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

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Laborious Mechanics

Hearing Qing Xian’s relayed message, a group of young children froze, then the next moment, they embraced each other and burst into tears.

Scared to death wuwuwu—

Even the kidnapped survivor was no older than 20, with the youngest being just 12.

In the face of this cruel world, they truly felt powerless.

Fortunately, they had encountered a group of rather nice adults.

Other survivors on the private chat channel were also trying hard to think of ways to help Qing Xian and the others, with contacts contacting contacts, those with weapons providing weapons, and those nearby even rushing over to help with the prison break.

Compared to the natives, the survivors were much weaker, not to mention the frequent betrayals and sabotage within their own ranks.

Rarely did you find such conscientious children, and they would help as much as they could.

Chen Qing was currently in the Gem Sea and trapped in the midst of the Gemstone Hurricane; she definitely couldn’t make it over there and could only offer remote support.

However, Xia Li and the others were in the Gem Sea and, even if they wanted to help, it wasn’t clear if they could get in contact with the Treasure Sea.

When Chen Qing went looking for Xia Li, she was busy.

With Xia Li’s silent consent, the two cooperated tacitly and quickly finished the work Xia Li had on hand.

"What’s the matter."

Xia Li looked up and drank a vial of Red potion before asking.

"A kid in the Treasure Sea killed a noble and got captured."

Chen Qing briefly described the situation, Xia Li frowned, quietly pondered for a moment, then exhaled and asked, mentioning a name.

"From the Delu Gu Family?"

This family was infamous in the Treasure Sea, a notoriously crazy clan.

Xia Li and a few others, as School Mechanics in the Treasure Sea, were highly respected and had extensive connections.

Though they weren’t the same kind of people as those nobles, they had occasionally interacted with them and knew quite a few of them.

Especially the crazy Delu Gu Family.

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Chen Qing asked Qing Xian, and as soon as the message was sent out, she immediately received Qing Xian’s confirmation.

Xia Li thought for a moment and quickly called another School Mechanic over.

This School Mechanic had conflicts with the Delu Gu family in the past, and it had resulted in a deadly feud.

Today, Chen Qing had provided her with the perfect pretext to annihilate that crazy family completely.

"Chen Qing, I heard from Xia Li that your young friend has been taken by the Delu Gu Family!" The War Mechanic looked at Chen Qing as if her eyes were shining; Chen Qing really was her benefactor!

Her feud with the Delu Gu family was not minor, and if she could use this opportunity to completely wipe out the Delu Gu family...

The Babalu Family could claim at least a third of the war machines in the Treasure Sea!

Chen Qing briefed Baba on the current situation, and her face suddenly changed!

"They even dare to do something like this!"

"Where are those kids hiding right now?! They are in great danger!"

The Delu Gu Family had done such things before and had to give up a large part of their fortune to save a section of the family core members when the situation came to light.

Now that their private deeds had been discovered again, they would certainly need to deal with all the participants involved in the incident!

After all, if these matters were brought to light again, the Delu Gu Family could not resolve it just by giving up their fortune.

"..."

Chen Qing remained silent; Qing Xian and the others really were lucky.

In silence, she lent two Super Shield Whales to Qing Xian and the others for them to use as a hiding spot; their current situation was very dangerous.

"Don’t worry, we won’t let you work for nothing."

Babalu mistook Chen Qing’s silence as dissatisfaction with the terms of the exchange and promptly put the rewards out in the open.

Xia Li kept her mouth shut; there was no need to worry she would spill the beans.

"We’ll give you one tenth of the Delu Gu family’s wealth," they said.

Of course, that was what they said, whether they actually gave Chen Qing one-tenth was up to them.

But, Babaro would definitely give Chen Qing her share.

"...They are now in a coral cave in Treasure Sea, the location is roughly east of Shipwreck Island..."

It was truly an unexpected windfall for Chen Qing, who had originally planned to owe Xia Li a favor and pay her some gold.

Instead, she hadn’t incurred any favor, and someone had paid her a large bounty.

It was unexpected, staying at the bottom of the sea to repair the defense works, and still encountering such good fortune.

Sure enough, when one becomes strong enough, even without actively seeking money, it will come rolling in.

Chen Qing didn’t have much hope for the reward promised by Babaro, whether it was more or less, it was up to them; her main concern was the safety of those kids.

After all, Qing Xian was a pretty amazing kid; it would be a pity if he died.

"Ensuring the safety of those kids will be enough."

Chen Qing shook her head, not particularly interested in the money Babaro promised.

"Don’t worry, I guarantee you will see them alive in Treasure Sea," Babaro said with a candid smile, knowing she still had to pay what was due, with no need to owe Chen Qing any favors.

Those kids had been a great help to the Babalu Family, and naturally, they would also receive a substantial reward.

The Babalu Family was not like that crazy Delu Gu family.

Xia Li, who hadn’t said a word throughout, stood between them, watching as they each contacted their respective people.

As the facilitator of the deal, Xia Li would naturally receive a thank-you gift from both parties.

She glanced at Chen Qing, then at Babaro and silently picked up her tools to continue working hard.

This little interlude wouldn’t affect the progress of the works.

After informing Qing Xian and the others about the situation, Chen Qing went back to continue her hard work, and so did Babaro.

It was just a brief episode during their break time.

All three were very calm, quickly putting the matter behind them.

However, over at Treasure Sea, this incident had caused quite a stir.

The outbreak of war between two Mechanic clans was definitely a major event for Treasure Sea!

Especially since one of the parties was the infamous mad Delu Gu family.

The long-peaceful Treasure Sea was bustling with excitement once again!

Qing Xian never would have imagined that the matter would be resolved so quickly.

Chen Qing the boss, was terrifying indeed.

Chen Qing’s name suddenly became widespread among the survivors, and her image grew even more mysterious and powerful.

Such a powerful figure, one would really want to know what carefree life she lived.

As the strong and mysterious survivor living a carefree life as described by others, Chen Qing was still diligently toiling away at the Deep Sea Base.

All the School Mechanics of the Deep Sea Base, along with Chen Qing the Intermediate Mechanic, were treated like tireless machines in the midst of the defense construction.

It was really too pitiful.

Working day and night without any rest was far too miserable to be described by just one word.

However, none of them felt pitiful at all.

Chen Qing, immersed in the creation of machinery, found time passing by swiftly.

When she once again pulled her thoughts away from work, nearly a month had already flown by.

The sixth cycle of the Gemstone Hurricane had arrived!
