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

Chapter 276: Chapter 209: The Reef Test Site, War Channel_2

A mechanical body was sufficient for use, and there was no need to waste time and energy on it.

However, He Cai was indeed sensitive, and the Mechanical Heart had indeed referred to various data from Chen Qing while remodeling this body.

"Alright, alright, thank you for your trouble," He Cai said.

"Then we’ll leave first," they said.

He Cai and others quickly handed over the local specialties to the Mechanical Heart and swiftly turned to leave.

For some reason, He Cai always felt a bit scared when facing the Mechanical Heart.

That was a normal reaction; after all, the Mechanical Heart was the ship, and the ship was the Mechanical Heart.

An A-Level Transcendent Ship was not something everyone could withstand the aura emanating from it.

The Mechanical Heart had Sailor Rabbit deliver a sack of Cooking Fruits to the survivors, a gesture of reciprocity, something she learned from the customs collected from Dragon Country.

Speaking of a sack, it was actually a gigantic hemp sack containing at least a thousand Cooking Fruits.

The Mechanical Heart well understood the difference between D-Level and C-Level, and the quality of this Tidal Spirit Jade was much better than that of the rewards for the tasks.

Therefore, among the pile of Cooking Fruits, there was also a box of Body Enhancement Potions.

Just out of the Alchemy Factory.

The Mechanical Heart had this level of authority; Chen Qing had given the Mechanical Heart a very broad range of permissions, there was almost nothing she couldn’t do.

However, the Mechanical Heart could not command the ship’s Law Enforcers who were of the same rank as her.

After bidding farewell to the visitors from Reef Island, the Mechanical Heart continued to analyze the situation in this sea area.

Compared to the Gem Sea and the sea areas near those islands, the sea area near Reef Island was largely undeveloped.

Hence, the ecosystem here was very primitive and carried a high level of danger.

Like other parts of the Treasure Sea, the seabed here was also filled with various mechanical debris.

Moreover, compared to other parts of the Treasure Sea, the mechanical debris here was very old.

They were ancient models of deformed debris, and some of the machinery still retained some undesirable elements.

These affected the local ecology, and many sea beasts showed varying degrees of mutations.

The explorer octopus among them did not seem out of place at all.

The sea creatures of the reef area showed various degrees of integration with machinery.

This integration was just right; they still belonged to the biological realm yet possessed mechanical characteristics.

It was as if they were artificially created.

"It seems like something incredible has been discovered," the Mechanical Heart said.

The strange mechanical voice of the Mechanical Heart echoed in the spacious Captain’s Room, sounding particularly eerie.

Obviously, the reef area was hiding a secret.

And this secret involved those sea creatures.

Maybe it was some nefarious experiment, or maybe it had something to do with the mineral veins in the deep sea.

The Mechanical Heart recorded these anomalies and, on the side, prompted the Wind Shadow Jade Army to be on guard, fearing any unexpected events.

They would have to wait for Chen Qing to return.

Unexpectedly, this wait would take another five days.

In the five days of Chen Qing’s absence, Reef Island sent people over twice, not to rush Chen Qing, but to deliver local specialties.

In addition, they also bought some combat machinery for the island; Javis also came this time.

Meanwhile, the Mechanical Heart also received many orders for military armaments.

Mostly they specifically requested Mechanical Spider Bombs and Wild Stallion Rounds.

The repurchase rate for other combat machinery was not high, especially the medical machinery, which were more durable.

However, there were not enough materials on Chen Qing’s ship to fulfill so many orders.

Sometimes having too many orders could also be troublesome.

When Chen Qing came out, the Mechanical Heart was fretting over a mountain-like pile of orders.

There were too many.

This was the first time she felt so distressed.

"What’s the matter?" Chen Qing asked.

Chen Qing’s abdomen was wrapped with a strip of white bandage; she had just come out of the bathroom, dressed in a simple sports outfit.

This time the Law Enforcers had been a bit too harsh, and even with the Half-Skeleton Curse, Chen Qing couldn’t recover quickly.

The curse on her body was solved, yet it was not truly resolved.

The duration of the Half-Skeleton Curse had been reduced to three days, but no matter what, the last three days couldn’t be shortened further.

As long as she survived seventy-two hours, the curse would disappear automatically.

"There are a lot of orders, master," the Mechanical Heart said as she raised her head, looking rather pitiable and helpless as she gazed at Chen Qing.

"Just take the ones from the survivors," Chen Qing said after glancing at the orders, many of which came from various trading companies.

It seemed that the armaments sold to the survivors last time had a good effect.
