The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 694: Three Lucky Geese
CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 694: THREE LUCKY GEESE
During this period, Cheng Yu’s half-brother from the same father, Cheng Kun, indeed sought Ji You many times, even promising her many benefits... But Ji You, busy with competitions and training or studying, where would she have the time to bother with him?
Moreover, this person named Cheng Kun had once sent the Red-haired gang to cause trouble, almost cutting off Ji You’s financial path. How could Ji You possibly give him a good face?
Cheng Kun himself had sent Ji You several messages and even got several people from the Soul Artifact Manufacturing industry to cozy up to her and probe for all sorts of information about Ji You... Did Ji You have holes in her brain to care about such a person?
Thus, even without the relationship of teacher Cheng Yu, Ji You would not associate with someone as scheming as Cheng Kun.
Therefore, Qingyou’s alias, Ji You simply set it to reject all messages from strangers. Instantly, the world became quiet, and she was no longer bothered by anyone.
...
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu felt moved again...
Indeed!
Master had her own considerations.
Cheng Yu raised his head, a chubby face filled with smiles, and said: "Master, this trouble originally arose because of me. Rest assured, I won’t let people like Cheng Kun disturb you." Although he had left his family, Cheng Yu originally came from Main Star and, having live-streamed on Star Network for so many years, he was a renowned influencer. How could he lack his own network and connections?
Therefore, despite Cheng Kun’s painstaking efforts, he could not find out any information about the Green Glaze Master. On the contrary, because he had really annoyed Cheng Yu, Cheng Kun recently stirred up some big and small troubles, and had no time to focus on finding the Green Glaze Master.
Ji You indifferently said: "Hmm."
Next.
Ji You said: "Hand over the event to you and the new salesperson, tell me if there are any problems."
Having given her instructions, Ji You exited the shop management mode, and then she donned the salesperson’s disguise and entered the shop.
Inside the shop.
It was packed with people, but with rules set by Cheng Yu in advance, there was no chaos. Only when two salespeople appeared did the scene burst into cheers: "Is it finally starting?"
The task of selling and promoting was left to Cheng Yu. This time, Ji You was mainly responsible for maintaining order inside the shop. Thus, in front of everyone, she pulled out a huge cleaver, and with a bang, placed it at her feet.
Cheng Yu: "..."
Customer: "..."
Cheng Yu’s eyelids twitched, he whispered: "Dear, mind your image. Those who know understand we’re running a business, those who don’t think we’re setting up a ring for a fight."
Ji You squeezed out a smile at Cheng Yu, thought about Teacher Cheng Yu’s age... then changed her tone, her face full of smiles, saying: "Brother Ah Da... you do your thing. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the store, my cleaver—"
As she spoke, Ji You touched the handle of the cleaver and her eyes suddenly hardened, her voice full of authority: "—will make them regret it!"
Cheng Yu: "..."
Unable to help himself, Cheng Yu raised his hand to his forehead: My goodness, where did this silly billy come from? How did the Master dare to hire her as a salesperson?
Nevermind.
Cheng Yu said: "Alright, leave the sales to me, you just sit... cough... maintain order."
Ji You: "Cough cough..."
She didn’t want to be idly standing by the whole time; she had never organized such events and didn’t much like to be in the limelight. Besides, this activity didn’t really require a lot of manpower, Ji You felt perfectly justified in just standing by.
Thanks to Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, Zhang Ye, Xuzhou... All these classmates successfully found a spot on the shop’s floor to stand.
Seeing Ji You standing by idly through it all left a few speechless, but their minds weren’t on this anymore because — the lottery event was about to start.
Cheng Yu stood on the temporarily constructed stage in the shop, first delivering words of thanks, and then briefly explained the procedure of the event, before loudly announcing: "At this moment, in the spotlight, in this thrilling minute, let us all gently close our eyes, eagerly anticipating the arriving surprises—"
Next.
The lights dimmed at the venue, enveloping the atmosphere in darkness.
"10, 9, 8, 7..." As Cheng Yu’s slightly magnetic voice counted down to ’1’, he swiftly changed his tune, saying, "Please open your eyes, and from the myriad of galaxies, seize the star that belongs to you."
Among the millions of twinkling stars, only 3 represented a winning prize.
Everyone held their breath and slowly, slowly stretched out their hands...
When everyone had finished grabbing.
The lights at the venue suddenly turned back on—
At that moment, all the stars in everyone’s hands spontaneously opened up, and upon seeing the results within, the place erupted in a wave of wailing...
Cheng Yu, with a smile, consoled the audience who didn’t win, saying, "Don’t cry, don’t howl. If you didn’t win this time, it’s simply saving up luck for the next time. Please, the three winners, come on stage to receive your prizes."
As Cheng Yu awarded the prizes to the three, Ji You kept one hand on the hilt of his knife, wary of any trouble that might arise.
The first to appear was Xie Lingzhi, draped in a Star Network vest, still completely dazed and hardly believing that she had actually won.
Thus, in a daze, she collected her prize on stage and walked down just as bewildered.
Ji You, with a stern face, watching Sister Lingzhi rarely showing such a silly expression, felt a slight sense of triumph: [Sister Lingzhi, bet you didn’t see this coming, this is the cheat I activated for you haha...]
The second was the petite Liu Beibei, wearing a hat with its wide brim nearly covering her whole face.
Liu Beibei hung her head, her face flushed, and after receiving the prize, she quietly said, "Thank you."
After collecting it, beneath the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of everyone, Liu Beibei, like a frightened bunny, immediately logged off.
Cheng Yu, observing the two girls who came to receive their prizes, teased with a smile, "Our two lucky geese, both quite shy, aren’t they? Now, let’s invite our third lucky goose to come forward."
The scene grew quiet...
Cheng Yu: "The third one?"
The third luck winner was purely based on luck, without Ji You’s manipulation, and for a moment, even Ji You was curious about who this person was—
Then—
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
The third lucky goose had yet to appear.
Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Is this lucky viewer planning to give up the prize? I’ll count to ten; if you don’t come on stage, it will be considered a forfeiture, and our system will re-select another lucky viewer."
Just then—
A sharp scream tore through the sky, resounding in everyone’s hearts: "Ah—no—I—I’m coming—"
As the words came out.
A short, thin boy with a hunched back, wearing a hat, jumped out, one hand clutching the brim of the hat, only revealing a pair of small eyes, excitedly said: "It’s me! I’m that lucky moth—"
Ji You paused:
That voice—
Sounded somewhat familiar.
