The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Carpet Bombing

Arena.

After five consecutive battles, Ji You finally met a tough opponent, one who hit her where it hurt and made her very uncomfortable.

At the start of the match, the opponent didn’t give her a chance to get close and launched a Tracking Particle Cannon at Ji You as soon as they logged into their mecha.

Ji You braked in time, pulling away to run, letting the Tracking Particle Cannon that was launched at her tail behind. What Ji You didn’t expect was that although this person wasn’t very strong, they were filthy rich.

As soon as Ji You started to flee, the opponent immediately launched a second Tracking Particle Cannon.

Then—

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

The sixth one.

After firing six Tracking Particle Cannons in a row, the person turned to the audience and laughed out loud, arrogantly saying, ”First time meeting, I’ll give her a nice ’Six of a Kind’!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The sound of six Particle Cannons scraping through the air, causing resistance, was extremely chaotic, but the sound was strikingly clear...

Ji You, with her scalp tingling in frustration, evaded once, then again, and couldn’t help but grit her teeth and curse, ”Damn! Bro, did your points come from a windfall? They’re so worthless to you? Don’t give them to me!”

Six Cannons!

points each, that’s 120 points!

Upon hearing this, the opponent’s voice rose: ”Give them to you?”

”I’ll give you another ’Nine-Nine Returns to One’!”

Boom boom boom—

Watching the Rag Queen jumping up and down, hurriedly dodging and scrambling to hide from her own six Tracking Particle Cannons, the person laughed heartily as they fired 9 more Ordinary Particle Cannons.

The 9 Particle Cannons were fired simultaneously, forming a straight line, zooming straight for the energy box of Ji You’s antique mech.

Ji You: ”...”

Damn it!

She realized then that she had the misfortune of encountering a credit points player! Such people may not be strong, but they have plenty of points, so they aren’t afraid to waste them. As for where the opponent’s points came from?

Do you even need to ask? Of course, it wasn’t through normal channels, but by lavishly splurging credit points and buying them.

When Ji You first enrolled, Sister Lingzhi told her that the points were very useful and should never be sold unless it was an emergency. Therefore, this also means that points could be traded—of course, the trade wasn’t conducted directly between parties but through the Alliance University network, by initiating a private challenge and intentionally losing to the other side.

Ji You’s current opponent’s points probably came by this method.

But, what made Ji You even more uncomfortable was yet to come. After firing six Tracking Particle Cannons and 9 Ordinary Particle Cannons, seeing that Ji You was not immediately taken down, the opponent, with a ruthless determination, fired another 6 Tracking Particle Cannons, as well as a continuous barrage of countless Ordinary Cannons.

In the stands, as spectators watched this scene, they too gasped in shock:

”This match, Rag Queen is doomed!”

”Wild punches take down an old master! The Rag Queen may have great skills, but with the opponent’s reckless bombardment, the entire arena is filled with flying cannons; no matter how skilled the Rag Queen is, what can she do?”

”Those who bet on Rag Queen to win are going to suffer a huge loss this round!”

These were the more rational comments. Others, who disliked Rag Queen and her persona, were even more malicious:

”Smash her! Kick the Rag Queen out of the arena!”

”Yes! Take her down! Show her that a junk collector should stay in her lane collecting junk, not trying to shine.”

”Riding a clunker mech and wanting to be invincible? It’s time to show her some colors!”

...

But even more were the roars and screams of Rag Queen’s fans:

”Ahhh!!! To hell with you all; my queen is no junk collector, she’s just more dedicated, so she’s always used that antique mech, what do you know?”

”Gold shines no matter where it is, and our queen doesn’t even have to seek the limelight; it naturally seeks her out!”

”Great, you’re a player with credit points? Our queen will slap your face with her strength! Just you wait!”

”Queen for the win!”

”Queen for the win!”

”Queen for the win!”

...

The fans seemed to have a lot of information on Ji You, but currently, Ji You was indeed in a difficult situation. Her opponent was relentless, bombarding her from all directions without any pattern, leaving her with no chance to counterattack, only able to flee desperately.

Whoosh—

As she sprinted at full speed, she had to dodge all the Tracking Particle Cannons and also be on guard against those ordinary shells that could explode at any moment. Beads of sweat kept emerging one after another on Ji You’s forehead.

Scalding hot, scalding hot.

Endless...

Everyone’s eyes widened; at this moment, they were unable to track the figure of the Rag Queen. She was like a rushing gust of wind, or a flash of lightning. Because she was moving so fast, it seemed as if multiple afterimages were formed. No one could clearly tell which one was her.

Ji You’s opponent couldn’t see clearly either, but that didn’t matter. His combat tactics were simple and crude: just keep on bombing! He didn’t let a single afterimage escape, treating them all as the enemy to bombard.

Moreover, although he had been bombing for so long without killing the Rag Queen, he found it amusing. He suddenly became very casual, not in a hurry to take the Rag Queen’s life anymore. He decided to ”walk the dog,” so to speak, playing with the Rag Queen a bit longer, and hence, he wasn’t rushed.

Then—

Gasps of amazement couldn’t help but spread from the spectator seats:

”Hissss—”

”Terrifying—”

”The Rag Queen is simply inhuman!”

”To still be alive under such fierce bombardment!”

”Beast!!!”

”This is absolutely a beast! No question about it!”

But no matter how many gasps of astonishment there were, the reality could not be changed. Sighs were occasionally heard from the spectator seats:

”The Rag Queen is very fast, her spiritual power is strong, and her physical strength is strong, but her only shortcoming is her mech! The energy shortage in the antique mech means she can’t hold out for long.”

That’s right.

Not only did the spectators know Ji You’s major weakness, but her opponent knew it, and Ji You herself was crystal clear about it.

How could she break the situation?

Ji You’s mind was highly stressed, constantly keeping an eye on her energy system. At this moment, there was still 30% of energy left. Under such high-intensity operation, she could only last for one more minute. After that one minute, once her energy was exhausted, it would be the moment for her opponent to take her life—

Ji You furrowed her brow!

Sitting and waiting for death was not her style. Even if she was to die, she wanted to take a chunk out of her opponent!

Since she couldn’t get close, she had to resort to long-range attacks!

The biggest challenge of long-range attacking was spiritual power.

Without any hesitation, Ji You spread her Spiritual Silk Network far and wide: 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters... She dodged every shell through monitoring and prediction via her Spiritual Network. At the same time, she bit her lip and compressed all of the Ordinary Particle Cannons in her armory, compressed them again...

Not stopping until she compressed it into a shell with a diameter of approximately 1 millimeter.

Large beads of sweat continued to fall from her forehead.

After getting everything ready, she was not in a hurry. While dodging the enemy’s gunfire, she patiently waited, leading those Tracking Particle Cannons chasing her around the arena in circles. Then, finally, she found a Tracking Particle Cannon less than 1000 meters from the enemy.

Now was the time—

Ji You took aim, and without any hesitation, fired her only shell, directly at the Tracking Particle Cannon closest to the enemy.

Boom—
