The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Brilliant!

”...Big... big shots... I... I have a suggestion.” After Ji You uttered these words, she felt as if her throat had started to leak air. She struggled to hold on, stopping herself from collapsing to the ground after finishing her sentence.

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan: ”???”

Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan: ”???”

All four were plunged into confusion and perplexity: Was that sudden roar that just erupted really emitted by Ji You, who is now limp as mud, extremely weak, and the very picture of vulnerability?

number?

Ji You — is she really a Double E failure?

Surveillance room.

The teachers: ”Eh?”

”That’s strange.”

”Just now...”

”This kid is a bit odd.”

They all became somewhat puzzled; Principal Hong snorted and said, ”This kid has an anomaly in her spiritual power. After the exercise is over, you go check her spiritual power carefully.”

”Oh...”

”So that’s the reason.”

”No wonder.”

Everyone suddenly understood.

Principal Hong glanced around and couldn’t help saying: ”I’m disappointed in you, teachers responsible for imparting knowledge and resolving doubts! You don’t even have that bit of discernment! If it wasn’t for the abnormality in her spiritual power, do you think she could have outrun Yue Qiguang, who possesses an S-rank Physical Strength?”

When Yue Qiguang was chasing Ji You, he didn’t hold back at all, yet every time he was about to catch her, his actions would inexplicably slow down for a few seconds. It was precisely these brief pauses that repeatedly allowed Ji You the opportunity to escape.

The reason?

Principal Hong was initially unclear, but after watching several times, he understood the reason. It was actually Ji You’s Consciousness, which upon sensing extreme danger, caused a subconscious burst of spiritual power that momentarily disrupted Yue Qiguang’s mind, creating a brief bout of confusion.

And —

The fact that Ji You could still catch her breath in the intense duel between Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang, and didn’t really ”kick the bucket,” shows that her endurance is quite remarkable.

After listening to Principal Hong’s words, a male teacher laughed and said, ”I thought this kid was just lucky.”

”Me too.”

”Haha, me as well.”

”...”

Listening, Principal Hong’s face gradually darkened as he said, ”People born with an abnormality in spiritual power are not non-existent, but such cases are too rare. Out of tens of millions, there may not even be one. For this child, the abnormality may be a talent, an opportunity, but it could also be a shackle, a restriction... In any case, give her a thorough check-up after the exercise. Don’t waste this child’s talent, and don’t let her continue to squander time. Only by finding out what the anomaly is can we know the right approach.”

Although Principal Hong is strict, and as tough in appearance as he is at heart, he is very meticulous when it comes to his students.

The teachers all nodded in agreement.

Principal Hong snorted, ”Don’t just think about spurring the students to progress all the time. The professional capability of our school’s teaching team cannot remain stagnant forever; it should also be improved!”

The teachers: ”...”

That criticism is somewhat wide-reaching.

But Principal Hong’s words were not offending everyone unfairly, because — the anomaly in spiritual power like that of student number 4444, Ji You, is actually very rare throughout the entire Alliance, let alone the whole of human society. Looking back through human history, such individuals are estimated to be fewer than the number of fingers on two hands. Among them, the most famous, and the most recent, is Admiral Bai Ji! Admiral Bai Ji, before the age of 40, established numerous notable military achievements and firmly took the position of Sixth Corps Commander, leveraging his extraordinary spiritual power. However, information about Admiral Bai Ji has not been disclosed to the public by the Alliance.

Principal Hong knows about it because he has a private relationship with Admiral Bai Ji.

The teachers didn’t notice Ji You’s anomaly at first because such cases are so rare; some teachers had not even heard of such a thing, so they also felt somewhat wronged.

Principal Hong said solemnly, ”You only need to know about this matter; there’s no need to announce it publicly or proclaim it everywhere.”

The teachers’ expressions tightened, and they all said in unison, ”Yes.”

**

Everything that was happening in the monitoring room was unknown to Ji You and the four people in front of her. After she finished speaking, she successfully fooled the four lunatics into pausing. Ji You’s eyes darted around, pondering how to start her next move.

Silence.

For a moment.

Yue Qiguang was already getting impatient and shouted, ”Kid, cut the crap! Offer up your head quickly, and Daddy might grant you a swift end.”

Chu Jiaojiao scoffed, ”Did I agree?”

Yue Qiguang was about to speak, foreseeing another bout of chaos about to erupt, Ji You hurriedly spoke up to interrupt them, ”Big shots... before you guys start fighting over my head, please allow me to ask you a question. How much do you think my head is worth in points?”

How many points?

How could it still be worth any points?

There were a total of 5,000 heads in the practice field, all equal, and even if some heads were encased in gold, they would only be worth 1 point!

There were no exceptions.

”Hmph!” Yue Qiguang gritted his teeth and said, ”Spit it out if you have something to say! No more bullshit.”

Ji You chuckled mischievously and said, ”Aww! You might say my head is only worth 1 point! Or you can say it’s worth 100 points! 500 points! Even 1000 or as many as 5000 points!”

”Hiss~”

”That’s quite some confidence.”

”You do have quite the self-esteem, huh?” Yue Qiguang didn’t give Ji You any face at all and rolled his eyes at Ji You, ”Do you think your head is adorned with a Soul Device or something?”

Ji You ignored Yue Qiguang, the brainless big oaf, and turned instead to Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan. As for the Spicy Eye Little Cutie Sheng Qingyan? This fellow, having seen the end of the battle, had long since sat on the grass, wailing about his injuries, oh how painful it was...

Therefore, there was no need to bother with him.

To save her life, to avoid further suffering, Ji You resorted to all sorts of tricks. Now that she had the opportunity, she felt confident that she could even bamboozle a robot into hobbling off...

Ji You stared at Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan, and solemnly said, ”I dare to make such a claim because I’m indeed worth that price! Tell me, among the four of you here, how many enemies do you have?”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...2? 3?”

”Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?” Yue Qiyuan glanced at Chu Jiaojiao and then said, ”...I don’t have any enemies. At most, there have been 10, or 8! But they’re all dead now.”

Yue Qiguang arrogantly said, ”...Why all this nonsense? Daddy could have enemies all over the world, so what? In the end, they’re just souls under my knife!”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Ew, have you guys finished? I wanna go to beddy-byes...”

”...” Ji You glared at the Spicy Eye Little Cutie and looked at the other three who were about to get into a new round of arguments, immediately getting to the point, ”Chu Jiaojiao has 3 enemies! Yue Qiyuan has 0! Yue Qiguang—can’t count.”

”And I, Ji You—”

”Have 4999 enemies!”

Wait a second...

What’s with her proud, smug tone?

The four: ”...”

”What does this mean?” Ji You said with a straight face, looking at the four people earnestly, ”This means that including yourselves, everyone wants to kill me! Everyone wants my head! Now, it’d be easy to kill me, sure. But—if you keep me alive and use me as bait, you could lure everyone in the practice field over one by one and kill them off!”

Brilliant!

Could it really work like that?

The eyes of Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan all lit up at the same time!
