The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Interference Successful

Training ground.

As soon as Ji You left Teacher Mu Jianling, her face turned grim. In her Spiritual World, the Six Strands obediently lay prone as if waiting for a leader’s inspection, each looking extremely poised—but Ji You was unmoved. Her eyes cold, she gritted her teeth and said, ”Who just slacked off? Step forward on your own.” She wanted all six to attack together, to succeed in one go, but they only succeeded 5 times. Surely, someone was slacking.

As soon as her words landed, five of the Strands raised their heads and pointed at the Fourth.

The Fourth was a bit slow to react, but it was clever. Not only did it refuse to admit its fault, but it also shifted the blame to Old Five, who was beside it.

Old Five, wrongfully accused, shook its head desperately to prove its innocence.

Seeing this, how could Ji You be fooled? She angrily said, ”Fourth! It’s always you stirring up trouble!” This Fourth Strand, although slimmer than the others, was sly, never straightforward.

Caught, the Fourth immediately drooped its head.

Ji You scolded, ”Don’t think you can frame Old Five and I won’t find out! This isn’t the first time you’ve been dishonest. Last time, you didn’t work hard and caused me to get beaten by the Little Robot. And now you dare to slack off again? You think I can’t handle you?”

The Fourth shrank its neck, trying to act cute.

Ji You said coldly and mercilessly, ”I’m not falling for that! Now, you are forbidden from eating anything for three days. Boss, Second, Third, Old Five, Sixth, you all keep an eye on it. Even if it steals something and swallows it, you must dig it out of its belly for me!”

How... fierce.

The Fourth was thoroughly frightened.

The other five Strands suddenly perked up, especially Boss which even started circling around Fourth as if mocking and teaching it a lesson.

Fourth curled up, treating itself as good as dead.

Ji You didn’t care about that, she loudly said, ”From now on, all six of you monitor each other. Whoever finds someone slacking off behind my back, report to me immediately. I’ll reward the whistleblower with tasty Butterfly Honey!”

[Thinking of slacking off?

Hmph~

I don’t believe I can’t get you under control.

With this reporting group set up, let’s see who dares to slack off from now on.]

Wow~

As soon as Ji You declared this, all six Strands became spirited, standing bold and imposing. Even Fourth suddenly got a burst of energy, puffing out its chest.

Ji You instantly understood; her Spiritual Strands weren’t overly exhausted before, they were just lazily refusing to work hard.

It seems—

I can squeeze them even harder from now on.

Ji·Hard-hearted·Skinflint·You, she thought secretly.

During the escape, the Little Robot persistently chased her. Ji You’s Physical Strength and attack power were no match for the Little Robot, but she had the Spiritual Silk to spur on, didn’t she? With a command in the Spiritual World, immediately, the Little Robot flipped.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

...

Six times total, every interference successful.

Ji You intently watched, her expression solemn. Once an interference succeeded, she didn’t hesitate and punched straight at the Little Robot’s head—

Crack—

After a faint snapping sound, the Little Robot’s body wobbled, trying to analyze, but suddenly its system showed scrambled data, unable to read—

”Alert~”

”Chip maliciously damaged, activating spare chip.”

”Spare chip successfully booted, preparing to counterattack.”

The entire process took probably less than 5 seconds. As soon as Ji You succeeded, she couldn’t help but feel secretly thrilled and was about to show off to Teacher Mu, when she saw the Little Robot quickly returning to normal, continuing to launch fierce attacks on her.

Ji You had no choice but to flee in embarrassment.

Maybe it was the threat, or maybe the fear of being reported—all of Ji You’s Spiritual Strands dared not slack off again, each working hard. Within one hour, Ji You successfully disrupted the Little Robot 12 times.

Even Mu Jianling was astounded.

Ji You stopped, breathing heavily, and looked at Mu Jianling with a smug face, asking, ”Teacher Mu, did you time me just now? I stacked up 6 interferences, how long did I disrupt in total?”

She guessed, to reach the duration of half an hour that Teacher Mu aimed for, how long much she train to achieve it?

It must be said, Ji You had no real skills, but she was bold, gutsy, and thick-skinned.

Mu Jianling stared at Ji You, his expression incredibly complex.

This creature?

Is he really useless?

Or?

Is a spiritual power mutation really that special?

Mu Jianling fell silent.

After a few seconds, she said, ”0.6 seconds.”

”That much?” Ji You was surprised, ”Can I actually disrupt for 0.6 seconds now? So, if Six Strands are fired together each time for 0.6 seconds, if I train hard and aim for ten occurrences of Six Strands, doesn’t that mean I have 6 seconds? And 100 occurrences of Six Strands, wouldn’t that be 60 seconds?”

Oh my~

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

Mu Jianling solemnly said, ”You can try. From now, let’s set that as your training goal.”

Ji You: ”...”

Does that mean I have to keep sparring with the Little Robot? And keep getting beaten by the Little Robot?

Ji You quickly said, ”Teacher Mu, can we discuss this? Maybe switch to a different device or even a different person, sparring with the Little Robot all the time, for a genius like me, I feel it’s quite disgraceful...”

”Oh—” Mu Jianling drew out her tone, ”Do you want me to call Chu Jiaojiao to spar with you?”

”No no no no...”

”How can that be?”

”Isn’t that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?”

”I might as well continue my love-hate relationship with the Little Robot.” Ji You initially meant to find someone in the Combat Department weaker than her aside from herself, but there wasn’t anyone below B-class, so it was a bit tricky—

Maybe, simply ask the teacher to fetch someone from another department who’s E-class or D-class to give it a try.

Chu Jiaojiao?

This violent maniac, able to punch through a normal alloy wall, to let her be my sparring partner?

Forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Can’t afford it.

Mu Jianling: ”Hmph.”

Ji You, observing her expression, asked softly, ”Teacher, do you still have any more of those Candy Beans? I feel if I have another, I can perform even better.”

Candy Beans made from High-level Butterfly Honey.

That’s not something money can buy.

Besides—

These Candy Beans, aren’t they worth way more than 50,000 credit points?

Mu Jianling glanced at her and said faintly, ”Is that so—”

Oh no!

Ji You suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately yelled out loud, ”Teacher, pretend I didn’t say anything just now, pretend I farted, oh my!” She pinched her nose, shrieked, and backed away, ”Why is this fart so smelly? How uncivilized am I? Punish me to stay at least 50 meters away from the teacher, no—make that at least 100 meters.”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Mu Jianling raised her hand and pulled Ji You back, saying, ”What you said indeed was a fart, but about the money you owe me, when do you plan to return it?”

Ji You struggled continuously and slowly pleaded her case, ”Teacher, didn’t you just say it was enough if I complete the training target on time?”

Mu Jianling eyed her, ”I only said completing the target on time means no punishment, I didn’t say your debt would be waived.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You tried to cheer up, gave a pleasing smile at Mu Jianling, and said, ”We’re like brothers, let’s not sweat the small stuff, okay?”

Mu Jianling: ”Hm?”

Ji You quickly changed her wording, ”Like father and son?”

Mu Jianling’s face darkened.

Ji You piled on a smile, said, ”Like mentor and disciple?”

Mu Jianling snorted loudly, ”Dare to spout nonsense again, and it’s double!”

Ji You didn’t dare anymore and wisely shut her mouth.
