The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Drawing Lots

Ji You and his group of 10 teams, after dashing for 50 kilometers and crossing over a low hill slope, were greeted by a large green meadow, open fields all around, and the hundred people exchanged puzzled glances upon this scene:

”Did we find the wrong place?”

Ji You shook his head: ”Absolutely impossible!” They had come according to the map’s instructions, how could they be wrong?

”Then...”

”Why is there nothing at all?”

”It’s over, looking at this green grass, I’ve got a bad feeling...”

”Cattle, sheep, horses... which one?”

...

Just as everyone was anxiously speculating, a rumbling noise came from the distance.

Following the direction of the noise, they saw a large lawn mower coming towards them, gathering the green grass into the machine as it passed.

This machine wasn’t big, but the area it covered was very wide...

Ji You was still in awe when suddenly—

Yue Qiguang was the first to shake his head in disappointment, saying, ”The farming methods on NY50 are too primitive, aren’t they? Humans still need to operate it?”

Zhang Ye immediately agreed: ”Right, have we come to some rural area? I haven’t seen such an old-fashioned harvester in ages.”

”Cough cough,” as a true country bumpkin, Ji You discreetly hid the astonishment on his face and said sternly, ”A bunch of rubes! Is it such a big deal just because the methods are a bit primitive? Since there’s someone here, I think we can ask them for some information.”

Beside him, Shen Changqing explained, ”NY50 is a planet that specializes in producing natural food; it’s not that they can’t use more convenient technology, but they choose more primitive farming and husbandry methods to maintain the naturalness of the ingredients.”

With this explanation, everyone was suddenly enlightened.

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, glanced at Yue Qiguang, Zhang Ye, and others, and said, ”A bunch of bumpkins.”

”Cough cough...”

Ji You waved his hands, saying, ”The lawnmower is here, let’s go up and ask about the situation.”

As he spoke, the floating lawn mower stopped right in front of Ji You and the group of students, and soon, a pair of straight, strong legs stepped down from the cockpit with a steady gait.

The person had a tall figure, but his face was very dark.

—It was the Black-faced Soldier, Han Zheng!

Ji You chuckled, eagerly running over and warmly greeted, ”Black-faced Soldier! So it’s you!”

Han Zheng’s steps faltered.

Then.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, Xuzhou, and others, crowded forward:

”Senior Brother Han Zheng!”

”Hello, senior brother!”

”Hello, Senior Brother Han Zheng!”

...

Han Zheng’s tense lips curved slightly: Good, only one person called him Black-faced Soldier!

Han Zheng nodded his head, acknowledging the enthusiastic juniors, then seriously said, ”I’m here to take you to your respective assigned areas.”

”Eh?” Ji You blinked inquisitively, ”We have different designated areas?”

She thought all 10 teams would act together.

Han Zheng nodded: ”There are 10 areas in total, each harboring different natural animals.”

The team leader for the two-two group, Yu Song, couldn’t help but ask, ”May I ask senior brother, do our 10 teams each take care of different animals? How is each team arranged?”

This question from Yu Song was one everyone was concerned about, so the scene quieted down for a moment.

Han Zheng said, ”Do you prefer to be randomly assigned, or to negotiate among yourselves?”

Negotiate amongst themselves?

That—no one wanted to raise cows, pigs, or chickens!

A few captains looked at each other, all seeing the same thought in the others’ eyes.

And then—

Everyone began to express their opinions, but no one could persuade the others.

The time couldn’t be delayed, so Han Zheng said, ”You guys draw lots!”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You was rubbing her hand, ready to make a big move, when beside her, Yue Qiguang frowned and said, ”You idiot, 4444, take it easy for daddy. If you dare draw pig farming, I’ll be the first to beat you to death!”

Ji You: ”...”

Suddenly, I felt a lot of pressure.

Sheng Qingyan was the second to open his mouth and said, ”I don’t want to raise chickens. The number one cutie of the Universe can’t lose their flowing hair. So, poor dead, show some spirit.”

Ji You: ”...”

One by one, why are there so many opinions? Ji You couldn’t help but twitch her lips, then saw Yue Qiyuan step forward seriously, stop in front of her, and say, ”4444, you can draw anything, just not cattle farming, understood?”

Ji You: ”...”

After Yue Qiyuan said this, Lou, Lance, Zhang Ye, Shen Changqing, and Chu Jiaojiao all looked over.

Lou, Lance, Zhang Ye, and Chu Jiaojiao together said, ”Exactly! Absolutely no cattle raising! Ji You, we beg you!”

Ji You: ”...”

Shen Changqing’s clear eyes were also staring intently at Ji You. After a second of silence, he said, ”I... I also don’t want to raise cattle.”

Rumor has it, those cows, love to kick you where it hurts!

But!!!

That’s just a rumor!

These guys!

”Cough cough...” Ji You felt a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t help but glare at Chu Jiaojiao, ”They are scared, and that’s understandable, but what on earth are you afraid of?”

Chu Jiaojiao held her unflustered chest as if scared and chuckled, ”I’m scared too!”

Ji You: ”...”

Out of speechlessness, Ji You simply put down the grapefruit she had been toying with and gave up, saying, ”I can’t do this job, let someone else take over.”

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan and others shook their heads in succession: ”No—our luck is bad.”

Then, everyone started pushing it onto others, and no one was willing to draw lots.

Ji You raised her hand, rubbed the center of her forehead, looked towards the silent Xuzhou, and said, ”Little Zhouzhou! You go!”

Little Zhouzhou, the honest kid, was the only one who didn’t voice any opinions.

When Xuzhou heard his name, he eagerly shifted his gaze from Black-faced Soldier Han Zheng’s three-star warrior medal and appeared a bit confused, asking, ”Go where?”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You said with a smile, ”You go there and randomly pick a lot, don’t be afraid, whatever you draw is what it’ll be!”

Chu Jiaojiao and others said in unison, ”That’s right! Just pick randomly, don’t be afraid! No pressure—”

Xuzhou, being sweet-talked, took a step forward, and just then, the other teams also chose their candidates for drawing.

After they had chosen, Han Zheng took out the ten lots, and said, ”Choose!”

All ten people reached out immediately, some hesitated before making their choice, but Xuzhou didn’t think much and directly grabbed one.

The hearts of Ji You and others instantly lifted, and they asked loudly, ”What is it?”

Xuzhou opened it and read aloud, ”Cows!”

Ji You and the others: ”!!!”

In an instant—

The other teams relaxed, unable to help but burst out laughing:

”Ha ha ha...”

”Safe now!”

”Saved!”

”Xuzhou, thank you!”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Zhang Ye, Lou, and others, grinding their teeth, said, ”Xuzhou, we truly thank you!”
