The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Stars Surround the Moon

”What? I’ve been squeezing at the pig farm entrance for ages, and now you’re telling me Senior Ji You is in the cafeteria?”

”Damn! Why didn’t you say so earlier? If I rush over now, can I still squeeze into the front row?”

”I don’t care! I have to see the legendary 2B Senior Sis now.”

”Charge!”

...

In the blink of an eye, the cafeteria entrance was surrounded by three layers of students, and more students continued to flock in from other places. Even the juniors and seniors who didn’t know much about Ji You were curious and gathered to join the fun.

”Who?”

”Why is it so lively?”

”Is my goddess Ye Lu here? Or has my god Bai Ji Admiral arrived?”

”You’re dreaming. It’s a junior named Ji You.”

”Ji You?”

”Who’s that?”

”A second-year junior.”

”What’s up with a second-year junior?”

”Not sure, heard she’s nicknamed 2B Senior Sis and is good at raising pigs.”

...

Ji You kept a straight face with a serious expression, but she felt that she just couldn’t listen anymore. What kind of ridiculous rumors were these? Nicknamed 2B, good at raising pigs?

This was entirely different from the sage-like image Ji You wanted to establish initially, the complete opposite of Ji You’s plans.

”Ahem...” Ji You cleared her throat and said, ”Everyone—please listen to me.”

”Ahh!”

”2... Ahem... Ji You Senior Sis is speaking.”

”What’s Senior Sis going to say?”

”Senior Sis! I’m here!”

”Senior Sis, I like you!”

...

Rattle~

The buzzing crowd made a noisy sound that gave Ji You quite the headache, and according to the current congestion, there was no chance of getting away anytime soon. Ji You kept a straight face, feeling not only a headache but also a throbbing pain in her back teeth...

As the crowd engulfed Ji You, and it seemed like she’d be stuck for quite a while, Little Golden Dragon looked around and suddenly spotted Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan about to step into the cafeteria from a corner. Little Golden Dragon’s eyes lit up, and then, disguised as a statue, it jumped up—

Whoosh~

And landed on Shen Changqing’s shoulder.

Shen Changqing was startled but, realizing it was Little Golden Dragon, placed it on his palm.

Little Golden Dragon flicked its tail and said seriously, ”It’s too hot over there. I came here to cool down a bit.”

Yue Qiguang pouted, ”I think you’re abandoning your master to escape?”

”...” Little Golden Dragon turned its neck, facing away from Yue Qiguang, and told Shen Changqing and others, ”Since there aren’t many people queuing at the cafeteria, let’s go in quickly.”

Looking at Ji You, trapped and unable to leave, Shen Changqing hesitated slightly, ”If we just leave Ji You like this, isn’t that a bit... not right?”

”Nonsense.” Yue Qiyuan pretended to be angry and said, ”This is a tactical retreat. If we don’t go first, how can we secure spots in line for food? And get a seat for her?”

”Exactly.” Sheng Qingyan pouted, ”Let’s go, or we won’t get any braised ribs later.”

Saying that.

The group, along with their pet mecha, dashed into the cafeteria like a gust of wind.

...

With Little Golden Dragon abandoning her and running off, Ji You clutched her empty stomach, watching Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and others leave to enjoy good food and drinks. Not only did her back teeth hurt, but her teeth started to ache as well.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The noise around couldn’t be stopped in the short term.

Having not yet become a superstar, Ji You already experienced the troubles of one. Her eyes moved around, and suddenly, she raised her hand and shouted, ”Look! A plane!”

Boom—

Those three simple words, tinged with a strange allure, made the students blocking the school entrance instinctively look up toward the sky—

Huh?

At that moment, Ji You ducked low and swiftly squeezed her way through the crowd. With her nimble body, she twisted and turned, quickly making her way into the cafeteria.

By then—

The students surrounding her snapped out of it: ”Was Senior Ji You deceiving us?”

”She’s gone.”

”I saw her enter the cafeteria.”

”At the braised ribs window.”

In an instant—

The crowd surrounded again.

Holding her tray, Ji You: ”...”

Ji You raised her tray and loudly declared to the approaching crowd, ”Please follow the cafeteria rules, be civilized and polite, and queue consciously.”

The students: ”...”

However, because of Ji You’s words, the students’ high spirits somewhat cooled down. It was at this moment that the cafeteria robots hurriedly came out to maintain order.

The students followed the rules, each choosing their preferred food stalls and started queuing.

Of course, conversations continued unabated.

One student shouted, ”Senior Ji You, as one of the only two freshmen in the top 100 of United University, why do you have a penchant for pig farming?” The only two referred to Ji You, ranked 100th, and Shen Sheng, ranked 88th. Both made the list as freshmen. Of course, both are now sophomores. After the official start of school, the United University ranking will be updated.

Ji You’s face turned dark when she heard this.

Do these guys know what’s meant by ’posturing’ to the max?

How is ’posting at the highest level’ defined?

Ahem...

Probably not.

As soon as the student finished speaking, the large cafeteria burst into laughter. Of course, this laughter wasn’t mocking Ji You but was a good-natured, affectionate tease.

Many students paid attention to this list, followed the United University rankings, and watched rumors unfold on the school’s intranet forum. They also witnessed Ji You stand up to defend them and the school in an impressive rebuttal to all rumors...

Thus, their admiration for Ji You grew even more.

Everyone stared at Ji You with bright, hopeful eyes, waiting for her response—

Ji You composed herself with a serious demeanor and said, ”I enjoy pig farming simply because—”

Everyone instinctively held their breath, eager to hear the answer.

Ji You said, ”Because I like eating pork.”

The students: ”...”

Ji You continued, ”Pork is delicious. Especially pork ribs, whether braised, in soup, stir-fried, or steamed...”

The students: ”...”

With a measured tone, Ji You’s voice almost sounded like an emotionless AI: ”For example, this braised pork ribs dish from the school is exceptional! I highly recommend it.”

The students all had their mouths agape, eyes wide... Everyone was a bit dumbfounded, unsure why, instead of the anticipated words of her success, they were listening to her promoting pork?

At this moment, a commotion suddenly arose at the cafeteria entrance—
