The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: A Recommendation from the Agricultural College

Ji You sent the Star Beast materials to the logistics manager as soon as she got them. Aunt Zhang looked at the materials brought by Ji You and the others, settled the payment with a smile, and suddenly said, ”Students, after the special training ends, are you interested in doing some advanced studies at Lanyue Star Agricultural College?”

Ah?

Agricultural College?

Not only was Ji You shocked, but the others were too.

Aunt Zhang raised her hand, pointing at Yue Qiguang, and said, ”I see all of you are promising youngsters, especially this student Yue Qiguang here. I think he’s particularly suitable. The Agricultural College has recently introduced a new batch of high-quality piglets, intended to optimize our Lanyue Star’s native black-haired pigs. We’re still lacking many dedicated students for this experiment. If it’s successful, it will inevitably drive down the price of pork, which would be a joyous event benefiting humanity.”

Ji You’s face was struggling to hide a smile, the others were the same, only Yue Qiguang’s face grew darker and darker. He held back his frustration and said angrily, ”I won’t go! I will never raise pigs again in my life. I am a Mechanical Warrior!!!”

He emphasized ’Mechanical Warrior’ once more. Besides, despite the pretty words, it was just about coaxing them to do things like researching pig breeding, assisting pig births, and optimizing the genetics of black-haired pigs. Someone like him, a young talent, was naturally meant for battlefields and combat; how could he possibly stoop down to deal with pork breeding?

It’s infuriating.

Too infuriating.

As soon as Yue Qiguang said this, Aunt Zhang’s kindly face changed instantly, her demeanor grew stern, with an implied Spiritual Pressure, ”Are you looking down on pig breeding?”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, and others quickly distanced themselves from Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiguang glared at them, then, fighting the tingling on his scalp, he turned to Aunt Zhang and explained, ”It’s not like that... I don’t look down on it... It’s just... I’m not the right fit.”

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang’s face softened again and she said, ”That’s good then. Human society has developed to this point, where work is divided more and more finely. We need people to take on different jobs to have the prosperous society we have now, so, every profession deserves respect.”

Yue Qiguang with a tingling scalp: ”Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right.”

Really—

Why does it feel like Supervisor Zhang is even more nagging than my own mother?

Then, Aunt Zhang turned to look at Ji You and the others. Ji You immediately took the lead and loudly said, ”Right, right, right... We wholeheartedly agree with Aunt Zhang.”

Aunt Zhang was very pleased: ”Hmm.”

She then waved her hand and said, ”Go and rest. As for going to the Agricultural College for an exchange, I’ll arrange it when the time comes.”

Ji You and the others: ”!!!”

When did they ever agree to go?

Ahhh...

The group dashed out of the logistics office in a flash, especially Yue Qiguang who ran the fastest. When they were sure they had left Aunt Zhang’s sphere of influence, everyone exhaled a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and almost simultaneously said, ”Why does it feel like Aunt Zhang’s Spiritual Silk is so terrifying?”

Shen Changqing said, ”I guess she must have already broken through to SS rank, with a Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate of over 50%.”

Ji You clicked her tongue: ”That terrifying?” She knew how difficult it was to clean Spiritual Silk. If Aunt Zhang had already cleaned half of it, that would explain the terrifying Spiritual Pressure she suddenly released just now.

Yue Qiguang suddenly said as he walked ahead: ”What’s the use of just having strong spiritual power? When it comes to actual combat, she might not necessarily be able to beat Senior Yang Bin.”

Shen Changqing said: ”That’s not the same thing. Aunt Zhang is a research talent. She uses spiritual power the most, so naturally her physical strength would be much worse. Senior Yang Bin is a warrior, specializing in combat and physical strength, with a side focus on spiritual power... The two are not on the same level and can’t be compared.”

Yue Qiguang: ”Hmph.”

Ji You glanced at him disdainfully and said in an unfriendly tone: ”What’s the use of showing off now? As if you weren’t the one playing dumb just a moment ago.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

With a red face and gritted teeth, Yue Qiguang said: ”Easy for you to say when you’re not in pain. If you were the one facing her spiritual pressure alone just now, it wouldn’t be surprising if you ended up playing dumb like your great-grandson or even your great-great-grandson...”

Ji You chuckled and said: ”I’m not like someone who has a death wish, so of course I don’t have to endure her wrath.”

Walking to the side, Sheng Qingyan, yawning and a bit impatient, said: ”Have you chatted enough? Hurry up and distribute those credit points that belong to others... I’m going to sleep... Staying up late is not good for this Little Cutie’s health...”

Ji You looked at Sheng Qingyan with disdain, ”What’s the rush? Wait till I’ve calculated the accounts clearly.”

Sheng Qingyan huffed: ”Weren’t the accounts already settled? Haven’t Aqing and Ayuan already done the math?”

Ji You said: ”I need to check them again. What if I distribute them wrongly and you refuse to admit it?”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Stomping his feet with anger, Sheng Qingyan cursed: ”Only a poor dead person like you would think that way... You’re the only one being stingy... and to think I’d be afraid of you skimming off my money...” To be honest, he wouldn’t care about this sum ordinarily, but his grandfather had recently frozen all his accounts. He had to report to his grandfather for anything he needed, and he was so broke, he almost couldn’t make ends meet. Moreover, he was looking forward to saving money early to wait for the new soul devices from Green Glaze Master, otherwise—

How could he, the universe’s number one Little Cutie, frequently endure threats from someone like Ji You?

After thinking about it, Ji You decided not to delay everyone’s money and distributed the funds according to the split, where the ones who got the least, Xuzhou, Jiang Fang, Lou, and Lance, each received 200,000 credit points.

Ji You and Sheng Qingyan received the most, each obtaining over 600,000 credit points.

Seeing the balance in her account increase, Ji You couldn’t stop smiling, realizing that not only was she able to earn academic points and points from the special training, but she also made a fortune, in addition to gaining combat skills and broadening her horizons.

Worth it!

Returning to her dorm, Ji You was too tired to do anything else and didn’t engage in additional training. She climbed into bed early and fell asleep.

The next day.

Waking up early, Ji You had just gotten ready to go downstairs when she suddenly received a message from Teacher Mu Jianling: [Everyone get in uniform and immediately come to the hall, arrive within 3 minutes. For every second of tardiness, all rewards from this special training will be deducted.]

Huh?

Why is there another sudden gathering?

Ji You thought today would be like before, with students split into groups for training, but with the teacher gathering all the students in the hall, today’s session must be a collective training of 100 people. Without much thought, she hurried to the hall.

Here, more than a dozen students had already arrived. When Ji You got there, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, and others had all arrived. After all, with such a charming punishment system, no one dared to be late, and everyone managed to arrive within the 3-minute timeframe.

Mu Jianling looked at the students with a stern face and said nothing.
