The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1526: Rushing to Finish Homework

——Will there really be such a day?

No one will lack a Soul Device anymore. As long as you are willing to work hard, anyone can enhance their own strength.

The Star Beast issue will no longer be a problem.

By then, they will be like pets raised by humans, docile and obedient.

The survival crisis will no longer exist. How to make oneself happy will be the pursuit of mankind. Perhaps the arts will be revived, or maybe films, television, games, and other entertainment products will develop to unimaginable heights. Perhaps...

In any case, when there are no more sacrifices and no more accidents, everyone’s life will be more than sufficient...

Will there be such a day?

Ji You thought to herself, she didn’t know. Such a utopia only exists in fantasy and may never appear.

But!

She would strive for it. Even knowing it might be in vain, she would still try.

Even if she can’t build a utopia, she would still sweep away the Star Beast issue! This was what she promised to Senior Yang Bin, Senior Lu Zhen... them.

Countless thoughts spun in her mind. She stood silently in the pitch-black virtual space, yet gave Cheng Yu, who was observing, a sense of majesty and towering grandeur like a sky-reaching giant tree.

Green Glaze Master was not tall, at least, she should be below average height. This was Cheng Yu’s instinct, but right now, he felt his previous thoughts were utterly ridiculous.

The height of the body pales in comparison to the height of thought.

In front of Green Glaze Master, who was dedicated to the world, he felt ashamed.

All along, he had been trying to manage Master’s affection for himself, trying to help Master with tasks, just to gain Master’s favor and get a suitable Soul Device for his spiritual power breakthrough to Double A.

He even took commissions, selling merchandise and earning a handsome cut.

Cheng Yu bowed his head in shame.

Ji You turned around and suddenly saw Cheng Yu’s teacher’s round face blushing, and was somewhat puzzled: ”What are you doing?”

”Master!” Cheng Yu suddenly raised his head, as if making a firm decision, said: ”I’ve decided, from now on, Ah Da won’t need a salary anymore. I will help Master for free. As long as Master needs me, just a word, and I will definitely be at your service.”

”...” Ji You: ”???”

What happened?

Ji You looked perplexed and said: ”We were in an employment relationship, why don’t you need a salary?” Nowadays, is there anyone vying to not get paid?

Is he foolish?

Or am I too excellent?

Cheng Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but Ji You raised her hand to interrupt him and said: ”No more mention, everything remains the same.” Truly if he didn’t want the salary, she’d be anxious, and she might not be able to afford what he wants then.

Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said: ”Master, I’ve asked around. This time, the Cheng Family led the charge in rallying the netizens to denounce you.”

Ji You said: ”Oh, is the Cheng Family that idle?”

Cheng Yu felt deeply ashamed and said: ”After all, it’s because I brought trouble to Master.”

Ji You said: ”Tricks and schemes are ultimately small paths, ignore them. This Cheng Family won’t last long if they keep this up.”

Cheng Yu lowered his head: ”I think so too.”

Ji You saw Cheng Yu’s teacher with dark circles under his eyes, clearly losing sleep over the denunciations these past few days, and softly said: ”Go rest.”

Disconnect the communication.

Ji You shed the aloof sage-like Master image, anxiously tugged her hair, then started to hurriedly draft the analysis report.

This was a task assigned by the old Professor Ye Hong, which she must complete diligently. Ji You was very anxious inside, but she calmed herself, writing down her insights after observation and, based on her hypotheses and experiments, drafted a rough analysis report.

Here, it needed to be cross-verified with the report written by Xiao You.

That’s right.

Xiao You also needed to write a report. Ji You would integrate both of their analysis results into one.

Ji You asked busily: ”Xiao You, have you finished your report?”

Xiao You put down the pen. In the Iron Plate Space, everything was virtual, the pen included. Through mental connection, after sending the report she had written over the past few days to her sister, she smiled shyly: [Sister, do you think our analysis report will be criticized?]

She was a bit panicked.

Back then, it was this very old professor’s appraisal results that burdened Xiao You with accusations of plagiarism and theft.

Xiao You felt a bit nervous about facing him.

Ji You said: ”It’s okay, if we get scolded, we get scolded. Don’t you remember? How many times has my homework been scolded? Lice don’t itch when you have a lot, and debt doesn’t worry you when there’s a lot, getting scolded more toughens your skin. You’re just a bit thin-skinned.”

Xiao You blushed.

Ji You said: ”I’ll organize it further and then send it to Old Man Ye.”

Xiao You said softly: [Actually, Professor Ye is not bad at all, just a bit stubborn. He’s very strict with his teaching and the students he teaches.] Back then, Xiao You’s first choice was also to be a student of the old Professor Ye Hong. By a twist of fate, she became one now.

It’s just that the old professor doesn’t know he has such a student like her.

Xiao You thought silently.

Ji You laughed and said: ”Yeah, the old man isn’t bad, but bad people can do some good things, and good people can do bad things too. Like how he neglected his responsibilities, causing Xiao You to be maligned, he didn’t do well in that. Anyway, I don’t find him endearing; anyone who bullied Xiao You, I don’t find endearing.”

Xiao You’s face reddened again.

Ji You continued organizing her work.

Elsewhere.

In a soul device laboratory built in the sky, Lin Feng respectfully handed a research report he had carefully written to an elderly man who was intently processing materials.

The elderly man with silver hair dressed simply, and the crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes were deep, showing his age. He concentrated on processing the materials in his hands, seemingly unaware of Lin Feng’s actions.

Lin Feng waited for a while without urging.

A few minutes later.

The elderly man ceased his actions and, after properly storing the materials on the table according to their quality and storage methods, looked up at Lin Feng and couldn’t help but smile: ”Xiao Feng, you’ve become steadier now, not at all as reckless and cute as before.”

Lin Feng: ”...”

How did recklessness become forcibly linked with cuteness? Lin Feng straightened his face and solemnly declared: ”Teacher, I was always stable.”

The old man laughed and acknowledged, took the report from his hand, and casually remarked: ”What treasure have you discovered this time to rush over for me to see?”

Midway, the old man suddenly paused, looked up, and said to Lin Feng: ”Do you have more of those tickets you mentioned? Give me one.”

”Hurry up.”

”...” Lin Feng retorted: ”Teacher, don’t be so hasty, calm down.”

With a ”pop,” the old man raised his hand and gave Lin Feng a light tap on the head: ”I’ll show you calm, keep whining and I’ll give you 100 of those! Hurry and bring it over.”
