From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 148 - 76: Follow-up Issues of the Dream

Su Jiameng was troubled by this issue for a while, and later she took a different approach, starting with other terms. Perhaps the people of this world have another name for telekinesis? With this in mind, she investigated further.

In the end, she discovered with a bitter smile that it wasn’t that this world lacked telekinesis, but rather that no one had discovered its true nature, believing it to be a mental illness—a term widely recognized by people in the Future Interstellar, known as Simoles Deficiency Syndrome!

According to historical records from Su Jiameng’s second life, telekinesis was originally a power unique to a powerful cosmic race. Using telekinesis, they stood above other races, and they had a complete system for its activation and awakening.

However, as time flowed on, this race gradually disappeared from the cosmic stage due to their extremely low fertility. Even if all the race members were gathered onto one planet, it would still feel empty. Moreover, their numbers continued to dwindle.

By the time humans stepped into the interstellar era from the Earth Era, that race had dwindled to a frighteningly small number. Other races gradually discovered that they, too, could have mind power users, growing rapidly by adopting the mental system of that race.

In this interstellar future... she searched but found no records of that powerful race.

This means that in Su Jiameng’s second life, humans were able to inherit telekinesis so smoothly because they had mastered a complete system and data, akin to standing on the shoulders of giants.

But this world was not so fortunate. The foundation for anything related to telekinesis was zero, and trying to develop and derive that powerful race’s millennia-perfected mental theory system from zero was too difficult.

Understanding these things, Su Jiameng didn’t know what feelings to face this reality with.

If one day in the future, the Insect Race was to indeed make a comeback, how would the people of this interstellar world confront them? By relying on those weapons? I’m afraid that when those weapons meet high-level Insect Races, they’ll know what it means to shoot oneself in the foot!

A top-level mind power user of Level 10 can instantly seize absolute control of a massive cosmic battleship, and some high-level Insect Races are inherently able to use telekinesis with high levels, relying on controlling those weapons to destroy humans at no cost or risk! Su Jiameng became a bit anxious knowing this possibility.

However, it was still somewhat early to worry about these things. First, Su Jiameng didn’t know if this world even had an Insect Race, and secondly, she wasn’t sure if this world’s Insect Race was the same as that in her previous world. Thirdly... she was just an ordinary citizen with an enigmatic identity. Even if she knew how terrifying the Insect Race was, no one would believe her if she spoke out. On the contrary, many would say she was neurotic!

The members of the K3 Team were kind-hearted. Seeing that Su Jiameng was truly exhausted, they didn’t bother her much, only subtly taking care of her and accommodating her. She noticed all these little gestures, and to say she wasn’t moved would be a lie.

After the group battle, they won another overwhelming victory, maintaining an impressive winning streak that left other teams far behind, making them stand out on the regional winning streak leaderboard.

The K3 members were still students and didn’t have much time to participate in the Mecha Fighting Arena competitions, so after one match, they gathered in the rest area to relax, without planning to compete further. Su Jiameng hesitated for a moment and then asked K3, "Well... there’s something I want to ask you guys... do you know about a disease called Simoles Deficiency Syndrome?"

K3 asked her suspiciously, "Of course I’ve heard of it, but why are you suddenly asking about this, Xiao Meng?"

Simoles Deficiency Syndrome, although cases of this disease are extremely rare, the final outcome for the patients makes everyone terrified. Cancer from the Earth Era is considered a mere cold in the Future Interstellar, something that can be cured with a visit to the hospital.

For the creatures of this era, the most terrifying diseases are not physical disabilities or any so-called cancer diseases. In recent years, even many so-called incurable genetic hereditary diseases have been overcome one by one. It is the mental domain alone that makes everyone’s head ache.

Once a patient suffers from a disease in the spiritual power domain, if the symptoms are light, it’s manageable; but if severe... according to current technological levels, most medical personnel can only stand by, helplessly watching.

Simoles Deficiency Syndrome stands right at the pinnacle of this domain, with a somewhat "will reach the top" feel. The mere seven-character name Simoles Deficiency Syndrome feels as heavy as a mountain.

Though terrifying, the disease has an extremely low incidence rate. Those unfortunate enough to suffer from this disease are beyond unlucky. Furthermore, it’s a congenital hereditary disease brought from the womb and can be diagnosed before schooling. What was Xiao Meng worried about?

K3, with an open mind, suddenly thought of Xiao Meng’s home having two little buns, and he comforted with a smile, "Xiao Meng, there’s no need to overthink it. Simoles Deficiency Syndrome, theoretically, anyone could contract it, but the odds are minuscule. You don’t need to worry about the kids getting this disease. I wonder... when you have nightmares at night, do you dream of your children having this disease?"

If so, that could explain it. Xiao Meng worries about the kids being unlucky and consequently has recurrent nightmares.

K3 thought he had found a reasonable explanation, not realizing he had actually guessed a small part of the dream’s content correctly. (To be continued.
