The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Nonsense!

Upon hearing Yue Qiguang’s words, Ji You, Sheng Qingyan, and Liu Fufeng all nodded in agreement.

Then.

Yue Qiguang said: ”Shen Changqing, although you are mainly responsible for piloting the spaceship, you must also use your spiritual power to be vigilant about the surrounding environment. If you notice anything unusual, report it immediately.”

Shen Changqing replied softly, ”Okay.”

After issuing several commands in a row, Yue Qiguang furrowed his brows, pondering carefully whether he had missed anything or considered anything inadequately, but!

Unexpectedly.

Really didn’t expect.

Yue Qiguang yanked his hair hard, feeling that being the captain was not an easy task.

...

An internal conflict that was about to erupt was quietly resolved. Dr. Luo and Principal Hong exchanged a glance, and Dr. Luo showed a slightly helpless smile, saying: ”That kid 4444 really has a knack. With just a few words, he quietly defused an internal crisis.”

A few words exposed Principal Hong’s trickery, not only resolving the rigid atmosphere within the team but also diverting everyone’s attention and focus towards Principal Hong, hitting three targets with one arrow.

However——

Dr. Luo smiled and said: ”By doing this, they are actually playing with fire. Letting everyone know about Old Hong’s presence and his deliberate interference is a double-edged sword. Although it temporarily dissolves internal conflicts, it also easily causes vigilance to decrease.”

Principal Hong remained silent, but the smile on his face clearly agreed with Dr. Luo’s words.

Dr. Luo paused for a moment, then smiled and said: ”Knowing Old Hong will deliberately create troubles for them, stirring up a bunch of situations, they will have a sense of crisis, will be vigilant, but at the same time, it lets them know that you and I are their moat. In the event of a real crisis, they’ll subconsciously rely on you, believing you will step in to help, meaning they’ll never truly feel a crisis. What’s the point of such a test?”

Dr. Luo posed a rhetorical question, then smiled and continued: ”Everything they are doing now seems urgent, intense, and full of crisis, but with us around, it’s like kids playing house, all the same.”

Principal Hong said, ”Indeed, no meaning.”

However.

Principal Hong laughed and said: ”Kids, just need to scare them a bit more.”

...

After Ji You reminded Yue Qiguang, she turned to focus on the navigation chart, pondering the sudden asteroid that appeared earlier, wondering from which direction it came and by what means it managed to escape the spaceship’s surveillance?

...

There were many, many questions Ji You needed to figure out one by one, and since Ji You didn’t want to interfere too much with Yue Qiguang’s decision-making, Yue Qiguang needed to truly grow. Therefore, every trial was extremely important to Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiguang stared at the monitor, where movements within a radius of 5 light-years around the spaceship could be clearly seen. Along the way, whether it’s space debris, meteor fragments, or various materials produced by planetary explosions, everything was under the spaceship’s close surveillance. The earlier asteroid hit could have been avoided, but because Yue Qiguang and the other 9 team members were slightly distracted, it ended up being a direct hit.

Learn from mistakes to gain wisdom.

Yue Qiguang pulled himself together, not daring to relax for a second, keeping a close eye on the monitor.

minute.

minutes.

minutes.

...

As time passed, everyone’s spiritual power was not as focused as before. Lou kept watching the gun turret’s monitoring outlet, ready to fire at the first sign of abnormality, but even someone as tough as Lou began to nod off.

So——

Lou yawned, which affected Lance, causing Lance to yawn as well.

In the instant they were dazed, suddenly, a massive roar exploded in everyone’s ears, startling everyone and filling their faces with confusion and bewilderment. Looking at each other, they realized no one understood what happened.

But it was only a moment before everyone’s face went wide-eyed:

”What happened?”

”Damn!”

”The spaceship got hit again?”

...

Yue Qiguang was sweating profusely, and his not-so-great temper showed itself at this moment, ”Damn! Enough is enough! Even if you’re testing us, there should be a limit. Do you think our time is not valuable?” The words were already implying Principal Hong and Dr. Luo.

But!

Principal Hong and Dr. Luo did not speak up.

Yue Qiguang furrowed his brows tightly: ”Spaceship, quickly activate backup energy, activate the protective system, activate the repair function...”

Even after issuing several commands in a row, Yue Qiguang’s brows were still furrowed tightly.

Suddenly——

A tiny cracking sound clearly reached Yue Qiguang’s ears, and his eyebrows furrowed as tightly as if trying to crush a fly: ”Activate spaceship repair!!!”

The spaceship’s operating system was soundless, as if it had shut down.

Yue Qiguang quickly looked around and hurriedly turned to other places, realizing that this time the spaceship’s impact point was even larger than the previous one, and it was exactly in the previous location. This was clearly intentional.

Yue Qiguang addressed everyone: ”For everyone’s safety, stay alert. There was a little accident with the spaceship, it probably knocked against something during the impact.”

Shen Changqing’s mouth opened slightly, saying: ”It’s a Star Beast, estimated to be Level 8-10. For specific level, it’s impossible to obtain detailed data at the moment; further observation is needed.”

Level 8-10?

This number was not a pretty one; Level 8 was manageable; at least with everyone working together, if they couldn’t beat a Level 8, they could still run, right?

But what if it was Level 10?

Simply terrifying——

This assumption truly sent chills down their spines.

Then——

It got closer.

The observed data became more accurate, Ji You with mouth agape, looking constipated: ”Level 10!”

Everyone was stunned.

Ji You gritted her teeth: ”It’s a Level 10 Star Beast.”

Whoa——

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone’s scalp tightened, and they wanted to say perhaps they hadn’t checked the almanac before heading out?

Yue Qiguang’s mouth opened: ”...Damn! Is my luck just that bad?”

”Fight or not?” Lou asked.

”Fight or not?” Lance also asked, everyone waiting for Yue Qiguang’s answer, with beads of sweat dripping down Yue Qiguang’s forehead then, clenching his jaw and with determination said: ”Fight!”

”Fight?” Everyone was stunned.

Yue Qiguang gritted his teeth: ”Fight... fight for nothing! I wasn’t finished talking, why are you all in such a hurry?”

Lou said: ”Then give us some direction. What exactly should we do?”

Then——

Yue Qiguang turned to Ji You and asked: ”Ji You, what do you think? Should we try to fight it? It must be very valuable and worth a fortune.”

Ji You replied speechlessly: ”Fight for nothing, isn’t it obvious? Can you beat it?”

Yue Qiguang: ”Run!”
