Chapter 361: Chapter 361

While Qian Qi continued to concoct the Water Breath Magic Liquid, the battleship was swiftly sailing toward the instance boss, and the closer it got to the boss’s location, the more numerous the High-level Sea Beasts became, and the attacks on the battleship grew more frequent.

The battle-induced tides caused the battleship to drift unpredictably with the sea, the giant vessel rocking in the wind and waves, causing Qian Qi, who was busy making Magic Potion in the cabin, to sway along with it.

"Oh my, this is really killing me, I’m about to puke." While mixing the potion by hand, Qian Qi couldn’t help but complain to the system, "Why doesn’t A-level Defense cure seasickness? Do you think it’s logical for an A-level Defender to get seasick? It’s downright disgraceful!"

[Seasickness is because of your vestibular development issues, what’s it got to do with defensive power? You sound as if you’re a skinny dog and A-level Defense could bulk you up into a mighty woman.] The system replied speechlessly.

OK, fine, I shouldn’t be so harsh.

She casually grabbed a handful of nearby Magic Plant Powder and mixed it into the glass bottle in her hand.

The pale blue liquid quickly darkened to an extremely rich indigo. Qian Qi picked up the glass bottle and took several large gulps, then let out an incredibly satisfied exhale, "Ah! It tastes awful!"

The system looked at Qian Qi with a complex expression, not understanding why, despite the terrible taste, her face was full of perverse excitement.

After downing the Water Breath Magic Liquid, Qian Qi dared to step out of the cabin to face the turbulent sea. Around the battleship’s deck stood many members of the Gong Family Army, clearing away Sea Beasts trying to approach the ship. Zuo Jing and Han Yali were nowhere to be seen, presumably on the battlefield at sea, while Sheng Qing stood on the lookout post, sweeping the sea beasts in the distance with a sniper rifle.

Qian Qi took out the Flying Live Broadcast Ball and began fulfilling the day’s broadcasting task.

Wherever she looked, some of the Gong Family Army were riding Flying Magical Beasts in the air, continually releasing Ice Skills to freeze the sea surface, providing a foothold for the battling Gong Family troops.

At the center of the battle, a giant ferocious Evil Demon Sea Shark was fighting with Gong Qiang and others. The water around it was magically split into two parts, and a fierce, towering sea wall came crashing down on them. Many whirlpools in the sea were swiftly sucking in the Gong Family Army, and some waterspouts even chased those in the air, intending to knock them down; the battle was indeed intense.

Underwater, many Gong Family troops were also combating small fry, getting battered around by the waves, some tossed into the air, others pushed far away, only able to struggle back with great effort.

One particularly lucky individual was flung directly onto the battleship and, seeing Qian Qi standing with her hands behind her back like a leader inspecting a rural site, she waved at him with a kind face and greeted, "Comrade~ Well done~"

That member of the Gong Family Army: ...

Thank you, comrade; it’s not that I’m overworked; it’s just my fate.

"Indeed, fighting at sea isn’t easy, way less efficient than on land," Qian Qi observed the battle in the distance, hugging the railing and roughly taking note of the sea beasts’ attacks and the Gong Family Army’s combat methods, "If I accidentally fell into the sea one day, it would be impossible to kill the boss amidst a group of sea beasts, wouldn’t it?"

[You must believe in yourself...] The system panel typed words in front of her.

"Oh?" Qian Qi’s eyes brightened, "Are you trying to say that I should believe in my ability to take down these sea beasts? Do you really have such confidence in me?"

[...Believe you can blow them away with a single toxic fart ＾＿＾.]

Qian Qi grabbed the system panel and directly swatted down a sea beast trying to climb up from below the battleship, "I also believe, with my hand in yours, we can shine together."

[...] Thanks, but I don’t want to shine with you.

The battle at sea continued, and Qian Qi diligently livestreamed their battle scenes, occasionally boasting about the Gong Family Army’s tenacity and indefatigability, as a sort of repayment for Gong Qiang’s "care" over the past period.

After all, she made quite a bit of money from Gong Qiang.

But soon, the audience in the livestream began to voice their doubts.

[--Speaking of which, Brother Dog, why aren’t you participating? Since entering this instance, apart from beast taming, you haven’t really done anything, right?]

[--If it were Brother Dog, I feel like the battle would end in three moves!] Thıs content belongs to novèlfire.net

[--Right~ Brother Dog, won’t you show us a trick? Just use your super powerful and cool skill, the Heaven-pouring Blood Blade!]

[--Exactly! Brother Dog, you shouldn’t slack off! Many people are waiting for you to save them! The fewer people die, the better!]

"Me, participate?" Qian Qi clung to the railing, not moving, her small feet dangling over the edge, and she sneered, "Forget it. A person’s energy is limited. I’m human, not God. Do you know how much I sacrificed to make the Water Breath Magic Liquid so the warriors can breathe underwater? You don’t know! You just hide behind the streams and babble, not even willing to click the big rocket in the bottom-right corner with your little hands!"

The livestream audience: ...

Hey, if you want tips, just say so. Why karaoke us!

Qian Qi didn’t care how these people perceived her. She even started to intensify her antics, yelling loudly, "I’m still just a kid! I haven’t even kissed my girlfriend, let alone bought a house, given a dowry, gotten married, or had kids! I haven’t even passed down my knowledge to the next generation. How can I exhaust myself to death in this instance?!"

"So, of course, it’s about work-life balance. Living to two hundred is key to maximizing my value! If you really care about me, you should let me rest more, send me money to buy goji berries, instead of urging a defenseless girl like me onto the battlefield!"

She grumbled, "Understood? Push me to work again, and I’ll strike, and you won’t see my streams anymore! You’ll never hear my Magic Plant interpretations! You can forget about appreciating my unparalleled beauty! I’ll even activate a full mute, and you won’t even be able to curse me!"

The livestream audience: ...

Okay, okay, we won’t push you, why the tantrum?

Darn it, never suffered such grievances. Other streamers sincerely persuade audiences to stay and watch, unlike Qian Qi, here the audience has to beg her with grandparental care, meticulously ensuring she streams daily as promised.

Ah... These days, it’s tough being an audience member!

Seeing the audience in the livestream had quieted down, Qian Qi finally nodded contentedly, leisurely dangling her small foot amid the surging waves.

She wasn’t going to end up like Su Ang, working herself to death all her life~

Unless she volunteers, no one can make her work overtime! No one! Nobody!
