Chapter 11: Direct Current

Yue slid down from the sofa, thinking of running over to open the door.

As a result she plopped onto the blanket and then could not get up.

Her legs… her legs had gone numb…

Because of the blanket underneath, the fall did not hurt much; she had only been startled.

Then the door of the private room was opened from the outside by someone…

That is right, “opened” in the physical sense of being smashed open.

One could even see a yellowish-orange thing fly out of the doorframe; it looked like the lock cylinder…

The commotion was so great that Yue was startled once more.

“Hey, hey, are you all right?!”

A white-furred fox girl appeared in front of Yue like a ghost, left hand holding a steaming bowl of noodles, right hand holding a steaming cup of milk, her large tail behind her still wrapped around a steaming red-furred little rabbit.

How did you keep the noodles and the milk from spilling while moving at high speed?!

Oh, it is Liuli… then it is fine…

So this guy’s soul sensed that I had a little problem and she just smashed the door open by force.

As for this food…

Yue looked up and met Liuli’s eyes.

“Hey, these are the tomato-and-egg noodles I made for you. Shiitake, radish, celery… light, but quite generous.”

Liuli set the bowl on the table; steam rose from the noodles.

“Hey, this is the fresh-milk drink I mixed for you. I added tasteless fish oil, very nutritious. Careful, it is hot.”

Liuli set the cup on the table; a rich fragrance drifted from the milk.

“Hey, this is one of my subordinates, Yuenas, fire-attribute ability user, one of the cooks in charge of logistics.”

Liuli set the red-furred rabbit wrapped in her tail down on the floor; a look of contempt shot from the rabbit’s eyes toward Liuli.

Cook…

Uh, Yue roughly understood what had happened…

She had been wondering how this guy who used to forget the seasoning packet when soaking instant noodles had suddenly become so good at cooking. Turns out she had stolen the food her chef subordinate sent over…

Mm… beat up her own subordinate, snatched the food, then presented it in front of him as if it were her own offering.

He did not dare explode because of the Boss’s prestige. That in itself was a kind of badass…

“Haha, haha…”

Yue gave the fox and the rabbit an awkward yet polite smile.

Liuli set the things down and helped Yue up.

The moment she was on her feet, Yue’s vision went black, both legs went soft, and she collapsed again.

Hypoglycemia…

Liuli’s hands were quicker than her eyes; she scooped Yue up and gently laid her on the sofa.

“I did too much moving around. My stamina cannot quite keep up…”

Yue said softly to Liuli, her voice a little weak, not noticing that the little rabbit’s ears beside her snapped straight up.

“Then how about I feed you?”

Liuli smiled with a hint of malice.

How would you even feed these noodles…

And this milk…

This guy would not want to feed me in that disgusting way, would she?

Eww…

“Scram, scram, scram! I can eat by myself. Do not feed me!”

Yue hurriedly pushed Liuli a little farther away.

“Then eat. You can use anything in the private room as you like. If there is any problem you can contact me anytime~”

Finished speaking, Liuli picked the lock cylinder up from the floor, plugged it back into the doorframe, then wrapped the little rabbit in her large tail and slipped out.

Seeing the fox and rabbit leave, Yue let out a breath.

That little rabbit just now should be the one who wanted to come take a look at her, [cFcFLV].

Just reading the chat logs Yue had wanted to beat him. Liuli’s soul perception is even richer; she probably really could not hold back and beat that guy out of shape on the spot.

But there is still one problem…

Yue looked at the noodles on the coffee table with some suspicion, picked up the chopsticks and flipped through them. They really were tomato-and-egg noodles.

Strange…

Why did she smell braised-beef-noodle scent just now…

…

Outside the door—

Liuli flicked her tail, picked up the bucket of braised-beef instant noodles that had been left by the doorway, hummed a little tune, and walked off swaying her tail, leaving the red-furred little rabbit standing there dumbfounded.

Yuenas watched Liuli depart in such a carefree manner and almost cried.

This was clearly the loving meal he had made for the little loli!

