From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 65 - 39: Simoles Deficiency Syndrome (Part 2)

When Zhu Mengtong was infected by that kind of cosmic radiation, she had already graduated from Xilena School, exceeding the adult age standard! She is currently the oldest known patient to develop symptoms, and her condition is relatively good.

Hua Yanluo’s face tensed, appearing somewhat heavy, "Is it really Simoles Deficiency Syndrome? But didn’t those old guys in scientific research all say it’s a congenital disease... and Meng Meng was infected and mutated... could it be a diagnostic error?"

For any Mecha Master, Simoles Deficiency Syndrome is simply the greatest nightmare in life! It’s like the terminal cancer of the Earth Era, accompanied by the shadow of death and immense psychological torment.

"The diagnosis won’t be wrong..." Liu Shiyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Although it’s Simoles Deficiency Syndrome, the research maniac at the institute said she would find three people with spiritual power higher than Meng Meng’s to seal the lesion together."

"Seal the lesion?" Hua Yanluo was momentarily stunned, then asked, "And then, will there be any side effects?"

Liu Shiyi thought carefully, although that research maniac’s character was a bit eccentric, she was quite capable, "That’s unclear, but according to Meng Meng, if the seal is successful, besides not being able to pilot a mecha in the future, life will be the same as an ordinary person’s. Regular intake of some resistant medicine should allow for a normal lifespan."

This was what he said, but Liu Shiyi still smiled somewhat reluctantly. A normal person’s lifespan is only about two hundred years, and for Zhu Mengtong, who is an S-Class Mecha Master both spiritually and physically, living to four or five hundred years would be easy if not for the radiation infection...

Hua Yanluo pretended to say lightly, "A temporary solution is good, at least there’s some buffer time. With technology and medicine advancing rapidly, who knows, maybe in ten or twenty years, Simoles Deficiency Syndrome can be conquered."

Liu Shiyi merely pulled a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, Simoles Deficiency Syndrome has existed for how many years, no one can say for sure. Overcoming this challenge in the next two hundred years, the chances are too slim. But for Liu Shiyi, it’s good enough that the other party is still alive. And lifespan, for someone in his high-risk profession, is basically something he can ignore.

Perhaps he, someone who theoretically could live to five hundred years, will end up passing away before his own wife. After all, he joined the most dangerous Expedition Army, constantly roaming in unexplored Alliance regions.

After Hua Yanluo finished speaking, the two fell into a long silence. She seemed to find the atmosphere too heavy, took out a small box from a drawer in the lounge and handed it to him. Liu Shiyi couldn’t help but tighten his lips, "It’s still mission time now!"

Moreover, who could tell him why something that should be forbidden is here! Hua Yanluo wasn’t surprised he would say this, lit up a cigarette as if to light it up, and Liu Shiyi, seeing her like this, immediately stood up. As a superior, he should point out any subordinate’s misconduct. But given Hua Yanluo’s elusive nature, he decided to not bother.

At the door, he turned to her and said, "When you previously inquired from her, did you find out who did it?"

Hua Yanluo seemed to not adapt to the smell of the smoke, flicked away the unburnt cigarette into the ashtray. Upon hearing his inquiry, she replied without lifting her head, "Who knows... that woman said she already knows who did it and plans to handle it herself. What’s wrong, worried? What’s her background anyway, she seems quite arrogant..."

If she has some skills, being arrogant is okay, but on this Cosmic Spaceship, which person isn’t proud to the bone? She’s just a woman from a poor planet posing in such a way, it’s not likable.

"The specific situation isn’t clear, but she has some connections with the Qin Family, Xu Family, and the Yives family. The reason for the detour to pick her up this time is also at the request of the young master of the Qin Family." Liu Shiyi adjusted his slightly tilted hat and said, "Less trouble is better, you’d better not provoke her... her spiritual power... gives me a very discordant feeling."

Liu Shiyi admired Su Jiameng’s desperate efforts in training, although there hadn’t been any specific tests, he could feel that her spiritual level was probably not low. Roughly estimated, it should be between S-Class and A-level.

Normally, such spiritual power wouldn’t even catch his eye. But for some reason... whenever Su Jiameng exhausted herself into a lump of mush on the ground, her spiritual fluctuations became particularly active, giving a very repressive feeling.
