From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 168 - 83: Clay Ore (Part 2)

Du Chenshuang lingered for a while where the baby carriage had stopped, and finally left the place unwillingly.

At this moment, he never imagined that he failed to find any "criminal evidence" against Gu Ningxuan, but instead uncovered another seriously vile matter, which in a way alleviated Gu Ningxuan’s potential troubles. When he got to know the grievances involved, he was extremely depressed.

Su Jiameng, dressed in a goose-yellow bathrobe, was pushing a baby carriage. Guan Changxi wore pink pajamas and a cute little hat. The two looked like a very happy couple...

Unfortunately, if they were strolling in their own garden, they would probably incite envy among the passing pedestrians and neighbors. But if the strolling location were changed to the city center...

Under the nearly complete rate of turning heads and the gazes that seemed to ask, "Did those two just escape from a snake-spirit hospital?" Su Jiameng calmly ignored everything and lowered her head to discuss the previous matter with Guan Changxi, while also informing about the "Telekinesis Market" here.

Guan Changxi’s eyes flickered, "If that’s the case, then the origin of the Clay Ore hidden within that person’s flesh and blood demands careful consideration."

Clay Ore is a kind of ore containing very pure spiritual energy. Only Mind Power Users can use telekinesis to break through the spiritual barrier encasing the energy and absorb the spiritual energy inside. This is also an important auxiliary material for Mind Power Users to hone their strength.

In Su Jiameng’s purchase requests on the Plane Trading Platform, the amount of Clay Ore is the most. However, Clay Ore is difficult to form, and natural Clay Ore is even more valuable, like the previously mentioned thumbnail-sized ore, which is frighteningly expensive.

Where there is natural Clay Ore, there are naturally fast-produced Clay Ores, and the effect of the two is still the same.

Insect Race has another name among Mind Power Users, which is—Mother of Clay.

In the evolutionary growth process of lower-end Insect Race, the excess and unused spiritual power will deposit in the body, forming an energy cluster after a series of secretions. The duration of this energy cluster in the Insect Race’s body varies depending on the Insect Race’s strength.

The longer the time, the larger and denser the energy cluster becomes. Once the time is up, it will be expelled from the body. The mucus secreted by the Insect Race will encase the energy cluster, forming a hard shell similar to a rock, which is the "artificial" Clay Ore.

These Clay Ores condensed by the Insect Race cannot be used by the Insect Race but can be absorbed and utilized by Mind Power Users from other races to enhance their abilities.

This is why Su Jiameng previously stated that the existence of the Insect Race greatly reduced the cost of cultivating Mind Power Users. The Insect Race brought disaster, but in the eyes of many opportunists and those involved in dark transactions, opportunity outweighed crisis.

Many humans and other species covet the mass-produced Clay Ore by the Insect Race, while the Insect Race also covets the energy ore of the other side, which is the so-called Ximolai Ore. Ximolai Ore is more attractive to the Insect Race than anything else!

Just as the Clay Ore contains powerful spiritual energy, Ximolai Ore also contains terrifying power energy. A piece of Ximolai Ore sized like a pinky nail, after processing and extraction, can allow a Mecha of a Military God’s level to operate unrestricted for several days!

Su Jiameng knew all along that no matter what kind of creature, the struggle for profit has never diminished. Even if the Insect Race invades other races and eats them as food, the root cause is also for profit!

In their eyes, even their companions can be food and energy, let alone races other than the Insect Race.

"Changxi, go back and investigate the database of these few thugs, see if you can find any useful clues, and preferably, find out the person hiding the Clay Ore and understand why they are doing this." Su Jiameng instructed in a low voice.

Guan Changxi, despite being a bit playful in front of Su Mo, was still very reliable when handling official matters, and he responded in a low voice, "Yes."

Su Jiameng secretly checked the current situation of the two eggs, their spiritual power was full of vigor and vitality.

Indeed, the two who had not broken out of their shells absorbed a Clay Ore brimming with powerful spiritual energy, how could they not be full of vitality?

Since they came to the city center, they might as well stroll around, relax, buy themselves a couple of outfits, get some supplies for the baby, and incidentally see the Interstellar Future in peace time.

The two "playful" figures in the eyes of outsiders swaggered through the bustling downtown, with Su Jiameng walking aimlessly and Guan Changxi dutifully following behind, while the two eggs occasionally used spiritual power to attract attention.

However, Su Jiameng, who was accustomed to a simple lifestyle, could no longer keep up with the trends of the times. Her inherent female instinct for shopping seemed to have degenerated to prehistoric times, as she felt bored after not walking for long... Shopping, after all, isn’t as comfortable as directly shopping online.

Guan Changxi, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic about it. He dragged Su Jiameng to a place reputed to be very expensive, where most of the clothes were designed by famous designers, with some having three to five pieces, and some only having one, making the chance of running into someone wearing the same attire pitifully small.

Seeing the electronic virtual projection label displaying the price, Su Jiameng couldn’t help but lose heart; this stuff is ridiculously expensive!

Someone like her, who has the appearance of a tomboy but the heart of a roughneck, would do well not to spoil such nice things.

Of course, the most important thing is that she always has low demands for her own life. Spending so much money on clothes would cause her physical pain...

Just as she was thinking about putting down the clothes she selected and leaving, a burst of sweet laughter reached her ears.

The voice, despite being cute, with a playful baby tone, was quite jarring in this quiet atmosphere where everyone was quietly selecting their favorite clothes... what a buzzkill... Su Jiameng pouted. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
