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

Chapter 38: Chapter 23: Let’s Go, Leaving the Slum Planet (Part 2)

If the telepathy of the two little guys is discovered, others would only look at her with ”pity and sympathy.”

The officer brought Su Jiameng a glass of plain water and said that if she needed anything, she could ask the lounge’s robot to assist her. The rescue spaceship had already started to return, and soon they would fly out of the poor planet and meet up with the main fleet in space. However, the spaceship might experience some turbulence as it crossed the atmosphere, which could be uncomfortable, so she should be mentally prepared.

As for him, he needed to return to the control room to await orders from Li You. Watching the officer leave with disciplined steps, Su Jiameng felt a slight relief; dealing with serious people really was exhausting.

After all, this was someone else’s territory. Even though there was no one else in the lounge, she couldn’t just casually take out a Colorful Fruit and start munching. Relying on her years of perception, at least twenty monitors were operating in this lounge. After considering it, she discreetly took out the previously prepared dry rations and the Colorful Fruit from a dimension grid, using the wrapping cloth as concealment.

Paired with plain water, the dry rations and Colorful Fruit became a rare delicacy on this journey. The two restless little ones had been wrapped up again and carried in front of her, secretly warned not to use their abilities recklessly.

Once the glass of plain water was finished, and the Colorful Fruit and dry rations were eaten, her stomach was roughly seventy percent full. She opened the interstellar network on her smart brain, and several messages from K3 inquired about her whereabouts, mentioning that the person who was supposed to pick her up couldn’t find her. The latest message asked if she had boarded the Cosmic Spaceship and how she found the environment there...

Su Jiameng replied to each one, then closed the friend list and surfed the web for topics of interest to pass the time. Since she was heading to Qiming Star, she focused on the news there. Logging into the Qiming Star forum, she found many sections and a lot of active users. Clicking randomly on a thread, it was an introduction to the local culture and scenery of Qiming Star.

”Truly deserving of Level One planet, the developments are indeed impressive.”

In her first life, Su Jiameng was fond of browsing forums, but in her second life, she was too busy to have such leisure. From the cultural section to the gossip section, Su Jiameng was highly entertained. This network speed is amazing, page switches were instantaneous, definitely worth a thumbs-up!

”Huh? There’s still this kind of ridiculous stuff in this era?” Su Jiameng was intrigued by a headline as striking as menstrual blood on the gossip forum, ”But posting a distress signal on Qiming Star’s Level One planet forum surely can’t escape benefits...”

At first, Su Jiameng thought the poster was a victim, but after reading the original poster’s messages, she was instantly speechless.

She really wanted to tell the original poster, ”You’re out of intelligence credits, and your standards have hit rock bottom. Don’t forget to recharge o(︶︿︶)o”

Su Jiameng checked the post date; it was from four days ago. On a Level One planet like Qiming Star, with a resident and student population of over 20 billion, forum posts usually sink instantly. Yet this post was not only popular for four days, it was pinned to the top by the moderators, and its temperature continued to rise, leaving Su Jiameng quite embarrassed.

The poster was a resident of a Level Four planet and a fourth-year student at a higher education institution. His title was so indignant that it easily attracted people who like drama or have a sense of justice and sympathy, while Su Jiameng was purely there for the drama. But she didn’t expect to become involved as the actual person concerned, making her truly bow in defeat OTZ

The content was simple, claiming there was a shocking scandal in the Mecha Fighting Arena and that students from Xilena First Affiliated School were complicit, engaging in all sorts of dark deals and disgusting scenarios, attracting numerous students and ordinary named individuals to watch. It was probably the idea of competition among peers. Students from the other Ten Great Universities’ affiliated schools also came in droves, cloaked in anonymity discussing fervently.

Alright, that’s the background setup of the incident. However, students of the Ten Great Universities’ affiliated schools aren’t fools; when they saw the original poster’s description, they instantly felt things weren’t that simple. Some student geniuses even managed to reveal the so-called ”Xilena First Affiliated School” people mentioned by the original poster, with ID names as glaring as menstrual blood, shocking the viewers! Damn! When Su Jiameng saw that CYF2012141150, she spat out a mouthful of old blood instantly!

First, how could she not know she was a student of Xilena First Affiliated School? Second, how could she be unaware she was a fifth-year high-level student there? Third, how did she not know she was from the Alliance’s high echelons and had ties to the Mecha Fighting Arena? Damn it, if she were that impressive, she wouldn’t be here making money!

Don’t forget to recharge your intelligence credits, dear. There are discounts online now, not 998, not 98, but just 9.8! A price this cheap, yet this idiot doesn’t know to recharge! Flaunting their intelligence here, are they out of their minds?

Continuing further down, the original poster started to lament. They claimed to be a student at some school, with holiday homework involving achieving victories in the Mecha Fighting Arena. They didn’t have any credit requirements; they just needed to achieve fifteen consecutive wins.

But for students to accomplish this assignment, it took them two months. Three days ago, they had fourteen consecutive wins, just one win away, but they lost to this CYF2012141150. In the Mecha Fighting Arena, people like Su Jiameng are exceptions and oddities. For these students, pushing the winning streak to fifteen requires not only skill but also a lot of luck.
