The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: Poverty

Mu Jianling didn’t say a word. She simply lifted her foot and kicked Ji You in the butt, expressing her meaning through action.

Ji You, holding her butt, hurriedly fled...

After running for a while, she realized that Teacher Mu Jianling hadn’t chased after her. She quickly stopped, glanced in Teacher Mu Jianling’s direction, and saw that there was no real anger in her eyes. So...

Ji You thickened her skin, went back over, squeezed out a smile, and asked, ”Teacher... can’t I really sell it for money?”

Cough cough...

Such a good and precious thing should be sold. Not only does it achieve the purpose of earning money, but it also helps to promote this Body Building Technique and benefit more people.

Mu Jianling glanced sideways at Ji You and said, ”Do you really think your butt is made of tiger skin, and I can’t shatter it with a kick?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You shivered all over, quickly dismissed this excellent idea of making money, and said, ”Teacher... I can sometimes reach the Ninth Layer using spiritual power now. Do you think I should continue training my Physical Strength systematically, upgrade it to S-Class, and then try to break through to the Ninth Layer? Or should I train in combination with spiritual power?”

The Fierce Tiger Body Forging Technique was created by Admiral Bai Ji, who spent a lot of time and effort continuously observing, recording the habits and attack methods of tigers, and summarizing them to form this Body Building Technique.

It is very valuable.

Ji You naturally cherishes it greatly. However, after listening to Teacher Mu Jianling’s words, Ji You felt slightly confused. She was unsure whether her future training direction should focus mainly on Physical Strength or spiritual power?

Hearing Ji You’s question, Mu Jianling said, ”Focus on Physical Strength.”

Ji You was surprised, ”Teacher?”

Mu Jianling said coldly, ”There are no other reasons. Your Physical Strength is too weak, even more fragile than glass. Without a solid foundation, even if you truly master the Ninth Layer, you’ll be restricted by your Physical Strength and unable to use it freely.”

After listening, Ji You found it very reasonable, nodded immediately, and said earnestly, ”Hmm, thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I will practice according to your teaching.”

After hearing this, Mu Jianling’s mouth turned up slightly.

Ji You, this one, number 4444, having said she wants to train according to her teaching, makes Mu Jianling not worry at all. Because in some aspects, Ji You is a very obedient, clever, sensible, and considerate good student, but in some other aspects, she is utterly frustrating... Thinking of some aspects, Mu Jianling suddenly felt a pounding pain in her molars.

Then, Mu Jianling heard Ji You chirping non-stop in front of her:

”Teacher?”

”What’s wrong with you?”

”Why are you grinding your teeth so hard?”

”I hear a creaking sound; I can almost suspect your teeth are going to shatter...”

”Teacher...”

Mu Jianling slapped her hand over, ending Ji You’s chatter.

Ji You laughed cheekily and stepped aside.

Mu Jianling said coldly, ”If you dare to spout nonsense in front of me again, next time it’ll be your head.”

Ji You smiled slyly at Teacher Mu, not worried about her head in the slightest. She was already pondering how the school’s training room’s conditions were quite rich, while the body building equipment in her dormitory was overly rudimentary...

One path spending money could result in better improvement.

The other path, without spending money, offers limited improvement.

Which to choose?

After weighing the options multiple times, Ji You gritted her teeth and decided to be extravagant: spend money!

Thinking about it, Ji You couldn’t help but mutter, ”Teacher... can you mention to Director Wang that the 10 days of free access to the training room, library, and resource room he gave me is too little, right? Just 10 days! It’s gone in the blink of an eye; what’s the point?”

Upon hearing the words ’10 days,’ Mu Jianling’s ears twitched, with a flash of light in her dark eyes that quickly vanished. Mu Jianling kept her face stern, completely indifferent to Ji You’s thoughts.

Ji You wasn’t daunted by Teacher Mu Jianling’s attitude. She was never one to read facial expressions. Frowning in frustration, she put her hands on her hips, feeling aggrieved, ”Saying it’s a reward, saying I brought fame to the school, made great contributions, and that next year’s enrollment would be a breeze... But is this how you reward me? 10 days? Only 10 days?”

”You should at least give me a month.”

”10 days...” the more Ji You thought about it, the angrier she became: ”10 days are useless to me.”

However——

Mu Jianling remained unmoved; not only did her limbs not budge, but there was also no change in facial expression, the curve of her mouth, or her breathing... all without any variation. Ji You’s endless talk meant nothing to Mu Jianling; it was as if Ji You’s words ’useless’ were what she was mumbling now.

Ji You spent ages trying to persuade, but upon finding Teacher Mu Jianling truly indifferent, she had no choice but to dismiss the idea. She sighed and lamented, ”Little cabbage, going yellow in the fields...”

Before she could sing ’ya,’ Mu Jianling launched a kick, sending Ji You flying into the air.

Ji You: ”!!!”

...

After a not-so-graceful free fall, Ji You, clutching her sore butt, shot Mu Jianling a bitter look, ”Yingyingying~”

She ran away.

Ji You ran away.

The world returned to peace.

Mu Jianling raised her hand to rub her forehead, but thinking of Ji You’s progress, a barely noticeable smile crept onto her lips. Then, she dialed someone’s contact number.

Sitting in the office, holding his small teacup, slowly savoring tea, Director Wang suddenly felt an itch in his nose. At first, he paid no heed, just grabbed a tissue to wipe his nose.

Then.

Director Wang resumed holding his teacup, took a gentle sip, set the cup down, and glanced sideways at Principal Hong, who was happily drinking his little pot of Erguotou. He said, ”Old Hong, what’s so enjoyable about drinking alcohol? It harms the body. You should switch to drinking tea with me.”

Principal Hong sat in a chair with a backrest, one leg crossed over the other. His posture was far from elegant, yet the way he held his little wine cup was quite imposing. Hearing Old Wang’s words, Principal Hong sneered, ”Only old geezers clutch a teacup every day and never let go.”

Director Wang, slightly displeased, retorted, ”You roughneck, what do you know about the joys of tea tasting?”

Principal Hong said coldly, ”You pretentious guy, knowing full well I don’t like tea, why bother me? Go drink your tea.”

Director Wang was about to speak when he heard Principal Hong’s contact number ringing across from him, so he paused.

Principal Hong glanced down, saw who it was, and said, ”It’s Jianling calling. I don’t know who she’s targeting this time.” With that, Principal Hong raised his hand, signaling Director Wang to keep quiet.

The call connected instantly, showing Mu Jianling’s face that looked like everyone owed her millions, and she demanded, ”Speak.”