Not only had the Boss snatched it, he had also taken a vicious beating and been smashed straight back to his original form!

He would not be able to change back until tomorrow at the earliest!

You damn—why?!

I want a new Boss!!!

…

Sensing the extremely deep resentful gaze coming from behind, along with Yuenas’s MMP inner voice, Liuli showed not the slightest sign of caring.

Only after turning several corners did her expression gradually turn serious.

This Yue fellow insists on coming to my place at a time like this, and in such a fragile state no less…

Yuenas can be confirmed as no problem. Since he wants to see Yue so badly, just let him handle Yue’s meals while she is here…

But if it is not Yuenas, then who would it be…

There are not many people who can interfere with my ability…

The one who arranged for Little Nas to approach Yue, using it as a probe…

[Broken Star], Li Jiuge?

Liuli stared at her phone, her gaze growing heavier.

Looks like tonight it will be necessary to investigate this newbie who only joined a short while ago…

…

On the other side, a red-furred bunny expended tremendous effort to complete the magnificent feats of going upstairs, opening the door, and squeezing out through the crack.

Next he still had to complete three more such great feats before he could return to his computer.

“Yo yo yo, isn’t this LV? A few minutes out of sight and you have gotten this short?”

Yuenas raised his rabbit head, saw a stubbled man in a down jacket paired with huge floral shorts, and immediately felt anger rush up.

In the entire organization only that unrestrained character Li Jiuge would dress like this.

A newbie who had only just joined actually rushing over here to mock him?!

So angry that he condensed a small fireball to float beside him, ready to paste it across Li Jiu’s face.

Li Jiuge squatted down, stretched out two fingers, and gave a light pinch; that pitifully tiny fireball was popped with a plop.

“Tsk tsk, do not force it, Yuenas. Beaten into this state by the Boss, you ought to recuperate properly. Come, I will take you to a good place…”

A good place? What place?

Wait, how do you know I was beaten by the Boss?!

Not good!

Watching the large hand shoot toward him, Yuenas, who had finally reacted, let his rabbit paws fly and ran.

“Hey, Yuenas, as fellow SPs I actually rather admire you, but you do not know…”

Li Jiuge unhurriedly raised a hand to aim. “If you shout ‘Mama’ at a loli, she will not scold you for being a pervert. She will actually stop and seriously think about how to be a good mother.”

Yuenas: “???”

You this damn lo—

Bzzzzt—!

A bizarre blue electric current shot out and thoroughly pierced through Yuenas’s consciousness…

…

Inside the private room—

Yue set down the chopsticks, took a small sip of the hot milk, and leaned back against the sofa in satisfaction.

“Ugh, ah, I am alive again.”

“That little rabbit’s cooking is not half bad~”

Yue glanced at the time: 18:46

Think about whether there is anything else not done today…

The lottery tickets had already been bought when they came. She rummaged in her satchel, took two red-backgrounded, white-framed vouchers out of the inner pocket, then put them back.

The two tickets had the same numbers. First prize five million each; together, after individual income tax, eight million. Enough.

Another rather troublesome matter was that from the moment she bought the tickets until she went to claim the prize, Yue had to stay in this form and could not change back.

Mm…

Have not livestreamed today yet…

Charge!

Have not drawn any drafts today yet…

Slacked!

All right, there should be nothing else. Yue eagerly opened the Writer’s Assistant and sent the Thunder manuscript she had carefully prepared to her dear editor, hoping he would change his mind.

It was rejected without the slightest mercy!

Good-looking is good-looking, ugly is ugly; saying something is really ugly is truly very hurtful!

“My name is Yue. The twenty-second application for a contract is hereby declared a failure. Not long from now the twenty-third application will be launched.”

Tsk…

If writing novels could be as simple as drawing, that would be nice.

Yue set the milk cup on the table, pulled a drawing tablet from her satchel, connected it to the computer, and opened the livestream page.

Actually Yue’s comprehension was very strong; no matter the field she could pick it up extremely quickly… and then remain completely at an ordinary person’s level.

Only drawing was an exception.
