Chapter 762 - The Boss of the Special Department
Chapter 762: The Boss of the Special Department
Xue Xi and the rest were still chatting in the meeting room. Xiao Xiao smiled and ate a few mouthfuls of tea leaves before finally putting them down. She then turned to look at the few slices of lemon they had brewed for tea.
She thought about it for a while and reluctantly moved her gaze away. However, she suddenly saw that when someone was making instant noodles, they had set aside a seasoning bag and forgot to include it. Then, her eyes lit up and she rushed over. She picked up the seasoning bag and opened it. After eating a little, she squinted her eyes happily.
Xue Xi: “…”
Qian Zheng touched her forehead and explained to Xue Xi, “Xiao Xiao’s special power allows her to not eat for a long time, but this is her compensation. She usually can’t walk away when she sees food. Moreover, her stomach is very strong. Basically, she can eat anything we can’t stomach!”
Xue Xi: “…”
The black cat took the opportunity to complain. “There was a period of time when my cat food would often be reduced for no reason! Later on, I realized that it was Xiao Xiao who stole the food! How heartless to snatch the food of cats!”
Xiao Xiao bit her lip, and her chubby cheeks were filled with cuteness. “But your cat food is really delicious. It’s like biscuits. Moreover, it’s even more expensive than my biscuits!”
Everyone: “…”
Qian Zheng could not help but look at her and smile. “To you, as long as it’s edible, there’s nothing you don’t like, right?”
“There are some.” Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue again and licked the instant noodles’ seasoning. “Do you guys know that there is a kind of biscuit in this world called Hunger Biscuit?”
Everyone was stunned.
Qian Zheng said, “Is it the kind for astronauts? One piece can fill you up for a long time.”
She smiled, shook her head, and nodded again. “Yes and no. That kind of biscuit can indeed last for a long time if you eat one, but it’s not the kind of compressed biscuit that astronauts eat. It’s a real hunger-pressure biscuit. It’s just a small piece, about the size of a fingernail. After eating it, you won’t feel hungry for three days! However, that thing is really too hard to swallow! Moreover, it’s very hard to digest. It will make your stomach bulge. I think it tastes even worse than the Guanyin clay that the refugees in ancient times ate!”
Xiao Xiao seemed to have recalled the taste of the biscuit and frowned.
At this moment, someone walked in and took out a bag of Chinese medicine from the fridge to brew it. He then took a sip and frowned bitterly.
Xiao Xiao’s attention was immediately diverted. She looked at him eagerly and asked, “Does it taste good?”
That person: “…”
The corners of that person’s lips twitched. “There’s no sugar in Chinese medicine. There’s even a lotus seed. Do you think it’d be delicious?”
It was so bitter that his face was scrunched up!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao thought about it carefully. “It’s a little bitter, but it should taste good.”
Everyone: “…”
Qian Zheng was speechless and anxious. “Xiao Xiao, you even think that Chinese medicine is delicious? Did you make up those disgusting biscuits? Why haven’t I heard of them in this world?!”
Xiao Xiao hurriedly waved her hands and looked around. She then said, “Yes, yes! Do you know of an international esper academy?”
International esper academy?
Xue Xi was paying them no mind at first, but when she heard this, she paid more attention and smiled seriously.
Xiao Xiao nodded with a serious expression. “That esper academy will choose a few espers from all over the country to join every few years, but it’s extremely difficult to graduate. I remember that Boss graduated from that school. On the day he came back to take office, he had a biscuit in his pocket. When he saw that I was craving it, he casually passed it to me.”
Xiao Xiao sighed silently. She seemed to recall the scene back then and the taste of the biscuits. Immediately, she sighed with an ugly expression. “That’s the worst thing I’ve ever eaten! My throat!”
Qian Zheng: “…How bad is it to be called disgusting?”
She smiled. “It tastes worse than shit!”
Qian Zheng’s attention was instantly diverted. She said in horror, “You’ve even eaten shit?”
She smiled. “…”
The black cat instantly made a gesture of disgust and jumped onto Xue Xi’s shoulder. It looked at Xue Xi in confusion and asked, “What are you thinking?”
The mist in Xue Xi’s eyes had dissipated a lot. Her black eyes were huge and her entire being was intimidating. When she heard this, she slowly raised her dull eyes and slowly said, “I’m wondering what kind of person the boss you guys are talking about is.”
The tall figure from today’s visit to the monitoring department flashed across her mind. That person seemed to be doing his best to hide his identity, but that figure looked so familiar…
Everyone turned to look at her.
Xue Xi: “?”
Just as she was filled with question marks, the black cat said coldly, “Shouldn’t you be the one who knows him the best?”
Qian Zheng was also puzzled, but she knew that there were some things that should be said and some things that should not be said. For example, when she saw General Xiang in Bin City, she’d had to shut her mouth, so she coughed and did not speak.
On the other hand, Xiao Xiao’s mind was the simplest. Other than for eating, she did not use her brain in any other aspect. She immediately said, “Boss, according to legend, is the most formidable person in existence. He is very tall and very handsome! I heard that his background is also very strong. I also heard that he is the strongest esper among the espers that have been discovered so far! With Boss around, no one from other countries will dare to provoke our country! Anyway, Boss is my idol!”
The moment she said this, Qian Zheng asked the biggest question in Xue Xi’s heart. “Erm, let me ask weakly, what exactly is Boss’s special power?”
The moment she said this, Xiao Xiao was also stunned. She stared blankly at Qian Zheng and shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Qian Zheng: “…”
Xue Xi: “…”
“Tsk.” The black cat sneered. “Seeing how smoothly you speak, I thought you knew everything!”
Xiao Xiao licked another mouthful of instant noodles’ seasoning and asked the black cat, “Do you know?”
The black cat sneered. “Of course…
“I don’t know.”
Qian Zheng and Xiao Xiao almost fell to the ground.
The black cat did not mind and sneered. “But do you know what is the most shocking superpower?”
Everyone shook their heads.
The black cat said, “Something just like yours.”
The others: “?”
Xue Xi seemed to have thought of something and understood a little.
Xiao Xiao asked in confusion, “What about it?”
The black cat said, “Do you think Boss is formidable?”
Xiao Xiao immediately nodded. “Of course!”
The black cat: “Then do you think the big ice block at the military affairs department is formidable?”
Big ice block?
Just as Xue Xi was feeling confused, Xiao Xiao smiled and answered, “It’s alright. After all, that person’s superpower is to freeze water into ice. A person’s body is 70 to 80% made up of water. He can turn you into a huge ice cube with a single glance and kill you directly. This superpower is quite impressive, but it’s just average!”
The black cat asked further, “What about Boss’s, then?”
