From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!

Chapter 19: Chapter 12: Dawn of Hope

After finishing one match, the five of them immediately threw themselves into another. Although doing so made them mentally exhausted, watching the negative scores gradually decrease and the winning streaks increase was truly satisfying beyond words.

”It’s really life-threatening...” By midnight, the score finally turned into a lovely positive score (＾▽＾)? Congratulations!!!

K3 and the others, full of spiritual power, said they wanted to go singing to celebrate, but Su Jiameng, worried about the two eggs at home, declined, ”If I don’t go back now, I’m afraid the kids will go hungry. Remember to message me tomorrow, I’m logging off now, (^_^)/~~bye-bye.”

Before Xu Na could persuade her to stay, Su Jiameng had already transformed into a white light and disappeared. Xu Na could only touch her nose and mutter, ”So anxious, could it really be her own kids? What a strange person, Boss Qin, you really found a treasure this time.”

”Hahaha... just lucky, but I really wouldn’t want to face her again.” K3 scratched his head with a silly smile, and his words received unanimous agreement from the other team members. Su Jiameng always took the main attack and controlled the field, her grasp of offensive timing was so strong that it made one suspect she might have the ability of a Prophet.

Besides that, once Su Jiameng entered combat mode, she seemed to change completely, becoming sharp and ruthless with no room for resistance.

Having such a person as a partner is a blessing, but as an opponent, it’s unfortunate. Xu Na and the others went to singing, venting all the frustrations they had previously endured, like turning over a new leaf. They currently have a winning streak of 19 matches, the more matches, the closer to five thousand! If they could win 19 matches a day, by the start of the school term, their point level might be the highest among their peers...

Of course, this is just a beautiful wish. Winning streaks in solo battles are relatively easy, but not in team battles, as there are too many variables. They don’t ask for much, reaching five thousand points would already be very satisfying.

Xu Na emerged from the mechanical nutrient capsule, a smile still on her face. Although they went through long periods of intense battles, with the aid of the mechanical nutrient capsule, she didn’t feel much discomfort upon waking. As the door to the room opened automatically, she saw her honest and taciturn brother also coming out of his room as she went downstairs, and the siblings met at the staircase.

”Morning, bro.” Xu Na took two wet towels from the robot maid, used one herself, and handed the other to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei wiped his face with the towel and asked his sister, ”Hmm, training?”

The Xu siblings went to the home training room to warm up for more than an hour, letting their bodies stretch and exercise. They didn’t choose high-intensity training because it would put their spirits in a relatively sluggish, fatigued state, which would affect their performance in the virtual network competition. This moderate warm-up was enough to adjust their state to the best.

”Ah Lei, Nana, come down to eat.” Mrs. Xu sent a short message to the two children; Xu Na and Xu Lei just finished freshening up and were feeling hungry, ”Today, there’s your favorite food, specially made encouragement feast.”

At this time, Mr. Xu was sitting in the main seat, reading the morning’s current news, and said without lifting his head, ”Should be a comfort feast, right?”

”Dad~~~” Xu Na sat in her seat, acting coquettishly towards Father Xu, ”Encouragement is good enough, no need for comfort.”

The Xu siblings’ team encountered a traitor, and Father Xu and Mrs. Xu knew about it, hence the ”encouragement and comfort”.

Because of this matter, the two children had been furious and irritated for a whole day, which made the parents anxious.

”No progress yet?” Father Xu put away the news, took the chopsticks handed over by Mrs. Xu, and suggested to the two children, ”Dad has a few colleagues whose kids are pretty good, why don’t you team up with them, you should be able to reach enough points before the school term starts.”

Xu Na knew that most of her dad’s colleagues’ children were senior students, so if they teamed up with them, it would feel like mooching points and boosting scores. She wouldn’t agree to such opportunistic actions.

”There is progress, the score has already returned to positive. At this rate, reaching five thousand by the school term shouldn’t be a problem.” While saying this, a mischievous and proud smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Xu Na’s mouth, ”Boss Qin found a treasure.”

”Positive points?” Father Xu and Mrs. Xu exchanged glances. They remembered that by yesterday noon, the score was still a negative two hundred or so, right?

”Yes, we had a winning streak of 19 matches yesterday, pulled the score up.” Xu Na thought she should buy more nutrient liquid specifically for the mechanical nutrient capsule, so that if such high-intensity matches continued, it would help ease the discord between mind and body.
