The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Laboratory No. 10

Teacher Mu Jianling is impeccable as a person, but if only she weren’t such a con artist.

Ahem...

As for Teacher Mu Jianling, Ji You has really mixed feelings of love, hate, and respect...

Listening to Liu Beibei, Ji You smiled and encouraged, ”Don’t be disheartened, keep it up! Victory is waiting for you ahead. You can definitely do it.”

Liu Beibei blushed, lowered her head, ”Thank you, I will work hard.”

Chu Jiaojiao also clenched her fist and encouraged, ”Keep it up! Victory is yours.”

Yue Qiguang, a bit annoying, said, ”Even though you’re quite dumb, dumb people have their own ways too. Keep practicing, and you’ll eventually get there.”

Yue Qiyuan: ”Keep it up!”

Shen Changqing: ”Work hard!”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Go for it~”

The top students of the Combat Department, Liu Beibei hardly interacted with them. She originally thought they were fierce, but unexpectedly, they were all as approachable and kind as Ji You.

Liu Beibei blushed and whispered, ”Thank you, I will work hard.”

Then.

Liu Beibei returned to her mecha and continued her training.

Bang!

Clang——

Bang!

...

The sounds of the mecha falling, wave after wave, never stopping.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan each found their own mecha and started training. Everyone trained independently without interference.

The training movements repeated over and over... dull, uninteresting, tedious... yet no one quit halfway, nor did anyone complain of hardship or exhaustion. Everyone stuck to training for the entire day.

Since it was the holidays, all the classrooms used for training were closed. The training room Ji You and her friends were using was specially opened by the school for students who needed extra practice during holidays and after school hours.

Of course, it wasn’t free; it required credit points or points for deduction. 100 credit points or 1 point per hour. If this had been before Ji You entered school, she definitely couldn’t afford it.

When Ji You first entered school, Xie Lingzhi specifically reminded her to earn more points as points could be used for all consumption items on campus. After a whole day’s training, excluding meal times, Ji You and her friends trained in the training room for a total of 10 hours, only leaving when it was completely dark outside.

Liu Beibei’s condition was worse than Ji You’s, but she also stuck with Ji You and her friends until the night. Liu Beibei’s level of effort left Ji You and the others genuinely impressed...

Sheng Qingyan had already found a self-service floating car. Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang... the others didn’t even need to say a word, each jumping onto the car. As Ji You passed Liu Beibei, who was lying exhausted on the ground and was about to jump into the car, she suddenly saw Liu Beibei dialing Teacher Mu Jianling’s contact number. Ji You paused and asked, ”Are you calling Teacher Mu?”

Liu Beibei blushed and nodded, ”Yes, I’m... I’m reporting today’s training progress and situation to her.”

Ji You asked, ”Do you report every day?”

Liu Beibei whispered, ”Yes, Teacher Mu asked me to call her every day.”

Sheng Qingyan impatiently asked, ”Hey poor dead, are you coming or not? If not, we’re leaving.”

Ji You thought for a moment and said, ”You guys go ahead; I’ll return later on my own.”

For why Ji You, this poor dead, suddenly decided to stay, Sheng Qingyan wasn’t curious at all and just let the self-service floating car go.

At that moment, the call connected, and on the holographic screen, Teacher Mu Jianling’s face appeared, cold enough that air conditioning wasn’t necessary: ”Send over the data.”

Liu Beibei quietly said, ”Teacher... I’ve already sent it to you.”

Mu Jianling: ”Okay.”

Then, Mu Jianling lowered her head, carefully reviewing Liu Beibei’s training results for the day, entirely focused, not even noticing Ji You standing nearby. Ji You wisely didn’t disturb her.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Mu Jianling quickly finished reviewing all the data in less than 30 seconds. It was only then that she looked up at Liu Beibei on the other side of the screen. When she noticed the elongated neck and the exposed forehead, Mu Jianling was clearly taken aback. She quickly composed herself and calmly said, ”Very good, today’s progress is apparent, but your strength application is still poor. Remember to focus on balance; it is crucial...”

Mu Jianling spoke earnestly, and Liu Beibei listened attentively.

After their exchange, Liu Beibei sneakily glanced at Teacher Mu’s expression and then at Ji You standing beside her. As she hesitated about whether to end the call, Ji You had already cheerfully bid goodbye to Teacher Mu Jianling with a laugh.

Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow and asked, ”What’s the matter?”

Ji You straightened up and said seriously, ”Teacher, I’d like to talk to you about something. Are you available now? Is it okay if I come see you?”

Mu Jianling glanced at Ji You and replied indifferently, ”Laboratory No. 10.”

Ji You: ”Huh?”

Laboratory No. 10, isn’t it the lab specialized in mechanical manufacturing? What’s Teacher Mu Jianling doing there?

Ji You found it a bit strange but hurriedly said, ”I’ll come right away.”

After hanging up the call, Ji You looked at Liu Beibei beside her and said, ”Thank you, Liu Beibei. I have to rush to Laboratory No. 10 now, so I won’t be heading back to the dormitory with you.”

Liu Beibei: ”Okay.”

Just as Ji You was about to leave, Liu Beibei suddenly said, ”Thank you, Ji You! The soul artifact I won last time has helped me tremendously, and now I have the hope of piloting a mecha.”

Ji You was stunned, ”Huh? What soul artifact?”

Liu Beibei explained, ”Last time, you mentioned the Qingyou Master’s shop was having a lottery event. I... I was lucky enough to win a soul artifact during the draw. This soul artifact has had an effect on my spiritual power, and I’ve successfully broken through to Level 1... really, thank you so much, Ji You.”

Ji You, hearing this, remembered something about such an event and waved her hand, smiling, ”We’re classmates; no need to be polite. As long as my information can help you, I’m happy.”

At that time, when Ji You organized the free lottery, her heart softened at the thought of Liu Beibei working so hard, yet always feeling disappointed and crying alone in a corner. So, she orchestrated a small scheme, allowing Liu Beibei to win a low-level soul artifact.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so effective.

Ji You felt very happy.

With this happiness, she walked briskly, and thinking about the string of zeros in her bank account, she was even more delighted.

Whistling and humming a song, riding the small floating car, Ji You sped along and soon arrived at Laboratory No. 10. The laboratory was a fortress-like building. After passing the verification, Ji You entered the lab and was immediately taken aback—
