บท 11: Chapter 11: Annihilate the Pirate, Massive Skill Explosion
At the first sign of danger, Chen Qing immediately darted to the side.
With her movement, a gunshot suddenly rang out near Chen Qing's ear!
"Not bad at dodging, quite agile."
The Doctor from the Black Saber Pirate Group watched Chen Qing with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.
The pistol in his hand was still letting off lingering smoke.
"What a pity."
Such a talent was about to fall here.
The seemingly kind old man's malice was clearly written on his face.
In the Endless Sea, there were countless professionals and Transcendents; the pistol the old man held wouldn't harm those people; they could easily dodge it.
But for a newcomer like Chen Qing, it was undoubtedly lethal.
Chen Qing wasn't yet strong enough to easily evade a pistol and consider it harmless.
She clutched at the wound on her left arm, from which blood was streaming.
The bullet that would have hit her heart missed and struck her arm instead, thanks to her early warning.
This time, she had been careless.
Chen Qing's complexion turned slightly pale, but her heart did not panic.
Looking at the current situation, Chen Qing seemed to be trapped in dire straits.
The Doctor of the Black Saber Pirate Group not only had a gun but also had unknown strength, giving Chen Qing a very dangerous feeling.
However... these three people were now on her ship.
Everything on the ship belonged to Chen Qing, on her own turf, and since they hadn't killed her instantly, they shouldn't even think about leaving alive.
Just as the Black Saber Doctor was about to pull the trigger again, Chen Qing listened to the sound of the revolver cycling and flicked her finger.
The Mechanical Ant had appeared behind the Black Saber Doctor at some point, carrying a not-so-light mechanical part in its grasp.
The tool-type Mechanical Creation had no offensive ability, but this didn't stop Chen Qing from making use of them.
Right before the Black Saber Doctor fired, the Mechanical Ant threw the mechanical part in its hand toward Chen Qing.
The Black Saber Doctor, standing right in front of Chen Qing, was caught off guard and staggered from the impact.
The Mechanical Ant, a Deep Blue Quality Mechanical Creation, was only a tool-type model, but its grade was stronger than the three living people present combined.
Seizing the moment the Black Saber Doctor was distracted, Chen Qing kicked a long knife up from the deck into her right hand and quickly rushed toward the Black Saber Doctor!
Chen Qing stepped on the bodies of three pirates, pushed off forcefully, and in the blink of an eye, was already in front of the Black Saber Doctor.
The Black Saber Doctor tried to retreat, but the Mechanical Ant firmly blocked his escape.
The old man who had just been ridiculing Chen Qing was now impaled by her.
"What a pity."
With an expression as stern as a corpse's, Chen Qing threw back at him the words that Demong had said to her.
How ironic that this made Demong angry enough to vomit blood profusely!
The old man might have been strong, but unfortunately, he had no chance to show it.
Just as Chen Qing impaled the old man, leaving him gasping for breath, suddenly a gust of wind came from behind her!
The Black Saber guy was not dead yet.
Chen Qing swiftly pounced toward the old man, snatched the pistol from his hands, fell to the ground, turned around, pulled the trigger, and fired—all in one smooth motion.
The ferocious expression on Black Saber's face froze, ultimately giving way to a strong unwillingness.
[Survivor Chen Qing has killed a G+ grade creature, the Black Saber Pirate Ship Doctor, and gained 1 point.]
[Survivor Chen Qing has killed a G+ grade creature, the Captain of the Black Saber Pirate Ship, Black Blade, gaining 1 point.]
[Survivor Chen Qing has crushed the E-ranked Black Saber Pirate Group, all members annihilated, reward points: 30 points.]
...
[As the first survivor to eliminate a pirate group, Survivor Chen Qing is rewarded with a C-ranked Identification Skill Book and three C-ranked random Mechanical Diagrams.]
After a series of system notification sounds, Chen Qing let out a sigh of relief, half-kneeling on the deck and leaning against the railing, slowly sitting down.
That was truly... hair-raising.
Black Blade and the doctor of the Black Saber Pirate Ship were judged by the system as G+ grade creatures, but the Black Saber Pirate Group was an E-ranked pirate group.
This indicated that their normal strength could reach E rank, and Chen Qing had really hit it big this time.
However, without the injured Black Saber Pirate Group, Chen Qing, a newcomer, might not have encountered them, as the gap in strength between them was too large.
The rewards for crushing the Black Saber Pirate Group were substantial: a Identification Skill Book and several diagrams, along with a handful of points.
Let's set the diagrams aside for a moment, as Chen Qing didn't have enough spare parts at the moment, but the identification skill…
The game did provide a basic Identification Skill, but now she was given another one, which was quite strange.
Chen Qing directly learned the skill, and the information of the skill immediately appeared in her mind.
[Skill · Identification (C-ranked): Can identify people, things, and events at or below C rank.]
The skill description was simple, but the simpler it was, the more useful it could be.
Chen Qing used the Identification Skill on the several dead bodies, and parts of their information quickly surfaced.
[Black Blade: Captain of the Black Saber Pirate Ship, strength assessment was originally D rank but now G+ rank, deceased, suffered severe injuries and a curse, cause unknown, skilled in swordsmanship, merciless and cruel...]
[Demong: Doctor of the Black Saber Pirate Ship, strength assessment was originally D rank but now G+ rank, deceased, suffered severe injuries and a curse, cause unknown, expert in medical skills...]
"..."
Looking at these corpses, a sudden idea flashed through Chen Qing's mind.
The idea seemed somewhat disgusting and unethical, but Chen Qing thought it was worth a try.
She temporarily ignored the gunshot wound on her arm, stood up shakily, and used the Decomposition Skill on the pirates' bodies.
The bodies of the pirates instantly decomposed, and amidst the chunks of flesh, Chen Qing saw what she was looking for.
Several... thin paper sheets.
[Skill · Medical Skill (E-ranked)], [Skill · Swordsmanship (E-ranked)], [Class Change Scroll·Sailor]...
Mixed in with the skills were a few recipes and diagrams, but what was most noteworthy was the Profession Scroll.
The ordinary pirates had nothing drop from them; all the loot came from the captain, doctor, and fighters of the Black Saber Pirate Group.
The Decomposition Skill was much more powerful than Chen Qing had imagined, and maybe it had other functions to be discovered.
After acquiring the Medical Skill, Chen Qing quickly learned it and then started to treat her own injuries.
If one wants to survive in the vast sea, it is always good to learn a bit of everything.
After treating her wounds, Chen Qing began to sort out the spoils of her victory against the pirate group.
Apart from those Skill Books, Chen Qing had one more significant gain.
A ship assessed as E-rank, Green Quality.
This ship was far better than Chen Qing's triangle sail ship, whether in size, attack power, defense strength, or load capacity, it was stronger in every aspect.
Just as Chen Qing's triangle sail had been damaged by the cannon fire, maybe she could switch to a new ship?
Chen Qing looked at the large ship across from her in silence.
Maybe there was an even better option?
Selling it at auction seemed like a good decision as well.
