The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625: Wake It Up

”No?” Yue Qiguang furrowed his brow, immediately displeased, and said, ”That bug looks so arrogant, a bug challenging all of us plus that stupid bull, and it doesn’t even have a crystal core?”

”Really doesn’t have one?” Yue Qiyuan stared at Ji You, knowing this person tends to joke around, wondering if Ji You was deliberately teasing everyone?

Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Liu Fufeng and others all widened their eyes, staring at Ji You.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ji You helplessly spread his hands and said, ”Really doesn’t. Honestly, I’ve flipped through this pile of garbage we cleaned up from top to bottom and still haven’t found anything.”

Nobody believed it, Chu Jiaojiao had already jumped beside Ji You to search herself. After flipping for a while, she found parts of the bug, only two wings barely maintaining their shape, the rest had been ground into mush, impossible to identify.

Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth, with a hint of hope, saying, ”Could it be that the crystal core was crushed and is mixed in this rotten meat?”

Hearing this, Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, ”If the crystal core were that fragile, it wouldn’t have lasted until humans discovered it.”

Liu Fufeng suddenly raised his hand, pointing at the Two-headed Bull floating in mid-air, saying, ”Could it have secretly hidden it?”

”Huh?!!”

”Could the Old Yellow Bull have taken it?”

”It’s very possible.”

Everyone chimed in, eager to prove it with words. Everyone has already experienced how useful the crystal core is during the overlapping of spaces. Now if a crystal core appears, it would be perfect, potentially like holding a life-saving shield...

Therefore, everyone preferred to believe the crystal core was stolen by the Old Yellow Bull than believe the bug doesn’t have one.

”Quiet down everyone.” He Bi interrupted the chattering crowd, saying, ”The Old Yellow Bull didn’t steal it. I was watching when it killed the bug and wouldn’t make a mistake. Besides, if there really was a crystal core, our spiritual power wouldn’t be completely unaware.”

The crystal core is a very special item and as humans have little understanding of it, it’s currently used simply as an energy source.

However, scientists speculate the crystal core has greater functions. These functions are yet unknown, though they are categorized into two broad types. First is as an energy source, which covers a wide range. Scientists at the Alliance Research Institute found that after breaking down existing crystal cores, it’s applicable to mechas, spaceships, starships, mechanical equipment and used in medical, construction... various aspects of life.

Moreover, its energy content is far superior to any existing human energy sources.

For example, the most advanced energy box could support a mecha’s operation for about 10 years, but the lowest level crystal core can support a mecha for more than 100 years.

That’s right.

More than 100 years.

So, even if the crystal core has no other uses, as an energy source alone it brings tremendous benefits to humanity!

When humans can fully utilize the crystal core’s energy, human society will undergo tremendous changes.

Let’s not delve into that now.

Besides energy, the crystal core’s second function is to boost human personal power. It can quickly enhance human Physical Strength and Spiritual Level.

However, this requires human experimentation for data to achieve credible results, which is illegal and banned by All Alliance and all humanity. Thus, this remains scientific speculation.

...

In short, the crystal core is precious and unique.

Due to its uniqueness, humans wouldn’t fail to notice it when it appears.

Hence, He Bi is certain there is no crystal core on the bug.

He Bi furrowed his brows and addressed everyone, ”Think of a way to make that bull run; it’s about to sleep.”

Upon hearing it, everyone turned to the Old Yellow Bull and indeed saw it standing still. Ji You couldn’t help raising his hand to rub his forehead, ”This bull, has it never slept its entire life? Still wants to sleep? Its butt is on fire and it can sleep through it...”

Shen Changqing softly said, ”It’s severely injured and needs sleep to recover. So, sleeping is a self-protective, self-repair mechanism.”

”But regardless of self-repair, not now.” Ji You thought and shook his head, saying, ”No, it has to be woken up. Otherwise, if it truly sleeps, our trouble will be huge.”

Sheng Qingyan pouted, ”Poor dead, couldn’t you just throw a few more stink bombs?”

Ji You felt tempted upon hearing this.

The next moment, He Bi spoke, ”No, stink bombs aren’t as effective, Star Beast has powerful immunity to odors. If you use too much, it will lose efficacy.”

He paused slightly, furrowing his brows, saying, ”In other words, stink bombs must be conserved, used in crucial moments.”

”What to do then?” Chu Jiaojiao sighed, saying, ”Do we run to its ear, pull its ear, and tell it to stop sleeping and start partying?”

”Oh?” Ji You’s eyes lit up and said, ”Let me try.”

Seeing everyone turn to look at him, Ji You narrowed his eyes, smiling slightly, saying, ”I’ll try talking to the Old Bull and see if it will run on its own.”

As the words fell, Ji You opened his mouth and shouted at the giant, ”Old Bull, stink bombs are coming, run!”

Upon hearing, Yue Qiguang and others were speechless, especially Yue Qiguang, thinking, could this work? If it did, he would twist his own head.

The next moment, the drowsy Old Yellow Bull suddenly snapped its head up, looking around, realizing the annoying human little bug had spoken again.

Then.

The Old Yellow Bull opened its mouth wide and roared furiously, ”Moo——”

[Annoying!]

Yue Qiguang slightly opened his mouth, ”...”

Forget it.

can’t be judged by common logic.

Regarding his own head, Yue Qiguang touched it. This group of fools didn’t know what thoughts he had just entertained.

Then.

Yue Qiguang focused intently on developments, seeing Ji You opened his mouth, smiled slightly, saying, ”Old Bull, are you worried you won’t be able to sleep once you leave the passage? Because the danger outside might be greater, and your current state might not be able to handle unknown crises?”

After the Old Yellow Bull roared, it intended to ignore the annoying bugs, but the noisy bug voiced its true concern.

The Old Yellow Bull suddenly raised its head, looking toward Ji You.
