The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1372: The Beautiful Girl and the Slacker

The ’Beautiful Girl Commander’ Xia Dandan is quite famous in the 7th Camp, not only because of her stunning looks but also because she’s ruthless and decisive. In a short time, she’s gathered a big group around her.

Even the Commander of the 7th Camp can’t overshadow her.

Later on, the Commander seemed to have no way to control her, and didn’t directly order her to quickly follow commands. Instead, they went with the flow and let the Beautiful Girl Commander Xia Dandan be in charge of the 7th Camp’s outer defense.

Xia Dandan accepted it without pushing further, took the baton from the Commander, and firmly secured the 7th Camp’s perimeter.

By then, Xia Dandan’s influence had already covered the whole perimeter of the 7th Camp, especially the border areas with the enemy camp, almost entirely under her control.

Thus, the 7th Camp, almost inevitably, divided into two factions: one led by the official Commander, and the other led by the Beautiful Girl Commander Xia Dandan.

The internal division could lead to the rapid collapse of the entire team. However, the situation in the 7th Camp is somewhat unique. Xia Dandan seems to be very measured and didn’t directly turn against the Commander, but continued to nominally follow orders.

Ahem...

Of course, selectively.

For example, when the Commander agreed with her opinion, she executed quickly.

But!

When the Commander disagreed with her opinion, she’d make excuses, saying the wind was too strong and the day was too cold, and she was too frail and delicate to execute the orders...

In short, it gave the Commander a real headache.

Moreover, Xia Dandan has never met the Commander in person, and the Commander only knows from others that she’s exceedingly beautiful, radiant, and...

Then.

During an enemy attack, the Commander was suddenly injured and about to kick the bucket. Upon hearing the news, Xia Dandan reportedly covered her face and cried Yingyingying for quite a while. After repeatedly refusing, she had no choice but to take the big flag and declared she would avenge the Commander.

...

Xia Dandan has almost become a legend throughout the 7th Camp.

Ji You watched Xia Dandan’s maneuvers, deep in thought.

For a long time.

For a long time.

Ji You raised a hand, rubbed his forehead: "Why didn’t I think of that?"

Lou didn’t get it, asked, "Think of what?"

Ji You clapped his hands, "Beautiful Girl Commander!"

Lou: "..."

Lou was dumbfounded, said, "You want to play the Beautiful Girl Commander too? With you—"

Lou paused, glanced at Ji You, said, "I’ve heard this Beautiful Girl Commander is both stunning and fierce, tall and strong, capable of killing with a single punch."

Ji You touched his chin, pointing to his own face, "Am I not stunning and fierce?"

Lou said, "The part after that."

"Ahem..." Ji You put on a serious face, "All those details after that are trivial, as long as the big picture is fine."

Lou: "..."

Lou muttered to himself, "The problem is, that face of yours is something that just can’t be shown right now."

It’s a real battle, and the injuries gathered in the competition arena are certainly real too. Because of running in extreme conditions and experiencing intense battles, Ji You has almost not a single intact spot on her, especially her face, which is covered in blood marks and scratches, so hideous it would frighten anyone on the darkest of nights.

Ji You is completely unaware of how hideous her face looks and still points at it, saying, "If that fool Yue Qiguang can consider himself the Beautiful Girl Commander, why can’t I?"

Lou: "..."

Lou thought for a moment, sighed, "It’s my fault, no wonder I was eliminated early. It’s because I’m not twisted enough to fit in with you people."

Watching the screen, in the name of Xia Dandan, he had taken on the role of acting Commander of the 7th Camp, Yue Qiguang seemed unsatisfied, continuing to use the Beautiful Girl Commander trope to deceive and trick enemies on the border... Ji You chuckled, "Indeed, beauty is a deadly weapon! I’ve learned something."

Saying this, Ji You raised a hand, patted Lou on the shoulder, and laughed, "Lou, don’t sigh, don’t get discouraged. As long as you keep trying to learn, one day you will reach Yue Qiguang’s level."

Lou: "..."

The two continued to stare at the screen.

On the screen, the Commander finally succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

Then, Yue Qiguang, acting as the proxy Commander, swiftly gathered the original Commander’s troops. Even though occasionally a few people were not convinced, suspecting the Commander’s death might have another reason, but with no evidence of the opposite, or to say a stable regime is what the entire 7th Camp extremely needed, so with the majority’s approval, Yue Qiguang smoothly took control.

This time, Yue Qiguang faced almost no obstacles, smoothly implementing his directives.

The entire 7th Camp, in an exceedingly rapid manner, completed integration.

Next.

Yue Qiguang got rid of the conservative style, started making bold attempts, such as initiating the first sneak attack on the 8th Camp, and quickly succeeded.

Next.

Was the second battle.

The second battle encountered minor resistance, but still succeeded.

Next.

Was the third battle.

...

Under Yue Qiguang’s strong control power and step-by-step strategy, with the upper and lower team working as one, the 7th Camp gradually eroded the territory of the 8th Camp.

The 7th Camp’s offensive is like a tornado, unstoppable, seemingly about to attack the 8th Camp’s lair.

However, the Commander of the 8th Camp did nothing.

The Commander of the 8th Camp is almost the complete opposite of the always aggressive and enterprising Beautiful Girl Xia Dandan from the 7th Camp. This person is extraordinarily lazy, neither defending nor attacking, nor giving any instructions, behaving like a salted fish, hardly ever showing up, just staying in the small room of the Commander Base to sleep.

Simply—

Such a unique existence, that the entire arena can’t find any other like it.

And this unique existence, Ji You and Lou are very familiar with, he is—

Sheng Qingyan.

...

Lou watched the steadily advancing Yue Qiguang, feeling a bit nervous, a bit expectant, and a bit conflicted. He fiercely tugged at his hair, "Spicy Eye really plans to give up the competition?"

Ji You stared at the screen, said nothing.

Lou fiercely tugged at his hair, "Ah! If Spicy Eye keeps this up, he’ll definitely get beaten when he goes back. Teacher Mu and Principal Hong won’t let him off."

"Ugh!"

"Can’t he just move a little?"

"Why is he still sleeping?"

"With the situation so urgent, still sleeping!"

"If Yue Qiguang’s attack succeeds this time, it will almost cut off Sheng Qingyan’s hands, and by then, he won’t have a chance to fight back."

"It’s over."

"Ugh!" Lou stomped his foot, looking at Sheng Qingyan on the screen, feeling a strong sense of disappointment.

Ji You glanced at the frantic Lou, her dark eyes twinkled, smiled, "The momentum of the Beautiful Girl is strong, but who laughs last, remains to be seen."
