The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Heroic Spirit Soaring to the Heavens

One Black Thorn Bee is already a headache, and now there are a hundred... You should know that the Black Thorn Bees never act alone; they’re a group-action Star Beast. Where there’s one, thousands or even millions follow...

Forget about just one secret fried chicken recipe; even a hundred recipes wouldn’t move Ji You’s heart of stone.

Ji You threw down the chicken leg and turned around: ”Let’s go, let’s go...”

Then decisively headed towards the door.

Liu Fufeng and the hotpot restaurant owner exchanged a look. They were both at a loss with Ji You’s straightforward refusal. The hotpot restaurant owner opened his mouth, ”Student Ji You, please wait.”

Instinctively, Ji You told herself to hurry away. Otherwise, if she stayed to listen, her legs might fail to move later. So, upon hearing him, she not only didn’t stay but instead walked even faster. Just as she was about to step out the door, Liu Fufeng pursed his lips, seeming to have made a decision, and suddenly said, ”One Mid-level Soul Device.”

Ji You: ”Huh???”

Liu Fufeng looked at her intently and said seriously, ”The reward is one Mid-level Soul Device.”

Ji You was trembling, her lips quivering slightly...

But after thinking it over, she still decisively turned back: ”Nope, nope, I value my life.” Although a Mid-level Soul Device is great, her own life is more important. Without life, how could she enjoy a Mid-level Soul Device?

But...

A Mid-level Soul Device!!!

This is...

This is something rare and unattainable, something you need luck to buy, a Mid-level Soul Device.

Just... just give up like this?

Unwilling!

In Ji You’s spiritual world, her Six Spiritual Threads, upon hearing the words Mid-level Soul Device, started howling wildly: ”We want it!!!”

Ji You cursed right away: ”Want it for what? Do you have the life to use it?”

Six Spiritual Threads: ”Aww—give it a try!!!”

The Fourth one, usually lazy on Old Five’s head, leapt out, darted in front of Ji You, wagging its tail wildly: ”Master, take a chance, turn the bicycle into a motorcycle!”

Ji You’s eyebrow twitched, but she remained unmoved.

Fourth: ”Gamble, turn the motorcycle into a Land Rover!”

Ji You: ”...”

Fourth: ”Make an effort, turn the white paper into gold!”

Ji You: ”...”

Fourth: ”Just try once...”

Ji You took a deep breath, unable to resist cursing: ”Where did you learn so many gambler’s sayings?”

Fourth grinned, wagging its tail diligently, trying hard to persuade its Master: ”If you want to get rich, place a big bet. Don’t fear losing; just worry about stopping. Small bets feed the family, big bets make a fortune! Which kid cries daily? Which gambler loses every day?”

At this point, Fourth suddenly straightened its neck, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: ”Master! Let’s bring out our spirit of striving and charge towards the Mid-level Soul Device!”

Beside them.

Boss, Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth, listening to Fourth’s impassioned speech, were also inspired and opened their mouths, howling: ”Charge—!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You struggled to suppress the urge to fry the Spiritual Threads, and shouted: ”Alright, let’s all go all in together!”

Fourth excitedly lifted its head, and Boss, Second, and the others were also filled with excitement—

Then—

Ji You said: ”See you all on the rooftop.”

Six Spiritual Threads: ”...”

Boss twisted its chubby body: ”Master, don’t tell me you’ll jump off the roof?”

Second: ”Our luck is surely good.”

Third: ”The Mid-level Soul Device, we can’t give up!”

Fourth: ”Master, give yourself a chance, give us a chance.”

Fifth: ”Master, believe in yourself, believe in us.”

Sixth: ”We’ll all work hard together!”

Ji You: ”Yeah, we’ll work hard together to get ourselves killed.”

Six Spiritual Threads: ”...”

This is hard to handle~

This Master isn’t easy to fool at all~

What to do?

At this time, the Six Spiritual Threads were sticking up their heads, staring eagerly at Ji You, their faces full of tangled expressions...

Ji You ignored them completely. She turned her head, her eyes fixing on Liu Fufeng and the hotpot restaurant owner. Under their expectant gaze, Ji You curled her lips into a slight smile and said, ”Boss, Student Liu Fufeng, I’ve made my decision on this Mid-level Soul Device—”

The atmosphere instantly tensed up.

Ji You said, ”I don’t want it.”

Perhaps already used to rejection, Liu Fufeng and the hotpot restaurant owner showed little change in expression upon hearing Ji You’s refusal. Liu Fufeng asked softly, ”Student Ji You, can you tell me why?”

Ji You initially didn’t want to say, but thinking about it, they were classmates after all, seeing each other often would be awkward, so she said: ”The reason is, I think the task you’re asking for is too dangerous and might even be fatal.”

Gotta say, the offer Liu Fufeng made was really tempting to Ji You. She was worried about where to buy a Mid-level Soul Device to improve her soul artifact manufacturing skills, and now here it was, delivered to her doorstep...

Gotta say, it was too coincidental.

But—

This Soul Device is too hot to handle; wanting it is one thing, but she had to consider whether she could hold onto it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fufeng fell silent.

Ji You furrowed her brow and said: ”Aside from the high danger level, there’s another reason: I can’t accept this task alone. I took on this mission with Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and a few other classmates. I have to ask them first.”

Ji You believed that with Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and their group’s cautiousness, they would surely refuse as well after hearing about this.

Liu Fufeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: ”Can you ask Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and the others for me? What if they’re willing?”

Ji You was adamant: ”Impossible.”

These guys are even more protective of their lives than I am. How could they willingly go into a lion’s den knowing there’s a tiger?

Liu Fufeng raised his gaze, looking at Ji You sincerely: ”Please, Student Ji You, can you contact them now? I’d like to ask in person.”

This wasn’t a problem. Ji You immediately started a group video chat. A few seconds later, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan, upon hearing the call, picked up the communication. At this time, Yue Qiguang and Chu Jiaojiao were separately renting a private spiritual training room set up by the school for training, Shen Changqing was assembling a mecha in the Mechanical Manufacturing System’s workshop, Yue Qiyuan was lying on the couch reading a book, and Sheng Qingyan was in bed, reluctantly pulling off the covers and revealing a bald head, his tone with a hint of obvious disdain: ”What’s up, poor dead?”

The others also paused their activities, looked at Ji You, and asked in unison: ”Student Ji You, what’s up?”

Ji You said: ”There’s something I need to discuss with you all.”

Then, in front of Liu Fufeng, Ji You conveyed his request to Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and the others, and asked: ”I already refused, what about you?”

After hearing it, all five of them responded in unison: ”Of course we refuse.”

Ji You felt relieved and was about to hang up the call when suddenly, Liu Fufeng said: ”12 Mid-level Soul Devices.”

Everyone: ”!!!”

12?

So that’s—

Two for each person?

Liu Fufeng added, ”12 Mid-level Soul Devices personally made by Master Deng Mingguang.”

Everyone: ”!!!”

Then, Liu Fufeng quietly asked: ”Can I join you all?”

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, the six of them, trembled excitedly, their mouths wide open, responding in unison: ”Of course we’ll go together!”
