The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1319: Wild Onion

After hearing Ji You speak, Guan Ning fell silent.

No matter what Ji You said next, Guan Ning didn’t utter a word.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ji You said, "Sister Guan Ning, what’s bothering you so much?"

Guan Ning stayed silent.

Ji You said speechlessly, "Come on, it’s not that bad, right? Can’t handle just a little provocation?"

Guan Ning: "..."

Guan Ning raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "It’s not that I’m bothered, I just thought about myself."

Ji You said, "That means you’re bothered. Can’t help it, I’m just too good; I provoke many people."

Guan Ning: "..."

Suddenly, Guan Ning asked, "Do you know which school I come from?"

Ji You didn’t care much and replied, "Heroes don’t ask about origins, even if you’re from the worst school, you’re still my soldier. I don’t mind."

Guan Ning held back, really held back.

No choice, the former commander Gu Peiyuan also had an infinitely bloated ego, often saying embarrassing things. Guan Ning had endured it for a long time, getting used to it somewhat. As for another one, Ji You, even better than Gu Peiyuan, it just took a little more time to get accustomed.

So, Guan Ning merely twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Oh, I didn’t come from the worst school, my school is—Alliance First Military Academy."

Ji You: "Huh? Oh—"

"Oh?"

"You’re not surprised?" Guan Ning looked at Ji You with surprise and puzzlement, "Why?"

Ji You tilted her head at Guan Ning, "What’s so weird about that, this is Alliance First Military Academy, sweep a stick and you’ll hit a bunch of First Army students."

Guan Ning: "..."

Guan Ning gritted her teeth, "I’m different from them!"

Ji You: "What’s different, aren’t they all First Army students."

Guan Ning’s teeth itched, feeling like punching someone, "No difference! I am a top student!"

"Top student!"

"The cream of the crop!"

She repeated a few sentences with countless exclamation marks to emphasize her tone!

In the end—

Ji You casually said, "Huh? Top student? Looks average to me."

Guan Ning: "..."

Can’t stand it!

She couldn’t hold back.

Her fists already clenched, about to give Ji You a good punch when Ji You hummed, "People in the First Army always have inexplicably inflated egos. That silly Wei Xiaoxiong is like that, and that Iron Fool Li Jiu too... they look impressive on the surface but are actually easy to defeat. But you’re better than them, you seem like you can withstand three hits."

Guan Ning: "..."

Both kept advancing at high speed, Guan Ning initially wanted to punch Ji You but held back, just huffing, "Has anyone ever told you your mouth stinks?"

Ji You’s eyes sparkled, "There really have been."

"Quite a lot actually, you’re not the first and won’t be the last to despise my foul mouth." Ji You said that, even giving Guan Ning a smug smile.

Guan Ning took a deep breath and brought the topic back, "I am from the First Army, I always thought our First Army’s training was the hardest, I always thought our efforts were the greatest, I always thought..."

Ji You raised an eyebrow and interrupted, "Do you guys also think you’re always the strongest?"

"..." Guan Ning was taken aback for a moment, then with a straight face she said, "That’s right! We think so, but don’t be too proud? I might lose to you, but our school won’t."

Ji You laughed, "Alright, let’s wait and see."

Guan Ning decided to ignore Ji You. Because this guy Ji You can’t speak without spouting nonsense, continuing the conversation seems to cause a myocardial infarction.

All the way, Guan Ning remained silent. However, she secretly swore that after the competition ended, she would definitely increase her training!

Not enough, not enough, not enough.

Everything before was not enough!

...

Ji You also returned to normal, Guan Ning led the way ahead, she closely followed, in silence, they had arrived at the first destination. This was the First Squad’s base, Guan Ning was familiar with the squad leader, and Ji You gestured for Guan Ning to directly ask for manpower.

Ji You followed behind Guan Ning, aside from the scary bloodstains on her face, she looked just like a little sidekick, extremely inconspicuous.

The First Squad Leader didn’t pay much attention to Ji You, he thought Guan Ning was following Commander Gu Peiyuan’s orders to issue directives, so he didn’t raise objections to what Guan Ning said, but confirmed once: "Just the two who set up communications before?"

Guan Ning nodded.

The First Squad Leader said, "No problem. I’ll have them called over."

The First Squad Leader asked, "Can we really establish real-time communication?"

If really possible, it would greatly influence the battle! The scales of victory would tilt towards the 5th Camp!

The First Squad Leader became more and more excited.

Guan Ning nodded, "Yes."

The First Squad Leader couldn’t help but ask, "Which great figure invented this?"

"Me—" Ji You said, "—got it by snatching."

The First Squad Leader: "..."

The First Squad Leader asked Guan Ning, "Who is she?"

Guan Ning: "Commander!"

The First Squad Leader: "!!!"

Ji You smiled cheekily, "Also snatched."

The First Squad Leader: "..."

He felt a bit dizzy, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

Before he realized it, he felt a pat on the shoulder, the inconspicuous little runt was trying hard to tiptoe and revealed a sinister grin: "Actually, I want to snatch a Squad Leader role too, but being a Commander is fun as well."

The First Squad Leader suddenly reached for his weapon, only to find it already gone, and saw it in the hands of the little runt right in front of him.

Ji You waved the weapon in her hand and said, "Slow reaction, need more training in responsiveness. Focus on enhancing Spiritual Silk’s perception."

The First Squad Leader had yielded by now; he was the strongest among the squad leaders, but a brief exchange with Ji You earned his genuine admiration.

A warrior sometimes is just that simple, the strong leads.

Ji You suddenly said solemnly, "The First Squad, as the vanguard, will follow my orders directly. Now, immediately assemble everyone. As soon as the communications equipment is set up, be ready to receive orders at any time."

The First Squad Leader: "Yes."

Ji You suddenly took out a sack of rice from her bosom and tossed it to him, "Assign logistics people to make congee; also dispatch a squad to gather wild vegetables nearby."

"This kind." Ji You said, pulling out a handful of ’grass’ from inside her bosom again.

This ’grass’ was actually a wild onion growing by the river in the competition field, lush and green, exuding a fragrance, looking quite edible.

Guan Ning couldn’t help but wide-eyed, "When did you collect this?" The key was she was with Ji You the whole time, didn’t see Ji You making any moves!

Ji You naturally replied, "Picked it earlier, always kept it on me."

Guan Ning: "..."

Such a simple matter, Guan Ning felt like her brain malfunctioned, only following Ji You for a short time, her brain seemed to be crushed into stupidity.
