The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 1224: Why Bother?
When Mu Jianling teaches her students, she doesn’t impose her own analysis and thoughts too much; instead, she guides the students to think and analyze for themselves, as for the outcome? Of course, we’ll find out after the game is over.
At that time, the students will summarize on their own and write a report or something.
The atmosphere among the students and teachers watching from Lanyue Star is solemn and calm, but over on distant Nami Star, the whole competition, as students step onto the field, gradually becomes tense.
Ji You sorted out the affairs on her side, the main focus was on Cheng Haoyue, who led the other four teammates to reinforce their camp’s defenses, and they also had to cooperate with nearby squads.
Next.
Ji You quickly took He Yu, Liu Jia, and Wang Xin, and urgently returned to the enemy camp.
The four sprinted all the way and quickly reached the border river, standing at the riverbank; Ji You did not immediately order them to cross but instead stopped and examined Liu Jia, He Yu, and Wang Xin, as if her gaze came with a scanning function, making He Yu feel very uncomfortable.
He Yu whispered, "Can... can you stop looking?"
Ji You shook her head, and then suddenly stroked her chin, saying, "Something’s not right, it’s not quite right."
He Yu was confused, Liu Jia quickly asked, "What’s not right?"
Ji You furrowed her brow and said, "You guys are too clean."
The three: "..."
Ji You suddenly walked over to He Yu, raised her hand, and undid the tightly tied bun on her head, then touched her cheek, and finally bent over to tear a crack in the clothes at He Yu’s waist.
Faced with Ji You’s obvious rascally action, He Yu’s expression was stiff the whole time, her face red: "Uh... Ji You, what are you doing?"
"Don’t overthink it, just doing something proper." Ji You answered He Yu hastily and immediately turned to the two boys who were already staring dumbfounded, saying, "Don’t just stand there, you two help each other to look more ragged."
Liu Jia, Wang Xin: "???"
Ji You said, "You only have 1 minute, hurry, look more bedraggled, the more the better, make sure you look like you’ve been through hardship and lost the fight, got it?"
Liu Jia, Wang Xin: "Oh... oh..."
With that, they understood.
Then, the two exchanged glances, Liu Jia didn’t even think, mimicking Ji You’s previous actions, reached over to peel off Wang Xin’s clothes, Wang Xin was startled: "Whoa, chill, don’t be a rascal!"
Liu Jia paused his fingers, cursing: "Darn! I was serious, but you made me feel unserious with that!"
After speaking!
Liu Jia couldn’t hold back, directly aimed a punch at Wang Xin’s forehead.
Bang!
Wang Xin: "..."
With his forehead enduring tremendous pain, Wang Xin, having just been teased, and now punched, with less than 2 seconds between the two events, the plot changed so swiftly and complexly that Wang Xin was left utterly bewildered.
Outside the screen, the crowd watching was shocked:
"Ouch!"
"That must hurt."
"Did you see the tears in Wang Xin’s eyes? The pain brought tears, right?"
"I originally thought this was a ’you love me to madness’ scene, turns out it’s a ’you hate me to insanity’ scene!"
"Don’t spout nonsense. This is serious camouflaging."
"I thought I was here for the competition, why am I seeing such absurd scenes?"
"Ahem..."
"No one expected this!"
...
Because of such dramatic and unexpected twists, more and more people outside started to focus on Ji You’s group, suddenly boosting their screen viewer count beyond Shen Sheng, who was ranked first.
External discussions couldn’t affect those inside the game.
Seeing Wang Xin’s vacant and aggrieved expression, Liu Jia pulled back his fist, rubbed his sore fingers, and said: "With your look, if I were to tease you, I’d have nightmares for days."
"..." Wang Xin: "Darn!"
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"
Wang Xin was angry!
He raised his hand, swung his fist back at Liu Jia! Liu Jia quickly lifted his elbow to block, but Wang Xin was truly furious, feigned a move and then went for his real attack, catching Liu Jia unprepared, kicked him fiercely below.
Boom——
Liu Jia: "...I... you!"
"Darn!"
Wang Xin quickly followed with an over-the-shoulder throw!
Bam!
Liu Jia was slammed to the ground, clutching his belly tightly, utterly stunned: "You... you..."
Outside the screen:
All male audience fell silent, and after a moment, someone finally said: "Why make it hard for fellow men?"
"+1."
"+2."
"+3."
"+ID number..."
...
Wang Xin waved his fist at Liu Jia with a faint smile, saying: "Number 4123 Liu Jia, out."
Liu Jia: "..."
Outside the screen: "..."
Ji You, who was just holding the corner of He Yu’s clothes, thinking about how much force to use to tear it, couldn’t help but tremble a bit, almost pulling back. She turned to look at Wang Xin with a swollen forehead, blue and purple swellings, and then looked at Liu Jia also with a swollen bump, unable to straighten his waist from the pain.
Ji You was momentarily stunned, then she withdrew her hands, and casually smoothed He Yu’s clothes, saying: "You figure out how to tear it yourself."
He Yu: "..."
Ji You kept a straight face, saying seriously: "Us women shouldn’t make things hard for each other."
He Yu had just prepared to relax, but the next second she heard Ji You say: "Otherwise, how about I punch your chest?"
He Yu’s face instantly turned from red to white, white to green...
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Then.
Ji You suddenly stared at Liu Jia and Wang Xin and took a good look, then slapped her forehead abruptly: "Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this?"
The two were puzzled.
Ji You laughed and clapped, praised: "Liu Jia, Wang Xin, good job. Just need some touch-up on the makeup and clothing, basically perfect. Like smear some dirt on your lips, make a small cut on your arms..."
Listening to Ji You’s words, Liu Jia and Wang Xin exchanged glances, and then both simultaneously reached out to cover their chests—
Liu Jia said: "Iron, don’t touch, I’ll handle it myself."
Wang Xin said: "I don’t need your help, I’ll handle it."
Outside, a burst of laughter erupted.
Inside, Ji You did some touch-up on herself to make her look very ragged, and to make it look realistic, she even made a cut on the corner of her lips and punched her own cheek.
The punch landed solidly on her cheek, instantly making a very noticeable bruise appear on Ji You’s fair skin.
The watching He Yu, Liu Jia, Wang Xin were momentarily stunned.
The viewers outside the screen were also stunned.
——This, why go to such lengths?
