The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Re-examining the Body

Cheng Yu revealed a naive smile, peering at Ji You’s expression, and said, ”Then, Master—what about the request I made to you earlier?”

Hmm?

A tailored Soul Device?

Right now, I can’t manage that...

Ji You said with a stern face: ”Not now, wait until I’ve completed a phased experiment.”

Cheng Yu quickly replied, ”I’m not in a hurry, I’ll patiently wait for the Master to finish her business before helping me.”

Ji You asked, ”Do you have any other requests?”

Does this mean to end the call?

After pondering for a bit, Cheng Yu hurriedly said, ”Master, are you in a rush? I can transfer the money to your account right now, what do you think?”

This chubby guy hastily showed an eagerness to please the Master.

Ji You couldn’t help but sigh to herself:

[He’s getting it.]

[This chubby guy has potential.]

The thought of asking the fatty to pay in advance had just crossed Ji You’s mind. But to maintain the Master’s demeanor, she hadn’t mentioned it, and unexpectedly, the chubby guy brought it up himself.

Oh my!

So clever.

Too clever.

If possible, she would indeed like to receive the payment in advance, then she could buy Butterfly Honey ahead of time to repair the Iron Plate. In that case—if the Iron Plate was restored, she might even be able to make a real Soul Device for Cheng Yu.

In this way—

I wouldn’t really be a scammer, would I?

While her heart was full of joy, Ji You’s tone remained indifferent: ”That’s fine.”

Cheng Yu was overjoyed: ”Then the account—”

After some thought, Ji You said, ”Transfer it to my store account. I’ll list two grass seeds for sale, set as a private sale, and then send you the link.” Doing this served two purposes: one was to enhance both parties’ credit points, the second was to hide her personal information.

After hearing this, Cheng Yu was even happier: ”Yes, I’ll do it right away.”

The Master didn’t give a personal account, but let him transfer the money to a public store account, what did this indicate? It showed she wasn’t a scammer, that ’Green Glaze Workshop’ was a store that had genuinely sold more than a dozen Soul Devices...

Hearing the Master say this, Cheng Yu’s doubts and unease dissipated by a large extent.

Then, Ji You listed 2 grass seeds and set them to private sale, sending the link to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu, in front of Ji You, swiftly transferred the money.

[Ding Dong—]

[System prompt, received transaction of 5 million credit points...]

Cheng Yu was very satisfied, and Ji You even more so.

The conversation ended, and after hanging up, Ji You immediately went on Star Network to buy 100 grams of low-level Butterfly Honey, another 100 grams of Intermediate Butterfly Honey, and 50 grams of High-grade Butterfly Honey...and just like that, 3.8 million of the 5 million were spent.

In less than a few minutes, only 1.2 million credit points were left in the account.

The cost was agonizingly painful for Ji You.

This money—

Was earned through her ’deceptive acts of performance art’.

Sigh!

Ill-gotten gains just don’t last.

However, the money had to be spent, there was no way around it. Because Ji You wanted to test out different qualities of Butterfly Honey on the Iron Plate to see what different effects each quality had.

A night without dreams.

The next day.

Ji You not only received the Butterfly Honey but also the training equipment she had purchased.

Looking at the pile of training equipment in the room, Ji You’s face lit up with a broad smile. She had struggled until now, and finally had her own training equipment. From now on—her strength would increase even faster.

This time, Ji You didn’t dare to be careless; she studied the instructions for using the various training equipment thoroughly before she started using it.

Of course, she wasn’t in a rush to exercise yet. She planned to test her current state of spiritual power and physical strength first.

The device for this test was a Repairing Chamber. After Ji You set the program, she lay down in it completely.

[Physical Strength examination in progress, please lie down and remain still.]

Ji You closed her eyes.

Immediately, dense instruments flashed beams of light, scanning over her entire body, even every strand of her hair.

Ding—

[Physical Strength examination completed, now beginning spiritual power threshold detection. Please be prepared—]

Immediately—

Ji You felt darkness before her eyes, as if there was nothing in her field of vision.

Physical examination only required checking the strength of each cell in the body, so one would just lie on the scanning device without moving. But spiritual power detection was different; it was very ethereal, just like how Ji You currently couldn’t see anything, feeling as though she was in a void space.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

...

Just when Ji You thought it was over, a bright light suddenly flashed before her eyes, and she instinctively chased after it. The light sped away faster and faster, about to disappear without a trace, but Ji You was quick, darting after it swiftly...

Just as the light was reduced to a mere tail and in her urgency, she stretched out her hand in a fierce grab but caught nothing.

Ding—

[Detection completed, please exit the chamber.]

Immediately after, the chamber door automatically opened. Ji You stepped out and rushed to check her examination results:

[After professional examination, your report is as follows:

Physical Strength: Level E

Spiritual Power Threshold: 98, Level F]

Ji You was very disappointed to see this. Her Physical Strength was the same as the original owner’s previous test results, but the small consolation was that her spiritual power had improved. The original owner’s maximum spiritual power threshold was 75, and now she had actually reached 98.

Just over 100, and it would be a rise to Level E.

This result was unexpected yet reasonable.

After setting aside the results, Ji You immediately took out the Butterfly Honey she had just received. Due to the expensive price of Butterfly Honey, its packaging was also impeccable, not a bit of weight or nutritional value leaked.

Ji You opened the package, starting with the Low-grade Butterfly Honey. It was a total of 100 grams, which she picked up and drank in one go without dividing it into doses.

After drinking, the sweet taste filled her mouth and spread...

Ji You stretched out her tongue, licking the corners of her lips, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Following that—

She closed her eyes, concentrating and waiting for the Iron Plate’s reaction.

Two minutes later, the previously indistinct Iron Plate in the depths of Ji You’s mind began to materialize little by little—

Success!

Ji You was very pleased, and as she was about to examine it closely—the Iron Plate, as if lacking the strength, vanished again.

Hm?

Was the enhancement effect of the Low-grade Butterfly Honey not sufficient?

Ji You opened her eyes and picked up the Mid-grade Butterfly Honey she had prepared earlier, again drinking it all in one go.

Adhering to the previous method, she continued to hold her breath and concentrate.

This time, the appearance of the Iron Plate was much faster; within less than a minute, the whole form materialized and Ji You hastily examined the Iron Plate. It looked the same as when it had briefly appeared before, covered in patches of rust.

But to Ji You’s immense relief, it did not disappear immediately but remained in her mind.

The effect of the Mid-grade, was it really this good?

Indeed—

There is a reason for the expensive to be expensive.

Next, Ji You did not delay any further, promptly drinking a bottle of High-quality Butterfly Honey in one gulp.

Since the Iron Plate didn’t disappear, its transformation happened directly before Ji You’s eyes; she saw the mottled rust fall off, piece by piece, vanishing—

Apart from this, what other changes were there?

Ji You was full of anticipation—
