The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1370: King’s Way and Trickery

Ji You asked this question, not expecting a definite answer, because she was confident she was the first to achieve the victory for her camp.

However, the next second, Ji You heard Lou say, "The battle between Camps 3 and 4 is over." After saying this, Lou added, "Before you."

"What?" Ji You didn’t believe it, "You’re joking, right?"

Before her?

Before her?

Someone actually ended the camp war before her? How is that possible? Ji You frowned, not believing it at all, saying, "I thought my strategy was the least costly and took the least time; it’s impossible for someone to be faster than me?"

Lou shrugged and said, "If you don’t believe it, see for yourself."

Ji You was a bit troubled, but still forced herself to focus, glancing over the results of Camps 3 and 4, and found the winner was Camp 3.

After watching, Ji You fell silent.

The commander of Camp 3 was Shen Sheng.

It was the same Shen Sheng who entered the United University rankings with Ji You, and unlike Ji You’s low profile and cautiousness, Shen Sheng’s performance on the United University ranking has not been constant. On the contrary, Shen Sheng especially loves challenges, hardly having any free time. While Ji You was training and preparing for the offline interschool competition, Shen Sheng was constantly challenging within the Alliance. Her ranking rose from the 88th to the 78th in United University.

Don’t look at this ranking jump as just 10 places, seemingly not a huge leap; however, just think about this promotion list, which isn’t a competition among peers, but among all students within the All Alliance.

How big is the Alliance?

Six Star Systems.

How many schools and students are there in the territories of these six Star Systems?

Countless.

Shen Sheng, with her sophomore strength, can challenge countless seniors in higher grades, which is enough to demonstrate her strength.

The commander of Camp 3 was Shen Sheng.

Shen Sheng obtained the victory in the camp battle quicker than her.

Hmm~

It’s not that hard to accept.

But!

Still annoying though.

Ji You frowned, saying, "She could end the camp battle before me, but why did she finish hours earlier?"

Lou laughed and said, "You use trickery, and she uses the King’s Way. With her influence, a single command can gather all strength and push through effortlessly. This result is only natural for her."

Ji You: "..."

"What?" Ji You pointed at herself, a bit shocked, "What trickery? What King’s Way? I’m using trickery?"

Lou glanced at Ji You, saying grumpily, "Aren’t your messy tactics just that? As a victim, I feel I have the right to say that it’s definitely trickery!"

"That’s called strategy! Strategy!" Ji You looked displeased, emphasizing, "My strategy doesn’t involve being profound or grandiose, but achieving the greatest results at the lowest cost. I think that’s a commander’s duty."

"So it’s trickery then." Lou looked innocently at Ji You.

Ji You’s face darkened as she raised her fist, "Come on, let’s discuss this further."

"Ahem..." Lou cleared his throat, saying, "The saying of King’s Way and trickery wasn’t coined by me; it’s summarized by netizens."

"See for yourself." Lou pointed to the comments on the Light Computer, and kindly said, "You’d better be cautious, maybe wear a hood or a mask before you go out, or else you might just get beaten up the moment you step outside."

Ji You wasn’t the least bit intimidated, "Afraid? Whoever dares, I’ll beat them to death."

Lou replied, "There might be a bunch, maybe not exactly accurate to say a bunch, but at least around 1,000."

"Everyone in Camp 6 won’t let you off."

"Ahem..." Ji You, trying to act tough, swung her fist, and then immediately asked, "Lou, have you prepared a hood for me?"

Lou: "..."

Lou said, "You’d better pray for your own safety."

Ji You cursed, "Plastic brotherhood."

Then.

Ji You glanced at the comments on Lou’s Light Computer, finding that, indeed, many people were commenting on her and Shen Sheng’s recent battles.

Discussions about trickery and the King’s Way were the most common.

For example:

"I personally like Shen Sheng’s approach, straightforward and sharp. Ji You’s moves are too numerous and too sneaky, not my cup of tea."

"I also liked Shen Sheng’s battle, it was so exciting and exhilarating."

"Crushing through with the King’s Way, no matter what conspiracies, monsters, or demons, they all reveal their true forms and are completely defeated!"

"Shen Sheng’s battle was thrilling to watch, I wish I could join in the fight."

...

Lou was engrossed in the comments and edited battle videos of Shen Sheng, when suddenly he felt a salty pig’s hand beside him; someone suddenly pressed his virtual keyboard, Lou: "??? Don’t get excited, I’m just browsing."

Ji You pressed the keyboard aggressively, "I say, you write."

Lou’s fingers trembled, "Huh?"

Ji You lowered her eyes, saying, "Hurry and write, just say—You mediocre folks only see the simple fighting. Ji You is actually the strongest. My favorite is Ji You’s battle, where she led her team to victory with unparalleled wisdom and relentless effort. She’s so dazzling, so strong, so smart, so cute, so beautiful, so strong..."

Lou: "..."

Lou, holding the keyboard, couldn’t continue writing and said, "Can you use fewer flamboyant adjectives?" Seriously—

I’ve got goosebumps everywhere.

Ji You thought for a moment and said, "Think of how to write it yourself, just make sure to write as much as you can, and the main idea should be to praise me in various ways."

Lou: "..."

Ji You patted his shoulder, smiling, "In short, one thing: Ji You is the strongest! Got it?"

"..." Lou pouted, "I shouldn’t have agreed to the principal to come concern myself with you."

Seriously.

What kind of trouble did I get myself into?

Then.

Under Ji You’s pressure and watchful gaze, Lou reluctantly wrote a few lines and posted them. Only then was Ji You satisfied, releasing her hold with a smile.

Then.

The moment Lou gained his freedom, he turned his head and found Ji You had put on a vest herself, starting to debate with various netizens.

"I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with your opinion. Between the battles of Shen Sheng and Ji You, who’s superior or inferior cannot be judged by the length of time or the excitement level of the battlefield."

"Does the battlefield only focus on excitement and satisfaction? What about the cost of war materials and casualties? This is a competition, but it’s also a war. What were the casualties for Shen Sheng’s team? What about Ji You’s?"

"What is trickery? What is the King’s Way? Protecting your soldiers and defending your land is the right way!"
