The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Speed Battle Showdown

Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao swiftly paid for Ji You, then Sheng Qingyan rolled up his sleeves, looking at Ji You with such an expression as if his eyes weren’t eyes and his nose wasn’t a nose: ”You poor dead, you’re done... Do you know what you’ve lost?”

Ji You snorted: ”What?”

Sheng Qingyan said: ”You’ve lost the friendship of the world’s number one Little Cutie.”

Ji You hummed: ”I don’t need the friendship of this Little Cutie.”

Sheng Qingyan was momentarily choked up and stomped his foot fiercely: ”This has infuriated Little Cutie! So infuriating...”

Beside them, Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan looked at Ji You with expressions that practically had the word ’Disdain’ written all over their faces.

But Ji You didn’t care about all that; she was just enjoying herself inside.

Shen Changqing promised to give 150,000!

From Chu Jiaojiao, she should at least extract 100,000 or 80,000.

Considering this, without much effort and just by flipping the Soul Device, she netted a clean 250,000.

Thinking of this, Ji You smiled until her eyes were almost squinting: Genius!

In the whole wide world, who could be more talented than herself?

No one!

Absolutely no one!

”What are you laughing at!” Ji You, who suddenly split her lips into a silly smile showing eight teeth, was tugged on the elbow by Sheng Qingyan who covered his mouth with disgust and said, ”Even drooling unknowingly, don’t know what you are laughingly being silly about... The sale is about to start, get ready... Remember to flip it over to someone else if you manage to snatch it.”

Drooling?

Ji You subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.

No?

At this moment—

Cheng Yu explained once again the details of the five Soul Devices for sale, loudly declared: ”Ladies and gentlemen, the Soul Devices are about to go on sale—”

”3!”

”2!”

”1!”

Boom!

Suddenly, numerous pink hearts burst open in the air above the shop, and they fluttered down slowly...

Rustling...

Swoosh...

In an instant, everyone in the shop and even people on the surrounding streets tensed up, ready for action, and the moment the countdown ended, nearly everyone jumped up simultaneously and frantically grabbed at the flying pink hearts...

Among these pink hearts, only five represented the Soul Devices, the rest were empty. Empty hearts, you could pop them with a finger poke.

When all five Soul Devices were grabbed, the game would end...

Everyone at the scene, their minds were completely hooked by these pink hearts, even the usually reserved and protocol-abiding Shen Changqing had a visible excitement on his face.

Chu Jiaojiao was the craziest, grabbing the hearts while yelling loudly.

Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan, being twins, had great coordination at this time, they swept clean a radius of tens of meters around them of any hearts, leaving no stone unturned...

Sheng Qingyan, who didn’t seem serious, when he started to focus, his speed was no less than Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao... In an instant, he cleared all the hearts around him and immediately moved to another spot.

...

Watching this scene, Ji You, while catching the hearts, couldn’t help but admire Cheng Yu’s strategic abilities; I must say, orchestrating this event not only boosted the customers’ shopping enthusiasm but also entertained everyone physically and mentally, and even increased the shop’s popularity...

Huh?

This heart looks a bit odd.

Ji You glanced over.

And glanced again.

And then—

Ji You noticed that this heart seemed to be conscious, as if it didn’t notice her gaze, it deliberately shook its body towards her then silently turned its back, only facing her with the back of its head...

Is this a Soul Device heart?

Just as Ji You was about to reach out, suddenly a white, slender arm flew sideways, its hand attempting to snatch it...

The Soul Device heart’s entire body trembled violently.

Ji You yelled: ”Stop right there!”

The owner of the arm, not heeding Ji You’s stop, in a blink of an eye, grabbed towards the heart.

”There’s a Soul Device heart here!” Ji You yelled: ”Jiaojiao! Go!”

”Spicy Eye! Go!”

”You guys... hurry up!!!”

As soon as these words came out, not only Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan rushed over, but it also attracted a swarm of people from the surroundings.

However—

It was already too late.

The owner of the pale fingers had grabbed the Soul Device Heart, and was about to take off.

Ji You pounced fiercely!

The owner of the pale fingers got startled and yelled, ”Holy crap! It’s broad daylight, don’t mess around.”

Eh?

That voice?

The person retreated, and then retreated some more, barely avoiding Ji You’s sneak attack. Ji You only managed to catch a glimpse of half of his name: What Weak Chicken?

Then—

The person simply logged out.

”Idiot? Didn’t you grab it?”

”How come you didn’t grab it?”

”Poor dead, good for nothing and always messing things up!”

Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan and the others saw that their opponent had disappeared without a trace, which instantly infuriated them, and they immediately redirected their frustration by reproaching Ji You!

As for these words, Ji You let them go in one ear and out the other. She stretched out her hand, touching her chin, ”Just now, that guy, his voice really sounded a bit like Weak Chicken, and his name was something Weak Chicken too. Could it be the same person?”

In the competitive matches, Ji You has encountered countless opponents, but the only one who severely screwed her over was that Weak Chicken.

Every time she thought of that jerk, Ji You’s teeth gnashed with fury, itching to grab him and give him a good beating.

But—

Weak Chicken seemed to have disappeared, never showing up in the arena again, which left Ji You frustrated and unable to find him whenever she wanted to take her anger out.

The person who just tried to steal the Soul Device Heart just now sounded similar, looked similar, and even the feeling of his spiritual power was somewhat familiar...

Suddenly—

In the noisy shop, everyone heard a system announcement: [5 Soul Device Hearts have been captured, congratulations to the five friends who have successfully obtained the Soul Devices, and thank you all for coming to support our event. The event at Qingyou Shop has ended, please look forward to the next new arrival.]

Huh?

It’s over?

So quickly?

All together, it must have been less than 5 minutes since it started, and the results were already out.

”Who?”

”Who exactly stole my Soul Device?”

”Who?”

”Make a sound, will you.”

No one responded.

No one replied.

At this moment, the 5 lucky ones who got the Soul Devices, who dared to make a sound? Keeping a low profile was how they’d ’stay alive.’

Qingyou Shop announced closing, and no matter how dissatisfied the crowd was, this Soul Device sale had truly ended.

Then—

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan grouped together, everyone glanced at each other.

Ji You, arms crossed, couldn’t help but ask, ”Stop hiding it, quickly say, who got it?”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

Chu Jiaojiao shook her head, ”Yingyingying...”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath, ”Your fake crying, it looks just like Teacher Mu watching a horror movie.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

Yue Qiguang frowned heavily, ”Idiot! Don’t look at me, I didn’t get it.”

Yue Qiyuan sighed, ”Just not my fate.”

Everyone simultaneously turned towards Sheng Qingyan, Sheng Qingyan stomped her foot, ”I don’t have it either.”
