"So boring. So boring. So boring..."
After she repeated it countless times, the system finally couldn't help but speak up: [Host, you've already completed the basic armor-making course? You're more than ten years behind others in terms of foundation. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing Noel?]
The girl lay on the table, her fingers tapping absently on the surface. [System, with my powerful mental strength, anything I see once is imprinted in my brain. Why would I need to study? Besides, even if I were to embarrass myself, it wouldn't be Noel who would be embarrassed. I'm just Qianya now, an ordinary resident of the Federation.]
The system replied: [Since the host is so free, I certainly won't refuse tonight's mission.]
[A mission?] Qianya sat up abruptly. [What kind of mission? Find something, capture someone, or repair the space?]
[Neither.]
[What is that? Besides these three types of tasks, are there other tasks I need to do?] Qianya finally became interested.
[Yes. What the host needs to do now is ensure that no one contacts you tonight, and even communication with the AI is not possible.]
[Keep it a secret, huh? Well, let's wait and see tonight. I'll go take care of my own problems first.] Qianya stood up, stretched, and her energy returned.
...
As night fell, Qianya, dressed in a black dress, with black hair and black eyes, stood out conspicuously on the brightly lit street.
[System, why is the night so bright on this capital planet? I'm dressed in all black, so everyone can spot me immediately, okay?] Qianya complained.
[Today's mission doesn't require hiding.] The goal is to make everyone remember the Watcher, Scarlet Moon.
[Okay. But you still haven't told me what the mission is.]
[The Federal Building ahead; go inside and proceed to the 102nd floor.]
[Are you taking advantage of my lack of common sense? You need a pass to enter and exit the Federal Building, and I don't have one—wait, Rella seems to have given me a pass, but wouldn't showing it reveal my identity?]
[So how do I access it to see what the host wants?]
Qianya blinked, looking at herself?
[Will the Federation issue a warrant for my arrest after this mission is completed?]
[No. The Watchers will not be enemies of the Federation of Humans.]
[That's good.] Chiya nodded, then decided to secretly use her spatial jump ability to get in.
Since she wouldn't be wanted afterward, she shouldn't barge in and openly slap the Federation in the face.
Having made her decision, Qianya released her mental energy to probe the interior of the Federal Building. As for the anti-psychic materials used in constructing the Federal Building—Qianya penetrated them directly, because as a Watcher, her mental energy was not repelled by any force.
Qianya was startled when someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw an old acquaintance. "What are you doing? I haven't taken any of your things today."
"I know. What brings you here?" The newcomer was dressed in military uniform, and his handsome face made him quite good-looking, but his expression was too serious, giving off an unapproachable vibe.
“You old-fashioned guy, you blockhead, smile! Don’t always have that cold face.” Qianya poked his cheek; thanks to the high heels she wore on missions, the action wasn’t difficult for her.
The man slapped her hand away, saying, "Answer me."
"Lian Han, Lian Han, you really live up to your name. But we'll only know what will happen once we go in."
Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Lian Han suddenly said, "The Restoration Stone has already been returned to the Ling family."
"It's good that you paid it back. I knew you were the most reliable."
Lian Han looked at her without saying a word. This woman, who had Ling Chen of the Ling family right beside her, insisted on throwing him onto a starship outside the capital star. How boring.
It's always been like this; the people in the military still believe that he has some special relationship with Lady Feiyue.
"Alright, since you're here, I won't sneak in. Can you take me into that building?"
Lian Han was surprised, "You don't have a pass to the Federal Building?"
The Federal Building is one of the iconic buildings of the Imperial Capital Star. Constructed using the Federation's rarest anti-psychic material, it cost a fortune and has a total of seven hundred floors. It serves as the main office space for Federation political figures, as well as for receiving guests and conducting negotiations. Even large-scale events and celebrations are mostly held here.
Therefore, the pass is a luxury for ordinary people, but Lady Scarlet Moon should be able to get it easily.
“I’m neither an important person in your Federation, nor do I come here often. Why would I have that thing?” Qianya retorted.
"If Your Excellency requires it, we will gladly provide it."
"That sounds nice. I wonder who was chasing me back then, they almost threw me into federal prison."
Once again, old grievances were brought up, and Lian Han sighed helplessly, "I didn't know you back then. But now we're comrades-in-arms. Is there any need for Lady Feiyue to keep bringing this up?"
"Who said I'm your comrade-in-arms? I'm not from the military. Take me inside right now, or will you take responsibility if we're late?"
Lian Han's eyelids twitched, and he reached out his hand to Qian Ya, "Let's go."
Linking arms with Lian Han, Qian Ya belatedly asked, "Is there a ball at the Federal Building tonight?" Otherwise, why would they allow female companions to come in?
"Yes. Today's ball is to welcome..."
Qianya grasped what she considered the key point: "So, you're going to wear a military uniform to the ball?"
Why not?
Qianya's lips twitched. "You're just being arrogant because you're favored."
Lian Han: "...Sir, please don't use idioms carelessly." He simply didn't want to deal with those young ladies from noble families, so he simply wore his military uniform, keeping strangers at bay. After all, there weren't many women like Fei Yue who could completely ignore his cold demeanor.
"Isn't that right? My elder brother often says that to me." Qianya, who almost said "elder," secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised herself for her cleverness.
She has an older brother? Lian Han was surprised, but didn't think too much about it. He began to explain seriously, "To be arrogant because of favor means to be arrogant because of the favor and grace given by others. The merits and honors I have earned myself naturally do not belong to others."
Qianya rolled her eyes at him. In the past, even if she used the wrong idiom, Ruila and the others would just remind her. No one would seriously explain it to her anymore.
"Please show your proof," the messenger said with a smile.
Qianya looked at Lianhan, who then took out his pass and two invitations for her to check.
"Human service? The Federal Building is so high-class." Even the gatekeepers at their Noel's mansion are still robots.
"It is indeed luxurious. But the upper class in the Federation seeks more considerate and thoughtful human services. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and you'll get used to it."
Qianya, who was just making a casual remark and didn't expect him to respond, said, "...Lian Han. I've noticed you're acting very differently today. Usually, I can talk for ages and you don't even say a word."
"You are my date." So he will maintain his gentlemanly manners.
What's wrong with his female companion? Qianya clearly didn't understand what he meant.
Lian Han glanced at her but didn't explain further. "Which floor are we going to?"
"102."
