The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Five!

The validity period and compatibility are crucial indicators of a soul artifact maker’s level, and what about Ji You?

The Companion Stone Earrings Ji You crafted last time were tested and found to have a validity period of about 3 years and 5 months, and her soul artifact’s compatibility was confirmed to be exceptionally high by all the lucky buyers!

Therefore, although all the soul artifacts sold by Qingyou Shop so far were only low-level soul artifacts, the majority of netizens on the Star Network now genuinely admire the title ”Green Glaze Master”.

...

Of course, due to the scarcity of soul artifact makers and the difficult training conditions, many soul artifact makers who don’t reach the ”Master” level are also addressed politely as ”Master”, like Lin Feng, a disciple of Master Kong Zhe. He has been learning for many years and can currently only make low-level soul artifacts, producing 1-3 pieces a year. Yet, out of respect for soul artifact makers, people still call him Master Lin Feng.

...

Ji You squinted and inspected the three soul artifacts she crafted for a while, nodding in satisfaction. The longest usage duration reached 5 years, and the shortest reached 3 years. These three soul artifacts are not one-time consumables and are very successful. Roughly estimating, the worst one could sell for over 3 million, and the best at least starts at 5 million credit points...

So, how many Candy Beans can this trade for?

A Candy Bean made from High-level Butterfly Honey costs 500,000 on the market, but Teacher Mu offers it for a friendly price of 50,000 credit points... Cough, cough... Ji You knows that she’s always getting a subsidized price from Teacher Mu, and it’s Teacher Mu and the school that are at a loss. Moreover, not only Ji You but also students from the Combat Department and other departments in the school are buying Candy Beans at a subsidized price from the school, enjoying the subsidies from the Alliance and the school for students.

These, we will not elaborate on.

Ji You straightened her face and started calculating seriously:

If a soul artifact sells for 5 million each, that means 100 Candy Beans can be purchased.

With 3 soul artifacts, conservatively estimated, Ji You can earn around 10 to 13 million credit points.

And—

The cost? Just one Candy Bean made the Fourth earn so much for her!

It’s simply a business with no capital!

Ji You blinked, her hands shaking. If it weren’t for her low Spiritual Level and small Spiritual Threshold, making bulk production impossible, Ji You would want to do nothing but make soul artifacts from day to night, lying on a pile of money, smelling the stench of money for eternity...

Cough, cough...

Ji You put away the soul artifacts, packed them in a box, and then climbed into bed to sleep.

The next day.

At the crack of dawn, Ji You, returning from a jog, continued crafting soul artifacts.

This time, the Fourth was not in action. The Fourth, who boasted about making a soul artifact effortlessly, looked extremely pitiful in its shrunken state, as if it hadn’t had a full meal in decades, its belly so shriveled it was almost a mere sheet. Ji You felt very sorry for it and immediately fed it a Candy Bean.

The Fourth opened its mouth to grab it, and just then, the Boss swooped in, snatching away the food right from the Fourth’s mouth, leaving the Fourth startled and then very angry when it realized.

Rumble~

In an instant, the Fourth’s body began to swell!

Swell!

Continue to swell!

...

Ji You gaped: ”Oh crap!!!”

Under Ji You’s wide-eyed gaze, in less than a second, the previously shrunken-to-paper-like Fourth swelled to a size even bigger than the Boss’s body. It wagged its tail, roaring: [Duel! Come and duel!]

The Boss, carrying the Candy Bean, suddenly turned to Ji You: [Master, did you see that? The Fourth is tricking you, it just wants to cheat more Candy Beans to eat...]

Ji You: ”...”

The Fourth: [...]

Oh no!

Exposed!

The Boss, as expected, is very bad.

Shrink.

Shrink more.

...

In the blink of an eye, the Fourth returned to a ring-sized circle, still dry and flat with a pitiful appearance.

Ji You, slightly dazed, had a million Divine Beasts roaring inside, yet maintained a calm demeanor. She took back the Candy Bean handed by the Boss and casually tossed it back to the Fourth.

The Fourth: [!!!]

The Fourth was shocked, and so was the Boss. The Boss: [My silly little Master, Sisi is a big liar, don’t be fooled by it.]

Silly little?

Ji You’s eyelid twitched, then she took out another Candy Bean, tossing it to the Boss, then again to the Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth, and finally laughed: ”This is breakfast, Sisi, everyone gets a share. A beautiful day has begun, so please continue to work hard.”

After hearing this explanation, the Boss and the other Sisis finally relaxed and cheered up together!

Candy Beans early in the morning?

It’s like throwing credit points from the sky, utterly unbelievable.

...

The task time agreed with Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others is one o’clock in the afternoon, so Ji You has more than half a day to continue making soul artifacts.

This time, Old Five took the field.

Old Five works very meticulously and with great enthusiasm. It was full of energy, almost not needing Ji You to instruct or remind; it knew how to cooperate with Ji You. However, Old Five’s craftsmanship isn’t as good as the Fourth. This morning, Ji You successfully created 2, but 3 of the materials were wasted. Among the 3 materials wasted, there were 2 that were close to succeeding but ended up wasted suddenly.

Old Five felt a bit down.

Ji You comforted, ”Old Five is already amazing. You’ll become even more amazing in the future. Keep it up, Little Cutie Old Five!”

At Ji You’s words, Old Five immediately perked up, starting to run around excitedly, saying as it ran: [Master, I’ll keep pushing forward next time.]

Ji You: ”Good.”

Then, Old Five hopped away.

Ji You took the soul artifact made by Old Five into her hand and compared it with the one made by the Fourth, finding that Old Five’s soul artifact was usable for about half a year to a year, greatly differing from the Fourth’s quantum!

But Ji You was already quite gratified.

Ji You put them away, gathered this batch of hand-carved soul artifact brooches with bamboo motifs, packed them all up.

These, she had to find a chance to deliver them to Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and others without sparking any suspicion, naturally.

Ji You stroked her chin, seriously thinking to herself: [Ah! Keeping up this flimsy friendship with everyone isn’t easy at all.]

After packing up several soul artifacts, Ji You opened the interface to the Light Speed Express on the dorm’s portal, directly depositing the five soul artifacts into her Star Network backstage. Once someone buys them, the Light Speed Express can deliver the soul devices very fast to the customer.
