The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Searching for the Lucky Goose

The match ended, and Ji You glanced at the time. It was almost her set bedtime, so she couldn’t play another round.

Ji You didn’t fret and chose to log off. But just as she was about to log off, Ji You remembered something and suddenly took a glance at her total points. The moment she saw it, her mouth opened wide, and a wild joy appeared in her eyes.

It clearly displayed a string of numbers: 21000 points.

System: [Congratulations!!! Betting pool proceeds credited: 5000 points.]

Ji You: ”!!!”

At this moment, if a reporter wanted to interview Ji You about how it feels to get rich overnight, Ji You would only say one word: ”Cool!”

If—

If the reporter asked her to say one more word, Ji You would say: ”Very cool!”

Of course, the reporter probably wouldn’t be so bored as to ask her to say three more words, but Ji You truly felt, the taste of instantaneously turning from a pauper to a wealthy lady, was absolutely thrilling!!!

Then, Ji You carefully read the distribution instructions and found that she did not earn as much this round compared to the last because, for some reason, the system gave her lower odds this time, only 1:50. She won, so it was 50 times! And the audience for this match was less than 100,000, while the previous match had 1 million viewers. But with such a small number, it actually contributed 5000 points to Ji You!

It was not 5 points, nor 50 points, but 5000 points! You should know, Ji You previously learned from Yue Qiyuan and Shen Changqing that the team members who entered the finals of the group competition they participated in shared 5000 points, 1 million credit points. If strong enough to win the championship, all members would share 50000 points, 5 million credit points.

All shared by everyone.

But now?

Ji You felt a bit dizzy:

She alone won the points they would have shared in the finals with just one match!

With two matches, she surpassed the points they earned in the finals!!!

...

Proud.

Arrogant.

Honored.

...

If Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing... these people knew how awesome she was, would they regret crying and begging her to join their team?

Hmph~

When that time comes, she would reluctantly say: ”This big boss looks down on you, no deal!”

You ignored me yesterday, and today I’ll make you out of reach.

Oh~

Just thinking about that scene, Ji You couldn’t help but reveal a pure, most fitting smile: [Really looking forward to it.]

Contentedly looking at her points over and over again, Ji You, now carrying a huge sum, finally was willing to log off and go to sleep.

This time, having won 5000 points and already used to seeing the big world, Ji You became calm. Instead of excitedly running around downstairs, she climbed straight into bed, slept soundly, and even dreamed about lying in a sea of braised pork ribs...

Ji You slept sweetly, but—the audience who had the fortune to witness this match were almost all insomniac.

Rolling back time a bit, right after the match ended, viewers ABCDE... who realized they had lost everything, looked at each other, burst into tears, and then, a pinned thread rose on the forum. The thread title was:

[Freshman Match: Rag Queen vs Dominate the Universe, any Lucky Goose here, please squeak.]

The title of this post was actually quite ordinary with no eye-catching words. Besides, Rag Queen? Who is that?

Dominate the Universe?

Who is this person again?

There aren’t these two people on the ranking list at all.

You know, the territory of the Alliance covers six Star Systems, and within these six Star Systems, how many schools and freshmen are there? Countless.

Since Rag Queen and Dominate the Universe are not high-ranking players on the list, it indicates that these two don’t often compete or participate in challenges online... Naturally, their popularity has greatly decreased.

With such low popularity, suddenly someone posts about them, and the post weirdly turns red and jumps to the homepage rapidly, showing how hot it has become.

Countless people: ”Who is this???”

Driven by this curiosity, they click to watch.

And then—

Everyone: ”!!!”

No wonder! So this is a thread for heartbroken people seeking warmth.

[01 Floor: The thread starter will start - I bet 50 points on Dominate the Universe and lost big. Just want to know if there’s any Lucky Goose here? I want to be more stimulated; since I’m going to cry, might as well cry all the tears out in one go. Lucky Goose, make a sound, quick.

Floor: 50 points? Yingyingying... I had it worse than the thread starter, I lost 55 points. Woo woo woo...

Floor: Only 55 points? You dare to say you lost big? I lost 100! I painstakingly saved those points for a month, aaaah...

Floor: 100? Looks like I’m the unluckiest, I lost 150! Wuaaa wuaaa...

Floor: I may have lost less, but I bet all my 500 net worth, oh.

Floor: Lost 1000 points, betting feels good for a moment, always feels good when betting! From now on, I’m chopping off these disobedient hands of mine.

Floor: Are we all comparing miseries? Have you forgotten the theme of this post? We are looking for the Lucky Goose!!!

Floor: It’s been so long, went through all the floors, and not a single Lucky Goose?

Floor: Lucky Goose? Could that rare species have gone extinct by now?

...

...

...

Floor: I just saw this post, um, I’ll weakly make a sound, actually, I am the Lucky Goose here, but now I just want to cry, just want to cry a storm, my sorrow like a river turning into a vast ocean... because, I only bet 1 point! 1 point! 1 point! Wuaa!!!! Which means, I only earned 50 credit points... Yingyingying...]

What a tragedy!

The post momentarily fell into an eerie silence.

A few seconds later.

Everyone burst into uncontrollable laughter!

The sorrow and grief of countless unlucky folks were also diluted because of the appearance of this one Lucky Goose.

And then?

As this viral post was born, and countless jokers gathered together, Rag Queen and Dominate the Universe also suddenly became famous! At least, their popularity isn’t worse than that Self-Destruction silly boss from a couple of days ago.

Their battle videos were thoroughly dug up and scrutinized by everyone, especially Ji You’s sneaky move ’guess who I am’ and embrace, was repeatedly teased, reminding to stay far away from such a mastermind next time.

Damn.

With her actions, she could go file a complaint for harassment on the field!

As more people watched, some sharp-eyed ones started wondering: ”Um, do you guys feel like, this Rag Queen, and the Self-Destruction silly boss, kinda look like the same person?”
