The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054: Rankings Descend from the Heavens!

Ji You and the others were stunned.

Teacher Lv Liang smiled and said, ”Didn’t you notice that everyone’s expressions when they look at you are a bit strange?”

Ji You blinked: ”Indeed, a bit strange. But I’m sure I don’t owe them any money. Although I’m in debt, I’m a very credible person. I would never borrow money without repaying. Even if I owe money, I definitely have a clear IOU on it.”

Lv Liang was momentarily choked by Ji You’s words, though he kept a very calm expression. He even asked a bit gossipily, ”Oh— I heard that Ji You has an IOU of 50 billion?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s face immediately turned dark, she lowered her tone and firmly denied, ”Nonsense, there’s no such thing. Absolutely not that much!”

She only owed 10 billion.

Only 10 billion.

When did it suddenly jump to 50 billion?

”Which idiot is spreading such nonsense, and if I find out, I’ll beat him up,” Ji You said angrily, clenching her fist.

Lv Liang laughed and said, ”It was Teacher Mu who said it personally.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You stared wide-eyed: ”You must have misheard?”

Lv Liang laughed and said, ”Maybe I misheard? But that’s what Teacher Mu said. She said, ’This brat owes me 50 billion. It won’t be easy for her to die. Even if she dies, I, Mu Jianling, will drag her back from the Yama Palace for the debt.’ Those were her exact words.” Lv Liang made a gesture and even intentionally mimicked Teacher Mu Jianling’s tone, ”Really, I didn’t add, omit or exaggerate a word.”

Ji You’s face twitched all over, but she still tried to clarify, ”No such thing, not that much. I only owe 10 billion, definitely not 50 billion.”

Lv Liang: ”...”

Others: ”...”

”You actually owe so much?” Lv Liang looked at Ji You with a complicated expression and said, ”Good luck, child! But I think you might not have the chance to repay it...”

Ji You: ”???”

What a baffling statement, utterly confusing. Ji You pressed for more details, ”Teacher Lv, what exactly are you trying to say to me?”

Lv Liang smiled slightly and said, ”Try to stay alive.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You didn’t like hearing that, it sounded as if she didn’t have long to live. Ji You’s mouth twitched, and she said, ”Teacher Lv, if you keep talking nonsense, I’m going to have to complain about you.”

”Ahem...” Lv Liang’s smile didn’t change, but his tone became serious, ”In any case, for some time ahead, you’ll be beaten by many people, hang in there!”

These words left Ji You even more bewildered.

Lv Liang turned to the equally confused Chu Jiaojiao and the others and smiled, ”You all hang in there, too.”

Then.

Lv Liang didn’t say any more, lowered his head, and continued with his work.

Ji You exchanged glances with Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and the others, and they all felt the talk of getting beaten up was nonsense, so they collectively decided to return to the dorms and have a good sleep.

The group took a step toward the task hall’s exit, just then, a loud voice suddenly echoed from the center of the hall: ”Whoa! The new rankings are out!”

”Really?”

”When?”

”Just now, Shen Sheng from United University ranking 89 challenged He Fei, who was 88, succeeded, and the two switched ranks.”

”Whoa!”

”So fast!”

”Is this person a beast? Going from rank 98 to 88 in just 10 days! One rank a day! So fast! So fierce!”

”A video?”

”Is the video out?”

”It’s out!”

...

Soon after, all the students in the task hall halted, then opened their Light Computers, lowered their heads, and watched seriously...

The atmosphere was quiet, eerily quiet.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... all had eyes wide open, looking puzzled. Chu Jiaojiao said, ”What ranking? What challenge? Did the school start another competition or something?”

Saying that, Chu Jiaojiao quickly opened her Light Computer to check the official school announcements.

Then—

Chu Jiaojiao saw a bright red, flaming post: [All Alliance University Student Battle Rankings Top 100:

First Place: Li Jing, male, 23 years old, S-level physique, S-level spiritual power, Senior Year student at Alliance First Military Academy...

Second Place: Ouyang Zhou, male, 23 years old, S-level physique, S-level spiritual power, Senior Year student at Alliance First Military Academy...

Third Place: Lin Xueyan, female, 23 years old, S-level physique, S-level spiritual power, Senior Year student at Alliance First Military Academy...

...

Ninth Place: He Bi, male, 21 years old, S-level physique, A-level spiritual power, Second Year student at Lanyue Star Military Academy...

...

88th Place: Shen Sheng, female, 18 years old, S-level physique, S-level spiritual power, Freshman at Alliance First Military Academy...

...

98th Place: Hu Wu, male, 22 years old, S-level physique, S-level spiritual power, Third Year student at Alliance Third Military Academy...

99th Place: Barro Parker, 23 years old, S-level physique, S-level spiritual power, Senior Year student at Lanyue Star Military Academy...

100th Place: Ji You, female, 18 years old, B-level physique, B-level spiritual power, Freshman at Lanyue Star Military Academy...]

Looking through the entire list, the fact that Alliance First Military Academy, ranked first in the entire Alliance, had such a high proportion of students on the list was not surprising. However, He Bi, a Second Year student at Lanyue Star Military Academy, ranking ninth was quite unexpected. Though he has always been an outstanding and well-known fighting genius at the school, Chu Jiaojiao and others were a bit surprised but not overly shocked...

However—

Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Liu Fufeng all turned to Ji You, wide-eyed, and said in unison, ”Ji You, how on earth did you end up on this ranking?”

This must be a joke, right?

It has to be a joke, right?

The United University rank list of 100 students, whether Senior Year graduates or Freshman newcomers, no matter the year, gender, or major... they only ranked by combat ability, and Ji You somehow made it onto the list?

This has to be a joke.

This must be a fake ranking.

Chu Jiaojiao and the others felt as if they had been struck by a Level 12 interstellar storm, and looked like they had been struck by lightning. Yue Qiguang clutched his chest, holding it tightly, and shouted, ”No. 4444, you fool, you’re a 2B! A 2B among a bunch of 2S, don’t you think you stand out? How is this possible? Daddy doesn’t believe it! Daddy must be drunk today and still dreaming!”

”Someone!”

”Get me a peanut, I need to sober up.”
