The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 303: Don’t Want to Be Human Anymore
CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 303: DON’T WANT TO BE HUMAN ANYMORE
Ji You would never have done this if she knew her classmates would, one day, follow suit and adopt such disgusting and sleazy food hoarding behaviors.
Sigh!
What a regret in hindsight.
Suddenly——
A juicy and shiny piece of braised pork with perfect layers of fat and lean meat was placed into Ji You’s bowl.
Ji You was stunned, looked up, and said: "Jiaojiao!"
Chu Jiaojiao stared at Ji You’s face, giggled foolishly, and said: "Ji You, I saved this piece of meat especially for you. I didn’t touch it with my lips at all."
Ji You was so touched she didn’t know what to say: "Jiaojiao... it’s still you who are nice."
Chu Jiaojiao, seeing that Ji You was moved by her, couldn’t bear to blink and chuckled: "Ji You, you are so beautiful, it’s all deserved."
Ji You: "..."
On this side, Ji You was quick to react, slapping away Yue Qiguang’s sneaky chopsticks, scolding: "Eat your synthetic food!"
Yue Qiguang: "You’ve had enough."
Now he had fallen so low as to clean the training room every day, adding extra training every day, and couldn’t catch up with the natural food supply times. With breakfast the only meal with no purchase limit, lunch and dinner were both time and quantity-limited and not allowed to be fetched by others; this rule was just unreasonable!
Because of this, Yue Qiguang was almost driven to a frenzy of rage. In the past few days, he just used a bit of force and robbed them of some food, and now everyone guarded their meals like he was a thief and even went crazy to the point of licking all over the food.
So infuriating!
Yue Qiyuan had no sympathy for his stupid brother at all. He looked at the group and suddenly said: "Aqing, how many matches did you play with Rag Queen yesterday?"
Shen Changqing’s fingers paused, he nodded: "Mhm."
Ji You, who had been burying her head in her meal, also paused slightly.
After listening, Yue Qiyuan was silent for a few seconds, his facial expression quite complex, and said: "Did you lose?"
Shen Changqing nodded and said: "Yeah, lost the last match."
Yue Qiguang, who had taken a few bites, almost threw his chopsticks, truly frustrated. Hearing Shen Changqing had lost, he couldn’t help but say: "Who is it anyway! An insignificant person I’ve never heard of, and you let yourself be defeated? Shen Changqing, do you still have the face to sit in front of me and gulp down braised pork?"
Shen Changqing: "..."
Others: "..."
Everyone present, including Shen Changqing, Ji You, and even Sheng Qingyan, felt the impulse to grab their own plates and find another seat to sit far away—Yue Qiguang was just unbearable and left them speechless.
Then——
Everyone looked at each other and, though no words were exchanged, they unanimously decided to ignore Yue Qiguang entirely.
Yue Qiyuan said: "Aqing, I watched your match with her, and in the last game, you had many opportunities to defeat her but hesitated and missed your chances."
This issue, Shen Changqing had examined carefully by watching the videos of the fight last night. He knew, nodded his head, and said: "Indeed, from the beginning, I should not have given her a chance and attacked with full force."
Then, the two discussed in detail the problems they encountered during the matches with Rag Queen.
After the conversation, Yue Qiyuan seemed to recall something and asked: "Tonight, are you challenging her again?"
Shen Changqing didn’t deny it, nodding: "Mhm."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You’s hand holding the chopsticks could hardly stay steady.
Listening to the two discuss the Rag Queen as if no one else was around, she felt like, it seemed, maybe she had discovered an amazing secret.
What the!
Xiaoqing = Shen Changqing?
Ah-ha?
Ji You was so shocked she nearly spit out her food, her eyes almost popping out. Beside her, Chu Jiaojiao asked with full concern: "Ji You, what’s the matter? Do you have an eye problem? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath and shook her head: "No. I’m fine."
