Chapter 77: Chapter 77 News of the Mechanical Relics

It’s important to note that the Assistant Bee Nest that Chen Qing held was a heavily battle-damaged version, containing only a few sporadic Assistant Bees.

Even under such circumstances, the Assistant Bee Nest still managed to reach a pale purple quality.

So, if he had a complete Hive, could Chen Qing assume that it was of an A-level Red Quality?

An A-level Red Quality Assistant Bee Nest, in the hands of the former pirate Grandma Taozi from Sapphire Island,

An A-level Red Quality grand defensive maritime fortification was in the possession of the Island Master of Sapphire Island.

In the Deep Blue Sea, it is basically unheard of to equate anything with Red Quality.

Looking at the history of the Deep Blue Sea Domain, such a thing had never appeared before!

This kind of existence would even make many forces in the Scarlet Sea Domain envious!

Chen Qing’s thoughts wandered, contemplating whether there was any connection between the two.

If there was a relationship between them, does it mean that the Deep Blue Sea contains a... Mechanical Relic!

When this idea emerged, Chen Qing was astounded.

Mechanical Relics...

Could it be that those antique Mechanical Creations in Grandma Taozi’s recycling factory were also...

Does this have a connection with the Treasure Sea at Chunming Spring that Grandma Taozi mentioned?

The Treasure Sea could be called the stronghold of Mechanics, and within the stronghold of Mechanics, was a Mechanical Relic hidden?

This discovery was truly laughable.

Could this be the legendary case of failing to see what’s right under your nose?

However, Chen Qing wasn’t too optimistic about this possibility; those Mechanics weren’t fools.

Even if the Mechanics were foolish, would the pirates who roamed the Treasure Sea be stupid?

For the legendary treasures buried deep in the Treasure Sea, they must have overturned the Treasure Sea millions or billions of times.

Compared to the Mechanics in the Treasure Sea being unaware of the Relic’s existence, Chen Qing was more inclined to believe that they knew of its existence but didn’t know how to enter it.

Grandma Taozi and her pirate group had no reputation to speak of in the Deep Blue Sea Domain; their strength was insufficient to support them in entering the Relic before the Mechanics of the Treasure Sea could.

Likewise, Sapphire Island didn’t have the capability either.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the deck, dismantling the Superpower Vine to examine it while seriously considering the intricacies of this matter.

Combining the words Grandma Taozi left her before she departed...

The Mechanical Relic, under certain specific conditions, would open another entrance to the Relic.

Or perhaps, under these specific conditions, some things from within the Relic would flow out of it.

The Exploration Team from Sapphire Island obtained blueprints, while Grandma Taozi and her pirate group got their hands on a damaged Assistant Bee Nest.

Chen Qing was more inclined to the latter possibility, because if the gates of the Relic were opened, then Sapphire Island would have received more than just a blueprint.

To confirm her speculation, Chen Qing only needed to obtain the exploration log of Sapphire Island, and clarify the situation with Grandma Taozi’s pirate group when they first arrived at the Treasure Sea.

Moreover, as long as she understood the matter, Chen Qing could also deduce the exact conditions for the treasure flow from the Relic by combining both situations.

However, obtaining either the former or the latter proved difficult.

Sapphire Island would certainly keep this matter tightly concealed, they wouldn’t reveal this windfall even if they made the existence of the defense fortification known.

It was even more difficult to inquire about Grandma Taozi’s Nameless Pirate Group; over the years, countless pirate groups have come and gone from the Treasure Sea.

After closing the casing of the Superpower Vine, Chen Qing maintained and replaced all its internal parts once again.

While the task was difficult, it wasn’t impossible to complete.

Changing the perspective could suddenly make things clear.

First, Grandma Taozi and her team had obtained the general time and location of the Assistant Bee Nest.

Following this timeline and location, Chen Qing could check local logs and should be able to get more precise data.

As for the data from Sapphire Island, since they couldn’t get it directly from them, they could instead target the Treasure Sea.

Adventure teams and exploration teams would definitely have records, whether official or unofficial.

Such defensive fortifications required extensive preparation, saying three to five years or even ten years would be an understatement, unless Sapphire Island had other allies.

Pushing forward along this timeline, just a single thread could lead Chen Qing to unravel the mystery.

Finding commonality in the disparities, she could certainly analyze the rough situation from the data.

Chen Qing, who was currently weeding and fertilizing the planting area, soon had a clear plan for what to do next.

After the Gemstone Hurricane ended, she would set off for the Treasure Sea and could also drop by to check on Gao Yue and the others.

The treasure of the Treasure Sea, could it actually be a Mechanical Relic?

Upon reflection, this was quite reasonable.

If not for the Mechanical Relics gushing out various mechanics-related outputs, the Treasure Sea wouldn’t become the main base for Mechanics.

It was also because of the rumors of this treasure that the Mechanics of the Treasure Sea were able to thrive.

After all, salvaging treasure.

Ordinary pirates, unlike the Great Pirates with their formidable physiques, would surely need to rely on external forces.

The prosperous development of Mechanics in the Treasure Sea and the massive feeding of metal machinery were what allowed the relics to remain "active".

This point could be glimpsed from the Assistant Bee Nest that Chen Qing had acquired.

To some extent, that Mechanical Relic must be "alive".

The Mechanics of the Treasure Sea and the Mechanical Relics complemented each other.

With that thought... Chen Qing suddenly stopped her fertilizing.

The plants in the planting area had entered their growth phase, and among them, Chen Qing had found several special Extraordinary Plants.

But this was not important now.

An idea suddenly popped into Chen Qing’s mind.

Did the Mechanics of the Treasure Sea somehow fail to open that relic, or did they simply not want to open it?

Everything remained unknown.

Chen Qing’s lips curved upward slightly, feeling that the Treasure Sea could be quite interesting.

She was already somewhat eager to set off for the Treasure Sea.

Here in the Gem Sea, the second most popular professions were Gemstone Craftsman, Gemstone Designer, Gemstone Enchanter, and all other professions related to gemstones.

As a place with countless islands and seas, the most popular professions, of course, remained pirates and Hunters.

Before heading to the Treasure Sea, Chen Qing needed to ensure she could survive the Gemstone Hurricane.

She must prepare for the worst.

For example, the entirety of Sapphire Island being destroyed, abandoning her ship, and the like.

Of course, that was the second worst possibility, and Chen Qing didn’t wish for Sapphire Island to be destroyed like that, especially since she had just paid the deposit for her ship.

Based on this scenario, the Assistant Bee in the mechanical work area was striving to produce the Super Shield Whale to its full capacity.

No matter the situation, Chen Qing must do everything possible to have peace of mind.

To do one’s utmost and leave the rest to fate.

This, too, was one of Chen Qing’s life principles.
