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

Chapter 32: Chapter 19: The Second Transaction

In her past life, she had started this physical training at three or four years old, when her body was easy to stretch and exercise. But this body is already sixteen, missing the easiest years for learning, and can only endure more hardship. After physical training, she would take a shower and eat bread, then recharge her energy to participate in virtual net competitions, going offline halfway to supplement the eggs with nutrient liquid...

Day by day, the five-member team’s achievements were splendid, with a winning streak that had already reached 57 games. Originally, the streak could have been even longer, but three days ago, the Mecha Fighting Arena notified the team to advance to G District for team battles. Su Jiameng didn’t feel much, but K3 and the others clearly felt an increase in pressure, with some battles even dragging on for an hour before achieving a hard-fought victory.

After reaching G District, Su Jiameng handed control of the battlefield back to K3. The school allows students to participate in mecha combat competitions to train them in battlefield adaptability and mecha operation skills. They are the main force in the competition, while Su Jiameng is only the last fortress to ensure victory. Although the progress is slow, the effect is very good and immediate.

”Xiao Meng, Uncle notified me that he will arrive in about five days. If you have anything you want to take, remember to prepare in advance.” The team had just finished a match, where the significant difference in strength between the opposing sides made K3 and the others particularly struggling.

In contrast, the calm and unfazed Su Jiameng stood out, not sweating or panting.

She nodded to show she understood, but she didn’t think she needed to prepare anything. She was planning to check and modify her competition mecha, when a warm flow of heat came from her left wrist, accompanied by a beeping sound.

Su Jiameng frowned slightly, then thought of something and informed K3 and the others before logging off. Just as she exited the virtual net, an egg flew towards her, which she caught in her hand and helplessly said, ”The ambush technique is too poor...”

Thanks to the nourishment of sufficient nutrient liquid, the two eggs were becoming more lively and rowdy day by day. Su Jiameng had spoken to them several times to no avail, and now they’ve even learned ”ambush.” Luckily, she always leaves a watchful eye when doing things, locking both the room door and windows tightly when logging into the virtual net. Otherwise, with their frantic energy, she doesn’t know where they would have flown off to.

”Behave in the nutrient liquid, and there will be a reward for good behavior.” Su Jiameng returned the egg to the nutrient liquid, then found the other mischievous one playing hide and seek under the bed. ”Come out quickly, or I’ll go in and catch you.”

The egg hesitated for two circles in place, then unwillingly rolled out. Su Jiameng cleaned its eggshell and let the two eggs meet in the nutrient liquid. After doing these, she finally had time to deal with the fellow from the Plane Trading Platform.

”Sorry (ˉ□ˉ), Mr. XXX2011161140, the kids at home are too mischievous, which delayed my response.”

After sending the message, the other party quickly replied with a concise tone, ”It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry.”

Su Jiameng silently took note of his words. If he weren’t in a hurry, he’d have been replying too quickly. After thinking for a moment, she uploaded the previously agreed data to the seller’s section, but instead of initiating the transaction, he sent over a list. ”What is this?”

”Shopping list, check if there’s anything you need on it.” The other party sent a speechless O__O”...” emoticon and then very seriously complained, ”The range you provided last time was too broad...”

Su Jiameng went through the entire list, which contained thousands of items in total. The variety made her feel ashamed. If she had the skill to buy all these things, she could open shop as an arms dealer. Items like a gravity training room, Su Jiameng chose the best option, the maximum gravity can reach one hundred and fifty times! Mighty and majestic!

You should know, Su Jiameng’s previous gravity training room had a maximum gravity of only sixty times!

How Mr. XXX2011161140 managed to get such formidable items remains a mystery, truly impressive! Su Jiameng swiftly browsed through the list, selecting more and more items. Her eyes caught onto the specialized initial training nutrient liquid for Mecha Masters, and she grandly ordered two thousand bottles. Five thousand intermediate nutrient liquids, ten thousand high-level ones.

The training of Mecha Masters cannot do without the supplement of nutrient liquids. The potential of the body is important, but external support is indispensable. After all, the daily training volume of Mecha Masters is extremely daunting, and without these specialized training nutrient liquids, the organism cannot be repaired promptly after training, resulting only in fundamental damage. You might not even be able to become stronger and avoiding premature death would be fortunate.

Seeing the volume size of a training nutrient liquid bottle, Su Jiameng fell silent. A baby nutrient liquid bottle is approximately the size of a small wine barrel, while a training nutrient liquid is a full repair tank! And the prices of both are equivalent, she felt she profited.

Gravity training room, training nutrient liquid, extreme training equipment, extreme environment simulator, Mecha simulation training equipment...

