But Ji You, with all her audacity, still recoiled from its ugly appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden in the shadows, the Viper Worm, upon seeing this, wanted to immediately chase after her, but a nasty smell hit it, causing its body to shiver. After pausing for a few seconds, it suddenly exhaled and resumed pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team chat room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You frantically tagged Sheng Qingyan: \"Spicy Eye, there’s a change of plans; I order you to immediately, right away, swiftly get back to the Space Station!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As if I needed you to tell me, I’ve already started running,\" Sheng Qingyan’s voice was a bit urgent, clearly also in the midst of a frantic escape, as he continued, \"Poor dead, this time if I run, I won’t come back to save you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need you to save me!\" Ji You gestured, panting, \"Spend more money for me! In this lifetime, I probably won’t have the fate to squander money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingyan said indignantly, \"That’s ugly, no way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You tested the feeling and confirmed that Sheng Qingyan truly had left the area, and only then did she feel relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You said, \"Shen Changqing, you must fully retreat, do not pause, do not fire, do not get entangled with anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Changqing pursed his lips, his voice struggling a bit, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You, feeling reassured, said, \"Changqing, you little silly, to become an excellent captain, knowing what to give up and not letting emotions cloud your judgment is what’s most important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Changqing fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You thought he had taken her words to heart, but then Shen Changqing suddenly asked, \"Ji You, have you done it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You’s fingers trembled slightly, then she raised the corners of her mouth, \"Of course! I’ve done it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else spoke, because Ji You indeed had done it; she wanted to save everyone by herself without including herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cool enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Composed enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willing enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—She was even willing to sacrifice herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Changqing said, \"But I can’t do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You said sternly, \"This is an order! I’m not persuading you to do it, I am commanding you, you must do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Changqing clenched his fist, softly saying, \"Ji You, I will do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitating for a moment, Shen Changqing kept a straight face and said: \"My dessert, it’s yours if you just come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You laughed: \"Don’t worry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While talking, Ji You heard a notification sound, she looked down and saw it was a new communication request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You answered the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, we’re in big trouble, we need to join forces to give your classmates a chance to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice, warm and amiable with a hint of vicissitude, belonged to the veteran named Old Chen who had come to rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You’s expression turned serious: \"Elder, I will follow your commands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen said: \"Level 8 Viper Worm, ordinary weapons can no longer harm it. Moreover, it has deadly venom, so close combat is absolutely out of the question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You listened intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen continued: \"That’s the external truth of the matter. With our strength, even together, we can’t kill it. So, let’s not waste our efforts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this suggesting we just lie down and wait for death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You quickly said: \"Elder, let’s not give up hope! Shall we try harder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen laughed: \"We might not be able to kill it, but we can buy some time until help arrives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While saying this, Old Chen was smiling, but his heart was heavy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Because no one knew better than Old Chen that currently, the Space Station couldn’t dispatch anyone capable of killing a level 8 Viper Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the ’rescue’ he spoke of was merely his own deception, his powerless self could only offer Ji You, this little whelp, some beautiful hope through deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he would stay with her until the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen said: \"I will be entering your area in 1 minute and 3 seconds, and will immediately attack the Viper Worm. Try to make some noise and distract it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You solemnly responded: \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen: \"Can you handle it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You: \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ji You felt like her scalp was about to explode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of this Stinky Grass was simply indescribable with limited vocabulary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried this thing because she feared any unexpected events during the assessment, and had prepared it on a whim. Well, apart from the stench, it hardly had any use, so only those with a strong curiosity would buy it, hence there were very few shops selling Stinky Grass on Star Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low sales, low demand, low price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You compared several stores and chose one, and after negotiating hard to save 5 credit points, the shop owner finally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen at full power, arrived precisely on time at the area where Ji You and the level 8 Viper Worm were. The moment he arrived, Old Chen smelled something off and thought his sense of smell was failing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen didn’t take it seriously and after another fierce rush, he and his Mecha trembled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Old Chen’s arrival, the originally smooth-sailing level 8 Viper Worm suddenly became restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its spiritual fluctuations grew stronger, signaling a strong warning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Viper Worm was irritated and uneasy, ready to confront the invading foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also made the hidden, unpredictable Viper Worm easier to catch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Old Chen identified the target, he didn’t hesitate and fired directly towards the Viper Worm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Viper Worm was sent flying hundreds of meters away, but it was useless. After shaking its body, it returned to its terrifying form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen: \"Kid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You squinted her eyes: \"Present!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-06T08:14:39.011Z",1,"novelbin.me","c339b8c54004dd289d5a7341866abb8e34a560460ff23181ceea919a1507171e","the-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-chapter-791","the-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-chapter-789",1317,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-cover.jpg"]
