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

Su Jiameng listened to Gu Ningzhi’s words and seemed to think of something. She suddenly smiled meaningfully and glanced upwards.

Even though this place was extremely dark, each of them possessed extraordinary abilities, and their night vision was naturally not weak, not affecting their ability to see things at all. Gong Yulu noticed Su Jiameng’s actions and instantly understood.

After thinking, Gong Yulu folded one arm and held Yongping with the other, smiling as he said, ”Your suggestion is quite appropriate. Fighting in this place, even if we win, we would end up buried here. Accompanying a monster to the grave is too much of a loss.”

Gu Ningzhi moved his suspicious gaze to Gong Yulu’s face, instinctively feeling that there was something in his words, yet he couldn’t pinpoint what was amiss.

In fact, Su Jiameng and Gong Yulu’s idea was quite simple—lure the Mother Tree out. Then the people on the expeditionary fleet constantly hovering in the high sky would witness the Mother Tree’s furious power, hopefully teaching them a lesson: don’t extend your claws into areas you shouldn’t!

However, speaking of which, if they wanted to lure the Mother Tree out, they could either force it to leave passively with absolute strength or entice it to leave actively with something irresistibly tempting. The former would inevitably lead to an intense battle, and the likelihood of this crisscrossed cavern collapsing was high. In the end, they might not even achieve their goal. As for the latter... what could be used to lure it out?

After pondering over it, only the Ximolai Ore came to mind. But the Ximolai Ore here had been tampered with, and to achieve the lure, these things had no attraction at all. Thinking from another angle, for the Mother Tree, rather than saying it is attracted to Ximolai Ore, it is better to say it is drawn to the massive energy contained within the ore! If she could produce something with more energy than Ximolai Ore...

A flash of insight struck her mind, and she vaguely grasped something, continuing to think along this line! Her thoughts suddenly became clear!

How could she forget? She was a Plane Merchant and could trade with merchants from countless planes! Her power was her biggest reliance, and the Plane Trading Platform was her ultimate trump card. There was nothing others couldn’t imagine; there was nothing she couldn’t buy!

Moreover, besides dealing with the Mother Tree, the Ximolai Ore that had been tampered with also urgently needed to be addressed. The energy contained in the Ximolai Ore had already reached an active state. If she were to engage in battle with the Mother Tree, she would inevitably use telekinesis. At that time, a careless mistake could lead to the premature detonation of the Ximolai Ore, and even if she were at Level Eight in telekinesis, she would be blown to pieces!

Therefore, being able to address both of these hidden dangers at once would be the perfect solution! Su Jiameng reinserted Xihe into the ground, and sat back down. Under Gu Ningzhi’s shocked gaze, she said, ”I need to think quietly...”

Gu Ningzhi: ”...” Miss, even if you want to slack off, don’t use such a serious and solemn reason, okay!

Gong Yulu suspiciously glanced at Su Jiameng, a trace of unfamiliarity flashing in his eyes. However, she did not doubt anything; instead, she leaned slightly against the cave wall, eyes half-closed, adopting an air of indifference. Gu Ningzhi was almost infuriated by these two guys! Why did seeing these two make him feel like, ”Oh, it turns out I’m the unnecessary one”?

Su Jiameng calmed her mind and secretly contacted the Plane Trading Platform, glancing at the plane merchants she had previously traded with. These guys were online every day. In comparison, she felt like an unqualified Plane Merchant. As she already had a rough idea in her mind, she directly contacted a merchant from the Cultivation Plane, ”Are you online? I want to ask you a question...”

”Go ahead...” Since she was online most of the time, the response was quite swift. Through their conversations, Su Jiameng always thought this Plane Merchant from the Cultivation Plane was a strong woman who did everything with great zeal.

”I want to ask, although there are many differences between the Cultivation Plane and the interstellar plane, some things are common because the essence of those things is the same, right?” Su Jiameng chose her words carefully and continued, ”For example, the essence of energy is a common point between the two planes...”

”Hmm, theoretically speaking, there’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying,” the merchant from the Cultivation Plane said. ”For example, the Spirit Stones in my plane contain Spiritual Energy, which greatly benefits cultivators when absorbed. In your plane, certain minerals can be used as Mecha propulsion energy. Spiritual Energy, in essence, is also a form of energy. This means that if a Spirit Stone were brought to your plane, it would still be usable, though not for cultivation as a cultivator might absorb a Spirit Stone...”
