The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Not Playing Fair

Rabbit shed.

Hundreds of rabbits, hopping up and down incessantly; Ji You had tried half the day but still couldn’t manage them. When she took a glance over at Lin Lele’s side, the people and rabbits were in perfect harmony. Ji You couldn’t hold back anymore and roared into the Spiritual World: ”Whoever dares to make another racket, I’m docking your rations for a month.”

In an instant—

Six Strands fell silent as cicadas in winter.

Then—

Ji You found that the rabbits around her were still trembling, a few of them even started kicking up their legs and convulsing...

Ji You got anxious, ”What’s going on?”

If the rabbits died, wouldn’t she have to compensate with money?

Heaven knows, she was just here to clean.

Heaven knows, she is just a humble cleaner.

...

No way—

Seeing the little rabbits about to kick the bucket, Ji You hurriedly left the rabbit shed. In her panic, she was somewhat at her wit’s end and messaged her friends in the group chat: [Help, how to give emergency aid to dying rabbits?]

The message was sent, and within two seconds.

Yue Qiyuan: [Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?]

Yue Qiguang: [Set up for barbecue?]

Chu Jiaojiao: [Spicy dry-fried?]

Sheng Qingyan: [Why make it so complicated? Just send them to the canteen and be done with it.]

Shen Changqing: [You could ask Dr. Luo for help.]

The more Ji You read, the darker her face got, until she saw Shen Changqing’s reply and felt it was slightly more reasonable. Indeed, among everyone, only Shen Changqing, the honest guy, seemed vaguely reliable.

Vaguely.

Because—

Shen Changqing: [But Dr. Luo isn’t a vet, probably can’t rescue them, so you might as well report directly to the canteen.]

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s face turned completely dark.

But still, Ji You held back her irritation with these vexing people and sent a very humble message: [@everyone, what do you all think of me? I’ve been a good bro, right? I... I have something I want to...]

In an instant—

Yue Qiguang: [Don’t know who that is.]

Yue Qiyuan: [Who’s this?]

Sheng Qingyan: [No idea.]

Chu Jiaojiao: [Vaguely remember... her face is really pretty.]

Shen Changqing: [Cough... I’ve got a match to go to.]

Ji You: ”...”

In an instant, everyone had run off without a trace.

Ji You: [Don’t run! I’m not making you help me clean the rabbit shed, I’ve got some big gossip I want to spill!]

No one.

Dead silence...

Ji You waited a minute, but nobody replied. Her smile stiffened for a few seconds before she stamped her foot hard and said, ”I really have major gossip to tell you all, we have a deposed Crown Prince coming to our school ahhh...”

Before Ji You could send out this message, the rabbit shed’s management robot issued an alarm prompt: [Ji You, your cleaning task for today has not been completed. Please continue your efforts. If you exceed the allotted time, you will receive a punishment of an extra day.]

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You glared at the robot, irritably said, ”Nowadays, even robots can’t be trusted.”

Robot: ”Ji You, please watch your language, otherwise, I will complain to the Robot Association about your malicious defamation of me.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath to quell her anger and mumbled, ”Can’t afford to provoke...better scoot off.”

But regarding the fear the rabbits felt toward her, Ji You thought it over and decided it was still better to ask someone else, like Dr. Luo, Aunt Zhang, or Teacher Mu... After thinking it through, Aunt Zhang was clearly unreliable.

What about Teacher Mu?

Too scary, Ji You didn’t dare.

So, Ji You called Dr. Luo first and explained the situation.

When Dr. Luo heard it, his eyes brightened, ”You’re saying the rabbits are afraid of you?”

Ji You nodded vigorously, ”Yes! They act as if I’m going to eat them, all scared out of their wits.”

Dr. Luo asked, ”Do you want to eat them?”

Ji You was somewhat speechless, ”Teacher, it’s not really fair of you to ask that. To be honest, when I first saw them, I even planned out where to bury their bones.”

Dr. Luo: ”...”

Dr. Luo chastised, ”Hold back those improper remarks. Logically speaking, with your current B-level spiritual power, if you don’t intentionally release your power, ordinary people can’t feel it. Even if small animals are more sensitive, they shouldn’t feel threatened by you, unless...” He paused briefly then continued, ”Thinking it over, it must be due to your Mutated Spiritual Power.”

At this point, Dr. Luo laughed, ”Wait a second, I’ll send an assistant robot over to record some data, which can be included in the research of your spiritual power later. By the way, since being near the rabbits activates your spiritual power to such a degree, I’ll talk to your teacher. From now on, you’ll be responsible for cleaning the rabbit shed every day.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You glared, ”Dr. Luo, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable?” Teacher Mu Jianling initially punished her for a month, and then due to another incident added one more month. Ji You could accept that; it was still a fixed-term sentence. But now in Dr. Luo’s hands, it magically became a life sentence...

Ji You was on the brink of tears.

Dr. Luo said with a smile, ”No pain, no gain. Ji You, I believe in you.”

Ji You: ”...”

After listening to Dr. Luo for so long, not only did he not offer a constructive suggestion, he even dragged her into the endless pit of cleaning the rabbit shed indefinitely?

A few seconds after hanging up the communication with Dr. Luo, Mu Jianling suddenly sent a message: [I have received Dr. Luo’s suggestion. After class, you are assigned to clean the rabbit shed for half an hour.]

Ji You covered her eyes, her hands trembling...

She wanted to cry...

But there were no tears...

Then.

Just when Ji You was about to ask Aunt Zhang how to communicate with the rabbits, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye. A few of the rabbits, which were trembling all over as if they were about to expire, were now lively and hopping around, nibbling on green vegetables and carrots; and moreover, they were eating natural green vegetables and natural carrots...

Ji You: ”...”

Good grief...

Nowadays, even rabbits could win an Oscar Little Golden Man.

Ji You on the other hand, tried hard half the day to rein in her spiritual power, but these rabbits seemed to have singled her out. As soon as they saw Ji You approach, they acted up in various ways, resulting in Ji You struggling mightily to barely manage to complete the cleaning task...

What about Lin Lele?

Lin Lele’s spiritual power and physical strength were actually not low, but she was just not interested in attending the Military Academy. Moreover, she attended as a self-paid student, so she just came in every day to idle around. As a result, her true capabilities were not up to par. She could stand amidst the rabbits and none of them would notice her, which made her cleaning task extremely easy. After cleaning her assigned area, she immediately left everything and promptly departed, leaving Ji You to struggle alone in haste.

The Crown Prince, who had abdicated voluntarily from the Galaxy Empire and was now Prince Ji, actually came to Lanyue Star, and even chose Lanyue Star Military Academy—the news was sensational. Lin Lele was, after all, just an eighteen-year-old girl, with the nature of a young girl who loved to join in the excitement. As soon as she left the rabbit shed, she couldn’t even bother to change her clothes, and immediately spread the news to a few of her friends. From one to ten, ten to a hundred...

In less than a moment, the entire Lanyue Star Military School was aware.
