The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 756: Relentless Pursuit

From a farm breeder to a transporter?

On the surface, being a transporter doesn’t sound like a big deal, just moving farm products from an Agricultural Star to another place, right? But—

This destination is no ordinary place! This is the Military Supply Department!

And which Legion corresponds to the Alliance NY50 Planet?

The Sixth Legion!

The invincible Sixth Legion, commanded by Admiral Bai Ji!

Taking a job as a transporter might even offer a chance to sneak a visit to the logistics section of the Sixth Legion! For those aspiring to join the Sixth Legion like Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and Yue Qiguang, this is definitely a fatally attractive opportunity!

So—

The entire Group 44’s eyes widened as big as bell clappers!

Ji You, with her mouth agape asked: "Teacher... are you... serious?"

Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow: "Not willing?"

An expression of sheer ecstasy appeared on everyone’s faces as they shouted in unison: "Willing!"

Yue Qiguang jumped three feet high: "Willing! Hands and feet willing!" Let’s not even mention running a big mission like transporting food to the Military Supply Department, just being able to get out of this damned Cow Farm with these foolish cows makes him a million times more willing.

Seeing this, Mu Jianling’s lips slightly curled up, saying: "In that case, get ready, we leave promptly at 6 AM tomorrow."

People like Ji You responded: "Yes, sir!"

Mu Jianling waved his hand: "Alright, dismiss."

Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement, their hearts pumping as if injected with chicken blood, insanely excited. When Teacher Mu dismissed everyone, and people were just about to slink back to camp to discuss tomorrow’s task, Ji You suddenly asked, "Teacher, tomorrow when we transport farm products, will it just be us going, or will there be others accompanying us?"

As Ji You knew, the distance from Alliance NY50 Planet to the planet where the Sixth Legion’s Military Supply Department is located is not close—a regular passenger spaceship would take about 3 days.

And—

Since it’s a mission, how will the students’ performance be assessed during the task?

Or is it that just successfully completing the mission counts as passing the assessment?

...

Ji You had too many questions, her eyes wide open, looking eagerly at Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow: "What? You guys haven’t been weaned yet? You need me to find some nannies and bodyguards to take care of you?"

"Cough..." Ji You managed a smile, saying: "Look at what you’re saying, Teacher, we aren’t giant babies, there’s no way we would need bodyguards and nannies."

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan and others also chimed in:

"No way!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"There’s no need!"

Mu Jianling said: "If not needed, then disperse."

Ji You cleared her throat: "Cough cough... Teacher... could you... give us a detailed set of assessment rules?"

With detailed rules, we could look into...

The loopholes.

Cough cough...

Mu Jianling glanced at Ji You’s expression and immediately knew what she was thinking. He raised his hand and unceremoniously tapped on Ji You’s forehead, scolding:

"No!"

"It all depends on my mood, and right now, my mood is very bad..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan... all nine people quickly slipped away, leaving only Ji You.

Mu Jianling: "Aren’t you going too?"

Ji You shamelessly put on a smile, cozying up to Mu Jianling with a sycophantic look, "Teacher, what’s troubling your mood? Let me share some of your troubles, huh?"

Mu Jianling: "..."

This little rascal really has a thick face, seriously—

Ji You, observing Teacher Mu’s expression, said: "Teacher, let me tell you a secret, I have a little nickname called ’Pistachio,’ because whenever there’s something unpleasant, just talk to me, and it’ll surely turn delightful."

Mu Jianling’s mouth twitched, saying annoyed: "I think ’Smashed Melon’ suits you better! Want your head smashed open? If not, scram immediately!"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You felt somewhat defeated...

She couldn’t pry open Devil Mu’s mouth, alas!

Ji You hung her head and walked outside, feeling a bit ’dejected’...

Suddenly—

Mu Jianling said: "The mission carries certain risks, prioritize your own and your teammates’ safety, and if necessary, you may abandon the assessment."

Huh?

Ji You stopped abruptly and hurriedly asked, "Teacher, you mean—"

Mu Jianling glared and cursed: "Just scram!"

Ji You knew that she couldn’t pry any more from Teacher Mu, so she stopped bothering her and swiftly prepared to leave.

But before leaving, Ji You thought of a vital issue and, thick-faced, asked: "Teacher, we currently lack sufficient weapons. Will the school provide them or can we procure them ourselves?"

Mu Jianling said: "A batch will be provided before you set off."

Upon hearing this, Ji You immediately felt relieved.

Thus, she didn’t stay a moment longer and quickly ran off.

In less than a second, she was out of sight.

"Wait—" Mu Jianling hadn’t finished speaking yet, and by the time she looked, where could she find Ji You? She couldn’t help but twitch her mouth corner, cursing: "Little rascal, used and thrown away."

She was too lazy to move, originally wanting to take the opportunity to have this little rascal make dinner.

So, Mu Jianling sat down, opened up the portable stove, placed a pot on it, and dumped all the ingredients into the pot, then poured a large ladle of water.

Hotpot, it’s not a sophisticated dish, just a pot of stewed mix.

In a while, a fragrance of food floated from Mu Jianling’s tent.

Biting on the bland low-level nutrition bars, the students’ faces suddenly showed a hint of misery:

Torture.

From afar, Ji You smelled the hotpot’s aroma, twitched her mouth, and said: "Such a waste of good food! Beef and lamb rolls taste best fresh! They need just 3 seconds, she actually boiled them for eighteen minutes!!!"

Regarding eating, no one cared more than Ji You, but now everyone was not in the mood to worry about Teacher Mu’s messy hotpot, as Shen Changqing sternly asked: "Ayuan, have you found out anything? Which places did NY50 pass through on its way to the Sixth Legion’s Military Supply Department?"

Upon Ji You’s return, echoing Teacher Mu’s words, everyone paid close attention.

Teacher Mu mentioned it was quite dangerous, so where could the danger most likely come from?

Everyone pooled their thoughts, concluding that the most likely sources of danger were the places it passed through!

Could it be the dangerous asteroid belts?

Or the wormholes?

Or perhaps the interstellar pirates?

...

Yue Qiyuan and Yue Qiguang’s father, Yue Daolu, as the current executive of the Alliance Military Supply Department, had more insights about the affairs of various Legion’s Military Supply Departments than any others; hence, Shen Changqing had asked.

The whole group fell silent, including Ji You, all turning towards Yue Qiyuan.

Facing everyone’s intent gazes, Yue Qiyuan said somberly: "This area has no specific geographical risks, but—"
