The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 633: Cliffhanger Bastard!

Ji You suddenly asked Liu Fufeng this question on a whim; she wasn’t intent on getting to the bottom of it. Although Liu Fufeng said he wasn’t the ’Fufeng’ from the Star Network, Ji You didn’t completely believe him, yet she didn’t harbor too much suspicion either.

Even though she had only faced ’Fufeng’ once, Ji You was certain of his remarkable strength. As for his Physical Strength, the engagement was too brief for her to gauge, but his spiritual power was unquestionably strong.

Among the 131st Combat Department, the two students with the strongest spiritual power were Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan. Ji You often interacted with them, having fought numerous times on the Star Network, and was extremely familiar with both of their spiritual powers and strategies. Therefore, she was certain ’Fufeng’ was neither of them, and—’Fufeng’s spiritual power was even stronger than Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan’s.

Who was this person?

Did the 131st Combat Department really have someone with such powerful spiritual power?

Now that the term was nearly over, from the freshman drills to daily training, Ji You felt she was either very familiar or at least had a rough understanding of the students in the entire 131st Combat Department. Unless someone, like herself, had Mutated Spiritual Power and had hidden this fact, she really couldn’t figure out who ’Fufeng’ could be.

Just because Ji You couldn’t guess didn’t mean Teacher Mu Jianling was in the dark. Since Teacher Mu didn’t disclose the person’s identity either, perhaps—there truly were some special circumstances that required keeping the information hidden for now.

...

With this thought, Ji You stopped dwelling on who ’Fufeng’ really was.

But then again—

Didn’t Dr. Luo say that Mutated Spiritual Power was one in a hundred million chance? Her own half-crippled type of Mutated Spiritual Power with only Six Spiritual Threads was an outlier among outliers, extremely rare...

Yet—

Our Combat Department actually had another person with Mutated Spiritual Power, this—

Wasn’t this becoming too commonplace?

Was Mutated Spiritual Power so devalued that two appeared just within Lanyue Star’s modest 131st batch of Freshmen?

Cough cough...

Unable to make sense of it, Ji You decided to stop thinking about the matter.

On this side, Ji You didn’t press further, while Liu Fufeng continued to lift an oblivious face, his gaze unfocused, seemingly staring aimlessly in one direction, lost in thought...

At this moment—

There were about 5 more minutes before the official acting assessment, and the whole training room was still filled with the sound of a melodramatic TV series, making Ji You almost doubt if she were in a training room or at a tea table crowded with gossiping aunts.

"Mo Feifan..."

"You’ve gone too far..."

"Mo Feifan..."

...

Listening to the constant barrage of scumbags, mistresses, and scorned exes yelling, arguing, and confronting each other, Ji You’s scalp tingled as finally, about 3 minutes before the assessment, Mu Jianling, hands behind her back, strolled into the training room leisurely.

However—

Hearing the melodramatic sounds echoing in the training room, the usually composed Mu Jianling suddenly paused her step, momentarily thinking she had walked into the wrong place. She discreetly glanced up, checking the layout and the faces of the students, and after confirming she hadn’t made a mistake, she continued with measured steps and an unresponsive face to stand at the podium.

As Mu Jianling approached, the students who had been cramming last-minute preparations lifted their heads, watching Teacher Mu Jianling with trepidation.

Mu Jianling casually glanced at the hanging clock displayed on the Light Computer screen and said indifferently, "The assessment will start in 3 minutes. Continue."

The students: "..."

Ji You’s face: "???"

Sure enough—

Deservedly Teacher Mu Jianling, she’s seen the world indeed. Confronted with such a scene and yet she could stay so unruffled, even encouraging students to continue watching the TV series?

Ji You was full of admiration from the bottom of her heart.

Then—

Originally, Ji You felt that watching such melodramatic dramas was unreliable, but all of a sudden, she dashed next to Chu Jiaojiao and fixated on the "Ex-wife’s Temptation" on her Light Computer, hastily saying, "Jiaojiao, make some room, let me watch too."

Chu Jiaojiao moved aside slightly, letting Ji You squeeze in to watch together.

The main reason Ji You mooched off Chu Jiaojiao’s Light Computer to watch this melodramatic drama was that she was poor and reluctant to spend credit points to buy it. The drama may be incredibly melodramatic, but the viewership on Star Network was significant, and it was pay-per-view, costing 5 credit points per episode.

Cough cough...

Even a mosquito is still meat; save a penny where you can. After today, Ji You wouldn’t continue to follow the series, so she simply decided to mooch off Chu Jiaojiao’s device.

Inside the Light Computer.

The male lead Mo Feifan, that major scumbag, continued to lower Ji You’s expectations...

After the mistress was kicked out by the scumbag, she couldn’t take it lying down and came to seek trouble with the ex-wife, but she was easily dealt with by the ex-wife. The mistress left with a threat, "You stole my man; you will get your karma. Little did she know, a man who could be stolen by you, will be stolen by another vixen, just you wait!"

The ex-wife’s eyes grew sharp. How familiar these words sounded. Once, she had said the same to the mistress, but what did the mistress say? The mistress had said, "If you can’t keep your man, it’s because you’re not capable."

Now, these words, she could finally return them to the mistress verbatim.

The ex-wife was inwardly pleased, and so curved her lips, saying: "If you can’t keep your man, it’s because you’re not capable."

...

Seeing this, Chu Jiaojiao slapped her thigh hard, exclaiming, "Well done, ex-wife! This kind of mistress deserves to taste the own medicine! But!!! Even though the mistress is wrong, the scumbag is the worst offender. If I were the ex-wife, would I let the scumbag and mistress play their games? I’d have killed the scumbag straight away, and as for the mistress, with the scumbag dead, would she dare flaunt in front of me?"

As she spoke, Chu Jiaojiao was still not satisfied, mumbling and grumbling, "A problem that could be solved with a punch has to be dragged out in such a messy, sticky way, stretching out to so many episodes!"

"Cough cough..." Ji You coughed fiercely: "You’re the greatest, why don’t you just become a scriptwriter. If you were a scriptwriter, whoever dared to fund your drama would definitely lose everything, even their underwear."

Hearing Ji You’s critique, Chu Jiaojiao grinned ear to ear, but her eyes were still glued to the Light Computer screen, not missing a single moment of the melodrama. Just then, it was playing the part where the ex-wife was about to punish the scumbag Mo Feifan...

Then—

Three large characters appeared:

[End of Episode]

Ji You was stunned: "Damn! Cliffhanger much?! How hateful!!! Jiaojiao, hurry, hurry, start the next episode."

Chu Jiaojiao also wanted to quickly watch the next episode, so her movements were swift, immediately paying and purchasing the rights to the next episode.

Only—

Just as she finished paying, suddenly, Teacher Mu Jianling at the podium said, "Time’s up, everybody stop."

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao were stunned: "Damn!!!"

They were just getting into it!
