Chapter 75: Chapter 75 A-level Red Quality Giant Maritime Defense Fortification

Internal Affairs Officer?

Island Master Mansion?

Chen Qing had no impression of the almost invisible Island Master Mansion on Sapphire Island, she only felt that they were slightly more humane than other forces.

Just slightly.

However, out of politeness, Chen Qing let the Superpower Vine release the Internal Affairs Officer and tidied up before going out to meet her.

Despite Chen Qing’s ship floating in the sky, she had not had a moment’s peace in these days.

The temptation of a hundred thousand goldfish, who could resist?

Not to mention the other bounties given by Moana’s group.

The pirates and hunters still on the island continued relentlessly, all attempting to kill Chen Qing.

"Miss Chen Qing, I am Duoluo, the Internal Affairs Officer of the Sapphire Island Island Master Mansion, Lord Mazan invites you to visit the Island Master Mansion," she said before Chen Qing came out, quickly straightening her disheveled appearance and speaking politely.

"Island Master?"

"Yes, it’s about the recent Gemstone Hurricane," Duoluo disclosed a bit more information to Chen Qing, a level that was completely okay to share with her.

She believed Chen Qing was a person of measure.

After all, carrying such a huge liability as Daliya and still parading through the cities, she hadn’t leaked even a tiny bit of information.

"Okay."

Chen Qing didn’t refuse, she was on the island of the mansion, what right did she have to refuse?

Moreover, Chen Qing also wanted to borrow some books; surely, the Island Master Mansion would have a lot of books, wouldn’t it?

Duoluo had come up on a Mechanical Fish, something the Lord Mansion’s Mechanics had created for fun.

Seeing the Mechanical Fish, Chen Qing’s desire to research it immediately surged.

"May I take a look at this fish?" Chen Qing asked.

Duoluo smiled benevolently and willingly agreed, knowing the nature of mechanics, always full of curiosity.

This Mechanical Fish was personally crafted by the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Island Master Mansion, Xia Li; even if Chen Qing dismantled it for research, she probably couldn’t fully understand it.

However, Duoluo didn’t expect that as soon as Chen Qing touched it, she had already figured out all the details of this Mechanical Fish.

Replicating it wasn’t hard, only Chen Qing didn’t have the exact materials, but she could make a lower-spec version.

This Mechanical Fish was quite fun.

Its appearance was somewhat similar to the Mechanical Fish taken away by Gao Yue from the Ten-color Pirate Group.

"Let’s go," Chen Qing said, retracting her hand and nodding politely to Duoluo.

"This fish was crafted by Lord Xia Li, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Island Master Mansion. Lady Xia Li has a very amiable nature, and she really appreciates diligent students," Duoluo started the driving panel of the fish, taking Chen Qing towards the mansion while reminding her.

As a young School Mechanic, only 32, Xia Li definitely belonged to the top tier among the mechanics of the Deep Blue Sea.

Unaware of how terrifying Chen Qing’s talent was, Duoluo genuinely wanted to remind her.

Mechanics relied heavily on talent, and having a teacher could ease many difficulties.

Not only would one receive guidance, but the teacher would also reimburse expenses and provide access to many precious materials that were otherwise unobtainable.

While Duoluo knew that Chen Qing wasn’t short on money, she probably was very lacking in systematic knowledge and connections.

This was exactly what Xia Li had.

Duoluo, deliberately pointing this out to Chen Qing, had her own motives; she knew Chen Qing came from a background as a sea wanderer.

Sapphire Island was the first island Chen Qing had landed on.

As an extremely talented mechanic, Xia Li wouldn’t possibly stay on Sapphire Island forever; she was leaving Sapphire Island next year.

If Chen Qing could become Xia Li’s student, then maybe they could negotiate with Chen Qing to take over Xia Li’s position, becoming a resident mechanic on the island.

Their treatment is very good.

Throughout the journey, Duoluo was openly boasting to Chen Qing about the generous treatment of the permanent mechanics on Sapphire Island, and how great it would be if she became Xia Li’s student.

It was obvious to everyone what Duoluo’s intentions were.

In response to Duoluo’s promotion, Chen Qing just smiled politely. During the stroll, with one talking nonstop and the other remaining quiet, they quickly reached the Island Master Mansion.

The Island Master Mansion on Sapphire Island was very extensive, but the buildings looked ordinary and were located in a secluded corner of the island, directly opposite the Mechanical Recycling Factory.

When Duoluo brought Chen Qing to the island master’s office, Xia Li happened to be coming out of the room.

Xia Li was a woman with an austere appearance, wearing a tank top and long trousers with many pockets.

"Lord Xia Li!"

Upon seeing Xia Li, Duoluo’s eyes brightened, and she enthusiastically introduced Xia Li and Chen Qing to each other.

"This is Miss Chen Qing. Although she is a newcomer, she is a very talented new mechanic!"

"Miss Chen Qing, this is the Lord Xia Li I mentioned to you."

"Hello."

Xia Li nodded at Chen Qing, her expression cool.

"I’ll leave now."

This was addressed to Duoluo, and after saying it, Xia Li left.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Duoluo touched her nose. Xia Li wasn’t usually like this.

It was probably because of the shield generator, which made her irritable.

But now, Duoluo couldn’t explain this to Chen Qing and just opened the door to a room for her.

Inside the room, Mazan was waiting for Chen Qing.

"The situation is quite urgent, so I’ll get straight to the point."

Mazan had a straightforward personality. After inviting Chen Qing to sit down, she went straight to the topic.

It turned out that Chen Qing also disliked beating around the bush, and Mazan’s direct style suited her tastes.

"The risk level of this Gemstone Hurricane will be ten times that of previous ones. With the current defensive structures on the island, we simply can’t withstand it."

"Once the Gemstone Hurricane breaches the defensive structures, the whole island will be engulfed and completely destroyed."

"I’ve called you here for this."

Mazan handed over a simplified blueprint, which Chen Qing glanced at.

An A-grade Red Quality massive sea-based defensive structure.

"..."

"You think too highly of me."

Chen Qing pushed the blueprint back. With her capabilities, she could at most only perform odd jobs within this structure.

An A-grade Red Quality massive defensive structure, compared to an A-grade Red Quality tool or mechanical creature, was completely on a different level.

Although Chen Qing was quite confident in her abilities, she was not arrogant.

Mazan had specifically called her here, surely not just to perform odd jobs.

Even if it was just to take part in odd jobs within such a massive defensive structure, Chen Qing was very pleased and would definitely accept willingly.

But if it were just for odd jobs, Mazan wouldn’t have specifically asked her to come to the Island Master Mansion to discuss it.

No mechanic would refuse.

"No matter whether the construction is successful or not, all involved professionals will receive a substantial reward, and even if it fails, we will not pursue any responsibilities from you."

"If it fails, you all are free to disclose our possession of this blueprint."

Mazan’s sincerity was substantial.

This blueprint was coincidentally obtained by Sapphire Island and Jade Island. They’ve kept this information very confidential. If not for this Gemstone Hurricane, they would have never released it.

The island simply didn’t have the capacity to protect this blueprint.

Without a doubt, it would attract attention from the entirety of the Deep Blue Sea Domain and perhaps even from Scarlet Sea Domain.
