Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life
Chapter 157 Battle Makes Me Happy 39
As it turned out, Kori was so shameless that he followed Qiu Tong back to the dormitory and said with a fawning smile, "I think it's afternoon tea time now, I'll go to the cafeteria and get two servings to go."
Before Qiu Tong could respond, he opened the door and ran away.
Qiu Tong watched the whole thing with a cold expression, and finally understood why Kou Li insisted on coming back with her. It turned out that she was after my cooking machine.
Qiu Tong knew that Kou Li had only come back with her for the food, and she instantly felt a sense of loss.
But Cori just wanted to spend more time with her, which is why he was so eager when Ula and Laki asked him to send people back.
Although eating was also part of his purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have been so excited to suggest afternoon tea, as he doesn't usually have this habit.
Kouri happily packed his things and returned, only to be met with Qiu Tong's indifferent face. He assumed Qiu Tong was getting impatient and didn't think anything of it.
He was unaware that Qiu Tong had misunderstood his intentions, and continued to enthusiastically ask her to take out the cooking machine.
Qiu Tong was busy thinking about random things and forgot to take out the cooking machine beforehand. After thinking about it, she took the cooking machine out of her space in front of Kou Li.
Anyway, she'll be performing the disappearing act in front of him later, so taking things out of thin air now is like giving him a heads-up.
Sure enough, when Cori saw the cooking machine that appeared out of nowhere, his eyes widened in shock, and he looked completely incredulous.
At this moment, he finally understood why Qiu Tong had said she had a way to bring bombs into Sirius Fortress.
But then a wave of fear washed over him, and he asked nervously, "You didn't take things like that in front of other people, did you?"
Qiu Tong didn't understand why he was so nervous, but she still honestly confessed, "Only you and Li Li know."
Upon hearing this, Corrie breathed a sigh of relief, but still advised seriously as a precaution: "You'd better not let anyone else know about this. No one but the three of us can be told, understand? Is Li Li trustworthy?"
Seeing his reaction, Qiu Tong guessed the seriousness of the matter and solemnly nodded in agreement. To confirm her guess, she also asked the question that was on her mind.
"What would happen if others found out? Li Li is trustworthy; she's the only friend I can trust."
Hearing Qiu Tong's evaluation of Li Li, Kou Li was a little unhappy and asked sourly, "She is the only one, then what am I?" He ignored Qiu Tong's first question and only heard the second one, "the only one".
Regardless of whether the word "add friend" appears later, in his eyes, it's simply unacceptable to use it on other people.
Kori focused on the wrong thing and didn't give Qiu Tong the answer she wanted. Instead, he asked a strange question, which made her misunderstand his meaning and think that he couldn't answer it.
But she still answered the question honestly, "Well, my only friend. You're more like a slightly better colleague. What's wrong? Why are you asking that?"
Kori was hurt by the phrase "a better colleague," and looked at Qiu Tong with a wounded and incredulous expression.
It turns out that in her eyes, I wasn't even a friend, just a colleague, while she thought she was someone special.
Seeing his expression, Qiu Tong thought she had said something wrong, but after thinking about it, she still felt that what she said was correct.
Since there's nothing wrong with it, then he must have misunderstood what he meant.
Both were lost in their own thoughts, and neither spoke.
It wasn't until Cori took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and tried to reassure himself: Li Li is just a woman, it doesn't matter. As long as I work harder, I will soon become her only one.
Thinking about it this way, his blocked thoughts were relieved a little, and only then did he remember to answer Qiu Tong's previous question.
"You can't let others know about your special abilities. Aren't you afraid that if they're discovered, you'll be captured and used for research?"
Qiu Tong was speechless at Kou Li's erratic speech.
He wouldn't answer when I asked him the first question, instead saying something completely unrelated. But when I asked him other questions, he answered the previous one. Has he lost his mind? Can't we just have a normal conversation?
The clueless Kori was unaware of Qiu Tong's opinion of him and was still explaining why she couldn't tell others about her spatial ability.
