The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 1254: Ji You’s Request
"Watching those foolish, naive people get deceived, I really think—"
"Bald head."
"Headache."
"Scalp tingling..."
"There have been enough victims already, just how many more need to appear before these idiots realize they’ve been duped?"
"Cough... don’t call the people in the venue idiots, if it were you, do you think you could escape it?"
As soon as this comment popped up, the screen went silent for a second. A whole second of silence, the screen where Ji You was was clear, not a word or an emoji... After a second, someone finally spoke, saying, "I have to say something fair, it’s not that they’re too stupid, it’s that the scammers are too cunning."
"Right, those scammers are just too sneaky, I think if you give her a mouth, she could deceive until the end of this match."
"You’re underestimating her, I think she could deceive until the league ends."
"Agree."
"Agree + ID number..."
"The main thing is, not only is this scammer’s technique superb, she’s also bold and daring. Look, would you dare to stroll around alone in enemy territory? She would. Not only does she dare, she even takes the enemy for a walk, getting them to help her scam others."
"Speaking of this, I really admire her. Li Yun and Bai Hui from the enemy camp are like fighter jets among fools, accompanying her to deceive and map out the area... now, they’re being spun around by her a few words, I bet even when they die, they’d still be grateful to her."
"Foolish."
"Really foolish."
"Thought of Xia Bingbing..." At this moment, someone mentioned Xia Bingbing, who was eliminated by Ji You, triggering a wave of inexplicable schadenfreude among many.
"Exactly, that Xia Bingbing who died miserably, aren’t Li Yun and Bai Hui just the same now?"
"By the way, is Xia Bingbing still following the match after being eliminated?"
"She’s definitely still following."
"I bet she’s staring at the screen right now."
Simultaneously, Xia Bingbing was staring at the screen, reading these words, her eyelid twitched and suddenly felt a bad premonition, sure enough, before she could say anything, she saw the screen flooded with the same sentence:
"Xia Bingbing, are you there? Speak up."
...
In an instant, the entire screen was filled with this one teasing sentence. Xia Bingbing’s lips twitched, she tried to hold back, but couldn’t, and angrily typed:
"I am Xia Bingbing’s roommate, she’s not watching the match, she’s already asleep."
Off-screen: "..."
Immediately, comments like snowflakes drifted down:
"No roommate out of nowhere, learnt it."
"Hahaha..."
"Xia Bingbing’s roommate, please tell her, sleeping won’t solve the anger, get up and watch the battle, you might see someone worse off than you."
"Xia Bingbing, don’t be mad, the enemy is too cunning, you didn’t die undeservedly."
"Xia Bingbing, don’t be mad, because even if given another chance, you’d still be deceived, hahaha..."
...
Seeing this, Xia Bingbing’s lips twitched again, trying to hold back, she simply turned off all the comments and messages, muted them, making it thoroughly quiet.
Then, a close-up of Ji You’s face appeared on the screen.
Ji You’s face, fair and tender, seemed you could pinch out water...
Ji You’s eyes, dark and bright, seemed to carry a soft glow naturally...
Ji You’s mouth...
Cough!
That mouth can’t be listened to!
Xia Bingbing instantly clenched her fists, she swore, once Ji You is out of the match, she’d definitely give her a good beating!
**
Inside the venue.
Ji You’s impassioned speech made the students present, regardless of gender, feel emboldened and fervent like they’ve been injected with adrenaline! Ji You didn’t doubt for a moment that if an enemy approached now, upon her command, these innocent students would rush forward to fight.
Alas!
Sometimes being innocent, is definitely not a good thing.
Many little thoughts swirling in her mind, Ji You maintained a stern and serious demeanor, as she looked at the leading male student, a hint of embarrassment finally crossed her face, saying, "Classmate, there’s something I’d like to ask you."
The male student patted his chest with confidence, saying: "Ji You, just say the word."
Others were also looking at Ji You, showing no doubt about her intentions.
"Since we’re all allies, fellow fighters, I won’t hold back." Ji You seemed to weigh her options, finally making up her mind, she suddenly drew out the Horse-cutting Saber from her back and thrust it into the soil, saying, "This weapon was compensated to me by the system, but it’s not quite handy for me, I’d like to exchange it with something from your side, is that okay?"
This Horse-cutting Saber was exchanged with Liu Jia at the time. The saber is particularly sharp, able to cut through ordinary iron items in one strike. Honestly, Ji You really likes this Horse-cutting Saber, but at this moment, she has no choice but to give it up, using it as a tool to probe the enemy’s military base weapon reserves.
The male student was slightly stunned, saying: "Is the Horse-cutting Saber not suitable? What weapon would you want to exchange it for?"
Ji You pointed at her small frame, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, saying: "The system’s settings are baseless, with my slender body, how could I be good at close combat? This Horse-cutting Saber allotted to me is really unsuitable."
After a slight pause, Ji You continued, "I’m skilled in long-range attack, if you have guns, or other sniper-type weapons, that would be ideal."
"Gun?"
"Long-range weapon?"
"Hmm—" The male student bowed his head, pretending to think, in fact weighing options in his heart... He was stationed at a place which was a military base, one of 10 setups of Camp 6...
The most important thing here, is the weapon reserve. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Long-range weapons?
Of course they exist.
However, these are the base’s reserve weapons, it’s not anyone’s call to decide privately. An individual like the leading male student couldn’t just make his call to distribute the weapon. Besides, he was leading 20 classmates guarding here, the most crucial duty was to secure equipment within his territory.
The male student showed a very hesitant expression, Ji You instantly knew his internal dilemma, thus, Ji You immediately very understandingly said: "Classmate, don’t overthink it, this Horse-cutting Saber is actually a very good weapon, excellent for charging into battle."
The male student furrowed his brow, saying: "But you’re not skilled in close combat."
Ji You sighed, with a tone of regret, saying: "It doesn’t matter, I plan to get rid of an opponent, and then switch to a weapon from the ones I seize that better suits me."
After speaking, Ji You spoke seriously to the students guarding the few military bases led by the male student: "Classmates, take care, until we meet again!"
Turning around, Ji You started to leave.
She had barely taken two steps, when she heard a loud shout: "Wait!"
