The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1498: Returned in Disgrace

Gu Yao listened to the Long-legged Sister proclaim confidently that she was a fan of the Green Glaze Master, causing her to seriously doubt for a moment. But Ji You seemed completely unaware of what was happening inside Gu Yao’s mind. After Ji You said this, she stood in front of Gu Yao like a Gate God, blocking all the pushing and shoving ahead.

Moreover, she had no intention of leaving, instead remaining planted there, silently listening to the surrounding people criticize the Green Glaze Master. Occasionally, she would even chime in with a word or two.

Gu Yao: ”...”

A true fan?

Even fake fans were more professional than her.

Gu Yao thought for a bit and asked quietly: ”Sister, you’re here to find a bargain, right?”

Ji You raised an eyebrow: ”A bargain?”

Gu Yao felt a bit embarrassed and said, ”Honestly, I came here looking for a bargain too, but it seems I didn’t find any and ended up spending 10 credit points.”

Afterwards.

Gu Yao enthusiastically shared with the Long-legged Sister how her classmate bought a Soul Device from the Green Glaze Master, not only upgraded her spiritual power but also resold it for a large profit, and then said regretfully: ”I thought this time I caught a bargain, but it turned out I didn’t.”

However, she wasn’t too disappointed. Anything produced by the Green Glaze Master surely has its uses and won’t just induce sleep.

Indeed.

The crowd of netizens gathered around the shop concluded after all the criticism, arguments, and denunciations regarding the painting’s effects—

This thing induces sleep!

Moreover, it works quickly. Most users fall asleep in 1 to 2 seconds, lasting up to 5 or 6 seconds, and some even less than half a second. It’s practically akin to being possessed by a Sleep God.

Around the shop, people gathered, still complaining, showing no signs of stopping until the Green Glaze Master made an appearance.

”I researched the material of this painting’s frame and found it’s just Black Gold Companion Stone. Is the Green Glaze Master short on cash now? If so, just say so! Ask everyone to donate 1 credit point each, and we could gather billions for the Master without resorting to deceit.”

”Ah! So it really is Black Gold Companion Stone! This stuff is only good for throwing away as scrap or using to embellish fake mountains or lay flooring or something.”

”The Green Glaze Master must come out and give everyone an explanation.”

”Exactly, come out and explain. Why not come out and dispel rumors?”

”Where are those sales clerks? They’re hiding like turtles, afraid to come out and explain, which must mean you’re in the wrong, right?”

”Qingyou, I’ve been a fan for half a year, but today I declare I’m not anymore.”

”I won’t ever come to your shop again, even if you beg me, I’m not coming.”

Ji You listened for a while, but the people kept repeating the same two sentences over and over, with nothing new, which made her ears and scalp feel like growing cocoons, no point in staying. Ji You turned around to leave, and Gu Yao saw her moving away and couldn’t help asking: ”Sister, are you leaving?”

Ji You replied: ”Yes.”

Gu Yao hesitated, wanting to leave but afraid the Green Glaze Master might appear suddenly. After thinking it over, she made up her mind and said: ”I’m leaving too, I... I need to hurry to do my laboring work.”

Ji You suddenly halted and said: ”If you have the means, try buying several times more.”

Gu Yao was puzzled: ”Buy what?”

Ji You replied: ”The Green Glaze Master’s new products.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao suddenly lowered her head and said softly: ”...I... I sleep very well.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You said: ”I just think that buying such cheap things is gaining after all. With money, buy several times. Consider it supporting the Green Glaze Master’s work. Ahem...”

Under Gu Yao’s gaze, Ji You coughed lightly and said: ”After all, I am her fan. I must support her.” Saying this, Ji You even bought 10 tickets in front of Gu Yao directly.

Gu Yao felt a bit dizzy!

This sister was just angrily criticizing the Green Glaze Master earlier, more fierce than others, unlike a fan at all, yet now she seemed somewhat like one.

A confused Gu Yao quickly checked the Qingyou Shop’s shelves and found things were still being sold normally, but the selling speed was much slower than yesterday. Clearly, many people were skeptical about its effectiveness, so this viewing ticket wasn’t sold out yet.

Considering for a while, Gu Yao also gritted her teeth and bought a ticket, saying: ”I... I bought one too.”

Ji You laughed at once and said: ”The Green Glaze Master would be very happy knowing she has fans like us.”

”Ahem...” Gu Yao embarrassedly explained: ”I’m really not a fan of the Green Glaze Master.”

Ji You: ”...”

The joy of successfully selling a ticket was instantly washed away upon hearing this, and listening to the surrounding criticism, Ji You’s mood was indeed unhappy.

With that, Ji You simply went offline. As for others wanting her to come out and explain? To explain is impossible, not in this lifetime. Just one line—

Let the willing be fooled.

Ahem...

Early in the morning, Ji You eagerly logged into Star Network, wanting to see the online shop’s feedback, but the result diverged greatly from her expectations, instantly quelling her desire to monitor sales.

Before logging off, Ji You couldn’t resist opening the backend to check the latest sales, and seeing the result, her mouth twitched: ”???”

What’s going on?

Why did the sales suddenly decrease?

When she first logged on, she deliberately checked and clearly remembered the sales volume of this Array Diagram Viewing Ticket to be 5.36 billion, so why did it drop to 3.37 billion in such a short time?

What’s the reason?

Ji You stopped to figure out the reason, which took a few seconds. She quickly understood—it was due to returns.

Indeed.

She!!!

The universe-famous Soul Artifact Master—Qingyou, expended energy to create the Array Diagram, but customers ended up returning it!

Star Network Shopping has a rule that if customers don’t like the product they bought, as long as it remains intact and doesn’t affect secondary sales, they can directly apply for a return.

Since Ji You’s item isn’t a physical product, just a viewing ticket, buyers haven’t used it, so they can apply for a refund, which can be processed successfully in less than a second.

So—

Due to countless customers protesting around the shop, some who had just bought but hadn’t used the product yet hesitated and chose to refund, thus, within less than 30 minutes, items from the Green Glaze Master were refunded 2 billion!

Watching the backend data still fluctuating wildly, with some buying yet evidently more refunding, Ji You’s smile froze on her face.
