The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Damn Punishment

Ji You laughed.

As long as she didn’t meddle in other people’s business, she didn’t ask for much else—even if Lin Lele changed her opinion of her or not.

Then came a chaotic cleaning session.

The cleaning process was distressingly bad, so bad that it was best left unsaid. Ji You and her group, including Lin Lele, a total of 7 people, took more than an hour to completely clean up and finally got the go-ahead from the stable management robot.

After taking off their dirty coats and removing their masks and gloves, Sheng Qingyan gasped for air and said, ”I’ve never been so humiliated in my life.”

Yue Qiyuan, fanning himself with the back of his hand, said, ”What’s despairing is that we have to endure this kind of day for another month.”

Yue Qiguang, irritable, clutching his head, continuously cursed, ”Dad regrets this, Dad really shouldn’t have meddled.”

Shen Changqing didn’t make a sound.

Chu Jiaojiao grimaced and said, ”I’m suffocating... How are we going to last this month.”

Ji You: ”...”

Looking at everyone, Ji You pursed her lips and said, ”Well... I have an inconvenient request.”

Sheng Qingyan said, ”I can’t hear you.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Yue Qiyuan followed, ”Let’s go, let’s go.”

Afraid of being left behind, Yue Qiguang quickly passed them both, muttering, ”Dad doesn’t want to stay here for a second.”

Shen Changqing looked at Ji You, seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn’t speak and followed them.

Chu Jiaojiao widened her eyes at Ji You, chuckled and said, ”Ji You, you know... regardless of how messed up your face is now, as long as you’re willing to mend it, you’ll always be the top beauty in my heart.”

Then,

After these words, in the blink of an eye, they were far away...

Ji You: ”...”

”Hey! Wait a minute!” Ji You yelled, ”You haven’t heard what I want to say yet!”

The five of them turned back in unison: ”We don’t want to listen!”

As soon as their words fell, they were gone in an instant.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You touched her chin and muttered, ”It’s just asking for your help to clean the rabbit shed together. Was there a need to run that fast?”

Nearby, Lin Lele, who was also tasked with cleaning the rabbit shed, just crossed her arms, watching the scene with a stern face and uttered not a word.

Seeing Lin Lele’s cold demeanor, clearly unwilling to chat more with her, Ji You naturally didn’t want to warm up to someone who gave her the cold shoulder, so she sighed deeply and headed toward the rabbit shed.

The rabbit shed was near the stable, about a 20-minute walk, but if Ji You ran at full speed, she could reach it in just a few minutes, and she really didn’t want to waste time, so she ran straight there.

Lin Lele, lagging behind, walked slowly.

Rabbit shed?

Isn’t it just a place to raise rabbits?

Cute, gentle, adorable rabbits were surely better than those wild, runaway horses, right?

As Ji You arrived at the rabbit shed, she actually held great expectations, but as soon as she stepped inside, a stench hit her face, causing Ji You to retreat repeatedly...

Next to her, the electronic voice of the rabbit shed management robot calmly urged, ”Ji You, please start cleaning immediately.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You pinched her nose and asked, ”Is this the rabbit shed? Are you sure? Why does it smell so awful?”

Compared to this overpowering stench, the previous stable smelled practically mild.

The robot didn’t respond to her question but pointed at some of the rabbits and started explaining precautions, ”Here, here, and here, when you clean, remember not to disturb them. These rabbits are about to give birth. If something goes wrong, Principal Hong will be very angry.”

Ji You’s face darkened.

The robot continued, ”Here, here, and here, these are newly born baby rabbits. They are very fragile and mustn’t be disturbed, or it will affect their development. If they don’t grow well, Principal Hong will get very angry.”

Ji You pursed her lips.

The robot took a few steps forward, pointed at a bunch of big, round, and plump gray rabbits, and said, ”These are all male rabbits.”

Ji You thought to herself, Male rabbits, surely they don’t need special attention, right?

The next second.

The robot rigidly said, ”These are breeding rabbits, the entire prosperity of the rabbit shed relies on them diligently sowing their seeds. Therefore, you must not disturb or hurt them. Otherwise, Principal Hong will show you what true terror means.”

Ji You with a stiff smile, ”So—you’re telling me, which rabbits here can I mess with?”

The robot shook its head: ”None of them at all.”

Ji You: ”...”

The robot stepped forward a few meters, raised its hand towards a cluster of white rabbits, and said, ”This breed was recently introduced from the Agricultural College next door, they are currently adapting to their new home and are particularly wary of strangers, so you should not disturb them easily.”

Ji You, tugging at the corner of her mouth, no longer wanted to listen to the robot’s incessant chatter.

Yet, the robot tirelessly continued to educate Ji You on various precautions, overwhelming her to the point where, amidst her inner turmoil, she couldn’t help but wonder: ”Was I really supposed to clean the rabbit shed today? Or was I here to learn rabbit breeding techniques?”

After a while.

Only then did the robot finish its introduction, ”Student Ji You, start cleaning.”

Ji You grabbed a broom, at a loss of where to begin.

Here—

Were all big shots!

All were big shots who couldn’t be messed with or avoided.

Next to her, Lin Lele, who had stepped into the rabbit shed a few steps after Ji You, instantly frowned and pinched her nose, ”What kind of hellish place is this?”

Ji You: ”A place where big shots live.”

Lin Lele: ”...”

The robot’s emotionless electronic voice said, ”You have 30 seconds left to prepare, beyond that, for each second delayed, an additional day will be added to your cleaning time.”

Ji You: ”... So harsh!”

Not daring to delay, Ji You grabbed the broom, put her mask and gloves back on, and first chose the compartment where the baby rabbits were to start cleaning.

She reasoned that the rabbit mothers carrying babies were certainly not to be messed with.

Those breeding rabbits, each like an important figure, related to the strength of the rabbit group, were also temporarily untouchable.

As for those newly introduced white rabbits, all looking gentle and meek, but who knew if there was any bomb hidden among them?

So—

Ji You decided to practice with the baby rabbits first.

Then, she carefully stepped into the rabbit shed, but as soon as her foot touched the ground, the little rabbits scurried around in panic like a disturbed nest...

The robot: ”Alert! Alert! Alert! The baby rabbits are severely frightened, please stop your dangerous actions, Student Ji You.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was suffocating.

Ji You withdrew into herself.

Ji You became rigid.

...

But the robot clearly didn’t want Ji You to idle, timely issuing a warning: ”Please take immediate remedial action, otherwise your punishment duration will be extended—”

Ji You: ”...”
