The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Skipping Procedure

After rejecting the friend request from Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, Ji You felt much more comfortable. Her whole being was relaxed and she felt a pleasant sense of joy, as if everything she ate was delicious, and everyone she saw was attractive.

Having lost 2 matches, she must choose her opponent carefully for the third one, or she would be eliminated. Ji You couldn’t afford to be careless anymore and started to meticulously pick an opponent she was more confident against.

Just then, Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee sent a message: [Are you rejecting me because you’re mad? I’m sorry... Next time I’ll be very gentle when I kill you.]

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s teeth ached with irritation, and without holding back, she cursed: [You deadbeat, just go away! Stop bothering me!]

After sending this message, Ji You thought it would calm things down, but unexpectedly—

Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee’s eyes lit up upon seeing the message, not angry at all, but instead replied happily: [You’ve got spunk! I like it!]

Ji You: ”...”

I forgot... That’s just how Chu Jiaojiao is.

The more you engage with her, the more energized she gets. The best strategy is to ignore her.

So—

Without hesitation, Ji You immediately blocked her.

And then—

Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, also known as Chu Jiaojiao, was about to send a stream of praise for the Rag Queen, only to find out she was blocked before she could even send it...

Blocked...

Chu Jiaojiao touched her chin: ”Indeed, quite the character.”

...

After blocking Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, Ji You was finally in peace and began looking for an opponent. It was at this moment that another challenge request came in. Ji You clicked to see it, and her eyes narrowed.

The challenger was: [Xiaoqing].

Accept?

Reject?

Logically, Ji You had fought Shen Changqing, also known as Xiaoqing, several times. She had both lost and won, and if she were to fight Xiaoqing now, Ji You estimated her chances of winning to be only 50%...

Too low.

The third match was crucial; she absolutely couldn’t afford to be careless. Usually, Ji You would be very happy to fight Shen Changqing, but now...

As Ji You was about to reject, for some reason, she suddenly remembered something her teacher Mu Jianling had said to her: she said because Ji You’s Mutated Spiritual Power was limited to Six Spiritual Threads, to put it nicely, it was a mutation, but bluntly it was a defect in spiritual power. How do disabled individuals change their lives? A blind person wants to see? They listen! A deaf person wants to hear? They feel! A mute person wants to speak? They gesture!

And Ji You?

Train!

The only way was to continuously train her Six Spiritual Threads! To continuously use them! To continuously strengthen them! To keep discovering new ways to utilize them...

So what should she actually do?

Challenge!

Keep challenging!

Challenge one formidable opponent after another, enter the battlefield every time with a determination to fight to the death!

From now on, whether it’s a competition, a friendly match, or an actual battle... one should always have a resolve to fight to the death, without any hope for luck or any second thoughts...

But what about herself?

Ji You questioned herself - she hadn’t really met Mu Jianling’s expectations. Since stepping into the online competition, she had her own measurements and scheming in every fight...

Like right now, because the third challenge was critical, if she lost, she’d definitely be eliminated, thus she dared not accept Shen Changqing’s challenge, for fear of losing.

If she lost, that would be it.

This—

Was after weighing all her options and leaving herself some leeway, some space...

But—

”A determination to fight to the death, huh?”

Ji You couldn’t help but say these words out loud, and all at once, her hands clenched tightly, the indecisiveness in her eyes turned entirely into determination and resolve:

”In that case, why not go all out in one battle!”

Having said that!

Ji You decisively chose to accept, but half a second before her finger pressed down, she paused, then swiftly selected a mech directly from the system store’s mech library—

Blade!

This mech, which balanced speed, firepower, and defense and was exceedingly compact and exquisite, was simply too suitable for her! Ever since her battle with Little Shengsheng, Ji You had set her heart on ’Blade’.

That is—

points.

Ouch, that hurts!

Ji You gritted her teeth: Bought it!

After making the purchase, Ji You immediately chose to accept.

And then—

The audience following Rag Queen, with melons in hand, immediately discovered she was starting a new round of competition. Instantly, banners were raised across the forums: [Breaking news!!! Rag Queen’s third key battle—is this a complete farewell? Or will the quest continue far and wide?]

Let’s vote together!

Win: ???

Lose: ???

Little Shengsheng and Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee are both top masters of the East District. Having fought a match with each, despite her losses, Ji You’s performance was remarkable, and no one doubted her strength. Thus, her popularity was booming, and in the span of one second, countless people swarmed into the voting pool...

Quickly, the voting results of millions of people were in.

Win: 29%.

Lose: 71%.

If Ji You saw these results, she would be infuriated to death. Of course, she didn’t know yet, so while preparing for the match, her heart was very peaceful.

Arena.

The audience was vast as the sea, and cries were surging. Some were shouting for Rag Queen, some for Xiaoqing, but since Xiaoqing kept a low profile, she didn’t have many fans, so most of the cheers were for Ji You’s name:

”Queen! After finishing this match, where are you planning to eat?”

”Queen! Don’t be afraid, there’s nothing wrong with losing, we don’t lose face either.”

”Queen! Believe in yourself, you are the fattest and brightest kid in the field! No matter the outcome, rest assured, I’m still your fan! Wherever you are, my heart will always be with you.”

”That’s right! Wherever you are, our hearts are with you!”

...

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You glanced at the audience, annoyed: ”Fake fans, can you all quiet down a bit? Can’t you let me fight in peace?”

Audience: ”Hahaha...”

Of course, many people were also guessing, which mech would Xiaoqing use this time?

Antique mech?

Or?

If Xiaoqing still used the antique mech, then the upcoming duel would be a peak battle between two antique mechs, and the process would be extremely splendid; everyone was looking forward to it—

Then, Xiaoqing slowly revealed her mech in front of everyone—

It was—

Antique mech!

In an instant, the audience applauded vigorously: ”Wow—this is going to be exciting!”

Following that, it was Ji You’s turn to reveal her mech. In front of millions of eyes, she slowly, very slowly, took out her trump card weapon for this round—

A brand new ’Blade’, its cold luster slowly revealed its entirety.

Once the full appearance of the mech was revealed, the audience, who weren’t paying much attention before, suddenly widened their eyes in shock!

Audience: ”!!!”

Holy shit!

What’s going on?

This Rag Queen, she doesn’t follow the script!
