The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1475: Homeward Bound

Because Ji You and others were not wearing school uniforms, no one was in combat suits, and although it was known that they were Military Academy students, A Ke and others never knew which school this group of students belonged to.

When they suddenly heard it, they really didn’t react for a moment.

A Ke widened his eyes: ”No... really?”

”A second-rate school!”

”Second-rate... Second-rate?”

”Second-rate!”

Liu Ming, Uncle Liang, and others all opened their mouths wide, momentarily at a loss for words.

”If First Army is a second-rate school, then... what school is considered first-rate?”

”Second Army?”

”Second Army is far worse than First Army.”

”Third Army, neither Second Army nor Third Army can compare.”

”So, which school is it?”

Not only A Ke was curious, but everyone else was even more curious.

”Under Lanyue Star, all are second-rate.” Principal Hong’s voice rose slightly: ”Anyone disagree?”

A Ke and others: ”!!!”

So bold!

But—

So dominating!

A Ke suddenly opened his mouth wide: ”It’s... it’s Lanyue Star Military Academy.”

The university he wanted to apply to.

Ahem...

A Ke’s first choice is Lanyue Star, not First Army, not because he preferred Lanyue Star more, but because First Army’s admission score is higher than Lanyue Star, which is the lowest among the Top Ten Universities.

So, A Ke decided to choose Lanyue Star Military Academy.

Now—

A Ke’s lips trembled a few times, not knowing what to say.

Liu Ming, Uncle Liang, and others also didn’t know what to say.

Too strong.

Principal Hong had only shown a little of his skill, making people have no doubt about his strength.

Besides, these students were also extraordinary.

Convinced?

Convinced.

A Ke was about to speak, when next to him Sister Ji You suddenly muttered: ”Besides, boasting is also a fine tradition of our school.”

A Ke was stunned again.

Pa!

A shooting green onion struck Ji You’s lips again.

Ji You quickly shut her mouth.

Principal Hong turned to A Ke, smiling broadly: ”Young man, have you filled out your university application?”

A Ke was very nervous, quickly shook his head, then nodded.

Principal Hong made his expression seem kind, asking: ”What did you fill in?”

A Ke opened his mouth and said: ”Lan... Lanyue Star Military...”

Upon hearing this, Principal Hong patted A Ke’s head, laughed: ”Good vision.”

”Keep it up, with hard work you’ll definitely succeed,” Principal Hong comforted him with a few words.

A Ke blushed.

Principal Hong continued drinking his porridge.

Because of this interruption from Principal Hong, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Ji You and the others, sipping porridge, also felt a bit embarrassed, especially when facing A Ke, Liu Ming, Uncle Liang, and others with their enthusiastic gaze, Ji You couldn’t help but wish she had stolen the spotlight instead.

Ahem...

The spotlight was stolen by the principal, but the awkward aftermath and patching up fell to Ji You and the others.

A Ke, Granny Chen, Uncle Liang, and some others with children at home took the opportunity to bombard Ji You and the others with questions about the school.

A pot of porridge was finished, even the first batch of washed pot water, a few people couldn’t help but secretly drink it.

This is natural food, having a meal like this is not easy.

A Ke licked the bottom of his bowl, Ji You saw, inexplicably felt heartache, recalling the first time she ate natural food here, it was exactly the same.

A Ke noticed Ji You watching him, slightly embarrassed: ”Sister, I... I think it’s delicious.”

Ji You smiled: ”It is delicious.”

After finishing, Ji You took out a handful of beef jerky from her Space Button, stuffed it into A Ke’s hand, and said: ”Keep it and eat it slowly. This world has so many types of delicious food that even changing one a day, you couldn’t finish in a hundred years.”

Ji You patted A Ke’s shoulder, encouraged: ”Keep it up, with hard work, there’s nothing you can’t enjoy.”

”Yes.” A Ke clenched his fist firmly: ”Sister, I will try my best! I will work hard to get into Lanyue Star Military Academy, and strive to be peers with you and the brothers.”

After saying this, Chu Jiaojiao and the others also raised their hands, collectively ruffling A Ke’s head, encouraging: ”Keep it up, we’re waiting for you.”

...

The spaceship had been repaired and was ready to set off, but due to A Ke, Uncle Liang, and others, the spaceship did not launch immediately.

Ji You asked: ”Are you planning to catch a ride with us now, or go back on your own?”

In fact, there were supposed to be several trips of spaceships every day, but since yesterday, none had come.

According to A Ke, their spaceship stopped and would return to pick up people, but it didn’t come back.

This was a bit strange.

Will there be a spaceship today? It’s uncertain.

Upon hearing Ji You’s question, A Ke replied without hesitation: ”I’ll go back with Sister Ji You.”

Granny Chen also agreed.

Liu Ming was a bit hesitant. According to his plans, the whole No. 381 garbage planet should not have any other large beasts, and as long as they were careful, they could gain big rewards.

It wasn’t for greed, but simply that his family income was thin, and he had to take a shot.

Ji You said: ”We are not sure if there is absolutely no danger now, but overall, there should be no Star Beasts. And, we can’t guarantee that other spaceships will arrive soon.”

Hearing this, Liu Ming thought about it and couldn’t help but ask: ”I understand. May I... may I stay and try my luck?”

Ji You said: ”You can.”

Liu Ming heard this and was very happy.

Uncle Liang also wanted to try his luck.

Others the same.

Only A Ke, Granny Chen, and a few other young men and women chose to hitch a ride with Ji You and the others.

Seeing this, Ji You felt a twinge of sadness inside.

To toil one’s life, just to live.

Even though they had just experienced a life-and-death situation, they still chose to fight on.

This world, no one has it easy.

The time was still early, Principal Hong, calculating the time, thought they could stay at No. 381 for an afternoon, so Principal Hong said: ”We’ll set off tomorrow morning, everyone have a good rest tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You’s lips couldn’t help but slightly curl up.

Resting can be done on the spaceship too, Principal Hong said this openly to give Liu Ming, Uncle Liang, and others a night of safety.

Truly, cold on the outside, but not dark inside.

The students naturally had no objections.

Then.

All the original residents of No. 381, including A Ke, Granny Chen, seized the time to go gathering in the wild.

The wild was very quiet, apart from encountering a few Carrion Rats of negligible level, there was basically no danger.

Everyone returned fully loaded.

A night passed.

The next day.

When Ji You and others were driving the spaceship, ready to head to Yangjiao Star, the tardy spaceships finally arrived.

The pilot got off the spaceship, obviously shocked to see A Ke, Liu Ming and others, although he masked it well, the surprise quickly vanished.

Then.

The pilot explained that the reason he was late was due to a sudden encounter with a Cosmic Storm, which forced him to cease operations.

After this spaceship, the second and third ships quickly arrived.

Each spaceship was loaded with passengers.
