The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 1053: Task Handover

"You must owe some money."

"Even if you don’t owe money, you must have done something."

"Even if you didn’t do anything, you’re really exceptionally short, and they might think how could such a shortie sneak into our mighty, handsome, and cool team?" Yue Qiguang looked at Ji You and said smugly.

Yue Qiyuan chimed in, "That must be it."

Chu Jiaojiao tilted her head, wanting to agree, but considering Ji You’s expression, she hesitated and said, "But I think even if Ji You is short, he’s good-looking short."

Ji You: "..."

Shen Changqing hesitated for a few seconds and wisely kept silent.

Groups of students passed by continuously, and when they spotted Ji You’s group, they couldn’t help but stop and watch for a while... Sheng Qingyan, listening to the discussions within the team, suddenly pouted and said, "Poor dead, why would you think they’re looking at you? They clearly seem to be looking at me! I’m so cute, they must be overwhelmed by my universally unbeatable cuteness and can’t help but stop and stare at me."

Beside him, Liu Fufeng quietly said, "But, I think they’re all looking at me."

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and others: "..."

Sheng Qingyan huffed, "Impossible, they must be looking at me."

Liu Fufeng turned serious, saying, "They probably recognized my identity and are curious about me." As he said this, Liu Fufeng suddenly straightened his back, lifted his head, revealing a face full of delicate, noble elegance, and said, "As the Crown Prince, I’m used to passersby staring."

Ji You added, "Former Crown Prince."

Liu Fufeng: "..."

As they chatted, they ignored the odd glances of passing students and soon arrived at the task hall.

In the task hall, there stood a giant light screen displaying various tasks, including their release times, requirements, rewards, and deadlines...

Inside the hall, all kinds of students moved briskly; after collecting tasks, they left immediately. Once they completed the handover, they didn’t linger, so despite the many students in the hall, it never really got clogged.

Ji You’s group entered the task hall and didn’t linger there but went directly to the task handover area. The teacher responsible for reviewing tasks was from the school’s administrative office, a male teacher in his 40s or 50s named Teacher Lv Liang, who also taught the freshman Moral Education course. Therefore, when Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and everyone else saw Teacher Lv Liang at his desk, they all shouted loudly, "Hello, Teacher Lv!"

Teacher Lv Liang was engrossed in writing, but when he heard them, he looked up and saw the seven of them, then smiled, "Oh—it’s you guys."

As the Captain, Ji You took the initiative and said, "Teacher Lv, we’re here to hand over our task."

With that, Ji You quickly gestured for Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan to bring over the large box they were dragging.

Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan immediately brought the box over.

This box was wrapped tightly, with an internal air circulation system, so they weren’t worried about the Black Thorn Bees inside suffocating. Ji You opened the box in front of the reviewing teacher, Teacher Lv Liang.

One by one, the Black Thorn Bees were extremely lively and vigorous, all struggling to leap out of Ji You’s woven net.

Teacher Lv Liang leaned over for a look and laughed, "Not bad, one by one, they all look very lively."

Ji You quickly smiled, "Teacher Lv, did you see? These Black Thorn Bees are full of vitality. They’re absolutely wild ones, which we caught with great effort. And it’s not just 100 of them; there are 300 here! Can we get extra points distributed among us for the extra 200?"

The task for 100 Black Thorn Bees was Liu Fufeng’s. But Ji You had captured 300 ordinary Black Thorn Bees at once, so he tried to negotiate some extra benefits for the surplus of 200 Black Thorn Bees.

Then—

Teacher Lv Liang said with a smile, "Sure, sure."

All of Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and others’ eyes lit up, and then Teacher Lv Liang continued, "I’ll give Fufeng an extra 2000 points."

Ji You and others: "..."

Ji You quickly asked, "Why not split them among us?"

Teacher Lv’s smile didn’t change, "Because it’s a solo task, naturally, rewards need to go to the individual as per school regulations, and that’s a hard rule."

Ji You and others: "..."

Ji You took a deep breath, plastered a smile on his face, and quickly said, "Teacher, rules are dead, but people are alive. We live in this world and mustn’t be bound strictly by rules. Whether as a teacher or as students, we should strive to break the rules!"

While Ji You spoke, Teacher Lv Liang maintained a kind and gentle smile.

Seeing this, Ji You felt more hopeful and continued earnestly, "You see, the 200 Black Thorn Bees after this task were completed by all of us together. Please, let us all get some points."

Teacher Lv Liang smilingly said, "No way."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You wanted to continue, but Teacher Lv Liang smiled and said, "If you keep wasting my time, I’ll start deducting points."

Ji You was speechless.

Teacher Lv Liang said, "Student Fufeng, come over and register."

Standing in the corner, Liu Fufeng heard this and immediately came over, politely asking, "Teacher Lv, how do I register?"

"Just sign here," Teacher Lv pointed to the signature area, and as he watched Liu Fufeng seriously signing, he complimented with a smile, "Great job on completing the task, keep up the good work next time."

Liu Fufeng straightened his back and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your affirmation, but I must say I could complete the task excellently thanks to my classmates’ help."

Huh?

Liu Fufeng was actually humble?

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and others were a bit surprised.

Then.

The next second, Liu Fufeng said, "I am very grateful to them, but I won’t share any points with them."

Ji You and others: "..."

Facing the speechless expressions of Ji You’s group, Liu Fufeng suddenly pursed his lips, revealing a mischievous smile, and said, "To show my gratitude, I can treat them to a hotpot meal." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and a few others thought, "That’s more like it."

Then.

Ji You completed the task handover of their group mission, which involved the teeth and claws of the Black Gold Rat. Teacher Lv Liang meticulously scrutinized every tooth and claw to ensure they met the task requirements before finally rewarding Ji You’s group.

After receiving the rewards, Ji You’s group decided to head back to the dormitory for a good sleep. Then, they heard Teacher Lv Liang behind them say, "I don’t think you’ll be able to sleep, especially you, Ji You."
