The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Congratulations on Gaining a Son

Chapter 185

Don’t be fooled by Ji You’s walking style, wobbly and shaky, like an old lady barely keeping alive, she actually still had spare energy while using her spiritual power to control the Mecha’s limbs and torso balance.

Yes.

She retained spare energy.

Why keep spare energy?

Because Ji You always felt that though the way Shen Changqing used was a bit stupid, with his strong spiritual power, he should have been able to get the Mecha to finish the course steadily, but he still failed.

Where did the problem lie?

—An inexplicable evil wind out of nowhere.

Of course, it’s not to say that there is no wind in the universe; storms are pretty frequent in space. So, theoretically, the sudden appearance of this evil wind makes sense.

But—

Why did it appear just when Shen Changqing was about to succeed?

There must be a demon where things are abnormal!

At that moment, Ji You turned her eyes to Teacher Mu Jianling, but Teacher Mu’s gaze stayed focused on the Light Computer, looking engrossed in a melodramatic show, not seeming like someone who would interfere...

Heh~

The less suspicious, the more suspicious!

Ji You just stubborn on blaming Teacher Mu.

So—

She had to guard against Teacher Mu playing tricks!

Struggling to move?

Feeling near death?

Taking a breath three times with every step?

Illusion.

All illusions.

Whether Mu Jianling was fooled, Ji You wasn’t sure, but the students around her shook their heads, wiped sweat, clenched their teeth, tensed their fists, almost wishing they could help Ji You finish walking.

”Hey! When do you think Ji You, student number 4444, will fail?”

”I feel tired just watching her walk till now.”

”Why is it that although she’s walking so difficultly and painfully, I still feel her movements reveal a strong creepiness?”

”Weakly speaking, I... I feel the same way.”

”Have you seen her actions? With every step she takes, she hesitates, and also turns her head around... Is she imitating a monkey stealing peaches? Even monkeys aren’t as creepy as her.”

”Ah! Why do you just see her creepiness? Didn’t you notice that she has already walked 900 meters?”

”Gosh—”

”It’s true.”

”Only 100 meters left!”

”Will she—be the first person to succeed in the challenge?”

”Maybe... maybe...”

”Just her? Absolutely impossible, right?”

”Ah! If she really succeeds, I’ll never call her useless again! I’ll call her dad!”

This declaration made the speaker immediately receive a collective awed silence:

Such an honest person!

But isn’t this sacrifice a bit too much?

The one who spoke was a boy, and he immediately regretted his words, trying to laugh it off: ”Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue! I’ll call her boss!”

”I’ve remembered what you just said.”

”Me too.”

”Wrote it down in my little notebook.”

”If Ji You succeeds, I’ll congratulate her for winning a new son.”

”Yes, yes, yes...”

”Really looking forward to Ji You’s success!”

Suddenly, everyone stopped bothering whether Ji You was creepy or not; they cared more about whether she could succeed in the challenge, not only to save everyone from the torment of melodramatic plots but also to congratulate her on gaining a new addition, joyously becoming a ’dad’!

In the end—

Enjoy the drama, the bigger the better.

Then—

In the entire training field.

Tense.

Anxious.

Worried.

...

Various chaotic feelings filled the students’ hearts.

Only 100 meters left, it’s neither long nor short. Ji You tensed her face, firmly steadying her steps, always prepared for any unexpected occurrences.

Suddenly——

She felt an extremely faint breeze coming from behind, so faint that if it weren’t for Ji You’s sharp spiritual power, she could have almost missed it. Her spirit instantly tensed up to a Level 12 alert.

Almost in a flash, Ji You, without a word, and her Mecha simultaneously dropped to the ground——

Ji You’s sudden fall made the surrounding students, who were continuously chattering, all stare wide-eyed: ”!!!”

”Is that a kneel down?”

”Is it over just like that?”

”Is she defeated?”

”This defeat came so unexpectedly! How should I even describe it?”

”I was about to congratulate her on getting a son, I had even prepared the red envelope.”

”My red envelope won’t be taken out now——”

At that moment, the male student who mistakenly wanted to acknowledge Ji You as dad also breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: Goodness—thank goodness! This is a blessing from heaven!

Then—

”Hey!”

”Wait!”

”Look at Ji You’s legs.”

Following their line of sight, everyone noticed that while Ji You had fallen prone, the legs of her Small Mecha were still firmly on the straight line, what did this mean? It meant that she could continue walking once she stood up again.

Everyone suddenly laughed:

”Yo! Seems like I can’t keep my red envelope anymore.”

”Add one, add one.”

”Xuzhou, your dad fell down, aren’t you going to check on him? You unfilial son!”

”Xuzhou, go help your dad get up.”

”Xuzhou——”

This Xuzhou, a tall and robust boy with a rough appearance and unrestrained behavior, was now completely out of mood, his face darkened.

What is digging your own grave?

This is it.

What is divine retribution for a loose tongue?

This is it.

What is getting caught in your own trap?

This is it.

Ji You actually heard some discordant sounds, but where could she care about that now? She lay prone, unmoving.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

It’s like we’re settling down here for the night, not getting up at all.

Students: ”???”

”What is she doing?”

”Is there money on the ground?”

”Is there a Soul Device?”

”Are there minerals?”

Not only were the students baffled, but Mu Jianling also had a stern face, unable to continue watching the drama, she stood up and scolded: ”Are you showing off your ground-lying posture?”

”Alright, everyone come and watch...”

”From now on, use this as the standard for crawling like a dog.”

Ji You: ”...”

The surroundings burst into laughter.

Glancing at Mu Jianling’s expression, Ji You was filled with melancholy. Had she been overly cautious just now? Did the teacher really not intend to play tricks?

If that were true—

That would be embarrassing.

She had just made a fool of herself.

As Ji You was hesitating, she suddenly heard Mu Jianling threatening: ”Get up now, or I’ll cancel your qualification!”

Ji You didn’t dare to hesitate anymore, immediately stood up, dusting off her butt, ready to continue—

Just at that moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly struck, Ji You’s expression changed:

Ahhhh!!!

There are such cunning, shameless teachers in this world!

Detestable!

It’s truly detestable.
