The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Daddy’s Got Your Back

Xuzhou’s talent, in the talent-rich Lanyue Star Military Academy, is actually not outstanding. His Spiritual Level is B and his Physical Strength is A, which are not top-notch but above average. But—

Compared to Ji You’s Spiritual Power D and Physical Strength E, he still holds a significant advantage.

Yes, Ji You’s officially announced Spiritual Power has now been changed to Level D. This was strongly requested by her as she no longer wanted to hear the nickname ”Double E Loser”.

Hearing that Ji You accepted Xuzhou’s challenge, the students were actually quite shocked. This clearly isn’t a fair match.

A match?

How can they compete?

”We’ll fight in mechas!” Xuzhou exclaimed with wide eyes, loudly saying, ”For fairness, I can let you make three moves.”

Ji You shook her head: ”No need.”

Xuzhou: ”?????”

Ji You said, ”If I remember correctly, you’re not even steady when walking in your mecha, how can you let me?” Saying this, Ji You bounced vigorously a few times in her small mecha in front of everyone, and even did a split as a bonus.

Everyone: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao held her face, fangirling loudly: ”Ah, Ji You’s split is so cool! I want to learn too!”

Hearing this, Ji You’s legs went weak and she nearly couldn’t retract them—

But—

The surrounding students were still very shocked to see Ji You perform various movements so effortlessly:

This gravity field, it seems like it has no effect on Ji You at all.

What kind of monster is this? Everyone remembers that when she first entered, she fell just like everyone else. How much time has passed? She’s already completely adapted to the gravity field?

This—

Is it possible?

Could it be, Ji You’s real identity is actually some peculiar unknown creature?

Or, is the problem with the mecha?

Ji You retracted her split and immediately put on a serious face, looking towards Xuzhou, saying: ”Kid! You really don’t have any advantage against me now, are you sure you still want to let me make three moves?”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Xuzhou’s expression was complex, and faintly mixed with a bit of regret:

Blame his own big mouth!

It’s all trouble caused by a loose tongue!

Ji You said, ”In that case, I’ll let you make three moves!”

Xuzhou’s face darkened, he immediately said: ”No need! If I said I’ll let you make three moves, then I will! I never bully girls!”

Upon saying this, everyone around suddenly gasped.

Wait—

Does the combat department even differentiate between genders?

Why has nobody ever known this?

It must be said, after Xuzhou’s somewhat gentlemanly statement, the students around glanced at those humans whose physiological sex states ”female” but actual gender unknown, especially Chu Jiaojiao, who was the most focused on at the moment; all the boys suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment—

Really?

Are there really girls in the combat department?

Those gentle, soft, coquettishly sweet-talking girls, who speak softly and call boys ”brother”?

Then, everyone’s gaze turned toward Ji You, who was petite, slim-framed, and sweet-looking:

Tch~

In 1 second, just 1 second, all the boys shuddered collectively. Among them, Yue Qiguang shuddered the most exaggeratedly; he almost jumped to the ceiling, ”This thing is also a girl? These kinds of girls, dad would beat one on sight! If seen in pairs, beat each pair!”

Upon hearing this, the girls led by Chu Jiaojiao clenched their fists tightly, ”Yue Qiguang get down here! I am going to teach you how to be a human!”

At this moment, Mu Jianling, with hands behind his back, walked over: ”What are you all gathering here for? Is the simulation field for watching spectacles? Can run? Can jump? Can spin? All go back to training!”

The students instantly fell silent.

After a while, Yue Qiyuan quietly raised his hand, softly said: ”Teacher Mu, we came here to watch the match between Ji You and Xuzhou.”

So—

Can we please finish watching?

Missing this joke, we’d have to wait another year.

Mu Jianling’s eyes swept over Ji You and Xuzhou and said, ”If we’re going to compete, there need to be rules. The winner gets no prize, but the loser cleans the training field for a month. How about it? Do you two still want to compete?”

Ji You: ”...”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Is that the rule?

Such rules, I’d want to break every single one I see!

The protagonists hadn’t even spoken yet when the students around them began to jeer:

”Compete!”

”If you don’t, you’re a coward!”

”Of course, you should compete!”

”Whoever quits is a loser!”

...

The faces of Ji You and Xuzhou suddenly turned utterly dark.

Mu Jianling waved his hand grandly and declared, ”Compete! I’ll be overseeing to prevent any cheating.”

Xuzhou, already determined, immediately turned to Ji You and said, ”Ji You, as I said before, I’ll let you make three moves first!”

Ji You: ”Alright—”

If a naive guy insists on seeking his death, I might as well oblige him.

After all, this big fool looks dumb, but he’s actually polite enough to give way to a girl, much better than the likes of Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan—

So—

Ji You decided, when making her moves shortly, she’d give him a swift end.

As soon as the countdown stopped, Ji You activated her thrusters and charged towards Xuzhou instantly, bump—

The violent collision instantly sent Xuzhou flying out. As he barely managed to stabilize himself, Ji You kicked towards his chest, clang—

Xuzhou fell down again—

Ji You pulled out the cannon without any courtesy and immediately fired at Xuzhou—

Of course, the cannons loaded on the mechs in the training field were virtual Energy Cannons, which produced sparks but had no real lethal force.

After three moves, as Xuzhou barely stabilized himself and prepared to counterattack, he suddenly felt a giant cleaver hanging over his head. Startled and about to retreat, Ji You’s Small Mecha fiercely crashed into him—

This—

This is simply fearless!

What the heck is this strategy?

As Xuzhou got confused by Ji You’s unpredictable moves, he suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp, a choking sensation that he couldn’t describe engulfed him... Was this a Spiritual Attack—

Boom—

Xuzhou’s mech instantly fell and couldn’t get up.

It was too fast!

From the start to the finish, it took less than 10 seconds, as quick as a tornado.

A male student with Physique A and Spiritual Power B, who had an absolute advantage in talent, lost so quickly! And to Ji You, a far weaker opponent—

If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would believe what they’d seen, not even Teacher Mu Jianling could utter a word for a moment. But what she saw was different from what the students saw.

Silence.

Quiet.

The space was filled with an oppressive, deadly silence—

Breaking the silence were the footsteps of Ji You.

She suddenly walked towards Xuzhou, bent down, and helped him up from the ejected cockpit, gently patted his shoulder and sighed.

Everyone: ”...”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Xuzhou’s face looked like he had constipation for a hundred days without relief, stunned, stinky, and a little like crying...

Ji You reassured: ”There, there~ don’t cry—Daddy’s got you.”

Xuzhou: ”...”
