The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 838: Improv Performance

Ji You: "I estimate that just the two of us won’t be able to handle them, since Yu Yi isn’t as easily fooled as these three idiots lying on the ground."

The corpses on the ground, Harry, Liu Shun, and Huang Ting: "..."

Shen Changqing nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed."

The three idiots were truly angry, but clearly, their anger had surpassed their limits. Everyone thought it’d be better not to see and hear so they wouldn’t be provoked, so they simply closed their eyes and pretended to be completely dead.

Ji You picked up a wooden stick and began drawing on the ground. As he drew, he asked, "The three idiots just mentioned, this is the current map of the distribution of various forces. Take a look, do you want to make any modifications?"

Shen Changqing stared at it for a few seconds, then raised his hand to point to a few spots, saying, "Here, and here, need some slight modifications."

Ji You adjusted accordingly. "Look. Yu Yi’s territory is the largest; their manpower is the fullest, all are tough nuts, and hard to deal with. Next is Jiang Fang’s group, which currently has 7 members. Among them, Jiang Fang is most troublesome, while the rest aren’t a big threat, let Jie and Yue Qiguang handle it..."

Shen Changqing nodded, then thought of a problem, saying, "But, the distance between these groups is too close; as soon as there’s any commotion, other groups will immediately notice, so it’s hard for us to pick them off one by one."

"That’s indeed a problem." Ji You tapped the ground with the stick, casually saying, "Why not eliminate the dangerous groups quietly first, and then lure the other group members out, taking them all down at once?"

The four corpses on the ground: "..."

To say such vicious words in such a calm tone, indeed, beneath the facade of weak chicken 4444 lies a black heart and the soul of a beast.

Then.

Shen Changqing said, "The plan is good, but it’s not easy to deceive so many people to come out." Between each group are competitors; every group must try its best to eliminate others.

Who would be stupid enough to come out and gather?

Ji You pondered for a moment, saying, "Let me think of a way."

"Intelligence gathering is complete; let’s go back and discuss with everyone." Ji You stood up, shook off the dirt, and suddenly—

Crash~

Crash~

Crash~

Harry, lying nearby, unfortunately eating a mouthful of dirt: "..."

Shen Changqing said, "Let’s go."

The two villains dusted off and left directly, leaving behind four corpses on the ground, glaring helplessly...

The place occupied by Liu Shun, Harry, and Huang Ting is on the outermost edge of the entire camp, very remote, and the concealment isn’t particularly good. Ji You and Shen Changqing retraced their steps back to the previous spot where the team was hiding.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan saw the two return, Chu Jiaojiao exclaimed joyfully, "Ji You, you finally came back."

Yue Qiguang glanced sideways, "I thought you two got done in; Dad was planning to lead reinforcements to collect your corpses."

Ji You ignored Yue Qiguang and looked at Chu Jiaojiao, saying, "We need further discussion on the specific plan; Shen Changqing and I think we should first deal with the tough nuts."

Chu Jiaojiao patted her chest, saying, "Leave it to me. In the entire 131st class, there’s nobody I, Chu Jiaojiao, can’t defeat."

Yue Qiguang rolled his eyes, saying, "Dad is still running around alive!"

Chu Jiaojiao looked at him oddly, saying, "Do you really want to experience your brother collecting your corpse?"

Ji You sighed, saying, "Folks, we’ve beaten the level 8 Viper Worms together; that’s enough to brag for a lifetime. Can we be more mature? Steadier? Learn from Shen Changqing? Less bickering, more action."

Yue Qiguang, Chu Jiaojiao: "...Cough cough...Who loves to bicker with such an idiot?"

Next.

Ji You showed the intel map to Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiguang, then asked, "Jiaojiao, you and Yue Qiguang, along with Sheng Qingyan, can you handle Jiang Fang’s 7-member group?"

Chu Jiaojiao said, "Yes."

The other two didn’t speak, but their raised chins said it all.

Ji You said, "Good, it’s up to you."

As he thought, Ji You asked somewhat uneasily, "Five minutes? Can you do it?"

Chu Jiaojiao thought for a bit, saying, "We’re in the shadows, they’re in the open, an unexpected attack—five minutes is viable."

Ji You decisively said, "So it’s settled; you must return in five minutes. I believe in you."

Then, after the group discussed the general plan together, Ji You said to Shen Changqing, who didn’t have a task, "Bring the rest of the support crew back; we’ll act together."

Soon.

The group split up; Yue Qiguang, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan went to stealthily deal with Jiang Fang’s group. Shen Changqing went to bring back Xuzhou, Lou, Lance, Zhang Ye, and Yue Qiyuan who were lurking outside.

Ji You himself stayed put to keep watch for the others.

Soon, Shen Changqing brought Xuzhou and company back to Ji You, and Ji You, shedding his playful demeanor, said seriously, "According to this method, we can only succeed once. If not..."

Everyone’s expression turned solemn.

Ji You said, "No failure allowed!"

Everyone: "..."

Ji You waved his hand, saying, "Let’s go, let’s go."

Then.

They all saw Ji You stood directly, without any precaution or camouflage, openly walked toward the camp, shouting as she went, "Hey! Comrades, I’m back!"

Her voice startled everyone.

Instantly, the silence of the entire camp was shattered by Ji You’s shout.

Just lifting their feet to follow Ji You, Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, Lance, Shen Changqing, and Yue Qiyuan stopped abruptly, their expressions complicated: "Wasn’t it said that just walking into the camp normally would suffice?"

No...

No such thing happened.

That 4444 started improvising again.

Zhang Ye felt a bit uneasy, "Can this...work?"

Lou opened his mouth, "Give it a try?"

Lance said, "Trying might lead to death?"

"Don’t talk about unlucky things." Yue Qiyuan said and leisurely followed Ji You, wondering as he walked, "What’s happening? Where is everyone?"

"Where did everyone go? Didn’t the teacher say the assessment ended?" Shen Changqing followed, his elegant face seriously surveying the surroundings, speaking naturally.

Hearing this, Ji You paused her steps; she looked at Shen Changqing, genuinely shocked!

Shen Changqing has potential! When he said this, not only was the tone extremely natural, but he picked up on Yue Qiyuan’s words and understood their meaning perfectly! Ji You’s sudden statement just aimed to exploit the classmates’ information asymmetry, wanting to bluff, wondering if Teacher Mu had come back yet to deceive these classmates.

Shen Changqing’s words perfectly created more room for Ji You to maneuver.

Indeed—

When an honest man starts deceiving, it’s deadly.
