The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Pre-Competition Test

Among the 10,000 competing students, except for some who are truly outstanding and have a bit of fame throughout the Alliance, like Shen Sheng... everyone is not familiar with other students, their combat power, commonly used combat methods, strengths and weaknesses, and personalities... One could say these things are unclear, which is both advantageous and disadvantageous.

From Ji You’s perspective, hiding one’s data and information is absolutely more advantageous than disadvantageous.

If one were to appear on the leaderboard at this time, their information would inevitably be dug up by competitors, which is something Ji You doesn’t want.

Therefore, Ji You believes that some opportunities for attention should be seized, but others should be selectively ignored. For example, the current situation of leaking one’s own information is quite unnecessary.

Ji You saw the obvious disappointment and shimmering glances in the eyes of Yue Qiguang and Chu Jiaojiao and couldn’t help but say: ”Our goal in coming here is to achieve victory and earn the qualification for the Space Rift access ticket... This is the goal, the ultimate goal. I don’t oppose whether you want to leave your data here or not, but before you choose to do so, be sure to think clearly about whether you can handle the pressure of all the subsequent variables.”

Leave?

Not leave?

This depends on the teammates themselves.

The team fell into silence as everyone was deep in thought.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Suddenly, Yue Qiguang stepped forward and said, ”For such an attention-seeking act, Dad is certainly—”

”Not going.”

After those two words, Yue Qiguang stepped back again, seeing everyone’s speechless faces looking at him, Yue Qiguang explained, ”Dad just suddenly stepped forward because I felt a bit numb in my leg and wanted to move a bit to invigorate my muscles.”

Everyone: ”...”

Except for Yue Qiguang who took a step, no one else moved, clearly still in thought and weighing the options. About 10 minutes later, Ji You received everyone’s decision not to step forward for testing.

Ji You grinned and chuckled: ”We won’t seek attention now, let’s grow stealthily, so when we do seek attention for real, we’ll definitely surprise everyone.”

Chu Jiaojiao giggled: ”I like stealthy growth the most. Ahem... I mean healthy, obedient, clean, and pure development...”

As everyone made their decision and were about to leave, suddenly a loud electronic voice sounded from within the cafeteria:

”Attention students, the limited-supply oil-braised shrimp, red-braised pork trotters, and steamed hairy crab are about to run out, about to run out... To show encouragement, all limited-supply dishes will now be paused, and the remaining dishes will be given as rewards, free to the top 100 students on the test list!”

”Attention students! If you want to test your luck and strength in front of thousands of spectators, then register enthusiastically for the test activity.”

Once the broadcast ended, there was a momentary pause at the scene:

”What?”

”The limited-supply food is gone?”

”I waited in line for half a day, and now you’re telling me it’s gone?”

”Don’t complain, you didn’t hear? Now the limited dishes are free to eat!”

”Really free to eat?”

”It’s free!”

”But there’s a condition! You need to enter the test list’s top 100.”

”Damn! So this means if you don’t have the strength to enter the leaderboard, you can’t even have soup.”

...

The students’ discussions suddenly ignited the atmosphere of the venue, and suddenly, the number of students waiting in line in front of the two test machines increased dramatically.

Yue Qiyuan asked, ”Ji You, do you want to give it a try? If you enter the top 100, you can enjoy the free delicacies.”

Ji You was initially tempted but quickly steadied her mind. All the other foodies in the squad were also weak-willed, staring at the holographic videos of those delicacies displayed on the light screen.

Gulu~

Gulu~

Gulu~

The sound of gulping and the rumbling of stomachs suddenly echoed, Ji You glanced at Yue Qiyuan and said, ”I’m not going.”

Yue Qiyuan looked a bit surprised: ”Hmm? Free delicacies, and you actually don’t want to go?”

This was unexpected to Yue Qiyuan, as well as to the others.

Faced with everyone’s puzzled eyes, Ji You shook her head and said, ”My goal is only the competition; any activities that might affect my competition results, I can throw away entirely.”

”Free food, that’s all?” Ji You snorted deliberately, expressing disdain, ”Just a bit of shrimp and a bit of crab... and you want me to give up my principles? Absolutely impossible!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the broadcast in the cafeteria sounded again:

”To encourage everyone to advance vigorously and persistently challenge, as long as the students go to the test, regardless of the data, regardless of whether it enters the leaderboard, they will all receive a free platter of oil-braised shrimp!”

Everyone: ”!!!”

Ji You stared: ”Big deal! So just participating means we can get a free dish of oil-braised shrimp? Then what are we waiting for! Brothers, hurry up and get in line.”

Everyone: ”...”

Almost unable to resist, Yue Qiyuan said: ”A dish of oil-braised shrimp, and your principles are shattered.”

Ji You paused, turned her head and said to Yue Qiyuan: ”My principles are shattered, and what about yours? How come you’re running even faster than me?”

Yue Qiyuan had already leaped past Ji You, quickly darting to the front of the test line, but he seemed to be struggling to decide whether to test or not.

Then, Ji You said to Yue Qiyuan: ”Didn’t say you have to leave behind dazzling data.”

Right.

Indeed.

Yue Qiyuan suddenly slapped his forehead, knowing what to do next.

So, Yue Qiyuan stood at the very front of all his teammates; the number of testers declined one by one, but Shen Sheng’s data always led, without anyone surpassing her, until Yue Qiyuan’s turn. Yue Qiguang was the first to stand in front of the testing strength machine, with a deep breath, appearing quite forceful, he hammered out a punch.

Boom——

The machine emitted a violent shudder...

The values flickered one by one, finally settling on one value:

[Strength: 5601.]

This strength value, if placed in the Lanyue Star Military Academy Combat Department, counts as upper-level, but——placed among all second-year students in the entire Alliance, it isn’t particularly prominent.

It’s known that the students standing here, representing their schools in the competition, are excellent students.

Yue Qiyuan’s value was high, but did not enter the top 100.

Not the least bit attention-grabbing.

Next.

Yue Qiyuan began testing spiritual power, as everyone knows he is an S-class spiritual power talent, physique isn’t his strong point, spiritual power is his talent, the previous strength data, although not impressive, but for a spiritual power strongman is already very powerful.
