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

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Spatial Bounty Items

After organizing the plantation zone and clarifying her thoughts, Chen Qing returned to the mechanical factory beneath the ship.

In the mechanical factory, which operated day and night without stopping, the warehouse was now filled with Environment Adaptation Devices.

Together, there were a total of 693 units of three different models.

Having organized these devices, Chen Qing put some of them up for sale on a private channel.

She rarely looked at the chat channels now, as the consultations there were hardly of any value.

And indeed, Chen Qing had been far too busy recently to spend any time on survivors, nor was there any need to.

Chen Qing did, however, continue to sell basic material packs on the trade channel on a regular basis since some survivors were truly unlucky.

They got none of the major seas, all allocated to some uninhabited and dangerous seas.

However, this meant that they also had more opportunities.

Whether they could seize these opportunities depended on themselves.

If Chen Qing had the time, she would actually be quite interested in visiting those uninhabited sea areas.

After all, high risk meant high returns, but such an adventure had to be queued far back in her schedule, which was filled every day.

Having sorted out the mechanical factory, Chen Qing checked and maintained the assembly line equipment regularly, with Mechanical Ants assisting her.

The Assistant Bee Hive was located directly beneath the mechanical factory; Chen Qing had opened a passageway between the two locations for the Assistant Bees to enter and exit the mechanical factory at any time.

If anything unexpected happened in the factory, they would arrive even faster than Chen Qing.

The massive golden Assistant Bee Hive hung from the ceiling, occupying almost the entire floor.

Sporadic Assistant Bees constantly moved in and out between the Hive and the warehouse, with the initial forms of Super Shield Whales taking shape within the Hive.

The intelligence of the Assistant Bees was very high, and their mechanical skills were also formidable.

Given blueprints, there was almost nothing that they could not manufacture.

In the creation of advanced machinery, they were the best helpers.

After checking the Hive and the Assistant Bees, Chen Qing left the work area.

These tasks were monotonous but had to be performed regularly.

Only after resolving all her pending tasks and sitting down in the dining room for dinner did Chen Qing have the time to start looking into the contents of the Space Ring while eating.

The black ring, interwoven with leaves and branches, sat elegantly on her slender finger, simple yet generous in appearance.

Chen Qing’s spiritual power delved into the space, and the first thing she saw was a beating Red Heart in motion.

Anyone who saw this heart for the first time would mistake it for a human heart.

In appearance, it was no different from a human’s heart.

But in reality, it was a mechanically manufactured perfect heart—C-grade·Red·Mechanical Heart.

Chen Qing examined the Mechanical Heart in her palm, still pulsing steadily, and she didn’t recklessly use her spiritual power to probe it.

The reason was simple.

"[A mechanical heart with high intelligence, its mechanical creations will self-improve and evolve, indistinguishable from humans.]"

"[However, it is as fragile as a human heart, so please protect it carefully.]"

"[Do you think the mechanical creations using it will develop a true soul?]"

If this heart were carelessly probed with spiritual power, she might very well end up an imbecile.

Giving such an item to Chen Qing was like entrusting a child with gold in a bustling market.

The reward given by the Moana Pirate Group was perhaps a little too generous.

Under normal circumstances, all items or creatures in this world would not vary too much in both grade and quality.

White (G-E), green (E-D), blue (D-C), purple (C-B), ...

They basically do not stray from this range.

But the one in Chen Qing’s hands...

A Mechanical Heart that was only C class yet surprisingly attained a red quality, had a description that was very intriguing.

Mechanical Creation and soul.

What kind of terrifying existence must the creator be?

"..."

Chen Qing stared at the heart for a long time before finally returning it to its original place inside the space.

Although Chen Qing had some ideas for this Mechanical Heart, there was currently no suitable place for it, so it could only gather dust in the space for the time being.

Besides the heart, there were a few other things in the Space Ring, not many.

Actually, just the heart itself was more than enough for Chen Qing.

She took out the other items in the space one by one, arranging them on the clean and tidy dining table.

Three B-grade active Skill Books, three passive skills, and one B-grade golden-quality blueprint.

[Skill: Blueprint Improvement: Can modify B-grade or lower blueprints.]

[Skill·Mechanical Core Invasion: Invade mechanical creations with a Mechanical Core of B-grade or lower that are not allied, achieving control over non-allied Mechanical Creations.]

[Skill·Army Manipulation: A control-type skill, supported by immense spiritual power, capable of simultaneously manipulating up to ten thousand mechanical units of B-grade or lower.]

[Passive·High Concentration: highly concentrated spiritual power while learning manufacturing, increasing the speed of learning manufacturing.]

[Passive·Indomitable: Even when faced with the most desperate situations or dangerously terrifying entities, your will shall not waver.]

[Passive·Extraordinary Body: Enhanced body defense, great recovery speed, reduced function consumption for various exhaustive actions.]

[Golden·Blueprint·Military Factory: The construction blueprint for a military factory, comes with six random B-grade combat mechanical diagrams upon completion.]

Plus a Space Ring with a total volume of 1000 cubic meters, these items constituted all the bounty given to Chen Qing by the Moana Pirate Group.

No wonder those pirate groups were desperate to capture Daliya.

The gifts from the Moana Pirate Group weren’t numerous, but their quality was absolutely superb.

Even a slight gift casually dropped from the fingertips of those higher beings could serve people like Chen Qing for their entire lives.

These blueprints and skills, coupled with the bounty previously given by Lei Guang, were completely sufficient for Chen Qing to create a Mechanical Kingdom in the Deep Blue Sea.

They might not rule the entire Deep Blue Sea, but dominating one area was definitely achievable.

As for these blueprints and skills, Chen Qing quickly had a plan in her heart.

She did not plan on creating a Mechanical Kingdom in the Deep Blue Sea, but she could completely transform her ship into a mobile giant transcendent Mechanical "Kingdom."

It could advance or retreat, ascend to the skies or dive underwater, with limitless capabilities.

Just the thought of the expenses was daunting.

However, Chen Qing felt that it was quite a challenge.

She might as well set it as her next goal.

Chen Qing was in high spirits, and on a small whiteboard on the wall, next to the goal of dominating the Deep Blue Sea, a new objective was added.

[Build a Mechanical Kingdom belonging to Chen Qing.]
