The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 1007: Truly Penniless

Xiao Liu saw Ji You coming over, his pale face with a hint of blush, facing Ji You’s bright eyes, he said seriously with a straight face, "Classmate Ji You, Captain Ye has already assigned me the task of escorting you from here on out. If you need any help, just let me know."

Ji You loudly responded, "Got it, Senior Liu."

However, even though his face looked rugged, his skin was too tender, too pale, so just by looking at his face, he seemed like a boy who hadn’t yet shed his youthful air. But his eyes were deep and dark, as if they’ve been through countless hardships... The overall feel was quite contradictory, Ji You almost blurted out ’Brother Liu’ earlier but managed to hold back.

Xiao Liu suddenly asked, "Do you think my face looks a bit strange?"

Ji You quickly said, "No... no... I just think your skin is exceptionally good, uh... do you use skincare products regularly? Which brand?"

Xiao Liu couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "No... this skin of mine was re-grafted after being burned all over, it hasn’t fully grown back yet, so it doesn’t quite match my demeanor. I’m actually a very tough guy, how could I possibly use girlish skincare products?"

Burned all over...

How painful must that be?

Ji You, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... the few of them listening, all felt a chill down their spines. Yet, Xiao Liu spoke so casually about it, all at once, the way they looked at Xiao Liu was filled with even more admiration.

"Haha..." Xiao Liu was a bit amused, he raised his hand, scratched his head, the smile on his face looked very honest, and said, "This hair of mine was also just grafted. Back then, all my skin tissues died, especially the scalp was in the worst condition, almost couldn’t graft successfully. Luckily, it did succeed, otherwise, my girlfriend would have killed me when she saw it. She loved to tug at my hair."

Ji You: "..."

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and the other boys: "Farewell!"

Taken by surprise with a mouthful of dog food, unbelievable...

Yue Qiguang thought about it and still couldn’t let it go, couldn’t help but say, "You actually have a girlfriend?"

Xiao Liu proudly said, "Of course I do, back then it was my girlfriend who pursued me actively."

Yue Qiguang was extremely shocked: "Impossible! How can that be! You’re definitely lying to us, aren’t you?"

"Ahem..." Ji You cleared her throat and said, "Kid, where do you have so many question marks! Hurry, let’s pick out some things and go back to heal." Having temporarily stopped the bleeding after treatment in the repair cabin, Ji You, whose face was still pale, felt a bit breathless when saying more words now...

From the incident till now, Sheng Qingyan, who had been a bit silent, watched Ji You slightly sway, suddenly reached out to hold Ji You steady, and said softly, "Poor dead oh... remember, oh... I’m not intentionally supporting you, oh, just my hand accidentally held you, oh."

Saying this, Sheng Qingyan’s pretty face looked a bit uncomfortable.

Ji You quickly said, "I know, it was your hand that deliberately held me, you’re not actually worried that I’d fall, right? Don’t worry, don’t worry, you’ve explained it once, I understand now, not only is Spicy Eye you spicy on the eyes, but you also care about people."

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

Beside them, Shen Changqing whispered, "There are a few small stones on the ground, you two don’t just talk, watch your steps."

Ji You laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not blind, you want to bet I could even do a dance now?"

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Liu pointed at the things left behind by the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group and said, "The Captain instructed that the items inside are for you to pick."

Five Space Buttons were quietly placed on a specially made workbench.

Ji You took a deep breath, feeling that mysterious attraction becoming clearer as she approached the 5 Space Buttons.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

...

Confirmed, it was the Space Button with the largest space in the middle.

Ji You asked, "Whose Space Button is this?"

Shen Changqing explained, "It’s from the boss of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group, Ying Tu." At that time, it was Shen Changqing in charge of searching the body, and although these Space Buttons had no visible identity marks, he remembered this was Ying Tu’s. Ying Tu had it hung around his neck, wrapped in a protective film and kept close.

Ji You turned to Xiao Liu and asked, "Senior Liu, can we take the stuff out of the Space Button and choose piece by piece?"

Xiao Liu, slightly disappointed for not being able to continue feeding dog food, nodded and said, "You can, pour them out."

Ji You poured out Ying Tu’s Space Button—

Instantly, a pile of messy stuff rolled out, almost blinding Ji You and others, dark ores, dried firewood, a few sticks of low-level nutrient solution... cluttered materials...

Three words summed it up: Dirty! Messy! Poor!

That’s right.

This Ying Tu was a poor guy, from top to bottom, not only couldn’t find a single Credit Point, but the mix of materials was diverse, poorly handled and stored, many were moldy, smelly, and rotten.

Ji You felt her heart twitch uncontrollably.

Quoting Professor Ye Hong’s words, "Materials handled wrongly are worth nothing."

The materials from Ying Tu’s Space Button, each item could be worth several tens of thousands of Credit Points, but... already completely ruined, simply... Ji You lamented angrily, "Fool! Fool! Such good materials, even if you can’t process them, you didn’t even know to buy some specific containers for storage."

Yue Qiyuan said, "As an interstellar pirate, he probably had no idea what he was robbing, why are your expectations so high?"

Ji You held her chest, "These are all mine! Mine! My money!"

Everyone ignored Ji You and moved towards the table to focus on selecting their desired items, but this Ying Tu was so poor and shabby, even for food, he had only a few nearly expired sticks of low-level nutrient solutions... calling him a ’poor dead’ was an injustice, they picked through everything and found there was hardly anything worth selecting.

Ji You carefully reviewed everything, finding that the mysterious pull weakened once the contents of the Space Button were out.

What’s going on?

Ji You found it odd, but still meticulously picked up all of Ying Tu’s stuff, examined thoroughly and realized that feeling seemed to have vanished just like that.

No more feeling at all.

Ji You wrinkled her brow: [Could it be, I was mistaken, it wasn’t Ying Tu’s Space Button, but another person’s?]

With this thought, Ji You looked at the other Space Buttons and found, indeed, there was no feeling, that mysterious attraction had seemingly disappeared entirely.

Ji You felt a bit frustrated.
