The four latecomers stared blankly, looked at Ji You, then at Cheng Haoyue, and in the end, their gazes settled on Ji You.

[She’s short, but her aura feels really strong!]

Then—

The four of them turned their eyes back to Cheng Haoyue again. Cheng Haoyue was tall and burly, but standing next to Ji You right now, he didn’t give off much of a sense of menace. Instead, he looked like a little quail with its head drooping, neck shrunk, and wings tightly folded.

Who the class monitor was was obvious!

The next second, the four of them had just turned their heads toward Ji You when they heard her say, "What are you four standing there playing tractor for? Hurry up and come pick your weapons!"

"Eh?"

"We get some too?"

"There’s enough for us?"

This time, Ji You didn’t even need to beckon. The four of them surged forward and immediately picked out their preferred weapons.

However, there weren’t many options left, and one person was slower than the others, so he could only choose one of the remaining Military Shovels that looked pleasing to the eye.

Cheng Haoyue laughed and said, "Iron, that Military Shovel of yours looks pretty fierce, and your arms look like they’ve got some power in them. I’d wager that shovel’s going to feel really handy in your grip."

The boy in question kept a straight face and said, "It’s alright. At least I probably won’t need to swing it nine times to finish off an enemy."

Cheng Haoyue: "..."

Cheng Haoyue snapped, "Is that how you talk to your class monitor? Show some respect, or I’ll make things difficult for you."

Ji You ignored her teammates’ bickering. Her aura dropped as she said, "There are still three Military Shovels on the field. The four of you who came late, each of you take one."

The four froze. The boy who had just teased Cheng Haoyue was named Li Shanshui. Li Shanshui had a cheerful, somewhat careless personality. He directly asked, "Class monitor, we already have weapons, yeah? Why do we still need a Military Shovel? Besides—"

He already had two.

Ji You listened and smiled. "You don’t need to take another. You just hold onto one, and give the other one to Zhang Jian."

Cheng Haoyue: "..."

Cheng Haoyue didn’t have time to protest about the name issue. He hugged the bow and arrow in his arms and said, "I’m a sniper. Having a bow and arrow is enough! What do I need a Military Shovel for?"

Ji You said, "You’re responsible for leading the new members to stay at the base, build defensive fortifications, and act as our inside man when necessary, in charge of escorting us back to the team."

As soon as Cheng Haoyue heard that, he exploded. "No way!"

After he said that and saw Ji You staring at him with a dark expression, Cheng Haoyue said, "Staying here is such a loss! I want to go to the enemy camp and kill enemies!" Just now he’d smacked an enemy to death with a Military Shovel and got his first points after entering the field. Having tasted the sweetness, he really didn’t want to stay at this Crooked-Neck Tree base.

Let alone building defensive fortifications?

He was not cut out for that.

Cheng Haoyue’s reaction was downright resistant. Ji You didn’t scold him, just said, "You can kill enemies staying here too."

Cheng Haoyue didn’t believe it.

Ji You said, "You might even kill more." The reason Ji You chose him was of course because he had originally been the class monitor. The fact that he could get the class monitor position meant that his strength was top-tier among this group.

Besides, the class monitor position might receive information issued from higher up. If everyone swarmed off to the enemy camp, who’d be guarding the house?

The class monitor was the most suitable.

Cheng Haoyue was tempted. Mainly, just earlier when they’d tricked Xia Bingbing’s group of four over to be killed, they’d basically run into no obstacles at all under Ji You’s masterful planning.

Cheng Haoyue asked, "You’re not lying?"

Ji You said, "When I, Ji You, speak, I never draft... ahem... I never spout lies. Anyone who knows me would know that."

As she said this, Ji You tossed a flirtatious look at her teammates. "Anyone here know me?"

As soon as the words fell, the field went dead silent.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

...

As the silence dragged on, the atmosphere in the field became more and more awkward.

Ji You cleared her throat lightly and said, "Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals not knowing us big shots isn’t that strange."

Everyone: "..."

Amid a wave of speechlessness, Cheng Haoyue finally asked a question he’d been wanting to ask for a long time. "Class... ahem... Ji You, may I ask what Level you are?"

Ji You slanted a look at him and said nothing.

Cheng Haoyue patiently waited, but the answer never came. He was just about to ask again when he heard Ji You say, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask."

Right at this moment, among the four late arrivals, the ponytailed girl suddenly stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Ji You, your ’Ji’ is the ’Ji’ from ’the four seasons of the year,’ and your ’You’ is the ’You’ from ’red-heart honey pomelo’?"

Ji You lifted her chin, face full of pride. "That’s right, that would be me."

Aside from the ponytailed girl, the others still looked a bit confused. Just then, the always-silent He Yu suddenly said, "That name sounds really familiar."

Liu Jia muttered, "I’ve always felt like I’ve heard it somewhere, but I just can’t remember where."

Wang Xin stroked his chin. "Now that you mention it, it does sound very familiar. Where have I heard it before?"

Just then, the newcomer Li Shanshui blurted out, "That 2B!"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere froze. Everyone stared at Ji You in shock. Li Shanshui nervously clapped a hand over his mouth. "I... I didn’t say anything."

Ji You said, "Very good."

Li Shanshui’s whole body trembled. He really wanted to say he hadn’t said anything and hadn’t done anything, but he couldn’t get the words out. The shiver rising from head to toe made his breathing feel labored, and he even felt like he might faint.

This—

This was the strength of someone in the United University Top 100?

As for Ji You’s name, a lot of people forgot it as soon as they heard it. What they remembered more was the hype about the 2B talent.

She was basically the first person ever to rely on a completely trash talent to get onto the United University rankings.

Under heaven, there was only this one case.

Who would’ve thought!

No one could’ve imagined that this one-and-only exception would actually be in their own team. In an instant, everyone’s eyes went wide as they stared at Ji You curiously.

Ji You’s expression was unchanged as she said coolly, "Close your hanging jaws. Haven’t you ever seen a big scene before? Where’s your dignity?"

Everyone still stared at Ji You with burning eyes. No matter how much the outside world said Ji You’s fame was undeserved, the students here were all looking at Ji You with genuine respect!

This was a United University Top 100, a powerhouse who’d stood out from among the billions of Alliance students from First Year to Fourth Year!

She was standing right in front of them!

Two legs, two arms, one head, nothing extra compared to anyone else!

And—

So short!

The rumors were clearly not lying!

At this moment, having recovered a bit of his wits from the shock, Cheng Haoyue still found it hard to believe. He couldn’t help asking, "Ji You, which school are you from?"

The interstellar world was huge; there were tons of people with the same name. What if there were a few Ji Yous on the competition circuit?

Cheng Haoyue asked the question, and before he could say a second sentence, he heard Ji You say, "Second Year Combat Department, Lanyue Star Military Academy—Ji You at your service!"
