The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: How Did You Get So Ugly?

Ji You somewhat understood now. When Teacher Mu spoke to her just now, he actually wanted her to utilize the advantage of having 100% completion with Spiritual Silk, continuously strengthen this advantage, develop its functions to the maximum extent possible, and create more uses for it.

For example, the little robot’s disruption mentioned just now, she could completely rely on a second’s worth of disturbance to destroy the robot’s core chip and cut off its power supply...

Or, when fighting enemies, she could pretend to be weak while taking advantage of the enemy’s relaxation to burst out with spiritual power to disrupt the enemy’s actions, then immediately escape or counterattack!

Even, she could...

...

In any case, how to use it and how to develop it further would require continuous training.

But the more she thought about it, the brighter Ji You’s eyes shone!

She believed that she could definitely carve out a unique and bright path for herself with this advantage.

Mu Jianling looked at the spirited Ji You and felt inexplicably better, saying, ”Training in spiritual power is actually about exercising its micro-control. Just now, after disrupting the little robot three times, your spiritual power was exhausted, because your method of using it was incorrect. Your total spiritual threshold is only 120, but after just disrupting the little robot three times, you exhausted all 120 points of spiritual power—that’s foolish!”

”When you’re on the battlefield and use up your spiritual power in one instance, will the enemy politely wait for your spiritual power to recover before killing you?”

”No! I assure you, by the time your spiritual power has recovered, the enemy would have already killed you hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of times.”

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling continued, ”What’s called micro-control, is your control over Spiritual Silk and the spiritual power threshold. When your Spiritual Silk can successfully disrupt the little robot 70 times, 80 times, or even 100 times with the limited 120 spiritual power threshold, and on average each time only uses a few points, then you can be considered truly formidable.”

Ji You with her mouth agape: ”Can I... can I achieve that?”

Mu Jianling smiled and said, ”I don’t know, I’m very much looking forward to your performance.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You was immensely excited. She thought carefully and even came up with a whimsical idea: ”Teacher, if, I mean if, as long as my micro-control ability is strong, is it possible that with my Spiritual Silk, each time I only use 1 point of spiritual power to disrupt the little robot for 1 second, and then I continue without stopping, disrupting it 10 times, 8 times, maybe even 100 times, 120 times, wouldn’t that mean I could effectively achieve 100 seconds? Maybe even 120 seconds?”

A 1-second limit?

But—the number of overlaid times is more than just 1 second!

Ji You inexplicably felt a surge of immense confidence in herself! She believed she could definitely do it.

If not, then train.

Train until it is done.

If not in one year, then two years, if not in two years, then one hundred years, two hundred years, as long as she’s alive, she will definitely achieve it!

Mu Jianling’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.

Huh?

She figured out how to apply this so quickly?

Not bad.

Really not bad.

Thus, the look Mu Jianling gave Ji You became more and more kind and affectionate. Since the student was so passionate and confident, why should he dampen her spirits? She simply didn’t know how naive this idea was, and how difficult it would be to succeed... But a child needs to hit a wall once to learn to turn back, right? So, Mu Jian voiced, ”That’s a wonderful thought! I am looking forward to the day you realize it.”

Upon hearing Teacher Mu Jianling’s words, Ji You’s eyes lit up completely:

The teacher didn’t refute or mock her, which meant her idea was feasible.

Ji You became even happier.

Suddenly—

Mu Jianling tapped the screen, pointing to the timer, and said, ”Alright, the time for answering questions is up, continue with your training, no leaving until you complete one hour of training.”

As his words fell, the immobilized little robot resumed its attack on Ji You, who, dragging her almost crippled legs, hurriedly ran away—

At that moment, Ji You realized that the little robot’s previous inaction wasn’t due to being paused, but rather Teacher Mu Jianling had directly disrupted it with his spiritual power, making it temporarily inactive.— How immense must the spiritual power control be to achieve such an effect?

Inspired by this, Ji You suddenly felt a sense of direction, feeling that even if she could only disrupt the Little Robot for one second, she would make that second count!

So, training didn’t feel hard at all to her.

With renewed interest, Ji You, dragging her nearly wrecked body, continued to battle with the Little Robot. This time, she understood the principle of fine control and didn’t foolishly exhaust her spiritual power threshold.

Then—

From then on, she never managed to successfully disrupt the Little Robot again.

The Little Robot caught her and unleashed a furious assault.

Ji You screamed continuously.

The Little Robot showed no mercy, relentlessly beating her despite her howls and wails—

Ji You kept running away, from lasting 5 minutes before being caught, to only lasting 30 seconds—there was no helping it, her physical strength couldn’t keep up. Even with all her cunning thoughts and tricks up her sleeve, she couldn’t utilize them against the robot.

She couldn’t remember how many times she was beaten, how much suffering she endured—

Finally, the class bell rang.

Saved at last...

”Yingyingying~” Ji You grimaced, struggled up from the ground, and said to Mu Jianling, ”Teacher, may I go have lunch now?”

Mu Jianling nodded.

In a flash, Ji You dashed far away, quickly disappearing from sight.

Mu Jianling: ”...”

It seems this mischievous kid still had some energy left.

No good, I must intensify the training next time.

Ji You ran swiftly; it wasn’t that she had energy to spare, she was completely driven by a foodie’s strong belief to run—if she knew her actions caused Teacher Mu Jianling to misunderstand, she might just cry to death.

School cafeteria.

Crowded and bustling.

Ji You didn’t go to any other counter to get food but headed straight for Senior Shi Ya’s, wondering if she was there this time?

Just as she thought about it, a burst of roaring laughter erupted nearby: ”Hahaha... Idiot, did you just run out of a pig farm? How did you end up looking like that?”

—It was Yue Qiguang.

Ji You with a dark face, ”Looking for death?”

Yue Qiguang got interested, ”Come on... Daddy just wants to try what it feels like to beat up an idiot.”

Ji You’s teeth clenched with a grit, ”...Not interested!”

Yue Qiguang: ”Coward!”

Chu Jiaojiao, just happening to pass by with a meal tray, and seeing Ji You dragging a limp leg, looking like she broke an arm, with bruises all over her body and her eye sockets all black and blue, got scared and exclaimed, ”Classmate! How did you get so ugly?”

Ji You: ”...”

Girl, that hits hard.

Watch your words.

This person—

Strangely looks familiar.

Chu Jiaojiao twisted her neck, scrutinizing Ji You from left to right, finally recognizing that it was indeed Ji You, her shock turning to horror: ”Ji You, how did you become so ugly?”
