The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Duel

”Eat melon!”

”Big news!”

”The ins and outs of He Bi and the second-year girl!”

”How the second-year girl won He Bi’s heart!”

”Deep dive into the details of He Bi and the second-year girl’s acquaintance!”

...

”Wait... I just got here and I’m a bit unsure of the situation. Let me get this straight, are you saying He Bi got together with a second-year girl? Is there solid proof? That Old Miser He Bi, did he really spend money on romance?”

”Gotta be a mistake! This deep dive post says He Bi often treats the second-year girl to long-legged chicken eggs?”

”That Old Miser He Bi would absolutely never do such a thing. I’ve known him for 2 years and haven’t seen him treat anyone to anything worth even ten cents. I bet Old Miser He Bi didn’t treat the girl to eggs, but asked her to help raise long-legged chickens to lay eggs!”

”Ahem... Look at the picture upstairs!”

The picture shows a holographic photo in the cafeteria hall, with He Bi smiling and handing an egg to Ji You. It’s full HD from all angles, so clear that it shows every pore on their faces.

”Hiss~”

For a moment, the melon-eaters widened their eyes in disbelief: ”It’s really true.”

”Whoa! You guys upstairs, still looking at this non-nutritious gossip! It’s started!”

”Started?”

”Where?”

”How come I didn’t see it?”

”In the mecha arena!”

”Whoa, I just ran to the mission hall and now you’re telling me to go to the ring arena?”

”Hurry!”

”Hurry!”

...

In no time, the melon-eaters swarmed toward the school arena.

Even after reaching the arena, Ji You was still wide-eyed, unsure how she ended up here in a daze, and was now sitting below, witnessing ’He Bi the scumbag raging for the beauty.’

Being an enthusiastic gossip follower, Ji You never thought she’d suddenly become part of the gossip crowd herself. Of course, she ignored all that, keeping her eyes wide and watching closely above.

Barro Parker was already standing in the arena, behind him stood a roughly three-meter-tall custom mecha with a very low-key, reserved, and steady appearance. Barro Parker hugged his chest with a relaxed expression and slightly raised an eyebrow asking: ”He Bi, how do you want to fight?”

He Bi said: ”Senior Brother, however you want to fight, let’s fight.”

Saying this, He Bi didn’t even reveal his mecha, just leaned lazily against the wall at the side of the arena.

Barro Parker’s eyes narrowed, he raised his voice and said: ”If that’s the case, let’s bet our lives then.”

Whoa——

These words instantly stirred great waves.

Bet lives?

Is this for real? Using each other’s lives as stakes, fighting until one side is dead?

Among the crowd, there was a sudden stir, they looked at each other, none having imagined Barro Parker would suggest something so crazy. Usually, student matches are for exchange and sparring, mainly for mutual guidance, rarely does anyone seriously stake lives as it’s not worth it.

Now, with Barro Parker’s suggestion, would He Bi agree?

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on He Bi.

He Bi still lazily leaned against the wall, seemingly indifferent to Barro Parker’s proposal, showing no excess emotion.

Barro Parker’s gaze fixed He Bi: ”How about it?”

Under everyone’s gaze, He Bi opened his mouth and smiled: ”Of course—no.”

Everyone: ”...”

Barro Parker: ”...”

Just saying everything goes according to the other, yet next moment chickened out. He Bi’s response, truly—

So naturally and unpretentiously cowardly.

Ji You stood immediately and applauded: ”Well done, Senior He Bi, I’m behind you, this isn’t cowardice, it’s a tactical retreat.”

He Bi said: ”...”

He Bi said: ”No! There’s no other reason, I’m just a coward.”

Ji You loudly said: ”Good job, Senior! Senior, I’m behind you! Senior, you’re both cowardly and miserly, but you’re a straightforward coward, an honest coward, you’re generously cute... Keep being a coward, don’t stop.”

After He Bi’s mouth twitched, he turned to Barro Parker, saying: ”Senior Brother Barro, come on, I can fight until you call stop.”

Barro Parker’s already bad complexion turned pitch black when he heard Ji You and He Bi’s back-and-forth, so without a word, he dropped his mecha, leaped forward charging at He Bi. This sudden move startled those watching.

”What is this?”

”Close combat?”

Clearly, confirming the spectators’ speculation, Barro Parker decided to abandon all external forces and simply use physical fitness to attack.

A whiff of wind rushed, fast, precise, fierce, almost attacking He Bi’s forehead, with no tactical loop around, the aim was to bash He Bi’s head, suddenly He Bi moved.

He faintly shifted, dodged a bit to the left, and as the opponent’s fist approached, his body tilted suddenly, in the blink of an eye, moved behind Barro Parker. Barro Parker’s quick reaction couldn’t be underestimated, his body swiftly straightened, hastily launching a punch behind.

But!

Too slow.

He Bi kicked fiercely at Barro Parker’s neck from behind, the immense force causing Barro Parker to stagger forward powerless!

Then, before Barro Parker could react, He Bi’s fist directly approached his vital point.

Barro Parker’s pupils contracted!

No!

Impossible!

But!

He Bi’s fist had already arrived.

Barro Parker slightly closed his eyes, intending to fight back hard when suddenly, He Bi’s fist changed course, slamming into the black mecha below.

Bang!

The mecha body trembled violently.

As the mecha was about to fall, He Bi reached out to hold it.

Barro Parker saw this, not only did he not accept kindness, he instead took advantage of He Bi’s distraction, suddenly swinging his fist, smashing toward He Bi’s back of the head, He Bi looked completely unaware——

Danger!!!

Everyone in the audience’s pupils widened!

The distance between the fist and head was less than 1 centimeter, He Bi seemed to vaguely sense the danger, however, Barro Parker’s fist firmly hit the back of his head.

Bang!

A crisp sound, like a watermelon splitting, right when everyone assumed He Bi’s head lost a corner, suddenly Barro Parker had somehow fallen to the floor, his head slammed against a large stone.

Everyone: ”...”

He Bi retrieved the stone, blowing it, saying: ”Senior, this is a Black Gold Meteorite, don’t headbutt next time.”

Barro Parker’s face had turned thoroughly black.

All around surged with noise!

”Whoa!”

”When did He Bi make his move? I didn’t even see it clearly.”

”Too fast, so fast that it felt like he never moved.”
