The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Everyone Here Is Trash

points?

Play one game?

This is like robbing money!

Ji You subconsciously reached to cover her pocket, but then she remembered she didn’t have any points in her pocket; all her points were safely in her account, so she quickly let her hand drop.

Xiaoqing saw her series of actions and understood.

Then, Xiaoqing turned around.

The intent to leave was clear.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, bracing herself, stopped him: ”Really 20 points per game?”

Xiaoqing turned back, his tone slightly resigned: ”Playing a match with you, even if I win gloriously, I’m still losing money.”

Hmm.

Right.

It’s really a loss.

Ji You’s lips twitched as she said: ”20 points per game, that’s never going to happen! Not in this lifetime! Don’t even think about it.”

Xiaoqing: ”...”

This tone, shamelessly righteous, strangely reminded Xiaoqing of one of his classmates.

Perhaps having spent a long time with classmates of vastly different personalities, his heart had grown stronger, and Xiaoqing kept a calm face saying: ”Goodbye.”

Ji You quickly grabbed him: ”Hey! Wait!”

Xiaoqing: ”I don’t want to play against you anymore.” Having already won 3 games and maintained a win rate above 85%, he saw no need to continue.

Seeing that her plan wasn’t working, Ji You immediately glared at him: ”You’re using a Tracking Particle Cannon against my antique mech? Isn’t that like using a cleaver to kill a chicken? Don’t you have confidence in your skills, thinking you can’t win against me without the Tracking Particle Cannon?”

Xiaoqing: ”...”

Ji You seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, her spittle flying: ”I think you’re just that unconfident. Without the Tracking Particle Cannon, you’re nothing, you can’t beat me!”

Xiaoqing: ”...”

It had to be said, Xiaoqing was already somewhat provoked.

He looked at Ji You standing before him, a fiery figure with blazing red hair, the Rag Queen, and with a twitch of his lips, he said: ”The first time I defeated you, I didn’t use the Tracking Particle Cannon.”

Ji You let out a dry laugh and said, ”That was the you from before, and the you now, without the Tracking Particle Cannon, is just weak trash! Exactly!”

The provocation technique, tried and true.

”Weak trash!” Sneering, Ji You dropped the words and immediately turned around, saying: ”Besides you, it’s too easy to find someone who uses the Tracking Particle Cannon.”

”Goodbye!”

Waving her hand, Ji You strode forward, her posture suave.

Xiaoqing: ”...”

Ji You took a step, Xiaoqing didn’t come; she took two steps, still no Xiaoqing; she went on to take three, four, five steps...

When she looked back, there was no sign of Xiaoqing, the guy, probably long gone.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s face darkened.

Failed to show off, got slapped in the face instead.

This is damn awkward.

Well, there goes a good sparring partner,

actually provoked away by her own provocation.

Ji You’s mouth curled into a wry smile:

Ah aah aah!!!

Xiaoqing’s skills, undoubtedly the strongest she had encountered in online competitions, having such a powerful opponent for practice was really vital for Ji You’s improvement.

Now, he’s gone.

Whatever.

Ji You started to scout for a second opponent, scanning several times, still hesitating about who to challenge, when suddenly she received a notification sound:

[Bai Daxia challenges you, for 1 point.]

Hoh~

Ji You glanced at the opponent’s profile, finding someone who had played 50 games but only had a win rate of 55%, not too strong, but not too weak either.

Interesting.

Since Xiaoqing ran off, might as well play a game with someone else.

Ji You immediately chose to accept.

Following that, the screen transitioned, and both parties arrived inside the arena.

Bai Daxia: ”Iron buddies! Double-click 666! Watch how many times I kill her this time!”

Live audience: ”Kill her 99 times!”

Ji You: ”...”

She glanced around casually and noticed that there were still many spectators, and almost in the blink of an eye, all seats were taken.

”Damn~ That’s super hot! I finally squeezed in.”

”The seats are full! 1 million!”

”I put in a lot of effort to get into this live broadcast. No more chit-chat, I want to see how quickly the Rag Queen dies!”

”Dead in 5 seconds! Standard procedure.”

”Why not die in 3 seconds?”

”Bai Daxia! If you are a man, kill her in 3 seconds!”

...

The noise from the spectator stands was overwhelming, hardly a good word, Ji You scoffed, annoyed, ”Where do all these annoying spectators come from?”

Just a regular competition, who did she provoke?

Could it be—she’s been sabotaged?

million fake commenters?

Who has such deep pockets just to slander her, a nobody? Are they that idle?

Ji You had no idea that these weren’t fake commenters, but rather, the news had spread because of her match with Xiaoqing, combined with her once sensational forum nickname ’Rag Queen’...thus, resulting in such a huge promotional effect.

Never mind.

Ji You took out her mech.

Yes.

Still the antique mech.

She insisted on sticking with the antique mech.

Upon seeing Ji You indeed taking out the antique mech, her new opponent Bai Daxia immediately laughed, showing a confident, smug expression, and said to the surroundings, ”Iron guys, I’m here! Definitely will finish her in 3 seconds!”

Ji You smirked, ”Don’t bite your tongue in the strong wind.”

Ji You entered the cockpit, which took just a second, and Bai Daxia, decisive as ever, launched his killer move right at the start—a Tracking Particle Cannon shot at Ji You!

The impending danger targeted at her made Ji You’s scalp and limbs explode. She instantly bolted, sprinting away.

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

Even though Ji You ran fast, the sound of something speeding through the air relentlessly approached her.

Ji You frowned.

She cranked up the thruster to the maximum, and with a fierce acceleration, the mech darted towards Bai Daxia like a released arrow, whooshing through the air.

Meanwhile—

The Tracking Particle Cannon also instantly changed direction, chasing after Ji You.

As Ji You ran, she adjusted her strides, and through the Spiritual Network, she discovered that this person named Bai Daxia was noticeably weaker than Xiaoqing; Xiaoqing’s cannon’s speed was nearly triple that of Bai Daxia’s. Despite the chasing Tracking Particle Cannon still biting at Ji You’s heels, if she just sped up! Just a bit more! A tiny bit faster...

She could absolutely reach Bai Daxia before the Tracking Particle Cannon.

Ji You’s eyes brightened.

Heart and Mind Move, thruster further increased, she along with her mech, flashed like a streak of light, arriving in front of Bai Daxia in less than 2 seconds.

The confident Bai Daxia, waiting to harvest his victory, only saw a blur and a silver flash before him and his mech was swiftly flipped over.

Bai Daxia: ”Fuck!”

What happened?

How did he suddenly get flipped over?

He was piloting Heavy Armor!

Could Heavy Armor be flipped over so easily?

And—at the moment of that silver flash, he felt his consciousness inexplicably blur a bit—

At the same moment, the relentlessly pursuing Tracking Particle Cannon quickly hit Ji You’s mech.

Only heard—

BOOM—

An explosion akin to thunder echoed throughout the arena.

After a moment.

Through the smoke-filled field, suddenly, a figure rolled out, she first coughed fiercely, spitting out a mouthful of blood, then, she raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, after that, facing the stunned audience, she casually glanced and smirked, ”What are you all looking at? All of you here are trash!”

Audience: ”???”