Selected over thirty items, then also considered the degree of damage to the items, adding more of the ones that are more easily damaged. Finally confirmed that there were no omissions, then sent the selected list to the other party, ”Let’s choose these...”

The other party waited for a moment, then left a brief sentence, ”Please wait a moment.”

About three or four minutes later, the buyer’s item column suddenly filled with a series of item images. Seeing a heap of images in the buyer’s column and looking at the two small boxes on her own side, suddenly felt that these two sets of data were really valuable! However, both seemed to underestimate the price of those two sets of data, resulting in a huge difference and an unsuccessful transaction.

Su Jiameng didn’t want the prey she’d already trapped to fly away, so she quickly sent a short message, ”Do you have any finished Mechas over there?”

The other party also seemed troubled by this matter, and seeing Su Jiameng take the initiative to propose a solution, replied, ”Yes.”

Seeing the list provided by the other party, Su Jiameng nearly let her drool (ˉ﹃ˉ) flow like water down three thousand feet, the Mechas inside were all very high-end and upscale, some she’d piloted before, some she’d heard of but couldn’t afford...

”There is actually also the King of Assassination—Ghost Shadow, Firepower Gun Turret—Military Fortress, Invincible at Sea—Poseidon...” Damn! The guy on the other side is probably the real Arms Dealer, even the so-called Military God is here. With an excited heart, she quickly clicked to select five Mechas, excluding Military God, the rest were more extreme Mechas.

For instance, the Military Fortress completely gives up other advantages to enhance firepower to the maximum, it’s said that a fully equipped Military Fortress with its battle power fully activated can bombard a relatively small planet completely within half a day. However, its gigantic size is also worrisome; the Military Fortresses she’d seen in her previous life had 94% of the weapons uninstalled, yet even so, their size reached a massive hundred meters.

The trading system estimated the price a second time, showing there was a shortage of more than 2000 Credit Points, the other party then directly added more than 300 Colorful Fruits to cover the price difference. Click, transaction successful! Fifty small slots filled completely.

This transaction amount was very large, the system generously awarded her 1381 Experience Points. Now, Plane Merchant Level Four, Experience Points 1505/1500, jumped directly from Level One to Level Four. After looking at the upgrade guide, it says every upgrade of a Plane Merchant gives a small gift pack and increases space slots by ten. More importantly, a Level Four merchant can trade once every day!

”Big profit made (ˉ﹃ˉ)...” Su Jiameng felt that in the future, she would definitely become an online shop owner staying at home, with such a sharp Plane Trading Platform, what couldn’t be done? But she was still rational, knowing her strengths and weaknesses.

On this Plane Trading Platform, everyone was trading something they needed with each other. And she only had this high-tech data at hand, could she exchange spiritual pills with people from the Cultivation Plane? Even if she was willing, the other party would not agree!

Seeing Mr. XXX2011161140 still online, she told the other party about her doubts. It seemed completing a transaction made the other party very satisfied, he sent a message, ”When you reach Level Four Merchant, you can open a Plane Store, there you can also exchange. However, it charges a very high transaction fee, don’t mind going there to exchange.”

Plane Store? She searched and found a similarly dazzling little box beside the trading platform, clicked in, and the abundance of things almost blinded her. There are items from all kinds of planes! She carefully looked at the description of this Plane Store, finally understanding why Mr. XXX2011161140 didn’t suggest going to the store for exchange!

This store could not be more unscrupulous! For example, if Su Jiameng sells something to the store, the other party will deduct 20% of the transaction amount. If buying from the store, they also deduct 20%! Which means, selling something originally priced at 100 to the store, Su Jiameng will only get 80. And to buy the same priced item from the store, she’ll have to pay 120...

”Unless absolutely necessary, I will definitely not come here to buy things!” Su Jiameng gritted her teeth painfully, this store is too cutthroat.

If A sells something to store B, and store B then resells the item to customer C, the store earns a pure 40% profit on the item’s original price in just a transaction. Damn! This is even blacker than Heavenly Dynasty’s scalpers! Although she muttered this, Su Jiameng still looked at some items she was interested in. For example, the Elixirs from the Cultivation Plane... According to descriptions in those novels of her first life, they’re nothing short of exalted!

”Bone Strengthening Pill... Strong Bone Pill... Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill...” Looking down the row, the prices of the first two elixirs were the lowest, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill was slightly higher, but its effect greatly attracted Su Jiameng. If she could take these elixirs, combined with training, she would surely reach her previous life’s strength in the shortest time, maybe even become stronger, ”But this price is too expensive...”

Both the Bone Strengthening Pill and Strong Bone Pill are priced the same, one thousand Plane Points each, while the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill is ten thousand. When Su Jiameng’s Merchant Level upgraded, the system rewarded 18,000 Plane Points, so her pocket is still quite full.
