The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506: Little Quirks

After two hours of labor, Gu Yao checked her credit points, and she unexpectedly earned 3 more credit points than usual...

She thought about yesterday, and she also earned a few extra credit points yesterday.

So?

It wasn’t an illusion; her spiritual power seemed to have improved. Doing hard labor was not only easier than before but also more profitable than before.

Gu Yao stared blankly at the 3 extra credit points in her account, feeling her heart pounding in her chest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, she was dazed, then Gu Yao’s eyes lit up as she focused on the 5 new tickets she bought today!

What was that dark, indistinct image after all?

Clenching her fists, Gu Yao hesitated for a few seconds before using her viewing rights for the second time. This time, she focused more intently on the scene before her, yet what she saw was still pitch black. The deep, inky black world was too quiet and too desolate, making Gu Yao briefly feel as if she were in a motionless different space. Her field of vision was indeed wide, but there was nothing, only black...

Her head started to throb subtly.

Gu Yao held her breath, trying to hang on a little longer.

However.

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~

A buzzing sound began in her head, and her entire spiritual world felt extremely uncomfortable. Gu Yao couldn’t hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Crack~

Did her chin hit the table leg?

Oh no, don’t let her jaw dislocate?

Before fainting, Gu Yao vaguely sensed the scene after she collapsed, regretting for a moment that she didn’t strictly follow the usage instructions given by the Green Glaze Master—must use it in a safe and comfortable environment.

Gu Yao passed out, luckily it was nighttime and she was at home, so there was no worry about safety.

On the other side.

Nami Star.

The Alliance First Military Academy, next to a public toilet.

Wei Xiaoxiong, Wu Jingyue, and Li Jiu... were awakened by a sanitation robot call from the school’s maintenance department. They looked up, glanced at their surroundings, and felt a bit dizzy for a moment.

Li Jiu exclaimed, ”What the hell! Why am I lying in the sink of a toilet?” What’s more disgusting is that the sink has a few dirty mops in it.

The robot’s cold electronic voice said, ”That’s what I want to ask you all. Students, if you wish to swim, I suggest you head for the swimming pool. Also, swimming in such a narrow place as a toilet sink is strictly prohibited. Please cherish your body and maintain the school’s image.”

Li Jiu: ”...”

After being reprimanded head-on by the robot, Li Jiu felt even dizzier. He turned and looked at the equally dizzy Wei Xiaoxiong and Wu Jingyue.

Wei Xiaoxiong’s expression was dreadful because his condition was worse than Li Jiu’s; he had landed headfirst in a trash can and nearly got recycled as trash. If the garbage collection system hadn’t detected something unusual and paused the disintegration feature, today would likely have been his death anniversary.

Wei Xiaoxiong wore a sullen face.

Wu Jingyue was also silent.

Overhead, the robot’s reprimand continued, nearly shaming the group into the ground before it finally stopped, saying, ”I will report your peculiar habits to your mentor.”

Wei Xiaoxiong, Wu Jingyue, Li Jiu, etc.: ”...”

Once the robot left, everyone sighed with relief, though their faces still showed concern. If Mentor Niu Houdao found out, the punishment of cleaning might have to be doubled.

Wu Jingyue rubbed his forehead, saying, ”Before we fainted, it seemed like we had viewed a painting, right?”

Li Jiu gritted his teeth and said, ”That was the painting causing trouble! What exactly is that thing? Why did it go dark, and we suddenly fainted?”

He considered himself strong, definitely not weak, so? A look of fear flashed in Li Jiu’s eyes: ”Could this be a new type of spiritual attack weapon? But this! This—” He was too frightened to articulate: ”This... This is too terrifying. What kind of spiritual attack weapon can, through the Star Network, across vast distances and numerous star systems, directly attack the purchaser themselves?”

Li Jiu tried to continue, but Wei Xiaoxiong suddenly shouted, ”Shut up.”

Li Jiu’s expression changed. They were all classmates, no one loftier than another, and Li Jiu believed his abilities were no weaker than Wei Xiaoxiong’s. It was just that Wei Xiaoxiong’s family was more prestigious, making him an unofficial leader of the group. In reality, Li Jiu wasn’t convinced by Wei Xiaoxiong; being implicated by him and almost expelled already disgruntled him, and now Wei Xiaoxiong was publicly humiliating him...

Seeing Li Jiu’s displeasure, Wu Jingyue said, ”Jiu, listen to what Xiaoxiong has to say.”

Wei Xiaoxiong maintained a stern face. He was well aware of Li Jiu’s discontent but thought it unnecessary to care; after all, who would care why a fool is upset?

Wei Xiaoxiong said flatly, ”It’s understandable that your Li family, being a small household, doesn’t know about array diagrams. It’s not a spiritual attack weapon; it’s an array diagram.”

Wu Jingyue: ”What?!!!”

Li Jiu was shocked too, momentarily putting Wei Xiaoxiong’s sarcasm aside: ”You mean, it’s the critical array diagram for successful soul artifact manufacturing?”

Wei Xiaoxiong glanced at him and said flatly, ”Yes, it is an array diagram.”

Li Jiu gasped, ”Oh my god!” What a fool he had been just now. No wonder Wei Xiaoxiong mocked him; he had mistaken an array diagram for a terrifying spiritual weapon. Cough... Spiritual weapons only exist in fantasy novels; whether they exist in reality is unclear, yet he spoke about it as if it were a serious threat—truly and utterly foolish.

Thus, Li Jiu lowered his head, patiently listening.

Wei Xiaoxiong noticed Li Jiu’s change in attitude and said, ”I’ve seen array diagrams a few times before, similar to this situation, but I’ve never seen one that can face so many people.”

As one of the Wei family’s potential heirs, Wei Xiaoxiong had access to the richest resources among all his peers. When he was six, the family hired a Soul Artifact Master to test whether he had the talent for soul artifact manufacturing, so he saw several array diagrams and even watched a Soul Artifact Master personally draw one. Yet, his spiritual power couldn’t withstand the pressure from the array diagram, and each viewing damaged his spiritual power.

Later, the family didn’t dare to arrange more tests, so they stopped, and Wei Xiaoxiong never saw another array diagram since.

Years later, when Wei Xiaoxiong unrolled the painting, he immediately recognized it as an array diagram!

How could that be?

The moment it happened, this was the only question Wei Xiaoxiong had before he fainted.

After speaking with Li Jiu, Wu Jingyue, and the others, Wei Xiaoxiong suddenly remembered something and said out of the blue, ”Wait, I’m going back to the Qingyou Shop to check.”
