Chapter 258: Chapter 203: Protection and Destruction, Zhao Fuli Erupts_2

Both of these tasks offer Task Coins without any upper limit, but the count isn’t tallied until after the war ends, and no Task Coins will be provided in the meantime.

At the same time, they conflict with most other tasks.

If you take one of these two tasks, it means that during their duration, it would be very difficult to get any support from the exchange store.

Moreover, there are no specific criteria for completing the tasks, some of which can only be known after the war is over.

Actually, these two tasks are the real ones that belong to the Neutral Camp; the vast majority of other tasks are just mercenary work for the Red and Blue Camp.

But Chen Qing wasn’t considering these tasks; she had already taken a fancy to a knife in the exchange store.

[A-Class·Prison Blade]

Exchange points: ten million.

This number was frightening, enough to deter anyone with a glance.

However, after some quick calculations, Chen Qing determined that as long as she helped a faction capture two or three islands, it would be easy to save up enough.

It would be difficult for her, but not impossible.

As long as those Mechanical Creations were produced successfully.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing felt a headache coming on.

Before, when she wasn’t short on materials, she lacked blueprints; when she had blueprints, she lacked materials.

With the outbreak of war, all the prices of goods from the trading firms she had dealt with before had more than doubled and continued to sky-rocket.

The money Chen Qing had on hand didn’t go far.

She still needed to figure out a way to control some basic resources, like mines, for example.

After checking the new event’s interface, Chen Qing didn’t rush to accept any tasks.

She planned to wait until the curse period of the Half-Skeleton was over before starting on tasks.

This time, with no ranking poking at her, Chen Qing felt a lot more relaxed.

Actually, it’s not accurate to say there’s no ranking, it’s just that this ranking has nothing to do with the Neutral folks like Chen Qing.

Survivors from the Red and Blue Camps have their internal rankings, and at the same time, they compete in the same overall leaderboard.

After noting down the details of the new event, Chen Qing prepared to leave the Bounty Guild.

Granny Yuhua, who had been closing her eyes, suddenly opened them, her gaze heavy as she watched Chen Qing’s departing figure.

"Wait a moment."

She called out to Chen Qing.

"What is it?"

Chen Qing stopped in her tracks, turning her head towards Granny Yuhua.

"Chen Qing, you..."

"Hmm?"

"Would you take on a guard mission?"

Granny Yuhua hesitated for a moment before asking directly.

"No."

Chen Qing answered calmly.

"What if I said that I would offer you a certain amount of help if you take on this task?"

Granny Yuhua thought for a moment, biting her lip before asking.

"No."

Chen Qing still maintained her original stance; neither guard nor destruction missions suited her.

"...Go ahead."

Granny Yuhua waved her hand weakly in dismissal.

War was always so unforgiving, everyone only looked after their own interests.

Granny Yuhua wished to do something, but she had been powerless for a long time.

If only she were still young...

"Right."

Chen Qing nodded, turned, and left the Bounty Guild.

The bounty hunter who had just fled was now tied up tightly.

Chen Qing glanced at him, utterly indifferent as she passed by.

"Chen Qing, not interested in the spectacle?"

Hai Boqiluo spotted her and asked offhandedly.

They were planning to use this child to exchange for a ransom from the Elemental Sea; this child came from no ordinary background.

Clicking her tongue, the Shikai Family of the Elemental Sea is one of the most ancient Magic Nobles, sending a vast number of talents to the Red Sea every year.

Immensely wealthy!

The collective fortune of all these people, multiplied by a hundred, might still not match the wealth of that family.

"No time."

"Alright then, oh, by the way."

Hai Boqiluo suddenly swam up to Chen Qing’s side, resting her shoulder against Chen Qing’s, the two of them standing very close.

Her cold vertical pupils tightly focused on Chen Qing’s eyes, a wicked smile on her face.

"That Scroll Factory, one million goldfish."

"Can I reserve it?"

Chen Qing estimated the money in her treasury; she was short by more than half.

She was very poor now.

"You could trade something else to me for it."

Hai Boqiluo’s gaze fell on the Law Enforcer; she thought it looked pretty good.

Chen Qing looked at the sky, then back at Hai Boqiluo.

Although Chen Qing said nothing, Hai Boqiluo understood...

Chen Qing was asking her, in broad daylight, how she could still be dreaming.

Scroll Factories were rare, and A-class Mechanical Creations were just as rare, right.

Especially one like the Law Enforcer that could take on ten Sword Dance Mantises at once!

Originally, Chen Qing intended to buy the Scroll Factory from Hai Boqiluo, but after seeing Pella Shen, she had another idea.
