The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 885: Low-level Peak

Upon hearing what Fourth said, Ji You glanced at Fourth, who immediately wagged his tail enthusiastically at Ji You: [Master, Master, Sisi really likes you!]

Ji You rolled her eyes: [I think you might like Candy Beans more, right?]

Fourth: [...]

Fourth strongly denied: [No, that’s not true.]

Ji You suddenly asked: [If I’m drowning with Candy Beans in the water, who would you save?]

Fourth: [...]

Fourth didn’t hesitate at all and replied straightaway: [Of course, I’d save Candy Beans!]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You glared at him: "You’re really open about your feelings, huh."

Fourth suddenly displayed a serious face, looking incredibly solemn: [Because I know Master can definitely protect herself, so Sisi chose Candy Beans.]

No one really cared whether this explanation was true or false; both Ji You and the other silks weren’t very concerned. Regardless, Fourth’s previous slick words could be trusted but not believed. Ji You and Boss were more curious about what Fourth had said earlier. Ji You asked: "You just said making a Soul Device is just a random task?"

Fourth: [That’s right.]

Ji You turned to Old Five and asked: "Old Five, is that the same for you?"

Old Five looked a bit puzzled, thought for a moment, and replied: [I suppose so? Old Five doesn’t remember. Every time Old Five treats the array diagram as a playground, just plays around and comes right out.]

Ji You: "..."

Taking the serious task of creating soul devices as a game, just playing for a while and then coming out, this...

If the other masters of soul device creation knew about this, they’d definitely beat up Old Five fiercely! Everyone else spends a tremendous effort just to try their luck to make one or two soul devices, while Old Five is here just playing around?

Ji You’s face slightly twitched as she said: "You two are really something different. Why don’t Boss, Second, Third, or Sixth succeed?"

Boss was confused: [I started just randomly too.]

Fourth: [Your strength is too great.]

Boss: [But I’ve already controlled it?]

Fourth: [Simply controlling isn’t enough, even if you control, you’d still be a gigantic fireball, ready to ignite!]

Boss: [???]

Ji You furrowed her brow and said: "Fourth, are you saying Boss’s individual strength is too strong to perform such delicate work?"

Upon questioning this, Boss also became interested, raising his head constantly and staring at Fourth and her Master...

Fourth: [That’s right. This soul device is just low-level, Boss’s strength is too strong; no matter how you control, it won’t work unless it’s a high-level soul device.]

Boss: [...]

Boss wasn’t pleased and insisted on trying again: [I can definitely do it; I can exert the greatest strength, and also the smallest strength!] Boss is a silk with great ambition for becoming strong and pursuing strength.

Ji You’s eyes brightened: "Fourth, are you saying Boss should try creating a high-level soul device?"

Upon hearing this, Fourth nodded vigorously: [That’s right, that’s right...but, high-level soul devices are really difficult. Success requires the Master to sincerely nurture and love us, train us, and always feed us Candy Beans, milk tea, and high-level food...only then might it work.]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You wanted to ignore this.

Fourth, trying to be smart, as if afraid the Master didn’t hear, wagged his tail: [If the Master doesn’t feed us, we’ll never be able to create high-level soul devices.]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s face darkened; it didn’t matter whether Fourth was being clever or not, Ji You knew this must be true. Without the advancement of spiritual silk, high-level soul devices would remain a dream forever.

Upon Fourth’s declaration, the other silks also nodded in agreement: [Master, you have to love and train us~]

Fourth earnestly wagged his tail: [Sisi is easy to care for; Sisi isn’t greedy; just a, no, 5 Candy Beans a day will be enough.]

Ji You raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Fourth suddenly felt a bit regretful, thinking it should’ve been at least 10 a day, so he nodded vigorously: [That’s right, that’s right, Sisi just remembered incorrectly before; it should be 10 Candy Beans a day.]

Ji You was slightly speechless, directly gesturing with her hand: "I can’t afford to raise such pampered little ones, that’s enough."

Fourth: "..."

Fourth was just regretting when Ji You turned to Boss and said: "Try again, if it’s still not working, we’ll let the other silks try."

Boss nodded.

Everything was ready; Ji You discarded the ones that were ruined and continued using the new alloy steel block, Boss also cooperated with Ji You, this time letting go completely, not controlling his strength at all, and then, they heard a loud bang; the soul device prototype turned into ashes.

Boss drooped his head, feeling very downcast: [Master, it still didn’t work, let Second try.]

Ji You looked at the dejected Boss and said: "Don’t be upset, we excel in fighting, let Old Five and Fourth handle these tasks."

Boss: [Mm!]

But in his heart, he silently vowed: Not acceptable! As the strongest, I must excel in all aspects.

Next, it was Second’s turn, and Second’s performance was similar to Boss’s, just slightly weaker in strength, smaller sparks, louder explosion sounds... well, all ended in failure.

Third.

Sixth.

All ended in failure.

Ji You stared at a pile of waste and fell into contemplation: Failure rate so high? What’s the reason?

After pondering for a while, Ji You said: "Fourth, you’ll handle it next."

Fourth: [Sure~]

After two words, Fourth tilted his head and stared fixedly at Ji You: "Oh dear, oh dear, I’m hungry now; can’t move, need Candy Beans to do it~"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s face darkened as she cursed: "Just tell me, are you doing it or not? Let me make it clear: it’s volunteer work; I won’t give you any compensation."

Fourth showed a silly grin: [I’ll do it!]

Phew~

Master is becoming stingier.

No choice, since I still want to pamper her.

Fourth thought silently.

When Fourth started, somehow, Ji You felt her actions had become smoother, without any feeling of impediment. Moreover, she was able to focus completely on the creation process, not needing to consider anything else, only concentrating on the task at hand.

A seamless flow.

Upon completion, Ji You held her breath, waiting for the result.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

The array diagram on the soul device completely stabilized.

Ji You waited a bit longer and, finding no cracks or explosions, finally relaxed and reached out to grab the freshly crafted soul device to scrutinize it closely, finding not a single problem.

The circular alloy steel was like a small button, engraved with a vividly lifelike Qing Zhu; Qing Zhu was facing the sun, radiating with brilliance...

After inspecting, Ji You promptly fetched the detector for preliminary examination, quickly deriving the values of this soul device.

Low-level Peak.

A low-level peak soul device.

Fourth: [I told you, just casually doing it will suffice.]
