The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Return Voyage

Ji You glared at Yue Qiguang: ”I don’t believe you can find a wife, so stop talking nonsense.”

Truly——

The intelligence of the entire Group 44 is being dragged down by him.

Sigh!

Ji You suddenly understood how Yue Qiyuan felt.

Yue Qiguang, this guy, always thinks with his feet and walks with his hands, it’s... really a bit worrisome.

However——

That’s not important.

Ji You raised his head, looking at Military Supply Officer Li who, despite trying hard to contain his worries, still exuded anxiousness from within. He was very tall, about two meters twenty or so, not only was he tall and burly, but also had a handsome and rugged appearance, thick eyebrows, dark sparkling eyes, and a square face...

In short, he was anything but ’fragile’.

And, without getting closer, Ji You could feel a strong aura emanating from Military Supply Officer Li!

Is this what Senior Jiang Tiantian referred to as a ’weak loser’?

Can a weak loser be this strong?

Ji You instantly felt embarrassed.

In silence.

Military Supply Officer Li said: ”Young students, what brings you here?” Technically, after lunch and a short rest, these students should have embarked on their journey back.

But, why aren’t the students taking the time to rest?

Ji You quickly stood up and said: ”Senior Li, we wanted to talk to you about something. You see, we’ve gathered some Star Beast materials, and we heard that they might be useful to the Military Supply Department. Can they be purchased here?”

Upon hearing this, Military Supply Officer Li immediately said: ”Of course. However, the price here at the Supply Department is slightly lower than the market price.”

Ji You waved his hand and said: ”That’s no problem, we’ve discussed it and decided collectively to direct our materials to the Military Supply Department.”

Military Supply Officer Li smiled and said: ”Good.”

He suddenly stood up, but got up too fast and stumbled——

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan... everyone instinctively looked towards his buttocks.

Military Supply Officer Li: ”...”

Military Supply Officer Li coughed lightly and said sternly: ”Keep your eyes to yourselves, I’m perfectly fine!”

Ji You and others: ”Cough cough...”

Military Supply Officer Li straightened up, cleared his throat, and said: ”You little rascals, I’m telling you, when you are on my turf, you follow my rules. Anyone who dares to stare around aimlessly——”

With that, he showed a sinister smile.

Ji You couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim: [This Military Supply Officer Li, not only is he talkative, but he’s also quite vain! Even though his butt is practically split into four, he still stubbornly won’t admit it.]

Cough cough...

Thin-skinned, it’s deadly.

After heartily threatening the little rascals, Military Supply Officer Li immediately stood up and led Ji You and the others to the material appraisal area.

The storage area for materials was very large, and fully automated. Each type of material has a dedicated storage room, equipped with suitable conditions such as temperature, humidity...

As soon as Ji You and others’ materials were released from the Space Button, robots came to appraise them, and then sorted them.

Once processed, without any manual operation, the value of each person’s materials in credit points was automatically calculated by the system and credited into Ji You and their individual accounts.

Ji You checked the newly credited credit points; NY50’s killed and collected Star Beast materials, since the levels were relatively low, the prices weren’t high, just 7854 credit points.

The Star Beast corpses retrieved during the journey were all at least level 4, hence more valuable. However, since this was the result of everyone’s collective effort, it was naturally divided equally among all.

After the distribution, each person received 50,000 credit points.

With this round, Ji You’s total income came to 57,854 credit points.

This amount of money, if it were on Garbage Planet number 101, who knows how long it would take to save.

Ji You was deeply emotional, thinking back to half a year ago, when living on Garbage Planet 101, scavenging through trash for a living, she could never have imagined earning this much!

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of credit points flowed into her account like water. This was something she wouldn’t have dared to dream of in the past.

So, hard work certainly pays off, sometimes with unforeseen rewards.

Cough cough...

Of course, let’s just temporarily ignore the matter of getting billions into debt.

...

After selling the materials, Ji You and her group had cleaned out the Space Button, now only weapons and food were stored inside.

Yue Qiguang patted the Space Button on his wrist and said, ”Now that we have some extra space, dad can store more materials.”

Ji You pouted and said, ”I told you to store them earlier, but weren’t you the one who refused, saying they were junk?”

Yue Qiguang: ”Cough cough...”

It proves: No one can escape the ’real fragrance’ principle!

Yue Qiguang stubbornly said, ”I’m just making some pocket money on the side.”

...

Despite a little remaining time, Ji You and her nine teammates attended the memorial service organized by the Military Supply Department for the fallen warriors.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Only at this time did Ji You and the group learn the name and age of the senior they had brought back...

Yin Shen.

years old.

Only two years into his service, an outstanding member of the Sixth Legion Vanguard Camp Seventh Team, graduated from the Mechanical Combat Department of Alliance First Military Academy...

Just a few sentences summed up a life.

Ji You turned away, unable to watch any longer.

Time ticked away...

After paying respects to the warrior’s soul, it was time for the spaceship to take off; Ji You and her group didn’t delay and immediately rushed to the spaceship’s docking bay.

At the docking bay, Military Supply Officer Li was unexpectedly waiting for them. Seeing the students arrive, Military Supply Officer Li said, ”Your Teacher Mu is really troublesome. I’ve already said that you kids should be allowed to fly on your own, but it seems she would rather keep you all tucked away in her pocket.”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You couldn’t help but say, ”Senior, you must be mistaken. The Teacher Mu you described is definitely not our Teacher Mu.”

”I can’t be mistaken. It’s Mu Jianling himself!” Military Supply Officer Li rambled on, ”Here—this is for you guys. It includes some precautions. Be careful on your way back, I’ve given all the necessary warnings. Please don’t let your Teacher Mu call my contact number again, hearing her voice gives me the creeps.”

Everyone: ”...”

As the team captain, Ji You took the small note from Military Supply Officer Li’s hand, then suddenly flashed a bright smile at him: ”Senior Li, about the other things our teacher asked you for, you haven’t given them to us yet, have you?”

Military Supply Officer Li: ”???”

Ji You, unembarrassed, explained: ”Food. Food for the trip back. For the ten of us, we need about 30 kg of rice and 50 kg of meat per day. The return trip will take three days, which means 100 kg of rice and 150 kg of meat. I’ve heard that a balanced diet of meat and vegetables is the most nutritious. If you could give us some extra fruit and vegetables, that would be even better.”

Military Supply Officer Li: ”...”

How bold to ask for so much.

Ji You raised her hand, scratching her head, with a naive smile, said, ”Cough cough... We are all growing, so, well, we eat a lot.”
