The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: Doubts

When Lou heard Ji You’s words, his smile froze, and after a few seconds, he quickly winked at Ji You: ”Ahem... What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

——Stop talking, there is no such thing as watermelon skin, okay?

Lou had made up the story that the watermelon peels were given to Ji You to feed pigs; it was purely nonsense, a random excuse to avoid people misunderstanding his behavior as creepy.

But!

Lou didn’t expect 4444 to play along, asking him to return the watermelon peels?

Isn’t this deliberately reminding the onlooking students of this incident again?

Sure enough.

As soon as Ji You’s words landed, the surrounding students’ eyes started changing, from admiration and envy to disdain and contempt.

Unfortunately, Ji You looked completely clueless, unable to understand Lou’s signs. Instead of dropping the topic, she shouted in front of everyone: ”I clearly gave you money for 100 tons of watermelon peels. You said you had connections to buy natural watermelon peels, that’s why I commissioned you to buy them. What is this now? Are you reneging on your debt?”

Lou stared wide-eyed: ”1... 100 tons?”

Isn’t that exaggerated?

Ji You sneered: ”At this point, you still want to dodge the debt? Let me tell you, if the pigs at our school’s farm starve, or any issues arise affecting their growth, it’s all your fault.”

Lou: ”...”

Ji You shouted: ”All the braised ribs meals in the school cafeteria will be affected because you’re dodging your debt, and everyone will have one less rib to eat.”

Lou: ”...”

Ji You: ”You vile, wicked scumbag!”

Lou’s mouth was agape, not knowing how to close it.

Nearby, Lance, Penny, Zhang Ye... Many classmates watched as Ji You, with a few words, rendered Lou speechless, and couldn’t help but laugh, slapping their thighs fiercely. Especially Zhang Ye, he almost jumped over to make fun of Lou: ”That’s what you get for throwing watermelon peels around, that’s what you get for littering without decency. Have you realized your mistake? Now go and return all 1000 tons of watermelon peels to 4444.”

Lou’s mouth twitched, rolling his eyes dramatically: ”1000 tons you watermelon peel. I don’t owe anything, ask whoever you want.”

Zhang Ye jumped over, pointing at Lou’s face, cursing: ”Scumbag!”

Lou sneered.

At this moment——

Teacher Mu Jianling stood on the podium, arms crossed, listening to the students with interest, seemingly not intending to interrupt their conversation. Meanwhile, someone among the crowd asked: ”Teacher, can we finish class now?”

After intense training and continuous battles, it was already past mealtime. The cafeteria’s limited supply of natural food likely had stopped, and everyone was tired and thirsty, wanting to rest...

Mu Jianling raised his hand upon hearing, and all the students naturally stopped, waiting for Teacher Mu Jianling to speak.

Then.

Mu Jianling said: ”Class dismissed.”

”Wow!” The students couldn’t help but cheer, quickly rushing towards the classroom door. Ji You, the shortest among them, was the fastest. She sped towards the door like a little scooter, and as she was about to cross the giant beast mouth-shaped door of the training room, a slightly cool voice came from behind: ”4444 Ji You, stay.”

Squeak!

The shoes scraped against the floor, making a harsh sound. Ji You wanted to pretend she didn’t hear, but her hearing was too sharp. Plus, Teacher Mu’s words intentionally released some spiritual power, making it impossible for Ji You to pretend she hadn’t heard. She was forced to brake abruptly.

Then.

Watching as Chu Jiaojiao was the first to cross the threshold, followed by Yue Qiguang, then Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... Even Liu Fufeng, the weakling, tremblingly walked out the door. Ji You turned her head, squeezing out an awkward smile to Teacher Mu Jianling: ”Teach... Teacher... What can I do for you?”

Mu Jianling beckoned Ji You with a finger.

Although unwilling, Ji You obediently went over, ”Teacher, please give your orders, whether it’s climbing knife mountains or diving into fire seas, as long as you speak, I will not hesitate to go!”

”Slap!”

Mu Jianling smacked Ji You on the back of her head.

”...” Ji You shrank her neck, puzzled, asking: ”Teacher, why did you hit me?”

Mu Jianling casually said: ”My hand itched.”

Ji You’s mouth twitched, hearing Mu Jianling’s rare serious tone: ”Ji You, do you know why you ranked 100th in United University’s list?”

Huh?

Ji You shivered, instantly becoming serious, thinking for a moment, and shook her head earnestly: ”I don’t know. But I know that ranking 100th is well deserved.”

After speaking, Ji You looked up, full of anticipation, waiting for Teacher Mu to explain.

Mu Jianling didn’t leave her in suspense, directly saying: ”Principal Hong reported it voluntarily.”

Ji You pondered: ”I know that. Wasn’t it mentioned before? It was Principal Hong who reported it.” After enrolling, all her performance and growth were under the observation of Teacher Mu Jianling, Principal Hong, and Dr. Luo.

Leading her team past Level 8 Sea Iron Bull’s series of performances, and outside Eagle Space Station teaming up with Old Chen, also known as Senior Chen Ke, Senior Tang Qi, in killing Level 6 Viper Worm... Principal Hong reported all this truthfully to the official Alliance University, and after verification by Alliance University, determined Ji You’s true strength, hence, securing her 100th rank in United University’s list.

These...

Ji You already knew all this.

But she didn’t quite understand why Teacher Mu Jianling suddenly asked her about it again, staring at Mu Jianling with a puzzled expression.

Facing Ji You’s confusion, Mu Jianling didn’t immediately answer, instead thinking about something. During the thought, whatever she pondered seemed to bother her, her brows slightly furrowed, then, Mu Jianling didn’t respond, instead asking: ”Don’t you find it strange? Clearly, with the freshly released United University rankings, why suddenly have a collegiate competition?”

Ji You blinked: ”It seems a bit strange. But this is not particularly prominent. United University’s rankings stem from official statistics, primarily being a comprehensive assessment post-review of strong students from various galaxies’ schools, resulting in the rankings. Moreover, the list updates in real time, as long as a challenger emerges and successfully challenges, they can replace the defeated one’s ranking, significantly motivating all Alliance students. I’m considering improving my rank and scouting for challengers myself.”

Ji You paused briefly, then continued: ”But collegiate competitions are of another form.”
