The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Can’t Defend Against It

He Bi was shaking the spoon, and pieces of meat fell down with a rhythm, making Ji You twitch at the corner of her mouth, unable to help but say, ”Senior He Bi, with synthetic food, you might as well not shake the spoon at all, or if it gets too much, you’re easy to get beaten up for it.”

When the time came, the supply of natural food stopped. Now in the cafeteria, apart from sand and mud, of course, only synthetic food was still being served.

Synthetic food has the appearance and presentation of natural food, which can be easily fabricated, but the smell and taste of synthetic food simply cannot compare to natural food, let alone its nutritional value.

But!

The entire Alliance still consumes the most synthetic food.

Three meals a day being entirely natural food is a luxury only for wealthy families. The daily staple of most Alliance households relies on a combination of 30% natural food + synthetic food.

When the Lanyue Star Military Academy’s cafeteria serves synthetic food, usually there’s no need for manual serving, and meals are directly served by robots. At this moment, Ji You saw that Senior He Bi hadn’t left and was leading the serving work, so she couldn’t help but make a comment.

He Bi smiled, not angry at all, and asked, ”Not buying some meat?”

Ji You said, ”With synthetic meat, I’d rather have nutrient solution.”

The texture of synthetic food is truly unappetizing. After getting used to natural food, Ji You really can’t get accustomed to synthetic food again, so she just bought a simple set meal and carried the tray to Chu Jiaojiao and the others’ table to sit down.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and the others had all finished eating. Ji You looked at their clean plates, so shiny they reflected everyone’s varying facial expressions, then buried her head to eat.

At that moment, He Bi put down the spatula, took off the apron, washed his hands clean, and carried out his exquisite cafeteria staff-exclusive boxed meal, sitting across from Ji You.

There was meat, vegetables, fish, and soup...

The aroma was overwhelming~

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You speechlessly said, ”Senior He Bi, I think you’re doing this on purpose to get back at me.”

He Bi candidly said, ”I am.”

Ji You: ”...”

He Bi smiled, ”I just love watching you dislike me, but unable to beat me up, it’s especially funny and entertaining.”

Ji You extended her long arm, chopsticks already hooking the piece of meat from He Bi’s bowl, and then He Bi raised his chopsticks and slapped forcefully.

Plop~

The meat fell.

Without a single bit of error, it fell right back into He Bi’s bowl with great precision.

He Bi laughed, ”Your reflexes and timing are good, but your brain is too dull; your head and body aren’t coordinated. Watch me—”

He Bi swiftly reached out, chopsticks already pinching a synthetic bean sprout from Ji You’s bowl, smiling, ”See? You already saw that I was making a move, and even guessed which piece of meat I might grab, but you just couldn’t stop it.”

”...” Ji You opened her mouth, her hand holding the chopstick trembled a bit.

Indeed.

Before a top master, her little tricks couldn’t hold. If Senior He Bi used a knife just now, what if it were an energy knife with deadly power?

...

Thinking of this, Ji You retracted the smile on her face, becoming serious, ”Thank you, Senior He Bi, for the guidance, I will definitely strive to change.”

He Bi’s lips curled up into a slight smile, ”Feel the gap? Your combat skills in your second year are indeed top-notch, but placed in the senior grades, your level is just average.”

Ji You: ”...”

While Ji You and Senior He Bi interacted, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others were silent, quietly listening. Hearing Senior He Bi say Ji You’s level was average among seniors, everyone compared themselves and didn’t look well.

He Bi raised his hand, swiftly tapped Ji You’s head. His movements seemed natural, not particularly quick. The starting motion, raising, and the fist coming down... all actions were in the eyes of Chu Jiaojiao, Ji You, Shen Changqing... But!!!

Unpreventable.

Completely unpreventable.

All this happened in front of Ji You, and each of Senior He Bi’s moves seemed to clearly replay in slow motion in Ji You’s mind, yet she still couldn’t defend against it.

When her head was hit hard, Ji You felt a bit off overall, ”Damn! Senior, how do you do it?”

He Bi smiled, ”A bit of spiritual power interference, plus a slight acceleration of the attack speed, that’s all.”

Ji You: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao and others were also collectively shocked, especially the two S-Class Spiritual Talents, Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan, whose pupils widened. Yue Qiyuan couldn’t hide the shock and surprise, saying, ”Senior, I’m convinced my spiritual power wasn’t interfered with.”

He Bi smiled, ”Letting you find out would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it?”

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

He Bi looked at Ji You in front of him and glanced at the classmates beside her, smiling, ”You’ve all entered the list for the interschool competition, right?”

Everyone nodded.

He Bi said, ”Use all your skills, don’t hold back, make it to the top ten in the league, and if not, at least aim for the top 50.”

Ji You was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t had a chance to discuss the entry tickets with her classmates yet, and Senior He Bi knew already, subtly reminding her.

Ji You frankly asked, ”Senior He Bi, you know about the entry ticket thing?”

”Entry ticket?”

”What’s that?”

”To where?” Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... all expressed their confusion.

He Bi said, ”Space Rift.”

Chu Jiaojiao and others: ”!!!”

Yue Qiguang exclaimed in astonishment, ”Senior, you’re bluffing, right? I haven’t heard any news about this recently. Could you have gotten it wrong?”

He Bi gave Yue Qiguang a sideways glance and said nothing, instead turning to Ji You, solemnly advising, ”Take it seriously, put all your energy into preparing for this, understand?”

Ji You hurriedly nodded, ”Got it. Senior, don’t worry.”

He Bi turned to the others, ”You weak chickens, little melons, each one of you, some are even weaker than Ji You, if you don’t work hard now, when you really step onto the field, you’ll be KO’d in 3 seconds, and it’ll be embarrassing.”

Chu Jiaojiao and others: ”...”

He Bi swallowed the last bite of rice, slowly put down the chopsticks, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, addressing Ji You who was still eating synthetic food, ”This time entering the Space Rift, I’ll be leading, I have high hopes for you all, don’t get eliminated prematurely, I’ll be very disappointed. If you come to buy braised pork rice, each of you will surely drop a piece.”

Ji You and others: ”...”
