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

Chapter 177: Chapter 88: Two Cases [Pink 140+]

The next day, Gu Ningxuan subtly expressed that he had quite a bit of trouble himself, and feared someone might pick on Su Jiameng soon. If she found it difficult, he could pack up and leave.

To his surprise, Su Jiameng waved her hand with great bravado and said nonchalantly, ”Just yesterday, a fruitcake came up and needed a scolding, so I fulfilled his wish and sent him packing with my words.”

Gu Ningxuan: ”...” Is there something wrong with his hearing?

Yesterday, Su Jiameng had investigated that guy from the call; he was just a useless thug. But the mention of the Qiu Family from his mouth was somewhat concerning. Su Jiameng asked K3 about the Qiu Family, and K3’s answer put her mind at ease.

He said the Qiu Family had recently run into big trouble, being undermined by several high-ranking officials of the Alliance, and they were too busy dealing with their own mess, so she didn’t need to worry.

Well, since K3 said not to worry, Su Jiameng genuinely relaxed. When she had nothing to do, she played the role of a hacker, digging up some trivial dirt on the Qiu Family, adding some embellishments for fun.

Gu Ningxuan’s work was genuinely impressive. No matter what problem a robot had, he could find and fix it in the shortest time, greatly reducing failure rates, and improving the working efficiency of all the robots. Su Jiameng also parsimoniously scavenged for parts, piecing together several uniquely designed housekeeping robots and delivery bots.

Seeing the robots’ designs become increasingly fantasy-like, Gu Ningxuan’s aesthetics were refreshed over and over by Su Jiameng. He never thought there could be someone with such unique taste in the world.

If Su Jiameng knew what he was thinking, she would probably be frustrated. She merely chose the simplest and most efficient designs, and accidentally overlooked popular aesthetics. That doesn’t mean she’s some weirdo with a bizarre sense of style.

Time marched on, and Su Jiameng’s bumpy yet vibrant life continued, with training and the two eggs making up almost her entire world.

Going to the Mecha Fighting Arena became part of her daily routine, raking in cash, and she accumulated quite an audience on her video site, earning a handsome income daily. Without even realizing it, she amassed a considerable fortune.

But life doesn’t always favor one person. A month after settling on Qiming Star, Su Jiameng encountered a troubling issue. She weighed and measured the two eggs’ diameter daily, finding they had exceeded the online standards for hatching. Other people’s kids were already crawling, yet her two showed no signs of hatching...

The energy needed for hatching was sufficient, and their spiritual power exceeded the standard; theoretically, everything was ready, just waiting to hatch!

But, why, why were these two little guys still motionless, no movement at all! Su Jiameng felt like she was going to worry herself into gray hair. If they were like normal Beibi, this situation would be equivalent to surpassing the time of a ten-month pregnancy and something was bound to go wrong!

Ask the internet? Both eggs were natural-born Mind Power Users, inherently different from regular Beibi, so asking them was utterly pointless. And it was Su Jiameng’s first time being a mom in three lifetimes; she had no experience at all! This is killing her with worry!

”What on earth is the problem? Can anyone tell me ahhhhh——”

Su Jiameng almost wanted to bang her head against the tofu wall, but in the end, Su Mo rescued the distressed expectant mother.

It turns out, the birth of natural born Mind Power Users is different from ordinary egg-born babies; they can only hatch when fully matured, and premature emergence would harm their bodies. As for the timing of complete maturity... it naturally comes when the blue markings cover the entire eggshell.

Then, Su Jiameng’s daily task was to hold the eggs and measure their shell pattern’s area, to see when they’d cover the whole shell. Gu Ningxuan would see Su Jiameng cornering the two eggs with a tiny tape measure every day on his way to work, shaking his head helplessly. To him, no one living in this house seemed normal except himself.

Occasionally causing trouble the wayward troublemaker girl—Su Jiameng; the two supposedly laid by a sixteen-year-old girl, always mischievous eggs—the family’s two little Beibi; the quirky nurse maid robot with a lolita complex—Su Mo; the seemingly normal but inwardly repressed butler robot occasionally going bonkers like a lunatic—Changxi... He feels like he’s stepped into a madhouse.

The aloof male god of Xilena, Gu Ningxuan, went to work low-key, while Su Jiameng glanced at the calendar and realized that in three days, it would be K3 Team’s leader Qin Mo’s birthday. It was time to fetch the birthday present she had prepared earlier to give him a surprise on his birthday.
