The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Cheng the Bootlicker

Cheng Yu’s live stream room exploded in viewer numbers—

million—

million—

million—

...

Cheng Yu’s smile grew bigger and more strained... If he didn’t succeed this time, Cheng Yu would lose major face.

Viewer: ”Tao Xiaobao, are you trying to stir things up?”

Cheng Yu replied seriously: ”Please call me Ah Da, Tao Xiaobao no longer exists in this world.”

Viewer covering eyes: ”...Alright, but can you change your clothes?” Wearing this women’s outfit, who are you trying to torture? It’s plainly spicy to the eyes.

Seeing the effect achieved, and greatly beyond expectations, this viewer count had already peaked his live streaming career, Cheng Yu decided not to torture the viewers and himself anymore, and swiftly changed his clothes.

Only then did the viewers uncover their eyes.

Viewer: ”Ah Da, tell us, what’s really going on?”

Cheng Yu had a hint of a smile, his gaze wandering among the audience... Could any of them be the hidden true form of the Master?

Would the Master be satisfied with all this?

The Master must be very satisfied.

Comforting himself, Cheng Yu cleared his throat and said, ”As I mentioned earlier, I made a very serious mistake in my last live stream. The grass seed fruit pendant I identified as an art piece, it’s actually not an art piece, but—”

Well-versed in stirring the atmosphere, Cheng Yu stopped speaking at the critical moment.

Viewers got anxious: ”But what is it?”

second.

seconds.

seconds.

”Cough cough...” Cheng Yu cleared his throat, hinting with his words: ”Iron Bros, hit that double-click!” Although he wanted to catch the attention of the Master and gain the Master’s favor, as a Star Network host, he still had to make a living—

Viewer: ”...”

”Fine.”

”Here you go.”

”With your antics, if we don’t, you might spice up our eyes again.”

Helplessly, the viewers not only double-clicked but many also generously gifted Cheng Yu with presents...

Seeing his popularity and income soar, Cheng Yu laughed until his eyes disappeared, then loudly declared: ”This grass seed fruit is not just an art collectible, it’s a soul artifact meticulously crafted by a Soul Artifact Master!!!”

As soon as these words came out, the viewers instantly widened their eyes: ”!!!”

The entire live stream room fell into dead silence for a moment—

After a while,

someone spoke: ”Ah Da, it’s okay to play around, but don’t joke about the Master!”

”Right! When it comes to the Master, don’t joke around!”

”Ah Da, don’t just spout nonsense! Be careful the Master might come after you!”

”Ah Da, we’ll pretend we didn’t hear that, where are we going treasure hunting today—come on, bring the bros along!”

”...”

Seeing the disbelief from everyone, Cheng Yu wasn’t flustered at all, he even revealed a confident smile, looked around, still not spotting any sign of the Master, slightly disappointed, Cheng Yu said: ”Everyone, don’t panic, let me explain slowly—”

Saying so—

Cheng Yu took out the prepared grass seed fruit necklace and presented it for everyone to see. Moreover, recalling the grass seed fruit that he had accidentally smashed, a regretful expression flashed in his eyes as he spoke:

”Look—”

”The Master has uniquely infused his craftsmanship by not making a separate Array Formation Diagram; instead, he directly used spiritual power to embed it into the carvings on the grass seed, each stroke seemingly effortless and carefree, yet outlining a complete Array Diagram, look here, here, and here...”

”This flower, this grass, this branch, this leaf... On the surface, they are carvings, they are scenery, but in reality, they are arrays!”

”Wonderful!”

”Indeed wonderful!”

As Cheng Yu explained, his admiration was continuous.

Why do Soul Devices have the ability to enhance spiritual power? In reality, it is because there forms a natural structure within the Soul Device, which humans call the ’Array Diagram’. The structure of the Array Diagram is usually stable, capable of consolidating and stabilizing spiritual power, allowing spiritual power to automatically form a cycle within this structure map. When humans wear or use it, this continuous cycle of spiritual power can have a nourishing effect, thus effectively enhancing human spiritual power.

A Natural Soul Device is a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure from nature that has been continuously refined over countless time and by sheer coincidence, a natural array forms inside, making it a Soul Device.

This is truly a testament to nature’s grand creation!

Hence, Natural Soul Devices are immensely valuable and once available, they incite frantic scrambles among countless people.

What about man-made Soul Devices? The principle behind man-made Soul Devices is the same as that of natural ones, but they are not polished by nature. Instead, a soul artifact maker employs their own forging technique and the Array Formation Diagram they control, to strip their own spiritual power, then re-consolidate and compress it into the array, eventually encapsulating it in a suitable material to generate a cycle—

This job, simple in principle, is very very difficult to master. Firstly, to create a Soul Device, one must possess extremely high spiritual power; C-level can’t do it, B-level is utterly out, even A-level shouldn’t dream about it, only those with S-level spiritual power can barely manage to make one.

Yes.

It’s S-level.

Only those with S-level spiritual power can barely make one, but to truly become a soul artifact maker, even those with SS-level spiritual power must dedicate countless efforts, arduously studying and experimenting, in order to successfully create a Soul Device.

And, most of the time, man-made Soul Devices, due to their unstable Array Diagram structure, simply cannot be used long-term, so after a period of use, their structure will break apart, collapsing...

Thus, man-made Soul Devices are mostly short-term consumables.

Across the entire Interstellar Alliance, including the neighboring Galaxy Empire, Blue Light United States... Among trillions of people, less than a thousand can make Soul Devices!

These less than a thousand soul artifact makers are the treasures of humanity, revered as Masters, admired by all—

As Cheng Yu explained bit by bit, the audience was astounded.

This—

This—

This—

Is this really a Master?

Such a supremely esteemed Master, to open a small shop on the Star Network?

Are you kidding me?

Cheng Yu continued his string of praises, ”My Ah Da today is doing all this to rehabilitate the Master! The Master’s imaginative genius is simply striking! Master’s skill is truly comparable to superb craftsmanship...

The Master’s—”

...

Then, Cheng Yu went on and on, spending merely a few minutes but using nearly thousands of words to praise this Master!

His every sentence, simply made the audience’s teeth ache:

At the same time, everyone also understood.

Ah Da isn’t just rehabilitating the Master’s name, this is an excuse to fanatically be the Master’s bootlicker!

Shameless!

Too shameless!

There exists such a shameless person in the world!

Despicable!

No!

Can’t let Ah Da monopolize all the glory!
