The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: When the Mountains Fall and People Flee

Students: ”...”

Feeling suffocated.

Extremely suffocated.

In the Light Computer, the love triangle between the male lead, the female lead, and the supporting actress is still ongoing, the plot is melodramatic, the dialogues painfully corny, simply unbearable.

Ji You endured over and over, but couldn’t bear it anymore; suddenly she raised her hand and shouted, ”Teacher Mu!”

The astonishing momentum—

The loudness of her voice—

Indeed made all the students present admire her to the point of bowing down. Just when everyone thought Ji You, number 4444, would definitely say something inspiring that would impress everyone, they only heard Ji You’s voice suddenly turn as tiny as a mosquito: ”Well... disappointed though I am... could you kindly turn down the volume of the TV drama a bit?”

”Just a little bit, just a tiny bit would do...” Ji You pleaded like she was committing a theft, her voice pitifully small, her tone woefully begging: ”Teacher Mu—please... please...”

Students: ”...”

Thought she was kind of tough, turns out she’s such a coward.

Then—

After all the students mentally despised Ji You once, they all turned puppy-eyed in an instant, staring at Mu Jianling, looking just like Ji You:

—Please!

—Turn off this torturous noise.

However—

Mu Jianling looked at them, shook her head, and sighed deeply saying, ”You lie down, I watch my TV drama; we don’t interfere with each other, isn’t that nice—”

Students: ”...”

After Mu Jianling spoke, it seemed she didn’t care about the students’ protests and continued watching the TV drama.

”Hold up!” Among many cowards, a fearless warrior emerged—Yue Qiguang, who could no longer stand it, shouted loudly, ”What does it take for you to...”

Mu Jianling looked up: ”Hmm?”

This faint final intonation made Yue Qiguang instantly lose his nerve, his voice gradually weakening: ”...to...to turn off...that wretched TV volume?”

Mu Jianling finally understood: ”Oh—”

This long drawn ’Oh’ made everyone shiver.

Seeing all students, including a few troublemakers cowed, Mu Jianling then said satisfied: ”Speak properly...or I dismiss all complaints.”

Yue Qiguang immediately felt angry but dared not speak out.

But—

He swore:

One day, he will definitely sack this detestable Teacher Mu Jianling, including Principal Hong, and all the lousy teachers from Lanyue Star!

Yue Qiguang’s grand aspiration, no one knew, and luckily Teacher Mu Jianling didn’t know either; otherwise, everyone would be in big trouble today.

Mu Jianling said, ”Want me to turn off the TV volume? Sure—” as she said this, she pointed her finger forward in a straight line, ”The condition is, one of you has to get up and walk from the start of this line to the end of it—Teacher doesn’t ask for much, just one person to complete it. How about it? Teacher’s request isn’t too much, right?”

Students: ”...”

Excessive?

Isn’t this excessive already?

What exactly qualifies as excessive?

Moreover—

The students began to suspect, Teacher Mu Jianling deliberately watched this melodramatic TV drama in the training ground and deliberately turned the volume so loud, for no other reason but to torment the students!

Why torment the students?

Clearly for fun.

Detestable!

Simply too detestable.

But—

Aahhh!!!

Besides anger, what else could they do? They simply had no means to deal with such an unscrupulous teacher. Thus, many students with lesser talent instantly set their hopes on the few top ones:

Chu Jiaojiao.

Shen Changqing.

Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiyuan.

...

These people, under everyone’s gaze, felt like they were the last hope of the whole village, and couldn’t help but look away.

The pressure was immense.

”Ying ying...”

”Don’t...”

”Extraordinary...”

After a fierce battle with the female antagonist and securing a victory, the male lead, reflecting on their past interactions, still felt a bit gloomy. So, he turned to the female lead and gave her a domineering kiss—

The frail female lead, like a delicate white flower, was clearly frightened, which led to the aforementioned indescribable dialogue.

So embarrassing!

Yue Qiguang shouted loudly, immediately stood up, and became the first brave warrior!

And then—

Yue Qiguang, piloting the massive Heavy Armor Breaking Army, wobbly stood up, one step, two steps, three steps... everyone’s heartstrings tightened with his every shaky step—

And then—

Breaking Army suddenly slipped, veered off course, and was gone.

People: ”...”

As expected—

Nobody should have had any hope for that idiot Yue Qiguang.

After a little while, still no hero stepped forward.

Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, suddenly Yue Qiyuan appeared, piloting the Wind Wing, standing up steadily, and slowly but consistently walking towards the finish line in a straight line—what a great start! He was nothing like his foolish brother!

Just when everyone’s confidence was renewed:

Boom—

Yue Qiyuan fell.

Yue Qiyuan swiftly followed in his brother’s footsteps.

People: ”...”

This proves a lesson: don’t rely on mountains for they will fall, don’t rely on people for they will run—forget it, forget it, it’s better to rely on oneself and master the skills needed to accomplish this difficult task.

Thus, everyone put their full effort into thinking about how to overcome the problem of weightlessness when Chu Jiaojiao took action. She looked very cool as she sped along in a straight line at a high speed, but—

The face-slap came quickly.

Chu Jiaojiao flew off course.

Next.

Shen Changqing seemed to be well-prepared and finally decided to make his appearance. Unlike the others, he was very steady. He opened his Mecha’s arms, slowly stepping forward without any stops or sways.

One meter.

Two meters.

Three meters.

...

People’s hearts jumped to their throats, and just as Shen Changqing was about to reach the finish line, out of nowhere a wicked wind blew—whooosh—Shen Changqing suddenly veered off the finish line, and his ending was also gone.

Students: ”...”

Forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Shen Changqing’s failure simply reconfirmed the lesson again: don’t rely on mountains for they will fall, don’t rely on people for they will run. In the end, just rely on oneself.

”Extraordinary...”

”You... why would you kiss me just like that?” the female lead, Jiaojiao, softly questioned, totally lacking any force.

”It’s all because you’re so delicious and enchanting...”

The cheesy TV drama continues, and it’s still embarrassing—

Mu Jianling, focusing on the Light Computer, listened to the voices of the male and female leads, and of course, all the foolish things the students were doing also fell into her Spiritual Net—

Oh~

So foolish.

Ji You had seen it all and remembered everything, the top students’ performances were clearly evident, she hadn’t dared to move initially because there were no failure examples for her to refer to, but now, having witnessed many examples, Ji You thought about it and began to take her own steps.

When student number 4444, Ji You, came forward, all the students had already lost any hope.
