The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1519: Chapter 1519: Soul Artifact Apprentice

As the graduation exams approach, the entire class atmosphere is tense, with everyone buried in their studies, fearing that falling behind now means losing out on a part of their life’s journey.

Gu Yao listens to classes quietly, does practice questions quietly.

After class, when she hears her classmates say that Lin Wei went to the class next door to collect tickets again, Gu Yao feels conflicted inside.

Clearly, this array diagram must be extremely important; otherwise, someone as proud and arrogant as Lin Wei wouldn’t lower himself to collect tickets everywhere after losing face.

Mila was right, don’t tell anyone about having tickets, or else, given my situation, I definitely can’t keep them.

This class, the teacher focused on reviewing difficult points and key points, and Gu Yao studied very seriously.

Then.

The teacher announced self-study.

The classroom was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and Gu Yao wasn’t distracted at all, focusing intently on reviewing. She felt that with her current knowledge base, getting into a few local public universities was relatively easy; her teachers and classmates had similar expectations. But deep down, Gu Yao had an unspeakable ambition; she didn’t want to apply to the nearby public universities.

Her ideal school was—

Lanyue Star Military Academy.

Yes.

She wanted to go to a military academy; if she couldn’t become a warrior defending her country in this life, then she wanted to attend a prestigious military school.

She wanted to be closer to the warriors, and a military academy was the best choice. Given Gu Yao’s talent level, she could only major in the Material Processing Department, but fortunately, Gu Yao didn’t mind the material processing subject and had been trying to cultivate her interest in it since entering high school.

Moreover, Lanyue Star Military Academy’s material processing discipline ranks first among all schools in the Alliance.

The entire Alliance, all students aspiring to this field, would do anything to get into the Material Department of Lanyue Star Military Academy. Actually, Gu Yao’s chances were very low, very low.

She knew.

The reality was harsh; in Gu Yao’s short 18 years of life, she had learned to compromise, constantly compromising with society...

Gu Yao quietly worked hard; regardless of the outcome, she had to give it a try.

After school, Gu Yao heard that Lin Wei had acquired 51 more tickets, which was his limit. He asked everyone in the school, and collected all the tickets from students who had publicly stated that they bought tickets yesterday.

As for students who hadn’t revealed their tickets, Lin Wei couldn’t find them, nor did he have the power to request others’ Star Network accounts for checking, so Lin Wei collected a total of 208 tickets.

This number, not many but not few either.

Whatever Lin Wei intended to do, Gu Yao didn’t care, nor could she. After getting home and finishing all her homework, she cleaned up, put on pajamas, and lay in bed before logging onto the Star Network to check her third ticket.

Ahem...

The reason for lying in bed was because her previous experiences taught Gu Yao that if she didn’t, she might not know where she would wake up the next morning.

She never wanted to wake up in the bathroom again.

Gu Yao lay down properly, solemnly using her viewing rights.

At first glance, it was still pitch black.

Gu Yao dared not let her mind wander, focusing intently on concentrating her spiritual power, following a method provided in the ’Green Glaze Master Student Exchange Zone’ by a senior, casting aside distractions, and focusing single-mindedly on concentrating her spirit. Just then...

Gu Yao felt a swell of pain in her head.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Here it comes again!

Just a second before passing out, Gu Yao suddenly saw a light before her eyes; she wondered if she was hallucinating, but the weak light seemed imprinted in her mind, unshakable!

It was—

The border of the array diagram.

Gu Yao stared intently! Then, she fainted.

...

When Lin Wei handed over the collected 208 tickets to his cousin Lin Bin, Lin Bin was slightly surprised, then delighted to see so many.

This distant relative was an unexpected reward from Lin Bin’s widespread efforts, where his other subordinates, collectively, had only managed to gather less than 100 tickets.

This Lin Wei actually amassed 208 tickets!

Lin Bin was inwardly pleased, but outwardly calm, saying, ”Lin Wei, you’ve done well.”

Lin Wei looked a bit nervous, saying, ”Brother Lin Bin, do you... still need more? I’ll think of a way to gather more for you.”

Lin Bin wanted to shake his head but couldn’t resist the temptation and nodded, ”If you can find more, please do.”

Lin Wei, hearing this, suddenly felt invigorated as if filled with adrenaline, pounding his chest, saying, ”Brother Lin Bin, rest assured, I will try my best to get you more tickets.” Lin Bin was Admiral Lin Jun’s grandson, and his father was Admiral Lin Jun’s youngest son, given Admiral Lin Jun’s power and status, distant relatives like Lin Wei wouldn’t dare...

Lin Bin casually asked, ”Have you used any of these tickets yourself?”

Lin Wei shook his head upon hearing this, ”I haven’t.”

Lin Bin was a bit surprised but didn’t show it, recalling his investigation into this relative’s background: uneducated, arrogant.

Clearly, when Green Glaze Master faced countless denunciations, this relative definitely wouldn’t buy, nor use something that costs only 10 credit points.

Lin Bin asked, ”Have you considered trying it?”

Lin Wei shook his head, then nodded, saying, ”I thought about it, but I’m not very interested in becoming a soul artifact maker, so I haven’t tried.”

Thinking for a moment, Lin Wei couldn’t resist asking, ”Brother Lin Bin, does the array diagram improve your soul artifact manufacturing?”

Lin Bin didn’t confirm, simply saying, ”Perhaps, it needs experimentation, and that’s why I need more tickets.” Actually, Lin Bin himself hadn’t looked at Green Glaze Master’s array diagram and belonged to the early group of ’blind people.’

At the time, someone at Lin Bin’s soul device laboratory had preemptively identified Green Glaze Master’s array diagram, but Lin Bin scoffed at it, assuming it was hype, doubting the diagram could be stored for such a long time and seen by so many people. But subsequent developments forced Lin Bin to take notice because a lab apprentice managed to successfully manufacture a soul artifact after studying Green Glaze Master’s array diagram!

This event caused quite a stir in the entire laboratory, and when Lin Bin tried buying tickets, there were none left.

Lin Bin was furious!

He had been in this soul artifact maker’s laboratory for 15 years and still hadn’t become a soul artifact maker. Lin Bin’s S-class spiritual power and A-level physique categorized him as a young prodigy type, and he had passed various array diagram tests, possessing the talent to become a soul artifact maker. He was one of the only two of his generation with such talent in the Lin family, the other being his uncle Lin Feng. Though Lin Feng was in a different generation from Lin Bin, he was younger in age, so they had been competing from a young age.

Lin Feng’s aptitude was better than Lin Bin’s; 10 years ago, he smoothly became a basic-level soul artifact maker.

What about Lin Bin?

Lin Bin remained a soul artifact apprentice. This fact greatly frustrated Lin Bin. He believed the reason lay in Lin Feng receiving more family resources than he did!

Now a shortcut to becoming a soul artifact maker seemed to be laid in front of Lin Bin, unwilling to abandon it.

Lin Bin said, ”If you can find more tickets, then please help me find them, they may be really useful for me. Rest assured, your contributions will be remembered; I won’t forget them.”

Lin Wei hurriedly said, ”Brother Lin Bin, rest assured, I will definitely try to find more tickets for you.”
