The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Trash Talk Unmatched

Chu Jiaojiao acted so decisively that she didn’t even bother with words, and just started blasting away.

Aries reacted quite swiftly, immediately dodging to the side—

However—

Chu Jiaojiao’s onslaught was ferocious! In the blink of an eye, she fired three Particle Cannons, blocking Aries’ forward, backward, and left directions. Just as Aries retreated, he was met with a Particle Cannon head-on; he didn’t dodge but activated his Protective Shield and opened his gun barrel to strike back directly!

Chu Jiaojiao curled her lips: ”I was hoping you wouldn’t dodge.”

Right then, Aries suddenly felt a chill on his back, as dozens of cannon fires bombarded him at once!

A frown formed between Aries’ brows, thinking this violent woman was indeed as fearsome as imagined.

Without a word, he activated his maximum defense mode—even though his Protective Shield wasn’t top-of-the-line, it was still worth 50,000 points.

But!!!

Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee suddenly closed in, drawing an energy knife and slashing fiercely at the Protective Shield!

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

...

Listening to the loud clangs, Aries’ heart skipped a beat, and the calm on his face shattered!

Damn it!

Could she actually smash the Protective Shield?

Aries’ worry was not unfounded, because the impact noise from the crashing Big Saber was so intense, it made his head buzz!

The audience gasped in astonishment:

”Holy shit!”

”Beast!”

”The beast is back!”

...

How could Aries remain passive? He immediately began to counterattack, and a 50,000-point Protective Shield couldn’t possibly be broken by sheer brute force?

Chu Jiaojiao’s frown deepened.

Then—

She switched to a different attack method!

Everyone saw dozens of Particle Cannons fire simultaneously at a single point on the Protective Shield!

Following that—

Chu Jiaojiao advanced instead of retreating, charging head-on toward the Particle Cannons—

And then—

The audience saw, in the moment the dozens of Particle Cannons exploded, the mecha of Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee exploded too!

Audience: ”!!!”

Self-Destruction?

Detonated?

Click~

Aries’ Protective Shield, along with his mecha, was also obliterated in a flash, sparks flying everywhere!

In a critical moment, he hurried to seek refuge in the protective capsule, however—

From an angled approach, a hand suddenly reached out and yanked Aries out whole!

Audience in the stands: ”!!!”

Aries: ”!!!”

Chu Jiaojiao grabbed Aries, as if she was picking up a little chick, tossed him away after picking him up, then, the energy knife hacked down with a snap!

Thump~

Chu Jiaojiao stuffed Aries’ head into a trash can: ”Pathetic wretch.”

Audience: ”...”

Silence.

Utter silence.

The silence was profound.

After a long while.

Ji You shivered with goosebumps and said, ”I’m now somewhat doubtful of Jiaojiao’s gender.”

Yue Qiguang: ”Still need doubts?”

Yue Qiyuan: ”Be confident, get rid of the doubt.”

Shen Changqing still hesitated to speak.

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth and said, ”Jiaojiao is still too humane, oh, throwing such a person into the trash is a waste.”

...

System: [This match has ended, Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee wins.]

Chu Jiaojiao’s victory meant she advanced directly into the top three, along with Little Shengsheng, who had a bye. There was still one more spot for the top three.

Fu Feng?

Or the Rag Queen?

The fight between Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee and Aries was too cruel, too violent, that the spectators in the stands couldn’t bear to recall it...

So—

Everyone began predicting the outcome of the next match.

”I bet on Fu Feng because of his Money Ability.”

”I guess it’s the Rag Queen, because she’s utterly inhumane.”

”This matchup should be a 50-50 toss-up!”

”Man, this is gonna be tough, who’s gonna win?”

”Personally, I want to support the Rag Queen, but man, her face and that mouth have sent me packing several times.”

”Personally, I want to support Fu Feng, but then again? I really can’t stand the filthy rich...”

...

Ji You kept a straight face, pondering for quite a while before the official competition, hesitating between using an antique mech or the Blade, considering that Fu Feng might unleash his Money Ability, she gritted her teeth, and finally decided to purchase a new Blade.

It cost her 5000 points!

The pain was real!

Those points were from agreeing to participate in the team competition with Shen Changqing and the others, where they offered a reward of 10000 points.

Just like that, half were gone.

Having spent the points, Ji You resigned to her fate, kept her face straight, and entered the arena.

As soon as she entered, the audience burst into laughter: ”Rag Queen, you’re back again?”

”How many yards of thick skin did you bring today?”

”Ever considered how to gracefully concede defeat after losing?”

...

Faced with the audience’s jests, Ji You remained silent, unusually mute.

Audience: ”Huh?”

Has she changed her ways?

Is this the Rag Queen?

Many thought so and even went back to check the information on both contestants, and sure enough, it was right!

But—

The Rag Queen kept her silence.

Now that was really strange.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Just as the people in the audience started to wonder if the Rag Queen had been hexed or had her mouth sealed shut,

Suddenly—

”Cough cough...” The Rag Queen spoke. She cleared her throat, looked at the audience, and said, ”Actually, I was pondering a very serious question!”

Audience: ”???”

Ji You: ”I was thinking about what to say when I become the number one in the Alliance.”

Audience: ”...”

Ji You: ”As an outstanding powerhouse like myself, my victory speech has to be unique and not clichéd.”

Audience: ”...”

Audience A: ”Enough already, geez!”

Audience B: ”Got any shame?”

Audience C: ”Would she say something like that if she had any?”

Audience D: ”When it comes to thick skin, Rag Queen takes the cake!”

...

Listening to everyone’s banter, Ji You smirked and hee-heed, saying: ”Thanks for your support, everyone. Before the official match begins, please join me in saying: Rag Queen, the strongest in the arena!”

Audience: ”...”

Silence.

No one made a peep.

Ji You, not the least bit embarrassed, continued, ”Rag Queen, sweeping through the competition!”

Audience: ”...”

”That’s the spirit.”

”It’s the familiar flavor we know~”

”The same exasperating feeling~”

...

Opposite, as the Rag Queen’s opponent, Fu Feng was exceptionally quiet, standing still like a tree stump, without a single move...

The audience started heckling: ”Fu Feng, your opponent is looking down on you, don’t you have anything to say?”

Fu Feng: ”...”

Fu Feng remained silent.

The audience heckled again: ”If you’re a man, say something!”

Fu Feng still didn’t respond, perfectly embodying the phrase ’action speaks louder than words.’

After several provocations, the audience ran out of steam.

Suddenly, Ji You said, ”Why aren’t you speaking?”

Fu Feng: ”No need.”

Ji You grinned and smirked, ”I think it’s very necessary to give your concession speech in advance, otherwise, you might not get the chance to speak at all.”

Fu Feng: ”...”

Audience: ”Rag Queen, you are truly the ultimate definition of a trash-talker.”
