I am really just a weak chicken! My spiritual power is only at A level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You frowned, somewhat skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak chicken, wishing it could swear to the heavens, pleaded with a mournful face: \"Really, I’m not lying, Yingyingying~ As for how I can silently interfere with spiritual power, that... I... I don’t know either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You puzzled: \"You don’t know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak chicken nodded vigorously: \"Really! Not even as true as a pearl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You asked: \"Didn’t you seek a professional to check?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the question popped up, remembering something unpleasant, the weak chicken’s expression slightly darkened, and an air of cold indifference lingered unseen beneath its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowering its head, it said: \"I did, they said it was a natural ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of the response was somewhat low...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natural?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You suddenly realized! She thought about her own Mutated Spiritual Power; the teachers mentioned it was a one in a billion chance, and told Ji You not to divulge it —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, could it be that the weak chicken was also a naturally born mutant of spiritual power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inadvertently, Ji You had peered into the weak chicken’s secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Ji You felt somewhat apologetic; was she being too intrusive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, she hadn’t thought much about it, assuming it was a transmittable Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, which is why she had grabbed the weak chicken for questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You discovered the weak chicken’s peculiarity in the arena; although he was cautious when using it to avoid detection, how sharp was Ji You’s Spiritual Silk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You coughed lightly, straightened her face and said: \"I’m very sorry, I didn’t mean to invade your privacy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now, I made you answer a question; your spiritual power is at A level, which I now know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak chicken suddenly looked up, shocked: \"Queen????\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You, with a stern face, said: \"Who you are, where you come from, or what your exact identity is, I don’t care to know, and you don’t have to tell me in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though, even if she pressed for it, it’s not possible that she would truly tell her. But the weak chicken was genuinely shocked, it hesitated, mouth agape: \"Queen, aren’t you curious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You glanced at him sideways and spoke earnestly: \"Of course I’m curious, but more than curiosity, I’d rather have your ability. But since it’s natural, I can’t have it, so why should I care?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very straightforward and honest about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak chicken opened its mouth, wanting to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You waved her hand dismissively as if shooing away a fly, full of disdain: \"Okay, okay, I have no interest in you anymore. Just go away now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak chicken hesitated, lifting its foot—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You bared her teeth: \"Not leaving? Want to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yingyingying~ Goodbye, Queen!\" The weak chicken took a leap, shooting out a few meters away—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You raised her hand to her forehead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if that weak chicken, with his shifty eyes, was just fooling me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always feel like in his every ten statements, even the punctuation marks could be deceptive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, I’ll ask Teacher Mu and Dr. Luo if there’s any similar type of spiritual power cultivation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You opened the backend of the store and checked the traffic and revenue. This event brought in a very impressive number of visitors, and the promotion was very effective; overall, the Qingyou Shop has become quite famous on the Star Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Income?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two soul devices, both low-level peak, didn’t break through to intermediate, priced at 4 million credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes it a total income of 8 million credit points this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still far from the 500 million target. Mountains and seas apart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Teacher Mu and others are not pressing for the debt, Ji You still wants to clear it sooner. Being in debt is quite unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>million plus! When can I be debt-free and regain my freedom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You shook off these cluttered thoughts and immediately purchased some items on the Star Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, a set of protective clothing, an energy weapon, a set of cold weapons, 10 energy boxes of levels 1-3...no matter where the assessment location is, these basic self-defense weapons and armor should be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, 10 lbs of compressed biscuits made from natural food, another 100 bottles of low-level nutrition, and some drinking water...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough cough! Although Ji You utterly despises low-level nutrition, but!!! Who can argue with cheap? Cheap is king!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheapness can cover up any flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stocking up so much is just in case, of course, it’s best if they are not needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, cooking utensils like ladles, bowls, and seasonings like oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar are also prepared, just in case it’s about survival in the wild; wouldn’t it be perfect to have human-edible items? Anyway, it’s better to be safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Ji You utilized every bit of the limited space in his Space Button, leaving no spot empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You finally lay down on the bed with peace of mind and went to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You got up on time and, along with Chu Jiaojiao and others, arrived early at the gathering point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Jianling had arrived early and was squatting beside a huge black starship, frantically watching a drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, \"Ugly Girl’s Spring\" was airing, and the male and female leads were suffering from misunderstandings due to the malicious intervention of the evil supporting female character—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the plot was really frustrating and annoying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the infuriating plot, Mu Jianling fiercely slapped her thigh and cursed: \"Are they stupid? Can’t even see through such a simple trap! Idiots! All idiots!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a Teacher Mu who was too engrossed in the drama, the students didn’t dare to make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the gathering time arrived, Mu Jianling switched off the drama, her face looking irritable as she scanned around: \"Have all the idiots arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s the idiot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher, you can’t just take out your anger from some nonsensical melodrama on innocent students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students all had speechless expressions, and no one spoke since no one wanted to admit they were idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No idiots?\" Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow, suddenly said: \"4444, Ji You, present? Roll call!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You, steeling himself, loudly responded: \"Present!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Jianling smiled: \"There, you’re here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-06T08:14:37.832Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce5057c18f216a421f51560d1bc88201930541e8e8140b43c4e76884a8822135","the-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-chapter-900","the-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-chapter-899",1317,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-cover.jpg"]
