The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 564: The Dangers of the Rag Queen

Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate above 50%!!!

How is this possible?

Those present actually found it a bit hard to believe.

You should know, among all the students of the 131st batch, the highest Spiritual Levels belonged to Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan, both at S-level, and their Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rates were only around 15% previously, with Shen Changqing advancing to 18% now, and Yue Qiyuan at 17%.

Aside from the two of them, the Cleaning Rates of everyone else’s Spiritual Silk did not reach 15%.

Now—

Shen Changqing actually said that the Rag Queen’s Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate had reached over 50%.

Isn’t this shocking?

However—

The words that followed from Shen Changqing made Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, and others reflect deeply.

Shen Changqing said, "A high Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate does not mean that a person’s fine control is strong. The Rag Queen’s strength does not lie in her Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate, but in her fine manipulation."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Before we went to university, we had only driven simulated mecha on the Star Network and had never truly touched a real mech. But since we had practical mecha operation classes, I believe everyone has come to understand the importance of fine control. Until now, many classmates from the Combat Department can barely operate a mecha, let alone use it as freely as one’s own body, including myself and all of you; we can’t do it. Why? Because our Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rates are low. But is that the only reason?"

With a slight sigh, Shen Changqing suddenly raised his head, looked into the distance, and said, "After going to Taoyuan Space Station, I met many seniors, and I realized that my Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate is not weaker than some of them, but when I sparred with them, I would be swiftly defeated within a few moves. Do you know the reason why?"

This point, others empathized with, as everyone had experienced the same.

Shen Changqing said, "It’s the fine control. We are weak in our fine control over the mecha. The seniors at Taoyuan Space Station, even with a lower Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate and only a few thousand or tens of thousands of Spiritual Silks to use, they can apply each one precisely to the point, to just the right position. They can even use one as if it were several."

Everyone was listening intently and contemplating, including Ji You who was also listening seriously, not thinking about interrupting Shen Changqing at all.

In one aspect, what Shen Changqing said was indeed correct; Ji You’s Spiritual Silks could be used as several, or even dozens. Especially when piloting the Mechanical Blade, Boss, Second, Third... each one had to manage hundreds of operation keys...

And absolutely could not make mistakes.

The slightest error could lead to complete failure.

But—

Precisely because the flaw was laid bare here, Ji You also understood more clearly what she needed to overcome and train, so whether it was training in the training room or competing on the Star Network, she was always trying to exercise and enhance her control over each Spiritual Silk. Of course, Ji You initially struggled to find the right method. Later, she realized that each Spiritual Silk had its own personality and strengths, for example, Boss was the strongest but a bit careless and not suitable for delicate tasks, its position was in attack, and you could say it was the main attacker when it came to Spiritual Attacks.

What about Fourth?

Fourth was particularly cunning and shrewd, lazy but had a strong ability to find holes, suitable for scouting tasks. Hence, for any surveillance or precise work, Ji You would hand it over to Fourth, and Fourth had an advantage: as lazy as it was, in order to gain the Master’s favor and attention, it never shirked its duties. Any task given to it would be completed perfectly, which is why Ji You was very reassured.

The most honest, Old Five, was suited for a much wider range of jobs. Whether it was scouting, attacking or creating the fine detail of a Soul Device, etc., any task given to it, even if it lacked strength, would be carried out with diligence.

One could say Old Five was like a brick, used wherever needed.

...

Ji You was reflecting.

Shen Changqing said, "How did the Rag Queen break the Hero King’s Protective Shield of 100,000 points? Because her fine control was meticulous, and her calculations were spot on. So, when I say she is the most dangerous, it’s because what’s formidable about her is not her Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate, but her control."

After finishing this sentence, Shen Changqing looked at Chu Jiaojiao and Sheng Qingyan, saying, "The above is my own judgment, whether you listen or not is up to you."

Neither Sheng Qingyan nor Chu Jiaojiao made a sound.

How could young people not be competitive?

Even someone as idle as Sheng Qingyan did not like to lose.

So——

Both nodded simultaneously, signaling their understanding.

Only then did Shen Changqing feel reassured, saying, "Of course, you may not necessarily encounter her. It all depends on the outcome of tomorrow’s draw. It’s possible that she’s out of luck and faces Little Shengsheng in the first match. If these two most dangerous entities clash, one of them is bound to be eliminated, which would be good for you."

Upon hearing this, Ji You immediately felt unhappy, muttering, "But I think the Rag Queen is very lucky, like a child blessed by fortune itself. Otherwise, why is she the only one with a bye round?"

"I bet she definitely won’t draw Little Shengsheng!" Ji You declared decisively.

Shen Changqing said, "I hope she does draw Little Shengsheng."

Ji You glanced at Shen Changqing and couldn’t help but think:

Look~

The supposedly honest Shen Changqing also has his own little schemes and calculations.

He actually hopes for his own misfortune.

Hmph~

But I won’t let things go his way.

...

After the meal, the group hurried off to clean the horse stables. With a few people working together, it took less than half an hour to finish cleaning. Then, the moment they were done, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, and the others dropped their tools and, without saying a word to Ji You, dashed off in a streak.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You: "Is it really necessary? This happens every day, and I’m not about to shamelessly beg you to help me clean the rabbit shed."

Grumbling, Ji You sighed, an air of melancholy about him, as he entered the rabbit shed.

Next door, Lin Lele was already working. Ji You saw her bending low to clean while periodically reaching out to stroke a rabbit’s fur, looking so leisurely that it made Ji You’s heart burn with envy.

Then——

As soon as Ji You stepped into the area of the shed he was responsible for, the previously frisky rabbits scattered in a flash, hiding in corners and cowering...

Ji You raised his hand to his forehead and said, "What are you afraid of? I won’t eat you."

As soon as these words came out, the rabbits trembled even more...

In the Spiritual World.

Boss: [Master, when are we going to eat rabbits?]

Second: [Can’t wait.]

Third: [Master, give Sisi a timeframe, give us something to look forward to.]

Fourth: [Rather than eating rabbits, Sisi prefers Cloud Mist Tea. Master, after we eat the rabbits, can we continue with Cloud Mist Tea?]

Old Five: [Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit!]

Sixth: [Master, Sixth thought of a new way to cook rabbit today, wanna hear it?]

Ji You raised his hand to his forehead: "..."

It’s over!

It looks like the job of cleaning the rabbit shed isn’t going to get any easier.
