The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 520: 520 Watching the Show

Ji You withdrew her hand and found herself staring straight into Liu Fufeng’s bright eyes. Both: ”...”

Their gazes met, and they both fell silent for a moment...

Ji You felt a twinge in her heart and then heard Liu Fufeng say, ”I was just passing by.”

Ji You: ”...”

Liu Fufeng asked, ”Need help?”

With a stiff smile, Ji You replied, ”How could you help?”

Liu Fufeng pondered seriously and then suggested, ”Take a photo for evidence and file a complaint with the Robot Management Association against it?”

Ji You: ”...”

Gratefully, Ji You said, ”Thanks, onlooker, but please step aside.”

Liu Fufeng: ”Sure.”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Fufeng stepped aside and continued jogging...

Throughout, Liu Fufeng did not glance sideways.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You scratched her head, mumbling to herself, ”Is it just my imagination, or did this guy come here on purpose to laugh at me? Or what?”

During the short time Liu Fufeng was close by, Ji You could feel a slight spiritual fluctuation in the active Spiritual Network around her; the fluctuation did not cause any sense of crisis nor was it anything special... so, Ji You didn’t pay it much attention at the time.

Looking at Liu Fufeng’s slender and lean-back figure, Ji You grabbed her hair: Eh? That spiritual power fluctuation from just now, what exactly did it feel like? Why can’t I seem to remember it all of a sudden, nor describe it?

At this moment—

The Little Robot suddenly said, ”Ji You, are we going to continue fighting?”

Ji You shook off the fleeting thought she couldn’t understand, glared at the unscathed Little Robot with gritted teeth, and declared, ”Yeah!”

The Little Robot replied in a flat electronic voice, ”However, I must clarify that my fight with you is approved by the Robot Management Association and is legal and compliant, so all complaints are invalid. The officer in charge is Teacher Mu Jianling, and if you have any objections, you may raise them with the officer.”

Ji You: ”...”

Somewhat speechless, Ji You said, ”You cunning Little Robot, you want me to raise objections with Teacher Mu, are you trying to kill me? Stop talking nonsense and let’s fight! Fight!”

The Little Robot said, ”Please be ready.”

Whoosh—

After a faint ping sound, the Little Robot, which had been standing still, disappeared from its spot in the blink of an eye. By the time Ji You realized, it was already behind her, about to smash its fist down on her head. Ji You bent over and narrowly avoided the attack.

The Little Robot immediately switched tactics, changing its punch to a kick—

Ji You’s eyes rolled quickly, feigning a hit about to fall to the ground, Little Robot: ”A trick?”

It hesitated for a slight moment...

With a sudden movement, Ji You grabbed one of the Little Robot’s legs, clenched her teeth, and exerted all her energies, flinging it powerfully...

Clang—

The Little Robot crashed onto the floor, Ji You raised her hand and slammed down hard!

Whoosh—

The Little Robot had vanished from the spot, making Ji You’s strike miss. A gust of wind passed behind her, and she was kicked in the rear, falling to the ground once again.

Ji You pounded her chest and stamped her feet in frustration: ”Damn it! You’re just taking advantage of me not being as fast as you!”

The Little Robot offered in a flat tone: ”I am just making full use of my advantages.”

Ji You gritted her teeth: ”Again!”

Fell down.

”Again!”

Fell again.

”Again!”

”Again!”

”Again!”

...

Countless attacks, countless failures, countless beatings, Ji You felt so sore all over her body it was unbearable, and moreover, she felt her entire face was so swollen it couldn’t even be looked at, guessing even her eyes had swelled into slits...

During this time, Liu Fufeng passed by countless times, glanced at Ji You countless times, and then continued jogging.

Besides Liu Fufeng, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and others also came to watch Ji You become a laughingstock, and then, after Yue Qiyuan excessively taunted her a few times, he received indiscriminate attacks from Ji You and the Little Robot and was beaten until his face swelled up like a pig, which made Yue Qiyuan and the others no longer come to watch.

The bell signaling the end of the class rang, and Mu Jianling announced the end of the training—

Ji You collapsed on the ground, panting heavily: ”Just a little bit more! It’s just missing a little bit more.”

Stuck at the critical point of a D-level Physical Strength, she was still unable to break through, which made Ji You a bit unwilling. She wanted to keep fighting, but the Little Robot began to act finicky, saying, ”Sorry, I refuse, this is not within my working hours.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath: ”You, a robot, have working hours too?”

The Little Robot remained silent and just shut down.

Ji You: ”...”

At this moment, Mu Jianling, who had turned off the bloody soap drama, walked over and said, ”Do you know why you can’t break through?”

Ji You’s face was bitter as she wailed, ”Teacher... I don’t know.”

She really didn’t know.

Mu Jianling looked at her coldly and snorted, ”Because you always want to win with skill, but a real expert can handle ten sessions with just strength. I’ve said it before, the real battlefield, real combat—it all requires your full strength each time. Especially combat with a Star Beast, there’s no room for you to hold back.”

Ji You pursed her lips and said, ”But... but Teacher, doesn’t skill also count as part of strength?”

Mu Jianling glanced at her sideways: ”You can’t even beat a weak Little Robot, and you still think you can win with skill?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You with a pained face: ”That hurts.”

Mu Jianling didn’t even look at Ji You, whose face was wrinkled like a pig’s, and suddenly turned to Yue Qiguang, ”Yue Qiguang, you try it.”

Yue Qiguang was bouncing about, about to rush towards the cafeteria, but upon hearing Teacher Mu’s words, he ran over immediately.

The Little Robot restarted.

The battle was ready to commence.

Yue Qiguang kept jogging, nimbly dodging the Little Robot’s attempts to probe, and then suddenly threw a powerful punch!

Bang!

The Little Robot clattered onto the ground—

Crack!

At the same time, Ji You heard the sound of the Little Robot’s arm breaking, she stared wide-eyed at the Little Robot that fell to the ground and couldn’t get up: ”You... you’re kidding, right?”

The alarm of the Little Robot’s internal system went off: [Warning, Master, my main control system is damaged and needs immediate repair, I will stop working after 10 seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...]

Ji You: ”...”

Yue Qiguang withdrew his fist and looked at Ji You with slight disdain, then burst out laughing, ”Idiot, dumbstruck, aren’t you? But Dad’s move here, you won’t be able to learn.”

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling waved her hand dismissively at Yue Qiguang, ”Alright, you can get lost.”

Yue Qiguang immediately turned and fawned over Teacher Mu saying, ”Hey! Teacher, then I’m leaving, if you have any orders, I’ll be at your beck and call.”

Saying this, afraid that Teacher Mu might ask him for repair and maintenance costs for the Little Robot, Yue Qiguang ran away so fast it was like lightning, slipping out the door in less than a second.

Mu Jianling folded her arms in front of Ji You and said, ”See?”

Ji You was speechless and choked up.

Mu Jianling said, ”Do you think the gap between you and Yue Qiguang is just a little bit?”

Ji You had no words to respond.

Mu Jianling folded her arms at the elbows and said coldly, ”With such weak Physical Strength, stop thinking about saving effort. You’ll have to keep practicing the Fierce Tiger Body Forging Technique I gave you, as well as using Dr. Luo’s Physical Strength Medicine Bath. As for the barrier between D‑level and C‑level, once you reach the Peak value, it will naturally break. If you feel you’ve hit the critical point and can’t break through, it’s only because you haven’t reached your Peak value yet.”

Ji You nodded vigorously: ”Teacher, I understand.”
