The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 704: Destination
CHAPTER 704: CHAPTER 704: DESTINATION
Although slightly relieved, Ji You never relaxed her vigilance, nor did she allow her teammates to slack off.
The whole team maintained their speed, and after about 10 minutes, when no abnormalities were found, Ji You finally let down her guard.
Then.
As soon as the alarm was lifted, Ji You immediately received a message from Teacher Mu Jianling:
[What happened? Are you still alive? The signal was abnormal just now, I just received it.]
Ji You: "..."
Ji You’s face was black as pitch!
What is this supposed to mean?
She seriously suspected that Teacher Mu did it on purpose!
Absolutely!
Then, Ji You’s eyes narrowed as she saw the message she sent to Teacher Mu had been read 10 minutes ago.
This—
Lying without a draft, finding excuses without any credible ones.
Really—
Ji You rolled her eyes and pointedly said, "Teacher, that’s a bit unfair! It clearly showed that you viewed the message 10 minutes ago."
"Cough cough..."
Mu Jianling coughed awkwardly and said sternly, "Alright. I’ll be fairer next time."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile, asking, "Teacher—uh—that—just now our team struggled to race with the Star Beast, look, we weren’t injured nor fell behind, shouldn’t our assessment score be increased a bit?"
Mu Jianling suddenly raised his voice, "What? What? I can’t hear you, still can’t hear you! The signal is broken."
"What a crappy signal," she muttered in complaint.
Click—
The communication was disconnected.
Ji You: "..."
Ji You was furious!
Intentionally!
This was blatantly intentional!
Damn it!
In this world, there couldn’t be another person more infuriating, more unreasonable than Teacher Mu Jianling!
Damn it!
One day, with a knife in hand, she must teach him a lesson in a sack!
Ji You made up her mind secretly in her heart!
Meanwhile.
Before hanging up the call, Mu Jianling had already heard Ji You’s teeth-gritting voice from the other end, and thinking of that scene, a rare smile appeared on Mu Jianling’s typically indifferent face.
After smiling.
Mu Jianling nodded slightly: "These idiots aren’t that stupid."
Everything that Team 44 encountered just now was under Mu Jianling’s watchful eye, how could she possibly not notice?
Even—
The fact that Ji You’s team encountered this Star Beast was because Mu Jianling had prior knowledge of this Star Beast’s information and she deliberately altered a bit of the route to let Team 44 discover it.
The purpose, of course, was to test this group’s adaptability.
Thinking of Ji You and the others’ performance, Mu Jianling smiled again before resuming her stern expression and muttered to herself, "Not too bad."
Young people, what they have in abundance is spirit, not only do they have spirit, but they are also naively romantic.
Especially young people of Ji You’s age, it’s not too much to say the young calf is not afraid of tigers.
Faced with such situations, they’re the most naive and romantic, filled with optimistic thoughts, filled with thoughts like "I’m the best in the world, I’m the peak of the universe" etc...
On the other hand.
Ji You and Teacher Mu’s conversation was heard by Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao...
Everyone listened silently.
After a second.
Yue Qiyuan said, "I knew this was a test! All that sudden signal issue and not receiving messages, all excuses!"
Lou: "Right! Just excuses!"
Lance let out a breath and said, "Looking at it this way, our performance just now should have passed the assessment."
Ji You’s eyes were fixed on the front, always vigilant, and upon hearing this she couldn’t help but clear her throat and said in a serious tone, "Everyone, there is something I must tell you."
As soon as Ji You spoke, the group communication quickly silenced.
Ji You said, "I hope that in the coming time, no one will treat it as just an assessment anymore! Because it is not just an ordinary final exam, but also our experience! It is our first step officially entering the starry sky!"
"It’s also the first battle of our career as Mechanical Warriors!"
With every word from Ji You, everyone’s breathing became slightly heavier!
Indeed.
Treating it as an ordinary assessment is to waste this experience.
In an instant, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Yue Qiyuan, including the somewhat restless Yue Qiguang, everyone’s heart calmed down!
Ji You calmly said, "So, don’t take it as an assessment anymore, no matter what happens, we need to be spirited up, show all our abilities, and fight a beautiful battle!"
"Do you have the confidence?"
Suddenly—
Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Ji You smiled, her lips slightly curved up: "Guys! Let’s speed up and move forward—"
The team continued to proceed in an orderly fashion.
Ji You’s speech had completely aligned the team’s mentality.
A few minutes later.
Mu Jianling said, "All slow down and prepare to break through the atmosphere."
Upon hearing this, all the students instantly got energized!
This meant, they had arrived at their destination.
Soon.
Within the students’ field of vision, it was no longer entirely dark; a bright light appeared in front.
Gradually.
A green planet appeared in front of everyone!
This is?
Then, some changes also appeared along the trajectory, with visible man-made traces, and several transport ships appeared on the route.
Without waiting for the students to express their doubts, Mu Jianling said, "Prepare to enter the docking port."
The students instantly perked up.
Mu Jianling was the first to pilot her Mecha and plunge into the planet’s atmosphere.
The students following her didn’t dare to delay and rushed in.
Ji You, the last squadron, was also ready.
Yue Qiguang frowned and said, "What’s going on? Aren’t we going to a military training base?"
Chu Jiaojiao stroked her chin and said, "This looks like an agricultural planet."
Yue Qiyuan: "Cough cough... it’s indeed an agricultural planet, didn’t you see those transport ships? They’re all loaded with wheat!"
Beside him, Sheng Qingyan spoke out faintly: "There, there’s also a transport ship and I guarantee they’re all loaded with pigs... I can even smell the stink of pigs."
Yue Qiguang irritably said, "What the hell? Dad has come all this way to raise pigs?"
Others: "..."
"Cough cough cough..."
"Ptui ptui ptui..."
"Children speak without taboos!"
"Children speak without taboos!"
...
While the group was still frowning, Shen Changqing’s clear voice rang out, "This planet, located at the junction of the Sixth and Seventh Star Systems, is an agricultural planet, mass-producing rice, flour, potatoes... as well as pigs, cattle, sheep..."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone said unanimously, with one voice: "Shen Changqing, stop talking, my heart can’t take it."
Shen Changqing said: "This is written in the official geographical records, I’m just reading it word for word."
Everyone: "..."
"Cough cough..." Breaking their discussion, Ji You sternly said, "Our destination is there! It’s about raising pigs! Chickens! Cows, and we all have to accept it!"
"Stop dawdling!"
"Let’s go!"
Ji You was the first to rush into the planet’s atmosphere.
