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

Chapter 87: Chapter 45: An Undisputed Victory

Hua Yanluo and Zhu Mengtong chatted idly about various topics, while the battle below became increasingly intense. One after another, beautiful and perfect high-level maneuvers were performed without hesitation, creating a glamorous visual feast!

As it’s often said, insiders watch the skills, outsiders watch the spectacle. Most of the audience were either ordinary people in reality or students from the Xilena First Affiliated School. Either they didn’t understand mecha and were just watching for fun, or they hadn’t reached that level, so these advanced maneuvers were far beyond them. They looked spectacular but trying to articulate the technicalities was quite challenging.

A fan club waving a banner said to a nearby friend, ”Today’s match by the Queen is really exciting. I feel like there are a lot of things I’ve never seen before. I wonder if there will be any related explanation videos after the match.”

The friend hesitated a moment, then said, ”That’s hard to say. Although the previous advanced maneuvers were rare, they were still within reach. But today’s display... to actually perform them, you probably need substantial external hardware and internal skills.”

With Su Jiameng’s streak of wins in the challenge matches soaring, the videos she posted on video-sharing sites have become must-watch tutorials for many mecha enthusiasts. Although most of them in reality lack the ability to start or pilot mechas, it doesn’t hinder their passion and enthusiasm for mechas. Though they are ordinary people in reality, in the virtual network, they can drive mechas to their heart’s content. These videos are daily must-reads for them.

”That’s true...” the other said somewhat disappointedly, but soon their entire attention was captured by the intense scene below.

In the entire audience, the only ones who could be considered insiders were Zhu Mengtong and Hua Yanluo, who were former or current lieutenants. To outsiders, Zhang Yiqi and Su Jiameng seemed evenly matched, with neither able to overcome the other. But they knew very well that from start to finish, Zhang Yiqi was always constrained by the other’s rhythm. Su Jiameng’s attack speed was always a beat slower, yet she suppressed the opponent...

”This genius junior has really hit a solid iron wall today.” Hua Yanluo said with a slight smile while pinching her chin. ”This match makes people’s blood boil, making me want to go down and play a round myself.”

”Don’t be careless.” Zhu Mengtong put away the mental fluctuation chart she had before. Just then, the brain computer emitted a series of beeping sounds. Upon checking, it was a message from that institute director. She told Hua Yanluo, ”I need to go see someone now. You keep watching the match. Shiyi asked me to remind you not to forget the group training time...”

”Got it, got it.” Hua Yanluo waved her hand without raising her head. Zhu Mengtong turned into a white light and exited the competition field.

Zhu Mengtong entered the coordinates sent by the other party into the link and transmitted to that place. Once her vision cleared, she walked into a tea room styled with simplicity yet not lacking in understated elegance, and pushed the wooden door open. There was already someone sitting inside.

”Sit down.” The person gestured towards the seat in front of him as Zhu Mengtong entered.

The owner of this tea room is an enthusiast of Earth Era ancient culture, striving to make the architecture close to that era. Making and enjoying tea in this tea room was an extreme pleasure, and generally, people couldn’t get a spot. Of course, the price for a visit was also prohibitively high.

However, this was in a virtual network, so the tea room had a few more rooms than in reality, and the price was lower by twenty percent.

Zhu Mengtong wasn’t someone who particularly liked tea. By comparison, she preferred those hot drinks that could dispel her drowsiness.

”There’s nothing major with recent physical data, right? Is your mental state and physical ability still declining?”

Zhu Mengtong nodded lightly and said, ”There are indeed signs of decline, but the situation has been controlled after injecting the medicine.”

Qiu Yexuan frowned. In the entire institute, only she knew the exact effects of this medicine. Everyone else thought it was for treating Simoles Deficiency Syndrome. But in fact, it was not. The medicine was used to stagnate nerves and physical abilities.

Although it could control the aggravation of Simoles Deficiency Syndrome to a certain extent, overusing it would ruin mental and physical potential. Fortunately, Zhu Mengtong hadn’t used it much, so it wouldn’t have a significant impact. ”Don’t use that medicine for now. I’ll be on Qiming Star in ten days. By then, according to the original plan, we’ll seal the lesion.”
