The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 170 Rag Queen

Chapter 170: 170 Rag Queen

Chapter 170

Having finished her meal and feeling spurred on, Ji You grew even more determined to earn money. She completed all of today’s courses for the Material Department, took study notes, finished her homework, and then immediately logged onto Star Network.

At this moment, within the network of Alliance University, it was break time, hitting a peak period for students being online.

Ji You checked the time and found that she could play at least 2-3 more matches.

If so, let’s get to it!

If luck was on her side, she could earn tens of thousands more points, and she would truly strike it rich.

And then—

Ji You noticed that the East District area she was in was particularly lively today, with most people gathered around the Freshman arena, whispering to each other.

"Has that self-destructing idiot come online today yet?"

"What idiot! That’s disrespectful to the boss. From now on, we can’t call them an idiot, we have to call them boss! Got it?"

"Ah ha~ ’Idiot’ just rolls off the tongue better."

Ji You: "..."

Following what others had mentioned, she glanced over at the forum section and realized that her battle video from the previous night had been specially edited and the highlights were reposted like crazy on the forum.

All the titles were in caps and bolded: [Why the self-destructing idiot? Check out today’s match!], [Is it a perversion of human nature or a decline in morality? Antique mechs can actually be played like this!], [Boom~ Believe in the idiot, get rich overnight!], [Check-in post!! The Lucky Geese who bet on the idiot last night, come check in and sign in! Let’s see how many tycoons were born last night!!]

...

Wait a minute—

All these eye-catching clickbait titles had an unusually high level of attention. Ji You only glanced at a few before indifferently shifting her gaze away.

Heh—

A bunch of mortals.

But, being constantly called an idiot by others was indeed an annoyance. Her string of system numbers had no distinctive features to remember by. Ji You thought it over and decided to give herself a mighty and imposing name.

What should she call herself?

Sheng Qingyan once said that when choosing a name, it’s best to pick something that people in reality wouldn’t guess because if netizens discover your real identity, a beating is inevitable.

Ji You chuckled in her mind: With Little Cutie’s death-seeking behavior, being so daring in reality, on Star Network, Ji You didn’t even want to think about it. She felt it was a miracle that he was still alive.

Since she was neither death-seeking nor looking for trouble, why be afraid of someone digging up her identity?

But—

Better safe than sorry. After pondering deeply, Ji You finally settled on a name: [General Chang Sheng]

System: [The name is already taken, please choose another one.]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You: "Mighty General?"

The system repeated the previous sentence.

Ji You: "Constantly Victorious General?"

The system continued to repeat.

Ji You’s face started to show a bit of annoyance, "Fierce Queen!"

System: [The name is already taken, please choose another one.]

Ji You with a dark face: "Mighty Queen!"

System: [You seem to have a rigid approach to naming, student. The system suggests you try to be more creative and come up with a unique name!]

Ji You felt the malice coming from Alliance’s official system and, frowning, declared seriously, "I am the cool and tyrannically brash Queen!"

System: [The name is already taken, please continue to be creative.]

Ji You: "..."

Are these people just bored?

Can’t any of them pick a normal name?

With no alternative, Ji You said through gritted teeth, "Rag Queen! Surely no one’s taken that name, right?"

System: [Congratulations, your name has been successfully established.]

Ji You: "..."

What was she doing?

Everyone was mocking her, saying she always flew a piece of junk, and now she just stooped so low as to call herself Rag Queen?

For a moment, Ji You was speechless about herself.

Carrying the title of ’Rag Queen’, Ji You always felt it was a bit off, just like her string of system number 4444444 and her student ID 4444—

This name really doesn’t match my vibe at all.

With a hint of annoyance, Ji You began to pick her first opponent of the night. Once you enter the arena, the names of the opponents around you are displayed, along with their overall strength and a comprehensive score for your reference.

Of course—

Specific details like the opponent’s spiritual power and Physical Level can be hidden if they prefer not to show them.

So, what’s the deal?

Relying solely on the system’s recommendations and data can be misleading; there are plenty of traps hidden within, and with one wrong step, you’re stepping on a landmine and your whole game flips.

For instance—just after Ji You selected her opponent, she realized, oh no!

She thought her opponent was a little lamb, but it turned out to be a big bad wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The scene of the battlefield changed in a flash; just as Ji You entered and hadn’t even steadied herself, let alone ready for action, she suddenly saw the opponent move, fast as lightning. The attacks were also extremely fierce: one shot, two shots, three shots...

The opponent hardly gave Ji You time to react, bombarding her with cannon fire after cannon fire, catching her completely off guard.

Ji You tried to flee, only to be struck by the opponent’s cold weapon, but that move was just a blind eye method to deceive her. Just when Ji You thought she could escape with power to spare:

Boom—

A blur before her eyes—

Ji You’s antique mech exploded!

Exploded!

Exploded!

And with it, she was blasted away, too.

When Ji You crashed to the ground in an extremely embarrassing posture, the opponent paused for a moment seeing she wasn’t dead, and then even more ferocious cannon fire came her way—

Bang bang bang...

Before Ji You could ponder over life, she was dead as a doornail.

Ji You: "..."

If God were to ask her what day it is today, Ji You would definitely say, "I don’t know, but it’s surely an unlucky day."

Yingyingying...

How long was that, from start to finish?

A minute?

Or 30 seconds?

Ji You didn’t even get a clear look at what the opponent looked like before she was killed.

A tragic death!

The greatest tragedy in the world is no greater than this!

Ji You gritted her teeth and flipped out the opponent’s information again. Upon checking, she found that the opponent’s details were still the same as before, the screen full of a vibe that screamed ’I’m a little lamb, I’m easy to bully, come bully me’.

[Name: Xiaoqing.

Physical Strength: Hidden.

Spiritual Power: Hidden.

Solo Battles: 1.

Wins: 0.

Win Rate: -100%.

...

]

Just like that—

A little lamb with a win rate of -100%, with a name so soft and adorable which suggested an easy-to-bully girl, just like that, killed her in an instant.

Ji You simply couldn’t believe it.

She was dumbfounded for a while before she convinced herself to accept the reality.

Yingyingying...

The Star Network is just too scary, full of pits everywhere.

After regathering herself, Ji You picked another opponent. This time, she didn’t dare to choose those names that seemed soft, cute, or like they belonged to a likely girl. She went straight for someone called ’Dominate the Universe.’

Such a domineering name, it must be an easily fooled fool.

Yes!

It must be.
