Chapter 274: Chapter 208 Reef Area, Illustrated Book Reward_3

The Super Shield Whale suffered heavy losses here.

Moreover, some of the whirlpools are quite bizarre, with ends leading to the surface of other sea areas, or perhaps nests full of sea beasts...

No one can say for sure where they lead, and no one knows which whirlpool is the peculiar one.

All the natives can do is stay far away from these damned whirlpools.

Chen Qing’s desire to mine here meant she absolutely couldn’t avoid these whirlpools; she needed to find a way to deal with them.

Furthermore, based on the samples brought back by Wind Shadow Jade, and considering the environment here...

Chen Qing suspected that there might be Black Space Stone mines here.

That’s the outrageously expensive Black Space Stone used for creating spaces.

"First, send some probes down to see what’s really going on below," she said.

Chen Qing planned to go back to her workshop to create a new Environment Adaptation Device. Once the footage from below was transmitted back, she would take the Wind Shadow Army with her to start the mining operations first.

Chen Qing also sent Sailor Rabbit to complete the tasks on reef island.

It would take Sailor Rabbit about three to five days to reach reef island by rowboat.

Mechanical Heart couldn’t stand their slow speed and equipped them with a new high-speed watercraft.

There weren’t many of them to start with, since Chen Qing’s factory was busy producing battle machinery and didn’t have much capacity to spare for these domestic machines.

Back in her workshop, Chen Qing suddenly remembered something—the World Atlas had been unlocked before.

Chen Qing frowned slightly; she never forgot such important matters.

Yet, this time she had neglected the World Atlas’ unlocking for so long.

It seemed that she needed to resolve the Half-Skeleton’s curse as soon as possible, as the curse reduced not only her strength and physical changes.

The hidden benefits it provided couldn’t compensate for its negative effects.

Chen Qing immediately summoned the World Atlas, which was a very thick book.

It was large.

It covered the entire table in Chen Qing’s workshop and even then, there wasn’t enough space for it.

This book was just the table of contents for the World Atlas.

The first page that appeared when she opened the book was blank, devoid of text.

The pages to follow contained an extremely intricate table of contents, filled with dense text that was headache-inducing just to look at.

Chen Qing moved her fingers, and the World Atlas switched to another mode, turning the bulky book instantly into various images.

In general, the World Atlas consisted of two main categories, those Chen Qing had unlocked and those she hadn’t.

If she were to categorize them further, the classifications would be endless:

Humans, Non-Humans.

Living Beings, Non-Living Things.

Plants, Animals.

Professionals, Transcendents.

...

The number was incredibly vast.

Chen Qing directly accessed the Atlas she had already unlocked. Most of them were plants, ores, and machinery...

The World Atlas was not merely a collection of records.

Another way to describe it, one more familiar to survivors, would be:

Achievement.

Achievement list.

Each time Chen Qing unlocked an Atlas, she would earn an achievement point. Once she accumulated a certain number of achievement points, the progress bar on the World Atlas would change a little bit.

Don’t think this progress bar is useless.

As a unique item, the World Atlas could award achievement rewards based on this percentage of progress.

Leaning against the back of her chair, Chen Qing looked at the rewards displayed by the World Atlas.

Extraordinary Points.

The rewards from the World Atlas included Extraordinary Points; should one call it intelligent?

The rewards were so generous they directly targeted her heart’s desires.

Of course, the rewards weren’t just Extraordinary Points; there were plenty of other tangible rewards.

If Chen Qing unlocked more machinery, the tangible rewards would be mechanical, such as skills, blueprints, creations...

For plant categories, the rewards would be corresponding skills, seeds, Plants...

The rewards matched the categories.

If Chen Qing spent her time unlocking the World Atlas, given enough time, she would undoubtedly become a sovereign.

Not of the Deep Blue Sea, but of the Scarlet Sea Domain.

The rewards from the World Atlas were daunting, but correspondingly, they were not so easy to obtain.

To unlock a category and receive Extraordinary Points rewards, one must achieve a ten-thousandth point milestone, while a thousandth point milestone unlocked category-specific rewards.

But how many categories were there in the world—millions upon millions, right?

Getting those corresponding category rewards was extremely difficult.

Luckily, Chen Qing had always collected various plants. Although she couldn’t reach the thousandth percentage rewards, achieving the ten-thousandth percentage was still feasible.

That would be a considerable amount of Extraordinary Points.

However...

Chen Qing felt she should first resolve the Half-Skeleton’s curse before claiming these Extraordinary Points.

After all, earning Extraordinary Points was akin to consuming food.

Chen Qing’s current priority was to resolve the curse of the Half-Skeleton.
