The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1487: Chapter 1487: Subtle Influence

”Hideous~”

”Creepy~”

”Terrifying~”

...

More and more people were staring at Ji You, but she didn’t care. After all, she’s just that outstanding and is always the center of attention wherever she goes.

But!

What’s with all this?

Can’t they say something clean? Do they really want to force her to hit someone?

Ji You was still running, the closer she got to her dorm, the more people there were.

Then.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ji You said, ”Name your teacher, those without a name may not die under my sword.”

The scene instantly fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Seeing the quiet, Ji You continued to lift her feet, intending to proceed. Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, ”Our teacher replied, saying she won’t change her name or surname—she is Mu Jianling.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You nearly choked.

Then.

Without blushing or panting, Ji You resumed running.

Running in the dormitory area is her specialty, she’s best at running. If she added a pair of big shorts and a tank top, she would run even faster, with more rhythm.

Ahem...

Of course, these thoughts only flashed in Ji You’s mind momentarily, then she said nothing, tucked her head, ran quietly, and soon reached the self-funded student dormitory building. From behind came the jeering voices of the students watching—

”Ji You, are you chickening out?”

”Ji You, fight back!”

”Ji You, what kind of champion are you? If you’re a champion, you should strike back!”

...

Ji You thought to herself that she wouldn’t bother with this group of fools and big talkers. Then she lifted her foot without hesitation, entered the dormitory door, and got on the elevator, accompanied by the students’ chattering sounds—

”The tour is over, everyone stop bothering her, let her rest.”

”She looks lively, with not a single problem.”

”Let’s go, let’s go.”

”Right, you second-year Combat Department students, don’t forget to encourage her to fix her face. Facing such a face is really hideous and very funny; it’s hard to admire her.”

...

Ji You stood in the elevator, gazing quietly at the crowd outside before the door closed. There were Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Zhong Qing, Ren An, Yu Yi, Liu Beibei...

These people, complaining with their mouths, but still quite concerned in their hearts about her.

Really—

A group of tsundere.

...

The elevator doors closed.

Ji You reached her dorm floor, then entered the room, passed out as soon as she hit the bed.

The voyage was over, with no potential danger lurking, nor pressure, Ji You slept deeply, with no dreams all night. The alarm went off right on time, and Ji You sprang up, quickly washed, got dressed, and ran to the third-year dormitory area to wait for Senior Shi Ya, only to be informed by another senior that Senior Shi Ya had departed at dawn.

Ji You was silent for a moment.

Then.

Ji You checked her message interface, discovering that Sister Lingzhi, Brother Qiong, Sister Liya, and scumbag He Bi hadn’t replied.

Ah!

These people are really something, the champion destined to stand on the Peak of the Universe is back, yet no one came to welcome her.

As the sky began to dawn, not yet time for class, Ji You started to run around the dorm area, finding many people were running, all wearing big shorts and black tank tops. Suddenly, Ji You thought she had crossed into another world.

This—

Is this a collective run to the construction site to move bricks?

A large swarm of tank tops, seeing Ji You, swept away the excitement from yesterday’s curiosity, not even acknowledging her, everyone kept their eyes forward, focusing on running. Ji You joined them, and no one reacted.

After running a while, suddenly a few figures appeared beside her, it was Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing...

Also Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Yu Yi, Ren An...

Ji You was slightly curious: ”Why is everyone running?”

Zhang Ye replied: ”Since you all went to compete, we’ve been getting up early to run in the Combat Department.”

Ji You asked: ”Forced by Teacher Mu?”

Zhang Ye replied: ”Voluntarily.”

Afraid Ji You wouldn’t believe, Zhang Ye emphasized: ”Really, no one in our second-year Combat Department is being forced.”

Ji You believed.

But!

Ji You pointed to the other runners nearby, asking: ”These first-year, third-year, and fourth-year students running, what’s the deal?”

Zhang Ye replied: ”This is beyond my knowledge, I don’t know either.”

Ji You kept running, turned to look at Xuzhou beside her.

Xuzhou kept his eyes forward, but Ji You’s presence was too strong to ignore, Xuzhou pursed his lips and said: ”It’s all self-motivated. Not only the Combat Department, but the Material Department, Mechanical Department, Mechanical Manufacturing Department... are all running.”

”?!?!?” Ji You tilted her head: ”So, is everyone at school out of their minds?”

Zhang Ye glared at her: ”Keep it down or someone might knock your head off.”

Ji You touched her chin: ”Ahem!”

Xuzhou whispered: ”Because everyone is getting nervous. Not just the students, all the teachers at school have been in a state of readiness lately.”

”Is it that serious?” Ji You furrowed her eyebrows.

But, thinking of the various issues faced during the voyage, she felt some worry. Perhaps as Senior Shi Ya said, maybe next year, maybe just months away, maybe even tomorrow...

Xuzhou shook his head: ”I don’t know.”

The atmosphere gradually grew silent.

Everyone continued to run. After circling several large laps, Ji You and the others finally stopped, washed, and then entered the cafeteria for breakfast.

After breakfast, they went to their classes.

Combat Department.

Students sat at their desks, listening to Mu Jianling speak. Mu Jianling didn’t waste words, but instead had a few students summarize what happened during the 10-student competition that Ji You joined, along with other solutions, and scored each student’s performance.

After these students finished grading, the 10 participants were asked to summarize and grade themselves.

Chu Jiaojiao gave herself 8 points.

Shen Changqing also gave himself 8 points.

Yue Qiguang gave himself 7 points, he thought his score wasn’t high mainly due to bad luck, otherwise he could achieve better results.

Liu Fufeng graded himself, he seemed very modest and humble, only giving himself 5 points, saying: ”Mostly luck, personal effort doesn’t count much.”

This comment, inexplicably, made Yue Qiguang feel targeted, so he glared coldy at Liu Fufeng.

Yu Song, Lou, Lance, gave themselves scores not too high, feeling they need to enhance their strength...

Yue Qiyuan graded himself 8.5 points, reason? His reason was that he had to score higher than his brother.

Then, Sheng Qingyan took the stage; he stood carelessly, lazily scanning everyone, saying: ”I’m so cute though, taking 10 points is no problem~”

Everyone: ”...”

Everyone didn’t bother with him, turning to Ji You.

Ji You said: ”I think I can score myself 9.99 points, taking away 1 point for fear of arrogance.”

Everyone: ”...”