Considering Ji You’s stunning beauty, Chu Jiaojiao was very concerned, and said: "Ji You, if you feel uncomfortable, you must go to the infirmary. You can’t ignore your health issues. If there’s a problem, find out early and resolve it as soon as possible."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You almost told her to shut up but held back the strange feeling in her heart, and said: "Yeah, I know."
Chu Jiaojiao finally felt relieved.
On this side, Yue Qiyuan looked at Shen Changqing and said, "If you’re going to compete with her, I’ll go watch the match. Remember, her spiritual power is extremely terrifying. Don’t let her get close, and take her down from a distance as soon as the match starts."
Shen Changqing had the same intention and said, "Yeah, I know."
Yue Qiyuan’s dark eyes stared into the distance, his thoughts unknown. Suddenly he said, "After you challenge her, I will challenge her too."
—He vowed to redeem his previous humiliation!
Shen Changqing was taken aback and asked, "You’re also going to challenge her?"
Yue Qiyuan said, "Yes! I think she can polish my combat skills and mentality very well."
Indeed.
Besides honing skills, the most important thing was to strengthen his mentality.
—Without defeating the Rag Queen, the shadow in his heart would never fade; it was practically toxic. Therefore, he, Yue Qiyuan, must defeat that sleazy, shameless Rag Queen fair and square, with real strength!
Shen Changqing nodded, "Hmm."
Yue Qiyuan said, "I believe that even without the Tracking Particle Cannon, the two of us can beat her."
Overhearing their conversation, Ji You couldn’t help but look up at the sky and said, "That Rag Queen you guys are talking about sounds so formidable. Do you really think you can defeat her?"
Yue Qiyuan gave her a disdainful glance and said, "Big shots are talking, insignificant people should not butt in."
Ji You: "..."
She wanted to say she was the Rag Queen and throw it in their face—
But forget it.
As a big shot, she needed to keep a low profile.
Then, tonight on the battlefield, she would smash both of their faces thoroughly!
That’s right.
That would be the best way to slap their faces.
Chu Jiaojiao finished all the food and said, "Xiao Yang has quit the team competition, and our team is short one person. I think the fighting style of that Rag Queen suits my taste. Should we recruit her?"
Those who could participate in the first-year solo competition were certainly strong freshmen. It would be beneficial for their team to recruit such a person.
Others had thought about finding someone new, but upon hearing they wanted to bring in the Rag Queen, Yue Qiguang was the first to object and cursed, "Is our team just taking in any garbage? Recruiting someone whose situation and background we don’t even understand? Dad here objects."
Ji You’s hand that had released the chopsticks suddenly tightened again.
Ahhh!!!
She really wanted to smash his damn head.
After pondering, Yue Qiyuan said, "I also advise against recruiting people indiscriminately. First of all, the team competition requires coordination. Her strength as an individual doesn’t mean she can integrate well into our team, so—"
Ji You: "..."
I don’t even want to join!
There, Captain Shen Changqing said, "We’re not sure whether the Rag Queen has a team yet. It’s too early to talk about this. I’ll try adding her as a friend today and ask."
Ji You: "..."
Ptooey!
Am I, the big boss, so lacking in presence? Think you can just add me as a friend whenever you want?
Hmph~
The few people engrossed in discussing the team competition didn’t notice Ji You’s odd expression, and Ji You chewed her food with a crunch.
Here, Sheng Qingyan had been like an outsider the whole time, this Little Cutie was interested in nothing, buried in eating food, and after eating, got up and left without any interest in staying for the discussion.
Ji You also finished eating and quickly caught up with Sheng Qingyan.
She had to prepare for tonight’s battle, not for anything else, just to slap some faces!
Moreover—
Compared to the disdain shown by classmates like Yue Qiyuan and Yue Qiguang for her own self, Ji You felt that the pressure placed by her teacher, Mu Jianling, to be in the top ten of the Alliance singles competition, was just too overwhelming; she didn’t even want to exist anymore.
Ying~
