The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Warrior

Sheng Qingyan poked his head out, sneakily glancing at the movement of Old Lady Mu beside him. He found that her attention was fixed on the navigation chart and she wasn’t noticing the commotion nearby. Only then did he make a mischievous face at Ji You and wink: ”What’s the price, hmm?”

Ji You leaned in slightly and whispered, ”50001 credit points.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan pinched his nose, saying disdainfully: ”Expensive, hmm...”

Ji You covered her lips and lowered her voice: ”Not expensive~” After saying that, when she saw Sheng Qingyan’s disdainful expression, she quickly said: ”Cutting off the change, how about 50000 just for you?”

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes, saying: ”Get lost~”

Ji You didn’t leave but instead chuckled: ”You see, if you’re one person handling both reconnaissance and sniping, you simply can’t manage it all, right? Dealing with one Star Beast might be manageable, but what if suddenly two, three, or four appear... What would you do?”

Sheng Qingyan raised his chin confidently: ”So what if ten come at once? A mere ten Star Beasts can do nothing to me, huh?”

Ji You glanced at him, deciding to patiently conduct an in-depth analysis of the current situation with him: ”You can hit ten, but what if there are a hundred?”

Sheng Qingyan’s heart skipped a beat: ”Shut up, hmm.”

”Hm-hmph~” Ji You snorted with her nose, saying: ”What if you’re even unluckier, and thousands of Star Beasts come bounding from all directions, what would you do?”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan took a deep breath, restraining his trembling hands, and cursed: ”Crows mouth, get lost~”

Ji You chuckled: ”How about this, I’ll take 50000 credit points to help you scout the surrounding 100 nautical miles of the spaceship, you only have to focus on shooting, how about that?”

Eh?

Doesn’t seem bad.

With a bit of change in his heart, Sheng Qingyan immediately said: ”500~”

Ji You cursed: ”Get lost~”

She said it and turned to leave.

Sheng Qingyan pretended not to care, lightly snorting: ”Whatever.”

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Sure enough.

Ji You turned back, saying: ”Alright, 500!”

A glimmer of triumph flashed through Sheng Qingyan’s eyes: [See, this is the poor dead’s trick, as long as you can be more patient than her, you’ll surely achieve the final victory.]

The next second.

Ji You extended her hand, saying: ”Pay up first~”

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes at her: ”Do you really think I’m short of this little money~”

At that, while about to transfer the funds to Ji You, she suddenly said: ”500 points.”

Sheng Qingyan’s fingers came to a halt.

Ji You said: ”Hurry up~”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Get lost~”

Suddenly—

Mu Jianling said coolly: ”Enough already, hmm?”

Ji You, Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Both of them were taken aback for a moment and quickly shook their heads, vehemently denying.

Mu Jianling turned to Ji You: ”Got time to waste?”

Ji You: ”No no no...”

She quickly hopped away, but before leaving, didn’t forget to say to Sheng Qingyan: ”Spicy Eye, a piece of friendly advice for you: about 78 nautical miles ahead, coordinates 15 degrees east, a Carrion Vulture is coming your way, good luck~”

Enduring the terrifying pressure released by Teacher Mu Jianling, Ji You cradled her head and rushed off.

Sheng Qingyan, hearing this, shuddered all over, immediately holding his breath and focusing intently. He discovered that there was indeed a Carrion Vulture rushing towards them!

He actually hadn’t noticed?

How could it be?

No time to think more, Sheng Qingyan’s expression sharpened, quickly locking onto the Carrion Vulture.

Boom—

A shot rang out, directly hitting the target. Sheng Qingyan raised his chin proudly, calling in Ji You’s direction: ”Poor dea...”

Ji You suddenly crept closer again, sneakily saying: ”Forgot to tell you, there’s another Carrion Vulture at 55 degrees north!”

The boast that Sheng Qingyan was about to blurt out got stuck in his throat. He quickly got into position, adjusted his angle, and hurriedly locked onto the target. But just as the target was about to escape from the lock-on position, he fired desperately!

Boom—

Missed.

Sheng Qingyan immediately pounded his chest and stomped his feet, filled with regret.

At this moment, Mu Jianling said: ”Minus 5 points.”

Sheng Qingyan cried in frustration: ”Wah~”

Mu Jianling ignored him, maneuvering two turrets to simultaneously target the one north and one east Carrion Vulture.

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

The Particle Cannons reached in a flash, boom—

After two loud explosions, everyone saw two brilliant fireworks suddenly burst into the starry sky! Crackle, crackle...

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Ji You and others: ”...”

Mu Jianling casually retracted the gun barrel, saying: ”Retrieve the corpses.”

Ji You, Sheng Qingyan, and others shook off their astonishment and quickly began salvaging the two unlucky Grade 4 Carrion Vultures.

Quickly.

The corpses of two Carrion Vultures were pulled up, their heads horribly disfigured, only their massive beaks intact, and their bodies in dire condition, their skin and flesh blown to bits, fortunately, both claws remained intact, and even though the wings’ valuable feathers were a bit singed, they could still be used after some cleaning.

Looking at the miserable sight of the Carrion Vultures, Ji You sighed while peeling off the material: ”Executioners!”

Mu Jianling: ”Hmm?”

Ji You shook her head frantically, explaining: ”I was cursing the Carrion Vultures! See how many small creatures and plants are stuffed in their bellies? They are simply nature’s executioners.”

Mu Jianling: ”Hmm.”

After that.

Mu Jianling plainly said: ”Collect all the materials for me, I’m going to sell them.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You widened her eyes: ”You want to sell them???”

Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Lou... all stopped their enthusiastic dismantling of the Carrion Vulture’s materials, collectively raising their heads to stare at Teacher Mu Jianling: ”!!!”

Mu Jianling lightly snorted: ”I shot them, what’s wrong with me selling the materials?”

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... all halted, while Ji You nudged Yue Qiguang beside her: ”It’s your turn to speak up.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang cursed: ”Is dad that dumb? Dad wouldn’t speak up knowing he’d get scolded!”

Ji You: ”Ahem ahem...”

This fool, he actually has moments where he’s not foolish.

Seeing Yue Qiguang wasn’t taking the bait, Ji You quickly turned to others, only to find everyone shrinking their heads, looking like quail who dared not speak out. After some thought, she realized she couldn’t do anything about this Overlord either, so she gave up.

Thus, she too tucked in her head, making herself a pitiful, small, helpless little quail.

Mu Jianling lightly snorted: ”Observe when I make a move, don’t fixate on such petty gains. When you’re strong enough to defeat Grade 4 Star Beasts as easily as squashing a mosquito or an ant, will you still care about Grade 4 Star Beast materials then?”

As soon as he finished speaking—

Yue Qiguang couldn’t help muttering softly: ”But you, being so strong, still have your eyes on such petty gains, don’t you?”

Ji You and others: ”...”

Such a brave soul.

Truly deserving of everyone’s admiration and awe.
