From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 154 - 76: Follow-Up Issues of the Dream
Su Jiameng was troubled by this issue for quite some time until she found another way by starting with other vocabularies. Perhaps people in this world have another name for mind power? With this idea in mind, she conducted another investigation.
In the end, she found with a wry smile that this world does not lack telekinesis, but rather no one has discovered its true nature, thinking it to be a mental illness, the term widely accepted by future interstellar people—Simoles Deficiency Syndrome!
According to the historical records of Su Jiameng’s second life, mind power was originally a unique ability of a powerful cosmic species, who used the presence of mind power to rise above other species. They had a complete system for using and awakening mind power.
However, as the tides of time progressed, this species slowly vanished from the cosmic stage due to their extremely low fertility. Even gathering all their members onto one planet would feel sparse. Plus, their numbers kept decreasing.
By the time humans transitioned from the Earth era to the interstellar era, that species had dwindled to a terrifyingly low number. Other species gradually found that mind power users could appear among them too, and they quickly grew by borrowing that species’ mind power system.
But in this interstellar future... she searched and found no records of that powerful species.
This means that the beings in Su Jiameng’s second life could inherit telekinesis smoothly because they had mastered a complete system and data, essentially standing on the shoulders of giants to view the world.
This world, however, was not so fortunate. All the fundamentals about mind power were at zero, making it extremely difficult to develop and derive the millennia-old perfected mind power theory system of that powerful species from scratch.
After understanding these things, Su Jiameng didn’t know what kind of mood to use to face this reality.
If one day in the future, the Insect Race really makes a comeback, how would the people of this interstellar world fight against them? Rely on those weapons? I’m afraid when these weapons encounter high-level Insects, they will know what it means to hoist with their own petard!
A top-level tenth-grade Mind Power User can seize absolute control of a large cosmic battleship in an instant, and some high-level Insects are naturally capable of using telekinesis, and their levels are not low. Using the control of those weapons to destroy humanity itself is completely costless and risk-free! Knowing this possibility made Su Jiameng a bit anxious.
However, worrying about these things is a bit early, for one, Su Jiameng doesn’t know if this world has the Insect Race at all, and even if they do, are they the same Insect Race as from her previous world, and third... she is just an ordinary citizen with an unknown background, even if she knows about the Insect Race’s terror, no one would believe her if she spreads it, instead many would say she is crazy!
The K3 team’s mates were kindhearted; they didn’t bother her further when they saw Su Jiameng really tired, they just took great care of her, accommodating her in every little aspect, which Su Jiameng saw and it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved.
After the group battle, they won another game grandly, maintaining their strong winning streak that left other teams far behind. They were particularly striking on the leaderboard in this region.
The K3 members are still students, so they don’t have much time to participate in the Mecha Fighting Arena competitions. So after the match, they gathered in the lounge to rest, with no intention of continuing to compete. Su Jiameng hesitated for a moment and then voluntarily asked them, "Well... I want to ask you about something... do you know a disease, Simoles Deficiency Syndrome?"
K3 asked her suspiciously, "Of course, we’ve heard about it, but why is Xiao Meng suddenly asking about this question?"
Even though cases of Simoles Deficiency Syndrome are extremely rare, the final outcome of those afflicted terrifies everyone. In the future interstellar world, Earth’s age cancer is like the common cold, curable with a trip to the hospital.
For the biological entities of this era, the most terrifying ailments aren’t physical disabilities, nor any sort of cancer, not even many so-called untreatable genetic hereditary diseases, which have been conquered one by one in recent years. It’s only in the spiritual realm that gives everyone’s brain a headache.
Once afflicted by a spiritual power related illness, it’s manageable if mild, but if severe... with current technological levels, most medical personnel can only stand by anxiously.
Simoles Deficiency Syndrome is just at the top of the pyramid in this field, with a certain flavor of "will expect supreme heights". The mere seven words of Simoles Deficiency Syndrome weigh down like Mount Tai.
Though this disease is terrifying, its incidence rate is very low, those who contract it are terribly unlucky. Besides, it’s an inherited disease brought from the mother’s womb, diagnosable before school age. What is Xiao Meng worried about?
K3 expanded his thinking, suddenly thought of the two kids at Xiao Meng’s home, and comforted her with a smile, "Xiao Meng, don’t think too much about it, theoretically, anyone could get Simoles Deficiency Syndrome, but the chances are extremely low, you don’t need to worry about the two kids contracting this disease. I think... did you have a nightmare, dreaming that your children got this disease?"
If that’s the case, it could explain it, Xiao Meng is worried her kids will be unlucky and is repeatedly having nightmares.
K3 thought he found a reasonable explanation, yet he actually guessed a small part of the dreams’ content correctly. (To be continued.
