The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Never Bully a Poor Youth

Dislocated elbow, half-limp leg, face swollen like a pig’s head, dragging her broken body, Ji You — who refused to go to the infirmary first for treatment — upon seeing the two pieces of braised pork ribs + soup in her plate...

Felt it was all worth it!

People despise her for being ugly?

If being ugly comes with pork ribs and soup mixed with rice... She’d rather be ugly for a lifetime.

That’s right.

That’s how little ambition Ji You has.

In the crowded cafeteria, filled with people, because one hand was crippled, Ji You could only hold the tray with one hand, walking with a hunch, extremely cautious, afraid that she would spill the food and then it would be all over.

Ji You, with sharp eyes, spotted an empty seat ahead, and just as she thought about heading over, a boy took the spot before her, sitting down and even gave Ji You a smug face.

Ji You, with a straight face, rightfully said: ”Bullying a cripple, don’t you feel ashamed?”

At that moment, someone yelled: ”Ji You, student number 4444, please come here, there’s a seat available.”

Oh my!

There are still good people around.

Ji You turned her head and indeed there was an empty seat, she hurriedly sat down, smiling and said ”Thank you, fellow student, you are a good person.”

Yue Qiguang displeased: ”Louise Carter, why did you call this freak here? Seeing her face, I’ll lose my appetite.”

Ji You: ”...”

She then realized, this table was filled with influential figures of the 131st freshman class:

Chu Jiaojiao.

Shen Changqing.

Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiyuan.

Louise Carter.

Lance Yuri.

...

Even Sheng Qingyan was there!

What’s going on?

Feels like this group is discussing something very important.

Chu Jiaojiao looked at Ji You’s face, shook her head: ”Student Ji You, promise me, after you finish eating, go to the infirmary to treat your face, okay?”

Ji You shook her head: ”Face? Just a shell, not important.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Jiaojiao turned away, back facing Ji You.

Ji You: ”What for?”

Chu Jiaojiao yingyingying said: ”Can’t eat looking at you.”

Ji You: ”...”

Not just Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan... all silently turned around, back facing Ji You, only Shen Changqing remained unfazed.

Ji You was deeply moved, just about to say something from the heart, suddenly heard Shen Changqing say: ”No matter, I’ve finished eating.”

Ji You: ”...”

All the heartfelt stuff, go to hell!

Ji You silently put down the tray, looking up to find a table full of big fish and meat, only her own was tofu mixed with scallions...

”Pfft~”

”Poor ghost!”

Yue Qiguang scooped a mouthful of rice, mouth full of juice, still not forgetting to mock Ji You.

Ji You glanced at the big pieces of meat in front of him, desperately calming herself down, then picked up her chopsticks, slowly taking a bite of tofu into her mouth, indifferently said: ”Don’t bully the young poor, haven’t you heard?”

Yue Qiguang opened his mouth to retort, next to him Yue Qiyuan casually interjected: ”Stop bullying the poor, it’s meaningless, let’s focus on the important matters. By the way—” he looked at Louise Carter, asked: ”Lou, how many people have you found?”

Lou replied: ”All the S-class Talents from our batch agreed to join us. Including you guys, ten in total, just enough.”

Shen Changqing spoke, ”Ten isn’t enough, at least 5-6 substitutes are needed to compete in this kind of competition.”

Lou replied: ”Then let’s pull a few more in. Shen Changqing, you must have some suitable candidates to recommend, right?”

”Yes,” Shen Changqing nodded: ”I’ll handle this.”

Lou said: ”Alright, have everyone get online tonight, let’s start coordinating first.”

Nearby, Chu Jiaojiao, who had been eating and drinking and seemingly not bothered, suddenly interrupted, ”Hey hey... I don’t care what you guys are discussing, I just want to know how much reward I would get if we win!”

Obviously, she was only interested in the rewards.

Yue Qiyuan pondered for a moment and replied, ”As long as the team enters the finals, all members together will split 5000 points and a reward of 1 million credit points! The champion team will get an additional reward of 50,000 points and 5 million credit points. You do the math yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao thought it was pretty good and straightforwardly said, ”Okay! I’m in.”

Ji You’s hand holding the chopsticks paused:

What?

points? 1 million credit points?

And for winning the championship, an additional 50,000 points and 5 million credit points?

Ji You’s eyes lit up instantly, ”What competition? Count me in!”

Everyone: ”...”

Yue Qiguang glanced at her disdainfully, ”Daddy doesn’t bring the disabled to play.”

Yue Qiyuan said softly, ”Too weak, can’t handle it.”

Chu Jiaojiao soothingly said, ”Be good, Ji You. When I win the competition, I’ll buy you a beauty device to fix your face.”

Ji You: ”...”

These folks are hopeless. Ji You turned her head, staring seriously at Shen Changqing, hoping that this honest person would say something humane.

Shen Changqing was silent for a while and then said, ”Our standard is at least Double A and above.”

Ji You: ”...”

That hits hard.

Honest words hurt even more.

Ji You looked at Lou and Lance, both of whom turned their faces away. Lou seemed to feel sorry and explained, ”Ji You, it’s not that we don’t want to include you, it’s just not suitable.”

Ji You: ”Yingyingying...”

Sheng Qingyan, who was indifferent to the matter, shoveled a mouthful of rice and then said, ”Going to the competition sounds so boring... Having to train every day after class is so tiring, really no fun at all... I recently found a very interesting shop, it’s opened by a Soul Artifact Master... Little Cutie, wanna play with me? I’ll take you to the Master’s shop to wait for new arrivals...”

Hearing this constant ”oh,” Ji You couldn’t continue her whine.

Chu Jiaojiao covered her ears: ”Shut up! Keep shouting and I’ll cut your throat!”

Scolded by Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan pouted, saying sulkily, ”Humph~ everyone is bullying me... I’m not eating anymore...”

With that, she picked up her meal tray and left.

Watching Sheng Qingyan twisting her waist and leaving with seductive posture, everyone was somewhat speechless.

Lou looked at Shen Changqing, puzzled, ”The school isn’t lacking in Double A’s, why do we absolutely need him?” Clearly referring to Sheng Qingyan.

Shen Changqing said, ”He’s actually very strong, just a bit lazy.”

Lou disbelieving: ”Strong?”

Shen Changqing said, ”When he gets serious, you might not be his match.”

Lance protested: ”Impossible!”

Before Shen Changqing could reply, Chu Jiaojiao glanced at the two men with a displeased face, ”With your simple minds and well-developed limbs being S-rank, he has beaten 4 of them! How about, do you want to try challenging him?”

Lou and Lance looked at each other in surprise.

Ji You was also shocked:

Little Cutie, that guy? Beaten four S-ranks?

Impossible.

Seeing the astonishment of the two, Shen Changqing kindly explained, ”I told you he’s very strong, he’s just too lazy.”

- Or rather, for things he’s not interested in, he doesn’t bother at all.

Even attending school was forced by his family kicking him here! Otherwise — a Double A like Sheng Qingyan would never end up paying for classes on his own.

While everyone was eating and chatting, Ji You, still not fully understanding, learned one thing:

Joining this team and winning could bring a lot of points and credit points rewards!

She was tempted!

After eating, Yue Qiyuan instructed, ”Meet up on Star Network at 7:30 later!”

Everyone: ”Okay!”

Ji You hurriedly said, ”Bosses, take me with you! I’m really strong! I’m really strong!”

Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... all ran away in a flash.

Ji You chased after them, unwilling to give up, shouting, ”Hey!!! If you don’t take me with you, you’ll regret it!!! You’ll definitely regret it!!!”
