The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Holding Something Back

Chu Jiaojiao opened her eyes, full of anticipation: ”Ji You, do you want to punch me again?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was defeated.

Really, she felt that even a Level 12 typhoon wouldn’t be as terrifying as a face-hugging dog.

Ji You retreated in panic.

Piloting her Small Mecha, she circulated around causing trouble for a dozen or so Mechas, until she finally encountered Yue Qiyuan piloting the Light Armor Wind Wing in a narrow path.

Ji You, watching Yue Qiyuan expertly pilot the Wind Wing, whether walking, jumping, or running, hesitated: Should she temporarily retreat or confront him head-on?

Yue Qiyuan’s gaze fixed on Ji You’s Small Mecha, his eyes lighting up:

[Is this Small Mecha suitable as the first cannon fodder for practice?]

After training for half the day, Yue Qiyuan had finally gotten used to the weapon systems and frankly, he was very eager to test it.

The impatient Yue Qiyuan stopped hesitating and fired a tentative shot at Ji You’s Small Mecha. In the training area, all real weapon systems were deactivated, so the shot fired was merely a simulated Particle Cannon. It seemed potent but was, in fact, harmless.

Before Yue Qiyuan’s cannon fired, Ji You was already prepared and dodged instantly.

Huh?

She dodged?

Yue Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, then his interest piqued. This time, he aimed at the Small Mecha’s energy storage and decisively fired a second round!

Boom——

Ji You felt a tingling on her scalp, sensing the sixth sense of a wild beast focusing on her. It was very dangerous and hard to avoid, but—

It wasn’t impossible to dodge.

However—

After frantically dodging, Ji You – with eyeballs whirling – suddenly shouted loudly: ”Yue Qiyuan, why are you shooting at me? I’m just passing by.”

Huh?

Number 4444?

Since it’s her, there’s even more reason to hit.

Thus, without making a sound, Yue Qiyuan immediately fired the third round.

Seeing his posture, Ji You knew he wasn’t going to sit down and negotiate. If you act on the first, don’t blame me for retaliating double. As she dodged the third missile, she suddenly darted into the surrounding Mechas.

Boom——

A loud explosion scattered several nearby Mechas in all directions, knocking down a large swathe.

”Fuck!”

”Fuck!”

”Who is it?”

”Who is this idiot firing randomly?”

”Come out right now!”

...

In the crowd of Mechas, the Small Mecha piloted by number 4444 had already disappeared. Yue Qiyuan was well aware that though number 4444’s strength was weak, her ability to escape was top-notch. He promptly activated the tracking system and sent out a pursuit for number 4444.

Seizing the moment when the crowd was agitated—

Ji You suddenly emerged from the pile of Mechas, and with a complaint said pitifully: ”Yue Qiyuan, have you no shame? It’s one thing to hit me out of the blue, but to even attack other classmates...”

Students around: ”Fuck! It’s Yue Qiyuan!”

Yue Qiyuan’s brow twitched.

The students looked closer, and sure enough, they saw that the Wind Wing’s cannon was still emitting a whiff of smoke!

There’s no doubt about it.

He did it.

Ji You, hidden in the crowd, indignantly exclaimed: ”Taking advantage of being an S-rank to bully everyone? Fellow classmates, let’s gang up! Spit and nails! If we can’t beat him to death, let’s drown him in saliva!”

As her words fell, she charged first, wielding a Big Saber, and viciously chopped towards the left side of Yue Qiyuan’s Wind Wing.

Clang—

Missed.

But—

Led by Ji You, no student hesitated any longer, and they swarmed towards Yue Qiyuan.

Yue Qiyuan turned around and ran.

He was piloting the Wind Wing, which was known for its speed. As he started running, various models of Mecha rushed to catch up, and chaos erupted on the scene...

Ji You took advantage of the crowd, blended in, and from time to time, caused some trouble for Yue Qiyuan and the Mechas fighting in the brawl—

And boy, was it effective.

At least—

The twenty-something Mechas that were ganging up on Yue Qiyuan gradually, and unknowingly, increased to thirty, forty, fifty...

The scene became more and more chaotic.

”Damn!”

”Who chopped my leg?”

”Damn!”

”Who hit my head?”

”Damn!”

”Which blind fool dares to ambush from behind?”

”Damn! My energy system actually broke down.”

”Damn, my Mecha is smoking!”

”Hey! Don’t just slash and bomb randomly! You’re hitting friendlies.”

...

The scene was as chaotic as it could get.

As for the main culprit Yue Qiyuan, under the chaos, he was ’beaten to death’ a long time ago. Although Yue Qiyuan was one of only two S-class spiritual power fighters in the Combat Department, his personality seemed unassuming on the surface but in fact, he was as proud and arrogant as his foolish brother Yue Qiguang...

It’s just that Yue Qiguang was more flamboyant, making Yue Qiyuan seem excessively low-key.

The pride in Yue Qiyuan’s personality meant that he didn’t lay a solid foundation in Mechanical Driving like Shen Changqing, and it only took a few minutes before he was pummeled to the ground, unable to move by the students blocking him from the front and chasing him from behind.

His Protective Shield was broken, his energy system was destroyed, and his weapon store was exhausted...

At this moment—

Click—

Yue Qiyuan heard a loud crack coming from his mechanical head, he lay on the ground, barely propping up his head, and looked forward to find that the main perpetrator was a Small Mecha—

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

Ji You waved her hand: ”Hi~ Are you okay? Want some humanitarian aid?”

As she spoke, she raised the Big Chopper in her hand, the blade’s cold light exuding a chilling aura.

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

Ji You smiled: ”Why so silent? I think you really need the humanitarian destruction aid I’m offering for free.”

Yue Qiyuan took a deep breath: ”Number 4444, you’ve got guts.”

Ji You chuckled: ”Just average, just average.”

The noisy surroundings, the chaos of the scene didn’t stop just because Yue Qiyuan was out, and the drivers who were chasing him still accidentally fired at their allies... what was the reason, even though Yue Qiyuan was fleeing for his life, he saw it clearly.

The main culprit was Number 4444, the shit-stirrer.

Yue Qiyuan stared at Ji You and said, ”Number 4444, aren’t you worried I might spill the beans about what you’ve done?”

Ji You looked confused: ”What did I do?”

”I recorded it,” Yue Qiyuan said somberly, in life, keeping something in hand is necessary, it clearly recorded who intentionally went around chopping peoples’ heads, thighs, arms...

Ji You: ”...”

Yue Qiyuan said: ”So don’t you dare try to dirty my name later.”

Ji You: ”...You’re so scheming.”

Yue Qiyuan grinned, ”Just average, just average.”

Various Mecha Battles, the scene was totally out of control, and certainly, the cause had to be investigated later, Yue Qiyuan daring to provoke Ji You, of course, he made preparations for her possible setups against him—

In short—

Yue Qiyuan thought, although he himself caused all this, might be beaten up by classmates after class, but he definitely can’t bear it alone, of course, he had to drag Ji You down to share the hardship.

Thinking of hiding behind and reaping benefits?

Impossible.
