The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: A Candy Bean

Suddenly—

Ji You had a strange feeling; she sensed the presence of her spiritual filaments. They didn’t appear before her eyes, nor in reality. She didn’t need to close her eyes and feel them in her mind, but she just clearly knew they were actively swinging around her—

It seemed that they existed in a virtual space entirely different from reality.

Ji You carefully sensed her six spiritual filaments, thick and strong like giant pythons, filling the entire virtual space, moving vibrantly, shaking their heads and tails, roaming around...

They were just—too fat.

When they moved, they felt very clumsy; the thickest one suddenly leapt into the high air of the virtual space, just moved, and then unexpectedly fell from midair.

Ji You: ”...”

Stupid!

Really stupid!

Then—

Ji You found it odd, didn’t Dr. Luo say during the inspection that it’s difficult for people to sense their spiritual filaments in the real world, and only by using special machinery for detection, like the professional machine she lay in that day? It is said that the machine is very expensive; the one at the school was even obtained by Principal Hong in exchange for his own efforts.

So—

What is happening to me now?

Suddenly—

Clang—

Ji You took a hard punch. She wiped her nose and found that the Little Robot had punched out her nosebleed—this vendetta must be avenged!

Ji You clenched her teeth, glaring fiercely at the Little Robot.

Unafraid of Ji You’s threatening gaze, the Little Robot, according to the system’s analysis, quickly anticipated Ji You’s style of attack, immediately raised its mechanical arm to block Ji You’s flying kick, and as Ji You was about to change speed, from offense to defense, it lifted its mechanical leg and kicked hard towards Ji You’s butt—

Suddenly—

The mechanical leg of the Little Robot stalled, and the entire body wobbled.

Ji You rolled on the spot, rolling out of the attack range, and the moment the Little Robot was about to recover, she immediately whipped out her second spiritual filament, slamming it hard on the Little Robot’s square head. The Little Robot’s two glowing electronic eyes suddenly flickered, went dark, and its body slightly wobbled again—

Ji You flew up with a kick, fiercely kicking the Little Robot’s square butt: ”You keep kicking my butt, kick then! Daddy is waiting for you to get up and kick again!”

Then—

The Little Robot really got up, and as Ji You was feeling smug, it swung its fist, smashing hard on Ji You’s cheek.

Ji You: ”...”

”Why are you so obedient?” Ji You screamed pitifully as she ran, ”Daddy told you not to chase, why don’t you listen? You tell me...” She suddenly turned back and fiercely whipped her third spiritual filament at the Little Robot.

The entire body of the Little Robot trembled once, pausing momentarily.

Ji You immediately seized the opportunity, kicked at its energy box, and as the electronic sound of the Little Robot instantly cleared up, Ji You pulled out her fourth spiritual filament—

However, it wasn’t successful this time, Ji You unguarded, got her cheeks punched again.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was stupefied.

Hardening her heart, Ji You abruptly lashed out her fifth and sixth spiritual filaments, one after the other without a pause, the Little Robot’s body began to wobble, Ji You lifted her foot, kicking the Little Robot down successfully, feeling a momentary relief: ”You rascal! Don’t you know not to hit the face when beating someone?”

From a distance, watching the training ground, Mu Jianling’s expression suddenly became stern, he rushed over quickly, loudly saying: ”Stop.”

Ji You pulled back her foot aimed at the Little Robot’s square butt, awkwardly laughed trying to justify herself: ”Teacher Mu, it started by hitting my face, my butt first, and I strongly suggest: not hitting the face should be programmed into all robots.”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Mu Jianling smiled slightly: ”It’s no use suggesting it to me; you should make the suggestion to the Robot Management Association.”

”Ah... I’ll try writing a proposal later.” Ji You pointed to her own face, bitterly smiling: ”Teacher Mu, do you think I can still show my face in public?”

”The Little Robot’s heart is too cruel... A girl’s face, that’s her storefront!”

”It keeps hitting my face, teacher, shouldn’t you do something to protect your student?”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Almost led astray, Mu Jianling took a deep breath and said, ”Repeat the Spiritual Attack method you just used.”

Ji You, with a hint of noticeable pride, said, ”Teacher, I’m really smart, right? I can now split the Spiritual Silk and attack individually. Just now, how long did I disturb the Little Robot? Was it 1 second?”

So-called micro-control, is actually precise control over one’s own Spiritual Silk. Ji You just had a flash of inspiration, thinking why not split the Spiritual Silk into individual strands?

So, she tried it.

Unexpectedly, it worked.

Mu Jianling ignored her boasting, and said seriously: ”Repeat your attack just now.”

Ji You: ”Oh~ okay.”

One time isn’t enough?

She could repeat it at least six times!

Humph~

Then—

Ji You found the situation a bit embarrassing.

The six giant pythons in the Virtual Space were all limp, lying on the ground motionless.

Ji You spurred them to work.

They all just quietly lay there, not taking orders, only the thickest one lazily extended its head—a token gesture.

Ji You was so annoyed.

Mu Jianling sensed something was off, ”What’s the matter?”

Ji You forced a smile, ”Well...teacher... it must be because my spiritual power is depleted. I can’t use it anymore.”—It definitely wasn’t because my Spiritual Silk won’t obey, it must be because they’re fatigued!

Yes!

That’s it.

Hearing this, Mu Jianling’s brow furrowed slightly, and suddenly pulled something out of his Space Button and threw it to Ji You: ”Eat this.”

”What is it?” Ji You caught it and laughed upon seeing it: It was a Candy Bean, about the size of a peanut, which was actually the ingredient inside, wrapped in a layer of syrup.

Mu Jianling said, ”Peanut Butterfly Honey Candy.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, as if fearing that Teacher Mu would change his mind, she swiftly stuffed the candy bean into her mouth and chewed—

In less than 2 seconds, she quickly swallowed it down.

After finishing, Ji You wiped her mouth, her face full of anticipation, ”Teacher Mu, I finished it, is there any more?”

Mu Jianling waited until she had really finished eating, then slowly said, ”One for 50,000 credit points, I don’t offer credit.”

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling said, ”Hurry up and pay!”

Ji You tasted bitterness in her mouth, ”Teacher, isn’t this forced selling? Who does it like you.”

Mu Jianling’s lips curled and suddenly kicked Ji You’s butt, scolding: ”Hurry up and run! You ate one of my High-level Candy Beans and still want to lounge here like a dead pig, let me tell you, you must successfully disturb the Little Robot 10 times within an hour, otherwise don’t think about leaving the training ground alive.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You felt a chill down her spine: Teacher Mu has such a ruthless heart.

Then—

She quickly started running, and also discovered that her six lazy Spiritual Silk, after eating the Candy Beans, seemed to have resurrected on the spot, not only that, but they also seemed to have become slightly thicker.

Must be an illusion, right?
