The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 857: Praise

As soon as Teacher Mu’s words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire room suddenly turned solemn. The students, who had been tormented by the epically terrible tasting nutrient solution, returned their expressions to normal from exaggerated, twisted grimaces of anguish, and everyone straightened their faces, staring at Teacher Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling picked up a crystal-clear wonton, gently put it in his mouth, and said, "Has any of you seen a Level 8 Star Beast with your own eyes?"

The students shook their heads.

Mu Jianling said, "I believe that none of you have experienced it personally, and of course, it’s not something to be proud of. If possible, I hope that none of you will ever have such an experience in your lifetime."

Everyone understood the meaning of the words Star Beast. It represented destruction, devastation, death...

Level 8...

The students remained silent.

Mu Jianling’s voice was very cold, with a chilling edge that cut to the bone, and continued, "A Level 8 Star Beast is already a high-end combat force among the Star Beasts. To kill one, it requires 3-5 warriors with rich combat experience working together."

Everything around was very quiet.

Ji You’s heart gave a shiver: 2 Level 8 Carrion Vultures, Teacher Mu fought one against two, this power...

Senior Brother Han Zheng dealt with a Peak Sea Iron Bull alone.

Baby face Tang Qi, together with Old Chen and my help, took down a more dangerous Level 8 Viper Worm.

...

I encountered some truly awesome warriors.

For a moment, Ji You felt very moved, but at the same time, a sense of ambition and determination rose in her heart: One day, I will also be able to!

Mu Jianling’s voice was very cold, very indifferent, but every word seemed to hit the students’ hearts like a heavy hammer. Mu Jianling said, "Group 44, led by Ji You, successfully escaped from the jaws of a Level 8 Sea Iron Bull, encountered a Level 8 Viper Worm and managed to hold out until rescue arrived, and faced 2 Level 8 Carrion Vultures without panicking... Their mission lasted 11 days, 18 hours, and 24 minutes, and almost every moment was spent hovering between life and death."

As Teacher Mu’s words fell, heavy breathing came from the silent student crowd, and the students opened their mouths wide, only feeling icy air pouring into their skulls...

Previously, when Ji You from group 4444 said this, everyone thought she was bragging, but—

This was said by Teacher Mu himself!

It was true.

It really—

Thinking back to what they were doing at that time? They were playing with mud with classmates on a farm, feeling proud of the slightest progress...

For a moment, everyone put away their playful and defiant looks, straightened their faces, and quite a few students secretly glanced at Ji You, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao... those 10 people.

All of group 44 donned serious expressions, showing a demeanor of being mature and capable: [Now we are the big shots, and big shots should behave like big shots.]

Mu Jianling said, "When the teacher assigned them this task, I thought it was a very simple and non-dangerous task, but as you can see, what they’ve experienced shows something important."

The students didn’t make a sound.

Mu Jianling said, "It shows that even as strong as I, the teacher, am, I cannot predict danger in advance, nor can I appear to rescue them at the first moment. If they had reacted any slower, if they weren’t smart enough, if their skills were any less... the 131st Combat Department would no longer have these 10 people. This isn’t a drill, nor is it a story; it truly happened, and it happened to your classmates around you. Life is like this, full of uncertainty. So, fools, grow up!"

The students straightened their backs.

Mu Jianling looked at the earnest faces in front of him, and his voice suddenly softened: "Don’t consider yourselves as children anymore, don’t see yourselves as students, because every step you take can only be steadfastly protected by yourselves."

The students kept a serious face.

Mu Jianling said, "This muddy road of life needs you to step on it, one footprint at a time, to make it solid and smooth..."

Silence.

The silence lasted just a moment, and then the students suddenly shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Mu Jianling nodded.

Then.

Mu Jianling said, "Start eating."

The students quickly took up their half-bitten nutrient solutions, holding back their nausea, and gulped them down in one go.

Mu Jianling’s fingers trembled slightly, then said, "I mean for you to eat natural food."

Students: "!!!"

Seeing the shocked and bewildered expressions on the students’ faces, Mu Jianling’s mouth subtly curved into a smile, and he said flatly, "Forget it, since you’ve eaten, I guess you’re full. Let’s take these foods away."

"No way!" Led by Ji You, the students opened their hands and collectively shielded their dining tables with their elbows, Ji You shouted loudly, "I can do it!"

"Me too!"

"I’m super capable!"

...

Ji You opened her mouth to show her capability through her actions, as she took a big bite of a whole large pork knuckle and said loudly, "Teacher, it’s time to reveal my hidden secret! Actually, I have two stomachs!!!"

Mu Jianling said, "..."

Ji You shouted loudly, "Please let me finish the delicacies in front of me, I won’t waste a single grain of rice, a drop of oil, a sip of water... If I do, feel free to punish me by making me eat the entire canteen’s food!"

Behind Ji You, Sheng Qingyan also covered his mouth, trying to hold back the urge to vomit the nutrient solution he just swallowed, but helplessly, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "No one... is allowed... to take people’s food away. Who takes it away will make her cry..."

Chu Jiaojiao said, "Report to the teacher, I also have two stomachs, I’m sure my consumption capacity is the best in the Universe..."

Yue Qiguang said, "Teacher, please don’t underestimate us, especially our stomachs."

Shen Changqing stole a glance at the silent service robot standing to the side and quickly grabbed a small piece of cake, stuffing it into his mouth while the food was still there.

Gulu~

It melted in his mouth instantly.

Shen Changqing then picked up another piece.

Gulu~

Sweet with fragrance.

Beside him, Yue Qiyuan noticed Shen Changqing’s little action and followed suit. He raised his head, fixing his eyes on Teacher Mu Jianling, while his hand had already reached out for food, nonchalantly eating it.

Then.

Then Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lance, Lou...

Before long, students all over the place began sneaking food into their mouths, some with desserts, some with meat, some with fruits... The whole canteen turned into a scene full of tension and excitement.

Mu Jianling: "..."

Watching this scene, Mu Jianling couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub his aching temples: this time, all efforts on training against the lure of food, completely went to waste.
