The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 1221: Prediction
Upon finishing, Ji You glanced at the sky and said, "We’ve been stuck here long enough. Now, everyone follow my arrangements. Zhang Jian leads a team of five, forming Squad 1, responsible for maintaining stability at the rear."
Cheng Haoyue’s mouth twitched, mumbling softly, "Even if you’re the top 100 of the United University, you can’t just randomly name me."
As he muttered, Ji You’s voice came from above, "Zhang Jian, you’re the captain of Squad 1, but if you don’t perform well, you’ll be demoted to the brick-moving team. Can you manage?"
Cheng Haoyue: "..."
Cheng Haoyue whispered, "I can."
Ji You said, "I can’t hear you."
Cheng Haoyue shouted, "I can."
Getting overtaken by someone from the top 100 of the United University doesn’t sound shameful anymore.
But!
If you get repeatedly demoted, that would be utterly embarrassing.
With this in mind, Cheng Haoyue heard Ji You continue, "Wang Rumei, you’re the captain of Team 2. Liu Jia and Wang Xin are under your management."
He Yu: "..."
He Yu felt he somewhat understood Cheng Haoyue’s feelings. After using the name He Yu for over a decade, he was used to it and felt uncomfortable with the name ’Wang Rumei’.
On the other side, upon hearing this, Wang Xin and Liu Jia were slightly taken aback. To be honest, He Yu’s abilities weren’t stronger than theirs, so why did Ji You announce him as the captain of Team 2?
They couldn’t figure it out.
The two were utterly puzzled as they looked at Ji You. Ji You said, "No other reason, you’re not female."
Liu Jia and Wang Xin: "..."
Liu Jia protested, "This is gender discrimination! Severe gender discrimination."
Ji You heard this and calmly said, "When you can beat me, you can discriminate against me too."
Liu Jia was speechless, choking on his words.
Ji You chose He Yu not because of gender, but because after observing, she found He Yu to have the most meticulous mind, even if he’s not as strong in combat compared to the other two, his work is fairly attentive.
Infiltrating the enemy camp, always at risk of exposure, requires someone with careful planning.
Although surprised by Ji You’s arrangement, He Yu accepted with pride behind it.
Becoming a squad captain granted more room for maneuver.
He Yu was very happy.
He Yu thought for a moment and said, "Captain, it’s been 14 minutes, 30 seconds, and 21 since we returned to our camp; we’ve been out too long without making much noise. If we delay further, Shaun’s team might grow suspicious."
Ji You gave an appreciative glance to He Yu and said, "Besides the above two teams, I want to establish a third team."
Everyone raised their heads in surprise. Liu Jia asked, "Still forming more? Our entire squad has only 10 people, splitting into 3 teams."
"Besides—"
"Who are the members of the third team?" The only one not in a team was He Nu.
Could it be Ji You plans to team up with He Nu?
Then.
Everyone heard Ji You speak, "I authorize He Nu, also known as Wang Qiang, to be the captain of Team 3. Team 3 currently has no other members."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised at Ji You, understanding from her tone that our Seventh Team may expand in the future?
Ji You didn’t explain, continuing to brief Cheng Haoyue and the others on key points for constructing the base.
Then, Ji You raised her hand, saying, "Everyone listen to the order— Squad 1 stays, Squad 2 departs with me."
As her words fell, Ji You began to walk away.
He Yu and others quickly followed.
Meanwhile.
Outside the screen, students watching were speechless.
Someone said, "I’ve been saying she’s special, Ji You isn’t ordinary, but you didn’t believe me."
Outside the screen, countless audience members remarked, "It’s not us being silly not to guess, it’s her test rank being dead last!"
Not the second to last, third... fourth thousand... it’s dead last!
This rank, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to achieve.
It’s natural for everyone not to believe she’s strong. Now, everyone realizes they were proved wrong.
This topic was ignored; the doctor answering earlier questions suddenly asked, "Can everyone predict what she’ll do after returning to the enemy camp?"
As soon as the question was raised, someone replied, "Do you even need to ask? Of course she’ll keep tricking others. Most likely she’ll continue deceiving another team and slaughter them."
Someone said, "You really think students representing their school in the battle are fools? Ji You’s first success could be labeled catching them off guard, but will people fall for it a second time?"
"Impossible! Absolutely no one would fall for it again."
"But what if?"
"There’s no ’but’."
Everyone firmly agreed. Before anyone realized, Ji You stealthily swapped teams and wiped out a squad, but such good fortune, everyone unanimously believed, was merely a probability event!
"Her distinct identity and high-profile actions mean more in the field will come to know her, making it harder for her to remain hidden."
"Unless she does nothing, content with being a regular soldier, but clearly, that’s not her."
"You can deceive for a while but not forever; someone will surely question her exact number or faction."
"Moreover, she may be formidable solo, but she can’t rely on a bunch of weaklings behind her! Cheng Haoyue, He Yu, Liu Jia... which among them isn’t untraceable?"
"They all come from nameless, pathetic schools, can Ji You manage so many people? Does she have Three-headed and Six-armed skills?"
"I’m not degrading her group, except for He Nu who hasn’t been tested yet, anyone else in front of me, I can knock them out with one punch!" The one speaking is a student from the Alliance First Military Academy. Their school indeed has the capital to look down upon others.
Others also regrettably noted, "It’s a team competition, not solo."
"The teammates are too weak, can’t carry."
...
Audiences on the Star Network, wanting to become fortune-telling masters to predict results, meanwhile, in another corner of the interstellar domain, at the Lanyue Star Military Academy.
The atmosphere in the Combat Department second-year training room was very harmonious, with no one worried about Ji You.
This person, even if all her teammates dropped, she would be the one surviving well.
Really!
This person is mind-boggling.
On the podium, Mu Jianling scanned the room and asked, "Who guessed what she’s planning next?"
As soon as he finished, the entire training room answered in unison, "Deceive."
Mu Jianling’s mouth twitched before continuing, "Anyone who guesses her next move, gets a Candy Bean."
Wow~ 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Instantly, the crowd was excited, with many racing to raise their hand, "Me."
"Me."
"I know."
...
Amid the rising chorus, Mu Jianling calmly said, "Wrong answers cost 500 points."
Everyone: "..."
points, that’s quite a lot, isn’t it? After working hard an entire semester, one earns merely 5000, 6000 points; losing them suddenly, how could one not feel heartache?
In the blink of an eye, no students raised their hands volunteering.
At this moment, someone stood up.
