CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 405: NUMBER ONE IN THE EAST DISTRICT

Regarding Lin Lele’s matter, Ji You didn’t think about it anymore. Thinking too much was pointless. If the cliché drama of ’beating the child and the parent showing up’ really happened, she could only play it by ear.

Either fight back hard.

Or submit.

Otherwise, what else could she do?

Then, a group quickly washed up and rushed to class. During the physical fitness training in the morning, Ji You also found that her physical fitness had improved slightly. Although it was not obvious, it was indeed an improvement.

For this, Ji You was truly convinced by the Medicine Bath personally prepared by Dr. Luo.

Of course, perhaps the contribution from Teacher Mu Jianling’s Fierce Tiger Body Forging Technique should also be added.

In the following days, after school, Ji You would go to the medical room to find Dr. Luo every day, enduring the agony each time to retrieve the medicine liquid. The key issue was that Dr. Luo did not make any sense and randomly raised the price.

The first day, 5000 points.

The second day, 6000 points.

The third day, 7000 points.

...

Ji You watched her once plentiful points quota shrivel up, and she couldn’t help but feel like bleeding.

Earning points could no longer be delayed.

Unfortunately, for Ji You, earning points fastest through online competitions isn’t so easy now with the increased popularity of her alias "Rag Queen".

Previously in a multi-player match where small weak opponents were frequent, the system even shut down the betting pool, resulting in no points gained by the participating players.

That day, after handling everything, Ji You immediately logged onto Star Network and entered the intranet to check the latest competition news. Different from the previous multiplayer matches, the rules had changed this time. This round’s qualification was changed to a single-player challenge match, where a player could challenge any of their advancing opponents, and getting defeated in three matches meant being eliminated.

Of course, to prevent any rigged matches, the system would score each combat based on the fighting conditions of both participants, and after the match, the top 10 scorers among the winners would enter the finals.

Then, Ji You saw the latest competition schedule and found that she could make it every day, which finally gave her some relief.

With ample time today, Ji You didn’t delay and immediately submitted her competition application. Next, she carefully filtered and checked her opponents’ details, only to find that none seemed easy to bully.

Dominate the Universe?

Xiaoqing?

Drunk Lying on a Beauty?

Little Cutie?

Little Shengsheng?

Daddy Universe Strongest?

...

These were all top 100 ranked people. Dominate the Universe and Xiaoqing, that is Yue Qiyuan and Shen Changqing, were passable since Ji You had encountered them a few times and had a certain understanding of their fighting style and strategic thinking, so she had a high chance of winning.

But for the others, she couldn’t guarantee it.

In a trial competition, it’s better not to challenge the more difficult opponents. Ji You thought for a moment and decided to look for someone she could bully, and the first person that popped into her mind was weak chicken.

Acting on the thought, Ji You immediately searched for weak chicken, only to get a system prompt: [No such person found in this match, please confirm whether the opponent has joined the competition or has been eliminated.]

Ji You: "???"

What’s going on?

Did weak chicken cancel the account?

Or was weak chicken eliminated so soon?

Since she was blocked by the opponent, Ji You couldn’t directly message weak chicken to inquire and had to look through the list of eliminated participants instead. After a short while, Ji You saw the name weak chicken.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You, somewhat speechless: "Really is a weak chicken, getting eliminated so quickly after the game starts."

Then, Ji You checked the three battles of weak chicken and found that he didn’t last long in each, getting beaten up to the point of crying and begging everywhere...

Ji You: "..."

Is this guy really the same black-hearted weak chicken that I know?

Ji You couldn’t help but wonder, or was it that she had overestimated weak chicken before?

With no hope of beating weak chicken, Ji You had to pick a new opponent. At this moment, she was genuinely indecisive when suddenly a system notification popped up that someone had challenged her. Ji You opened it and was shocked:

— Little Shengsheng.

That top expert from the East District.

Ha!

Ji You grabbed her hair, feeling a bit suffocated, "How did such a big shot notice someone like me, a small fryyyy?"

Should she accept?

Or reject?

If she accepts, what if she loses?

If she declines, declining two matches in a row would be seen as voluntarily forfeiting, and she would be completely eliminated.

So, both accepting and rejecting need to be carefully considered.

Ji You clenched her teeth, thinking: I haven’t met this top expert yet, it might be worth seeing.

With that thought, Ji You directly clicked accept.

Then—

The scene changed, and she was instantly teleported into the battle arena. The new arena had changed from before; it simulated a space environment with almost no obstacles, only the occasional small asteroids interspersed around, most of which were very small, the smallest not even as big as a palm-sized stone.

...

Ji You looked up to the front, and her eyes landed on a silver mecha with a chilling shimmer—Blade. It was an advanced mecha integrating speed, defense, and attack. Such a great mech was naturally very expensive, costing 5000 points to redeem. However, Blade was not only expensive, but it also demanded high requirements from its pilots, needing adequate physical strength, spiritual power, operating skills, speed, and agility...

This ’Little Shengsheng’ was actually piloting Blade, Ji You was somewhat surprised, she glanced again at her antique mech, a bad premonition arising in her mind:

This is going to be bad!

Only 5 seconds remained in the countdown, Ji You raised her hand, greeting: "Hello, Little Shengsheng."

The other side said nothing, appearing exceptionally cold.

Ji You wasn’t too embarrassed; if the other party didn’t want to talk, then so be it.

Soon—

Time was up, Ji You instantly piloted her antique mech to flee, she cranked the thruster to maximum because of a strong sense of crisis, Ji You knew she had to run as far as possible.

With an opponent like Little Shengsheng, fighting hand-to-hand clearly held no chance of winning.

As it turned out, Ji You’s premonition was correct. Little Shengsheng piloted the mech, whooshed after her quickly. The distance advantage Ji You had just gained was instantly neutralized by the opponent.

Seeing the silver mech about to overpower her, Ji You gritted her teeth, go big or go home, and directly decided to detonate the energy system.

But—

Detonation took time, even at Ji You’s fastest it would still take 3-4 seconds, but Little Shengsheng gave almost no time for Ji You to prepare, directly pulling out a silver big saber, violently smashing it onto Ji You’s cockpit.

Clang—

Ji You stared wide-eyed: "!!!"
