The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Catching Stars

Non-chiefs all think they have good luck.

Of course, no blame to the non-chiefs, who made their fate so unfortunate?

Ji You firmly believed in her own good luck, which neither Xie Lingzhi nor Lea quite trusted, only Xie Chuanqiong teasingly laughed and said, ”You may have bad luck, but certainly better than mine.”

They were all very relieved at his self-awareness, Xie Lingzhi and Lea alike.

Then, many rushed hurriedly towards the crab-grasping platform, and for a moment, everyone in the shop was squeezing towards this spot, inevitably stepping on feet and heels on heels, and Ji You, quite unintentionally, bumped her head into the person in front of her, who suddenly turned around, but upon seeing Ji You’s face, froze instantly, ”...”

Ji You was about to apologize when she immediately showed a glimpse of tender love in her eyes and said, ”Yo~ Child——ah no! Little Zhouzhou, you’re here too!”

—Such a twisted fate!

Xuzhou didn’t want to speak.

Xuzhou would rather be autistic.

Beside them, Zhang Ye raised his hand, greeting Ji You, ”Big brother, here for hotpot?”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Zhang Ye—this little rascal has no decency, calling her big brother, isn’t that just elevating her seniority for no reason?

Realizing what he was thinking, Xuzhou’s face grew even stiffer.

Ji You laughed and said, ”Right! I’m here with my brother, my sister, and the others for hotpot.”

Saying that, Ji You raised her hand, introducing Xie Chuanqiong, Lea, and Xie Lingzhi to Zhang Ye and Xuzhou, as she said, ”Little Zhouzhou, Zhang Ye, come, meet them, this is my brother Xie Chuanqiong, my sister Lea, and Xie Lingzhi. If you have any issues with Mechanical class, Mechanical Manufacturing or Spatial Transition, you can ask my brother and sister, they specialize in these areas.”

This was—

Getting herself several more seniors, wasn’t it?

The situation was a bit awkward.

Xuzhou bravely squeezed out a smile and addressed Xie Chuanqiong and the others, ”Seniors, hello.”

Xie Chuanqiong and the others, unaware of the reason, just felt this male student named Xuzhou had a somewhat stiff facial expression, possibly a facial nerve issue, so they didn’t find it very strange; they all nodded courteously and said, ”Hello.”

If possible, Xuzhou really wanted to leave on the spot, however—the number 4444 was like a sticky plaster, impossible to shake off.

No way around it.

Xuzhou braced himself and headed to the crab-grasping location.

By then, Ji You recognized several familiar figures: Sheng Qingyan, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan...

Chu Jiaojiao was the first to spot Ji You, vigorously waving her hand, ”Ji You, what a coincidence, come here, I’m standing on a feng shui treasure spot, hurry over, I’ll give it to you.”

Sheng Qingyan frowned, ”Jiaojiao, why are you giving it to her... this was hard-won by someone else... if you don’t want it, give it back to them...” She had forcefully claimed the spot, and not two seconds later she wanted to offer it to someone else?

Chu Jiaojiao waved her hand dismissively, saying, ”Because Ji You is pretty. If I don’t give it to her, then to whom?”

With that one sentence, she nearly infuriated Sheng Qingyan, leaving the Little Cutie practically gasping for breath!

Ji You swiftly moved over, curious, ”Feng shui treasure spot, what’s that about?”

Chu Jiaojiao giggled, saying, ”Sheng Qingyan was last month’s winner, he was standing right here, and caught a crab, winning first place.”

Ji You’s eyes lit up, ”Really? That’s amazing?”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Feng shui—deep and unfathomable...”

Even as a Lucky Goose, one would want the boost of a feng shui treasure spot, Ji You didn’t even bother with the pretense of declining and immediately took her stand on this palm-sized feng shui treasure spot, next to which stood the upright Shen Changqing.

