The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1411: Chapter 1411: Discussion

When the doors at the exit of the competition closed, the surrounding students gradually dispersed. Simultaneously, those ’teammates’ around Shen Changqing also left.

Shen Changqing, who had been standing straight, finally relaxed his posture a bit.

Then.

Ji You raised her hand, patted Shen Changqing’s back, and with a face full of emotion, said, ”Little Stupid, we haven’t seen each other for such a short time, and you’ve grown up. I’m truly comforted.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Shen Changqing whispered, ”Ji You, aren’t you tired maintaining that posture to keep tapping my back on tiptoe?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You released her hand and firmly put her feet back on the ground, saying, ”Shen Changqing, you broke character, do you know that?”

”Ahem...” Shen Changqing cleared his throat and then, looking puzzled, said, ”Character? What character?”

Ji You straightforwardly said, ”Honest and loyal character, of course.”

Shen Changqing: ”Ahem ahem... I don’t know what that is.”

Ji You said, ”You now have the Niu Gulu character!”

Shen Changqing: ”Huh?”

He really didn’t understand, while Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, and others also turned their heads altogether, staring at Ji You. Ji You grinned and explained, ”It means Little Stupid is no longer the simple, clean, pure, honest, loyal Shen Changqing of the past. He’s now Niu Gulu’s Xiaoqing, becoming scheming, strategical, mentally strong, sharp, and capable.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Oh...”

Yue Qiguang frowned: ”What?”

Lou sincerely said, ”Except for being scheming, the rest of the words don’t seem that bad, do they?” Seemingly a bit unsure, Lou added, ”Right?”

”Ahem...” Ji You put on a serious face, saying, ”There’s nothing bad about it; it’s just, I kind of miss the simple, cute Little Stupid who would blush easily with a teasing or two.”

Yue Qiguang rolled his eyes and said, ”He still blushes easily now too.”

Shen Changqing blushed scarlet in an instant.

Ji You immediately looked at him with newfound respect: ”Where Shen Changqing excels is that everything he does appears so genuine and sincere, even blushing is so naturally unpretentious.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Ji You giggled and said, ”I’ve learned! I’ve learned! It turns out my acting still has plenty of room for improvement.”

Shen Changqing opened his mouth trying to speak, hesitated, and after a while mumbled, ”I’m not acting, really...” Ahem... even if I am, it’s just a little bit.

A little bit.

...

After that, everyone wiped away their unserious faces, and Ji You said, ”In the several camp matches that have concluded, Lou, Yu Song, and Lance were all eliminated. Yu Song and Lance are now at the repair center treating their injuries, estimated to take another three hours.”

Shen Changqing asked, ”Did everyone else advance?” He knew about Lance’s situation because Lance was on the opposing camp team to Shen Changqing.

Unfortunately...

Lance didn’t demonstrate enough advantage and talent in the competition and was eliminated. He... he didn’t even have much chance to go against Shen Changqing because he was knocked out by his own teammate’s accidental operation.

This extraordinarily bad luck is simply—

Seeing Lance’s misfortune, Lou and Yue Qiguang both felt a sense of balance. When Lou heard that Lance had left the venue and was at the repair center treating his injuries, he even called to visit Lance but was sternly refused.

Then, Lou, Ji You, and others, being worried, inquired further and found out that Lance wasn’t seriously injured physically. The reason he stayed at the repair center was to heal his emotional trauma.

That’s right.

Lance was in a temporary state of mental shutdown.

...

Lance was deeply upset about being eliminated in this manner and losing his chance to enter the Space Rift. What’s more, when he leaves the repair center, he will face the disappointment and regret of his teachers and companions... Lance was very troubled, his mind suddenly seemed to short-circuit, and he just couldn’t get past it...

After discussing with Lou and others, Ji You decided not to disturb Lance for the time being because some pain and setbacks need to be overcome by oneself.

Ji You answered Shen Changqing’s question, saying, ”Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan, and I have advanced.” After saying that, Ji You quickly added, ”And Student Fufeng also advanced.”

Shen Changqing was not surprised to hear all this, saying, ”Student Fufeng is very strong.”

Ji You said, ”Yes, he is very strong.”

Actually, Ji You didn’t dislike Liu Fufeng and didn’t hate him either. Furthermore, during the end-of-semester group task with Liu Fufeng, they encountered great danger. Liu Fufeng didn’t stand idly by; on the contrary, he went all out to assist everyone in escaping the peril. Although his way of helping was very subtle, Ji You knew that if it weren’t for Liu Fufeng, they wouldn’t have gotten away so easily.

Ji You was very grateful.

And very respectful of Liu Fufeng’s strength. In fact, Ji You felt that Liu Fufeng wasn’t a bad person. On the contrary, Ji You found Liu Fufeng very reliable.

Because Ji You’s Spiritual Silks didn’t fear Liu Fufeng at all, especially Fourth, who was usually very cautious; when Liu Fufeng appeared, it didn’t even shrink back in fear.

So far, the only terrifying creature that made Ji You’s Spiritual Silks quiver in fear, completely losing rationality and thought, was an unknown creature encountered once by chance in the starry sky.

Thinking of this, Ji You shivered for no reason.

Unthinkable.

Indescribable.

Unexplorable.

...

Yue Qiguang said, ”Now only two camp battles haven’t ended yet, one is Chu Jiaojiao’s Camp 1, and the other one where that fool Yue Qiyuan is in Camp 2.”

These two camp battles haven’t been very intense until now. This surprised the few from Lanyue Star, because with Chu Jiaojiao’s character, the style should definitely be open and aggressive, not this slow and steady approach.

On this, Ji You had a different understanding and said, ”Jiaojiao’s character is actually a bit rash. She has unparalleled combat talent, but during battles, she tends to trust her body’s responses more than decisions made after thinking. But she’s been constantly trying to improve her shortcomings, and this camp match is the whetstone she’s set for herself.”

Speaking of which, Ji You was very emotional and said, ”Jiaojiao has also grown a lot.”

Lou was a bit puzzled: ”Isn’t Jiaojiao afraid of failure?”

Ji You turned her head, looked at Lou, and said, ”Lou, there’s no need to worry too much. Just remember, once you’ve made a decision, don’t have second thoughts or doubts. Just go all out without caring about anything else.”

”What good is thinking so much? Does thinking so much prevent failure? Fools shouldn’t think, they shouldn’t even need to bring their brains.” Yue Qiguang also looked down on Lou about this. In his dictionary, Daddy Universe Strongest, who dares to question Daddy? Just fight! Whatever Daddy decides is the right thing, just do it. As for failure? Then fail, so what, can’t you keep trying next time?”

In short—

Yue Qiguang had this momentum of not turning back until he hit the end.

Lou opened his mouth.

”Ahem...” Ji You seeing Lou looking like he was being persuaded, hurriedly said, ”You should listen to Yue Qiguang selectively; he often forgets to bring his brain, which is why he gets beaten up, you know?”

Yue Qiguang angrily said, ”4444, do you want to die?”
