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

```

If Moana were still alive, no one would dare touch this little wolf.

Unfortunately, this renowned Great Pirate died last month.

Her pirate group, having lost their leader, was then besieged and exterminated by other powers!

The treasure and power left behind by the Great Pirate Moana could only be inherited by her child.

Aside from the little wolf, Moana's other offspring were either killed or controlled by hostile forces.

The little wolf had been adrift on Slave Island since childhood, a rare pearl of Canghai dug out with great difficulty by Moana's subordinates.

All the people sent to retrieve the little wolf were killed, and the sole survivor had to promise a hefty reward to entrust the little wolf to the Black Saber Pirate Group.

They hoped to have the little wolf delivered to Sapphire Island, where Moana's close friend from before her death resided.

Unfortunately, these pirates were insatiable wolves who, despite facing a curse, were willing to maximize the little wolf's value.

Of course, these pirates ultimately forfeited their own lives, their souls returning to the sea.

"Can you take me to Sapphire Island?"

The little wolf laid out all she knew and asked once more.

"What's your name?"

Chen Qing suddenly asked an unrelated question, catching the little wolf off guard.

"Daliya, they said my name is Daliya."

The little wolf's eyes brightened as she immediately responded.

"Go rest, Daliya. From tomorrow on, I will take you to Sapphire Island."

A slight smile appeared on Chen Qing's face as she patted Daliya's head and left the kitchen.

Sapphire Island is the territory of the indigenous residents of this world; surely, there will be many things she needs there.

According to Daliya, Sapphire Island is an unregulated neutral zone, making it suitable as the first island for her to land on.

"Thank you so much! I will definitely repay you!"

Daliya pursed her lips and loudly called out to Chen Qing's departing figure.

Chen Qing waved her hand dismissively, not taking Daliya's words to heart.

Rather than repayment, how this child will survive is the real issue.

Chen Qing could only help by delivering Daliya to Sapphire Island; Daliya would have to find her own way from there.

Daliya watched Chen Qing's retreating figure, her eyes sharp with an unknowable train of thought.

Chen Qing returned to her own room, where her private channel and friends list messages had already exploded.

There weren't many people in her private channel; even with a few middlemen, there were only a bit over thirty.

Most of them were brought in by Qing Xian and Chen Qing herself.

Most middlemen were looking to take a cut for themselves; if their big clients were brought into the fray, they would stand to earn much less money.

The private channel already had many offers. In a time where most survivors were using rafts, a triangle sail was undeniably tempting.

These people also tried to probe into how Chen Qing acquired an extra ship, but Chen Qing acted as if she saw nothing.

If there were no issue with Daliya, the source of the pirate ship wouldn't matter much to reveal—it could even intimidate the other survivors.

But now with Daliya in the picture, Chen Qing had to think twice.

[Chen Qing: Priority trade for the triangle sail with mechanical props or blueprints.]

[Chen Qing: (Profession Scroll·Sailor) prioritized for a trade with Mechanic Profession Scroll, or tools like a map pointer.]

[He Congrong: I always feel like you're not playing the same game as us.]

Even the Transcendent Gao Yue couldn't help but marvel at Chen Qing's good fortune.

The majority of survivors in Chen Qing's private channel were actually Transcendents, although everyone was unaware of this fact for now.

```

Perhaps it was the principle of like attracting like at work.

[Wei Lan: I have a green quality disposable pointer.]

[Zhao Fuli: Give it up, sister. You really think a one-time item can trade for Brother Qing's Profession Scroll.]

[Zhao Fuli: Brother Qing, take a look at my (Adventurer Map·White)]

[Wei Lan: Yours is still white quality, and you dare to criticize me.]

[Gao Yue: I say you two, this is a Profession Scroll we're talking about, and you're trying to fob people off with these goods?]

Whether it's the triangle sail or the Profession Scroll, both are items desperately needed by the survivors.

They both greatly increase the chance of a survivor's continued existence.

A Profession Scroll had appeared in the trade channel before, that of a musician. However, it was somewhat embarrassing, having a price yet no market.

Compared to a musician, a sailor was more useful on the high seas.

After sending those two messages, Chen Qing remained silent, waiting for an appropriate trade to come up.

She wasn't inactive, though. Upon defeating the Black Saber Pirate Group, the system awarded her three C-grade Mechanical Diagrams.

[Mechanical Creation·Blast Battle Rabbit], [Mechanical Creation·Water Healing Butterfly], [Mechanical Creation·Super Shield Whale].

Attack, medical, and defense—all three types were covered. C-grade diagrams generally fall between blue to purple quality.

However, Chen Qing currently lacked sufficient materials and strength to craft these.

But on setting foot on Sapphire Island, she could attempt to purchase the raw materials.

The most vital core material for crafting these three Mechanical Creatures was the Mechanical Heart and another thing known as Iron Vein.

Of course, the Power Core was equally indispensable.

The Energy Cores in her warehouse were not powerful enough to sustain the energy demanded by these three Mechanical Creations.

After noting down the required materials, Chen Qing shifted her attention back to the chat channel.

The private channel at that moment was as lively as a marketplace.

Survivors invited to the private channel all possessed considerable fortunes; even without trading with Chen Qing, they could exchange a lot of items they needed with each other.

Of course, the hottest trade item was still Chen Qing's triangle sail.

It might even surpass the Profession Scroll in demand.

The triangle sail was essentially a house, a home.

The Chinese people have an extraordinary obsession with houses and land.

However, it was only the third day into the game; although some survivors were wealthy, very few had anything mechanical related.

But that didn't stump the clever survivors.

If they didn't have it themselves, they'd find other survivors to trade with or pool together resources with friends and family.

Not everyone was an orphan like Chen Qing.

A triangle sail could accommodate at least over twenty people, and many survivors with blood ties were placed in the same or nearby areas.

Three days was enough time for them to get in touch.

By the time Chen Qing had assembled three fishing net machines, someone in the private channel had already made a high bid with thirteen Mechanical Diagrams.

The diagram grades ranged from D to G, and were not priced low.

Chen Qing did not immediately agree; instead, she carefully reviewed the types, functions, and difficulties in gathering materials for these diagrams.

Regrettably, the utility of these diagrams might not even match the three E-grade diagrams Chen Qing initially obtained.

However, another survivor made an offer that did catch Chen Qing's eye.
