Chapter 84: 084 Smooth-tongued

The lamb on the chopping block, that’s who I am.

But the battlefield changes in the blink of an eye, a huge disadvantage can also turn into an absolute advantage.

Looking at Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan, Ji You’s lips curled up slightly as she spoke loudly, "I’m number 4444, Ji You—Physical Strength E, spiritual power E, a genuine Double E-level waste! Whoever sees me will surely want to take a slice at me!"

"And furthermore—"

"I also have 4999 enemies!"

"Tell me, who could be more suitable to be the bait than me?" After Ji You finished speaking, she raised her eyes to glance at the four.

The light in the eyes of Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Chu Jiaojiao grew brighter and more intense...

They took the bait.

Ji You’s lips formed a sly smile as she pointed at Yue Qiguang and Chu Jiaojiao and said, "You two won’t do—people would take one look at you and walk the other way."

As her words landed, Yue Qiguang and Chu Jiaojiao both looked a bit displeased.

Ji You then raised her hand, pointing at Yue Qiyuan, and said, "You might not look scary, but your brother sure is."

Yue Qiyuan: "..."

"As for you?" Ji You tilted her head, looking at Sheng Qingyan, and then shook her head: "Never mind, let’s not even go there."

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

After a thought, Sheng Qingyan bit her lip, somewhat aggrieved, "What’s wrong with people? Why don’t people deserve to have a name, huh?"

Chu Jiaojiao: "Shut up!"

Sheng Qingyan: "That’s mean."

But she didn’t dare to voice more opinions.

Ji You kept a straight face and delivered another knowing blow, "I’ll ask another question, how many points do you all have now? I’ll start, I’ve already gotten 65 points. I’ve also heard that in the training ground, the most formidable Shen Changqing has already accumulated over 200 points, and that Lou whatshisname has 150 points... What about you guys?"

This question struck a nerve.

Despite how arrogant and domineering they seemed, ruling the entire training ground, when it came to earned points, they truly didn’t have many, and the few points they had managed to accumulate were deducted for various inexplicable reasons.

Yue Qiguang had a dark face.

Yue Qiyuan was stone-faced.

Chu Jiaojiao frowned.

Sheng Qingyan pouted, "I have... well, I do have some..."

Ji You raised her hand, quickly interrupting Little Cutie’s attempt to speak, and said, "I’m just asking if you want to earn points? Do you want to pull off a big job?"

The silence was telling.

Ji You gave a slight smile and declared, "Good! Then I’ll lead you to pull off a big job!"

Yue Qiguang was somewhat dissatisfied, "What? What do you mean you’ll lead us to a big job? At best you’re just bait! You know about earthworms, right? One of the ancient Earth creatures, you and earthworms look alike, both ugly as sin..."

"..." Ji You’s eyelid twitched, thinking: Just let it go, staying alive is more important. So, she squeezed out a smile and said, "To carry out this plan, you all must join forces to protect me, and you can’t let me die too quickly because as long as I’m alive, you can earn more points! You’ll be able to create the greatest benefit!"

Chu Jiaojiao, looking at the exuberant Ji You, said with a smile, "I agree."

Yue Qiguang, though reluctant, also nodded, "Alright."

After a bit of thought, Yue Qiyuan also felt that having another bait would make it easier to hunt for points and wasn’t too much trouble, and if the ’bait’ accidentally died, they could just disband the team. Thus, he also nodded in agreement.

What about Sheng Qingyan? Little Cutie just wanted to go back to sleep, and of course, no one cared about Little Cutie’s opinion anyway.

Control room.

This reversal of events was beyond expectation.

The teachers looked at each other and, after a moment, all laughed and said:

"A real talent."

"She’s still not dead."

"After all this time, the several S-level powerhouses have all become her underlings and bodyguards." The key was, the others were actually quite happy to be hoodwinked.

"Ah, now, when do you think she will die?"

"Ugh..."

"Don’t dare to bet, can’t dare to bet anymore, we’ve escaped death time and again, our faces are already swollen, isn’t that enough of a hit to our pride?"

Beside, Principal Hong snickered, "What reliable combination can this bunch of troublesome characters come up with? If anything, it won’t be long before they fall apart or get wiped out by someone! I bet they won’t survive the night."

****

Ji You’s eyes flashed as she pointed to a spot, "Yue Qiguang, over there, there’s someone. Go catch him and have him deliver a message."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

This bastard, how dare he order me around?

But thinking of the huge gain, Yue Qiguang reluctantly ran over and grabbed a boy hiding in the bushes, the boy screamed, "Hey! I’m just passing by, don’t kill me."

"Number 1888, Zhang Ye." Ji You stared at the boy’s tag for a few seconds, suddenly feeling resentful. Look at other people’s lucky triple-eight number, and then think about her own short-lived ghost number... Ji You raised her hand and slapped the boy’s head hard, grinning, "Do a good job for us, and you can keep your life."

The boy: "???"

What’s happening?

Even Double E-level trash dares to be so arrogant now?

Ji You smiled and said, "We’ll let you off, and when you go out there, tell everyone number 4444, Ji You, is alive. Not only is she not dead, she’s living quite arrogantly, looking down on others, even boasting that everyone else on the training grounds is weak! Because those who wanted to kill her are all dead..."

The boy: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ji You scratched her head, slightly embarrassed, blushing as she said, "Don’t stare at me like that, this is called—drawing hatred, got it? To achieve something big, you have to secure the hatred."

The boy: "..."

Everyone: "..."

I’ve seen people looking for death, but never in such a creative way.

Whatever.

As she wishes.

The boy was about to leave when Ji You said: "Number 1888, classmate Zhang Ye, remember to do a good job. If you think of playing any tricks—" she drew out the last word, pointing to Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang standing beside her, "Do you know who they are? If you play any tricks, even after the drill is over, you won’t be able to escape."

Zhang Ye: "..."

So—

As soon as Zhang Ye left, he heavily promoted Ji You’s arrogance wherever he went, not only repeating her exact words but also improvising, exaggerating to draw more hatred towards Ji You.

Then—

As Ji You walked out, she immediately encountered a small team of five.

"Number 4444, that damned fool? Did she really say that?"

"Is she here?"

"She should be around here, let’s look for her, I wasn’t going to hold it against her, but crushing her, isn’t it just like squishing an ant?"

Ji You took to her heels and ran!

"It’s her!"

"Chase her!"

"Finish her!"

Whoosh—

A small group all swarmed towards her, Ji You ran fast, but just as she was about to be caught, she suddenly stumbled and rolled on the ground; someone raised their hand, intending to twist her ’neck.’

Suddenly—

Hiding in the bushes, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan instantly appeared, catching the small team of five off guard. Within the blink of an eye, they were taken out.

Ji You snapped her fingers, laughing, "Perfect!"
