The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: She Really Wasn’t Showing Off

Ji You finished speaking, and noticed Shaun and the others looking at her with even stranger expressions—admiration and respect mixed with intense anger!

Ji You slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said, ”Ah? Am I really very skilled?”

”I don’t think so.”

”Usually, the people around me always say I’m very bad, like a weak chicken, and I think so too.” The more Ji You spoke, the stranger the expressions from these people became, and the small flame of anger began to grow! Hotter and stronger!

Ji You was oblivious and continued speaking to herself: ”Really, everyone around me can do tricks like this! They’re all way better than me.”

Shaun and the others: ”...”

Ji You kept talking: ”Really, in front of them I’m a real weak chicken, whenever we compare skills, I’ve never...”

”Hold on.” Shaun clutched his chest, interrupting Ji You, and asked, ”Did you say everyone around you can do this?”

Ji You looked puzzled and nodded, ”Yes.”

Shaun and the others felt their already torn hearts ache even more.

Shaun opened his mouth—

”Oh no!”

”The moth is about to fly away!” Ji You suddenly cried out, quickly drew another arrow, and swiftly shot it!

Swish!

Everyone clearly heard a crisp sound, the sound of the arrow piercing through the air.

Then—

Ji You retrieved her hand and inserted the arrow back into the crossbow behind her.

Just then, Shaun felt something land on the back of his hand, looking bewildered, he extended his hand to show everyone.

Then—

The camera zoomed in on the moth from earlier, flapping its wings, still lively and full of vitality. The wing that originally had three marks now had three more.

Neatly aligned, 1, 2, 3... totaling six marks!

Everyone: ”!!!”

Ji You looked innocent, saying, ”It’s really simple!”

”Oh my!”

”You call this simple!”

”You call this simple?” Shaun shrieked, unable to maintain his image as class president and team leader, glaring at Ji You, wishing he could slap Ji You’s conscience, saying, ”You really should say less! Your words are infuriating.”

The plain-looking girl and the handsome boy beside him looked at Ji You with expressions full of strangeness, mixed with deep resentment and annoyance.

”Ahem...” Ji You’s face showed slight embarrassment, saying, ”Sorry, didn’t mean to disturb. That’s just how I speak with my school’s classmates and friends, and they don’t find it strange.”

Shaun shrieked, asking, ”Is your school full of animals?”

Ji You: ”...”

Shaun asked, ”By the way, which school are you from?” How could they forget to ask such an important question?

Ji You replied, ”I’m from the Alliance First Military Academy.”

Shaun: ”...”

Shaun rolled his eyes: ”Liar! Our camp’s commander is Jefferson from the First Army!”

So, which part of the First Army are you from?

Ji You laughed heartily, showing no embarrassment at her lie being exposed, immediately changing her answer: ”I’m from the Akya Star Military Academy!”

”Ha?” Shaun: ”???”

The boy and girl beside Shaun were also full of questions, the boy couldn’t help but say, ”Isn’t Akya Star... an—”

Ji You straightened her face, with a hint of forced laughter in her tone, saying: ”That’s right, it’s an Agricultural Star.”

Everyone: ”...”

The audience outside: ”...”

”Can she speak a single truthful word?”

”She’s really sneaky.”

”Doesn’t she fear being caught after lying so much?”

”Why worry about getting caught, a moment lied is a moment earned! To her, deceiving one more second is profit! Her true intentions won’t be exposed!”

”Young people these days have no sense of respect.”

”However, her knife skills! Absolutely amazing! I truly admire her!”

”To mark three identical lines on top of the existing ones without harming the moth! That’s incredible skill!”

”Impressive!”

”Ji You, truly worthy of being the sole ’2B’ player on the United University’s leaderboard.”

...

Ji You wasn’t just showing off; she wanted Shaun and others to show more of their cards!

These three, along with Wei Yun watching the surveillance from outside, were clearly the core of Shaun’s team. Only by getting them to acknowledge her strength could she be well-utilized by them.

Getting caught?

No problem, if things get tough, she could take them all out. Of course, that was the last resort, she firmly believed in maximizing the utility of these clueless little lambs, extracting value a few more times before discarding them.

Haha...

Ji · The Villain · You, appeared pure and innocent, but was secretly scheming.

”Perhaps you all only know Akya Star as an Agricultural Star, only heard of the Akya Star Agricultural College. But now that you know me, I believe after today, you will remember the school I am from—the Akya Star Military Academy.”

Shaun, the boy and girl beside him, all stood in respect.

Shaun said, ”I remember now.”

Ji You said, ”Akya Star Military Academy will be proud of me.”

Shaun: ”You can do it.”

The boy: ”You can definitely achieve it!”

The silent girl also couldn’t help but say, ”I believe in you.”

Ji You smiled, slightly raising the corners of her mouth, ”Thank you all for your encouragement, I’ll keep it in mind.”

Outside: ”...”

Especially the Akya Star Military Academy students outside, who sat in their classroom, looked at each other puzzled: ”Does our school really have a girl named Ji You?”

Silence for 1 second.

The Combat Department’s instructor at Akya Military Academy slammed the table, saying, ”Listening to her nonsense! Glory isn’t yours, yet you all share in the blame!”

”Stay sharp, learn a thing or two from her ability to lie without batting an eye. If I throw you out later, I won’t worry about you being deceived.”

Students: ”...”

On the battlefield.

The silent girl handed the knife in her palm to Ji You, signaling quietly.

Ji You took it, examined it thoroughly, and said with a smile, ”This is a good knife.”

”Are you skilled with knives?” Ji You casually asked.

The girl originally didn’t want to answer, but under Ji You’s expectant gaze, she couldn’t help but reply: ”No. I don’t like using knives; they’re too light. I prefer heavy weapons.”

Understood.

Physique Gifted.

Then, most likely not the hidden communications talent. Whether it be mechanical manufacturing, mecha manufacturing, or other high-tech work, they require high spiritual power.

The girl’s talent leans towards Physical Strength, so she’s clearly not.

Leaving only the boy beside her.

Ji You thought to herself, her face showed great seriousness, said: ”If I find a heavy weapon on the battlefield, I’ll give it to you first.”

The girl smiled: ”Okay.”
