The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Coupons

Devil!

This is the devil!

Ji You thought, grimacing and gritting her teeth.

”Hand it over.” Mu Jianling raised her hand, tapped the table, and said.

”Okay. Coming right up.” Ji You forced out a tiny smile and quickly placed the grilled skewers on a tray, aligning them neatly one by one. Then, she also prepared a glass of lemon tea.

The lemons, as it happened, were personally provided by Ji You at her own expense.

Ji You carried the tray over to Teacher Mu’s side, put it down, and smiled, ”Teacher, enjoy your meal.”

Mu Jianling glanced at her and said, ”Not bad.”

Instead of eating the skewers, she picked up the lemon tea, took a small sip, and said with a smile, ”The taste is pretty good.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You asked, ”Don’t you find it sour?” This cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice had no sugar at all, and not much water added either, so it was pure lemon flavor.

Mu Jianling gave her a wry smile, ”It is a bit sour indeed.”

After saying that, she suddenly took out a small packet of sugar, tore it open, and poured it all in.

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling stirred it lightly with a spoon, took another sip, and said with a smile, ”Now it’s sweet and sour, just right.”

Ji You patted her forehead, cursing inwardly, ”Why am I so dumb? I didn’t gain anything, ended up with labor costs, not to mention a glass of lemon juice.”

A losing business!

Ahem...

Even though it’s not a business.

Mu Jianling turned off the Light Computer, sat up straight, and began eating the skewers. She ate slowly, chewing carefully, giving these street-side barbecue skewers the elegance of a French gourmet meal.

Ji You swallowed her saliva.

Gulu~

Gulu~

Gulu~

...

Beside her, there were four synchronized sounds of stomach growling.

Xuzhou, Lou, Lance, and Zhang Ye were trying hard to stay calm, but the pervasive aroma of grilled meat and the crisp chewing sounds made it impossible to remain composed.

In response.

Mu Jianling seemed to pay no mind. She ate while leisurely sipping her lemon tea.

Ji You started rummaging through her Space Button.

Apart from a few lemons, she had no other fruits. As for meat? Ji You did have plenty of beef jerky, but here and now, she didn’t dare take it out, fearing Teacher Mu might find a reason to confiscate it.

Lou, Lance, Zhang Ye, and Xuzhou also rummaged through their Space Buttons, finding no food comparable to grilled meat, so they gave up and focused intently on the flight route.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Halfway through her skewers, Mu Jianling suddenly paused. She wiped her hands gently with a soft napkin and softly said, ”These skewers are cold now, reheat them for me.”

Ji You: ”...”

Indeed, a little cool down and the aroma of the meat has faded.

Just when Ji You, Xuzhou, and the others felt less tormented, Teacher Mu demanded the grilled meat be reheated.

This!

This is literally the devil!

Ji You mumbled, ”No time.”

Mu Jianling: ”Hmm?”

Ji You immediately stood up, ”Coming right up!”

Mu Jianling: ”Good girl.”

With a compliment, Mu Jianling suddenly turned to Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, and Lance, her eyes darkening, scolding, ”What’s with the sneaky looks? It’s not your stuff, no matter how tempting it is, it won’t fall into your mouths, so get back to focus and steer the spaceship properly.”

Zhang Ye, Lou, Lance, Xuzhou: ”...”

Distracted but avoiding Teacher Mu’s notice, the four of them blushed slightly with embarrassment.

Then.

The four of them quickly focused and tried hard to block all the meat aroma in the cabin.

Ji You grilled the meat, the aroma filled the air, Mu Jianling ate leisurely and said, ”You fools, let me teach you another lesson. In such wild space, you need a strong soul to resist the temptation of food.”

Ji You and the others: ”...”

The spaceship steadily moved forward.

In the cockpit control room, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and Yue Qiguang, unaware of the situation, kept watch on the turret, and even Sheng Qingyan didn’t know.

In any case, until the spaceship was about to enter the Kite Space Station, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and the others had no idea what Ji You, Xuzhou, and the others just went through.

Outside the artificial atmosphere.

After submitting a docking request to the Kite Space Station, the space station approved Ji You’s group’s docking request.

Ji You raised her hand, ”Prepare—”

Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, as the main pilots, got ready immediately.

Ji You said, ”Go.”

Whoosh—

The spaceship zoomed into the artificial atmosphere of the Kite Space Station following a specific trajectory.

Dock.

Once Ji You and her team disembarked the spaceship, a service bot immediately approached. Ji You noticed the robot’s serial number, recognizing it as the same one that tricked them into dining at the ’Haolai’ restaurant last time, her expression immediately soured, ”Thanks, but we don’t need any services.”

The robot smiled, ”Esteemed guests, you misunderstood, I’m just here to provide docking service, I’m not recommending any purchases.”

Ji You cast a sidelong glance, clearly unconvinced, ”Yeah, right.”

The robot smiled, ”Your spaceship has been docked, here is your card, please keep it safe. You need to return it when you leave the space station.”

Ji You: ”What if I don’t return it?”

The robot smiled, ”If you don’t return it, you won’t enjoy the charging discount rights.”

Ji You: ”...”

This card was a discount coupon the space station gave them during their last visit, promising a 30% discount on refueling for their next trip.

Then.

The robot smiled, ”Guests, do you need any other help?”

Ji You immediately shook her head, ”No thanks, we’re good.”

She hurried away.

However, as soon as she turned around, she found her teammates all staring at the ’Haolai’ restaurant not far away.

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”I got a 30% discount coupon from my last visit, haven’t used it yet.”

Yue Qiyuan said, ”I got a steamed hairy crab voucher last time, haven’t used it yet.”

Yue Qiguang said, ”Dad got a 5000 credit points discount coupon last time, applicable to the whole venue.”

Lou said, ”I have a beer voucher.”

Lance laughed at that, ”Funny thing, I have a beer voucher too.”

”Mine is a sunflower seed voucher.” Zhang Ye asked Xuzhou beside him, ”What about yours?”

Xuzhou clenched the voucher in his palm, muttering, ”Mine is a beef jerky voucher, buy 10 pounds, get 1 free, no cap.”

Shen Changqing paused for a moment, then mumbled, ”I have a 5000 credit points dessert voucher, no threshold, as long as I enter the store, I can use it.” He could order a 5000 credit points dessert and use the voucher to offset it, essentially eating for free.

Shen Changqing barely managed to hold his fist, determined to resist this time.

To withstand the temptation of food.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes and said, ”Stop dawdling, let’s hurry in and eat... then we’ll find a barbershop to get a trim...” His head had a bald spot, needing a barber’s skillful touch.

Ji You bit her lip, carefully clutching her palm, silently counting: she had a 1-pound free hairy crab voucher worth 500 credit points, a 5% off for every 50,000 credit points spent in-store, a buy 10, get 1 beef jerky voucher, a 1000 credit points drink voucher, a 500 credit points candy voucher, and even a free haircut voucher...

Ji You couldn’t finish counting.
