The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 759: Chapter 759: The Salesman Comes Knocking

Ji You and the group, like monkeys, agilely climbed onto the spaceship.

Mu Jianling scolded with laughter: ”Deliberately courting trouble, you rascals!”

As her words fell, the smile on Mu Jianling’s face disappeared, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes as she looked at the rising spaceship:

Too early.

It shouldn’t be this early.

However—

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the attack of a storm.

Moreover, time waits for no one.

Eaglets need to be released to soar in the sky.

...

Thinking this, Mu Jianling’s face regained its usual indifference, and then, with hands behind her back, she slowly walked towards the assessment area for the other students.

...

Here.

On the spaceship, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing... all sat together, their expressions tense:

Ji You said, ”Guys, we are about to break through the atmosphere.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the spaceship’s body slightly shook and broke through the atmosphere of NY50 Star, heading towards space.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing... their faces all filled with excitement!

Lou jumped up and said, ”Wow! I finally flew out into space by myself!”

Lance blinked his big blue eyes: ”Me too! I’m so excited!”

Xuzhou and Zhang Ye didn’t say anything, but their eyes revealed excitement too.

As soon as Sheng Qingyan boarded the spaceship, he laid down to sleep, claiming that the universe’s number-one cutie must have sufficient sleep.

No one bothered Sheng Qingyan, letting him be.

Yue Qiguang glanced at Lou and Lance, and with a smirk said: ”Old fashioned! Daddy here piloted a spaceship into space for a round trip when I was 11!”

Beside him, Yue Qiyuan added solemnly: ”It’s just that he got caught by my dad and had his legs broken.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Nevertheless, when Lou, Lance, Zhang Ye, and Xuzhou heard Yue Qiguang’s words, they instantly widened their eyes, with Lou even pursuing further, asking: ”Yue Qiguang, did you really pilot a spaceship alone at 11?”

Yue Qiguang was feeling proud, but before he could speak, Yue Qiyuan said: ”It was just a toy spaceship, fully automatic, no operation needed, and he only got past the atmosphere of the Main Star and hadn’t started having fun before getting caught by my dad.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang’s forehead veins throbbed: ”Yue Qiyuan, can’t you just shut up?”

Yue Qiyuan: ”No.”

”Ahem...” Lou coughed, saying, ”Ah Guang is still amazing! So brave.”

...

Everyone bantered playfully, and as the spaceship continued to travel, they soon could no longer see the planet NY50 Star.

Ji You turned serious and commanded: ”Everyone, listen to my command. Stay alert and adhere to the roles we just assigned, each maintaining your position.”

Everyone: ”Yes.”

Shortly after leaving the NY50 Star, the location of their spaceship remained within a very safe travel route.

It is known that NY50 Star is a military food reserve base, and with military forces guarding nearby star domains, they wouldn’t allow interstellar pirates or Star Beasts to wreak havoc here.

Ji You isn’t worried about such accidents, but she still made personnel arrangements immediately.

Lou and Lance were responsible for monitoring the spaceship’s navigation in the cockpit, making timely adjustments if any deviations occurred.

Chu Jiaojiao and Xuzhou are responsible for surveilling the surrounding area; upon noticing anything unusual, they must immediately report.

Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan are in charge of the spaceship, Mecha, and energy weapon inspection and maintenance.

Zhang Ye, Yue Qiguang, and Sheng Qingyan are the first to rest and will alternate shifts with others later. Resting personnel rota every 3 hours to ensure everyone has enough sleep.

Ji You is overseeing everything.

...

The journey was smooth, and by the next day, they had traveled one-third of the route.

Cockpit.

Lou suddenly announced: ”Prepare—the spaceship is about to cross Jump Point 39, the next destination is—”

Boom—

As Lou finished speaking, the peaceful starry sea parted as Ji You and their ship entered the Jump Point, emerging a few minutes later from another.

In the distance, there was a faint light, continuously flickering.

The spaceship headed rapidly towards the direction of the light.

Soon, a kite-shaped space station appeared before everyone’s eyes, where one could faintly hear the bustling voices of people.

Inside the cockpit, Lou’s voice, with a hint of excitement and elation, announced: ”Kite Space Station, arrived smoothly.”

Through the spaceship’s surveillance, Ji You could clearly see the scenery within the docking port of Kite Space Station.

No abnormalities.

Ji You raised his hand, saying: ”Everyone, prepare to disembark.”

Kite Space Station is a completely man-made station, specifically designed to provide supplies to various spaceships and Starships passing by. This Star Domain is Alliance territory, making the station under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Alliance, though, it is a privately-owned station.

Yes, it is a commercial space station built by a private enterprise with the approval of the Alliance. Hence, the station includes not just routine supplies but also various business centers, catering, leisure, entertainment...

Ji You and the team could have bypassed this stop, but considering potential emergencies like energy shortages en route, it would be too late to resupply later. Additionally, the route marked by Teacher Mu also designated this location for supplies, and reaching the next supply station would take another three days at least. Thus, Ji You and the team decided to resupply here.

The spaceship docked smoothly at the port, and Ji You and others disembarked. Immediately, a docking robot approached them, smiling: ”Dear guests, welcome to Kite Space Station, wishing you and your friends a pleasant journey.”

Ji You smiled: ”Thank you.”

The robot, after glancing at Ji You and the group, smiled again: ”Guests, today our ’Haolai’ restaurant has great thirst-quenching drinks available, milk tea, sour soup, soy milk...”

Hearing this, the others seemed a bit tempted, but Ji You remained unmoved, coldly saying: ”Thank you, we don’t need it.”

She knew, just by noticing this robot’s eloquent speech and gestures, that it possessed a high intelligence level, and this overly attentive demeanor, needless to say, Ji You knew it was a salesman!

Sure enough—

Unaffected by Ji You’s coldness, the robot continued smiling, stating: ”New in the beverage shop, 66% off across the board, and today’s milk tea is free.”

Everyone ”!!!”

Yue Qiguang was the first to jump in and ask: ”Free? Really?”

The robot nodded: ”Yes, just come into the store, and you can enjoy the sweet milk tea.”

Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but swallow, but he didn’t rush off immediately, instead glancing at Ji You: ”4444, should we go?”

Ji You: ”No!”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Others: ”...”

Everyone was surprised by such a resolute refusal from Ji You! Honestly, they were a bit disappointed.

Since the start of the final exam, the group had been consuming low-level nutrition, which was not only unpalatable but also left them hungry...

Now, there was a chance to indulge in a good meal, and everyone was looking forward to it, miserably swallowing their saliva, giving Ji You pitiful looks.

The robot beside them smiled, ”Guests, my honesty extends to both young and old, it’s really free.”

Ji You, with a cold heart, declared: ”No good goods are cheap, not to mention free!”

Such various strategies were all too familiar to her, and no one was going to swindle a penny from her pockets!
