The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Things You Rarely See

According to common sense, Shen Changqing thought that the plan he and his classmates designed couldn’t possibly go wrong. The only reason would be that student Ji You with badge number 4444 was too buggy! Everything happening to her simply defies common sense.

So——

What could it be?

Shen Changqing really wanted to know.

As soon as Shen Changqing raised his question, the students around them all stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at Ji You curiously.

Ji You was a bit puzzled and asked, ”Is staying conscious that weird? I don’t feel faint at all.”

What?

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Not feeling faint at all?

Are you kidding?

Yue Qiguang, still rubbing his still-aching head, heard Ji You’s brazen statement and couldn’t help but sneer, ”Heh... Even daddy here wouldn’t dare say he felt no faintness, and you, a Double E weakling?”

Ji You didn’t respond, but Chu Jiaojiao glanced at him and bluntly pointed out, ”You didn’t just not faint, you completely passed out.” If it weren’t for Teacher Mu Jianling’s humane aid, you would still be lying in the infirmary. How can you brag so soon after that?

Yue Qiguang opened his mouth, choked for a moment, then stubbornly said, ”But daddy endured the attack of thousands of cannon fires for 1 minute!”

Chu Jiaojiao spread her hands, ”But you fainted.”

Yue Qiguang, exasperated, said, ”You this...”

Chu Jiaojiao clenched her fists, ”Want to fight? Bring it on!”

Yue Qiguang, rubbing his aching head and sore muscles, faced with the mental shock from thousands of cannon mouths, which isn’t something you recover from in a few minutes, thought twice and begrudgingly said, ”Chu Jiaojiao, you bully only because I’m injured! If you dare, let’s have a one-on-one fight tomorrow!”

”Heh~ Yue Qiguang, you’re nothing but a trash talker!” Chu Jiaojiao gestured with her finger, ”One-on-one it is!”

As the two bickered back and forth, sharp and loud, they almost shifted the focus of everyone present. But Shen Changqing ignored them and kept his gaze fixed on Ji You, persistently asking, ”Ji You, can you explain how you managed to stay conscious?”

The question was asked again.

It seems that Shen Changqing really was persistent.

Ji You thought for a moment and earnestly asked, ”Shen Changqing, what do you mean by staying conscious?”

Shen Changqing said, ”Usually, when we pilot Mechas, we connect to the Mechas using our spiritual power. If the Mecha is attacked and damaged severely, it also poses a significant test to our spiritual power. Given the intensity of the attack just now, your spiritual power must have taken a heavy blow, which would directly reduce the compatibility with the Mecha. In severe cases, like what happened to Yue Qiguang with badge number 2222 earlier, it would lead to a complete disconnection from the Mecha. So, I think it’s impossible for you to stay conscious.”

Ji You suddenly understood.

So that’s how it is.

But——

But——

She didn’t feel injured at all throughout the process.

Escaping, running, counterattacking... Every action, she felt her spiritual power load wasn’t significant. If it weren’t for bad luck being hit by Shen Changqing’s cannon fire, she might not have failed at all.

Ji You honestly said, ”Maybe my Small Mecha doesn’t demand much from spiritual power, so I didn’t feel like it was difficult to pilot it. After getting injured, I only felt a slight sting in my head, and it got better quickly. Actually, I didn’t experience any of the headaches or fainting you guys mentioned at all.”

What she said was true.

The students: ”...”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Ji You looked at Shen Changqing with some regret and said, ”To be honest, I was careless just now. I misjudged the landing spot, which is why you were able to hit me by sheer luck. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for you to hit me.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Shen Changqing rarely explained himself but then felt that to speak such words might seem like he was praising himself, which made him somewhat embarrassed. With a slight blush on his face, he said, ”It was not luck that I hit you. It’s through precise analysis and judgment that I predicted your most likely landing spot, all based on data analysis. The mistake now, however, is due to my incomplete understanding of you. I should obtain more data about you...”

”Ah? So, you want to get to know me?” Ji You’s eyes twinkled, and she chuckled, ”Then let me tell you, what I hate most is low-level nutrient solution, and what I love to eat most is the cafeteria’s braised pork ribs rice—”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Ji You laughed, ”If possible, I think I could eat at least two servings by myself.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Taking a deep breath, Shen Changqing then said, ”Ji You, I think you misunderstood me. I want to understand your various data, not these... personal food preferences, likes, and so on...”

”Oh...” Ji You drew out her words, ”Then it seems we’ve talked ourselves to a dead end, goodbye! We might never meet again!”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Ji You waved her hand and swiftly continued with her training.

Yue Qiyuan, who had been framed and knocked out by Ji You, similarly to his twin brother, was briefly treated before returning to the training field. He patted Shen Changqing on the shoulder and said, ”Student Shen Changqing, I think number 4444 is kind of unlucky, you’ll need to get used to it.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

”Sigh~”

Sighing, Yue Qiyuan shook his head and slowly walked away, saying, ”Birds of a feather flock together...”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Really now?

It seems like only they, the brothers, were the ones who got brutally beaten, I’ve never been thrashed by number 4444.

But—

Suddenly, the unprovoked animosity at the drill ground appeared before his eyes.

The expression on Shen Changqing’s face stiffened momentarily. He shook his head vigorously to clear his thoughts, and then got back to training.

As a result of adding 1 hour of training—no Combat Department students got natural food. The entire cafeteria was filled with first-year Combat Department students grimly munching on nutrient solutions:

Sitting in rows with bitter faces, they blamed each other while feeling extremely annoyed.

Chu Jiaojiao even snapped angrily, ”It’s all because of you idiots that I can’t get a proper meal.”

Yue Qiyuan frowned tightly and said, ”From now on, whoever dares to delay my mealtime will regret being born!”

Ji You, pretending to share their resentment, loudly said, ”Right! It’s always some idiot causing trouble, not just for one, but for a whole group!” Saying so, she meaningfully glanced at Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan...

Everyone: ”...”

Truly a bizarre sight to behold—

When it comes to twisting the truth, who can compete with Ji You when she steps up?

Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan shared a glance and silently munched on their nutrient solutions, suddenly feeling that it was getting more and more unpalatable.
