The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Too Useless, Nobody Wants It

Ji You wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but ask Mu Jianling beside him, ”Eld... Teacher... What Star Level is this mecha?”

Mu Jianling said calmly: ”5 Star.”

Ji You suddenly widened his eyes: ”!!!”

Star mechas are the highest level in the Alliance and in human history. Across the eight Star Systems currently occupied by humans, you can’t find 20 of them because — the cost of 5 Star mechas is too high, too high, and their production difficulty is too great, too great...

After taking a deep breath, Ji You turned to Teacher Mu Jianling, opening his mouth: ”5 Star mecha!!! You actually mentioned it so calmly! You... you you you... you’re not even a bit excited!!!”

Mu Jianling glanced at her, and said coldly: ”How excited should I be? I’m tired of seeing them, I’ve long since grown weary of the aesthetics.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You gave up.

Mu Jianling no longer paid attention to Ji You. She lifted her head, gazing at the lifelike Golden Dragon above. The Golden Dragon seemed to sense something as its vertical pupils slowly, slowly turned toward Mu Jianling.

Cold.

Aloof.

Ruthless.

...

One person and one dragon, separated by a distance, silently stared at each other. This scene inexplicably evoked a feeling of melancholy.

Ji You’s wide-open mouth snapped shut.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Time slipped by quietly, yet when Ji You snapped out of it, it was only for a moment.

The Golden Dragon overhead suddenly wobbled, its limbs failing to grip on, and fell from the ceiling.

Bang!

The huge crash was so loud it nearly deafened Ji You.

Mu Jianling sneered, mocking unreservedly: ”Weakling.”

The Golden Dragon quivered at his words, and then...

The Golden Dragon slowly, slowly shrunk to a size of just 1 meter, and up close, it lost all its majestic dragon form, resembling nothing more than a golden bug.

Then.

The Golden Dragon spoke, with a magnetic male voice saying: ”Long time no see, Teacher Mu, your words remain as sharp as ever.”

Mu Jianling said calmly: ”Long time no see, you remain as incapable as ever.”

The Golden Dragon flicked its tail somewhat sulkily, then suddenly turned to Ji You, asking: ”Teacher Mu, is this your new student?”

Mu Jianling neither affirmed nor denied.

The Golden Dragon said: ”So short.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Did shortness offend you?

Did I eat your rice?

Ji You was displeased, and hurriedly asked Teacher Mu: ”Teacher, what breed of bug is this? Can it be slaughtered?”

Mu Jianling hadn’t spoken yet when the Golden Dragon appeared startled by the words, proactively said: ”Few humans meet me wanting to possess me, rather wanting to slaughter me. Child, you’re quite interesting.”

While speaking, its eyes fixated on Ji You, and after a serious look for 1 second, it smiled: ”Very well, you’ve successfully caught my attention.”

When Ji You heard this, goosebumps spread all over, saying: ”What’s with this? Your speech sounds strange, overly dramatic and edgy.”

Even more suffocating than a domineering CEO.

The Golden Dragon said: ”You needn’t strive to gain my attention, I won’t belong to you.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You hastily asked Teacher Mu Jianling: ”Teacher, are you certain this is a mecha? Not some strange thing?”

Mu Jianling said calmly: ”During its initial design, the main chip of this bug had a bit of an error, causing it some mental issues, just ignore it.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You felt relieved.

Otherwise, Ji You would suspect some hapless domineering CEO transmigrated into a mecha.

Hearing Mu Jianling say this, the Golden Dragon promptly corrected: ”Teacher Mu, my name is Heavenly Dog. Please call me Heavenly Dog, thank you, and—after rebooting, my brain passed all checks successfully without any issues. Please don’t cause misunderstandings with others.”

Mu Jianling: ”Noise!”

With that, Mu Jianling pressed the power-off button.

The Golden Dragon panicked, swinging its tail vigorously: ”Teacher Mu, you can’t treat me like this, please let me turn on! Let me speak.”

Dingdong～

The Golden Dragon went completely silent.

At this point, it looked just like an ordinary, pale-golden toy snake, with none of its earlier majesty and authority.

Ji You stared wide-eyed at Mu Jianling: ”Teacher, is this really a mecha?”

According to Ji You’s limited knowledge, mechas don’t come with intelligent systems, they operate entirely based on the pilot’s Spiritual Silk.

This one right in front...

No matter how you look at it, seems like an evolved True Dragon.

Entirely absent of mechanical stiffness and coarseness.

Mu Jianling said: ”This is a Biological Mecha, the only one in the Alliance, indeed in the whole world.”

Ji You’s eyes widened: ”!!!”

Oh no!

It’s the feeling of excitement!

Ji You clutched her chest tightly, asking: ”With a Biological Mecha, can it fully control itself?”

Mu Jianling shook her head and explained patiently for once: ”No. If it could entirely control itself, it wouldn’t fall under the category of machinery, but become equivalent to another species.”

And—

Humans cannot allow such new species to emerge.

If its intelligence surpasses humans, its power stronger than humans, if it loses control, the damage it inflicts on humans could be even more severe than Star Beast disasters!

Thus, humans would never design such a species.

Ji You couldn’t help but ask: ”So, it does have a pilot, right?”

Mu Jianling paused at this question, nodded, ”Yes.”

This single ’Yes’ inexplicably cooled the atmosphere.

Ji You opened her mouth, still couldn’t help but ask: ”Then, where’s its pilot?”

To qualify as the Alliance’s, and indeed humanity’s only Biological Mecha, its pilot must surely be an extremely formidable individual.

Mu Jianling said calmly: ”Dead.”

Ji You was taken aback.

After a second, Ji You didn’t dare pursue the matter further and carefully glanced at Mu Jianling’s expression, seeing no special reaction, softly asked: ”Teacher... then currently who is this mecha’s Master???”

Mu Jianling looked at the golden dragon and said: ”Too useless, no one wants it.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You blurted out: ”I want it.”

Mu Jianling glanced at her and said: ”You’re dreaming.”

Ji You pleaded: ”But you just said no one wants it.”

Mu Jianling raised her hand to knock on Ji You’s forehead, cursed: ”Even if I sell junk, I wouldn’t give it to you.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath: ”I’m switching professions to collect junk.”

Mu Jianling retorted irritably: ”How much money do you have, to dare think about redeeming the contract?”

Ji You honestly said: ”1 billion 300 million.”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Mu Jianling said: ”Truth.”

Ji You coughed slightly and said: ”1 billion 300 million and 250 credit points.”

Mu Jianling’s face darkened, cursed: ”If you dare continue with nonsense, I’ll kick you out.”

Ji You patted her pocket, laughing slyly: ”Absolutely true, not a single lie, I didn’t even round down the small change.”
