The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 552: Liu Fufeng’s Bean Sprouts

Xiaoqing, who originally had a great chance of advancing, ended up causing a major upset, but!!!

Originally, Ji You thought it impossible for Sheng Qingyan to advance, yet she advanced smoothly.

This——

Ji You raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, feeling it was time to change her opinion of Sheng Qingyan.

Little Cutie, this guy, despite being full of countless annoying habits, is actually very strong.

Then, several more matches took place in the arena, and by the end of the morning, the candidates for advancement were selected!

From the East District, those who advanced include: Little Shengsheng, Fu Feng, Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, Little Cutie, and the Rag Queen who is the Chosen Son, and one more person, to Ji You’s great surprise, turned out to be Hero King!

Speaking of strength, Hero King is nowhere near the likes of Yue Qiguang or Shen Changqing, any random person within the top 20 of East District, such as Lord Mo or Jiang Wu, would be stronger than him!

Yet this guy not only advanced to the finals but also made it smoothly into the next round, hopeful to compete for a spot in the top ten of the Alliance!

Hmm?

Could it be——

Some kind of foul play?

This thought popped up, and Ji You shook her head, feeling it improbable. The monitoring system of Star Network is incredibly strong and secure, and furthermore, if cheating is discovered, the consequences are severe.

Ji You carefully recalled the matches of Hero King and found his approach somewhat similar to Fu Feng’s. His extravagant and wasteful spending of points was even more excessive than Fu Feng’s, only——

Although Fu Feng spent a lot of points lavishly, his strategy was efficient, and his battles ended very quickly, thus his consumption wasn’t too exorbitant.

In contrast, Hero King, whose strength is far less than Fu Feng’s, took about 30 minutes for the entire match, and the huge amount of points spent—Ji You did not even want to calculate for fear of being shocked and becoming resentful of the wealthy.

However——

There’s one thing Ji You can be certain of: the points that Hero King earned through his strength alone could not possibly be that many, so his source of points must definitely be from purchasing them.

...

After watching the morning matches, everyone hurried to the cafeteria to deal with the issue of hunger.

Ji You hesitated at several food service windows...

Chu Jiaojiao asked in confusion: "Ji You, are you not going for the braised pork ribs rice today?"

Ji You approached her attentively: "Jiaojiao, are you planning to treat me to it?"

"Ahaha~"

Chu Jiaojiao scratched her head and said with a hee-hee smile: "Ji You, uh... I need to hurry and get in line, otherwise the pork ribs will be gone."

"Heh—" Ji You snorted coldly: "Fake fan!"

Inside the cafeteria, the aroma of food wafted through the air, among which the scent of braised pork ribs was the most enticing, Ji You’s gaze fixed on the braised pork ribs rice service window, and she found herself unable to move away!

Forget it!

Just go for this one!

She quickly squeezed her way toward it. Then she discovered the queue at this window was a bit... exaggerated...

person.

persons.

persons.

...

Countless heads, and most of them were girls!

Ji You: "???"

At this moment——

"It’s really Crown Prince Ji."

"Oh my gosh~ Crown Prince Ji is serving me food? I can’t believe it!!!"

"Crown Prince Ji is so handsome."

"Cough..."

"Now you should call him Prince Ji, he’s been granted a princely title."

"That’s right, that’s right..."

"I heard Prince Ji’s real name is Liu Fufeng."

"So gentle and soft, just the type I like!"

"Cough... The boys at school, each rougher than the last, our Prince Fufeng is truly a breath of fresh air!"

"If it’s Prince Fufeng, I can do it."

"..."

Ji You squeezed into a gaggle of chirping girls, feeling somewhat out of place...

A fallen prince, poor as dirt—how is he this popular?

Do these girls even know that this guy is so poor that he’s here to dish out meals ahhhh...

Ji You kept a straight face the whole time, listening to a bunch of girls gushing like fangirls, until finally—it was nearly her turn—

Liu Fufeng’s skill at shaking the spoon seemed to have improved again; in less than a few seconds, he served up a 10-yuan rib rice dish and handed it to the girl in front of Ji You.

The girl clasped her cheeks, smiled, and said, "Fufeng, thank you."

Then, with every step she took away, she turned back three times, reluctant to leave.

Watching this scene, Ji You inwardly sighed: A prince in hardship is still a prince, not to mention one with a face that could topple states and bring calamity.

When Liu Fufeng saw Ji You, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Ji You, would you like the braised pork rib rice?"

Ji You, with a stern face, seriously declined: "No! Serve me a portion of stir-fried bean sprouts."

Liu Fufeng seemed surprised by her request and blurted out without a second thought: "Ah? Ji You, are you out of money?"

"Cough..." Ji You glared at Liu Fufeng, her expression unblushing and composed, though her tone was somewhat irritated: "Nonsense! What joy is there to eat meat and fish every day? I’m tired of it, just changing up the taste is all."

Liu Fufeng: "..."

Ji You hurried him: "Come on, be quick with the food."

Liu Fufeng: "Okay."

He started serving the food; the rice was pearly and translucent, heaped into a generous bowl, and Ji You was satisfied with this.

Then—

Liu Fufeng, with a single hand, grabbed the scoop, scooping a big spoonful, heaping...

Ji You was even more satisfied.

Then—

Liu Fufeng’s hand suddenly trembled.

Ji You: "!!!"

Liu Fufeng trembled again!

Ji You: "..."

Before Ji You could compose her twitching face, from the corner of her eye, she saw Liu Fufeng tremble once more!

...

Ji You couldn’t take it anymore: "Enough already, even shaking the spoon when serving bean sprouts????"

Liu Fufeng’s lips curled into a sheepish smile: "Sorry, just got into a habit."

Ji You, with a dark expression: "If I remember correctly, you just started working part-time in the cafeteria yesterday, right? And you’re already in the habit????"

Blushing, Liu Fufeng replied with a quiet voice: "I’m not very skilled yet, I need to practice more to reach the level of the senior students."

Ji You: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Ji You said: "But that doesn’t mean you should lose your mind and start shaking the spoon even for bean sprouts, does it?"

Liu Fufeng explained in a soft voice: "Bean sprouts are slender and each has a clear shape; they are better for practicing the spoon-shaking skill."

After hearing this, Ji You, too exasperated to be angry, pointed to her plate and demanded: "Hand me the plate! And don’t you dare short-change me even one bean sprout! Or else I’ll make a complaint!"

Liu Fufeng, feeling a bit too sheepish to do any more shaking, directly put a full scoop of bean sprouts onto the plate and passed it to Ji You, who finally accepted it with satisfaction.

Then suddenly, Liu Fufeng asked: "Ji You, stir-fried bean sprouts have no grease and are quite bland, they would taste delicious with some braised pork rib sauce!"

Ji You’s eyes lit up, and she immediately handed over her plate: "Give me some."

Liu Fufeng’s smile paused abruptly, saying: "Ah... I forgot, I can’t just give out the sauce."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You: "Heh~"

With a cold laugh, Ji You hugged her plate and emotionlessly walked away from the food service window.

Indeed—

Apart from her Senior Shi Ya, everyone dishing out meals in the cafeteria is a devil!

No!

Worse than devils!
