The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Fourth Master!

”Chatter.”

Mu Jianling dropped the conversation and simply closed his eyes, having no interest in communicating with Ji You. Ji You wanted to discuss the issue of splitting the car fare with Teacher Mu, but was worried about getting beaten, so she simply shut her mouth.

Silent all the way, ten minutes later, the Floating Car stopped at the entrance of the school medical room.

Mu Jianling and Ji You got off the car and pushed the door open to enter.

Due to a small accident during the assessment, the assessment time was extended. As a result, when Mu Jianling returned to school with the students, the students from other departments had already finished their assessments, and most of them had left the campus. Only a few remained, making the medical room quieter.

The two entered the medical room, where Dr. Luo was researching a new surgical plan with her assistant robot. Dr. Luo was focused, and the voices of Ji You and Mu Jianling did not disturb her. She just twitched her ear slightly and continued.

The entire space was very quiet.

”Surgical Knife No. 12.”

”No. 3.”

”No. 7.”

...

Dr. Luo’s instructions to the robot assistant were always calm and steady, without a hint of fluctuation. When the indicator lights flashed a few times and turned green, everything stopped. Dr. Luo turned to Mu Jianling and Ji You: ”You’re here.”

Mu Jianling nodded, pointed at Ji You, and said, ”This fool is in your hands, see if there’s any problem.” Dropping the words, Mu Jianling picked a sofa and sat down directly, right in front of Ji You and Dr. Luo, and opened the Light Computer to watch a TV series. Upon hearing the opening music, it turns out it’s not ’Ugly Girl’s Spring’?

Changed to a different show?

Ji You was a bit curious. She didn’t originally plan to watch, but with a slight glance from the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw the face of Alliance Flower Ye Lu. Ji You: ”Eh? Is it another show starring Ye Lu?”

Mu Jianling lightly hummed without answering.

Ji You curiously moved closer: ”What show is it?”

Mu Jianling covered the light screen with his hand, then the next second, he pushed Ji You’s big head away and cursed: ”Go get checked, don’t bother me.”

Ji You grunted: ”Why cover it up, I already saw it, it’s called ’I’m the Queen’!”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Mu Jianling: ”Itchy mouth?”

Ji You quickly shook her head and ran to the examination room: ”No, no, no...”

At the same time, Ji You couldn’t help but mutter inside: This actress called Ye Lu has quite a range in her roles, from a mistress in family ethics dramas to a sweet naive flower, and now she actually started taking on strong female lead roles.

Just at Ji You’s unintended glance, she saw the main female character played by Ye Lu supporting a weak little male lead and saying, ”He—I’m covering him.”

So bold!

So arrogant!

So confident!

...

No wonder she’s the Queen.

But... after hearing these lines, Ji You finally understood a bit why Teacher Mu has recently been saying things like ’I’m the strongest, no exception.’ It turns out it’s influenced by those melodramatic TV dramas.

Ahem...

Suddenly—

”Don’t secretly criticize your teacher in your heart, being discovered can be quite terrifying.” Gentle, kind, lenient... the voice oddly made one’s scalp tingle, Ji You jumped in shock and quickly lifted her face, forcing a smile, ”Dr. Luo, I wasn’t thinking or saying anything.”

Dr. Luo smiled: ”Don’t be afraid, I won’t tell Teacher Mu.”

Ji You: ”...”

I trust ghost in you.

Dr. Luo pointed to the nearby diagnostic device and said, ”Lie down.”

Ji You took a look; it was the same instrument she had used to check Spiritual Silk before, and was said to be quite precious, brought over by Principal Hong from the Alliance Research Institute at great personal expense.

Ji You obediently lay down inside.

Dr. Luo said: ”Relax, no need to worry about anything, I’ll be right here to guide you.”

Ji You: ”Mm.”

After lying down, the machine started scanning every inch of Ji You’s body, and she didn’t feel any discomfort, her whole body relaxing completely, relaxing...

Then.

Everything went black, and before her eyes appeared a pitch-black space.

Is this—

The simulation of the Spiritual World?

Silence.

Complete silence.

Ji You usually communicates with the Spiritual Silk through spiritual consciousness to view the Spiritual World; she herself cannot enter inside, only able to see through the eyes of her spiritual consciousness and feel, so Ji You knows that inside is an empty and void space, with nothing but Six Strands.

And, this detection equipment seems slightly different from last time. After connecting to spiritual power, it actually allows spiritual consciousness to enter her own Spiritual World and walk inside.

Ji You was slightly surprised: ”Dr. Luo?”

Soon, Dr. Luo’s gentle voice was heard: ”I’m here.”

Ji You asked: ”Dr. Luo, is the examination equipment different from last time? My spiritual consciousness seems to be able to enter the Spiritual World?”

Dr. Luo smiled: ”Mm, the machine hasn’t changed, last time your spiritual power was too weak to endure such a test, so I didn’t arrange it. Now, your spiritual power has improved, and the spiritual power threshold is sufficient to withstand the pressure of this examination, so I readjusted the examination plan. Doing this examination allows you to directly see your Spiritual World, and more directly and quickly find the problems within.”

In the real world of the strong, the measure of a person’s strength isn’t simply their level. The degree of Spiritual Silk Cleaning matters too. Generally, one’s Spiritual World is made up of a chaotic bunch of silk threads resembling a tangled yarn ball. The higher the spiritual power level, the more threads and the messier it gets... In order to use spiritual power, this tangled mess must be sorted out. The more sorted, the stronger.

Therefore, through this equipment, using spiritual consciousness to enter the Spiritual World allows the person to more easily, quickly, and effectively discover problems, like finding out which threads are entwined and can’t be undone, and then resolving these problems bit by bit.

Ji You understood and said: ”Teacher, I understand.”

Dr. Luo said: ”Don’t forcefully touch your own Spiritual World, relax, relax, and relax completely.”

With Dr. Luo’s voice, Ji You’s originally tense mind gradually relaxed, then, as a Conscious Body, she observed the surroundings for a while, then began to walk forward, viewing as she walked. Within her field of vision, there was still darkness, seemingly seeing nothing, nothing at all.

Eh?

The fool threads, where are they?

Each and every one, all gone.

Ji You felt a bit strange, she lifted her foot and continued forward. Then, thud! Something seemed to bump up under her foot, very uncomfortable...

Ji You looked down, taking a look.

Nothing there.

Suddenly—

Fourth: [Who’s there! Who dares to step on your Fourth Master?]
