The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Victory Is Certain

After dinner.

Night had fallen, and moonlight spilled from the sky. Everything outside the cafeteria was shrouded in moonlight, like thin silhouettes, unclear to the eye. Ji You paused at the door, then decided to head to the paid training room for extra practice, so she greeted Chu Jiaojiao and the others before changing her path.

But just as Ji You took two steps, she heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw Chu Jiaojiao following with her hands in her pockets, saying, ”The night is so beautiful, Jiaojiao will keep you company to enjoy the moon.”

Ji You twitched the corner of her mouth.

Then.

Behind Chu Jiaojiao followed Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan... this group of tall people. Yue Qiguang strode forward, arrogantly saying, ”I have to train hard, otherwise, with a group of pig teammates behind me, I might not be able to carry them.”

Ji You glanced at Yue Qiguang, unceremoniously retorting, ”You’re the biggest pig teammate, from head to toe, even down to each hair and flake of dandruff, all bearing the words ’pig teammate’.

Yue Qiguang snorted, not wanting to bother with Ji You.

The group moved with great understanding towards the direction of the training room.

Behind them.

A floating car sped towards them, stopping in front of Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others. Inside, a pretty head peeked out, pouting, ”Oh, I said I wanted to sleep, why go to training? Such a good time should be spent lying in bed, wasting youth, not wasted in a training room...”

Chu Jiaojiao slapped over, ”Shut up! If you want to sleep, go sleep, don’t follow us!”

Sheng Qingyan, feeling disdainful, said, ”I wasn’t planning to go to the training room, I just happened to pass by, want a ride?” Meanwhile, Sheng Qingyan secretly cursed: a bunch of tightwads, not one willing to spend a credit point to take a car.

As soon as he finished, Ji You was the first to jump into the car. Seeing the others still hesitating, she urged, ”What are you standing there for? Get in the car! Not going to take a free ride? Silly!”

After Ji You spoke, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan... all jumped into the car.

Sheng Qingyan said, ”Fee required, 1 credit point per person~”

As soon as he finished speaking, the group led by Ji You immediately made a move to jump out of the car. Sheng Qingyan couldn’t help but roll his eyes, complaining, ”Are you guys really that short on 1 credit point?”

Ji You chuckled and said, ”You were right, we are short 1 credit point, because we never planned to spend it at all. We were planning to mooch this 1 credit point off you, Spicy Eye. You’ve already spent that 1 credit point, so why not let us save it...”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

One credit point after another, almost making him dizzy. Sheng Qingyan felt a sudden toothache at the back, immediately pressing the manual control button, accelerating dramatically as the auto floating car whooshed off.

Inside the car.

Ji You said, ”Senior He Bi said earlier that he’s leading a team into the Space Rift. Among us from the 131st Combat Department including Liu Fufeng and Yu Song, a total of 10 people, how many of us will get a pass depends on us.”

After talking privately with Mu Jianling earlier, Ji You had taken advantage of dinner to directly convey the importance of the interschool competition to Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and the others. After listening, everyone became serious.

Space Rift—

Everyone present had heard of it, and when mentioned, they all knew it represented three words: Danger, Opportunity, Rare.

So far, all the Space Rifts discovered in the universe belong to all of humanity. Humans have discovered 3 Space Rifts, but each rift is at a location too far, completely unsuitable for human habitation, opening once every few decades or even hundreds of years. During one such opening 300 years ago, humans discovered 2 Natural Soul Artifacts inside, leading to the creation of the ’Soul Device’ concept.

Because of the continuous research and exploration of these 2 soul devices, humans later found more hidden Natural Soul Artifacts in nature, which led to the birth of artificial soul devices...

With ’Soul Devices’ aiding the growth of spiritual power, humans’ research and understanding of spiritual power took a huge leap forward, as did the development of powerful weaponry and armor like mechs and battleships.

...

The importance of Space Rifts to humanity is evident.

Entering a Space Rift means humans are exploring it, and it represents an unparalleled honor.

This interschool competition is not only about the honor of the Lanyue Star Military Academy, but also bears societal responsibilities... it’s a pressure, but it also contains immense motivation.

We must succeed.

Yue Qiguang shouted, ”You weaklings better work hard, anyway, I’m determined to win.”

Yue Qiyuan glanced at his idiot brother. He may look foolish, but he always acts with such confidence, not in self-deception, but from a genuine belief that he is amazing, powerful. Yue Qiyuan feels a genuine respect for this. Yue Qiyuan then said lightly, ”I actually don’t really want to go, but if my idiot brother goes, he’ll cause you a lot of trouble, so fine, I’ll tag along to keep an eye.”

He talks as if entering a Space Rift is something he can do at will, and that the opponents he’ll face can be defeated with just a flick of his finger...

Poser.

Showing off at a new level.

Successfully earning a bunch of eye rolls from everyone.

”Although Space Rifts are dangerous, and life can be lost at any time, but!!! I still want to go!” Shen Changqing looked at Ji You and the others, with a very solemn tone, ”Everyone, do your best, not one of us should be left behind.”

”Mm.”

”Certainly.”

”Let’s go!”

While everyone was confidently encouraging each other, Sheng Qingyan seemed like an outsider. He was half asleep with his head tilted back, dozing off against the sofa backrest.

...

A few seconds later.

The car stopped at the door of the after-school training hall.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others got off, seeing Sheng Qingyan closely following behind, Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but sneer, ”Didn’t you say you weren’t coming and wanted to go back to sleep?”

Sheng Qingyan hummed, ”When did I say that? I don’t remember saying it.”

”If you want to join the training, then join the training, nobody’s calling you weak.” Yue Qiguang muttered as he walked to the spiritual power training room, swiped his card, and entered.

In the blink of an eye, the group selected their individual training programs, without delay or idle chatter, quickly entering their chosen training grounds.

Physical fitness remained Ji You’s weak point, so this time, she again chose the Physical Strength training hall.
