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

However, in Gu Ningzhi’s eyes, he noticed many different things, as well as some that confused him.

The ”Su Jiameng” in the novel was very different from the Su Jiameng he knew, so initially, Gu Ningzhi didn’t think much of it, only imagining the scenes from the book in his mind... Of course, the protagonist ”Su Jiameng” had the face he was familiar with.

To be honest, the female protagonist’s character at the beginning was not very likable, initially very naive, confused and resistant to the outside world, but she gradually accepted reality, began to grow, slowly breaking out of her cocoon into a butterfly, only then revealing the shining points on her body.

This is a very long, very long story, as the plot progresses, the entire background slowly unfolds, making Gu Ningzhi’s spine tingle. Insect Race war... just these few words are enough to keep him on his toes!

He practically didn’t sleep for two or three days in a row, only then did he finish reading the entire serialized novel. The more he read, the more his emotions fluctuated.

The plot had progressed to the story of Lieutenant General Su Jiameng and the Ancient Martial Inheritor, from initial rejection to later mutual admiration, even forming a friendship, imagining and making promises for after the war, many readers wanted to joke about whether these two were heading towards a forbidden romance, but unexpectedly, this rather popular, somewhat taciturn Ancient Martial Inheritor also died...

Well crap, this is practically becoming a tradition in this novel, right?! Whenever a popular character appears, they always go through such a process! From a simple ”character image” at the beginning becoming gradually richer, then being liked by readers, with all sorts of speculation and comments in the reviews!

Then! As is customary, this character is doomed to die! Just what is the author up to, tormenting the protagonist or the readers, damn it!

Of course, because of the story about ”Ancient Martial Arts,” many people also noticed this unassuming ability.

According to the book, Ancient Martial Arts is the art of killing. True high-level Ancient Martial Arts does not rely on sight, skin perception, scent, or hearing, as long as the body is still alive, the most powerful counterattack can be made...

And Lieutenant General Su Jiameng’s taciturn partner was such, from his striking debut to his life’s last battle, so powerful one couldn’t help but feel respect. It seems that in this book, many characters share similar traits, sacrificing all they can for their beliefs, protecting with their lives, dying on that field filled with insect and human corpses...

Gu Ningzhi finished reading all the currently serialized Chapters, aside from critiquing the author’s ”fine tradition” of one character dying after another, he was more shocked than ever! This novel contained ”Su Jiameng,” ”Insect Race,” ”Telekinesis,” ”Adhesive Devouring Worm,” and even ”Cross Saber Eternal Peace”! The various war plot descriptions and many high-tech portrayals beyond this era... terrifyingly real!

To others, it might seem like the author has exceptional writing skills and rich imagination, but Gu Ningzhi didn’t think so. He felt like he was browsing through someone’s life story, the ”Su Jiameng” in the novel was slowly aligning with the person he knew!

Not in appearance, but in temperament and style! The further he read, the more their personalities resembled each other, and the overlapping points increased!

Gu Ningzhi didn’t tell anyone about this but spent some time looking through the book review section, reading analyses of various plot points and characters. Then he discovered a detail he had previously overlooked.

The book’s ”Su Jiameng” once had a close childhood friend, and most readers believed this close friend would be the emotional focus of Major General Su, but in the end, he dumped ”Su Jiameng,” who had returned from the brink of death after completing a mission!

[I don’t want to worry about whether I’ll survive to the next day while executing a mission, and also worry about my wife in another place. I want a stable family, even if I die, my wife can live well with the child, you, Meng Meng, can’t achieve this... You’re a very good woman, you should find a better man to match with... so... sorry.]

To be honest, Gu Ningzhi thought if he had such a close childhood friend, he’d laugh in his sleep. Life is full of uncertainties, to use such a ridiculous reason to reject someone, was it because the man was too cowardly, or was it that their feelings for each other were too fragile, lacking trust?

Although this man raised readers’ favorability at the novel’s beginning, after the betrayal was revealed, his popularity plummeted. But some steadfast readers predicted that this man would hold a crucial place in the female protagonist’s heart!

And indeed, it was so. The first love was also the only relationship in which the book’s female protagonist completely opened her heart, holding an extraordinary place and color. Afterward, those who had feelings for the female protagonist, silently liking her, all became tragic figures.

Of course, what brought this detail to Gu Ningzhi’s attention was the name of that childhood friend—Han Yeming!

He had a good memory and clearly remembered that Gong Yulu had once mentioned this name in front of Su Jiameng, and the response was very intriguing! She obviously knew the man named Han Yeming, yet stubbornly claimed she hadn’t heard of him!

Are there really so many coincidences in this world? Or is this novel actually a reflection of someone’s past?

Gu Ningzhi frowned, internally puzzled enough to feel tangled. Thinking it over, he decided to test Gong Yulu a bit!

He carefully checked, and there was no character named ”Gong Yulu” in the book, yet Gong Yulu explicitly said she had a complicated past with Su Jiameng. If this novel were truly so ”prophetic,” Gong Yulu should make an appearance!

However, when Gu Ningzhi deliberately recommended this novel for Gong Yulu to read, she was initially puzzled and fell silent after reading it.

Gu Ningzhi asked her, ”When do you think the ’Gong Yulu’ character should appear?”

Gong Yulu lifted her eyelids, her mouth carrying disdain, ”She’s already appeared... you just didn’t notice.”

Gu Ningzhi was puzzled, convinced that this character hadn’t appeared! Before he could come to a conclusion, Gong Yulu smiled faintly and said, ”Do you want to know the next part of the story?” (To be continued.
