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

Chapter 93: Chapter 93 The Only World Atlas

Without Cross Star interfering from the shadows, Chen Qing managed to repair the protective shield device smoothly, spending just over an hour to replace all of its parts.

This time, the rebellion on Sapphire Island was incited by Cross Star from behind the scenes.

And the people behind Cross Star, their end will not be pleasant.

On their way to thank their patron, the members of Cross Star were discussing Chen Qing.

"Do you think the new companion will thank us for the welcome gift we gave her?"

Silver Light was shirtless, hanging upside down from the ceiling, the blood on his wound had coagulated, but he had not treated it in any way.

Although he had fired two shots to welcome Chen Qing’s joining, they really did give her a welcome gift.

Calling off the rebellion against Sapphire Island was the welcome gift they gave to Chen Qing.

Look how thoughtful they are.

The members of Cross Star unashamedly took credit for themselves.

"I think she might not appreciate our intentions yet, but no worries, it won’t take long before she definitely understands," Liu Jin said with a grin.

It was always like this when a new companion joined; not only did they not express gratitude, but they even resented them.

But no matter, Chen Qing would surely change her mind soon, just like Huan Cai did.

She couldn’t wait to see the day Chen Qing joined them.

Chen Qing...

...

"Achoo—"

Having resolved the protective shield issue, Chen Qing returned to the Deep Sea Base to help others complete their tasks.

While preparing to install a part, she suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

Xia Li glanced at her silently asking.

"It’s nothing,"

Chen Qing shook her head, feeling puzzled about why she had suddenly sneezed.

She had no idea that the thoughts of the people in Cross Star were so bizarrely distorted.

Calling off the rebellion against Sapphire Island as a welcome gift for her?

That was for Mazan and Sapphire Island, but they insisted on crediting it to Chen Qing.

Moreover, they had committed murder and stirred troubles, just that they did not succeed, yet they had the nerve to say they called off their actions.

Besides, Sapphire Island had nothing to do with Chen Qing.

The relationship between Chen Qing and Sapphire Island was purely transactional, with a bit of affection, but very slight.

For that slight affection, she was to sell herself to Cross Star? She thought excessively.

Indeed, they were a bunch of madmen.

Chen Qing wasn’t aware that the members of Cross Star were psychologically twisted to this extent, forcibly labeling her as a benefactor of Chen Qing and ready to manipulate with supposed gratitude.

They truly had their unique set of operational theories, thinking they were particularly reasonable.

But no matter, they had their theories, and Chen Qing had her own principles.

Neither moral coercions nor senseless disturbances would work on Chen Qing.

The members of Cross Star had made it to the top of Chen Qing’s kill list.

These people must be eliminated soon, or they would be very troublesome.

Chen Qing didn’t have time to deal with them now, although the protective shield was repaired, the defense works were not yet done.

The shield couldn’t withstand the upcoming Gemstone Hurricane.

Fortunately, the defense construction was about to be completed. With Cross Star no longer causing trouble, Chen Qing and the other Mechanics had a smooth ride, without any more problems arising.

The ease of completion left Xia Li and Brown somewhat in disbelief. Was it really completed just like that?

The two stood in front of the newly completed defense construction, looking at each other, somewhat incredulous.

"Did we... finish?"

Babaro was also a bit dazed, not because they hadn’t seen much of the world, but because it went too smoothly, which made them a bit suspicious.

Throughout the construction, there had been numerous unexpected mishaps. Yet, as they neared completion, suddenly there were no accidents, and the project concluded smoothly.

Perhaps something like a crazy outbreak of the Gemstone Hurricane would occur, the shield wouldn’t hold, yet the defense construction was nearly complete, and they madly rushed to finish at the very last moment.

How could there be no accidents at all, which made it a bit hard to adapt to.

"Yes, it’s completed."

Chen Qing answered calmly, as she already heard the system’s notification sound by her ear.

For completing this A-Level defense construction, Chen Qing’s professional experience suddenly propelled her into the ranks of Senior Mechanics.

And, being only one level away from becoming a School Mechanic, Chen Qing was now a Level 29 Senior Mechanic.

Apprentice Mechanics total 10 levels, Beginner Mechanics 15 levels, Intermediate Mechanics 20 levels, and Senior Mechanics are at Level 30.

The next level of School Mechanic has a total of 100 levels.

As the main contributor to this defense construction, Chen Qing received a substantial reward.

Upon completion of the construction, Chen Qing’s reward included five B-level blueprints and one A-level blueprint, all for Mechanical Creations.

She isn’t able to collect all the materials yet, so for now, they can only sit at the bottom of her chest.

However, when she completed the blueprints, Chen Qing received a collection-type album props.

[Unique·World Atlas (Special) (To be activated): An atlas that encompasses all the marine world’s living and non-living creatures.

Once activated, lighting up a certain number of items in the atlas and achieving a percentage of completion will yield rewards.]

This reward is absolutely top-notch.

The only downside is that the atlas is not activated.

If Chen Qing had independently completed an A-level Mechanical Diagram as an Intermediate Mechanic, then it’s estimated that the World Atlas she received would not need activation, and she might even get other rewards.

As for now, the conditions for activating this unique item are quite harsh.

It requires Chen Qing 18,888 Extraordinary Points, which is simply ridiculous!

"Are you guys insane, isn’t it good that it was completed smoothly?"

A School Mechanic rolled their eyes, a masochist huh, you’re not satisfied unless something goes wrong.

"Hahaha, isn’t it just a bit unbelievable? We didn’t expect to complete it before the next outbreak of the Gemstone Hurricane."

Babaro laughed heartily, her gaze tenderly looking at the defense construction in front of her as if looking at her most beloved child.

This construction had absorbed a great deal of their efforts; Babaro had spent many years here.

With this construction to rely on, the next successor of the Babalu Family was undoubtedly her!

Barbara Babaro, one of the heirs of the Treasure Sea Babalu Family, collaborated with Gem Sea’s Sapphire Island and Jade Island to keep the A-level defense construction hidden. Wasn’t this the very reason for it?

After all... the family might not necessarily be hers.

But now, the family was definitely hers!

All of this, she owed to Chen Qing.

All Mechanics’ eyes fell on Chen Qing, while Chen Qing’s gaze fell on the remaining materials of the defense construction.

Now that the construction was completed, the remaining materials...

Could she possibly ask Mazan for a bit?
