The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311: My Face Is Worth a Fortune

Regarding the personnel configuration and layout at the Commander Camp, Ji You actually knows very well. How should I put it? Commander Gu Peiyuan considered how to guard against enemies but did not consider guarding against his own people, or in other words, he is very confident, believing that within the territory he controls, there would absolutely be no situation he can’t manage.

Therefore, when Ji You dispatched several teammates to represent himself in expressing the intention to cooperate with Gu Peiyuan, these negotiating students, according to Ji You’s instructions, had already learned the situation around Gu Peiyuan’s camp.

It’s the same thing, Gu Peiyuan considered guarding against enemies, but when facing his own people, or aside from himself, all the contestants from the entire Camp 5 are his subordinates, his soldiers...

His people, his soldiers, how could they possibly commit monumental offenses on his turf?

Absolutely impossible.

So—

The representatives sent by Ji You, although they were looked down upon by Gu Peiyuan, managed to smoothly gather all the defense arrangements along Gu Peiyuan’s path.

A total of 10 checkpoints, each checkpoint having 2 students stationed there.

In addition, there was a strike team, a heavy weapon team, a...

The task Ji You arranged for himself, Cheng Haoyue, and He Nu was to knock out the 10 checkpoints along the way. Of course, the task of knocking out the checkpoint guards was assigned to Ji You himself. As for Cheng Haoyue and He Nu?

Ahem...

Their task was simply to transport the ’corpses’.

Ji You moved quickly, letting the cold wind slice like a knife across his cheeks, drawing deep lines of blood on them...

Very quickly.

The second checkpoint was already in front of him, Ji You diligently tidied his clothes and flicked the dust and sand off before stepping towards the checkpoint. The two students guarding the checkpoint were very alert, raising their weapons into a defensive stance when they heard the faint sound of footsteps.

Then, the two saw this pitch-black shadow swaggering over, stopping at the checkpoint’s door, and very politely put out his hand to knock:

Knock, knock—

”Is anyone there?”

Both furrowed their brows and their hearts immediately jumped—

Approaching so calmly, this meant the person must be very confident, or at least, she must have some backing behind her.

The two students guarding did not speak but had already decided to press the alarm bell used to alert the neighboring checkpoint, when they heard the girl outside say: ”I’m Ji You, Ji You ranked 100th in the United University, a warrior of the Seventh Team of the Sixth Regiment of Camp 5. If anyone is inside, please respond quickly.”

”!!!”

The hand of one of the boys was about to press the bell stopped suddenly, and he asked, ”Are you really Ji You?”

Ji You replied, ”Absolutely authentic.”

The boy couldn’t help but quip, ”It’s pitch black right now; holding out a hand you can’t even see how many fingers there are. Even if you’re a fake Ji You, we won’t be able to tell.”

”Ahem...” The girl beside him was more careful and said, ”If she’s impersonating someone, we might not be able to tell for a while, but impersonating Ji You... ahem... there’s probably no one as short as Ji You in the whole arena, right?”

Speaking this, the girl said, ”She’s so short, she shouldn’t be impersonating.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You said with a heavy heart, ”It’s just a competition, no need for personal attacks, right?”

The girl felt a little awkward, peering at Ji You’s silhouette and rough outline through the surveillance opening; she had already confirmed Ji You’s true identity, but still felt a bit wary, asking, ”What are you here for?”

Ji You said, ”I have important intelligence that needs to be reported directly to the Commander.”

The boy and girl exchanged glances, then the boy asked, ”Given the temperature is dropping so quickly now, why would you run out here at this time? Also, did you come alone? Are there others with you?”

Shaking his head, Ji You sighed, ”I’m the only one, I run fast, and they couldn’t keep up.”

The boy: ”...”

Ji You’s tone suddenly became serious, ”The intelligence I have is of great importance, not a second can be delayed. Please let me pass immediately; I must notify the Commander promptly.”

The girl asked, ”What intelligence is it?”

Ji You closed his mouth, didn’t reply, but her gaze on the girl grew profound, and her aura suddenly became extremely serious and fierce, ”Without the Commander’s approval, I can’t tell you.”

The two students at the checkpoint heard this and exchanged a glance, deciding not to pursue further questioning.

Ji You said, ”Could you lend me your communication system to send a message to the other checkpoints, informing them not to obstruct me; I need to reach the Commander Camp immediately.”

The two hesitated...

Ji You suddenly pushed open the stone door of the checkpoint, stepped inside, pointed to his face, ”Look carefully at my face—I’m Ji You, Ji You ranked 100th in United University! Someday, this face of mine, my name, a single word, a single character from my mouth...will be worth thousands, even millions! Would I need to use this valuable face of mine to deceive you?”

Hearing this, the hesitancy in their eyes slowly dissipated.

Ji You said, ”I need a pass, quickly, immediately!”

The girl turned to take the communication bell, while the boy, standing quite close to Ji You, managed to see through the darkness the blood marks on Ji You’s face and exclaimed, ”Your face?”

Ji You, hearing this, casually wiped his cheek, ”It’s the wind, just a minor injury, doesn’t matter.”

Just looking at those blood marks felt like they were scraped by saw teeth; the boy felt the pain just watching, but Ji You maintained such composure, a sense of admiration rose in the boy’s heart. He kindly suggested, ”A girl’s face, you should take care of it. After the competition, you must get comprehensive repair and care for your face.”

Ji You’s corner lip twitched, thinking this little injury, why spend money? Regularly beaten into a pig face in the training room, never went for repairs and care, and look, isn’t the face still fine?

No repairs, absolutely won’t, no need to spend such futile money.

Ji You, Old Miser, thought in silence, yet on the surface, she assumed an extremely straight face and said to the boy, ”My face is naturally thick; these minor injuries will heal in a few days.”

The girl suddenly turned back, showing Ji You a smile, ”Done.”

Ji You’s mouth rose, revealing a bright smile, ”Everything’s notified already?”

The girl nodded, ”Yes! All notified, all confirmed received.”

Ji You inadvertently glanced at the communication bell and smiled brightly, gratitude shining through, ”Thank you! Really appreciate it!”

The girl smiled, ”Just a little help, not...” Friendly exchange.

”Ah!”
