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

”Jiameng?” On night watch, Cui Hu smelled the scent of blood in the air and followed it to find the source was Su Jiameng. She looked pale, with fresh blood at the corner of her mouth, and there was a puddle of blood before her.

What surprised Cui Hu was that Su Jiameng didn’t appear forlorn at all; instead, she was visibly euphoric! Her pale face, blood at the mouth, the joy on her face... the night wind blew, stirring an odd sensation in Cui Hu’s heart.

”I’m fine...” Raising her arm, she wiped the blood at her mouth heavily, and she smiled broadly, showing blood-stained white teeth, ”No need for night watch tonight. You and Theo should go get some sleep. It’s not been easy for you these days.”

Cui Hu felt a flash of surprise because Su Jiameng had completely shed her previous gloom and irritation, appearing extremely relaxed, reminiscent of how she was when they first met. Could it be... she suddenly became enlightened after spitting out some blood?

”But without night watch, there’s no guarantee some reckless guys won’t come for a night raid. Theo and I can manage. You’ve been tense lately, and it’s worrisome. Get a good night’s rest, and we’ll talk tomorrow.” Cui Hu raised his mechanical arm and pressed down the brim of the hat on his head, ”How did you suddenly get hurt?”

Su Jiameng shook her head, her expression returning to normal, ”It’s not injury. I merely expelled the stuff accumulated in my chest recently.”

She clearly didn’t want to discuss this matter further, so Cui Hu just noted the detail mentally and then jumped down from the military fortress. He exchanged a few words with Theo, and after some pondering, they decided to abandon the night watch and slept soundly until dawn.

”Wow—what smells so good?” Liang Xiaonuo, one of the two women in the team, slept in a separate tent and only had to keep watch for the first half of the night. She was the first to wake up and smelled a rich aroma of meat soup as soon as she stepped out of her tent.

”Today’s breakfast, which I bought specially, everyone should eat more.” With a Plane Store at hand, what can’t you buy if you want it? Plus, everyone has been causing trouble for the Insect Race over the years, selling collected Clay Ore to the Plane Store.

Aside from daily expenses, elixirs, and weapon upgrades, all remaining Plane Points were saved up.

As for the natural Clay Ore found in a valley and the mysterious soil they dug deep for, those precious items have never been touched and are kept in Su Jiameng’s Qiankun Bag, waiting for the day their secrets are unveiled.

Strangely enough, the soil is quite mysterious, and after asking several traders from different planes, no one has been able to identify it.

However, one merchant from the planes mentioned he might have seen it in some ancient Cultivation Scripture, though he had forgotten due to the passage of time. Su Jiameng can only list the soil sample on the Plane Trading Platform, waiting for someone who knows to reveal its origin and secrets.

Of course, Su Jiameng has tried asking the Plane Store, searching for similar products, but there’s been no progress and not even a Ghost Shadow of the same items. With the growing pressure from the Insect Race, there’s been no choice but to temporarily set this matter aside. When there’s more time, it will be considered thoroughly.

”Hmm—really smells good, but having such rich meat soup so early in the morning might cause indigestion.” Liang Xiaonuo said while already reaching for her portion, ”Eh, there’s so much meat in the soup... By the way, Jiameng, which plane did you get these from this time? The taste is incredible, hopefully not from a ’foodie plane’...”

Saying this while stuffing food into her mouth. They are all big eaters, where one meal’s food for one person equals a regular adult man’s weekly portion, and that’s just until they’re eighty percent full. Even for breakfast, the food is cooked by the pot.

”No, it’s from a plane similar to Ancient Earth. If their technology keeps developing, maybe thousands of years later, they’ll also enter the interstellar era.” During her trade with the merchant, Su Jiameng found that place resembled ancient Huaxia, with the culinary arts at their peak, so she set up a sizable and long-term trade contract.

”Eh? Did Ancient Earth have food this good?” Liang Xiaonuo asked while holding a flavorful leg of lamb, taking a big bite, deepening the taste in her mouth, ”Impossible, right? I remember Earth was just a planet similar in size to a Level Nine celestial planet, with limited species, probably not capable of producing such delicious food...”
