The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: One More Big Score!

Surveillance room.

Two rabbits were tragically killed, but as someone accustomed to turbulent situations, Principal Hong’s facial expression remained relatively calm.

The exercise field is neither particularly large nor small; when 100 rabbits were released, except for the few unlucky ones that landed directly in someone’s arms, the rest darted off. Their gray fur quickly disappeared into bushes, thorns, caves...

Where could they go?

rabbits?

Hmm?

Go to sleep.

There are more in dreams.

Inside the surveillance room, all the teachers watched in shock as two rabbits ended up in the stomachs of Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and others.

A teacher from the Academic Affairs Office, seeing the calm demeanor on Principal Hong’s face, thought to himself that he truly is a principal. After a moment, he asked, ”Principal, under these circumstances, should we take any special measures?”

There are rules for the exercise field, but special circumstances can also be treated specially.

This teacher, after many years of experience, has never encountered a student daring enough to roast and eat the props. This was indeed unprecedented.

Principal Hong maintained a stern face and did not respond immediately.

Beside him, another teacher said, ”Suddenly changing the rules isn’t ideal. Besides, these are just kids having some fun, what harm could they possibly cause?” Not to mention, the color and aroma of the rabbit meat they roasted earlier, he could almost taste how delicious it was through the screen.

Aye aye hey~

If he wasn’t stuck in the surveillance room as a teacher, he would have been tempted to catch a rabbit and roast it himself.

As soon as one person spoke, another countered, saying, ”These rabbits were specially approved by the Agriculture Department, and we need to return them after use. Although the department has allowed us a certain casualty rate, what if these kids create too much trouble and the rabbits suffer?”

”How much trouble can a few freshmen really cause? Can they run faster than these rabbits? Can they even find the rabbits?”

”Our rabbits, since being released, have only seen about 30 caught so far, over 70 have disappeared without a trace.”

The teachers each held their own opinions.

”Enough, stop arguing.” After a moment’s thought, Principal Hong raised his hand, saying, ”Let’s just wait and see for now.”

Ha~

It’s just 2 rabbits lost.

Look at these teachers, making a big fuss over small matters.

Really unimaginative.

Principal Hong continued shaking his leg, saying, ”Let’s see just how much trouble these damn things can stir up.”

Beside him, Shen Changqing had been silently sitting on a small stool. He had finished watching his own entire performance and understood how he died. Afterwards, Shen Changqing fell into a long silence.

Seeing the person who killed him coming up with the idea to slaughter rabbits for food, for some unknown reason, Shen Changqing felt a surge of sympathy for the rabbits. Inside the surveillance room, it seemed that both the teachers and Principal Hong were quite optimistic.

Shen Changqing kept silent.

Because he also wanted to see what kind of commotion Ji You, along with Yue Qiguang, Zhou Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan, these five people, could stir up.

Exercise field.

The mountain forest was silent.

Next to a dip in the mountain, five people tiptoed toward a bush where a gray rabbit was resting, but the rabbit was very cautious, to avoid alarming it, Ji You led the group close quietly.

Ji You put a finger to her lips: ”Shush—”

She held out a hand, signaling with her fingers, and as she showed the third finger, Yue Qiguang and Zhou Qiyuan next to her suddenly dashed forward, while Chu Jiaojiao and Sheng Qingyan moved to flank from left and right—

Swoosh—

Startled, the rabbit suddenly sprang up and, catching everyone off guard, jumped onto Yue Qiguang’s head and bounded away.

Vanishing in a flash—

Everyone: ”...”

Silence.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

After a while.

Chu Jiaojiao said irritatedly, ”Catching this rabbit is too difficult! I roamed several mountains just to find one, and it ran away immediately...”

Sheng Qingyan covered her face with her hand: ”I’m so tired, totally exhausted...”

Yue Qiguang was pacing around restlessly.

Yue Qiyuan squatted on the side, not saying a word, but his face also showed a look of defeat.

Ji You looked up at the sky and suddenly asked, ”How many people are still in the drill ground now?”

Yue Qiguang wondered, ”Why do you ask that? Our task now is not to fight those weaklings and fools, but to catch rabbits to eat!” It could be said that he’d lost all interest in bullying the weak; earning those few points wasn’t as satisfying as eating a rabbit.

Moreover, catching one rabbit would score you 10 points.

Chu Jiaojiao urged, ”Are we chasing it or not? The rabbit has run out of sight, are we not chasing anymore?”

Only Yue Qiyuan answered, ”891 people.”

Ji You: ”Eh? That many died?”

Yue Qiyuan explained, ”It’s because of the melee caused by Lou and Shen Changqing’s forces, plus several small groups muddying the waters.”

Large melees are most likely to result in deaths.

Ji You pondered and said, ”Do you think if I keep acting as bait, will anyone still fall for it?”

Upon hearing this, Yue Qiguang scornfully said, ”Do you think they are fools? Previously, they might not know you have a master like me backing you, but now everyone knows we are fishing, who would still be tricked?”

In the past when Ji You was alone and weak, her appearance naturally tempted people to target her. However, after fishing too many times, there were always some who got away and spread the word about Ji You’s and Yue Qiguang’s nefarious deeds in the drill ground, thus now very few fall for it.

Thinking about fishing now?

One word: Hard.

Ji You gave him a sideways glance and smiled slightly, ”So you aren’t foolish either.”

Yue Qiguang: ”Of course—” He suddenly stopped, feeling that saying this was somehow strange, as if he was admitting he was foolish.

Ji You looked at him with a raised eyebrow and a smile, glanced at the others, and suddenly said, ”Fellow students, I’ve made a decision and hope everyone will cooperate with me earnestly.”

Yue Qiguang, impatient, said, ”Just spit it out.”

Chu Jiaojiao, always looking out for benefits, said, ”As long as it’s a good thing, of course, there’s no problem.”

Yue Qiyuan pondered for a while, ”Hmm? What is it?”

Sheng Qingyan pursed her lips, about to speak, when Ji You immediately said, ”I’ve decided to use myself as bait to fish once again.”

Yue Qiguang had an expression that said ’are you dumb’: ”Fishing again?”

Ji You smiled, ”Of course.”

Yue Qiyuan asked, ”What’s the plan?”

Ji You, looking at the sky, said, ”This time, we are not fishing for people, we are fishing for rabbits!”

Everyone: ”???”

While everyone was befuddled and clueless, Yue Qiguang mocked without any politeness, ”Are you dumb? Do you think you can just fish for rabbits whenever you want?”

Ji You ignored him, looked at the other three, and asked, ”So tell me, are you in?”

Chu Jiaojiao & Sheng Qingyan & Yue Qiyuan chorused: ”In!”
