The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Bragging Combo Meal

Chapter 358

Admitting your own foul mouth is truly a rare sight.

With such thick skin, arguing with her would only be seeking your own frustration, right?

He Bi decided to handle things professionally and started dishing out food.

Shaking the spoon.

Again, shaking the spoon.

A few seconds later—

Ji You was holding her own tray, scattered with small chunks of meat, a bitter smile spreading across her face, she sighed faintly: ”Indeed, one must not offend a scumbag, the ancients never deceive me.”

He Bi’s forehead twitched with a popping vein: ”The ancients said? Which ancients are you talking about? Please clarify, classmate.”

This ancient person—

Clearly, was her herself, but could she say it?

Absolutely not.

Ji You grinned, chuckled, and said: ”I was just talking nonsense, Senior don’t mind it.”

With that, she picked up her tray, ready to scamper off.

He Bi said: ”Wait a second.”

Ji You’s steps halted:

Hmm?

Don’t tell me scumbag He Bi is plotting revenge by suddenly jacking up the price on me?

For a moment, Ji You felt a bit cowardly, she shrank her neck and whispered softly: ”Senior, I’ve paid already.”

He Bi: ”...”

Taking a deep breath, He Bi barely suppressed the impulse to hit someone and then—he stretched out his hand, took a plate from the side counter, and handed it to Ji You, saying: ”Here, take this.”

Ji You: ”???”

She looked down, and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

Heavens!

Tendons, hooves, liver, lungs, skin, stomach, nose... all these cow parts, if some bored person wanted, they could assemble an entire cow from it.

It’s just—

She had no idea what Senior He Bi meant by this.

Ji You stared with wide eyes: ”Senior???”

He Bi said indifferently: ”Bullshitter + Thick-skinned combo meal, suits you, it’s on me.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Huh?

Are you kidding me?

He Bi declared: ”Take it and get lost, no charge.”

Ji You reached out but hesitated slightly: ”Really... really free?”

He Bi waved his hand: ”If you don’t want it, get lost.”

With those words, fearing He Bi might change his mind, Ji You grabbed the plate of offal faster than anything, ”Thank you, Senior, you’re really amazing today, sky-high handsome!”

He Bi: ”Hmm~”

Ji You: ”But... why only offal, and no steak? No brisket?”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi cursed: ”You pauper, what steak, what brisket, hope it doesn’t kill you. Now get lost quickly, don’t hold up my work.”

Joyfully holding two plates, Ji You dashed away.

Gosh!

Who would have thought that scumbag He Bi could actually be so generous one day, this plate of offal, although not even three pounds, was at least worth 5000 credit points.

credit points!

Absolutely incredible.

Ji You couldn’t believe she got this from Senior He Bi.

But, even though Senior He Bi has a sharp tongue, most of the time not even spitting out a single ivory from a dog’s mouth, he was actually pretty decent to Ji You. She knew that Senior He Bi’s gimmick of making a ’Bullshitter + Thick-skinned’ combo meal, while seemingly mocking what she said in the cafeteria as bragging and overestimating herself, was actually a way of encouraging her.

Ah!

If only Senior He Bi hadn’t been so subtle, and straight up gave her a few pounds of braised pork ribs or something, that would have been even better.

Ji·Greedy·You thought silently to herself.

Then—

She found a dining table, set down the beef offal platter and braised pork ribs rice, picked up her chopsticks, ready to eat. She dared not eat slowly, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang and the rest of the bunch were lurking behind her like tigers eyeing their prey.

As expected—

In no time, the several empty seats around Ji You were all taken.

Sheng Qingyan didn’t wait for Ji You to invite him; quite unceremoniously he reached out with his chopsticks, picked out his favorite beef tripe and tendon from the beef offal platter, and stuffed them into his bowl.

Ji You’s eyelid twitched, she held back and made no comment.

Next—

Shen Changqing was the second one to reach out with his chopsticks, and in the blink of an eye, without being picky, he scraped everything, seven or eight kinds of items, onto his plate, piling it up in no time.

After doing all this, Shen Changqing seemed to feel a little overboard, his face flushed slightly, and he said in a low voice, ”I’ll just have a little.”

—Is that a little?

—Are you having vision problems?

—Is your ability to calculate flawed?

Ji You’s lips quivered, she held back and still said nothing.

Following that, Chu Jiaojiao picked up with her chopsticks, and wow, beef skin, beef hooves, beef tripe, beef tendon... everything in large amounts. Her pick was even more than what Sheng Qingyan had carefully selected just now...

Ji You pursed her lips, unable to hold back any longer, she asked, ”What kind of skill is this? Can it be taught?”

Chu Jiaojiao laughed, ”Chu Family’s secret, never to be disclosed.”

Ji You: ”...”

While Ji You talked with Chu Jiaojiao, on the other side, Yue Qiyuan and Yue Qiguang, the two brothers, had already impolitely reached out with their chopsticks. Yue Qiyuan was more reserved, just that his speed of using the chopsticks was fast.

Yue Qiguang was almost about to just lift the plate of beef offal and pour it into his own bowl—

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, with trembling hands, exclaimed, ”Enough already, hey, at least leave me some!”

Then—

Everyone was somewhat obedient, each leaving her only one piece of each item.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath and cursed, ”Look at you guys... one by one, looking all proper, but in reality, reincarnated from starving ghosts. Aren’t you freshmen supposed to be influential figures? Can’t you care a little bit about your image?”

Yue Qiguang cursed, ”Can image be eaten?”

Yue Qiyuan followed, ”It’s not as good as a plate of beef offal.”

Shen Changqing murmured, ”I don’t care.”

Chu Jiaojiao giggled, ”I only care about classmate Ji You’s image.”

Ji You: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan didn’t even bother with this comment and just buried his head in eating.

Ji You was speechless.

After thinking for a moment, she started to eat madly.

For a while, the sound of eating heartily filled the dining table, not a single bit of noise was heard.

After the meal.

Sheng Qingyan was the first to clean up his plate and said, ”I’m full now, off I go.”

The others also stood up one after another, indicating they were satisfied and ready to leave.

In the blink of an eye, they were all gone without a trace, leaving Ji You to leisurely put the last bite of rice into her mouth, chew for a bit, then pick up her plate and head to return it—

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, and a few other classmates who often hung out together didn’t ask Ji You a single thing about her public challenge to the Material Department, it seemed as though they had all forgotten about it.

But—

Ji You knew they weren’t indifferent or unconcerned.

Indeed—

Just as Ji You put her plate into the return station, she heard the message notification sound. Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, almost at the same time, sent the exact same message:

[I’ll be there to support you at the Material Department’s competition in 3 days.]
