From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 68 - 40: The Informant (Part 2)

"Don’t listen to this beast talking nonsense; I do have something to attend to, but I’ve already gotten permission from the teacher." Zhang Yiqi looked at the other person’s confused expression and sighed inwardly. After all, he is her fiancé; paying a little attention to his personal life wouldn’t hurt, would it? Wanting to complete the strategy truly is a long and arduous journey...

"Oh." Liang Yan buried her head and continued studying, leaving Zhang Yiqi to the side.

Under Qin Chou’s amused gaze, Zhang Yiqi could only awkwardly touch his nose. He looked at the time displayed on his smart device, stood up, took his school uniform jacket, and quietly left through the back door. Seeing him walk away, Liang Yan elbowed the giggling Qin Chou, "Hey, beast, what’s up with Ah Qi? What could be more important than his class?"

Qin Chou smiled silently, resting his chin on his hand and said in a seemingly hazy manner, "Who knows what’s up with him. Maybe he’s gone off to a date with some pretty girl, enjoying her soft fragrance... Sigh, I say, junior Liang Yan, aren’t you supposed to be that kid’s fiancée? Isn’t it a bit too much to not care about your future husband at all?"

Liang Yan’s hand paused in the middle of turning a page, a strange color flashed across her face before quickly disappearing. She replied in a slightly sour tone, "There are plenty of people lining up to care about him; it doesn’t matter if I’m involved or not..."

Qin Chou had an enlightened expression; so this engaged couple is having a private spat...

Su Jiameng still followed her usual routine, doing what needed to be done. As usual, she got beaten down by the teaching system until she felt like a drowned rat, her mind in a chaotic mess as if it was about to explode. She drank the Nutrient Liquid Hua Yanluo gave her, and felt considerably better.

"I heard you’re going to face off against Xilena’s genius today?" Hua Yanluo sized her up, clearly implying her meaning, and then said, "I’ve seen that promising student; you won’t be a match for him."

In fact, Zhang Yiqi was someone she really admired as a junior, and since he’s from Xilena as well, he’s undoubtedly a schoolmate and junior. Although she admired Su Jiameng’s determination in training, her prowess wouldn’t allow her to overcome Zhang Yiqi.

"Oh, so you know him..." Su Jiameng lifted her hand and wiped her face with a sleeve, soaking the whole sleeve with sweat. She said lightly, "For the Lieutenant’s sake, I’ll go easy on him..."

Hua Yanluo: "..." Did this guy really understand what she’d said earlier?

"Don’t worry, I won’t cripple him." Su Jiameng thought for a moment and added, reassuring that she wouldn’t ruin that promising student, "I’m always very measured with my strikes... I guarantee your little junior will remain in one piece."

Hua Yanluo twitched her mouth. Over the past few days, she gathered information about her from Liu Shiyi. In summary: She’s as fierce as a wolf while training, and as arrogant as a peacock! She knew Su Jiameng was proud, but not to this extent. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Although Zhang Yiqi junior is still a student, he’s got a lot of combat experience! When in the Expedition Army, he wasn’t simply slacking off! Taking down an unremarkable woman really isn’t some suspenseful matter! The conclusion: the one to lose would be Su Jiameng, not her highly-esteemed junior Zhang Yiqi, "I’m not worried about him, just afraid you’ll be too heavily affected."

Considering Su Jiameng’s recent performance, her progress has been impressively quick, but thinking she’d defeat a top-tier student from one of the universe’s best schools is quite a strong demand. At least Hua Yanluo didn’t believe Su Jiameng could do it.

Su Jiameng didn’t take Hua Yanluo’s words to heart at all. If she were beaten by a student on the virtual network, she might as well just accept her fate and apologize for her incompetence. What you sow, you reap; Su Jiameng’s self-torture style of training was effective. Evidently, the simple basic grade Nutrient Liquid could no longer satisfy her body’s needs.

If she wanted her recovery to be optimal, she’d have to mix basic grade and intermediate Nutrient Liquid in a certain proportion. Su Jiameng had great insight in this area, always blending the best ratios without wasting a single drop.

After leaving the recovery pod, seeing that she had some time, she did a set of intermediate training exercises, thoroughly stretching her sore muscles before heading to the cafeteria. On the way, the guards still treated her like air, ignoring her presence.

Not bothered by it, she happily splurged on a lot of food. Observing those guards calmly eating with small, gentle bites around her, she felt puzzled. Given their slow pace, would they not starve themselves?

She remembered that at her best appetite, she could eat an amount equal to her body weight in food in a day!

With so much food, if they ate so delicately, when would they ever finish? Filled with doubts, she happily filled her hungry stomach o(*￣3￣)o, then contentedly belched, patting her full belly, and sauntered back to her room under disgusted gazes...

On her way, she encountered a bright-looking officer with a hint of harshness and arrogance in her eyes... an old enemy indeed. Su Jiameng’s eyes brightened, waving at her, "Private Wan, do you have time now? I have something to ask you..."

The Private Wan evidently still remembered Su Jiameng. Seeing her wave, her face clouded slightly, and she replied stiffly, "If you have questions, you can ask An Xiangjiao, why come to me? I’m quite busy!"
