When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean. Chapter 64 Intermediate Advanced Mechanic/Sword Master

Chen Qing’s words left these people red-faced; they were not ashad, but rather, they were both angry and fearful.

Angry that Chen Qing didn’t give them any face, and fearful because if Chen Qing truly didn’t give them any face, what were they to do if she stopped caring about them?

The atmosphere beca awkward for a mont.

Chen Qing didn’t care whether they were embarrassed or not; she took Linden back to the ship with her.

She didn’t have that much ti to waste on them, and there was no need to do so.

Moreover, to be honest, Chen Qing didn’t think they would die in the Gemstone Hurricane; they were sowhat scared by Linden’s words.

The two groups beneath the ship exchanged glances, unsure of what to do, until the island’s construction team arrived.

"What are you all doing standing around here? Are you planning to sign up for the construction team?"

The tall and burly team leader, wearing a construction helt, frowned at this group of people.

Pirates that didn’t look like pirates, hunters that didn’t look like hunters—the number of sea wanderers had increased significantly of late.

"Construction team? How’s the pay?!"

Zhao Fuli imdiately got to the heart of the leader’s question and asked.

"als included, twenty silver crabs a day."

Twenty silver crabs a day was definitely a very generous offer for the average citizen, and it made all within earshot brighten with interest.

However, not just anyone could join the construction team; the work was heavy, there was a certain degree of danger, and the construction period was not long.

"Compensation for death is fifty goldfish,"

added the team leader.

"!!!

The survivors who had initially planned on joining the construction team imdiately had second thoughts upon hearing this.

There was even a risk to their lives!

"I’m signing up!"

Zhao Fuli bit her teeth and decided to sign up for the construction team.

It was not only for the pay; her main objective was to gain a deeper understanding of this world, as well as the Gemstone Hurricane affair.

The construction team would surely know more than Linden, and maybe they were also in charge of the Gemstone Hurricane’s defenses.

Following Zhao Fuli’s lead, Shu Yin, Zhang Xiaohong, and several others also signed up.

Many more survivors signed up one after another, but the construction team was selective, only choosing so of the more physically fit individuals.

"What will we do if you leave, Zhao Fuli? You can’t just stop caring about us too!"

The group that liked to moralize was sowhat collapsing—what were they to do?

"Do I look like I’m that resentful?"

Zhao Fuli gave them a disdainful glance, thinking that they only knew how to rely on others, not realizing that "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter." She couldn’t be bothered with these people any longer and had to thank Chen Qing for weeding them out.

Zhao Fuli glanced in the direction of Chen Qing’s ship, vowing that one day she would buy a ship that large for herself as well!

anwhile, aboard the ship, Chen Qing was administering a body-enhancing potion to Linden, which she had purchased from a survivor who went by the nickna ’pharmacist’ on a private channel.

This potion, called Green Forest, could enhance a person’s body and spirit attribute from G to F, varying from person to person.

The specific results would depend on the individual taking it.

This potion sold for ten goldfish and could be taken multiple tis, though it had a maximum effective limit.

Chen Qing had bought a dozen potions for future use, of which Linden had used three. Her talents could not be said to be very high.

Fortunately, Linden was a hard-working kid.

In addition to that, Chen Qing spent one hundred goldfish to buy a chanic’s Profession Scroll from the channel for Linden.

anwhile, she handed her a Gold Bank Card with 500 goldfish on it, along with so loose Silver Crabs and copper coins.

Linden couldn’t protect a fortune too large, even though she had beco a professional, compared to those experienced thieves and robbers, her weakness was quite obvious.

"Sister Chen Qing?"

Having taken the potion, Linden woke up in a daze, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Qing sitting by the bed fixing sothing.

"Awake?"

"I’ve put your things at the bow of the ship."

Chen Qing glanced up at Linden and quickly returned her attention to the scrapped Blast Battle Rabbit she was working on.

"...Sister Chen Qing, I—"

Linden bit her lip, wanting to plead with Chen Qing to let her stay and follow her, but before she could finish her sentence, Chen Qing interrupted her.

"Sorry."

Chen Qing refused Linden’s request without any hesitation, as she knew what Linden wanted to say.

"..."

Linden lowered her head in disappointnt, said no more, took the money and the scroll, and quietly left.

As soon as she left the room, she was stuffed full of a large bundle by the Superpower Vine.

All of it was the basic materials and tools Chen Qing had prepared for her.

Linden forcefully wiped her tears and gave a deep bow in the direction of Chen Qing.

In the room, Chen Qing frowned tightly, feeling regretful that there was no chance of repairing the Blast Battle Rabbit.

The strength of those hunters and pirates was indeed formidable.

The chanical Heart of the Blast Battle Rabbit, along with the Iron Vein, had been completely shattered, reduced to fragnts, with no possibility of repair.

Chen Qing took the Blast Battle Rabbit to her workshop, ready to dismantle all the usable materials left on its body.

This would make her more familiar with the intricate structure of the Blast Battle Rabbit.

The Assistant Bees were a great help when assembling the Blast Battle Rabbit, and after dismantling it, Chen Qing planned to go to the recycling plant, and then to the shipyard.

She wonders if Grandma Taozi has returned by now.

Compared to when it was being assembled, Chen Qing’s disassembly speed was very fast, partly because she had leveled up to an Interdiate Advanced chanic.

Upon becoming an Interdiate Advanced chanic, Chen Qing’s chanic Skills hadn’t changed much.

The only difference was that the words ’simple’ were removed from simple repair and simple modification, becoming chanic Repair and chanic Modification.

To Chen Qing, this didn’t add much, and she had a faint feeling that she wouldn’t truly have made it until she broke through to Senior chanic.

Along with the chanic, her fighter profession had also leveled up. Since Chen Qing chose the blade as her weapon, her fighter progression was fighter—Basic Beginner Blade Master—Interdiate Advanced Blade Master.

Similar to the chanic, after leveling up to Interdiate, Chen Qing gained two E-class skills.

[Close Combat], [Tornado Blade Slash].

In addition, from that Biological Ship and the other pirate hunters, Chen Qing had scraped together 998.76 Extraordinary Points.

And to break her body from an E-grade to a D, she needed 1000 Extraordinary Points.

Perfect, Chen Qing also needed to get well-acquainted with training her current body.

Chen Qing planned to send the ship for a retrofit at the shipyard, and after returning, it would be the perfect ti to upgrade so of the cabins.

Especially the chanical factory.

As Chen Qing was intently dismantling the Blast Battle Rabbit, a pile of flesh in the adjacent warehouse, packed in crates, suddenly made an exceedingly slight noise.

What was originally dead flesh eerily moved a little, subtly sliding out of the crate and rging with the floor, silently creeping towards the workshop through the gap under the door.

Chen Qing, with her back to it, seed still blissfully unaware.

The unknown creature suddenly lunged at Chen Qing, baring its fangs!
