The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Storm-Style Face-Slapping

Yue Qiguang never expected Ji You to take action, of course—his inner pride and arrogance caused him to overlook whether Ji You would strike or not.

Ask yourself:

Would an elephant care about an ant’s behavior?

Obviously not.

So—

Yue Qiguang didn’t take Ji You seriously at all. He carelessly lifted his foot, aiming for the top of Ji You’s Small Mecha, but at that moment, the Small Mecha suddenly stretched out a leg. Yue Qiguang had already noticed her slight movement, but?

A Small Mecha?

Is it worth the trouble?

In the face of absolute power, there’s no need for any skill, just directly crush with brute force. Therefore, Yue Qiguang lifted his foot, intending to kick the Small Mecha down—

Suddenly—

Before his eyes, the Small Mecha vanished without a trace.

Through the Mecha’s electronic eyes, Yue Qiguang took a closer look and found that the Small Mecha had actually moved behind him. He was immediately surprised:

What’s going on?

How could this idiot No. 4444 possibly move so fast?

The body’s conditioned reflex allowed Yue Qiguang to shift quickly and he struck out with his foot, wanting to send the Small Mecha sprawling in disgrace.

But just at that moment, Ji You’s Small Mecha had already kicked out, striking Po Jun’s joint:

Crack~

Thud—

Po Jun lost its balance and tumbled. Without a word, Ji You seized the opportunity to leap up, jumping onto Po Jun’s head, and threw a punch!

Boom—

Yue Qiguang’s face turned black with rage in an instant.

However, what followed was a second punch.

The third punch!

The fourth punch!

The fifth punch!

...

Every punch targeted Po Jun’s vital spots. Although the Protective Shield blocked them, preventing fatal damage, the sheer force of the attacks was still enough to shake Yue Qiguang inside the cockpit, making it hard for him to sit steadily in his seat.

He was a Mecha rookie to begin with, and his driving skills were poor, having only just learned how to walk a few steps.

As for how to counterattack?

He didn’t know how.

Punching and kicking... These basic methods were ingrained in his bones. However, trying to use them in a Mecha was utterly impossible, as if he was blocked out the door, unable to control anything he wanted to do...

Hands and feet, they were no longer his own.

Ji You’s thorough beating completely bewildered Yue Qiguang. For a moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After fumbling around in a panic for a while, Yue Qiguang gradually regained his composure and thought that since he couldn’t attack his opponent, he should just throw her off and swiftly escape.

So—

Yue Qiguang violently shook his huge body, trying to shake off the little ant on his back, but—Ji You’s Small Mecha was very agile and not only did it not fall off, but it also extended the Crawling Claw in time and clung onto Po Jun’s huge head.

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

This doesn’t make sense.

Why is the Po Jun he’s piloting so clumsy, while this fool’s piloted Small Mecha is so nimble?

This is unscientific.

Ji You didn’t give Yue Qiguang time to think. She firmly clung onto Po Jun’s head, instantly lifted her foot, and fiercely kicked Po Jun’s forehead.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

...

The speed of the attack was so fast, and the frequency so high, it was astounding.

The students training nearby had gradually gathered around.

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Done for.

This time, the embarrassment was massive.

Under Ji You’s assault, Yue Qiguang was completely unable to fight back. He tried to swat the little bug off his head, but the damn bug was like an annoying fly, chased away only to return, chased again and back once more...

Inevitably unstoppable.

The surrounding students burst into laughter. Yue Qiguang, sitting in the cockpit, wished he could jump out of the mecha right then and beat Ji You up as he angrily declared, ”You idiot in Mecha #4444, dare to get out and face me one-on-one!”

Ji You suddenly stopped her assault, stared at Po Jun for a few seconds, shook her head and sighed, ”Ah~ It’s so uninteresting. Beating up such a big dumb guy who can’t fight back gives me no sense of achievement at all, it’s totally lame.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Ji You withdrew her Crawling Claw and leapt down from the big forehead of Po Jun.

Yue Qiguang’s eyes flickered for a moment, just as he raised the foot of his mecha, Ji You suddenly turned and delivered a beautiful spinning kick. Completely caught off guard, Yue Qiguang took a heavy fall.

Ji You gave a fierce kick to Po Jun’s big rear, dusted off her hands and said with a sigh, ”Oops, my eyes must’ve been blurry, I accidentally kicked you. Are you okay?”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

The students: ”...”

Yue Qiguang: ”Great, you idiot in Mecha #4444, you’ve successfully pissed me off! You’ve really done it now!”

Ji You dug at her ear, ”Huh? The wind’s too loud, I can’t hear you.”

Saying so, she piloted the Small Mecha, hopping and running away, with agility and freedom such that one couldn’t tell she was controlling a mecha—it was as if she herself was skipping and bouncing around.

Yue Qiguang was nearly livid.

What goes around comes around.

The taste of this—

Was indescribably exhilarating.

This time, Ji You had not only gotten her revenge but also thoroughly practiced her attack moves.

As it turned out, it wasn’t so hard.

And—

Ji You realized she had completed Mu Jianling’s set task in less than 20 minutes. She was instantly thrilled, hurriedly scuttling over to Mu Jianling, seeking praise and a possible reward.

Like a piece of Candy Beans or something, just one would do, no! Actually, ten would be good.

How could everything that happened in the training room possibly escape Mu Jianling’s attention? Watching Ji You, #4444, she felt both shocked and reassured, wondering if she had been pressing her too lightly.

Perhaps—there was still untapped potential to be exploded?

Ji You finished speaking, eagerly awaiting praise.

After hearing her out, Mu Jianling’s expression was faint, but she suddenly gestured towards the large screen, saying, ”Take a look for yourself.”

On the screen was the sight of Ji You having kicked a hole into the wall.

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling said, ”I treat everyone equally. If I’ve punished student Yue Qiguang with #2222, then I can’t overlook you, otherwise wouldn’t it be unfair? What do you think?”

Ji You wished she could turn into a bobblehead doll, vehemently shaking her head, ”Teacher, how can you compare the two? He did it on purpose, but I didn’t mean to.”

Mu Jianling coldly replied, ”The destructive result is the same.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath and countered, ”Even if we both damaged the walls of the training field, the scale of the damage is different. My Small Mecha is so small that a kick only made a small hole that could be fixed with just a bandage. But that idiot Yue Qiguang almost tore down an entire wall.”

”Oh—” Mu Jianling said slowly, ”In that case, let’s punish you with cleaning the training field for half a month then.”

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Bapi wasn’t just fond of skinning; she also had a heart of darkness.

Mu Jianling looked at Ji You’s frustrated face and suddenly smiled, saying, ”Of course, there is one way you can avoid the punishment.”
