The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Ji’s Joke

Ji You remained very calm, so calm that she kept staring in the direction of the target, lying motionless.

By her side.

Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan guessed that Ji You had her own calculations in mind, so they kept silent. However, Xuzhou, who did not know Ji You well, was getting restless. He couldn’t help but say, ”Why are you still not moving? You haven’t fired a single shot yet, and even if you have the skills of ’aiming at a target’ and ’Hundred Shots Hundred Hits,’ if you run out of time later, you won’t have a chance to shoot!”

Time, that’s the real key.

Oh~

In these words, Ji You certainly heard the concern. She lifted her head, smiled at Xuzhou, and said, ”Silly, I’m just charging up my energy, don’t worry. I’m timing it all.”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Xuzhou said indignantly, ”I told you, don’t call me ’silly!’”

Ji You acted helplessly, indulgently saying, ”Alright, alright, Little Zhouzhou, don’t worry, I’ve got it under control.”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Didn’t I also tell you not to call me Little Zhouzhou? How come your selective memory is so strong?

Xuzhou was so annoyed that he shut down.

Ji You, seeing Xuzhou turn his head away, ignoring her, couldn’t help but laugh and said, ”Little Zhouzhou, don’t get too worked up, remember to stay calm. That’s the only way to hit the target with every shot.”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Who’s worked up? I’m clearly so angry that my heart disease is acting up again, I need emergency surgery!

Forget it.

Xuzhou calmed his mind and began focusing on his target.

On this side.

Ji You, after confirming that spiritual power had no effect on the target, was not flustered; it was just that spiritual power couldn’t interfere, not that she couldn’t use spiritual power.

After deciding on a strategy, a different aura instantly transformed Ji You’s face.

Therefore, the audience in the stands, although they did not understand what Ji You was thinking or planning, only saw the originally somewhat pale-faced, soft-tempered Ji You turn sharp in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, she was like a drawn sword, sharp and clear.

Audience in the stands: ”???”

Is she preparing her Big Move?

The curiosity of the audience was piqued, they looked forward with anticipation, ”The first shot, will she hit it?”

Ji You focused on the scope, her eyes slightly squinting. Around her, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiyuan, and Xuzhou, seeing her about to fire the first shot, did not want to interfere with Ji You’s performance, so they involuntarily lightened their actions and breathing.

Ji You immersed herself wholeheartedly, paying no attention to her surroundings. In her eyes, there was only her target and the trigger she was about to pull.

Click—

A faint sound followed by a cannon shot, scratching the air and resistance, whistling toward the center of the target.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Boom—

Hit!

”Holy moly!”

”Awesome!”

”Amazing!”

The audience in the stands burst into exclamations.

This scene was fantastical. Someone who couldn’t even carry a gun, having such a high shooting accuracy, truth be told, was a bit surprising.

Ji You was wildly elated!

Indeed, her strategy was spot on. She didn’t need to use spiritual power to interfere with the target, she just needed to focus her spiritual power, ensure her aiming accuracy, and then just fire away!

Right!

That’s it!

Her silly minions, though lazy, needed only a promise of benefits and proper instructions, and thus far there had been no record of failure.

Ji You grinned, ready to let out a hearty laugh.

Suddenly——

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, unable to look directly and said: ”4444 oh...do you have glaucoma, or is it cataracts... why are you hitting someone else’s target?”

Ji You: ”!!!”

The smile on her lips gradually solidified, her heart which was jumping excitedly, gradually stiffened.

She widened her eyes: ”Impossible!”

Sheng Qingyan glanced at her, raised her hand to point, and said: ”Look for yourself... deadly glaucoma... dragging on such a minor issue without treatment... it could be solved with a visit to the medical room, why delay...”

”Now you realize your mistake...”

Ji You followed the direction Sheng Qingyan pointed, and her breath hitched in an instant.

At the same moment, her head buzzed, and suddenly, she couldn’t hear anything.

Ah, ah, ah!

Fate is playing tricks ah, ah, ah!!

In the stands, many people also noticed the anomaly.

”Huh?”

”Something feels off.”

”That target was hit, but it seems not hers, right?”

”You’re not mistaken, it was someone else’s target hit!”

”Woah... dammit! What kind of ridiculous operation is this?”

”At this moment, I really want to interview this shooter, about the size of the mental shadow she’s having right now.”

”Puhaha...”

”This has been the biggest joke since the hot pot restaurant opened, hasn’t it?”

”Awesome! This joke is enough to keep me laughing for a year! No! Three years!”

Ji You was dumbfounded.

Ji You’s friends were also dumbfounded.

It took a while before someone snapped back to reality, Yue Qiguang was the first to speak, ”Dad knew that this silly girl entering the scene would definitely bring about an accident, and sure enough... hahaha... Dad is dying of laughter.”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Hmm... although it’s somewhat unexpected, it’s not surprising, this is the charm of classmate Ji You.”

Lou and Lance said in unison: ”If it’s something that happened to classmate Ji You, it’s indeed not very surprising.”

Zhang Yedao said, ”Don’t rush to make fun of her. The more she is ridiculed, the more courageous she becomes, just watch!”

Meanwhile, Xie Lingzhi, Xie Chuanqiong, and Lea listened to Ji You’s classmates discussing her, exchanged a look with a hint of a helpless smile in their eyes. Lea said: ”You being ridiculed like this and growing from it, is indeed not bad.”

Xie Lingzhi said, ”So, the more she’s laughed at, the thicker her skin gets?”

Xie Chuanqiong said, ”Having thick skin is not bad either, it’s an advantage. At least now it proves that You doesn’t need us to worry about her, she can manage quite well alone at school. Next month, I probably need to go on an overseas internship, and it’s going to be a long one.”

Both Xie Lingzhi and Lea were aware of this, Xie Lingzhi waved her hands and said, ”Brother, don’t worry, I will take good care of Ji You.”

Xie Chuanqiong sighed mildly, said, ”Compared to You, I’m more worried about you, hope you can take good care of yourself.” He was very clear about his sister’s character, sometimes her words and actions didn’t consider the consequences, easily offending people. By contrast, Ji You clearly knew how to manage relationships with her classmates better.

Xie Lingzhi felt slightly upset and said, ”I’m not a child, you don’t need to worry about me, worry about yourself instead, can you make it through your internship period? Hopefully, you won’t get sent back to repeat a year.”

Xie Chuanqiong was about to say something but stopped.

Lea hurriedly came in to lighten the mood, said, ”Ah Qiong, rest assured, I will keep an eye on them for you.”

Xie Chuanqiong turned his head, looking at Lea, his serene face gradually softened, he said, ”Lea, thank you.”
