Chapter 1132: Succeeded Once
These small animals, not infected by the Star Beast virus and extremely demanding of their survival environment, have fragile lives. Even with strong spiritual power, compared to humans, they are just delicate little creatures.
Their spiritual power is no match for humans.
As for the small animals with slightly stronger spiritual power, they pose no threat to humans. On the contrary, because their spiritual power is a bit stronger, their resistance to humans is slightly greater, which helps them survive longer.
Cough cough...
Ji You actually thinks that these small animals with stronger spiritual power, more resistance, and tenacious life, actually taste better.
Hmm?
Ji You scratches her chin: "I wonder if that Old Miser Principal Hong would be willing to sell this rabbit?"
Just as this thought popped up, the rabbit, previously eating grass quietly in the surveillance video, suddenly shivered all over. It turned its head, seemingly unable to figure out the source of its chill, but now couldn’t continue eating the lettuce leaf.
Then.
The rabbit threw the partially eaten lettuce leaf away entirely, then darted into the haystack. In the blink of an eye, only half of its tail was visible. As long as it couldn’t see, it pretended nothing would happen.
Ji You stared at the screen, continuing to observe. After about a few minutes, she found the rabbit still hiding in the straw pretending it didn’t exist.
Just a wall away from the rabbit shed, Ji You closed her eyes slightly, still feeling extremely weary as if half of her soul was drained. She didn’t want to do anything or think about anything.
On her shoulder.
A small head popped out from Ji You’s hair. The Little Golden Dragon hummed lightly at Ji You, saying, "Woman, you learned quite quickly this time, didn’t you? Isn’t this the Concealment Technique you’ve practiced?"
Although the dragon used a question tone, it was actually a statement.
"Eh?" Ji You was stunned: "What did you say?"
The Little Golden Dragon rolled its eyes, saying, "Fierce Tiger Skill Ninth Layer."
Ji You: "!!!"
Ji You grinned and said with a laugh: "I didn’t think of it that way. I just intended to use something familiar to the rabbits as an entry point. Originally, I wanted to fake being the caretaker serving the rabbits, but the ones who clean up garbage, feed, and groom them are particularly familiar to the rabbits, so I worried I couldn’t act well enough. Then I thought of something familiar to both the rabbits and myself, a cat."
There’s a cat raised here at the farm, initially a stray that wandered in while foraging, and it settled down in this part of the school without leaving.
Ji You had seen it many times before. On a few occasions, while she was feeding the rabbits, the cat would suddenly dash in, landing at her feet, and after tidying its fur slightly, walk away proudly.
Ji You found it interesting, paying particular attention and observing for a while. Unexpectedly, it came in handy.
The little claws of the Little Golden Dragon twitched, then it suddenly leaped up against Ji You’s cheek, using it as a springboard. It then jumped to sit dominantly atop Ji You’s head, saying authoritatively: "Woman, your learning ability is indeed commendable. Achieving results in such a short time deserves acknowledgment. As encouragement, will you give me a cookie made from natural food?"
"For encouragement, shouldn’t you be giving me something to eat? Why do I have to buy it for you?" Ji You was genuinely perplexed by this, her stingy trait flaring up instantly:
"I have no money."
Ji You said these three words with firm and powerful determination!
The Little Golden Dragon listened with great disappointment, muttering in a small voice: "Even a small cookie would do."
After saying this, it suddenly felt darkness before its eyes and looked up to find a piece of compressed biscuit near its mouth. The Little Golden Dragon was visibly startled but quickly grabbed the biscuit with a flick of its tail.
Little Golden Dragon: "Hmm... the taste is so-so... nothing compared to what the repairman fed me before."
Ji You retorted: "It’s good that you have something to eat at all, and you’re still being picky."
The Little Golden Dragon smacked its lips, eating more quickly.
Ji You lifted her hand, rubbed her temples, and said: "My spiritual power can’t hold up anymore, I need to recover quickly, let’s go back to the dormitory."
Little Golden Dragon said: "Okay."
So—
The human and mecha soon disappeared from the farm.
Left behind in the rabbit shed, Liu Fufeng, entirely ignored by everyone, had a look of helplessness flash in her eyes.
It wasn’t that she forgot her, but deliberately ignored her.
As expected—
When it comes to people, they all treat her this way in the end.
Liu Fufeng lowered her eyes, with a colder light in them.
...
Perhaps because the successful performance of the Concealment Technique in the rabbit shed affected such a large area, enveloping the rabbit shed completely, Ji You was particularly exhausted. For the next few days, she was constantly replenishing her spiritual power.
But replenishing spiritual power isn’t easy, isn’t it? Otherwise, natural food, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Soul Devices, and such expensive items wouldn’t exist for supplementation.
Due to spiritual fatigue, Ji You found herself zoning out and dozing off even during classes, desperately trying to control herself, but couldn’t help it. Consequently, after class one day, Mu Jianling called Ji You over:
"Number 4444 stay behind."
"Everyone else, dismissed."
Upon hearing this, the students stood up in unison, waving goodbye to Ji You. While others spoke seemingly normal, those particularly close to Ji You, like Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, couldn’t hold back. First was Yue Qiguang who loudly said: "Number 4444, idiot, take care of yourself, survival comes first."
"Number 4444, don’t be afraid, if you die, I’ll disperse your ashes." Yue Qiyuan added.
"Classmate Ji You, nothing matters more than your face." Chu Jiaojiao chimed in.
"Poor dead one, you’re already so poor, but I still think you might be hiding some money you haven’t told anybody about. How about secretly telling me how much you have? I’ll keep it safe for you, just for 500 credit points a day, okay?"
Ji You snorted: "Not okay at all."
Then, Ji You stood tall and marched boldly toward Teacher Mu Jianling.
In the entire training room, only Mu Jianling and Ji You remained, facing each other in an empty space. Ji You stood before Mu Jianling, who, instead of sneering at Ji You, suddenly raised her hand gently to tap Ji You’s forehead.
Ji You: "???"
Ji You said: "Teacher, my temperature is normal, I don’t have a fever."
Mu Jianling: "..."
