.

It was obtained from the Mechanical Slot Machine, only Level D, but it was quite suitable for her disguise right now.

Even if others found it strange when they saw it, she could manage to explain.

After going to the Bounty Guild, Chen Qing planned to continue her closed training, waiting until the curse period ended before leaving the ship.

Coming off the ship, the few pirate ships beside the dock hadn’t left; the bets they lost to Chen Qing yesterday had already been delivered on board.

Hai Boqiluo and Blue Ghost, pressed together by Jia, both paid their ransom and were full of proud ambitions to get their payback from Chen Qing; they didn’t plan on leaving anymore.

Unless they turned their losses around.

Or had more important matters to attend to.

But they couldn’t stay for too long either, these four Great Pirate Groups gathered together and long-term stay made it look like they were up to something; other forces wouldn’t just watch them idly.

What’s more, the Mechanical Association was watching them as well.

Chen Qing disembarked, just as she was about to enter the Bounty Guild, she suddenly heard a sky-shaking, earth-shattering wail coming from the direction of the Demon Dragon Pirate Group.

It was from Jia.

Immediately after, a figure fled from the Demon Dragon Pirate ship.
