The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1745: Chapter 1745: Asking an Exorbitant Price

The door of the circular building opened, and a ’person’ about 1.2 meters tall, dressed in a military green uniform, walked in. The moment it came in, all the green eyes quieted down.

It looked very similar to those green eyes, the only difference being its head was larger, and its eyes were even greener, glowing green. Not only its eyes, but its cheeks, skin, and hair...

All were green, and deep green at that.

Meanwhile, the color of the group of green eyes was lighter, somewhat like a tender green.

Among this group of greens, it was the only deep green one, standing at the door. It said nothing, merely glanced at these green eyes, and they all lowered their heads.

When it lifted its foot and walked inside, in the next instant, the green eyes lined up one by one. They stood in formation until it reached the center, and then it sat down.

After it sat down, the other green eyes finally sat down one after another.

Then—

It raised its head and looked at Ji You on the screen.

Meanwhile, Ji You’s hand, holding the folding knife, had already stopped. The Little Golden Dragon asked slightly puzzled, ”Woman, weren’t you going to cut the thread? Why aren’t you cutting it now?”

Ji You remained silent, her black eyes unusually serious.

Little Golden Dragon didn’t dare to release its tail, just stood there puzzled, saying, ”Hurry up and act, don’t procrastinate. Let me tell you, villains not only die from talking too much but also from procrastination!”

”Shh—” Ji You raised a hand, interrupting Little Golden Dragon’s chatter, and said, ”Can’t cut it anymore, a big guy has come.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”???”

”The little folding knife is useless now.” Ji You put the folding knife away, re-clasped it to her wrist, and said, ”This big guy is pretty strong.”

Little Golden Dragon was puzzled.

Ji You said, ”You should let go of your tail; you can’t stop it.”

The Little Golden Dragon had been tightly wrapping its tail around the thread, but upon hearing it should let go, it was a bit worried: ”Are you sure about letting go? Will it run away if I let go?”

”Let go,” Ji You squinted her eyes and said, ”If it wants to run, you can’t stop it.”

Little Golden Dragon heard this and immediately let go.

The next moment, it felt as if something passed over its tail. When it looked down, it found nothing.

This thing that can’t be seen is really annoying.

Little Golden Dragon furrowed its brow and said, ”What do we do now?”

Ji You stood motionless, her right hand still tightly gripped, causing Little Golden Dragon to tense up: ”You’re still holding it?”

”Yes.” Ji You nodded.

Little Golden Dragon’s eyelid twitched: ”Then why did you make me let go?”

Ji You said, ”I can hold it, you go back to the spaceship cabin, wake up Senior He Bi and Jiaojiao, have everyone come up with ways to try to rescue Liu Fufeng.”

Little Golden Dragon asked, ”What about you?”

While speaking, Ji You kept her eyes fixed on a spot in the void, and without turning her head, said, ”I’ll continue negotiating with it.”

”Still negotiating?” Little Golden Dragon frowned and said, ”Aren’t they ignoring us?”

”The big guy is here, doesn’t that mean there’s someone in charge?” Ji You reached out her left hand, waved vigorously, and urged, ”Hurry up, don’t you know that cannon fodder dies from too much curiosity?”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon promptly jumped up, rushing towards the spaceship without looking back.

At that moment, only Ji You remained, along with Old Yellow Bull, staring bewilderedly with its big eyes.

Old Yellow Bull knew nothing, not even realizing it was wrapped with silk threads. It just felt a bit cold all around and had no idea where the chill was coming from. Unknowingly, Old Yellow Bull couldn’t help but lean its head closer to Ji You.

Ji You seemed to sense something, lowered her head, and glanced at Old Yellow Bull.

Old Yellow Bull trembled all over, suddenly remembering the little bug it was approaching! It’s that most disliked human short bug.

Oh my god~

The little bug is clearly much scarier than those inexplicably appearing chills.

Thinking this way, Old Yellow Bull immediately moved its head away.

Ji You, however, extended a hand, patted Old Yellow Bull’s head, and smiled: ”Good.”

Old Yellow Bull: ”Moo—”

[Don’t touch me.]

[Annoying.]

[You irritate me.]

”No worries, I won’t bother you,” Ji You said casually and then ignored Old Yellow Bull, instead turning her attention to the pitch-black void and saying, ”Since you’re here, say hello.”

Beyond the void, at the center of Taoyuan, inside the circular building, the deep green eye sitting at the main position of the large screen suddenly squinted slightly and spoke.

”You can see me?”

It emitted a string of strange notes, and its voice was very low, very soft. These sounds were only heard by the green eyes inside the circular building. It traveled through that silk thread, transforming into human-understandable meaning when it reached Ji You’s ears.

All around, it was quiet, not a sound was heard.

Ji You smiled slightly but did not answer. Instead, she said: ”Can you not see me?”

It was silent.

Inside the circular building, all the green eyes felt tremendous pressure spreading around.

Stifling.

Oppressive.

Urgent.

...

The green eyes bowed their heads one by one, not daring to make a sound. Even their breaths were held.

Then.

It spoke again: ”Oh, you can really see me. No wonder those threads can’t bind you.”

Ji You kept a stern face and thought to herself, I have no idea if you’re a scallion or a garlic clove, how can I possibly see you?

But to gain control over the conversation, one must not let others see through reality.

Although she couldn’t see the other party, the other party could certainly see her, so this was fine—after all, isn’t it just acting?

She had taken a crash course in acting.

Thinking this way, Ji You, with a calm demeanor, said: ”Stop wasting words, I’m not cutting the thread to chat with you. First, announce your name. Second, disperse these Black Fog immediately. Third, remove all obstacles. Fourth, hand over 10 Crystal Cores. Fifth, provide at least 100 local specialties. Sixth, return the spaceship we left here, the one with the ’Haolai, Delicious You Return’ banner, don’t get it wrong; all responsibility lies with you. Seventh, quickly open the Plane passage. Eighth, I’m very interested in your grid farm, give me a model. Ninth, open your Plane for us to visit. Tenth... will supplement when thought of.”

”...”

”...”

”...” The green eyes, the more they listened, the more deeply furrowed their brows. This human, with such audacity, dares to make so many demands, and she speaks so casually as if voicing them ensures a prompt response...

And it just kept listening quietly.
