The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 861: Buying Candy Beans

Mu Jianling showed no mercy and directly scolded, "Get lost, your contract is worthless."

Ji You pulled a bitter face, forcing out a slight smile: "Teacher... Discouraging a student’s will to survive is not a good thing. You should give students more care; they need encouragement to grow."

Mu Jianling lifted her foot and kicked Ji You on the butt: "Encouragement."

In her heart, Ji You had become extremely vigilant, her guard was very tight, yet Teacher Mu Jianling easily kicked her, sending a hard boot on her backside. Rubbing her sore butt, she helplessly thought:

The beautiful wish to thrash Old Lady Mu thoroughly, who knows when it’ll come true?

Just thick-skinnedly tried, didn’t work, Ji You immediately stored the pen and paper into her Space Button. Then, putting away her cheeky smile, she seriously said: "Teacher, I need 30 Candy Beans, please help me find a way. The issue of money, not a problem."

Mu Jianling: "Hmm?"

Ji You said: "No credit."

Mu Jianling didn’t care at all about the money for 30 Candy Beans. This stuff, a small part was her own, and a large part was gotten from Principal Hong. She used it specially to enhance students’ abilities. Principal Hong’s Candy Beans were partly purchased by the school and partly requisitioned from the Alliance Treasury.

As for how he got them? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Mu Jianling didn’t care.

Anyway, just selling face, selling...

What to do when the Candy Beans run out? This problem was also not in her scope of concern.

Ahem ahem...

At worst, let Old Hong sell a few more times.

Anyway, his face isn’t worth anything.

...

Secretly, Mu Jianling thought to herself. She didn’t answer Ji You but instead looked at the other students, loudly saying, "Anyone else needs Candy Beans, come report to me."

Wow~

As soon as she spoke, the students straightened their spines, shouting: "Me!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

Inside the Floating Car, voices reporting one after another, Mu Jianling calmly said: "According to student ID, come up one by one, 50,000 credit points each, with a purchase limit of 30 per person."

This much?

The students’ eyes instantly widened, momentarily unable to believe their ears.

There could be such a good thing?

Suddenly—

Mu Jianling continued: "But, buy as needed, no one is allowed to hoard intentionally."

Students: "Yes!"

Ji You sitting next to Mu Jianling was the first to say: "Teacher, please give me 30 pieces!" Her Spiritual World, the Six Strands were already howling for a long time, but unfortunately, Ji You ran out of Candy Beans, and she couldn’t fulfill their conditions right away.

And—

Maybe because her spiritual power had been overused for a while, every unexpected situation nearly drained it completely. Right now, the Six Strands in her Spiritual World were all wilting and flabby, lying pathetically, even the stoutest Boss was deflated like an empty balloon, shapeless...

The Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth weren’t in good shape either.

At this moment, the Six Strands curled up together, huddling with drooping heads, occasionally listlessly flicking their tails. The Boss, the Second, the Third didn’t make a sound, but the Fourth, like a copier, kept repeating:

[The 1st second without Candy Beans, miss it, miss it, miss it.]

[The 2nd second without Candy Beans, miss it, miss it, miss it.]

[The 3rd second without Candy Beans, miss it, miss it, miss it.]

...

Master, Candy Beans? Between the two, the Fifth couldn’t decide. It tilted its head, pondered a bit, then followed the Fourth’s lead: [The first day Master didn’t bring Candy Beans, miss her, miss it, miss her...]

The Sixth, the shadow, followed the two in front, repeatedly echoing.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You really wanted to pretend not to hear it, but this was her own Spiritual World. She wanted to block out this noise, but unfortunately, she couldn’t do it for now. Moreover, with all the spiritual silk not in good condition, Ji You was uneasy. She needed to know the state of the spiritual silk at all times; otherwise, if something bad happened to any of them without her knowing, she couldn’t even dare to imagine...

The Six Strands were not only part of Ji You’s body but also akin to family in her heart. Though she always complained about the Six Strands, no one cared more for them than Ji You did. Not one of them was dispensable.

As soon as they heard that everyone could buy 30 Candy Beans, the Six Strands immediately perked up, staring hopefully at their stingy master.

Then—

They heard Ji You say, "30 pieces."

The Six Strands wagged their tails in unison, cheering hard: [Master! Master! Master!]

The Boss was frantically wagging its tail.

The Second and Third swept away their previous dejection, spinning around the Spiritual World, spinning... expressing joy.

The Fourth wagged its tail, its head spinning nimbly, spewing flattery like there was no cost, popping out: [Sisi loves Master the most, Master is the best, most beautiful, strongest, cutest, most generous... in the world, unparalleled...]

The Fourth’s sentence was too long, too wordy for the Fifth, it couldn’t recite it, so it caught the main point, shaking its tail: [The Fifth also likes Master!]

The Sixth also felt the sentence was a bit long, trimmed it down, and even more simply, nodding and shaking its head: [Like! Like!]...

...

Watching the spiritual silk regain a bit of vitality, Ji You kept a stern face, looking serious, but inside she was delighted. She casually said to the spiritual silk: "Later, 5 pieces for each, no one is allowed to fight over them."

The Six Strands: [Listen to Master.]

On the matter of food, Ji You wasn’t worried any silk would miss out because, when it comes to eating, these gluttonous strands are each wiser than the other. None of them has truly suffered any loss. Even the honest Fifth, never had its rations stolen.

...

Hearing Ji You purchase so many right away, Mu Jianling raised her gaze, and Ji You immediately straightened her spine, loudly said: "Teacher, you can rest assured, I have just enough credit points, not a single word short."

These Candy Beans made from High-level Butterfly Honey, though specifically subsidized by the school for students, were offered unconditionally only when students performed exceptionally or faced emergencies needing Candy Beans as support. Usually, students wanting to use them would buy at a discounted price.

50,000 credit points per piece was already extremely low, an extremely low price. On the Star Network, the price would be at least ten times higher.

After Ji You finished speaking, the next second, she transferred the payment over.

Mu Jianling saw, indeed not a cent short.

It seemed—

This rascal, picking up scraps, doing various small businesses, she had really amassed quite a bit of money.
