Chapter 70: Chapter 70 The Shameless Shang Jia

On the return journey, Chen Qing began processing the Giant Armored Crabs, a total of 169, which cost Chen Qing nearly 1000 Spider Bombs.

After death, each Blue Giant Armored Crab’s eyes turn into blue gemstones, and the quality is determined by their strength during life and the number of gemstones they had consumed.

Chen Qing, dressed in a one-piece rubber suit, transformed into a cold-hearted fish butcher, expressionlessly using the dagger in her hand to slice open the eyeballs of the Giant Armored Crabs and scoop out the blue gemstones hidden inside.

This task was quite demanding of one’s technique, as the whole eyeball could burst if not careful.

Especially since the eyeballs of the Giant Armored Crabs were extremely large, comparable to a ball, and the entire deck could only accommodate one Giant Armored Crab at a time.

Her movements were fluid like passing clouds and flowing water, the sharp dagger in her hands playing with ease as if it were a toy.

With one cut, the murky liquid obediently flowed over the deck, leaving behind a soft, trampled skin, which she casually tossed to the Blood Spirit nailed on the deck beside her.

However, not all of the Giant Armored Crab’s eyeballs contained liquid like water; some were filled with a thick syrup, and others even contained solids.

Chen Qing observed that the ones with solids inside the eyes had better quality.

The solidity of the Royal Blue Giant Crab’s eye was almost comparable to stone.

But under Chen Qing’s immense strength, not to speak of stone, even steel could be easily broken through.

The blue gemstones from the eyes of the Giant Armored Crabs were excavated and all casually thrown into a bucket nearby.

The Giant Armored Crabs, from which the gemstones were extracted, were then processed by the Superpower Vine, but its speed was indeed a bit slow.

Chen Qing accelerated the pace of extracting gemstones, piling up the Giant Armored Crabs, causing the ship to sink considerably.

The Giant Armored Crabs processed by the Superpower Vine were mostly put up for sale on the trading channel by Chen Qing, to clear out the warehouse a bit.

Luckily, they were edible and tasted quite good.

Regular consumption could slightly enhance Physical Attributes, and Chen Qing kept a portion of the stronger Giant Armored Crabs for herself, selling the rest to survivors on her private channel.

She also listed some on the trading channel, while continuing to kill the remaining ones.

The Superpower Vine really wasn’t very good at butchering fish and, due to its somewhat clumsy size, was slow at disassembling the Giant Armored Crabs.

Chen Qing had previously worked as a fish butcher part-time in a supermarket and behind the kitchens, where the hourly wage was relatively high, making her very familiar with the job.

Black Blade’s knife instantly turned into a fish-killing tool, its blade exceptionally sharp, breaking through shells, removing gills, chopping legs, and crushing crabs. Chen Qing’s movements were incredibly sleek and smooth, the whole process flowing in one go.

The Superpower Vine simply took care of packaging the crab chunks and legs, while the remnants that Blood Spirit could eat were given to it, and those it couldn’t were thrown into the sea.

When the ship arrived at the port, Chen Qing had just finished butchering the last crab, covered in the scent of the sea.

The deck was filled with a fishy smell, and many black birds with strange appearances perched on the mast.

Chen Qing threw a chunk of crab meat into the air, and those black birds, very fast, tore the book-sized piece of crab meat into shreds and swallowed it in a flash with their sharp-toothed beaks.

Not a single scrap fell down.

Even the avian creatures at sea had such formidable combat strength.

Chen Qing had the Superpower Vine clean the deck while she moved all the crab meat into the kitchen’s storage.

The kitchen had only two refrigerators, which were often filled with ingredients and couldn’t hold so much crab meat.

Even the warehouse couldn’t accommodate all the crab meat; the Royal Blue Giant Crab alone could fill up most of Chen Qing’s ship.

With so much crab meat, Chen Qing simply invited everyone she knew on the island for a crab feast.

Zhao Fuli and a few other survivors also joined the invite list.

Of course, the preparation work was also left to the Superpower Vine.

Chen Qing went to her room to wash off the fishy smell from her body.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, the Superpower Vine had already set up the barbecue grill.

Zhao Fuli and the others were already at the port, so they were the first to arrive.

Apart from them, Chen Qing also invited the shipyard owner, Ariel from the Bounty Guild, Huo Hou and a crowd of Hunters, as well as One-eyed and Tang from the recycling factory.

A total of twenty or thirty people arrived in dribs and drabs, all gathering on the deck.

However, since Chen Qing, the hostess, hadn’t come out, they didn’t start eating but instead helped the Superpower Vine to prepare the food.

Huo Hou and her companions brought plenty of alcohol and seasonings, and when it came to barbecues, these daily outdoor hunters couldn’t be more skilled.

Ariel, though it pained her, bought Chen Qing a bouquet of flowers, while the shipyard boss carried fruit and vegetables.

Zhao Fuli and her friends didn’t come empty-handed either, truly bringing some secret recipe barbecue.

When Chen Qing came out, Zhao Fuli was in a spat with Huo Hou about whose barbecue tasted better.

The warm yellow light cast a glow on everyone’s faces, smiles hanging on all of them.

Delicious food indeed makes people feel relaxed.

However...

Chen Qing tied back her freshly trimmed hair from the bathroom and frowned slightly.

Looking at Shang Jia, who was stirring the pot among the crowd, she didn’t remember having invited Shang Jia.

"Chen Qing."

Seeing Chen Qing, Zhao Fuli’s eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled her over to arbitrate.

When it came to barbecue, naturally their Dragon Country’s street stalls were the strongest, right?

Chen Qing shook her head helplessly.

"Why not try it and see?"

A smile appeared on Chen Qing’s face as she gestured for them to look ahead.

Superpower Vine was serving up processed crab meat along with other ingredients.

Hearing Chen Qing’s suggestion, Zhao Fuli and Huo Hou immediately had flames of battle in their eyes.

"Afraid? As if!"

The two said in unison, rushing towards Superpower Vine, and the others followed suit.

Chen Qing grabbed the clothes of Shang Jia, who was about to join the excitement.

"I don’t recall inviting you, do I?"

Chen Qing’s dark pupils stared at Shang Jia with a gentle tone that somehow felt dangerous.

But who is Shang Jia? Her skin is thick.

"Alas, that guy Youan really didn’t give me dinner."

"I had no choice but to come mooch off yours."

At that moment, Shang Jia seemed like a different person, draping an arm over Chen Qing’s shoulder and smiling playfully.

Shang Jia’s strength was terrifying, and Chen Qing couldn’t break free at all.

"..."

To the unknowing, one might think Chen Qing and Shang Jia got along really well, yet just this past day they almost clashed.

"Shang Jia!!!"

No sooner had Shang Jia finished speaking than a roar came from the gigantic ship beside Chen Qing.

Then, an angry Youan appeared before them, looking at Shang Jia, who was still waving at her, feeling utterly embarrassed.

She had actually talked about such things to outsiders!

And what was this about not giving her a meal, as if the kitchen door could really stop her!

Since when had she ever truly gone hungry!

"Yo, Youan, want to come have a bite?"

Not only did Shang Jia mooch off the food herself, but she even wanted to bring the rest of the Demon Dragon Pirate Group to mooch as well.

Truly, she had a thick face.
