The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Schools Are All Wolves

Chapter 396

As soon as Dr. Luo spoke, Ji You’s brow furrowed.

Always like this?

No improvement?

To remain ordinary?

...

If it were just Ji You, with no way out on the garbage planet, she might have resigned herself to her fate over time, but just a moment ago, she had confirmed her goals and certainly didn’t want to give up.

Without conditions, she must create conditions to rise.

In any case, she would absolutely not let herself sink into mediocrity.

Dr. Luo said, ”I explained the importance of the Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate to you last time, but your innate Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate is 100%, and you have only six threads. I originally thought if you used Candy Beans, Cloud Mist Tea, etc., they would stimulate your Spiritual Silk, and with some luck, it might even be possible to regenerate them... Now it seems, I was wrong.”

The more Ji You listened, the heavier her heart felt.

No one knew better than her that her Spiritual Silk truly hadn’t increased. Each time she consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like Candy Beans and Cloud Mist Tea, her six Spiritual Threads were very happy, just like children in the 21st century wearing new clothes, eating candy, and receiving New Year’s money during the Chinese New Year, and even, every time, the Iron Plate that hid in the Spiritual World not knowing which bump would come out and snatch food from the Spiritual Silk.

But whether it was the Spiritual Silk or the Iron Plate, after eating so much, there was no particularly noticeable change.

The Iron Plate is glossier? The Spiritual Silk is thicker?

Can that even be considered a change?

Of course not.

The truth, as Ji You had guessed, was confirmed by Dr. Luo after a thorough examination of Ji You’s Spiritual World; the data from the instruments were the most direct, showing no change.

Ji You rubbed her face and asked in a low voice, ”Dr. Luo, then, what can I do about my situation?”

Dr. Luo also felt a bit heavy-hearted, she responded with a smile, ”Although eating Candy Beans and Cloud Mist Tea didn’t stimulate the regeneration of your Spiritual Silk, it’s not completely useless. They have improved your spiritual power threshold and strength. So, you shouldn’t entirely give up on these...”

Ji You listened quietly, without interrupting.

Dr. Luo softly suggested, ”Besides that, I recommend that you use a Soul Device.”

Ji You’s eyes widened, ”Soul Device?”

Dr. Luo nodded and said, ”Yes, no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures affect spiritual power as well as a Soul Device. With your special condition, perhaps only frequent and extensive use of a Soul Device can make a difference.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Frequent?

Extensive?

Just hearing these words made her heart tremble with fear.

How precious a Soul Device is, Ji You knew from having sold a few; the key was that the ones she made herself were useless, so she must buy those made by others.

How tragic.

Sigh!

While Dr. Luo looked at Ji You’s bitter face and felt sympathy, she still couldn’t help but chuckle slightly, ”Don’t be too anxious. Focus on your training now, firmly grasp your own advantages, and you’ll have no worries about making money in the future. Anyway, it’s a long and drawn-out process, so don’t rush.”

Ji You’s face was gloomy, and she said distressed, ”That’s easy to say, but I still feel so suffocated.”

Dr. Luo chuckled and said, ”Many people with normal spiritual power spend their whole lives laboriously polishing and cleaning their Spiritual Silk, struggling a lifetime and not even reaching above 30%. With your situation, others might even envy you.”

Ji You scratched her head, on the verge of tears, ”But... but at least they have hope if they work hard. In my case, no matter how hard I try, it might all turn out to be in vain.”

This is truly the most despairing thing.

Alas!

After Ji You said this, Mu Jianling, who had been keeping a stern face, scolded: ”Idiot! How would you know if you don’t try? The path is walked by oneself. If you have time to complain, then spend more time training.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You quickly responded: ”Teacher is right, we carve our own path. If one way doesn’t work, I’ll try several more until one day I find the correct one.”

Mu Jianling’s frosty gaze softened slightly, she turned to Dr. Luo and said, ”Luo Wei, please provide a report on her physical strength and also prepare a medicinal solution suitable for her condition.”

Dr. Luo smiled, ”The results are already out. There has been an improvement in her physical condition lately, but it’s still very weak. To give you an example, compared to Chu Jiaojiao, ten Ji Yous wouldn’t match one-tenth of Chu Jiaojiao.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, with trembling hands, weakly asked, ”Am I really that weak?”

Although Ji You had noticed it herself, she never expected the gap to be this huge.

Dr. Luo smiled, ”Don’t doubt a professional doctor. It’s impossible for you to reach the level of someone like Chu Jiaojiao, but don’t panic. By following a scientific method and gradually improving, increasing your strength by 50-60% more than now is feasible.”

A 50-60% improvement?

That’s still better than no improvement at all. Ji You quickly asked, ”What is the method?”

Dr. Luo smiled slightly and said softly, ”To achieve the improvement, we must set a training plan specifically for your physical strength and specially prepare a medicinal solution to accompany it. Of course—I am only responsible for the medicinal solution. The specialized training part will still need to be set by Teacher Mu.”

Is this the medicinal solution Teacher Mu just mentioned?

Ji You asked, ”Dr. Luo... have you prepared the medicinal solution?”

Dr. Luo smiled, ”I’ve just set the proportion of the ingredients. Wait another half an hour, and it should be ready. However, this isn’t fixed; it needs to be adjusted anytime based on the actual effects.”

Ji You understood and quickly said, ”Thank you, Dr. Luo, for your concerns.”

Then, she turned her head and said to Teacher Mu Jianling: ”Teacher... thank you for your concerns as well.”

Mu Jianling snorted, ”It’s strictly business, no need for thanks.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s heart ached sharply as she timidly asked, ”How... how much is it?”

As someone who was financially strained, just hearing about prices made her heart spasm...

Mu Jianling said, ”My training method costs 50,000 points, no credit, one-time payment.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

What?

50,000?

What kind of earth-shattering training method is this? Is it the Swallowing Gold Method?

Mu Jianling said indifferently, ”Take it or leave it.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You didn’t dare to look at Teacher Mu Jianling again. Turning her head, she cautiously glanced at Dr. Luo who had a very gentle and kind expression on her face. This slightly reassured her, and she mustered the courage to ask, ”Dr. Luo, how much is your medicinal solution?”

Dr. Luo smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, the medicinal solution I prepare is specifically for your unique physical condition. Furthermore, I will adjust it based on how well it works for you, so you don’t have to settle the bill all at once. You can make payments in installments, each dose costing 5,000 points.”

Ji You: ”!!!”