Even if you are not arrested for research, your personal freedom may be deprived in the future.
Think about it: if the higher-ups knew you had this ability, wouldn't they use it wisely?
For example, in this mission, if they knew you could collect items out of thin air, they would have your special ability bring a large number of bombs to Sirius Fortress and detonate them, without considering your safety.
If you succeed and escape unscathed, they'll get a taste of success and then assign you highly dangerous tasks, keeping you endlessly performing these perilous missions.
Qiu Tong asked uncertainly, "You mean that our country already has people with special abilities, and the military has recruited them to perform highly dangerous missions?"
"Not only does it exist in our country, but other countries do as well. However, the number of people with special abilities is very small, and each person has different abilities and performs different tasks. These tasks are not necessarily all high-risk ones."
The only thing they have in common is that they are all under state control, their files are kept confidential, and only a few high-ranking officials know their identities and what special abilities they possess.
Qiu Tong understood what he meant; it meant she would be forced into hard labor and lose her freedom.
Fortunately, she didn't reveal her spatial secret just now, otherwise who knows what would have happened to her now.
Suddenly, Qiu Tong thought of a question: if it was a secret matter, how did Kori know about it?
She looked at Kouri with a probing gaze. Kouri saw the suspicion in Qiu Tong's eyes and guessed what she was thinking. He didn't hide anything from Qiu Tong and directly told her why he knew.
"I know because I am also one of those people with special abilities. Apart from a few people, no one else knows."
"Even your parents and Captain Raki don't know?" Qiu Tong didn't believe they didn't know. Judging from the helplessness, heartache, and conflicted emotions that Ura showed when he treated Kori, she knew he knew the truth.
She now understood why Ula had looked at Cori with that kind of gaze back then, and whether Raki knew or not, who could say for sure.
After all, given his close relationship with the Corley family, one can probably guess a thing or two. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Sometimes what everyone considers a secret is actually something that is known to all but is not. It's just that everyone is smart enough to pretend not to know.
Kori's silence spoke volumes, and Qiu Tong didn't press the matter further, but was simply curious about Kori's special ability.
"What is your special ability?"
"Superpowers? Oh, you mean special abilities, like gravity enhancement?"
Qiu Tong blinked at him, and Kou Li knew what she wanted to ask without asking, so he told her directly.
"Usually in mech battles, when the opponent's mech is affected by my gravity boost, its movements become sluggish, and I can take advantage of this moment of sluggishness to take them down."
Qiu Tong felt that Kouri's superpower was truly born for the battlefield, a cheating tool in combat. Whoever faced him was doomed. No wonder he was promoted so quickly, reaching the rank of major general in just a few years. She had thought it was because of Ula.
Now it seems that he was promoted based on his real abilities, not what she had thought. Qiu Tong instantly admired him greatly.
The two remained silent until the electric food processor beeped, at which point they turned their attention to afternoon tea.
It was the first time Qiu Tong had ever heard of afternoon tea being served in the cafeteria. She exclaimed in surprise, only to be mercilessly mocked by Kou Li.
"You're dreaming. Food is so precious; not everyone can afford afternoon tea."
I understand. It's a class issue; besides the leaders, it means only leaders can enjoy these things.
Qiu Tong took a big bite of the French toast, the raw material of which she didn't know, and stared at Kori with some resentment.
However, the delicious French toast not only tasted sweet, but also made Qiu Tong feel much better.
Don't ask her how she knows French toast is delicious if she hasn't eaten it. Just tell her it's based on experience. If the main dishes are so bad, how good can afternoon tea be?
Anyway, ever since she got the cooking machine, Qiu Tong no longer has to worry about eating bad food.
Qiu Tong's thoughts wandered: Actually, losing personal freedom isn't so bad, at least you won't lack food or clothing.
As if she could read minds, Cori said indulgently, "Don't worry, if you want to eat it in the future, I will always save my share for you. Don't think about anything else."
That doesn't make sense either. He only had one portion, but he brought back two. Whose was the extra portion?
