A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 318: Recruiting Soothing Masters
Once they were out of Miss Zhang’s private tent, Si Xu resumed his indignant rant:
"How can a female like that even exist? This is blatant extortion!
Mo Chen, don’t fall for it. Even if it delays treatment for the others, it’s not your responsibility alone."
If she hadn’t been a female, Si Xu would have given her a reality check.
’She’s just a female with A-level Spiritual Power. I don’t even have to look far; there are plenty of them right here in our camp.’
’Where did she get the nerve to threaten Mo Chen into marrying her?’
If she were an S-level female, he might not have interfered, even if she had a nasty personality.
After all, Mo Chen’s Riot Value was already dangerously high. He was just toughing it out for now.
He really did hope his friend could find a partner for soothing.
"Mo Chen, when the next batch of wounded soldiers heads home, you should go with them and recuperate for a while.
You won’t last three months at this rate."
As a specially invited Medical Master, no one knew Mo Chen’s physical condition better than he did.
However, Mo Chen refused. "The front line needs my command."
"Hah, I refuse to believe the Federation will collapse just because it’s short one person.
Stop shouldering these baseless responsibilities."
"Of course, I know I’m not that indispensable, but I can’t retreat a single step from this front line."
If he retreated and the front line was breached, allowing hordes of Alien Beasts to invade the residential stars, he would feel like a sinner.
No matter what, as long as he was here, the sector he was responsible for could not be breached.
This was his duty and his mission!
Si Xu tried to persuade him, exasperated. "I’m not telling you to be a coward, but your Riot Value is getting really high. You need to return to the Federation and get some soothing from an S-level female.
It’s better to come back after you’ve recovered than to stubbornly hold on here until you drop dead, right?"
"There’s no time to wait in line, and no time to leave."
With the round trip, plus the time spent waiting in line and recuperating, it would probably take ten years for his Riot Value to drop below 80%.
’What battlefield would I even return to? I might as well just retire.’
Si Xu reminded him, "You really need to think this through. You’re already at 88%, just a step away from 90%.
Think about the conditions for soothing once you hit a 90% Riot Value. If you think you can handle it, then by all means, keep tempting fate."
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen froze for a couple of seconds before pushing the thought aside.
"Get some rest. I have to go relieve the next shift of warriors soon."
It was always like this.
Si Xu gave up.
He was about to leave, not wanting to disturb Mo Chen’s precious few moments of rest, but he suddenly remembered a piece of news he had heard that day.
"Do you remember that soothing master from the bar you were keeping an eye on, Miss Jiang Qing?"
At the question, the image of a beautiful figure surfaced in Mo Chen’s mind.
His heart began to pound uncontrollably.
’I must really be sleep-deprived lately,’ he thought. ’I’m even starting to have heart problems.’
Still, he couldn’t help but ask, "What about her?"
’Did the bar get shut down? So they really were using prohibited substances?’
He hadn’t had time to follow any news about her for a long time, so he was a bit lost.
"She was tricked and abducted by a Star Thief Gang."
"What?"
Before Mo Chen could worry, Si Xu continued, "But she’s already been rescued.
However, a hot topic suddenly started trending today. I heard the international criminal, Dr. A, has developed a Superpower Awakening Potion and is using it as a bounty for her."
"Actually, it’s not just a bounty on her. I guess the old man is getting desperate and is willing to settle for the next best thing—an SS-level female."
No one knew exactly what was wrong with Dr. A’s son, only that it had something to do with spiritual power.
Rumor has it that someone once suggested Dr. A try having an SS-level female perform deep soothing on his son.
But his son is comatose. To perform deep soothing, he’d have to drug his son to stimulate him, and then force the SS-level female to rape him...
Honestly, no normal father could probably bring himself to do such a thing.
That’s why Dr. A never tried deep soothing with an SS-level female.
He has, however, captured SS-level females to experiment on.
All that’s known is that his son shows absolutely no reaction to ordinary soothing.
But Jiang Qin’s singing could make his son’s Spirit Sea inexplicably active.
If Jiang Qin’s Level weren’t so low, he probably wouldn’t be thinking of using her for research, but would instead try to have her perform deep soothing on his son.
But as it stands, her Spiritual Power Level is too low to have any effect on his son.
That’s why he wants to capture her, figure out what makes her so different, and then find a way to transfer her ability to an SS-level female.
That way, he could see if it’s possible to awaken his son.
Of course, these were all Dr. A’s ideas; outsiders were not aware of them.
...
After listening to Si Xu, Mo Chen’s first thought was disbelief.
He didn’t believe Dr. A had successfully developed the Awakening Potion.
Even if he had, it would certainly have massive side effects.
Si Xu said, "You don’t believe it either, right? To be honest, neither do I, but... what if it’s true?"
If it were true, at this critical juncture, they would face not only the threat of Alien Beasts but also internal conflict and rebellion from the Beastmen. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Why would the higher-ups allow such a ridiculous rumor to circulate?"
’Don’t they understand the principle of concealing things from the public to maintain social stability?’
Si Xu scoffed. "What else could it be? It must be the consequence of factional squabbling again."
’A bunch of idiots who returned all their knowledge to their teachers the day they graduated.’
Mo Chen’s brow furrowed so deeply you could have caught a fly in it.
But he said nothing, just silently returned to his tent and began sending a flurry of messages to handle official business.
He also contacted his elders, asking them to handle the rumors on the Star Network.
’Rumors with such malicious intent should not be allowed to circulate!’

Meanwhile, the Federation Military also posted a new announcement on the Star Network:
[Recruiting soothing masters to support our warriors on the front lines. Interested soothing masters are welcome to apply.]
Netizens instantly flew into an uproar.
[It’s over, it’s all over. They’re starting to send females to the battlefield. The front line must be in a critical state.]
[God, that’s terrifying! There’s no way I’m letting my female master go.]
[The Calming Power of females is limited enough as it is. If they go support the warriors, what are their partners supposed to do? Just wait to die?
Why would they have bothered finding a female master to serve them in the first place?]
[To the person above, are you clueless? Is now really the time to be so selfish?
Once the front line is overrun by Alien Beasts, it’s game over for all of us.]
[I support females going to the battlefield to help the male Beastmen, but if my sister has to go, then forget I said anything.]
...
Most people were against their own females going; their sense of belonging to the Federation was very low.
However, a small number of more passionate females had already started ordering supplies in preparation.
