The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1509: Chapter 1509: A Losing Business

After a sigh, Ji You thought for a moment and decided to draw another Array Diagram. Although earning 200 million at a time didn’t meet the expectation, if she earned several more times, she’d accumulate 10 billion!

Ahem...

One time 200 million, ten times is 2 billion, fifty times is 10 billion, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Ji You reignited her passion and decided to continue working!

So, Ji You immediately took out a new black Companion Stone, cut it into 10 equal-sized pieces, and then sat at the workbench to continue engraving.

But for some reason, every time she just started, she felt particularly mentally fatigued, followed by failure.

Once, twice, three times...

Continuous failures made Ji You lose her temper, she raised her hand, rubbed her brow, and somewhat weakly said to Fourth in her Spiritual World, ”Fourth, stop being lazy, get up and work, just treat it as working for me, working once, you’ll get 200 million! 200 million! With this 200 million, I can buy so many Candy Beans!”

Fourth sat limply atop Old Five’s head, now shrunken to the size of a toothpick, upon hearing the master’s words, Fourth raised its head, then dropped it again: [Master, Sisi can’t... Yingyingying... Sisi thinks it seems to be ill.]

As soon as Ji You heard this, alarms went off in her head: ”You’re a Spiritual Silk, and you can get sick?” Do you think your master is an idiot?

Isn’t it just wanting Soul Device, Candy Beans, and delicious food?

Fourth felt the master clearly didn’t believe it, and suddenly got teary-eyed: [Master, can’t help it, without a Soul Device, people can’t work.]

With this said, Ji You put her mind at ease, isn’t it just a Soul Device? As long as it’s not sick, otherwise, if the Spiritual Silk got sick, she really wouldn’t know how to treat it. Ji You thought for a while and said, ”I’ll find a way to buy a Soul Device, what about other threads? Who else can do this job, come try, if successful, we’ll buy a High-level Soul Device.”

Upon hearing the High-level Soul Device, the Six Strands instantly became spirited, even Fourth couldn’t help but straighten its head, eagerly looking at Ji You.

Boss jumped out first: [Master, let me try.]

Second scrambled: [Master, I can do it too.]

Third: [Master, me me me...]

At this moment, Fourth remained silent, pretending to be non-existent like a salted fish.

Old Five and Sixth both rushed to sign up.

Then, they all failed.

The blow of failure and excessive spiritual power consumption made the Six Strands look very dispirited, Ji You’s entire mental state was also very sluggish. If there were a mirror in front of her, Ji You would know her current appearance is not much better than that of a ghost.

Unfortunately, Ji You’s workbench had no mirror, hence she remained unaware.

Ji You wanted to try again, but was too tired to lift her fingers. Having the precedent of a third-level disability, she reluctantly tossed the carving knife aside, irritably grabbed a handful of hair, then went to sleep, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the bed. In her Spirit Space, Boss, Second... Sixth, all Spiritual Silks also collapsed limply at this moment.

The next day.

Ji You’s spirit was still poor, she felt slightly breathless walking, because she’s about to go to a Space Rift, Ji You dared not continue exhausting herself and decided to conserve energy, aiming to adjust her Physical Strength and spiritual power to the best state.

Firstly, Ji You gritted her teeth and bought 10 low-level soul devices from the Star Network store, spending 15 million credit points, the whole market didn’t have mid or high-level soul devices, so Ji You couldn’t buy them, she had boldly promised to buy a high-level soul device for the Six Spiritual Threads, but in the end? Not even a way to go.

Ji You couldn’t buy existing stocks but discovered a few Mid-level Soul Devices in an auction. She gritted her teeth and participated in the auction, eventually spending a massive 180 million to buy one, because this Mid-level Soul Device was crafted by Master Deng Mingguang of Galaxy Empire.

In the whole human society, the reputation of Master Deng Mingguang is similar to that of Master Kong Zhe, even slightly better than Master Kong Zhe. Deng Mingguang’s most proud creation is the engagement ring of the Empire’s Emperor and Xia Man Empress, which is a High-level Soul Device, and a High-level Soul Device with a usage period of over 50 years.

Also, due to Master Deng Mingguang’s huge reputation, anything he makes, even just a low-level soul device, is priced several times higher than any other Soul Artifact Master.

This Mid-level Soul Device is the same, its original market price was 50 million credit points, but Ji You spent more than 3 times the price to get it down.

The Mid-level Soul Device is still in transport, temporarily unavailable. However, Ji You did not feel much joy.

Earn 200 million, spend 180 million. Round up, equals to working for free.

Ji You is bitter inside.

Yingyingying~

If each sale of Array Diagram in the future requires so much money to compensate for the loss of spiritual power... then this business is better left alone.

With a dejected face, Ji You headed to the medical room to fix her face, originally intending to find another doctor, but happened to bump into Dr. Luo, who upon seeing Ji You’s state, especially those eyes getting so black they’re almost sunken, got shocked: ”I say it’s broad daylight, how come there’s a ghost? Turns out it’s Ji You.”

Ji You: ”...”

Just as Ji You was about to retract her foot, Dr. Luo stepped forward and lifted Ji You up, throwing her into the treatment cabin.

Before being stuffed in, Ji You screamed: ”No! I don’t want treatment! I don’t want to sign a contract.”

Dr. Luo scolded: ”No need to sign a contract, it’s a minor issue, 1 million credit points would solve it.”

million?

Still a minor issue?

Ji You almost fainted on the spot upon hearing.

Then, she felt her sluggish, almost rusty body was pushed into the medical cabin by Dr. Luo, and what followed is unknown to her.

Upon waking up, her face was smooth and fair, finally restored to its original appearance, and she felt revived and vigorous, but just as she had time to rejoice, she watched helplessly as her account got forcefully deducted by 1 million and 3 credit points.

Ji You looked at the bill and couldn’t help but complain: ”You even haggle over 3 credit points?”

Dr. Luo laughed: ”That’s what you owed before, I added it casually.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You glared: ”Are you sure it’s casual, and not on purpose?”

She remembers that in the past, when paying Dr. Luo for treatment, she deducted 3 times, each time 1 credit point, she didn’t expect Dr. Luo to remember.

Sure enough, stinginess is a tradition of their school.

Accepting the defeat gracefully, Ji You cupped hands: ”Farewell.”

Dr. Luo watched the little figure run quickly, almost disappearing, couldn’t help but smile, and reminded: ”Don’t be reckless these few days, remember to maintain a good state.”

Ji You raised her hand, snapped her fingers: ”Got it.”
