The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1561: Awards Ceremony Concluded

Ji You was slightly taken aback.

Is there really a way in this world to quickly increase spiritual power?

Is this thing a Soul Device?

Or is it something else?

For that moment, Ji You was genuinely curious.

Her brief pause was immediately noticed by Principal Hong, who coldly snorted and scolded, ”Put away your random thoughts. If you dare to use those things, I’ll break your legs.”

Ji You quickly replied, ”Don’t misunderstand, sir. I didn’t intend to use such things, I’m just a bit curious.”

Principal Hong lowered his eyes, ”Curious? You’ve got time on your hands, huh? I’m planning to bring in a batch of pigs from the Agricultural College next door, and you’ll be responsible for raising them. If the yield doesn’t meet the requirements, I’ll feed you to the pigs.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You hurriedly turned to the old principal for help, adopting a contemplative look about the school’s long-term development, and said, ”Old Principal, look, Principal Hong always engages in these non-academic activities. The Agricultural College’s chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep... he occasionally sneaks a few back, nearly occupying all our school’s land. Doesn’t the Agricultural College have any objections? Old Principal, how about we take the spare time to return all these livestock to them?”

The old principal’s spiritual sound wave carried a hint of amusement, saying, ”That’s a good suggestion, but if we do that, our school’s meals will take a nosedive in quality. Your favorite braised pork rib rice and long-legged chicken eggs... they all come from our school’s ranch livestock.”

Ji You’s eyes widened instantly, and the next second she rapidly changed her tune, ”Return them? Absolutely not! Principal Hong, when do you have time? Shall we go and sneak a few more back together?”

Principal Hong rolled his eyes, ”And you’ll raise them?”

Ji You patted her chest, ”I’ll raise them! The biggest problem isn’t raising them, it’s whether we can sneak more livestock...”

Without a care in the world, even in front of the old principal, Ji You was a cheeky monkey with no mental pressure at all. Principal Hong was utterly speechless.

However, their conversation was transmitted through sound waves, unnoticed and invisible to the students outside on the square.

At this moment, Ji You seemed to hear a faint yawn coming from the old principal’s side. She truly felt it, and Principal Hong obviously noticed as well. He directly scolded Ji You, ”Aren’t you leaving quickly? Waiting to sneak pigs and sheep with me to the Agricultural College?”

”Ahem...” Ji You coughed lightly, wanting to ask more about Nolan Augustine’s unusual spiritual power issues—what exactly was the thing the old principal mentioned that causes impurities in spiritual power?

But!

It’s clear that Principal Hong didn’t want Ji You to know, which is why he led Ji You in this playful banter.

And the old principal did not further explain to Ji You.

Thinking it over, Ji You simply gave up.

In the next second, Ji You respectfully thanked the two teachers and withdrew all her spiritual power.

Then.

Ji You met Shen Changqing’s gaze, Shen Changqing looked at Ji You with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Ji You scratched her head and said, ”Little Stupid, don’t look at me like that, I don’t have any candy.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Suddenly, Shen Changqing felt that Principal Hong’s comment about her being ’crazy’ was quite fitting. This person had no filter and was bound to be beaten up one day.

Ahem...

Perhaps he should encourage Ah Guang to teach her a lesson later?

Shen Changqing pondered secretly, thinking it might be doable.

But outwardly, Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm, and he asked Ji You with curious eyes, ”Ji You, were you just talking with Principal Feng and Principal Hong?”

Ji You replied, ”Yep.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji You looked at Shen Changqing with an unexpected smile, ”So, Little Stupid has become stronger, huh? You could actually sense it?”

Shen Changqing overlooked the jarring ’Little Stupid,’ saying, ”My spiritual power isn’t weak, it’s just that my Spiritual Silk cleaning rate was a bit low, so I couldn’t use Sound Wave Transmission temporarily.”

Ji You said, ”Keep it up.”

Just as she finished saying that, Ji You suddenly noticed Liu Fufeng on stage, already starting to walk down from the stage, and a chill ran through her, ”What? He’s already finished accepting the award?”

Shen Changqing was also slightly confused, saying, ”Huh?”

When did that happen?

Ji You checked the time; from her conversation with the two principals to the end, it was just over ten minutes, and she hadn’t even taken five minutes after Shen Changqing was done with his award acceptance.

In just a short moment, Liu Fufeng had finished?

That perfunctory?

No,

The school would never be perfunctory; it must be that Liu Fufeng’s presence was too low.

Ji You raised her head and looked around, noticing many students deeply engrossed in discussing the talents and competition situations of Ji You, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and others with their peers. These students seemed to have missed Liu Fufeng’s award ceremony completion.

Moving her gaze to the stage below, Ji You saw Liu Fufeng come down from the stage without detouring and directly return to the lineup via a straight line through the senior team.

As Liu Fufeng stopped, noticing Ji You and Shen Changqing looking at him, he blushed slightly with his beautiful eyes, ”Ji You, Shen Changqing... you’re looking at me. Is there something unusual?”

Ji You shook her head, ”No, just thought you received your award pretty quickly.”

Liu Fufeng, this guy, when he wants to be unnoticed, his presence is so low it’s outrageous, leaving others baffled.

Ji You had already learned about this. She wasn’t surprised; the reason must be related to Liu Fufeng’s spiritual power.

Thus, Ji You wasn’t curious at all.

Shen Changqing’s mouth slightly opened, but he didn’t delve further into his curiosity.

Then.

The old principal proceeded to award Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, and seven other students with the Space Rift tickets. After that, he awarded Lou, Lance, and Yu Song with the Excellent Student Award.

Of course, this Excellent Student Award was essentially a consolation prize.

Lou, Lance, and Yu Song stepped onto the stage respectfully to receive their awards, without a hint of discontent. Receiving a medal personally awarded by the old principal was already a deeply honorable event, no one would disdain it.

As the trio looked at the medal on their shoulders, a determined thought rose in their hearts—to work harder, to be more outstanding, and to be deserving of this medal.

...

On stage, after awarding all the medals, the old principal didn’t say much more. After a few simple words, he announced the end of the assembly.

Ji You, along with Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and others, followed the main group back to the second-year mecha training room in an orderly manner.
