When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.
Chapter 51 Blast Battle Rabbit

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Blast Battle Rabbit

Jerome’s underling, Luke, had finally found Chen Qing’s trail at the obscure Mechanical Recycling Factory after scouring most of Sapphire Island.

That old man Jerome was exceedingly cautious by nature, and his underlings were not much different.

First, Luke cautiously inspected the situation at the Recycling Factory before preparing to make his move.

Since he couldn’t find Daliya, he had to target Chen Qing first.

Without Chen Qing’s protection, Daliya would naturally have no choice but to surrender.

However, Luke didn’t know that he had been spotted by those cumbersome big guys the moment he showed up at the Recycling Factory.

Only because Grandma Taozi didn’t want to get involved in these messy affairs, she turned a blind eye, pretending to be oblivious.

But as a mechanic with outstanding talent, Chen Qing naturally knew that those big guys were stirring.

They were all old models, and since Grandma Taozi couldn’t repair them and Tang was just an apprentice mechanic, they all had their fair share of malfunctions.

Chen Qing pretended not to notice Luke’s presence and continued assembling her Blast Battle Rabbit, entering the final stages of assembly.

Whoever was the genius that created the Assistant Bee, every single one of them was at least as good as a Basic-level Mechanic!

Chen Qing focused on finishing up, just needing to install the Mechanical Heart, and then it would be a job well done!

Assembling the Blast Battle Rabbit was the hardest part, where one false move could result in complete failure.

Installing the Mechanical Heart required abundant spiritual power and a strong concentration.

Luke thought he had silently infiltrated the Recycling Factory, but failed to notice the little gadgets hidden among the piles of machinery.

Countless Mechanical Spider Bombs had long been scattered all over the Recycling Factory.

Daliya was extremely sensitive to malice, and although Jerome thought he had hidden his ill intentions well, they had already been detected by Daliya.

Never underestimate the slaves; their perception of emotions is incredibly strong.

Chen Qing was ready for Jerome to send someone, or even to come himself.

But Jerome had been dominant in the Deep Blue Sea for too long; he was too arrogant.

Though Luke was a formidable assassin and much stronger than Chen Qing,

Chen Qing was not alone; to think that a mechanic was fighting solo was the most foolish illusion.

Grandma Taozi, sitting quietly inside the shack, was startled to discover that the controllers for all the machinery in the room had gone dark.

All of them had lost control.

At some point, a mechanical bird had appeared at the window of the shack, and the mechanical bird had poured a bag of goldfish, silver crab, and copper shell onto the table in the shack.

Grandma Taozi’s eyelid twitched, and she let out a light sigh.

The kids these days are impressive.

...

The Mechanical Recycling Factory, the home ground of a mechanic.

Luke had not yet approached Chen Qing when he suddenly felt like he was being watched by something.

He looked up, meeting a pair of gigantic eyes.

[Green·First Generation Mechanical Guardian—Titan (E-class) (Damaged)]

[Warning! Warning! Intruder—Intruder approaching—]

The Mechanical Giant Titan’s eyes emitted a dangerous red glow, and the Titans in all four directions of the Recycling Factory had opened their eyes, staring straight at Luke.

Although Luke, accustomed to grand scenes with Jerome, was confident in his own strength,

he had an inexplicable sense of unease.

From start to end, Chen Qing, some distance away, had not once turned back to glance at Luke, still immersed in her own work.

Her face was unchanged at the prospect of imminent disaster.

Luke was indeed much stronger than Chen Qing, both in experience and combat power.

Yet, facing Chen Qing who seemed so vulnerable, Luke was suddenly gripped by fear.

But then recollecting Jerome’s commands, Luke darkened his face, deriding her as just a newbie.

Quick battle, quick decision!

He raised the customized sniper rifle in his hand, aimed at Chen Qing, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Clang——!"

A clear, audible clashing sound.

The bullet flew out along the chosen trajectory but did not hit Chen Qing’s head as Luke had anticipated.

It was blocked by the Mechanical Giant.

As the first-generation model of a Mechanical Guardian, it had many imperfections, which resulted in it ending up as rubbish at the bottom of the sea, until Grandma Taozi salvaged it and brought it ashore.

But as a Guardian, its defense was unquestionable!

The defense network formed by the four-sided guardians covered the entire Mechanical Recycling Factory, and it effortlessly blocked Luke’s sniper bullet.

However, Luke’s bullets were not to be underestimated.

His sniper rifle was a costly weapon, custom made by a Master of firearms.

The guardian positioned at the southeast corner completely lost its "Life" and closed its eyes forever.

"..."

Witnessing this scene, Luke was utterly shocked.

He hadn’t expected such a small recycling plant to hide such a powerful Mechanical Creature!

Yet the surprises awaiting Luke didn’t end there; while he was still shocked by the Guardian’s prowess, the Mechanical Spider Bomb had already drawn near him!

By the time he sensed danger, the Mechanical Spider exploded instantly!!

A massive explosion resounded in the Mechanical Recycling Factory, causing billowing smoke.

Amidst the thick smoke, Luke rushed out with a limp, his face twisted with intense bitterness!

Chen Qing was more difficult to kill than he had imagined; she had actually injured his leg!

Mixed with that bitterness was a faint fear; if he didn’t complete Jerome’s mission, he knew his fate would not be a pleasant one!

Thinking of this, Luke immediately gave up his expertise with firearms and, gripping a knife, charged towards Chen Qing!

He was well aware that Chen Qing’s strength wasn’t a match for his, which is why she had come up with so many messy Mechanical Creatures.

As long as he got close to Chen Qing, her death was certain!

However, getting close to Chen Qing was not so easy.

Numerous outdated mechanical creations and household appliances surged out from the piles of mechanical junk, forming barriers to block Luke’s path.

These machines naturally couldn’t stop Luke, but the hidden Mechanical Spider Bombs inside them caused him significant injury.

The Mechanical Spider Bombs, which were originally powerful enough to blow up an ordinary pirate, had only injured one of Luke’s legs, which was within Chen Qing’s expectation.

After her modifications, the Mechanical Spider Bomb was about quantity over quality.

If quality wasn’t sufficient, then quantity would make up for it.

One Mechanical Spider Bomb wasn’t enough, so there would be ten, a hundred, a thousand!

The huge commotion at the recycling plant didn’t draw the attention of anyone else on the island; their focus was entirely on Lei Guang and the dock area.

Similarly, Chen Qing wasn’t affected at all by the earth-shattering explosions within the recycling plant; she held the Mechanical Heart in her hand steady.

Five, four,...

Chen Qing silently counted down in her heart, linking the Mechanical Heart and Iron Vein with spiritual power, gradually connecting them.

Two, one!

The final link was completed!

Lyin on the workbench, Blast Battle Rabbit suddenly opened its eyes!

Blood-red pupils.
