The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Before the Team Competition

Ji You had no idea about the ins and outs of the staff canteen or the scheming plans of a few unscrupulous teachers. If she did, she would have been enraged all over again.

Of course, even without knowing Teacher Mu Jianling’s sinister plot, she would never comply with their wishes.

119,381 credit points spent on a lesson was already enough for Ji You!

Once was enough, how could she keep suffering losses?

As a future big shot, Ji You only allowed herself to make a mistake once. Therefore, she cleaned the rabbit shed even more diligently, putting in an enormous amount of effort. Normally, she could only release spiritual power at a threshold of five, but in less than half an hour, Ji You forcefully reduced it to three!

Under great pressure, progress is indeed the quickest.

Afterward.

Ji You noticed the differences between the school’s rabbits and the batch raised by Liu Fufeng. Although their fur and size were similar, Ji You still spotted some differences.

First, temperament was the most obvious difference.

The school’s rabbits were noticeably more docile.

Liu Fufeng’s rabbits? They were aggressively belligerent, weak yet always trying to challenge Ji You’s authority. Despite three rabbits having died, of Liu Fufeng’s remaining 197 rabbits, many were Iron Fools, repeatedly provoking Ji You. She feared she couldn’t control her strength and didn’t dare retaliate, so she adopted the policy of neither striking back nor intimidating, leaving them be completely.

Then—

Ji You’s face was clawed into a mess by the rabbits.

Secondly, the physical strength of the school’s rabbits was clearly better than Liu Fufeng’s. Liu Fufeng’s rabbits, just like their master, were excessively frail. Ji You refrained from scaring or attacking them, yet these rabbits even fought amongst themselves, injuring each other. Ji You was utterly speechless about this.

If the rabbits injured each other while fighting and casualties resulted, blaming it on Ji You would truly be more wrongful than the case of Dou E.

Therefore, Ji You couldn’t completely ignore them; she had to intervene when necessary to stop them from fighting. Here, she had to use spiritual power. Fortunately, Ji You’s refined control over spiritual power significantly improved during this tough process. With a threshold of three, she would never exceed 3.1, and if it was 3.2, it would never be below 3.1.

...

To gain a deeper understanding of these rabbits’ characteristics, Ji You even phoned Aunt Zhang Si, but got no useful information. She didn’t know if Aunt Zhang Si did this intentionally.

Ji You had no choice but to browse the Star Network and delve into the Agricultural College’s forum. She read a vast amount of information related to the habits of these rabbits and finally picked up some tricks for taking care of them.

Ah!

In short—

Creating a Soul Device by herself was not as tough as this.

Finally, today’s cleaning duty was over.

Once done, Ji You left the rabbit shed and was heading back to her dorm when she bumped into Chu Jiaojiao and others. They were sitting in a milk tea shop on the commercial street, drinking cold beverages, and juices...

Chu Jiaojiao raised her hand and shouted, ”Classmate Ji You, come have a drink.”

Ji You promptly asked, ”Who’s paying?”

Yue Qiguang rolled his eyes: ”Dig into your own pocket.”

Ji You turned away: ”Goodbye.”

Everyone: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan said disdainfully, ”I told you, this poor dead wouldn’t spend money on milk tea.”

Seeing Ji You walking further away, Chu Jiaojiao hurriedly said, ”Classmate Ji You, come back! Come back! I’ll pay.”

The next second.

Ji You was sitting opposite Chu Jiaojiao, smilingly asking, ”Really?”

Yue Qiyuan looked doubtful and asked, ”Since when did you become so fast?”

This hundred-meter distance was truly covered in the blink of an eye!

Ji You glanced at him sideways and said irritatedly, ”I train tirelessly day and night, I’m not just loafing around.”

Yue Qiyuan contemplated for a moment and said, ”Still, it’s too fast. According to your physical strength, you shouldn’t be able to achieve this level.”

Shen Changqing also said, ”Ji You, your physical strength has indeed improved very quickly recently.”

Ji You rolled his eyes and said, ”Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve taken on a debt of 500 million credit points just to improve my physical strength?”

Everyone shook their heads and said, ”We don’t believe.”

Ji You pursed his lips and said, ”Well, there you have it. Even if I speak the truth, you wouldn’t believe me.”

Everyone: ”...”

Then—

Everyone stared at Ji You’s bruised face for a long while. After hearing the cause and effect, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy. After sympathizing, they laughed anyway! Yue Qiguang slapped his thigh hard, laughing uproariously, ”So, you lost the money for the rabbits and didn’t even get to eat the rabbits?”

Ji You nodded gloomily.

Yue Qiguang laughed out loud, ”Fool! If I were you, I wouldn’t even ask Mu Jianling that old hag but just eat the rabbit meat first.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You gloomily asked, ”How can you eat a freshly dead rabbit?”

Yue Qiyuan smirked and said, ”You could immediately grill it over a fire, it’s not like you’ve never done that.”

Ji You glanced at the twin brothers sideways and said annoyed, ”How can I start a fire in the rabbit shed? Besides, it’s full of surveillance and robots guarding, would they let me grill the rabbits on site?”

”Pfft—” Everyone burst into unapologetic laughter once again.

Ji You held a cup of watermelon juice and took a fierce sip. Just when he was about to sip again, he found out the straw couldn’t suck anything up anymore—it was empty.

Ji You hurriedly asked, ”Jiaojiao, can I have another cup?”

Chu Jiaojiao looked at his bruised face, which despite being a mess, still carried a sense of confidence and ease, attractive indeed!

So, Chu Jiaojiao nodded, ”Sure.”

Ji You immediately beamed with joy, raising his hand, ”Another cup of watermelon juice.”

Soon, the milk tea shop’s intelligent system delivered the watermelon juice he wanted right in front of him—

Shen Changqing suddenly said, ”Let’s get back to business! For the team competition tomorrow, let’s first speculate on what the rules might be.”

Huh?

So this group gathered here to discuss how to tackle the team competition?

Ji You’s eyes subtly lit up.

Yue Qiguang was the first to say, ”What’s there to ponder about? The rules will naturally be announced tomorrow, and then we’ll see how to play depending on the situation! With so many of us, can’t we still win?”

”Cough...” Yue Qiyuan glanced at his not-so-smart brother and said, ”People who are not so bright should at least have the self-awareness to shut up on their own.”

Yue Qiguang’s eyelid twitched, ”What do you mean, Yue Qiyuan?”

Yue Qiyuan: ”Just what it sounds like.”

Seeing Yue Qiguang about to explode, Shen Changqing said, ”Let’s set aside the squabble between you brothers for now, for the team competition, it’s still better to think ahead about our tactics, better safe than sorry.”
