The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 189 Explanation

Chapter 189: 189 Explanation

Lose the game but not the lineup, Yue Qiguang stubbornly declared, "Strong winds make it easy to slip up, 4444, just you wait! How could dad possibly lose to these two weaklings?" Saying this, Yue Qiguang glanced at Zhang Ye and Xuzhou. Not to brag, but in terms of strength, no one in the entire Combat Department could compare to him, except Chu Jiaojiao.

Xuzhou?

Zhang Ye?

Who are these guys?

Normally, Yue Qiguang wouldn’t even bother to look at them.

And now, number 4444 dares to say I can’t even compete with them?

Yue Qiguang couldn’t stand it. He immediately got ready and ran straight to the predetermined starting point: 1, 2, 3...

The moment Yue Qiguang made his appearance, his aura was astonishing, and his posture extremely cool. If Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao were like a flash of lightning, Yue Qiguang was like a fierce storm—

Boom—

meter.

meters.

meters.

...

The start was great, Yue Qiguang might become the fourth person, after Ji You, Shen Changqing, and Chu Jiaojiao, to achieve the goal set by teacher Mu Jianling. All around, the students stopped their training and began to strongly spectate:

"Do you guys guess how many seconds it’ll take for him to reach the finish line?"

"Maybe 20 seconds?"

"15 seconds."

"10 seconds."

Everyone had high hopes for Yue Qiguang because although he might be a bit silly, his strength was undeniable. Just as everyone was waiting to see Yue Qiguang sound the victory horn, suddenly—Yue Qiguang staggered embarrassingly, a gust of wind appeared timely, blowing him along with his mecha far away. Yue Qiguang struggled fiercely, but at that moment, he was like a rootless duckweed, scurrying away headlong with no means to stop, driven by the fierce wind.

Students: "..."

Student A: "Overestimated him."

Student B: "Gave him too much credit."

Student C: "Got him wrong."

Ji You raised the corner of his mouth, glancing towards Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, chuckling and said, "See? Was I wrong? I won’t lie, besides being strong, I have another strong point that can’t be ignored—my critical eye."

Xuzhou: "..."

Zhang Ye: "..."

Ji You: "When I say Yue Qiguang isn’t capable, he really isn’t. When I say you two are capable, you definitely are."

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye: "..."

It sounded like a godman bewitching people, making you want to believe yet not daring to.

In short, Xuzhou and Zhang Ye were both troubled.

At this time, Yue Qiguang, dragging his embarrassed body, returned to the starting point just in time to hear Ji You’s remark, and he was so choked up he couldn’t even retort. He gritted his teeth, gathered his strength, and tried again.

However—

He failed.

The third time.

Failed again.

Yue Qiguang refused to believe it and was about to try for the fourth time when suddenly he was stopped by Yue Qiyuan: "Excuse me, my turn now."

Yue Qiguang angrily said, "Yue Qiyuan, don’t hinder me!"

Yue Qiyuan looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "Failing repeatedly, haven’t you used your brain to learn from your experiences? With your current state, I don’t need to try to know you’ll fail. Just watch my performance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Qiyuan had already begun to move. His Mecha model was Wind Wing, celebrated for its speed, but this time, Wind Wing was not just about speed. Its movements, along with the chassis, seemed as light as a butterfly, reaching the endpoint in the blink of an eye.

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Frustrated.

He was genuinely frustrated.

Ji You patted Xuzhou on the shoulder and smiled, "Stop watching, come on—practice is the only way to the real thing!"

Xuzhou turned serious: "You’re right."

Zhang Ye also calmed down.

Not to mention the others, though student Ji You may lack talent, she has never fallen behind in any training programs offered by the school so far, and often, she even stands out—

What does this imply?

It implies that she knows how to think, observe, and skillfully use her strengths to compensate for her weaknesses...

Facing such a classmate, what excuse do you have to justify your failures?

Nobody likes to fail, nor does anyone wish to be at the bottom. Thus, since Ji You is willing to guide, Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, at this moment, tucked away all their reluctance and focused earnestly.

Ji You said, "Do you know why you’re still not in sync with the Mechas?"

Xuzhou asked, "Is it because my spiritual power is too weak?"

His spiritual power was only at B-level, which is considered above average in Lanyue Star Military Academy. However, spiritual power is the most crucial parameter for piloting a Mecha, thus the entry criteria for the Mechanical Combat Department are quite high.

The minimum standard is C-level spiritual power and B-level physical strength, but students who only possess these levels rarely enter the Combat Department because they know they would rank lowest. Therefore, these students mostly switch to the Manufacturing, Mechanical, or other departments—

The Combat Department only accepts students with high talent, and Xuzhou does not stand out here.

What about Zhang Ye?

Zhang Ye has A-level spiritual power and A-level physical strength, Double A, which is significantly higher than Xuzhou’s talent, but Zhang Ye also struggles with syncing his body to the Mecha.

So—

Where does the problem lie?

Faced with both pairs of curious and eager eyes, Ji You didn’t keep them in suspense and directly said, "It’s not because your spiritual power is weak. It’s because you’re overstretching yourselves. Simply put, you don’t know about trade-offs."

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye: "???"

Ji You said, "When we pilot a Mecha, regardless of whether we’re observing the enemy, using weapons, allocating energy, or moving, walking, jumping, all these actions require our spiritual power to control, which has led to a misunderstanding for you. You spread your limited spiritual power thinly across every area, seeking meticulous control, but what does this cause? You already know—insufficient spiritual power."

"I’m different from you; I have even less spiritual power, so I must know how to allocate it. When piloting a Mecha, there are areas I must ignore and let go, I will simply abandon them and focus my attention on a few critical points."

Xuzhou exclaimed, "Is that even possible?"

Zhang Ye opened his mouth wide: "What if something overlooked causes an issue?"

Ji You gave them both a look, "Idiots! I’m not telling you to always ignore them but to temporarily ignore them. Skillfully use the Mecha’s defense, reconnaissance, and intelligence systems to monitor them for you. When an issue arises, promptly divert your spiritual power there—understand?"

In reality, this involves the flexible use of spiritual power, and once an issue is detected, Ji You can instantly reallocate her spiritual power. How about Zhang Ye and Xuzhou?

Ji You didn’t know.

But Ji You thought that their spiritual power was actually not low. On garbage planet 101, affected by the environment and material conditions, whether it be Brother Qiong, Sister Lingzhi, or Sister Li Ya, including herself, most children’s talents aren’t high.

Sister Lingzhi is regarded as the child with the highest talent on Tenth Street, but she only has C-level spiritual power and C-level physique.

For Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, their lowest being B-level spiritual power, they are considered talented children on garbage planet 101.

Ji You put aside her joking tone and said seriously, "No more nonsense! Let’s get to actual combat. I will keep attacking you, and you need to focus solely on defense and look for opportunities to counterattack me."
