The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 808: Not Stopping

After Old Chen finished cursing, just as he was about to leave, Ji You noticed that Old Chen’s walking posture was slightly unnatural with his right foot leaning forward, left foot turned outward, and his back showing a slight tendency to bend...

It’s hard to notice when he’s walking slowly, but once he quickens his pace, these subtle unnatural movements are immediately exposed.

With today’s medical standards, logically, such external injuries should be easy to treat, even if caused by internal injuries, they can be repaired.

Why not repair them?

Or is it impossible to repair?

Thinking about how Senior Chen Ke’s body and spirit had completely collapsed before, it took him decades of long treatment to recover. Ji You understood somewhat. Moreover, Ji You previously made a reckless move, overloading his spirit to the point of nearly collapsing his Spiritual World. Fortunately, with Teacher Mu Jianling, Dr. Luo Wei, and Principal Hong Jiang working together and spending a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures plus a High-level Soul Device, they narrowly stabilized Ji You’s Spiritual World.

Even with that, Ji You ended up with a third-level disability.

One can imagine how much pain and hardship Senior Chen Ke once endured.

Old Chen took a few steps forward, and behind him, Xuzhou struggled internally for a long time before finally blushing and shouting, "Senior, please stay."

Old Chen: "???"

Xuzhou faced Old Chen’s puzzled eyes, pursed his lips, and somewhat shamefully said, "Senior, could you... could you sign an autograph for me?"

Old Chen: "???"

Xuzhou blushed, saying, "I greatly admire heroes like you, Senior."

Old Chen’s extended foot retracted again. He moved closer to Xuzhou, closely scrutinized him, and then laughed, "You child, you look like an honest person at first glance."

Xuzhou whispered, "I am not honest."

Old Chen chuckled, "Look— it’s written all over an honest person’s face— ’Come and bully me.’"

Xuzhou: "..."

Old Chen raised his hand and enthusiastically patted Xuzhou’s shoulder, laughing, "Don’t worry, I’m a kind old man. Where should I sign?"

Xuzhou was stunned for a moment, then joyfully said, "Can you sign my energy knife?"

Saying this, he quickly retrieved the knife.

It was a Horse-cutting Saber, black-backed, sharp-edged, glinting coldly...it was one of Xuzhou’s commonly used weapons, and also a weapon he was very handy with, accompanying Xuzhou for six years.

Old Chen looked at the knife, smiling, "Not bad, it’s a good knife."

Xuzhou handed the knife over, Old Chen accepted it, immediately took out a pen, and swiftly carved his name on it: [Star Sky Hermit—Chen Ke].

After writing, he handed it to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou accepted it with a face full of joy.

Suddenly—

Old Chen said, "5250 credit points."

Xuzhou: "..."

Xuzhou stared blankly at Old Chen, Old Chen laughed heartily, raised his hand, patted Xuzhou’s forehead, pointing at Ji You, said, "You give it to her."

Xuzhou: "..."

Ji You was also stunned for a moment: "Wow, can you do that?"

Old Chen proudly raised his head: "Mm-hmm~"

Ji You was full of admiration: "Learned something. Learned something."

Xuzhou blushed and said, "Thank you, Senior."

Ji You saw Xuzhou being sold and still helping to count money, and felt hard to describe her mood at the moment. She glanced at Old Chen and said, "You said you don’t bully honest people, yet you’re just picking on honest ones."

Old Chen chuckled.

Ji You immediately said, "But I won’t take money from this honest silly kid. Senior, you’ll have to figure out a way to repay your debt yourself."

Just then, the Eagle Space Station emitted a loud emergency whistle again.

Old Chen heard it and instinctively frowned. Then, he said frankly to Ji You, "All I can do is this. Do whatever you want, alright, let’s go."

After saying that.

Old Chen left briskly without looking back.

Ji You watched his stylish leaving figure, feeling slightly regretful: [Indeed, I’m not a protagonist in a cool novel. Someone like Old Chen should have been the best candidate to give me a Golden Finger. But he reversed the trope, he’s not! Not only is he not, he’s also a shameless old rogue.]

Cough cough...

Ji You straightened her face, stared at Old Chen’s slightly unnatural back, and shouted loudly, "Senior, I’ll keep your debt noted."

Old Chen’s steps paused.

Then.

He hastened his steps, quickly left.

...

After a few more whistle sounds, they stopped, then Ji You and the others saw more Mechanical Warriors inside the space station, piloting mecha through the artificial atmosphere into the starry sky.

Among them, Ji You’s keen ears quickly identified Old Chen’s mecha and Captain Tang Qi’s golden High Star mecha with the baby face.

Ji You frowned.

Simultaneously, more injured Mechanical Warriors retreated back into the space station for temporary rest.

Ji You carefully confirmed and did not see scumbag He Bi’s mecha, suppressing her inner worries, Ji You turned to Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, and others, saying: "Partners, let’s go to the training room."

Instead of staying in the space station worrying for nothing, unable to offer any help and potentially causing trouble, they decided to listen to Teacher Mu’s advice and train diligently at the training base. Hence, Chu Jiaojiao and the others nodded, saying, "Okay."

The group quickly went to the training base, having been here before, they were familiar with it. However, even though they’ve seen it once, stepping into the training ground again and seeing the fierce mecha, everyone still felt unusually excited.

However, unlike the last time they saw them, this time entering the training ground, Ji You and her teammates quickly noticed that the number of mecha here had decreased, at least by about half.

Besides the mecha, the weapons in the armory had also diminished by more than half.

Everyone understood what this meant.

Excessive consumption also proved the battlefield’s intensity.

No one wanted to waste time chatting idly, as soon as they entered the training ground, Ji You found a device specialized for speed training. In this mission, after engaging with the Level 8 Sea Iron Bull and Level 8 Viper Worm, Ji You discovered one crucial fact:

Being able to fight is important.

But!!!

Being able to run is the King’s Way!

Speed equals being able to run.

Being able to run equals survival.

Survival is the crucial skill in staying alive on the battlefield.

Therefore, Ji You is determined to train her speed intensively.

Training room.

Ji You initially used 1x speed, once completely adapted, she increased to 2x speed, then after fully adjusting again, pushed to 3x speed...

Time slipped away bit by bit.

Only when Ji You was completely exhausted did she stop, by now she was so fatigued she couldn’t move at all, she lay limp in the speed training room for quite a while before gritting her teeth and slowly crawling out.

Upon leaving, she glanced around, nobody was there, everything was silent.

Ji You raised her eyes and looked around, finally realizing that her teammates were all still inside their separate training rooms, training alone, not a single person had come out.

Hmm?

If others can persist for so long, why can’t I?

Ji You gritted her teeth and crawled back.

Following Ji You, it was Lou.

Lou hopped out on one foot, seeing that his teammates were still persisting, he grit his teeth and returned inside.

Next.

It was Lance.

It was Zhang Ye.

It was Xuzhou, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan.

Not a single person stopped.
