Chapter 500: Chapter 500

"Really not?" The group was skeptical and persisted in questioning with suspicious looks on their faces.

"I really don’t have it!" Sheng Qingyan pouted and stomped her foot with force: "Why would I lie to you guys?"

"Oh—" Hearing that Sheng Qingyan didn’t manage to grab it either, Ji You and others immediately lost interest in her. Ji You glared at her buddies by her side and disdainfully said: "Boring! A bunch of non-chiefs! Stay away from me during lucky draws from now on, lest you jinx me."

I really want to beat her up, what should I do?

Seeing the itchy expressions on their faces, Ji You curled her lips and said: "Don’t be unconvinced. If it weren’t for my quick thinking, not one of us would have managed to grab anything."

Such shameless, sinister, and cunning methods, aside from Ji You, indeed not many could have thought of them.

Ji You yawned and said, "I’m off to sleep."

"Oh right!" Ji You stopped and stared at Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao, saying: "Shen Changqing, about the 150,000, please transfer it to me immediately. I don’t extend credit here."

Shen Changqing said earnestly: "I don’t have the tradition or the mindset to give credit either."

Is this honest person making fun of me?

The system notification indicated an addition of 150,000 credit points in the account.

Ji You smiled and looked towards Shen Changqing, saying: "Classmate Shen Changqing, you must keep up your fine traditions and mindset."

Without waiting for Shen Changqing to say anything, Ji You immediately turned towards Chu Jiaojiao and said: "Jiaojiao, I’ll also give you the other Soul Device I have, but you have to give me 150,000 as a service charge."

She originally intended to ask for 100,000, but on second thought, considering Chu Jiaojiao, this tycoon, this fat sheep, it’d be a waste not to fleece her!

Might as well rob the rich to help the poor.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao didn’t say a second word and immediately made the transfer, still giggling: "Ji You, you’re so pretty, I really like you so much!"

Got fleeced and still helping to count the money, that must be referring to a fool like Chu Jiaojiao, right?

Fortunately, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others didn’t know her alt account, otherwise...

After a session of compliments, Ji You was satisfied and ready to log off. Before doing so, she looked up and glanced at Sheng Qingyan, who was pouting and stamping her feet, pretending to be angry and frustrated because she hadn’t snatched a Soul Device...

Compared to her own act, which could even make the Oscar Little Golden Man feel ashamed, Sheng Qingyan’s acting could hardly be described as ’exaggerated’ in just two words.

Ji You was certain that in just a few seconds, the secret that Sheng Qingyan had sneakily grabbed a Soul Device would be discovered by Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and others.

Unable to bear watching his wretched state later, Ji You decided to log off and rest.

Of course, the reason why Ji You knew Sheng Qingyan had grabbed a Soul Device wasn’t that she was prescient or saw him grab it, but because she had sneakily cheated for Sheng Qingyan in the backend.

With the cyber competition finals looming, that person called Little Cutie, Ji You was 100 percent sure it was Sheng Qingyan.

Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee was Chu Jiaojiao.

Xiaoqing was Shen Changqing.

Adding herself from Lanyue Star Military Academy’s freshman class, as far as Ji You knew, in total, only 4 people had made it to the finals. The finals circle was full of experts, and the battle would definitely be fiercer. Ji You couldn’t offer much help elsewhere, but she still quietly did everything possible to snag a chance to boost the strength of her buddies.

That’s why Ji You leveraged this opportunity to claim the rights to purchase two Soul Devices, and then transferred both of them to Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao.

Of course, if Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan, the brothers, had advanced to the finals instead of Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao being eliminated, Ji You would definitely have given the two Soul Devices to the Yue Family brothers without favoring one over the other.

These things, Ji You did not explain clearly to her little friends, some things, there is no need to say out loud.

Having done what she set out to do, she quietly slips away, her contributions and fame remaining unrecognized.

Watching her innocent, pure, and adorable little friends still in the dark, Ji You’s face bore a slight smile as she decided to simply log off and rest.

A good night’s dream.

The next day, Ji You woke up, feeling refreshed, and started counting her money.

Three zeros. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net

Seven Soul Devices sold for a total of 39.1 million credit points, Ji You was so overjoyed she couldn’t close her mouth.

A craftsman will never starve anywhere, as long as they have a skill, they’ll never worry about not making money.

Ji You thought of her 500 million debt, and her smile faded in a blink.

At this moment, Ji You received a message from Cheng Yu. Thinking of the red-haired man who caused trouble yesterday, Ji You’s face grew serious, and she immediately entered the Star Network to initiate communication with Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu did not expect the Master to respond so quickly, and even took the initiative to send him a communication request. For a moment, his heart was both happy and a bit bitter.

Cheng Yu looked at Green Glaze Master, still wearing a mask and hiding her true appearance, forced a smile on his face and said, "Master, you’re up early today."

Ji You said, "Good morning, you worked hard last night. I’ve just transferred your compensation."

1,000 credit points to hire a sales talent, such a deal was simply too profitable.

At this moment, Cheng Yu was not using his Star Network avatar, but his real appearance. With a weary look on his plump face, he still mustered up the energy and said, "Master, there is something that, after long consideration, I’ve decided not to hide from you... it’s..."

Ji You, watching the expression on Teacher Cheng Yu’s face, already understood and said, "You’re talking about the red-haired incident, aren’t you?"

Cheng Yu was slightly surprised: "Master, you guessed it?"

Ji You said, "I’ve somewhat guessed it. Do you have a grudge with the red-haired man? Or with the person behind the scenes who directed the red-haired man?"

Cheng Yu’s lips showed a bitter smile as he shook his head and then nodded, saying, "I don’t know the red-haired man, but I investigated his information overnight and found some clues. I’m certain that he came for me. It’s actually a family disgrace. I have a half-brother who has always opposed me, and he recently discovered my online identity. So, when he learned that I was working for your store, he stepped in to intervene."

Ji You frowned slightly, listening in silence.

Cheng Yu chuckled bitterly, continuing, "He’s doing all this, in fact, just to spoil the relationship between you and me. By causing trouble for the Master, you would certainly get sick of me and fire me right away. My brother’s personality is extremely insidious; he will not stop until he achieves his objective. His plan failed yesterday, but he will surely have other tricks up his sleeve, so..."

Speaking of which, as if making up his mind, Cheng Yu turned to Ji You, and said, "Master... after thinking it over, I’ve decided not to cause trouble for you anymore. I won’t be your salesman in the future."

Saying this, despite the regret, Cheng Yu also felt as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Ji You knit her brows and said, "The employees I hire, have no reason to ask to resign on their own."

This kind of overbearing, unreasonable Master, strangely shines with human warmth.
