The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Big Assignment

To prove she wasn’t lying, Ji You did the splits several times in a row.

Then—

Having seen with their own eyes Ji You’s nimble rolls and splits, students’ doubts instantly dissolved:

[Horizontal split, side split, straight split... so many variations in her splits, look how agile she is, doesn’t seem like someone who’s hurt their groin at all!]

So, gazes of sympathy instantly turned into admiration:

”Group 44 actually survived at the Cow Farm!”

”Not just survived, but completely unharmed!”

”666!”

”Indeed worthy of Group 44!”

...

Amidst the compliments, Ji You lifted her chin, curled her lip corner upwards, and said: ”Don’t worship us, we’re just a tiny bit more amazing and a little bit smarter than you all!”

Everyone: ”...”

”Pff~”

Hearing such boastful talk instantly washed away other students’ admiration, leaving them no longer interested in crowding around Ji You and her team. They spat and dispersed one by one.

As the onlookers left, the surroundings suddenly quieted down.

Ji You grinned, chuckled ’heh heh’, and said: ”You see, sometimes to deal with these rubberneckers, the best thing to do is to let them lose interest and disperse on their own.”

”Cough cough...” Chu Jiaojiao and the others couldn’t help but suppress their coughs, sometimes they had to admit that Ji You, number 4444, did have some clever tricks up her sleeve when it came to handling these issues.

Sure enough, the crowd that had gathered scattered cleanly.

Without the gawking crowd watching over, the backs of the nine members of Group 44, which had been held stiffly, suddenly collapsed, and at that moment, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath could be heard around the scene.

”Sss~”

”Damn it really hurts.”

”I can’t take it anymore.”

...

A thick sense of ’mild sadness’ permeated the air; Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Chu Jiaojiao, Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, and Lance, all nine of them looked up at the sky for a while, then suddenly turned around:

Yue Qiguang said through gritted teeth: ”The next two days, even if we have to grit our teeth, we must complete the tasks, I don’t want to stay at the Cow Farm anymore.”

Their task was to take care of cows at the Cow Farm for three days, with additional days added if any problems occurred!

As soon as Yue Qiguang finished speaking, Sheng Qingyan, with a crestfallen face, chimed in: ”That’s right, I don’t want to stay at the Cow Farm either. If I stay any longer, I feel like Universe’s number one Little Cutie might end up incomplete.”

”Cough cough...” Ji You couldn’t help but ask curiously: ”Turn into a eunuch?”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan glared at Ji You resentfully and muttered: ”Poor dead, you’re going to end up friendless at this rate.”

Ji You touched her chin: ”I’m quite curious what an ’incomplete’ Little Cutie would be like.”

Sheng Qingyan stomped her foot, huffed, and turned her back, ignoring Ji You.

The others didn’t speak, but their clenched fists and the determined look in their eyes all revealed a resolve to leave the Cow Farm!

Ji You then made a sweeping gesture with her hand and proclaimed: ”Comrades! Let’s join hands and break out of the Cow Farm together! Let’s go!”

Everyone: ”...”

...

The very next day.

The toughest task at the Cow Farm, besides dealing with the water buffalo herd, was now assisting pregnant cows with birthing.

That day, the entire farm saw a total of 12 cows giving birth, but Ji You and her team only had 10 people, which was simply...

Eventually, they figured out a method, corralling the 12 cows together for care and prioritizing those about to give birth. Ji You then detailed everyone’s specific responsibilities among the team, and through cooperative division of labor, after a brief period of bustle, they managed to help all the cows give birth.

Watching these newborn lives, Ji You and the others couldn’t help but remark: ”These 12 calves are actually quite cute.”

Yue Qiguang grabbed a fistful of his hair, a deep frown on his forehead: ”Dad has helped deliver piglets, bunnies, foals, and now even calved... Is dad really from the Combat Department or just one of those idiots from the Agricultural College? When vacation comes and I go home, if those idiots from the First Military Academy find out—where will dad put his face?”

As he spoke, Yue Qiguang suddenly revealed his fangs, giving his teammates a sinister smile: ”You all better keep your mouths shut! If anyone dares to let it slip—”

Yue Qiyuan gave him a sidelong glance, saying speechlessly: ”You’re the only one losing face? Not the rest of us? Just watch your own mouth.”

Who would want to spread this kind of embarrassing tale and lose face?

Ji You, fed up with their bickering, couldn’t help but retort: ”Raising cattle, pigs, bunnies, and also being able to deliver their babies, what’s so embarrassing about that? Skills don’t weigh you down! The more skills you have, the more ways you have to make a living! I don’t find it embarrassing at all!”

Others: ”...”

It’s not embarrassing, but it’s not exactly something you brag about either.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ji You knew what they were thinking and criticized: ”Can you eat pride? When you guys truly stop caring about face, you’ll be invincible.”

”Cough cough...”

Having inadvertently told a harsh truth, Ji You quickly tried to save his own dignity: ”Just treat it like I’m talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”

Shen Changqing seemed contemplative.

Lou remained silent.

Yue Qiyuan frowned in deep thought.

Sheng Qingyan rolled her eyes, with an ’I’ve seen through you a long time ago, Little Cutie’ expression.

Lou, Lance, Yue Qiguang, and Zhang Ye also pondered seriously.

Chu Jiaojiao agreed quite a bit: ”Ji You makes a lot of sense! And Ji You looks really good.”

As his plastic teammates pondered one after another, Ji You suddenly felt overwhelmed:

Crap, what if someone learns my secret move? Will it still be unstoppable when I use it in the future?

...

The third day.

The same tasks as the past two days. Under Ji You’s leadership, Group 44 almost had no mishaps and completed all tasks smoothly.

Not only did they complete them successfully, but also exceeded expectations, and Mu Jianling, the teacher, almost found no reason to deduct points or punish them.

The whole Group 44 stood side by side, feeling both happy and anxious at the same time.

Happy that they had received an excellent assessment, and anxious because—

The second task was about to be announced.

What would it be?

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing... all 10 people tilted their heads up, staring intently at Teacher Mu Jianling.

The expression on Mu Jianling’s face showed hesitation, but soon, it seemed she made up her mind and suddenly asked, ”Was it fun taking care of the cows?”

Ji You and the others: ”...”

Isn’t that obvious?

Mu Jianling: ”Hmm?”

Ji You and the others in unison, loudly proclaimed: ”Not fun at all!”

Mu Jianling laughed and said, ”Alright, I’ll switch you to something more fun.”

Something more fun?

Nobody really believed that—

But still holding a sliver of hope, they stared seriously at Teacher Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling raised her hand and pointed to the piles of rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, and other produce in the corner of the storeroom, saying: ”See all that? Tomorrow the farm will transport a batch of supplies to the Military Supply Department, and you few will be responsible for the transportation!”

Ji You and the others: ”!!!”

A substantial task, indeed!
