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

Chapter 278: Chapter 210: Rune Factory in Hand, Faroe Islands

Although the Ghost Bone Pirate Group had returned to the Mist Sea, they still sent the gift of thanks they had promised to Chen Qing.

Their envoy was Blind Eye, the second-in-command, who, like her name suggests, was blind.

Blind Eye was also a peculiar person; despite her lack of sight, she was actually the sniper of the Ghost Bone Pirate Group.

Besides two or three other people in the pirate group, no one knew why she was blind or why she never sought treatment for her eyes.

That Ghost Bone dared to send her alone with Chen Qing’s gift of thanks was enough to show how formidable her strength was.

"Including this Space Item, I’m giving it all to you."

"Thank you for repairing that necklace."

Before Chen Qing had a chance to go to the reef island, Blind Eye had already sought her out.

She came alone on a small motorboat, making her way to the waters near Chen Qing’s location.

Like most second-in-command of pirate groups, Blind Eye had a calm and restrained disposition.

"By the way, there’s likely to be trouble in the Elemental Sea recently, so try to avoid going there if it’s not necessary," Blind Eye said with a friendly smile, reminding Chen Qing.

The culprits behind the unrest in the Elemental Sea were their several pirate groups.

Chen Qing was in the dark about the specifics, and the Survivor Observation Team didn’t reveal any information either.

She probably had to pay for the information.

That was an expense Chen Qing was unwilling to incur.

She was very poor at the moment, incredibly so.

Chen Qing had no intention of going to the Elemental Sea; she had no substantial involvement with that place and was unconcerned about what happened there.

"Alright, I understand, thank you."

Chen Qing accepted the gift from Blind Eye and returned a gesture of goodwill in kind.

Her ship wasn’t abundant in many things, but it was filled with ammunition and Mechanical Creations.

Chen Qing gifted them fifty Sailor Rabbits.

Now that the Scroll Factory was in her hands, Chen Qing wasn’t short on Sailor Rabbits.

Last time, not only was Jia interested in the Sailor Rabbits, but other pirates also liked them quite a bit.

But seeing Chen Qing turn down Jia’s interest, they didn’t press the issue.

Who would refuse a cute and useful little rabbit?

There was no need to worry about selling the Sailor Rabbits, as the most important part of them, the Sailor’s Promotion Scroll, simply could not be deciphered by outsiders.

Unless they boarded Chen Qing’s ship, put a knife to her throat, and forced her to divulge the recipe, there might be a chance.

Of course, the likelihood of that was minimal.

After sending Blind Eye off, Chen Qing began to prepare for dealing with the Red Snake Family and the Delu Gu family.

Cross Star, the Red Snake Family, and the Delu Gu family – these were the opponents Chen Qing needed to address urgently.

Especially Cross Star, whose whereabouts Chen Qing had been tracking without any leads.

Chen Qing didn’t plan to directly attack these two families; the best strategy was to take advantage of the chaos.

The Delu Gu family was already at the center of the whirlpool of war, and without Chen Qing’s involvement, it was highly likely that the Delu Gu family would meet a dire end.

The Red Snake Family, however, was more troublesome to deal with.

Just like their surname suggested, they were like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, far more cunning than the people of the Delu Gu family.

Chen Qing checked the information on the war channel and soon determined the right moment to act.

The Delu Gu family belonged to the blue camp, and Chen Qing remembered that the Bounty Guild had related tasks.

When heading to the Delu Gu family territory, it was a good opportunity to accept the task and earn some Task Points.

However, the main force attacking the Delu Gu family definitely wasn’t going to be Chen Qing; it would still be their old rival, the Babaro Family.

Their last defeat had made them the laughingstock of the entire Deep Blue Sea, and this time they were determined to reclaim everything!

Though the Babaro family had been defeated, their family members were not yet completely wiped out.

Moreover, when they fled from the Babaro Family Islands, they took a great deal with them.

Chen Qing connected with Barbara Babaro, and together they would launch an attack.

Barbara had the same goal as Chen Qing; both aimed to hit and run.

Barbara saw the situation clearer than the Babaro family; their home base couldn’t possibly be reclaimed so easily.

The Mechanical Association didn’t need to dedicate too many forces to that particular battlefield, and other powers were even less likely to assist them.

To retake the Babaro family’s territory, they had to rely on themselves, a goal that couldn’t be achieved in a short time.

Barbara listened to Chen Qing’s advice and prepared for pirate warfare.
