The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: Research Notes

Chu Jiaojiao and the others were going to the Body Building Room, and when they learned Ji You was heading to the library, a Floating Car pulled up beside Ji You. Sheng Qingyan, using a particularly disdainful tone, said: "Poor dead, oh, seeing as it’s on the way to the library, I suppose I could give you a lift."

Gazing at Ji You’s face, Chu Jiaojiao looked deeply concerned and sincerely suggested: "I think what we should really do is send Ji You to the medical room. Otherwise, I have good reason to suspect she’ll wait until her face heals on its own."

Ji You touched her cheek. The feeling of itchiness came from her skin automatically repairing itself. Ji You contemplated seriously and said: "Jiaojiao, you really are my plastic sister. This suggestion is great, at least it’ll save me 5000 credit points."

Chu Jiaojiao: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao looked as if she had just swallowed a fly.

The others also cast disdainful glances at Ji You.

Yue Qiyuan said faintly: "Honestly, I’ve seen this face so much I’m feeling nauseous, yet gradually getting used to it, which I think is a truly horrifying thing. This kind of subtle, silent influence is the most terrifying part."

Ji You with her number 4444 has this kind of ability; whatever she does, she has the knack of making everyone adapt to her.

After serious thought, Yue Qiyuan said: "I’ve decided from now on when I talk to her, I absolutely won’t look at her face."

Yue Qiguang shouted: "Dad too."

Sheng Qingyan pouted: "I will too, oh."

Shen Changqing pressed his lips together, paused, and said softly: "+1."

...

Then, a group of people raised their chins, not deigning to give Ji You even a glance. Ji You was speechless for a moment and cursed: "Is a face really that important? It’s just a shell!"

Chu Jiaojiao shouted: "Important!"

The others also glared at Ji You.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You said: "Alright, tomorrow I will get my face fixed."

Then, Ji You jumped onto the Floating Car, directing it first to the library. Once she arrived, Ji You hopped out and thanked the group.

The library was very large, took up a significant space, essentially equivalent to a museum that stored various materials collected since the founding of Lanyue Star, including a wide array of topics. Honestly, even if you tried to browse through the books one by one, in several decades you might not finish exploring everything.

Of course, Ji You wouldn’t search through the books layer by layer, floor by floor; she only needed to skillfully use the search functionality to quickly sift out the information she wanted.

The school’s newly implemented reward system allowed Ji You free entry to the library. She followed the search procedure, inputting the keyword ’Soul Device,’ and soon the search results appeared.

[Result: 0]

Ji You thought she had made an error, so she searched again, still finding nothing.

As Ji You frowned, preparing for a third search, a slightly aged voice suddenly came from nearby: "What are you looking for?"

Hearing this voice, Ji You’s scalp immediately began to tingle. She slowly turned her face to see Professor Ye Hong’s stern, wrinkled face, then forced a smile: "Professor Ye... You... Hello."

Professor?

By rights, since Ji You was his student, she should be calling him teacher. Ye Hong furrowed his brows but didn’t correct her; instead, he continued: "What are you looking for?"

Ji You said: "I’m trying to find knowledge regarding Soul Artifact manufacturing."

Ye Hong’s face instantly darkened, his tone extremely unhappy: "Why are you looking for this?"

Seeing this old head, Ji You understood why she had been feeling uneasy. It was akin to casually snacking, kicking back in class, only to suddenly be confronted with the disciplinary director wielding a ruler.

Despite how unpopular she was, Professor Ye Hong evidently had no self-awareness, and furrowed his brow saying: "Do you believe that your spiritual power, which can encompass both the Combat and Material Departments, should now also include Soul Artifact Manufacturing?"

Ji You: "Ahem... I’m just trying to learn a bit about it."

Ye Hong coldly said: "A person’s focus shouldn’t be scattered; it should be concentrated. You’ve already spent very little time on Material Science, and if you want to quit the Material Department, just report early and I will approve it immediately."

Ji You: "..."

This conversation is dead.

The old man’s temper truly stinks.

Sigh!

Ji You pondered for a while and tried a different approach: "Professor, you’ve misunderstood. I want to learn this knowledge because I believe it greatly helps my Material Science research, since when I handle materials, I discover that a large part of the final quality depends on how spiritual power is utilized."

With a slight pause, Ji You noticed Professor Ye Hong’s complexion visibly brightening, thinking that the old professor really was a donkey that needed to be coaxed along.

Speaking in line with his thinking was indeed more effective.

Ji You continued: "Therefore, the general consensus in the field—that the high or low level of spiritual power is unimportant—is actually a significant misconception; when processing materials, spiritual power level is quite important, and its application is even more crucial. How to utilize spiritual power more efficiently? I thought of Soul Devices, the success rate of Soul Artifact manufacturing is also related to spiritual power usage, so does our material processing mirror the principles of Soul Device manufacturing?"

Ji You threw out question after question, and Professor Ye Hong’s expression was completely relieved. He looked at Ji You and said: "Your analysis makes sense."

After saying this.

He unexpectedly pulled out something from his Space Button and tossed it to Ji You: "Take a good look."

Ji You was stunned and looked down to find it was a black notebook, a paper notebook with notes written in fountain pen ink.

Ji You was surprised, "Professor, this is?"

S catching sight of Ji You’s face made Professor Ye Hong’s expression sour; he simply snorted coldly and said: "Years of research, a handwritten notebook on the relationship between Soul Artifact Manufacturing and material processing."

Ji You: "!!!"

This thing sounded absolutely precious. She hurriedly said: "Professor... This... How about, you give me an electronic version instead?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Ye Hong snorted coldly and said: "There is no electronic version."

With these words, Ye Hong turned and walked away.

Ji You suddenly felt a bit at a loss, even a bit touched. Although Professor Ye Hong hadn’t explicitly said it, this notebook was evidently extremely valuable, as it might be the sole copy.

Ji You clutched the notebook tightly, wishing she could turn to Professor Ye Hong and express her gratitude. Suddenly, Professor Ye Hong whipped around and said: "I forgot to mention, after reading it, based on the experimental results, write me no less than a 10,000-word report. In 3 days, I want to see the report. 3 days later is when Ji You and several other advancing students will head to the Space Rift, so that’s all the time I can give."

Ji You: "..."

Professor, wait!

I’ll go bald because of this!
