The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: What a Big Shot

Sheng Qingyan’s expression was full of disdain as well, and he said, ”Oh—what you’re saying is total nonsense.”

After speaking, Sheng Qingyan gave Ji You a disdainful glance, saying, ”As expected, a bothersome master leads to a bothersome Mecha.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s tone lifted slightly, ”Are you very idle, huh?”

”How about a fight?” Ji You squinted, full of fighting spirit!

Sheng Qingyan disdainfully said, ”I don’t want to tussle with the handicapped, alright.”

Ji You: ”Cough, cough... in three days, I’ll be a good man again.”

In Ji You’s arms, Little Golden Dragon scratched its head hard, ”Where? Where? Where exactly?”

But...

His memory seemed to have no impression of it, as if this person was truly erased from his memory. Little Golden Dragon clutched the horn on its head and said, ”I really feel like I’ve seen this doctor, but I just can’t remember.”

Yue Qiyuan suddenly asked, ”Then do you know why you are afraid of him?”

”Afraid?” Little Golden Dragon raised its head defiantly, ”I, Lord Heavenly Dog, have never been afraid.”

Yue Qiyuan responded, ”Oh—”

Yue Qiguang said, ”Oh—you’re not afraid, you’re just terrified of him.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon unhappily swished its tail, saying, ”I just sensed a trace of danger. As such a powerful Mecha, I am always very sensitive to danger. Once I detect the slightest danger, I go into self-protection mode.”

Sheng Qingyan asked, ”What kind of self-protection mode is that?”

Little Golden Dragon said proudly, ”Either run, or act scared.”

”Cough, cough...” Ji You coughed fiercely, quickly interrupting Little Golden Dragon, ”Cough, cough... we are just employing tactical self-protection, tactical.”

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan ignored Ji You’s explanation; they all said to Little Golden Dragon in unison, ”Just like your master.”

Ji You brushed off the awkwardness and said seriously, ”Little Golden Dragon, are you saying that you’ve seen this person but can’t remember who he is, where you saw him, or what happened between you two?”

Little Golden Dragon nodded earnestly, ”Yes.”

Ji You continued, ”And did you feel danger the moment you saw him?”

Little Golden Dragon nodded even harder, ”Yes.”

Little Golden Dragon then hesitated a bit, saying, ”However, I’m not particularly afraid of him. It’s just a bit scared, but not scared at the same time—a feeling that can’t be described.”

Ji You furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and said, ”Maybe he once did something unpleasant to you or to the repairman, but it wasn’t exactly malicious.”

Upon hearing this, Little Golden Dragon shuddered, ”???”

Ji You stated firmly, ”Your memory has been erased.”

Little Golden Dragon trembled, then lowered its head, saying, ”I... I also think so. I...” Its voice suddenly lowered further and further until it disappeared without a sound.

—It’s me, it’s me who failed to protect myself and the repairman.

Little Golden Dragon drooped its head.

At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly patted Little Golden Dragon’s head. Little Golden Dragon was startled and heard Ji You say with a smile, ”Mecha, without my permission, you’re not allowed to be unhappy.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Yue Qiyuan said gloomily, ”Enough already, you guys.”

Yue Qiguang: ”Will this ever end?”

Sheng Qingyan rubbed his goosebumps-covered arms, angrily saying, ”Spicy Eye! You guys are a threat to my vision first thing in the morning. By the way, since Little Golden Dragon says it can’t remember, just forget it. After all, he’s just an ordinary urologist now. Whatever bad things he did before, we don’t know yet. We’ll raid his lair when we find out in the future.”

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan: ”Exactly! Just like that.”

Little Golden Dragon listened, listened, and its eyes gradually brightened. It looked at Ji You, then at Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan. Eyes sparkling bright, it then turned to Ji You, saying, ”Woman, your buddies here are pretty good, I like them.”

Ji You smiled and asked, ”Little Golden Dragon, just now, what did he give you?”

Little Golden Dragon immediately clutched its chest tightly, saying, ”Nothing.”

Ji You squinted, seriously saying, ”I saw it clearly.”

”Impossible!” Little Golden Dragon shook its head confidently, ”You definitely didn’t see that he gave me such a big chunk of Sparrow Yellow.”

”Oh—” Ji You drawled, ”So it was Sparrow Yellow.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan: ”Sparrow Yellow???”

Ji You said, ”Yes! Dr. Cheng Zhi gave it.” While speaking, Ji You made a gesture with one hand and continued, ”It’s this big.”

All three: ”!!!”

All three hurriedly said, ”Take it out and let’s see it!”

Faced with Ji You and the other three companions’ expectant eyes, Little Golden Dragon was a little unwilling, but reluctantly took out the Sparrow Yellow, and everyone gasped:

Yue Qiguang: ”Hiss—”

Yue Qiyuan: ”Such a big piece.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Slightly bigger than my teething stick, oh.”

Ji You asked the most interesting question, ”How much is it worth?”

Yue Qiyuan estimated, ”I’d guess it’s worth at least 2 billion or so.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Little Golden Dragon immediately took the Sparrow Yellow back, eyes wary, staring at the four of them vigilantly, saying, ”Keep your drool to yourselves, this is the property of Lord Heavenly Dog, no one can take it.”

Ji You clapped, ”Exactly! If you want to take the Sparrow Yellow, you’ll have to walk over my corpse.”

Yue Qiyuan and the other three were somewhat speechless, Sheng Qingyan frowned, ”Giving you 2 billion just out of nowhere, don’t you find it suspicious? There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

Little Golden Dragon clutched its hands tightly, hiding the Sparrow Yellow even more securely, saying, ”Even if there’s arsenic in this Sparrow Yellow, I, Heavenly Dog, will swallow it whole.” A stance of never backing down once it’s gotten hold of something.

Yue Qiyuan furrowed his brow, ”It’s getting stranger and stranger. An ordinary urologist, how much can he earn a month? To just hand out a gift worth 2 billion?”

Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiguang had just checked through the Light Computer that this doctor named Cheng Zhi was just an ordinary, unremarkable urologist, a bit elderly. He was promoted to the director position this year only because the previous director was transferred to other Space Stations. Cheng Zhi became the only urologist at Jiao Space Station and got promoted.

After the promotion, Cheng Zhi’s salary increased to 100,000 credit points a month. It sounds high, but Jiao Space Station is a garrison point close to the frontlines, ready to mobilize to the frontlines with any disturbance, so the salary isn’t considered high.

He...

Casually threw out something worth 2 billion?

No doubt, he’s a big shot.

Ji You and the three companions exchanged a glance and said, ”Let’s not overthink this matter. The fact that Dr. Cheng openly shared so much with me shows he’s not afraid of us growing suspicious. This Sparrow Yellow must be fine.”
