The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Guess Who I Am?

Ji You entered the battlefield with a bit of apprehension. After being harshly taught a lesson by ’Xiaoqing,’ who she mistook for a harmless sheep, Ji You dared not take it lightly. As soon as the battle started, she tensed up, ready to give it her all.

However—

The anticipated gunfire did not come.

”Another one?” The voice of ’Dominate the Universe’ from the other side was slightly deep, with a hint of surprise.

Ji You: ”???”

Another one?

What does he mean by another one?

Before Ji You could ponder further, the cannon of Dominate the Universe was already aiming at her.

Dominate the Universe: ”I never mind having more coming to their deaths; the more, the better.” His tone could barely conceal his excitement — the thrill of imminent decapitation of an enemy.

Ji You was vigilant. As soon as she noticed the cannon aiming at her, her legs bent slightly, her toes tipped, and her entire mech was poised, ready to flee at any moment—

Boom—

Ji You instantly left the ground.

The shot fired and missed.

Dominate the Universe: ”Huh?”

At the same time, excitement flashed in his eyes.

You see, there weren’t many who could dodge his deadly lock-on, and this silly one riding an antique mech, had certainly exceeded his expectations. His expression shifted from a joking sarcasm to seriousness.

A sweat broke out on Ji You’s forehead:

My goodness~

That shot was terrifying, as fast as lightning. The accuracy of his shooting was horrifying enough to send chills down one’s spine. If not for Ji You’s fear of death and her strong sense of crisis that led her to dodge, she might not have escaped it.

Ji You raised her hand and wiped off her sweat fiercely:

The opponents she chose, none of them are simple.

Dominate the Universe?

This is no silly sheep, but a fierce wolf.

What kind of garbage judgement did she have? After this match, she would go and book a vision correction surgery in the medical clinic.

She wasn’t joking; she was serious.

Because—

She was really screwed over.

The adorable Xiaoqing turned out to be a big bad wolf.

The dominating Dominate the Universe, a fierce wolf.

Ji You’s lips curled into a bitter smile. Seeing that his first shot missed, Dominate the Universe didn’t fire another but instead, raised his eyebrows, pondering as he stared in Ji You’s direction.

Ji You didn’t make any rash moves either. The two of them stood apart, each on one side, creating a standoff.

Audience:

”Fight, fight, fight!”

”Why are they just standing there? Are they waiting to sit in a row and eat fruits?”

”This one’s called Rag Queen? That’s hilarious, pretty self-aware, huh.”

”Stupid people every year, especially this year.”

”Speaking of which, how many people have brought antique mechs to the competition today? Are there a hundred yet?”

”More! I heard they all died particularly miserably.”

”Blindly following trends without considering their own capability.”

”I heard some idiots tried to emulate the Lucky Goose, betting uniquely on antique mechs, and ended up losing their underwear.”

”I’m dying of laughter! Do these idiots go out without their brains?”

”By the way, did that self-destructing silly boss come online to compete today?”

”I didn’t see, her ID is too hard to remember. I heard that many people didn’t follow her at that time, so I don’t know her exact ID number.”

The audience was chatting when someone suddenly said, ”Hey! Look at the match we are watching, that Rag Queen, doesn’t she look like the silly boss who self-destructs? Both have explosive red hair and a voluptuous figure!”

Someone immediately scoffed, ”Come on, lots of dummies copy her face, copy her look, but they can’t mimic her vibe... My Self-Destruction silly boss comes with sound effects and a blower the moment she appears.”

After a round of elimination, the audience confirmed it wasn’t her and started to openly ridicule:

”Come on, place your bets! Place your bets!”

”Bet on whom?”

”Of course, on Dominate the Universe! I’ve been following this guy’s matches for a while now, he’s very strong, especially his spiritual power is super high, I bet it’s S-level, and he’s especially good at long-range attacks, not weak in close combat either.”

”Alright! I’ll place my bet too.”

”Hey! Isn’t anyone betting on Rag Queen?”

”With such a terrible name, she brings bad luck just by showing up, why bet on her? I bet she won’t last more than 10 seconds.”

”2 seconds! That’s giving her too much credit.”

...

Ji You was not paying attention to the audience; at this moment, she was pondering a question: How to break the current situation?

This person was undoubtedly strong.

On her side, whether in terms of personal strength or the mech she was piloting, there were no advantages. Dominate the Universe’s mech was Wind Wing, known for its speed. Competing in speed with him was clearly a no-win situation.

Moreover—

This person’s sniping capability was very powerful, and his spiritual power must be formidable, which meant his synchronization with the mech was terrifyingly high.

So—

What could Ji You do?

As the thought lingered, suddenly, a Particle Cannon shot towards Ji You’s head again.

So fast!

Knowing she couldn’t dodge it, Ji You made a quick decision and activated her only Protective Shield.

Crack, crack...

It was the sound of the Protective Shield shattering. Now that her only means of protection was gone, another hit would undoubtedly be fatal.

Audience: ”A one-shot memorable scene with her knockout! Bring it on—”

Dominate the Universe seemed to hear the audience, and at this moment, he raised his hand and waved around.

Audience: ”Hurry! Waiting for the points to cash in.”

At that moment—

Ji You suddenly leaped up, charging straight towards the mech, Wind Wing. This act of ’a mantis trying to stop a chariot’ was something she had used many times, whether it was against Xianting Huailuo, the previous opponent, or Dominate the Universe, it was utterly ridiculous to them.

Dominate the Universe pushed the mech forward not retreating but advancing, and at the same time, a Protective Shield popped up, effortlessly neutralizing the impact from the antique mech. The Protective Shield of the Wind Wing wasn’t like that of the antique mech, which could only be used once. Moreover, it had ample energy reserves, so there was no need to worry about energy consumption.

Ji You’s eyes were fierce, unconcerned whether her impact caused any damage to the enemy, she abruptly dove down, ramming fiercely once more.

Dominate the Universe: ”???”

Audience: ”???”

What is this silly goose trying to do?

If she keeps crashing like this, her antique mech will self-disintegrate without Dominate the Universe lifting a finger. Why is the antique mech ridiculed by many as a rag mech? Because mechs have been evolving for so many years, whether it’s the materials, energy, or main control system... all are of the lowest level.

Could it be?

She’s planning a Self-Destruction act?

Dominate the Universe put away his mockery, activated the highest-level shield without giving any gap, and drew out his cannon, no longer willing to delay even a moment—

Just then, Ji You suddenly made another unexpected move; taking advantage of Dominate the Universe’s focus on attacking, she leaped up and directly hugged the ’brain’ of Wind Wing.

This scene—

How to describe it?

It’s like when a girlfriend suddenly covers your eyes from behind, playfully asking, ”Guess who I am?”
