The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 929: Chapter 929: What a Pit

When the tail wrapped around Ji You’s elbow, the Little Golden Dragon suddenly realized with a start, shivered its whole body in fright, and almost fell off. Ji You quickly caught it and said with a smile, ”Look at you, promise me you won’t be so rash outdoors next time.”

The Little Golden Dragon angrily said, ”You’re the one who’s rash—”

In the next second.

Ji You’s smiling eyes continued gazing at the Little Golden Dragon, her tone as gentle as the warm breeze: ”Because your rash and reckless look is just too adorable, I won’t allow anyone but me to see it.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon’s scalp tingled: ”Woman... you you you... can you speak normally?”

”Nope.” Ji You shook her head and said, ”I can never be normal facing you.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

[Mother~

This woman is so scary~

Repairman!

Repairman!

Come save me!

!!!!]

The repairman is gone.

The Little Golden Dragon helplessly turned around, staring at Mu Jianling: ”Teacher Mu...”

Mu Jianling looked at it, initially intent on ignoring it, but after a moment, she suddenly pulled out a folder and tossed it to the Little Golden Dragon, saying, ”You’ve been shut down for 50 years, you really are an old antique. This is a collection of TV dramas and novels I’ve recently watched, take a look, expand your knowledge, update your insight, it might be useful.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Ji You shamelessly leaned over, ”Teacher, could I have one too?”

Pa——

Then, Ji You received a blunt flick on the forehead.

...

After spending 10 billion buying the Little Golden Dragon and re-signing a thick stack of contracts, Ji Naïve Pure You, holding her Little Golden Dragon, was about to bid farewell to Mu Jianling—

Suddenly—

Mu Jianling said, ”This is the Biological Mecha user’s manual, take it.”

Ji You slapped her forehead, ”I almost forgot.”

She happily accepted the manual, but within 2 seconds, Ji You was no longer smiling. She saw numerous notes written densely across the pages, among which ten bold, capitalized items particularly made Ji You’s heart twitch:

First item: The Biological Mecha must be equipped with a High-level Energy Box, with a minimum monthly usage of 1-10 units. Energy consumption is for reference only, actual usage shall prevail. P.S.: Friendly advice—during non-combat time, you can shut it down to reduce energy consumption.

High-level Energy Box!!!

Each costs at least 100,000 credit points!

This—

This isn’t a Biological Mecha, it’s an Energy-Gulping Mecha, right?

Just reading the first item made Ji You’s heart twitch; then upon reading the second item, she couldn’t even smile anymore.

Second item: The mecha has suffered severe damage, original materials are broken, substitute materials for restoration must be replaced monthly, costing roughly 1-5 million credit points each time, the price depending on the quality of the replacement materials. Not replacing them will result in complete performance deterioration. P.S.: Friendly reminder—if you don’t want to replace them, you can shut it down, shut down doesn’t affect performance.

Ji You stared wide-eyed: ”!!”

Replace every month?

Each time ranging between 1-5 million credit points?

Third item: The technology of Mecha manufacturing is immature, restricted by technology, this Biological Mecha has certain defects. Certain types of biological genes such as X, D, Y, J... etc., are incompatible, resulting in the body occasionally losing ’parts’, also known as ’shedding’. If encountered, do not panic, just replenish the corresponding gene fragments timely. The estimated monthly expense is 50,000 to 1 million credit points...

Fourth item.

Fifth item.

Sixth item.

...

Ji You was already too distressed to continue reading. She turned to Teacher Mu Jianling, staring wide-eyed: ”Teacher... this... this... you didn’t mention it before I bought it.”

Mu Jianling casually replied, ”You didn’t ask me either.”

Ji You: ”...”

For a moment, Ji You was choked speechless.

After a while.

Ji You carefully probed: ”Can... can I return it?”

Beside, the Little Golden Dragon, upon hearing this, immediately shivered all over, staring at Ji You with eyes full of shock, anger, and a touch of panic. After a while, it opened its mouth wide, fiercely glaring at Ji You: ”Woman... you... you...”—you said you wouldn’t regret it, not now, not ever, not any day, any moment of the future.

But—

The lively tail of the Little Golden Dragon quietly drooped down, and its body in that instant slipped off Ji You’s arm... at that instant, a pair of slender hands suddenly reached over to catch the Little Golden Dragon.

The Little Golden Dragon opened its eyes, meeting a pair of laughing eyes...

Ji You smiled and said, ”I said I wouldn’t regret, how could I let go now? To you—I’ll never let go.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon furiously flicked its tail, quickly jumping onto a nearby parts rack, then furiously swished its tail, scolding, ”Damn it! I don’t have a Master like you!”

Ji You looked at the furious, angry Little Golden Dragon, yet saw anxiety, awkwardness, sadness, loss, and strong determination from it... suddenly she felt a burst of compassion, she hurriedly said, ”Alright alright... you don’t like it, I won’t joke like that anymore, really, I promise.”

The Little Golden Dragon’s tail-flicking motion subconsciously slowed down, but it still stiffened its neck, speaking in a very annoyed tone, ”Don’t even think about fooling me Lord Heavenly Dog!”

Ji You deeply regretted the careless words she spoke just now...

Although the Little Golden Dragon is a Mecha, it has all the emotions of a human, and—it’s so pure, naïve, and cute... suddenly Ji You didn’t know what to say to remedy the situation, so she had to sincerely, very earnestly say, ”Time will prove everything.”

”Humph!”

The Little Golden Dragon turned its back, ignoring Ji You.

Ji You re-wrapped it around her arm, turned to Teacher Mu Jianling, and asked, ”Teacher, are these all the notes? There’s nothing else?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Jianling froze.

Indeed.

Considering Ji You’s penny-pinching, money-loving character, she surprisingly didn’t object to this user manual, leaving Mu Jianling thoroughly shocked. According to Mu Jianling’s expectation, Ji You would at least negotiate, argue, seek some sort of compensation...

Didn’t happen?

Mu Jianling was astonished internally, but outwardly remained calm and said, ”No.”

Ji You stretched out her hand, calculated carefully, exhaled lightly and said, ”Fortunately, fortunately, I calculated that the monthly expenses are up to 15 million. I’ll work hard to earn money and support the Mecha.”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Both the person and the mecha were stunned by Ji You’s declaration. Especially, the Little Golden Dragon now did not turn its back to Ji You anymore, it directly twisted its head around, staring at Ji You, looking into her serious eyes, the Little Golden Dragon now truly believed it.

She—

Is serious.

She seriously wants to earn money, strive to support it.

The Little Golden Dragon was dumbfounded.

Mu Jianling looked at Ji You, her expression extremely complex, then she opened her mouth—