Ji You stared at Shen Changqing, squeezing out a smile on her face, but this smile seemed somewhat ingratiating, ”Shen Changqing, what a coincidence.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

With his S-level spiritual power, he was highly sensitive, and somehow Ji You’s smile felt unnatural, weird... but why?

He just couldn’t figure it out.

So, Shen Changqing pursed his lips, also squeezing out a smile, ”Ji You, what a coincidence.”

Seeing Shen Changqing smiling back at her, Ji You instantly felt elated; the smile on her face blossomed. What did this mean?

Getting on familiar terms with Shen Changqing, was there still worry about not being able to win General Shen’s favor?

Pah!

Nonsense.

She merely wanted to meet General Shen and earnestly inquire about spiritual power cultivation, as well as Mecha piloting techniques.

Just that.

Following that, the two groups introduced each other, and the star-grabbing began immediately.

Boom——

The venue’s scene almost instantly transformed with the lights going out.

Above, there was a starry sky, countless stars scattered down, one, two, three...

In holographic mode, this scene was pretty dreamlike; it was as if you were in the starry heavens, reaching out to grab stars, red, white, green, blue, purple... each zipping past before your eyes, and once you reach for a color, the dreamy starry sky would disappear.

So——

You have to be careful when choosing a color.

This game was kind of fun, especially since Ji You hadn’t relaxed like this in a long time, playing such a luck-based game with her siblings and classmates—it was quite interesting.

Ji You watched the countless colors drift by, indecisive about which to grab. She looked at Sheng Qingyan, the lucky duck from the previous session, only to see Sheng Qingyan seemed to make her choice without any hesitation, directly grabbing a brilliantly red star.

Ji You touched her chin: ”Should I follow suit?”

In the meantime, Shen Changqing after some thought started reaching out too, decisively grabbing a pink star.

Ji You: ”...”

The heart of a little pink girl?

Unexpectedly, Shen Changqing had a little princess living inside him.

Then——

Suddenly, a voice filled with irritation cursed: ”Damn it! Daddy wanted to grab an orange one, how did it turn green?”

Ji You didn’t need to follow the voice to know that it was that fool, Yue Qiguang.

Pfft——

Green.

Very good.

Quite appropriate.

Then, Chu Jiaojiao started too, and she decisively reached out, grabbing a white star.

Yue Qiyuan grabbed a gold one.

Ji You looked at Xuzhou and Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye, being proper, grabbed a blue one. But Ji You discovered that her burly son Xuzhou was also a pink enthusiast, unexpectedly, oh so unexpectedly...

Was this the so-called Barbie Kong (tough Barbie)?

On the other side, Xie Lingzhi grabbed a black star, while Lea grabbed a yellow one.

Xie Chuanqiong?

He didn’t dare to reach out and grab one.

Ji You contemplated for a while, feeling that with her luck as a ”chosen one,” she could grab anything, so she closed her eyes and went for one. When she opened her eyes, it turned out to be a sparkling gold star.

Gold, huh.

She was overjoyed.

Next, it was time to reveal the results.

This star, with just a gentle squeeze, would explode, turning into a burst of bright sparkles. If you advanced, the color would be gold, but if you were eliminated, it would be white.

Yue Qiguang, unable to contain his impatience, squeezed the star tightly:

Bang——

A burst of white light flashed.

Yue Qiguang cursed in annoyance: ”Damn it! Daddy knew that green wasn’t good for anything!”

Everyone looked on, laughing somewhat inappropriately.

Next, it was Chu Jiaojiao’s turn. Without hesitation, she crisply pinched it: Bang—— it was still a burst of white light...

Chu Jiaojiao’s face collapsed instantly, turning to Ji You, said, ”Ji You, I’m counting on you to offer me a chance to enjoy a hotpot meal next month.”

Ji You felt the pressure mounting and said, ”I’ll try my best.”

Over here, Lou and Lance also started revealing theirs, but without exception, they all got the white light.

Ji You hesitated, wondering whether to burst this star now or not?
