The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1537: Chapter 1537: Teacher Mu’s Gossip 2

Little Golden Dragon’s mouth rattled on like a machine gun, constantly complaining about the repairman, and finally said heavily, ”I think the repairman is great in every way except he’s a bit of a hopeless romantic.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You said speechlessly, ”Isn’t it a bit unfair to talk about the repairman like that?”

Little Golden Dragon rolled its eyes and sighed, ”But he really is a hopeless romantic. If it weren’t for him being blinded by love, how could he not realize that the peach blossom Teacher Mu gave him was the same one he had given her? She returned the gift he had given her. What does that tell you? He doesn’t know?”

What does it mean?

What could it mean, bright and clear rejection.

For a moment, Ji You couldn’t help but raise a hand to rub her forehead, asking, ”Did the repairman really not see that?”

Little Golden Dragon flicked its tail heavily, answering, ”I think he didn’t notice it. He was so flustered by receiving a peach blossom from Teacher Mu, how could he possibly notice?”

Hearing this, Ji You nodded thoughtfully and said, ”In that case, the repairman indeed has a bit of a hopeless romantic mindset.”

”Exactly.” Little Golden Dragon was very dissatisfied and said, ”A person who just bangs around researching and inventing stuff every day, without a single romantic cell. When a girl wrote him a love letter, he read it out loud in front of the whole class, word for word. After reading it, he didn’t care if the girl was embarrassed, and even corrected the spelling and grammatical errors on the spot in the letter... People like that are bound to be lonely.”

Ji You: ”...”

Even though Little Golden Dragon only said a few short words, Ji You could already feel what kind of guy the repairman might be. He’s just a straight-up iron-willed guy.

”It’s surprising that after transferring to Teacher Mu’s class, he suddenly changed. It’s unclear whether his mind drifted away or something else... He secretly developed a crush on Teacher Mu... I can only say his courage is huge. Other guys chasing girls are like conquering Mount Everest, but him, he thinks he can level it too, is that possible?”

Ji You’s mouth twitched, saying, ”That goal is indeed a bit big.”

Little Golden Dragon spread its hands and said, ”So then, that’s why he failed.”

Ji You thought she might overhear more gossip and inside information if she listened longer, but thinking it through, she wasn’t that brave... What if Teacher Mu found out? Well, if she found out, then so be it!

Ji You hardened her heart and asked, ”Teacher Mu really doesn’t have any feelings for the repairman? They never dated?”

Little Golden Dragon circled around on the coffee table with its hands behind its back, wanting to shake its head but not entirely sure, said, ”I don’t know, because several times he went on missions with Teacher Mu, without taking me, so there’s nothing else stored in my memory bank.”

Ji You shivered suddenly, becoming alert, said, ”You’ve recorded so many embarrassing things about the repairman, did you also record mine?”

Little Golden Dragon’s tail tip quivered, then immediately said righteously, ”Wishful thinking! I don’t record you. Do you think my storage is infinite? I only record a bit of valuable stuff.”

Ji You eyed it, ”Valuable stuff, like threatening videos of me?”

Little Golden Dragon: ”Ahem, ahem...”

Ji You asked, ”What about it? Anything unusual about the repairman before departure.”

Little Golden Dragon said, ”Aside from the scene where Teacher Mu suddenly gave flowers, there really wasn’t anything unusual. Entering the space rift was a prearranged plan, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time. On the day of departure, he was quite happy, saying he could finally do something more meaningful. If successful, it might benefit all mankind, who knows.”

Ji You’s heart stirred, ”What kind of thing?”

Little Golden Dragon shook its head and replied, ”It’s not in my memory strip.”

Ji You cursed, ”Why do you always fail at crucial moments! What’s the point of having you?”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

”You... you wicked woman, I won’t allow you to talk to me like that.” Little Golden Dragon’s whole dragon body was reddened by Ji You’s comment, as if it was a boiled lobster...

Ji You raised her hand, rubbed her temples, said, ”Alright, alright, I won’t say you’re a failing lobster anymore.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon was so furious it turned away, ignoring Ji You.

Ji You pondered and asked, ”What do you think would benefit all mankind?”

Little Golden Dragon ignored her, using its actions to show it was still angry.

Ji You touched her chin, thought for a moment, said, ”Could it be something related to Star Beasts? By my understanding, something that would benefit all mankind would be solving the Star Beast menace.”

Little Golden Dragon immediately turned around and said, ”I don’t think so. He doesn’t have any research on Star Beasts. How could he find a way to solve the Star Beast menace? During his first fight with Star Beasts, he cried out of fear.”

Ji You furrowed her brow, ”If it’s not that, then what could it be?”

Could it be?

Ji You’s heart moved, ”Could it be mass-producing Biological Mechas?” If Biological Mechas could be mass-produced, humans with such powerful weapons could face High-level Star Beast threats directly, greatly increasing survival chances. In this way, it might indeed be possible to solve the Star Beast menace.

Little Golden Dragon listened and shook its head, saying, ”I don’t feel it’s that.”

Ji You fell silent.

According to Little Golden Dragon, the repairman’s affection for Teacher Mu means he has beautiful dreams about love and his future family. Coupled with wanting to enter the space rift to accomplish his goal, he clearly has endless aspirations and a complete plan for the future... Such a person is definitely not suicidal.

So, ruling out the possibility of the repairman’s suicide.

Then, only homicide or accidental death remains.

Either he encountered insurmountable danger in the space rift, leading to his sacrifice, or he met a lethal environment causing his demise.

Or perhaps someone ambushed him. But such an excellent student, with a future as a potential cornerstone of the country, should be protected. Who would want him dead?

...

Too many doubts, and currently too little information, Ji You can’t analyze the specific reason at all.

She thought for a while and asked, ”Little Golden Dragon, do you know if the repairman has enemies? Has he ever offended anyone?”

”No!”

”How could that shut-in possibly have enemies? He wishes he could spend 25 hours a day in the laboratory, where would he have time to offend people?”

”Hmm~” Ji You stroked her chin, said, ”Then think again, without deep grudges, are there any minor frictions, like whether he ever stepped on someone’s white shoes and didn’t apologize, released a fart at someone’s birthday party affecting the mood, or unknowingly stole someone’s beloved girl?”

Little Golden Dragon confidently shook its head, ”No! Absolutely not! The biggest harm he caused others was that day reading the love letter publicly. Afterward, I personally apologized to the girl, and she forgave him, saying she no longer liked him. Oh my gosh, he only acquired one peach blossom in his life, and he managed to sabotage it himself. I attempted to save it, but couldn’t.”

Ji You: ”...”
