The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1643: Chapter 1643: Ordering Dishes

Ji You was unaware of the sudden increase in Yun’s students on Star Network due to her current troubles with Senior He Bi and others.

Before entering the space rift, everyone was extremely excited, even having countless fantasies. But after all the effort to break in, they found nothing here; visible to the naked eye, there was nothing.

...

X-N3848 was taking the third route, the direction the monster resembling frog eggs had taken. Shen Changqing stepped down, leaving Ji You in charge of navigating the spaceship, with Chu Jiaojiao assisting as co-pilot.

Everyone else took their positions.

He Bi stood on the deck, observing the surroundings through an antique telescope.

The spaceship was surrounded by pitch darkness, with no trace of light.

The speed of the spaceship wasn’t fast, as decided by everyone to reduce the speed deliberately. Since they were taking the route of the frog egg monster, they didn’t know if it might suddenly appear or was just ahead, so keeping slightly behind was necessary.

Silence.

It seemed as though, apart from X-N3848, there were no other living creatures left in the world.

Ji You felt like she had been piloting the spaceship for a long time but hadn’t seen any other objects, celestial or living. It was so quiet it felt like they had reached the world’s end...

Deathly silence.

However, the quieter it was, the more unsettling it felt. On the spaceship, Sheng Qingyan lay lazily on the sofa with his eyes closed, Yue Qiguang sat boldly on the floor, wiping his weapon, and Liu Fufeng sat quietly in the corner, calculating fortune...

Everyone seemed quite at ease.

Yet, no one actually let down their guard. ℴ

In this eerily calm atmosphere, Ji You’s voice came from the spaceship’s broadcast: ”By the way, are you hungry?”

With these words—

Gulu~

Gulu~

Gulu~

...

The chorus of stomach growls broke the silence on the spaceship. Yue Qiguang put away his weapon and flipped his eyes, saying: ”Dad’s been starving for ages, just wondering if you all had become immortals. I have just one question—when’s dinner?”

Sheng Qingyan rubbed his stomach, saying: ”I’m also hungry, when’s dinner? I feel like I could eat an entire cow.”

Yue Qiyuan touched his chin: ”Speaking of cows, letting that one go was a pity. It was roasted and ready, just couldn’t eat the meat, alas.”

With a heavy sigh, Yue Qiyuan smacked his lips and swallowed his saliva.

Shen Changqing stayed silent.

At this moment, Liu Fufeng put down his fortune, looked up, and asked: ”My only question is, who’s cooking?”

Everyone: ”Huh?!!!”

This question stumped everyone.

Then Liu Fufeng, with his beautiful eyes open, said something that resonated deeply: ”Let me clarify, if it’s still nutrient solution, I’d rather stay hungry.”

Recently, everyone’s been too busy to cook, subsisting on nutrient solution + water daily, with the taste lingering in their mouths, even burping, they can taste the nutrient solution~

Even the High-level Natural Nutrient, though more palatable, is far inferior compared to fresh seafood and vegetables.

Overall, everyone was tired of it.

Sitting in the cockpit, Ji You heard everyone’s words and couldn’t help but twitch her eyelids, scolding: ”When are you going to stop being picky! Keep it down!”

Next, Ji You immediately ordered: ”Senior He Bi, I command you to go cook for everyone right now!”

Everyone wanted to argue with Ji You, but she voiced what was on everyone’s mind in the next second.

He Bi’s eyelid twitched: ”You all want a beating, right?”

Everyone said in unison: ”Senior, we beg you—”

Subconsciously, He Bi shivered with goosebumps.

Ji You said: ”Senior, delegate your work to Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, or to me, everyone is really starving.”

Ji You sighed heavily and continued: ”Humans are made of iron, meals are steel, skipping meals brings hunger, regardless of what you do, you need to be full and satisfied to have strength and energy...”

He Bi’s mouth twitched slightly, then he waved his hand, saying: ”Okay, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, come over quickly.”

Thinking of food, Yue Qiyuan and Sheng Qingyan didn’t hesitate, immediately standing up to go to the deck for guard duty.

Entering the kitchen, He Bi was just about to gather ingredients when Liu Fufeng and Shen Changqing followed him inside. He Bi raised his eyebrow, asking: ”What are you both doing here?”

Liu Fufeng opened his eyes and asked: ”Senior, can you make the school’s secret braised ribs with rice?”

Shen Changqing was also clearly interested.

He Bi’s mouth twitched: ”That, uh, a little bit.”

Both Liu Fufeng and Shen Changqing’s eyes lit up, and He Bi waved them off, as if swatting a fly, saying: ”Quickly get out, don’t think of stealing the recipe.”

Liu Fufeng left reassured.

All that was left was Shen Changqing, whose face was slightly flushed, mumbling for a long time before softly asking: ”Senior, can I... can I order something?”

He Bi: ”?”

Shen Changqing, blushing: ”Is it okay?”

He Bi said: ”Go on.”

Shen Changqing whispered: ”I’d like a dessert. Any dessert will do. I’m... I’m not picky.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi waved his hand: ”Alright, I’ll make you caramel pudding.”

Shen Changqing’s eyes lit up, revealing a big happy smile. He stood still, intending to wait until Senior He Bi finished cooking and have some before leaving.

Next moment.

He Bi announced on the broadcast: ”Shen Changqing wants caramel pudding, anyone else?”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

He just quietly ordered a little dessert, not wanting everyone to know.

As expected—

Shen Changqing then heard Ji You and others exclaiming: ”Shen Changqing, you actually want a private meal!”

”Little Stupid, you’re not dumb.”

”Aqing, you’re not fair.”

”...”

Shen Changqing’s face turned completely red.

Ji You shouted loudly: ”Senior, please don’t only cater to Little Stupid, everyone should have a share! I’ll start, I want two portions of braised ribs with rice!”

Chu Jiaojiao shouted: ”Senior, kindly prepare some pepper fish!”

Yue Qiguang said: ”Beer! Dad can do without anything else, must have a jug of beer!”

Before Yue Qiyuan, Liu Fufeng, and others could speak, they heard He Bi scold: ”Everyone shut up, this isn’t a restaurant! Just eat what’s made.”

When He Bi spoke, everyone quieted down.

At that moment, Ji You, piloting the spaceship, suddenly noticed a somewhat familiar object appearing ahead.
