The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 827: Defeated by Schemes

Damn merchants, so heartless.

But!!!

With so many coupons, can we waste them?

No!

These coupons, with enough self-discipline, can definitely get us a free meal.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing... Everyone turned their heads, staring at Ji You, the captain, with eyes full of desire...

Ji You: "..."

Ji You was conflicted.

Then.

Ji You turned to Teacher Mu Jianling, who was standing off to the side with arms crossed, completely uninvolved, and asked, "Teacher... what do you think?"

Mu Jianling snorted lightly: "Don’t ask me, I also have a lot of coupons waiting to be used."

Ji You: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Damn merchants, even tricked Teacher Mu! Ji You gritted his teeth and waved his hand:

"Let’s go!"

Everyone suddenly became excited, Mu Jianling was the first to step forward, striding to ’Haolai’, Ji You hurriedly followed, and the other students all excitedly tagged along.

When Ji You and everyone arrived at ’Haolai’, several waiters were already waiting by the entrance. Upon seeing Ji You and the others, the robot smiled: "Honored guests, welcome back."

Ji You said: "Find us a private room."

Upon hearing this, the robot smiled: "Guests, we are very sorry, the store is full today, all the private rooms are occupied, only the lobby has a few seats left."

So popular?

Ji You glanced over and found that the lobby was already packed. She turned to Teacher Mu Jianling for her opinion: "Teacher, should we switch to another restaurant or sit in the lobby?"

Mu Jianling said indifferently: "If we switch restaurants, how will I use my coupons?"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You was immediately choked up. She never expected Teacher Mu Jianling’s domineering, wicked, and unruly appearance to conceal such a stingy soul.

Ji You opened her mouth and hurriedly said: "Ahem... Then let’s dine here."

Mu Jianling was indifferent.

Then.

When Ji You and the others found their seats, just as they were about to invite Teacher Mu Jianling to sit down first, they looked up to see that Teacher Mu hadn’t followed. She was stepping onto the stairs of a nearby ultra-luxurious private room.

Ji You was taken aback and quickly shouted at Mu Jianling: "Teacher, where are you going?"

Mu Jianling: "To eat."

Ji You pointed to the table and said, "The table is here."

Mu Jianling smiled: "You all sit there. I have a supreme VIP card here, and I can enjoy independent private room service at any time."

Ji You: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ignoring the students’ surprise, Mu Jianling reached out and pushed open the door to the private room, and all they heard was—

Bam!

The door closed in front of all the students.

Silence.

An eerie silence.

...

After a while, Ji You shouted: "Damn it! That’s excessive."

Chu Jiaojiao: "Very excessive!"

Yue Qiguang: "Extremely excessive!"

Yue Qiyuan: "Especially excessive!"

...

Everyone was wide-eyed, speechless, Ji You angrily said: "Teacher Mu enjoys a feast alone, enjoys VIP service alone, yet doesn’t take us along. It’s awful, absolutely awful!"

Ji You suddenly clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and loudly declared: "Classmates, let’s gather to—"

The air suddenly chilled, and Ji You instantly changed her words: "Have a big meal!"

Yue Qiguang rolled his eyes: "Tch."

Ji You looked at Yue Qiguang disdainfully and said: "Tch what tch, dare to shout it out loud?"

Yue Qiguang shut his mouth and started focusing on the menu.

The others didn’t bother with it either, and everyone began flipping through the menu, secretly calculating how to use the discount coupons to get the maximum discount, and Ji You was no exception.

She first looked at the candy menu, selecting the most economical options to use up the discount coupons. Then, she turned to the fruit menu...

After selecting everything, Ji You took a look at the total amount she needed to pay and was suddenly frightened. She quickly reselected, removing some expensive and unnecessary items and retaining only the economical ones.

After the adjustments, the total amount decreased, but she realized there were still a few extremely valuable coupons that hadn’t been used.

Then.

Ji You quickly reevaluated her shopping cart.

...

Several times over, Ji You once again deeply felt the joy and sorrow of a past Double Eleven experience—wanting everything but having no money to buy anything.

At the dining table, there was an atmosphere of endless calculations and constant button-pressing on small calculators, except for Sheng Qingyan. This guy calculated nothing and directly ordered a large variety according to his preferences. Soon, the waiter brought the food to him.

Sheng Qingyan started eating large mouthfuls.

His swallowing speed was fast, finishing one portion after another, and the food in front of him disappeared almost in seconds, yet his movements were not hurried at all, instead appearing with a certain elegant beauty.

Everyone watched Sheng Qingyan, feeling a bit unbalanced, especially Yue Qiguang, who couldn’t help but curse: "You filthy rich!"

Sheng Qingyan took a gentle sip of juice and smiled: "Ah Guang, don’t curse. Cursing won’t get you to eat, after all, you’re poor."

Yue Qiguang’s face darkened: "You’re the poor one, my dad has plenty of money!"

Beside him, Yue Qiyuan: "Pay me back the money you owe me first before eating."

Yue Qiguang: "Ahem... I’m just saying, truly poor."

...

The dishes Ji You ordered began to arrive. ’Haolai’ Restaurant employs a relatively traditional business model—whether it’s serving tea and water, or delivering dishes to the table, the store’s robot waiters personally carry the trays to the customers, so the store has batches of busy robots carrying delicious food, continuously shuttling throughout the store.

The robot placed a plate of steamed hairy crab weighing 150 grams ordered by Ji You, and on its tray was a massive, approximately 1,500-gram large blue crab. Just looking at it makes one salivate.

Then.

The robot turned to leave.

Ji You whispered to Chu Jiaojiao: "Who’s the wealthy person who ordered that? It’s too extravagant!" She was holding the 150-gram crab, after discount coupons and various deletions, it still cost 4,500 credit points.

That 1,500-gram large blue crab, completely natural food, starts at 30,000 credit points per kilo.

Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes were full of envy, then she and Ji You watched as the robot carried the tray straight to Teacher Mu Jianling’s luxurious private room, knocked on the door, entered, and when it came out, the large blue crab was gone.

Not just the large blue crab, but also various exquisite dishes, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water... all whisked away into Teacher Mu Jianling’s private room.

Ji You swallowed: "Teacher Mu is so extravagant."

Chu Jiaojiao’s throat moved: "I really want to sneak in for some food and drinks."

Yue Qiguang glared and said: "Sneak in for what? As long as Dad goes in, just sipping some soup is fine."

"Ahem..." Yue Qiyuan cleared his throat, "Alright, poor folks stop dreaming, aren’t what’s here enough for you?"
