The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Seizing Power

The atmosphere in the temporary base was a bit heavy due to Ji You’s sudden antics. Especially He Yu, who was the main target of Ji You’s attack, was completely dumbfounded and couldn’t recover for a while.

What... what just happened?

Her spiritual power, which she was so proud of, got thoroughly beaten?

He Yu’s lips moved slightly, trying to say something, but noticing the solemn expressions on others’ faces, she found herself at a loss for words.

Should she say she was weak?

Admit to being beaten up?

Thinking about how she and her two friends had acted so arrogant earlier, He Yu’s face blushed. To Ji You, they must have seemed like idiots.

He Yu shut her mouth, feeling miserable inside.

Liu Jia and Wang Xin weren’t feeling great either. Anyone who had just been outdone without any chance of fighting back wouldn’t feel happy. As Liu Jia had been directly struck by Ji You and his neck still hurt, his face looked even uglier. He glared at Ji You, angrily saying, ”You’re attacking teammates?”

Ji You retorted, ”Are you teammates?”

Liu Jia was taken aback.

Ji You coldly said, ”People who don’t know how to cooperate or collaborate, who are cocky and lack team spirit, are not teammates. They’re enemies.”

Liu Jia: ”...”

Liu Jia was at a loss for words.

He and Wang Xin, along with He Yu, had come over together, and after seeing the situation at the temporary base with their other two teammates, they did feel a lack of cooperation...

Now, their thoughts had been directly pointed out by Ji You.

He Yu and Wang Xin also felt their faces tingling hot.

Ji You lifted her chin, stood on tiptoe, and looked down at the three of them, saying, ”If you’re not convinced, I’ll deal with you right now.”

The three of them: ”...”

Ji You: ”Convinced or not?”

The atmosphere was so serious, and the situation so severe, that even a slight misstep could lead to elimination. But as He Yu, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin looked at Ji You standing on tiptoe trying to look down on them, they felt a bit like laughing.

Ji You frowned slightly: ”Answer.”

After saying this, the three of them felt their Spiritual Worlds as if engulfed by layer upon layer of surging waves, with nowhere to hide or escape, and a shivering sensation rose from their bodies to their souls!

What!

How is this possible?

This overwhelming deterrence was more terrifying than their mentor.

Unable to move.

The three of them widened their eyes, finding it hard to breathe.

As the class leader, Cheng Haoyue was completely dumbfounded!

This!

This girl with number 4444, who was ranked at the bottom in the tests, what kind of creature is she?

How... how terrifying?

Although he didn’t directly face Ji You’s terrifying spiritual pressure, standing nearby, Cheng Haoyue also felt the aftershock. Even just a trace of the aftershock made him feel dry-mouthed and hard to breathe...

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ji You’s imposing manner not only didn’t wane over time but became even more oppressive.

Couldn’t withstand.

He Yu, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin could only say, ”Convinced.”

Ji You said, ”Too quiet.”

The three: ”...”

About to be done in by you, this sound is still made through gritted teeth, how much louder do you want?

Despite their complaints, the three of them still, in unison, raised their voices, saying, ”Convinced.”

Hearing this, Ji You smiled.

Immediately after.

Ji You withdrew her Spiritual Network.

In an instant, He Yu, Liu Jia, Wang Xin, and even Cheng Haoyue felt an exceptionally clear burst of air flood into their lungs, as if they came back alive, feeling relieved from body to soul.

At this point, as they looked at Ji You, the contempt disappeared from their eyes, replaced by deep apprehension: This person is terrifying. If she wanted to, wiping out the four of them would be no problem at all.

What to do?

He Yu, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin involuntarily turned to Cheng Haoyue, who was the class leader and the person in charge of this temporary base.

Cheng Haoyue frowned deeply.

The next second.

Ji You suddenly leaned close to Cheng Haoyue, loudly saying, ”Reporting to the class leader, the disobedient teammates *3 have been cleared! Any further instructions? Please give orders immediately.”

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”

Cheng Haoyue tried hard to purse his lips to appear calm, but his slightly pale face and slightly heavy breathing showed anything but calm.

So—

This number 4444, a girl named Ji You, wasn’t really trying to seize power?

She... really just wanted to teach the disobedient teammates a lesson?

Cheng Haoyue kept a stern face and said, ”Well done.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You’s eyes lit up.

That expression clearly appeared genuinely happy to be praised. But... isn’t this scary?

Simply—

Her heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, completely unpredictable.

As a leader, being unable to understand a subordinate’s mind isn’t a pleasant thing. However, this subordinate isn’t sweetly innocent but someone who might explode at any moment.

Cheng Haoyue, suppressing the turmoil inside, tried to remain calm, saying, ”I have no further instructions for now. You can step aside and let me have some quiet.”

Who knew.

Ji You stood there without moving.

Cheng Haoyue: ”???”

Ji You earnestly said, ”Class leader, your mentality seems a bit shaken. Maybe you should rest, and I’ll temporarily act as class leader?”

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”

On hearing this, Cheng Haoyue wasn’t even surprised but instead wore an expression that said he was expecting it, responding, ”You want to be class leader?”

Ji You quickly shook her head, waving her hands, saying, ”No no no... no such intention, you’re the class leader, you’re Seventh Team’s class leader, you always will be.”

Cheng Haoyue’s mouth twitched, this person was indeed sly: ”You want to be Regent King?”

Upon hearing this, Ji You asked, ”Are you the King?”

Cheng Haoyue was slightly uncomfortable, then heard Ji You say, ”Class leader, I think some dreams can be pursued, but some shouldn’t be. You should have a clearer understanding of yourself.”

Cheng Haoyue, annoyed, said, ”So what do you want to do? Just say it.”

Ji You grinned, chuckling, saying, ”Nothing much, just that you need to listen to my suggestions and execute my decisions, okay?”

Oh dear!

Isn’t this straight-up stealing the class leader position?

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Cheng Haoyue saw Ji You grin while blushing slightly, saying, ”No no no... you are the class leader, you will always be the class leader.”

Hearing this, He Yu and the others couldn’t help but look at Cheng Haoyue with sympathy, as Cheng Haoyue raised his hand, gently gripping his crossbow...

Then—

Ji You’s face turned serious, saying, ”Be obedient, and you’ll be a living class leader. Disobey, and you’ll be a dead class leader.”

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”

Cheng Haoyue’s hand holding the crossbow nearly cramped.
