The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Fawning for Favor

After setting up the lottery event, Ji You thought for a moment and sent the news to Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang... As Ji You expected, the moment she sent her message, her contact number was bombarded by several people.

Ji You kept a straight face, replying indifferently and uniformly: ”The lottery event is open and transparent, fair and impartial, completely dependent on luck, with no possibility of cheating. Also: I do not accept any bribes, thank you!”

Message sent.

Ji You immediately set her status to temporarily refuse any incoming messages and hurriedly rolled into bed to sleep.

The next day.

Ji You, dressed in a tank top, was getting ready to go for a morning jog when she opened her dorm room door only to have several heads pop up in front of her, scrambling to get close to Ji You... Ji You’s finger twitched, almost slamming the door shut again.

Each of the faces looked at Ji You sycophantically, with Sheng Qingyan speaking first as their representative, ”Classmate Ji You, oh... you’re awake? Tired or not? Want me to give you a shoulder rub, a little back massage, huh?”

Ji You glanced at them sidelong: ”Unwarranted kindness is either treachery or theft!”

Sheng Qingyan stamped her feet: ”I’m not like that...”

Ji You raised her hand to push Sheng Qingyan aside, and Yue Qiguang jumped forward, blocking Ji You. Normally his handsome face would be arrogant and proud, but now there was a hint of an unnatural smile as he said: ”Silly... cough... Classmate Ji You, are you hungry? Dad...”

”Cough cough...”

”I’ve prepared a rich breakfast for you.”

”Here!”

It took several interrupted attempts to finally get the words out. Yue Qiguang, fearful Ji You wouldn’t accept it, quickly thrust the breakfast box into her arms and immediately hopped away a few steps.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You looked at the breakfast box in her hands; inside was a long-legged chicken egg, a sesame pancake, a spring roll, a cup of soy milk...

And...

It was quite a feast.

But!!!

Yue Qiguang, the miser, was willing to buy breakfast for her voluntarily?

Moreover, Yue Qiguang was already taking care of Ji You’s meals for the month, and this fool might seem stupid on the surface, but he’s quite the schemer in his mind, the click-clacks of his calculating clearly audible.

Hmph!

As Yue Qiguang stepped away, Ji You, quick as a flash, grabbed his clothes and stuffed the breakfast box back to him at once.

Yue Qiguang frantically ruffled his hair and said irritably, ”What are you doing? Eat!”

Ji You glanced at his face, ”Seeing your unlucky mug first thing in the morning instantly kills all my appetite.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Muttering under his breath, Yue Qiguang walked away.

Yue Qiyuan filled in, tilting at Ji You with his elbows crossed over his chest, brazenly saying, ”Number 4444, let’s be frank, I came here early in the morning just to buy a Soul Device. Do you think it’s possible to get a few of the new Soul Devices from Green Glaze Master?”

Ji You rolled her eyes, ”Let’s be frank. Impossible, don’t even think about it.”

Yue Qiyuan immediately responded with disdain, ”What’s the use of you!”

Ji You: ”...”

Unable to hold back, Ji You lifted her foot intending to kick him in the butt.

Yue Qiyuan dropped the statement and swiftly dodged away. Ji You missed her kick and felt a hint of regret when Chu Jiaojiao stepped up with a shy smile, ”Classmate Ji You, you’re a hundred times more beautiful today than you were yesterday.”

Ji You dismissively said to her, ”I’m really tired of that line.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao wracked her brains, trying to think of other compliments she could offer, but Ji You raised her hand and pushed her aside. At that moment, Shen Changqing proactively approached her, first fixing his handsome, prime-aged face on Ji You for a few seconds, revealing a look as if he had something to say but hesitated.

Ji You took a deep breath and said, ”Classmate Shen Changqing, I don’t think you can say anything flattering anyway, so—you may step back.”

Shen Changqing pursed his lips and nodded: ”Okay.”

He was quite straightforward, making way for Ji You readily.

Ji You stepped forward, and Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiyuan, and others all took a step back, raising their hands in unison, ”Respected salesperson, please go ahead!”

Ji You: ”...”

Listening to these bootlickers, Ji You’s step faltered, and her little heart also trembled.

She...

She had never imagined that casually adopting the alias of a salesperson would have such a powerful effect. If she had known—

If she had known, she would have assumed the role sooner.

Cough cough...

Ji You glanced sidelong at the group and spouted some serious nonsense, ”Put away your little schemes. I am just a humble salesperson, not the master himself. How could I possibly influence the master’s thoughts? If you want a Soul Device, tonight you’ll have to rely on the speed of your hands and the luck of your face.”

Therefore, under the gaze of her plastic classmates, Ji You, dressed in a little tank top, walked confidently with a stride that did not recognize family...

...

Training continued as usual that day. Ji You was quite satisfied with her training results. She felt that when piloting Chasing Sun, against a level 1 Star Beast, she could kill it with one blow. Against a level 2 Star Beast, she could kill it swiftly with full effort. Against a level 3 Star Beast, she had the power to fight. As for a level 4 Star Beast, she couldn’t engage in battle, but she could run away...

Of course, this was how Ji You felt about herself. To know the actual situation, it would require real combat.

One day of training ended.

Mu Jianling looked at the students and said, ”Training ends tomorrow, we’ll set out at six o’clock the day after tomorrow. In these two days, collect yourselves, train properly, and communicate with me timely if there are any issues.”

The students responded loudly: ”Understood.”

Mu Jianling said: ”Class dismissed.”

After saying that, she left.

After dinner with a few friends, Ji You conscientiously completed the punishment tasks of cleaning the horse stable and the rabbit shed, then hurried back to the dormitory. Everyone logged onto Star Network immediately, racing to Green Glaze Master’s shop.

At this point, 12 hours had passed since Qingyou Shop’s promotional announcement was made. The news spread from one person to ten, ten to a hundred... the entrance of Qingyou Shop was nearly trampled down by the throngs of people...

The event had not yet started, and inside the shop, there was only an assistant robot given by the system. This robot was mass-produced and not very smart. Unable to get more useful information from the robot, the crowd that surrounded the shop gave up on that endeavor and waited patiently for Qingyou Shop to officially open.

After logging in, Ji You immediately received a message from Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu said: ”Master, the publicity I did was not bad, right?”

Ji You nodded: ”Not bad.”

Cheng Yu giggled, then immediately, his face wrinkled with concern, saying, ”Master... I’ve told you about my half-brother from the same father before. He now knows my online identity and hasn’t given up on probing your real-life identity. He’s also been trying to contact you on Star Network. Have you... Have you been in contact with him?”

As he said this, Cheng Yu’s tone was very cautious. He understood the trouble he had brought to the master and also feared that the master might suddenly cancel his salesman qualification and not want him anymore...

Hearing this, Ji You indifferently said, ”Who is he? Just an irrelevant person, none of my concern.”
