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

”Aren’t you going to disguise yourself?” Qian Chen, back when he used to pretend to be a homeless man, had a thick and bushy beard. But letting it grow again artificially so quickly just felt wrong, even obstructing his vision!

”I certainly don’t need to. Just look at my face; do I look like a notorious criminal wanted by the Alliance?” Su Jiameng raised a hand and pointed to her cheek, mocking someone’s current sensitive status, ”I naturally have a serious face...”

Qian Chen: ”...” Such narcissism, meaning to mock that he’s never been serious?

The birthday of Blue Spirit Star is the grandest and most lively celebration on the entire planet. Qian Chen, as a young master of a large family, used to have fun with the people under the pretext of ”celebrating with the public,” but more often he would be with his family, attending those grand and luxurious banquets.

Having left his homeland for many years, stepping onto this land once more, Qian Chen’s heart was naturally filled with complex emotions.

He gazed at the crowd around him with admiration. The people’s faces were filled with pure joy; parents walked with smiles as they held their children, young couples in innocent love gently hooked fingers, occasionally locking gazes full of affection... everlasting.

Suddenly, he remembered a celebration from many years ago when he was young and rebellious, unaware of the complexities of the adult world, believing he could carry the weight of the world on his own. He happily held his fiancée’s hand as they sneaked out of a banquet to blend into the crowd...

On this birthday, the security level of Blue Spirit Star also heightens, with patrolling robots flying overhead from time to time, randomly checking the information of individuals on the ground. Seeing those things, Qian Chen’s back stiffened instantly...

”Relax, they can’t find out about you.” Su Jiameng was quite confident in this point. Deceiving living beings might be difficult, but tricking robots was very simple. ”Come on, what good things do you have to recommend here, as a local? Fun things? Delicious things?”

Qian Chen took a deep breath, calming himself, then glanced sideways at Su Jiameng, ”You really do change... didn’t you say before that we should focus on getting the task done quickly? Now you’re playing around happily, throwing the task aside?”

”Since we’ve come to Blue Spirit Star, what difference does it make if we start a day early or late? Didn’t we agree earlier to properly experience the grandeur and excitement of the birthday? Since that’s the case, coming with a playful mindset, why think about those annoying things at this time? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?” She believed balancing work and relaxation was important; otherwise, if one died from overwork one day, wouldn’t it be a great loss?

Qian Chen was about to say something, but then heard Su Jiameng say with a cold smile, ”I’m quite compassionate, allowing that person to enjoy this last grand celebration in life, so they won’t have regrets after dying. Giving her more time is somewhat of a mercy...”

He shut his mouth immediately, forcibly swallowing back the words he was going to say, ensuring his own safety, feeling that the momentary killing intent was his illusion.

Qian Chen naturally understood that the killing intent was not directed at himself, but at the woman hiding in the Qian Family, stirring up trouble. He knew he should hate that woman, but... seeing Su Jiameng’s previous cold smile, he felt a pang of sympathy.

That woman was a monster, but this woman in front of him... was she not also a monster? Her inexplicable powerful strength, strange methods, mysterious origin, unknown abilities, suppressed spiritual power, and endless secrets... Working with her made Qian Chen feel like he was negotiating with a tiger, as if if he was not careful, he would be killed by her instantly.

This lifetime, Su Jiameng had never participated in the birthday celebration, but in her previous life she did, only back then she had gone through various hardships, accompanied by no one, like a lonely ghost. In this life, although she was accompanied by the not-so-familiar Qian Chen, with people she cared about light-years away, her heart was indescribably joyful.

”This mask is really unique... the design is quite strange...” Su Jiameng noticed a shop next to her crowded with children and couldn’t help but stretch her neck to take a look, discovering it was a shop selling various masks with unusual designs.

Qian Chen standing behind her thought for a moment and said, ”Those are masks made from a unique plant material found only on Blue Spirit Star. They are all-natural with strong plasticity. Customers can take a portion of the raw material and freestyle on the mask mold... Of course, shops have some rules, like this one requires customers to leave an image record of their work...”

In fact, this kind of business was quite popular on Blue Spirit Star, especially among children. Most of those whimsical mask designs were left by children. Unexpectedly, Su Jiameng also joined them!

Haven’t you ever played such simple little games before, as an adult mixing with a bunch of kids, don’t you feel out of place?

After swiping Credit Points, she bought a lump of soft, light green material. Once her face was scanned by the machine, the mask mold in front of her changed to her facial contours. Creating on such a mold would fit the face perfectly.

What surprised Qian Chen was, the other party stared at the mask for a long time, then blushed and asked a little girl with pigtails beside her, ”Little sister, can you tell big sister how to play with this? Big sister has never played before...”

After receiving a sympathetic glance from the little sister, Su Jiameng quickly learned how to handle the mask under her guidance...

While Su Jiameng was coloring her mask, light-years away, a certain guy still didn’t know that the woman he admired was experiencing a birthday celebration with another stranger... quite miserable...

After Gu Ningxuan left Qiming Star, he traveled for some time and arrived on a planet with a very rough atmosphere. (To be continued.
