The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Fuming Corpse Awakening

Sunrise, gentle breeze, shadows of the trees...

Shen Changqing walked quietly towards Ji You, with a composed expression, the door of the simple stone house behind him wide open...

The person approaching was tall, with handsome features and a gentle temperament, walking neither too fast nor too slow, like a beautiful painting, but Ji You had no mind to admire him, quickly looked behind Shen Changqing and asked, ”Did you handle it?”

Shen Changqing: ”Yes.”

Ji You was shocked: ”You handled them all?”

Shen Changqing’s face turned red: ”Yes, pretty neatly.”

”Oh? Let me see.” Ji You pushed Shen Changqing aside, hurriedly walked into the stone house, and upon a closer look, saw the four ’corpses’ lying inside, glaring at him with wide eyes. Ji You laughed and said, ”Wow~ indeed quite neatly.”

The four ’corpses’ glared: ”...”

Shen Changqing followed inside, saying very seriously, ”One group, all nice and neat.”

The four corpses nearly sprang to life upon hearing this! Especially Liu Shun, the blond boy Harry, and the only girl Huang Ting, who glared angrily at Shen Changqing as he entered. This guy, looking so kind and innocent, unexpectedly secretly played a dark hand on their group.

Although the talents of the three weren’t high, Huang Ting’s Spiritual Power A-level was rendered powerless in front of Shen Changqing’s S-level spiritual power, this left Huang Ting shocked and anxious.

So the gap between herself and these geniuses like Shen Changqing had already become this wide?

Not only Huang Ting felt dismayed, but Liu Shun and Harry were Physique A-level and Spiritual Power C-level. Despite having a much lower spiritual power than Shen Changqing, they boasted a stronger physique, but didn’t expect that when Shen Changqing took down Huang Ting, Harry and Liu Shun immediately teamed up for a counterattack, yet still couldn’t beat Shen Changqing? Shen Changqing’s physique was only B-level.

The three were both indignant and unwilling.

...

Ji You patted Shen Changqing’s shoulder, laughed, and praised, ”Shen Changqing, my friend... you have great prospects.”

Shen Changqing pursed his lips, remembering the phrase ’honest man’ from Ji You and the blond boy lying on the ground. Suddenly, feeling slightly uneasy, his face reddened. He didn’t respond to the compliment.

Ji You brought a chair over and sat right next to the blond boy ’corpse’, casually ruffled his big head, then, crossing his legs, asked seemingly unintentionally, ”Who said I wasn’t an honest person just now?”

The blond boy Harry’s face turned a mix of green and white.

Deliberately.

did it deliberately.

In the freshman exercise field, there were rumors that this guy had a hobby of insulting the ’dead’. Harry originally thought it was just hearsay, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. As his face grew furious, he met eyes with Ji You’s obvious teasing gaze, only to hear her say: ”Really is an honest man indeed.”

Shen Changqing’s ears twitched.

Honest man...

These three words, somehow, didn’t sound like praise.

When Harry heard Ji You say this, he became even angrier, his face turning red and his neck swelling. Ji You shouted, ”Harry, take it easy, buddy. Corpses don’t usually look this rosy. Careful not to get your points deducted.”

Harry: ”...”

Harry silently inhaled, exhaled, inhaled, exhaled... After a few cycles like this, he gradually calmed down, and his face paled a bit.

Nearby, Liu Shun lying there witnessed this scene, feeling both relieved and introspective: indeed, he’s not the most miserable one. Huang Ting also shut her eyes immediately, deciding to see no evil.

Then.

The least conspicuous of the four ’corpses’ suddenly sprang up, glaring at Ji You and Shen Changqing, demanding, ”Who! Who in our team killed me?”

The sudden mock resurrection startled Ji You and Shen Changqing, both stared at the ’corpse’, looking at him as if he was a brave warrior. The year-end exam venue, and yet daring to pretend like this, truly...

Truly not afraid of losing points.

Ji You grinned, ”Bro, stop glaring, the culprit who killed you isn’t here.”

Beside her, Shen Changqing added, ”It was Sheng Qingyan.”

”...” Ji You opened her mouth: ”Changqing Little Cutie, aren’t you worried about insulting this brother?”

Shen Changqing flushed again: ”Giving Ayan something to do.”

Ji You squinted at Shen Changqing, stroked her chin, and said, ”Hmm... I think I now understand why Spicy Eye claimed he was often beaten as a child and frequently had parents bringing their kids to complain about him.”

”Ahem...” Shen Changqing paused for a moment, then couldn’t help explaining, ”It’s not what you think. After something happened in Ayan’s family, he just didn’t want to move, didn’t want to play, and didn’t speak to anyone. I just wanted him to have more contact with people, didn’t want him to close himself off...”

Ahem... Though every time, it seemed like it backfired. For example, a female classmate once grabbed his favorite candies, specifically ate them in front of Ayan to cheer him up... and in the end, she suddenly changed her mind, wanted to eat all the candies herself, Ayan asked her for some, she refused, so Sheng Qingyan ended up fighting with her, and lost the fight...

Then.

I realized that wasn’t working, I couldn’t let anyone bully Ayan, so I beat that girl up as well, and eventually, the girl’s parents brought her over to demand an explanation. Grandpa was frequently away from home, could never find him, so the girl’s parents went to the Sheng Family next door for justice, Ayan took all the blame himself.

And then...

In short, there were several scenes like this of good intentions leading to bad outcomes when I was young.

...

Next to them, the corpse suddenly slammed the ground: ”Sheng Qingyan!!!”

Ji You was shocked: ”You’re really not afraid of losing all your academic points.”

This corpse immediately shut his mouth, tilted his eyes, and didn’t move, attempting to get away with it. However, every student wears a Life Sensor on them, and once their Life Value hits zero, it signifies the student is ’dead’. After death, the sensor continuously records any students’ speech or actions that don’t match typical ’corpse’ behaviors, then transmits this data fully to the school’s review system, which scores the students’ performances.

Anyway, this corpse had spoken two lines, truly commendable for his bravery.

Ji You ignored the corpse and began speaking to Shen Changqing, ”So, from what the mouths of these three honest people lying here said, among the 31 teams, Yu Yi and Penny’s team is the most formidable, right?”

Shen Changqing nodded: ”Yes. Yu Song’s team was eliminated by them.”

Ji You stroked her chin: ”Yu Yi, didn’t expect this guy to be so formidable, huh. He’s a threat. Or should we pair up now and eliminate him?”

Shen Changqing: ”Just the two of us?”

Ji You looked at Shen Changqing encouragingly: ”Yes, you need to trust in your honest face.”

Shen Changqing suddenly corrected: ”It’s all about acting skills.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You stopped joking, said: ”Probably just the two of us, can’t deal with them, anyway Yu Yi isn’t as easy to fool as these three blockheads lying here.”

Liu Shun, Harry, Huang Ting: ”...”
