The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1053: Qingyou Taking Disciples?

After Charlie left, Jonna’s heart suddenly started pounding furiously.

Her intuition wasn’t wrong.

Qingyou Master’s array diagram has almost no damage to human spiritual power.

Because she was inside the laboratory, Jonna didn’t dare to speak out. She pretended to be calm and checked around the lab. Seeing everything was normal, she then walked into her office.

Then.

Jonna almost trembling, reached out, gently touched the Light Computer, then estimated her available time, and re-entered the Star Network.

Because she was unsure if Master Miki would suddenly make a demand, or if viewing Qingyou Master’s array diagram a second time might cause spiritual power issues, Jonna dared not rashly use her second viewing right.

She slowly walked to the street where Qingyou Master’s shop is located, and without getting close, she heard the noisy crowd in the distance, emotions running high, with the majority condemning Qingyou Master.

Jonna’s footsteps paused, showing an unbelievable expression.

[What are these people doing?]

[Are they publicly condemning a soul artifact maker?]

[Do they know what they’re doing?]

...

Countless thoughts flashed through Jonna’s mind. Listening to the angry curses around, she even felt a sense of absurdity in her heart!

These people probably don’t even know what they bought, do they?

That’s an array diagram!

That’s a priceless array diagram, something you definitely cannot buy.

It’s an array diagram!

Fools!

Do you know, in your ordinary lives, this may be the closest you’ll ever get to a soul artifact array diagram in your lifetime.

Jonna even wanted to roar, telling these foolish people to shut up, but she didn’t protest. Because of her ordinary background, Jonna’s personality was not flamboyant; she would weigh the pros and cons in her heart before taking action.

Witnessing the farce at Qingyou Master’s shop entrance, Jonna told herself not to be impulsive, to observe first, and then see the situation.

Waiting and waiting...

The farce at the entrance continued, and Qingyou Master did not appear. Inside the shop, only the system’s shop assistant was active, the two human sales clerks didn’t show up.

Jonna lowered her head in thought.

Apparently, Qingyou Master did not intend to bother with this matter, or maybe Qingyou Master had some deeper intentions? Master opened the array diagram to the whole interstellar, yet most people couldn’t even recognize it as an array diagram, why make it open to the public then? Why do something so thankless?

Independently inscribing an array diagram is already very difficult, ensuring the diagram’s stability without it collapsing immediately is even harder. And now, Qingyou Master let so many people view it, this is making the difficult even more difficult! 10 credit points for one view?

Is that a lot?

Jonna glanced at the approximate sales volume, and even with full calculations, it’s just about 1 billion credit points earned, Master Mickey Dodge wastes hundreds of thousands or millions of credit points’ worth of materials every day. In comparison, Qingyou Master expended so much energy, yet earned only a little...

Why?

Could it be?

A thought crossed her mind, and Jonna suddenly looked up, shocked, at the humble and simple sign of ’Qingyou Shop’. Is Qingyou Master planning to cast a wide net and sift out apprentices?

Only this can explain Qingyou Master’s behavior!

Jonna’s heart was pounding!

Beating violently!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Her heart pounding, Jonna held her chest tightly, shaking her head vigorously, afraid to consider whether this thought was true or just her imagination.

Her father was a very ordinary agricultural machinery repairman on Nami Star, and her mother was just a regular farm worker. She also had an older brother, who had excellent talent and a promising future. However, when Jonna was 15, during a family trip, the spaceship they were on was attacked by a Star Beast. Her parents were both killed, and her brother, who protected Jonna, was injured, his spiritual power severely damaged. Regular medical methods couldn’t cure him, and he could only slowly heal with a Soul Device.

The already not wealthy family was further burdened.

As for the Soul Device?

The Soul Device was already an unimaginable luxury for a family like Jonna’s. With parents lost in the accident, leaving just the two siblings, it was even more unthinkable.

Her brother became more and more disheartened, and to avoid burdening Jonna, he even had thoughts of ending his life multiple times.

It was Jonna who stopped him. Her entry into the Mickey Dodge Laboratory wasn’t just because she wanted to learn to make soul devices herself, but also to build a relationship in hopes that Master Mickey Dodge would show mercy and make a custom soul device to heal her brother.

It’s been 5 years.

Jonna believed that with enough sincerity, she could eventually move Master Mickey.

However—

As time passed, not only could her brother wait no longer, but Jonna herself was losing confidence. She kept persisting without dignity, without freedom, working hard in the Mickey Dodge Laboratory simply because the salary was high. Her monthly wages could significantly improve her home’s condition. If she saved persistently, perhaps in decades, she might save enough to buy a soul device on the Star Network?

...

The condemnations of Qingyou Master were still echoing in her ears, but Jonna couldn’t hear any of it. Her mind was occupied with that single thought—

Qingyou Master is recruiting apprentices!

No!

Even if it’s just recruiting for odd jobs, she is willing! Even if Qingyou Master could heal her brother, she’s willing to give her life without a second thought.

Jonna stepped forward, trying to squeeze into Qingyou Master’s shop, but after struggling for a long time, she still couldn’t get in. Helpless, she had to step back and earnestly sent a self-recommendation letter to Qingyou Master.

No surprise, the letter was immediately bounced back by the system, with a notification that Qingyou Master had refused to accept any letters.

Jonna stared blankly at the letter, her fingertips trembling.

Disappointment, sadness, pain...

In the next second, Jonna pulled herself together and told herself it’s okay; she still had 99 more viewing rights, and she didn’t know the exact shape, structure, or principles of that array diagram, how could Qingyou Master possibly recruit her as a student?

No rush.

First, complete all of Qingyou Master’s challenges entirely, then discuss further.

Jonna regained her confidence.

...

On the other side.

Ji You was about to exit the Star Network when suddenly received communication from Cheng Yu. Ji You pondered, realizing they had suddenly updated without informing their ID salesperson beforehand, causing the salesperson to perhaps be a bit upset. Such employees who ask for no pay and work diligently are hard to find.

There was a need to soothe the salesperson.

Thus, Ji You answered the call.

Cheng Yu’s enlarged chubby face almost dominated the entire communication screen, his facial fat trembling, and the corners of his mouth quivering: "Ma...Master...are you...are you going to take in students?"

Taking in students?

What does that even mean? Ji You looked utterly baffled.

Ji You knew very well what she had, she didn’t dare to take in students, and thus shook her head, saying, "No."

Cheng Yu: "Then?"

Ji You replied calmly, "Just making a little money, that’s all."

"..." Cheng Yu blinked: "Ma...Master, you’re short on money?"

Ji You’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly, then firmly gritted her teeth to deny it, her voice slightly cold, "Do you think I’m short on money? Or did you contact me just to talk about such a trivial thing?"

"No, no, no..." Cheng Yu hurriedly denied it.

How could the Master lack money?

In the entire interstellar, the soul artifact makers are the least in need of money, Qingyou Master absolutely cannot be short of money.

Absolutely.
