Chapter 61: 061 Return to School

Damn it.

If every time I use the Golden Finger, it’s going to be like this, I’m really going to die.

"Yingyingying..."

"I’m in so much pain..."

It’s also this time that Ji You deeply realized the harm of her F-level trash spiritual power, she must enhance her spiritual power, otherwise, she can’t even afford to use her own Golden Finger.

...

How to enhance it?

Of course, by buying all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The problem is—

Where does the money come from?

Before Ji You’s eyes, suddenly emerged the figure of a fat man, atop his head a huge halo with [I Have One Hundred Million], but it was just a flash, Ji You quickly shook the thought out of her head, "Even Huang Shiren wouldn’t exploit like this, I can’t just keep shearing a fat sheep."

Alas!

It’s all because the 100 million mentioned by that fat man was too big a stimulation for her.

...

After thinking it over, Ji You couldn’t figure out where to get the money. She turned around, opened the detection chamber again, and laid down inside, "Run the check again."

Previously, after drinking Butterfly Honey worth 3.8 million credit points, Ji You didn’t believe that her spiritual power hadn’t improved at all, so now she needs to check it again.

Soon, the test result came out.

Physical Strength: Level E.

No change.

Spiritual power threshold: 121, Level E.

Ji You’s eyes sparkled:

Damn—

As expected, the spiritual power threshold actually went up to 121, and she had indeed broken through the barrier of Level E.

Ji You almost burst into tears:

She is finally no longer F-level trash spiritual power.

Hmm?

What specific changes come with the level upgrade?

Ji You carefully felt it, there was no special feeling, but—within the entire room, the furnishings, and the subtle movements, such as the 24-hour self-cleaning system quietly sucking away the dust in the corner of the wall... these subtle changes, Ji You was blind to them before, but now, she could actually feel them.

Besides that, there was no other difference.

Thinking that she was only at Level E at the moment, she was not disappointed. She believes that later, she will rise to Level D, Level C... and even Level S!

It must be said, Ji You really dares to dream, having just reached Level E, she’s already thinking about Level S things.

But—

After all—

One must have dreams.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they accidentally came true?

...

With a whopping 1.2 million credit points in her pocket, a bad thought of wanting to splurge all of it kept attacking Ji You’s belief, eroding her will... after several struggles, she could no longer resist and was about to open her Light Computer to connect to the Star Network, to buy 100,000 or 80,000 worth of natural food at once, if she couldn’t finish, she would just eat and spill the rest...

At this moment, the contact alarm suddenly rang.

Ji You stopped her hand.

She answered the call.

The gentle and sweet voice of Sister Li Ya came through: "You, what have you been up to these past days? Yesterday, I invited you to pick up garbage, but didn’t receive your reply. By the way, I’m going back to school tomorrow, I still have some handwritten notes on physical training, do you want to borrow them to read?"

"If you need, come to my place."

Ji You quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes..."

The learning materials provided by Sister Liya over the past period had been a great help. Hearing that there were also handwritten notes, how could Ji You refuse?

As for the matter of spending 100,000 or 80,000 credit points in one go, since the money was in her pocket, it didn’t matter which day she spent it.

Ji You immediately withdrew her hand and swiftly left the door.

Today’s garbage planet was sunny and the air was clear—of course, this referred to within the protective shield; outside the protective shield, the scattered garbage still obscured the sky... Walking on the street, Ji You happily hummed a tune.

When she arrived, Lea had just come out of the training room. She was wearing a fitted training suit, which clung to her snow-white skin, and streaks of sweat flowed down from her forehead... This sight—

"Ouch!" Ji You held her head, looking at Lea who had just finished making a move: "Sister Liya, why did you flick me?"

This is the advantage of having superior physical strength and spiritual power over others. With Sister Liya’s small movements, Ji You, even if she noticed, was completely unable to resist.

Sigh!

Lea chuckled, "As a girl, where are your eyes wandering all day long?"

Ji You: "... Sister Liya is so beautiful; it’d be a waste not to look."

Lea: "..."

For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Ji You giggled and said: "Sister Liya, why are you suddenly going back to school? Isn’t there half a month left before the term starts?"

Lea pursed her lips and said, "Aqiong and Lingzhi are leaving earlier, so I’m joining them. Recently, there has been unusual activity from the Star Beasts, and I’m worried that if we delay too long, an incident may occur on our route here. It’s better to leave a few days earlier."

It would take about three days to travel from planet 101 to Lanyue Star by interstellar spaceship.

Ji You was surprised: "Could there be potential accidents on the route?"

Lea rubbed her temples and said, "I’m not worried about the route itself, but the possibility of another Star Beast anomaly in the Erathia Triangular Zone. We are quite close to that area, and if something happens there again, the Alliance might choose to block our route here. Once it’s blocked, no one knows when the ban will lift, making it impossible to travel for a short period."

Ji You suddenly understood.

Lea softly said, "You, I’ll get the notes for you."

Ji You: "Thank you, Sister Liya."

Although not a biological sister, she was even better than one.

Soon, Lea handed her notebook to Ji You.

Ji You carefully took it, holding it very preciously in her hand. This notebook was made of actual paper. In this day and age, to still possess something like paper was deeply moving.

Lea said with a smile, "You, take good care and preserve it. I’m just lending it to you to look at, but I’ve not agreed to give it to you."

Ji You was already very content, squinting her eyes: "Mhm. I understand."

Lea smiled gently, a hint of nostalgia in her voice: "Such a notebook is quite novel, isn’t it? I bought it on the Star Network Antiques Street with the pocket money I saved up when I was 10 years old."

"It was a birthday gift I gave myself, and I’ve been too reluctant to use it until I started training both my body and spiritual power, and then I started using it for taking notes."

So precious?

Of course, Ji You would take good care of it.

After talking for a while, Ji You suddenly sighed, "Sister Liya, you, Brother Qiong, and Sister Lingzhi are all leaving, huh?"

With the departure of the three youths, Ji You suddenly had no peers around her.

Sigh!

This sentence seemed to suddenly awaken Lea. She looked at Ji You and suddenly said, "You, have you ever thought about going back to school?"

Ji You was startled: "Going back to school?"

During this time, the concept of self-study was the only thing on her mind; she had never considered returning to school.

Lea nodded and said, "Yeah. If you go back to school, you can study in a systematic and standardized way. With your intelligence, you’ll definitely be able to catch up with others quickly."

Ji You: "Can I... still do that?"

She had been expelled from the Lanyue Star Military Academy. How could any school be willing to accept her with such an indelible stain?
