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

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Gemstone Pirate Group

As this statement was made, the gazes that were originally focused on Chen Qing and her companions all shifted to their rear.

Chen Qing and the others couldn’t help but turn around, and that turn nearly blinded them!

"So, so shiny..."

The group couldn’t help but squint their eyes and turn their heads away.

Such a shiny group of people, my goodness.

Did they wear all the brightest gemstones from the entire Gem Sea Domain on their bodies?

The group behind Chen Qing, each of them draped in splendid golden radiance, was like walking golden treasuries.

Their gold-made clothes were adorned with gemstones, shining with a glaring brilliance like the sun.

A plethora of luxurious gemstone jewelry was worn, filling up all ten fingers.

It was extravagant, like nouveau riche, yet there was a kind of recklessly lavish splendor that didn’t seem pretentious, confident and flamboyant.

Their presence was strong, similar to the pirates they had encountered at the port previously from the black and purple pirate ship, certainly not ordinary people.

The group proudly strutted about, looking down on everyone except themselves and their peers, as if they were the rulers of the world.

However, other people in the black market were equally disdainful towards them, scoffing at them, very dismissive.

The Gemstone Pirate Group’s bunch still acted so arrogantly deserving a beating!

Gao Yue and the others turned to look at Chen Qing, blinking, silently inquiring.

The clothes and jewelry these people wore must be valuable, right?

Chen Qing silently raised two fingers, at least... worth two hundred thousand goldfish.

Her field of vision was limited; she couldn’t discern any more value for now.

Hiss...

Gao Yue and the others sucked in a breath of cold air, doesn’t that mean just snatching one of them could mean no worries about food and drink!

"Orella, don’t be so harsh, after all..."

The woman next to the man called Orella swiftly opened her glittering silver folding fan, covering half of her face, and spoke in a sharp voice.

"Ohoho— they’re all a bunch of paupers!"

Telling others not to be harsh, but the words she spat out were even more grating than Orella’s.

When Chen Qing saw the fan in that woman’s hand, her eyes lit up.

Her Metal Affinity activated!

The fan was made of a very rare deep sea ore—Rainbow Silver Ore!

Very expensive.

"Zimla, that annoying wretch, is still so obnoxious! Weren’t they said to have been beaten by You Gu at Treasure Sea! How are they still so arrogant?"

A pirate whispered angrily behind Chen Qing, clearly very detestable towards the Gemstone Pirate Group.

"What about Fei Huo? Wasn’t she said to have come to Sapphire Island?"

"We heard she got a special Skill Book and specifically came to this godforsaken place because of it."

Zimla looked disdainfully at the muddy and dilapidated black market, this godforsaken place. If it were not forbidden by the Captain, she would have rebuilt it to be more luxurious than the palace of Astalaya Kingdom!

It was, after all, the place that raised them, tsk tsk tsk...

Special Skills...

Chen Qing and her companions exchanged glances. Forget about the special Skill Book, they couldn’t expect to acquire that.

However, from Zimla’s words, it could be inferred that whether they were survivors or natives, it was actually the same.

Profession Scrolls, Skill Books, items,...

What the younger sisters have, the older sisters also have.

Perhaps, pulling them into this so-called game system was one of the mysteries of this world.

[Let’s go.]

Qiao Zhiyu made a gesture to Chen Qing and her group; the black market was not a safe place after all.

These pirates might start a conflict at any time; there was no need for them to get involved and risk becoming collateral damage.

Chen Qing agreed with Qiao Zhiyu’s suggestion. Events in the black market wouldn’t take an hour to spread across the streets and ports of Sapphire Island.

Within three days, the entire Deep Blue Sea would be aware.

There were a good number of people who shared Chen Qing and her companions’ thoughts, naturally placing their own matters as more important.

A few people quickly left the place and began looking for the products each was interested in.

Chen Qing’s target was clear, materials for building a mechanical assembly line factory.

In the black market, items related to machinery were scarce, and even if they were available, most of them were either mechanical creations or things like blueprints and ore insights.

Although Chen Qing also wanted them, they were not her goal this time.

"Hey, kids, need a guide?"

A hoarse male voice suddenly came from above Chen Qing and the others, who looked up.

It was a man with a mechanical eye, a commoner with weak strength and no threat.

"Yes."

Chen Qing decisively spoke, eyeing the man’s mechanical eye.

The man grinned, seemingly knowing already.

This kid had been paying attention to things related to mechanics ever since she entered the black market.

That mechanical arm in her hand had definitely been modified.

"How much do you want as a reward?"

Qiao Zhiyu rolled up her sleeves, ready to start bargaining!

"No money."

The man waved his hand, dismissing Qiao Zhiyu, and fixed his gaze on Chen Qing, pointing his mangled finger at her.

"You help me fix something, I’ll provide the materials, don’t worry, just a few simple machines."

"Just like this eye."

The man pointed at his own eye again, nonchalantly dug it out, and threw it to Chen Qing.

"!!"

He Congrong was greatly shocked, Was he so casual about it?

Chen Qing caught it and briefly examined it using the small tools she carried in her pocket.

"Okay."

She nodded, and then tossed the mechanical eye back to the man.

Indeed, it was not difficult.

Much simpler than a superpower vine.

"So you’ll follow me after we leave the black market?"

"Yes."

"Good, what do you want to buy?"

The man nodded in satisfaction, he was just a formerly disabled pirate with no skills, no money, and a regular dweller on the ordinary markets and black markets of the island.

He had not saved any money, and the mechanics on the island were expensive to hire.

Qiao Zhiyu and the others tacitly let Chen Qing speak first, after all, they were benefiting from her luck.

"I want to buy assembly line equipment for a mechanical factory, preferably components that can be reassembled."

"The budget is limited."

Chen Qing added.

"Assembly lines for mechanical factories, huh..."

The man stroked his chin, a limited budget made it tricky.

But, this woman was a mechanic, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.

"I’ll take you to someone I know, she just laid hands on a mechanic’s pirate group last week."

"You buy the core equipment from her, and I’ll take you to the Mechanical Junkyard and other places to scrounge up the rest?"

"Okay."

Chen Qing agreed readily; her budget was limited, and they couldn’t possibly conjure a high-end setup from nothing, right?

"Alright, let’s go. You all might find something of interest too; she has a lot of varied stuff on hand."

The man quickly led them in a certain direction.

After they left, several figures quietly followed them, keeping close.
