From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 85 - 44: A Genius’s Battle
Xu Lei fell silent for a moment, then answered, "Isn’t five hundred a bit much?" If sales are good, you sell more; if not, it’s not a big loss. Anyway, Xu Lei knew that there were many girls in his class who were crazy about Zhang Yiqi. Five hundred photos would barely be enough, and poor male god would probably sign until his hands cramped. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
For the money he had bet on the odds and for the idol’s signed photos, Xu Lei silently placed his hopes of victory on Su Jiameng. Although he really liked the male god, he still supported his buddy over anyone else.
K3 was stunned for a moment and said, "I suppose that’s true, a hundred is too few, five hundred isn’t too many, maybe a thousand is just right."
Xu Lei: "..." Boss Qin, a thousand... wouldn’t Zhang Yiqi’s hands fall off after signing that many?
As soon as Zhang Yiqi heard her words, he almost slipped off the mechanical arm. But with great self-control, he showed no signs of weakness. He cast a calm glance at Su Jiameng and said, "That depends on how capable you are..."
The audience instantly erupted! The genius from Xilena actually accepted the challenge, and didn’t lose face with his retort! No wonder he’s hailed as the genius from Xilena First Affiliated School, looking incredibly cool and charismatic!
Su Jiameng watched as he entered the cockpit, stealing a glance at the odds on the betting board, feeling a rush of emotion. When she shifted her gaze back to Zhang Yiqi, her eyes were blazing, as if looking at a mountain of moving gold and silver!
Zhang Yiqi felt a chill down his spine at the perfect moment, but he didn’t have time for these thoughts right now.
Once inside the cockpit, touching the complex controls, his entire aura transformed. His eyes turned black and focused, like a predator poised to strike. His very presence seemed to dim, making one believe there was no living being inside the cockpit.
Su Jiameng’s spiritual power sensed this change and she quickly put aside her underestimation. This Zhang Yiqi... doesn’t seem weak at all.
Indeed, that was the case. Zhang Yiqi being labeled a genius of Xilena was not without reason. He had dual S-level talent in both spiritual and physical ability. A year ago, he used the Potential Activation Potion and saw significant advancement in both areas, now approaching S and 2S levels, and he’s still a student! Given more time to train and with subsequent uses of the Potential Activation Potion, he might just break into 3S levels either spiritually or physically!
Members of the Human Alliance can use the Potential Activation Potion three times in their lifetime. The higher the natural talent at birth, the greater the achievements later on. Zhang Yiqi started high and timed the first use of the potion perfectly, not a bit of the potential wasted. If his growth journey remains smooth, he could possibly reach an extraordinary position in the Alliance Military.
With such a genius, who wouldn’t support him? But Su Jiameng didn’t care much for all that. What of geniuses? She’s seen plenty, but few ended well. Too many of her exceptionally talented peers ended up buried on the battlefields against the Insect Race, with most never having their bodies returned...
Zhang Yiqi is lucky, at least he’s a peacetime genius, basking in admiration and envy, without having to sacrifice his young and vibrant life into that seemingly bottomless pit of a battlefield.
Su Jiameng gripped the joystick tighter, watching the various data inside the mecha, her face solemn and serious. Gone was her frivolous attitude as she faced her opponent earnestly.
The audience below held their breath, watching as the numbers on the countdown floating ball flickered one by one, clutching their hearts with tension. Three... two... one, they counted down in their minds. At the end of the count, both mechas launched simultaneously, leaving only a black and a brown streak in the air, the short combat had commenced!
"Boss Qin, who do you think will win?" Xu Na’s eyes were glued to the ever-changing situation below, feeling as if her breath was being taken away. "Xiao Meng... I feel like she’s getting serious."
"Trust in our partner." K3 said calmly, yet the words carried a soothing charm, bringing peace to those who heard them.
