The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497: Master’s Fan

Surrounding Green Glaze Master’s store, people still crowded around, sealing off the surrounding streets entirely, and there were cries everywhere denouncing Green Glaze Master, with quite a few questioning Green Glaze Master for allegedly using his reputation to scam everyone’s money.

One person’s scam for 10 credit points, 100 people would be 1000, 10,000 people would be...

Looking around, it’s clearly not just 10,000, 100,000, or a million... people?

Clearly, many, many have been fooled.

Gu Yao couldn’t understand what was happening. She heard people denouncing Green Glaze Master, and while their arguments made sense, upon careful consideration, she still found something was off.

For instance, Green Glaze Master didn’t hold a knife to anyone’s throat demanding they buy, and also, the risk warnings were clearly stated: once sold, no refund or responsibility.

Ahem...

Gu Yao put on a serious face and said, ”Green Glaze Master provided a risk warning, everyone ignored it, so it’s not fair to blame Green Glaze Master.”

She was stubbornly trying to find excuses for Green Glaze Master.

Noises from afar continued, mostly questioning Green Glaze Master. Gu Yao wanted to squeeze in, wondering if what that person just said was true; maybe Green Glaze Master would appear?

Just as she stepped forward, she suddenly slipped, realizing her shoelace was stepped on and she nearly fell.

Gu Yao: ”...”

What’s going on today? Always someone stepping on her foot.

A hand reached out to hold Gu Yao steady, accompanied by a clear and gentle voice apologizing by her ear: ”Sorry, did you get hurt?”

The voice was pleasant to hear. Gu Yao looked up and met a face framed with red wavy curls, skin white and delicate, a slender waist, and long legs, looking incredibly heroic.

”No... no...” For some reason, those clear eyes like glass gazing at her made Gu Yao blush inexplicably. She shook her head quickly and hurried to reply: ”I didn’t get hurt.”

The person gently supported Gu Yao with their hand, eyes surveying the crowded people, saying: ”Too many people, don’t clump together, just stand behind to watch, stand firmly, don’t fall again.”

While speaking, the person casually stood in front of Gu Yao, using their solid, well-proportioned back to shield Gu Yao from the jostling ahead. Only then did Gu Yao realize this Long-legged Sister was really tall, almost a head taller, making her appear small and frail now.

Gu Yao’s Star Network avatar matched her real-life physique, so there was no difference. She didn’t doubt Long-legged Sister’s real appearance either, because with mature gene modification technology, humans typically range from 1.7 to 2.5 meters tall. At 18 years old, Gu Yao was 1.72 meters, slightly short due to consuming low-level nutrient liquid long term. But she could increase her height by earning money and supplementing her growth nutrients later on.

At that moment, an arm swung over from the side, nearly pushing Gu Yao to the ground again, but fortunately, Long-legged Sister held her steady.

The person casually said: ”Be careful, don’t get distracted in such a setting.”

Gu Yao, face flushed, nodded: ”Okay.”

This Long-legged Sister’s voice was nice, speaking so gently, and gently holding her hand until Gu Yao stood firmly, only then letting go.

Gu Yao felt touched, having been jostled several times here, but no one had silently stood in front of her, shielding her from various dangers before.

Although this Long-legged Sister seemed casual, without intent to protect, the unintentional gentleness made Gu Yao feel warm inside.

”Did you buy that picture?”

Hmm?

Gu Yao quickly looked up, responding to Long-legged Sister: ”Bought it.”

”Oh? Did you look at it?”

Gu Yao seriously replied: ”I did.”

Disguising herself thoroughly until even her parents wouldn’t recognize her, Ji You perked up at the girl’s answer, asking: ”Any changes?”

Facing Long-legged Sister’s suddenly bright eyes, Gu Yao slightly lowered her head embarrassedly: ”No... no changes.”

”Ah?”

”No changes.”

Gu Yao heard Long-legged Sister’s voice tinged with slight disappointment, couldn’t help explaining: ”Actually... maybe it’s because I’m a bit dense, I haven’t noticed any changes yet.”

Ji You touched her chin and said: ”That’s possible.”

The girl ahead seemed too soft and adorable, making Ji You ask again: ”Are you a fan of Green Glaze Master?”

”Ah?” This question surprised Gu Yao. Faced with Long-legged Sister’s suddenly bright eyes, she shook her head earnestly: ”I’m not.”

Ji You: ”...”

Awkward, caught off guard.

Ahem...

Ji You cleared her throat before changing the subject suddenly: ”You’re not her fan, that simplifies things. What she sells is indeed unprincipled, 10 credit points is unreasonably high, even 1 feels like too much; who would want to buy something like this just for a look, especially when it can’t be eaten or touched?”

The topic shifted too quickly, Gu Yao couldn’t keep up.

Long-legged Sister continued cursing: ”So many pretty women and handsome men outside, why waste money on this dim black thing you can barely see?”

Ahem...” Gu Yao listened, feeling awkward; she couldn’t help but explain: ”Not really, Green Glaze Master already reminded in the shopping notice that it can’t be eaten or used, only viewed once, but everyone was scrambling to buy, hardly anyone noticed the shopping reminder.”

Ultimately, it’s everyone’s lack of attention, not Green Glaze Master’s deliberate scamming.

Ji You looked slightly askance at the girl, saying: ”I understand, so you are a fan of Green Glaze Master, pretending not to be.”

Gu Yao’s cheeks flushed a little, explaining: ”No, I’m really not her fan, I’m just being honest.”

Ji You touched her chin, saying: ”Indeed, ignoring the shopping notice and hastily coming to scold proves the stupidity, doesn’t it?”

”Ahem...” Gu Yao reminded: ”Sister also cursed earlier.”

Ji You shook her head immediately, saying: ”No, absolutely not, I’m a fan of Green Glaze Master, how could I curse her? Besides, these people are truly foolish, not checking before buying, and not even reading the purchase notice afterwards; if they had eyes, they’d see Green Glaze Master’s words hide secrets — look, written clearly, in bold: all rights to interpret this product belong to Qingyou.”

Gu Yao: ”...”

Gu Yao experienced what instant change of face meant.

Ji You patted the girl’s shoulder, chuckling: ”Don’t give me such a surprised look, I really am a fan of Green Glaze Master, a true fan!”
