The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 866: Chapter 845: Interstellar Superstar 15

Imperial Star

In the midst of ancient-style buildings in Imperial Star A City, a futuristic and streamlined spacecraft is parked in the parking lot beside the lawn.

A girl in a red dress, about fifteen or sixteen years old, jumps out of the spacecraft.

As soon as she lands, she races towards the main house.

These buildings are all constructed in imitation of the quadrangle courtyards of Hua Country from thousands of years ago.

This area has been built for over a hundred years, and the esteemed military Xiao Family resides inside.

The Xiao Family has served in the military for generations. Since humanity arrived at the Hope Star System, members of the Xiao Family have been fighting on the front lines. More than a thousand years ago, during the war with the Insect Clan, the Xiao Family suffered numerous losses, and even direct members sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

It’s safe to say that the Xiao Family has never been absent from the history of war in the Hope Star System.

The current head of the Xiao Family is the only Grand Marshal in the interstellar alliance, but he retired from injury over a decade ago and is now recuperating at home.

The young girl quickly runs into the main house, bursting into the living room and calling out: ”Dad, Mom, Dad...”

A woman with a black dress, a delicate figure, and beautiful features walks over: ”Ah Mei, what’s wrong?”

This girl is named Xiao Mei, the beloved youngest daughter of Grand Marshal Xiao, greatly cherished at home.

Xiao Mei looks around: ”Where’s Dad?”

Grand Marshal Xiao emerges from the kitchen, holding a spatula.

There are white marks on his face from flour: ”Darling daughter, what’s up with Dad?”

Xiao Mei urgently grabs Grand Marshal Xiao: ”Dad, I’ve found a way to save eldest brother, I know how to save him.”

With a crisp sound, Grand Marshal Xiao’s spatula falls to the ground.

He doesn’t bother to pick it up.

He grabs Xiao Mei: ”What did you say, say it again.”

Mrs. Xiao also looks at Xiao Mei: ”Ah Mei, what did you just say?”

Both speak at once, visibly anxious.

Xiao Mei loudly declares: ”I know how to save eldest brother. I found someone with SSS-level spiritual power.”

Grand Marshal Xiao’s hands tremble: ”Really?”

Xiao Mei pulls Grand Marshal Xiao and his wife to sit on the sofa: ”Really.”

She talks as she activates the main brain, showing the couple a video she captured: ”This is a reality show program developed by S Company, it’s very popular right now, this reality show is somewhat different from the usual ones.”

Xiao Mei explains while displaying a video about Anning: ”Look, it’s this girl, I checked, she’s from a branch of the Cuis, she...”

Grand Marshal Xiao seriously watches the video on the main brain.

After a while, Mrs. Xiao’s tears start to fall.

”Husband, could Miss Cui save our A Yuan?”

Grand Marshal Xiao watches the video again, and after finishing, his eyes sparkle: ”This girl should join the military, she’s an exceptional talent.”

Mrs. Xiao is angry enough to hit Grand Marshal Xiao: ”You think too much, I just want to know if she can save our son.”

Grand Marshal Xiao is somewhat hesitant: ”That’s uncertain, I’ll have to see her in person to know, but her spiritual power is indeed high. If she’s willing, maybe she can help A Yuan sort out his spiritual power and potentially restore it to normal.”

Grand Marshal Xiao doesn’t dare promise.

But Mrs. Xiao is already delighted: ”That’s good, having hope is good, when will we seek out Miss Cui?”

Xiao Mei quickly says: ”Not now, she’s still recording the reality show, it can’t be interrupted, otherwise it would harm her spiritual power.”

Mrs. Xiao looks at Grand Marshal Xiao.

Grand Marshal Xiao stands up: ”I must report this to the leader, we must assign people to protect Miss Cui’s personal safety, not just for A Yuan but for the entire interstellar alliance.”

In Grand Marshal Xiao’s heart, a girl like Anning with such high-level spiritual power, wisdom, and strong action capability is a rare national talent. If such talent suffers any damage, it’s a significant loss for the entire alliance.

Whether for public or private reasons, he has to find a way to ensure Anning’s safety.

Grand Marshal Xiao goes to the study to talk to the leader, while Mrs. Xiao happily holds Xiao Mei: ”Ah Mei, I’m truly delighted, we’ve waited so long to finally find a way to save your brother, it’s great.”

”Yes.” Xiao Mei nods heavily: ”I’m also very happy.”

Her expression of joy is shown by immediately returning to her room to enter Anning’s broadcast room, she wants to always stay on guard in the broadcast room, she must get to know Anning well, so when the time comes to ask for help, she can present compelling arguments.

The hall for S Company’s reality show recording quickly becomes heavily guarded.

The company’s upper management also shows significant emphasis on this program.

Additionally, the upper management gives orders to the technical staff to ensure the safety of the stars in the program.

The technical staff are speechless upon hearing the orders.

They think, with Cui Anning’s capabilities, does she even need protection from others? She might as well ascend to the heavens.

Indeed, Anning is about to ascend to the heavens.

Originally, this program is an escape show, set up where eight superpower users are injected with suppressants and then sold to City C and enter the lab as test subjects.

The eight superpower users have to figure out a way to escape from the lab, then go to J Town to find the antidote to restore their superpowers.

When the superpowers are restored, the program is basically over.

However, Anning quickly led another five people to configure the antidote.

Please note, she configured it herself, not found.

The program set is real, being able to configure the antidote shows that Anning herself has a very rich knowledge of biological medicine, and she has also studied mechanics, possessing a strong hands-on ability to assemble robots herself.

She can connect satellites and set up security formations herself, this girl really is too powerful.

For such a formidable girl, wherever she’s placed, she’s a star, no need for others to worry about protection, okay.

But that’s just their thought, they didn’t dare say it openly, only agreed to ensure Anning’s safety.

Anning was unaware of the changes outside.

After a nap, she eats a bit.

At this time, City C nearest to J Town has sent personnel to exchange medicinal supplies.

City C has brought several vehicles this side, carrying rich supplies, including food, clothing, and some steel and medication, etc.

So many supplies, yet only exchanged for over twenty bottles of medicinal supplies.

Twenty-something bottles of medicine really mean little to Anning and her group, but those supplies can guarantee their basic living needs for a year.

Of course, the military sent from City C has considered robbing the medicine, but J Town is well arranged by Anning, not only guarded by large formations, but having all sorts of robots and weapons inside, they truly can’t do anything to Anning and her group, obediently trading supplies for medicine.

Anning had long considered the scenario of overly abundant supplies.

When setting up formations, she created a transport device outside, so when supplies are placed on it, they are swiftly transferred into the lab, very efficient.

The main reason is Anning’s lack of manpower; she has too many tasks at hand, unable to have the other five do laborious work, hence can only find a solution from other aspects.
