Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Golden Magic Jade, Royal Blue Gemstone of the Cloud Sea

The completion of the defensive constructions brought good news, and both Mazan and Shui Seqinglan’s deputy came to the Deep Sea Base.

Due to internal issues within the Jade Islands, Shui Seqinglan currently couldn’t leave Jade Island.

If she had left, other islands in the Jade Islands might have taken the opportunity to cause trouble.

Moreover, the damage the Gemstone Hurricane caused to Jade Island was no less severe than to Sapphire Island, perhaps even more so.

Compared to Sapphire Island, the internal unrest within the Jade Islands was significantly worse. Even when facing such external pressures, they had not chosen to work together.

Regarding the implementation of the defensive constructions, both Shui Seqinglan and Mazan were overjoyed.

Therefore, they readily agreed to the request Chen Qing had made without much thought and even specially sent someone to deliver the items to Chen Qing’s ship.

With the defensive constructions completed, the following tasks no longer needed Chen Qing’s involvement; Mazan and Shui Seqinglan would handle them.

Relying on Recovery Potions, they had endured for over a month with hardly any sleep.

If it weren’t for watching over this Grade-A construction, the group of mechanics might have given Mazan a performance of falling asleep right there and then.

Inevitably, having endured such long nights, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the project was implemented, and signs of fatigue seemed to emerge all at once.

Indeed, more than a month of relentless, sleepless nights, even with the support of Recovery Potions, had pushed their mental states to their limits.

Chen Qing and her team did not participate in the subsequent defensive tasks and instead went back to wash up and rest.

Before leaving the Deep Sea Base, Shui Seqinglan’s deputy gave each of them a Grade-B Golden Quality Special Jade.

[Golden Magic Jade: Consuming it eliminates all hidden risks in one’s body, and wearing it long-term can slowly enhance spiritual power, refreshing and invigorating the mind.]

The golden, round jade lay in Chen Qing’s palm, and before she took any action, another piece of jade appeared in her palm.

"?"

Chen Qing, puzzled, looked up at Xia Li who had placed the jade in the middle of her hand.

"Eat one, wear one."

Xia Li was concise, coughed lightly, and added two more phrases.

"A token of gratitude."

"Part one."

The Golden Magic Jade of Jade Island was extremely rare, and Jade Island never allowed it to be seen by outsiders.

This time Shui Seqinglan had brought out so much Golden Magic Jade, it seemed they had taken out their years of accumulated stock.

Given the previous situation in the Jade Islands, even if Golden Magic Jade was available, Shui Seqinglan wouldn’t have been able to obtain two pieces.

"Hmm."

With Xia Li saying so, Chen Qing gladly accepted it, as the item was indeed rare.

Chen Qing was just about to stow away the two pieces of jade when several more Golden Magic Jades appeared in front of her; she raised an eyebrow.

"A token of gratitude, part one."

The mechanics said in unison, perfectly synchronized.

Each to their own; Chen Qing had helped them reach the threshold of becoming Cangming Mechanics, and naturally, they had reason to be thankful.

If left to themselves, who knows how many more years they would have waited.

The stretch goal for Deep Blue Sea Mechanics was to become School Mechanics, but if they could step into the ranks of Cangming Mechanics...

They would dare to pull down the president of the Mechanic Association tomorrow and make her their junior!

Suddenly, Chen Qing received eight pieces of Golden Magic Jade, enough to decorate her entire body.

However, Chen Qing did not like wearing jewelry and still needed to figure out how to dispose of those Golden Magic Jade.

Other mechanics did not give the Magic Jade to Chen Qing, but they had already prepared other thank-you gifts.

As School Mechanics, these people were all quite wealthy.

After leaving the Deep Sea Base, Chen Qing returned to the ship, ate, washed up, changed clothes, and slept.

The Golden Magic Jade was washed by her with water while she bathed, and then she swallowed it.

The hard jade quickly transformed into a warm current upon entering her mouth, flowing through her and spreading to every limb.

Chen Qing squinted her eyes, feeling rather sluggish and sleepy.

She had drunk too much Recovery Potion, which was bound to have some effect on the body.

The Golden Magic Jade effectively eliminated all the side effects of over-consuming Recovery Potion.

Chen Qing could finally have a good sleep.

After over a month of sleeplessness, Chen Qing lay in bed and slept for two days and one night, a dreamless good sleep.

When she woke up, the Gemstone Hurricane had not yet ended, and the other mechanics were still resting.

However, with the advanced defense structures they had built, both Sapphire Island and Jade Island were safe.

The seventh round of the Gemstone Hurricane had passed safely for both islands.

The upcoming eighth and ninth rounds would pose no problem either.

Even a sea channel had appeared between the two islands, allowing safe passage for ships from both islands.

After waking up, Chen Qing quickly organized the ship’s supplies, shopped around in the market and various places on Sapphire Island, and then prepared to head to Jade Island.

Chen Qing had already set her sights on the Wind Shadow Jade of Jade Island; now was the perfect time to make preparations there.

After purchasing all the specialties of Sapphire Island heavily, Chen Qing spent a day purchasing and organizing, leaving contact information with the mechanics.

They all came from powerful families in the Deep Blue Sea.

Maintaining a good relationship with them was the best choice, no matter what aspect it was considered from.

Before leaving, Mazan gave Chen Qing a complete replica blueprint of the defense structure and expressed her hope that Chen Qing would stay on Sapphire Island as an island mechanic.

Although Mazan knew that a person like Chen Qing would not likely be confined to one place, she still harbored faint hope for the future of Sapphire Island and made an offer she had never promised before in her life.

If it were not for suitability, Mazan would even consider giving her position as Island Master to Chen Qing if only Chen Qing would agree to stay.

Of course, Chen Qing declined this proposal quite expectedly.

Chen Qing simply could not stay in one place permanently.

Maybe she could consider it when she got older, just like Lei Guang.

Mazan was regretful but did not persist excessively; relying on the relationship she now had with Sapphire Island and Chen Qing, she could still keep in touch and ask for help in the future.

But if she had insisted too much...

Before leaving, Mazan also gave Chen Qing a piece of advanced-quality Blue Gemstone, Grade B golden quality.

[Sky Sea Royal Sapphire: Not edible, suitable for crafting into jewelry or inlays, can enhance speed, spiritual power, and reaction speed.]

Sapphire Island did not have the profound resources of Jade Island, so Mazan could only offer this much.

After Mazan left, Chen Qing drove the ship back to the port and set sail with other merchant ships to Jade Island.

She also took on a small merchant ship’s escort mission, saving where she could and spending where necessary—it was just a concurrent matter.

Chen Qing was indeed very thrifty and managed her resources well.
