The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Left Alone

Sheng Qingyan widened her eyes, staring at Ji You in utter disbelief: ”No way? You actually say you won’t regret it? Let me tell you, you will definitely regret it if you don’t go!”

Stomping her foot forcefully, Sheng Qingyan looked at Ji You with disdain and said, ”Do you even realize what you’re giving up? You have no idea! I occupy two floor spaces in Green Glaze Master’s store, I could have shared one with you if you didn’t refuse.”

After finishing her rant, Sheng Qingyan gave Ji You a look that said ’you must be regretting it now’, ’you certainly regret it now’, ’if you regret it, hurry up and beg me’, expecting Ji You to change her mind.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was utterly speechless.

Share a piece of the floor?

She used to go directly to the store’s back office and log off after updating new products, never even seeing what the front hall was like. Little did she expect that her store’s display floor was so hotly contested...

Ji You could only think: These people are just idle.

Seeing Ji You’s expressionless face, Sheng Qingyan asked, ”Poor dead, why are you not reacting after I said so much?”

Ji You blinked, ”What reaction should I give?”

Sheng Qingyan stomped her foot: ”Forget it! I’ll just squat with Jiaojiao.”

Saying this, Sheng Qingyan eagerly stared at Chu Jiaojiao, who looked disgusted and said, ”Not going!”

Sheng Qingyan anxiously said, ”Master is updating new items in three days, you will definitely regret not going.”

Chu Jiaojiao looked at Ji You and gigglingly said, ”I’ll go if Ji You goes with me.”

”You guys do whatever, I’m not going.” Ji You turned around and walked away.

It’s a joke, who in their right mind would compete for their own store’s floor or squat in their own store? If she said that out loud, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

After jogging and having breakfast, the group hurried to class. Today’s class was like any other day, with each student training strenuously against the clock, no one slacking off.

The morning was dedicated to physical fitness training. Mu Jianling looked at the students and suddenly said, ”You have been training one-on-one for a while now, but the cooperation in a group setting is still poor. Thus, from now on, I will shuffle you all and randomly assign you into groups daily. Each group will compete against each other daily, and the ultimate victorious group will each receive 5 academic points.”

Whoosh~

Once these words were spoken, the students’ enthusiasm for training surged even more, especially upon hearing about the bonus academic points; their eyes all lit up.

Mu Jianling glanced at the students and with a slight smirk said, ”The losing group, on the other hand, will each lose 5 academic points.”

Students: ”...”

One of the bolder ones immediately raised a hand, suggesting, ”Teacher... isn’t this a bit unreasonable? If someone keeps getting placed in the losing group, won’t their academic points be deducted completely?”

Immediately, quite a few people chimed in, ”Yeah, yeah, isn’t that too unlucky?”

Hearing this, Mu Jianling’s expression remained unchanged, he simply replied lightly, ”If they’re depleted, it’s because of your bad luck and lack of skills. Who else can you blame?”

Students: ”...”

The comment was simply infuriating, but — few dared to openly confront Teacher Mu Jianling. Yue Qiguang, this fool, even raised his elbow to nudge Ji You, gesturing for the headstrong Ji You to go up and confront him.

Ji You glanced at Yue Qiguang and quietly stepped back.

Yue Qiguang disdainfully said, ”Coward.”

Ji You rolled her eyes: ”You do it if you think you can.”

It’s a joke, things are different now. Who is Teacher Mu Jianling?

He’s her creditor!

A major creditor!

With a stack of servitude contracts in Teacher Mu’s hands, how could she afford to joke with her life and property?

Though Yue Qiguang talked the talk, he also didn’t dare to confront Teacher Mu directly. Thus — the room was as silent as chickens, and Teacher Mu Jianling’s domineering training approach began.

Group assignment is done randomly by the system, and it took less than 2 seconds to get sorted.

Everyone, over a thousand students, was divided into just two groups today, each containing more than 500 members. Then, Mu Jianling set the time for the competition; when time’s up, the group with the most remaining members wins.

Watching the members of the two groups line up and go to their respective sides, Ji You waited and waited but didn’t receive her grouping information. She was extremely surprised, wondering if she had been missed out.

But—

That’s impossible.

Finally, unable to hold back, Ji You raised her hand and asked, ”Teacher... um... do I not need to participate in the training today?”

”Oh—” Just as he was about to open his Light Computer to find last night’s episode, Mu Jianling paused and said, ”I almost forgot about you. Go there, and practice with the Little Robot.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

She thought she misheard, ”Teacher! Really? I have to practice alone with the Little Robot?”

Mu Jianling nodded: ”Yes.”

Ji You opened her mouth, ”But... but that’s not fair. Everyone else is going to team matches...” She was the only one to spar with a robot? It really didn’t look good talking about it.

Mu Jianling hummed lightly, ”Unwilling?”

Ji You scratched her head, ”Not that. It just feels... weird.”

Beside her, Sheng Qingyan, seeing Ji You left out, felt extremely envious and came over to whisper, ”Teacher... maybe I should call out to student Ji You too?”

Ji You’s eyes lit up.

Suddenly, Mu Jianling stepped forward and kicked Sheng Qingyan away, ”It’s none of your business.”

Sheng Qingyan, rubbing her butt and with a facial expression full of regret and complaints, ran away.

Mu Jianling raised his hand and knocked on Ji You’s head, scolding, ”Go train.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You muttered softly, ”But I’ve been fighting with the Little Robot for so long, times have changed, I can’t bear to bully it anymore.”

Behind her, Mu Jianling said eerily, ”Oh—really?”

Ji You quickly ducked her head, only to hear Mu Jianling say coldly: ”If you can’t beat the Little Robot, you’ll lose 5 academic points.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You opened her mouth, ”Teacher... what if I win?”

Mu Jianling replied, ”No points deducted if you win.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You incredulously, ”There are no bonus points?”

Mu Jianling gave her a sidelong glance, not very kindly, ”No.”

As soon as he said that, spotting Ji You’s aggrieved expression, Mu Jianling snapped, ”Keep dawdling, and I’ll deduct 5 points.”

Ji You had no choice but to begrudgingly walk over to the Little Robot, her face full of deep-seated enmity, ”Little Robot, don’t blame me for being ruthless today, blame it on your existence in an unreasonable world.”

The Little Robot, sleek and shimmering metallically, suddenly blinked its electronic eyes, and mechanically replied, ”The society of this century is a law-abiding and orderly society; there is no unreasonableness, please mind your language.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, shocked, ”You got an upgrade?”

Little Robot: ”The chip was replaced; I am now a qualified warrior robot.”

Ji You: ”...”
