The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: Milking the System

With grins on their faces, Ji You and her group ran out of the training room, but in an instant, they all put away their smiles, each face more serious than the last.

Yue Qiyuan said softly, ”The situation is very grave, more serious than we imagined.”

Yue Qiguang tugged at his hair: ”What’s so grave? We’re just going to the space rift, right? At worst, just be a little careful.” He spread his fingers and noticed that the strands he’d pulled out were half black, alarming him instantly. He exclaimed, ”Ah! Dad’s dye is failing again! Damn, I’ll have to squeeze in a hair-dye session tonight.”

Yue Qiguang always appeared with short red hair, and the reason?

The reason is he thinks black hair isn’t bold enough and can’t reflect the unique aura he carries, so he dyes it red. Red is the boldest of all colors.

Yue Qiyuan rolled his eyes: ”You’re nuts.”

Ji You calmly chose to filter out the Yue brothers’ nonsense, looking at the group, she said, ”How proud is Teacher Mu, yet he wants us to be like a dog. Clearly, the danger there is higher than we anticipated. Let’s not get tangled up, just consider ourselves little dogs.”

”No.” Chu Jiaojiao was the first to refuse, saying, ”I’m a little ant.”

Shen Changqing was the second to chime in, murmuring, ”Me too.”

Yue Qiyuan added, ”I’m a simple little ant.”

”...Alright, enough of you,” Yue Qiguang blurted out the next second, ”...Dad wants to be a little ant too, a happy little ant.”

Then.

Seemingly languid Sheng Qingyan raised his eyelids and swore, ”Enough of you all, okay? Why not be proper people? One wants to be a dog, another an ant... But I’m different, I just want to be a happy, cute little sloth.”

Liu Fufeng didn’t speak, feeling like he couldn’t fit in right now. Anyway, his presence was low; he might as well pretend he didn’t exist.

Liu Fufeng stood aside, watching the drama, thinking that Ji You would surely come out with some sarcastic remarks, her foul mouth not far behind Principal Hong and Teacher Mu’s...

Unexpectedly, as Liu Fufeng’s mind wandered, Ji You spoke seriously, ”Alright, you all do whatever you want, but remember your roles. If you’re a dog, be a dog; if you’re an ant, be an ant; if you’re a sloth, be a sloth. Don’t mess up your roles.”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

In the next second, Ji You suddenly turned to Liu Fufeng and asked, ”Liu Fufeng, what do you want to be?”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

Liu Fufeng wondered if he could pretend to be deaf?

But facing Ji You’s commanding eyes, Liu Fufeng killed that idea and honestly said, ”I want to be...a mosquito?”

Ji You instantly rejected, ”No way, mosquitoes are too noisy and annoying. People see one and they smack it dead. Try another.”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

Liu Fufeng already thought his previous 18 years were absurd enough, but evidently not, it’s now even more absurd and ridiculous...

One day, he actually had to seriously consider what kind of creature he should be to remain inconspicuous?

Under the urgent stares of everyone, Liu Fufeng pursed his lips and, somewhat stiffly, said, ”I won’t be an animal; I want to be a blade of grass.”

Ji You and the others: ”...”

Ji You thought for a moment, waved her hand, and said, ”Alright, as long as you think of yourself as a blade of grass.”

Then.

Ji You looked at the others and said, ”Everyone remember, we’re not joking or rehearsing now. Once we enter the space rift, remember your identities, and don’t mess them up.”

Everyone nodded solemnly at her words. Suddenly, Sheng Qingyan asked, ”What about you, poor dead, what do you want to be?”

Ji You said, ”Me?”

She blinked and said, ”I’ll be Ji You.”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You chuckled, ”Since none of you are human, our team has to keep at least one person, right?”

Everybody: ”...”

Starting with Yue Qiguang, everyone bared their teeth at Ji You, revealing a sinister expression. Yue Qiyuan said, ”Let’s beat her up!”

Shen Changqing seriously contemplated and nodded, ”We could.”

Yue Qiguang said, ”We’re not humans anyway, beating her up doesn’t come with any guilt.”

Chu Jiaojiao hesitated a bit, ”Beating her up is fine, make sure to leave the face.”

Sheng Qingyan said, ”Ah Guang, Jiaojiao, you guys do it, I’d rather not get dirty.”

Liu Fufeng didn’t speak and tried his hardest to hypnotize himself into thinking he was just a blade of grass, an innocent little grass that knows nothing, understands nothing.

The group joked around as they headed to the dining hall for a meal, then hitching a free ride with Sheng Qingyan back to the dormitory. During this time, Ji You and the others didn’t wait for any additional training requests from Teacher Mu or any advice from Principal Hong, Dr. Luo, or other school elders...

Seeing this, Ji You told the group, ”We’re the best, there’s no need to panic or worry. When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we cover it with earth. If we truly can’t handle it, just consider it dying young.”

With that, Ji You snapped her fingers, ”Go wash up and sleep.”

As soon as she spoke, everyone dispersed in a clamor.

Returning to the dorm, without any extra training, Ji You tidied up various items, confirming what needed to be taken with her, then uploaded her already prepared decomposition report on the ’Triangle’ Array Diagram to the Star Network, then put it on her shop’s shelf.

Setting a price on the shelf, the price is still low, only 10 credit points, the only difference is she set purchase conditions.

The product cannot be resold and is only available to those who previously purchased the Array Diagram and can fully see the shape of the Array Diagram.

Just this requirement alone has filtered out countless people.

Moreover, this decomposition report can only be viewed using spiritual power and cannot be stored in any form, meaning it cannot be copied or replicated...

This threshold seems very high, seemingly barring countless underprivileged people, but on the contrary, it provides more opportunities for them. Because the underprivileged can’t resell, they can only use it themselves, so the benefits of this learning are solely for them.

Also, Ji You isn’t just selling the simplest Triangle Array Diagram once. Now that she has experience, once she returns from the space rift, she will have more spiritual power to produce a new Array Diagram. She can’t believe she won’t be able to create a second one if she puts her whole heart into it?

At that time, continue selling it cheaply.

Once she can stably and abundantly supply Array Diagrams, no one will want to hoard them because there’s no need. By then, scalpers will be eradicated.

If the second Array Diagram breaks, then make a third, fourth, fifth... Until at least 50% of people have fully absorbed this Array Diagram before starting a new second Array Diagram.

And so forth, Ji You always feels she can endlessly fleece.
