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

To put her mind at ease, Su Jiameng indeed took Yu Feng’s advice. The two paupers scrapped together some Plane Points, barely enough to buy a fortune-telling.

_(:з)∠)_ That Plane Merchant specialized in divination, and a single fortune-telling cost a hundred Plane Points. With such a small amount of Plane Points, they couldn’t even buy the cheapest item in the Plane Store. But the guy was clever, his business thrived every day, and over time he earned more than risking his life on tasks. It was a relaxed and safe job, making these two paupers envious.

Though uncertain if that merchant was a charlatan, his words were credible enough; at least Su Jiameng chose to believe him.

He said that according to the divination, the two children on the board were destined to be extraordinary. Despite a childhood of adversity, they would often receive help from prestigious people, enjoying longevity and peace, and both had a fate centered on war complemented by literary brilliance, destined to be battle-hardened with high honors.

Alright, though her heart clenched seeing ”childhood adversity,” the rest resonated deeply with Su Jiameng. Being her sons, if the Insect Race invaded, they were destined to thrive on the battlefield in the future. Plus, they would be [long-lived and peaceful]!

If the divination wasn’t deceitful, it only meant her two sons would have long lives, growing into warriors to be proud of! Overall, this was a delightful outcome. Perhaps due to a subconscious hint, she finally calmed down after the fortune-telling. As for another person in her dreams, the Plane Merchant took the opportunity to read for him too...

”This guy has a peculiar fate, with many variables. Although his fate is also centered on war with an element of leadership, his future is fraught with challenges, surrounded by hidden and inexplicable obstacles, likely caused by someone’s meddling.” The Plane Merchant, seemingly worried that his explanation was complicated, reiterated, ”This is essentially an excellent fate... of course, in your war-plagued areas, it’s indeed as good as it gets...”

”... According to the original horoscope, although his life would be short, not reaching seventy, his martial fortune would flourish throughout life, and his leadership qualities would shine, likely bringing glory to his family. However, his horoscope is entwined with a corrupt purple aura, disrupting the original fate... yet it’s unclear if this change is for better or worse... at least from the current situation, it’s hard to judge...”

Su Jiameng had previously dealt with many merchants from Cultivation Planes, each with their own specialties, but several had subtly mentioned that everyone’s fate was inherently predetermined. Dao begets fifty, nature manifests forty-nine, leaving one for chance... Although there’s a slight chance for everything, seizing that slim chance could defy fate, it’s not so easy to fight against destiny!

Yet Gu Ningxuan’s horoscope experienced such a significant change. There had to be something causing it. Su Jiameng couldn’t help but wonder if that variable was her. But... corrupt purple aura... no matter how you hear it, it doesn’t sound like something good.

She shared her thoughts with that Plane Merchant, who gave a different response, ”I’ve also vaguely seen your horoscope... heh, it’s really a coincidence, your entire family’s fate centers on war, it’s quite unusual. Though not very clear, I’m certain that variable isn’t you, but someone else... a person filled with resentment, narrow-minded, ruthless, and malicious...”

Su Jiameng thought carefully, besides herself, who else could be regarded as a ”variable”?

Finally, after deliberation, she pulled out the Rebirth Sister and the Transmigration Sister from the corners of her memory. Filled with resentment, narrow-minded and ruthless... sounds more like the Rebirth Sister, since the Transmigration Sister, with her pure mind, didn’t have that level of malice.

Speaking of which, Gu Ningxuan’s life being a mess also couldn’t be separated from Su Qinwu... was that corrupt purple aura referring to her? Su Jiameng pondered, determined to keep a close watch on Su Qinwu when she returned! Just to see what tricks she might pull!

However... she was reluctant to admit it, but hearing Gu Ningxuan’s original fate was short-lived, it stirred a slight unease in her heart, as though pricked by a fine needle. She consoled herself that her reaction was entirely for the sake of the two little buns...

After leaving the Plane Trading Platform, Yu Feng kindly told Su Jiameng, ”Go to bed early, everyone has been evacuated, and all follow-up work has reached the end stage. The artificial wormhole is expected to open the day after or the day after that... you should rest up.”

”Thank you for your concern.” Su Jiameng thanked him, and Yu Feng didn’t respond, instead walking away directly.

In fact, his encounter with Su Jiameng today was not a mere coincidence, he had something to discuss with her. However, given her current mood, he thought it best to give her some personal space; pushing too much could be counterproductive.

The only gain today, probably, was discovering that her husband was still alive... Previously, seeing her struggling to afford baby Nutrient Liquid, he assumed that man had already died, otherwise, how could the widow and orphan live in such hardship and embarrassment?

”Why should I meddle in others’ affairs so much...” Yu Feng muttered softly, his footsteps steady with a hint of lightness. Just as he had told Su Jiameng earlier, they were about to leave the Forgotten Planet, to leave this hopeless land of despair!

Actually, Su Jiameng wasn’t aware that her dream wasn’t entirely fabricated, although the two buns turned white and plump under the feeding policies of two robots, the other protagonist in her dream was struck by unforeseen misfortune!

After leaving that planet, Gu Ningxuan managed to buy it and hired some miners skilled in excavating to handle the Clay Ore-rich veins. Since the planet became his private property, foreign warships weren’t allowed to linger, causing a delay in news. Although the planet’s purchase stirred quite a ripple, it didn’t cause much of a stir.

Gu Ningxuan wasn’t yet aware of how massive his fortune was. After handling these things, he bought a return ticket to Qiming Star and then encountered an interception by Star Thieves from the Jialanluo Clan, with the entire civilian warship detained.
