You Have a New Job (Continued)

"Mmm... delicious, incredibly delicious, the best in the world!"

Anqi gave it the highest rating—as for how many points were for the tea and how many for the person, that was hard to say.

Delicious tea, tasty snacks, and Apponia's attentive hugs and feeding services made Anqi forget her original intentions and wholeheartedly enjoy the experience.

Apponia has turned a waste-generating machine into a waste itself—it's terrifying!

Fortunately, Anqi has always been a strong woman.

After indulging in the gentle embrace of love for a while, she finally regained her senses, held her teacup, and said softly:

"Klein showed me that letter."

"I see. I guessed it too. The only reason Xiao Anqi would suddenly act like this is because of that letter."

"Sister Apponia, this is not right, I will..."

Anqi stared wide-eyed, puffed out her cheeks, and couldn't say what would happen.

Apponia smiled gently.

"As long as it helps you, like Sue, I will support you in every way I can."

She was referring, of course, to Su in the real world, the one she entrusted everything to after only spending half a day with her.

"Waaah..."

Anqi let out a sob, her face displaying a series of hesitant and troubled expressions.

In front of Apponia, she found it difficult to maintain the maturity of a behind-the-scenes boss, and always unconsciously revealed various reactions that were consistent with her physical age.

Damn it, is this the power of Mom... cough, Apponia?!

Anqi looked up unwillingly.

Apponia wore a captivating smile that seemed to radiate holy light, while the towering, round planet covered in a snow-white veil constantly exuded a powerful and shocking impact.

"It's so bright..."

After struggling for a moment, Anqi pouted and hung her head in dejection.

Apponia responded to these reactions with a smile, but also with a hint of confusion.

She can read minds, but firstly, mind reading is impolite, and Apponia usually tries to suppress that ability, although she can't always control it freely. More importantly, perhaps due to a significant difference in mental strength or other abilities, Apponia can't read Anqi's mind.

Anqi's childlike reactions were certainly adorable, but Apponia couldn't understand the reasons behind them and therefore didn't know how to comfort her.

This caused Apponia some distress, and her eyes showed a mother's tenderness and pity.

"If you have any troubles, please tell me. I will do my best to help you, Anqi."

Apponia said gently.

Anqi looked up, blinked, and then sighed as if giving up.

"It's nothing, but if Apponia does this, I really won't be able to resist doing whatever I want to Apponia's body..."

Anqi reminded him softly, her eyes gleaming with suppressed excitement.

Ahem, let me state upfront that it's not because of her despicable figure or her lack of compassion—at least that's not the main reason. You must believe in Anqi's integrity!

The main reason is Apponia's special ability.

While precepts can be replaced by methods like mental suggestion, who can replicate the ability to see through the threads of fate in each person and thus foresee the future?

As mentioned before, once Anqi reaches this level, simply accumulating Herrscher- level energy and power is no longer enough to bring about a qualitative change.

At this point, the only hope for taking the next step forward, besides the Path of the False God and the Cocoon of the Finality that are being laid out, can only be placed on some other special factors—such as the theoretically limitless Chimera, or skills like Apponia that seem abstract.

Anqi held a sliver of hope while observing Apponia's reaction.

To everyone's surprise, Apponia seemed to completely disregard Anqi's warning, her gentle smile seemingly saying, "Do whatever you want."

Anqi was deflated again. Although she still felt bewildered by this kindness, she couldn't help but be curious about its specific source, so she asked:

Can Apponia truly see destiny?

"... That might not be a power that humans should possess."

Apponia's expression darkened, and a heartbreaking sorrow filled her eyes.

Anqi didn't need to ask in detail; she could sense what Apponia had gone through just from some vague accounts—witnessing tragedy but being unable to change it, or trying to change it but causing more tragedies. People who supposedly see through fate often have similar experiences, don't they?

"Um... well, we don't have to talk about it, Apponia- neechan, don't think about it!"

Anqi couldn't bear to see Apponia so sad, so she immediately took her soft, delicate hands in her arms and looked at Apponia with her big, watery eyes, trying to offer her comfort.

Apponia then laughed again.

"I see a broken thread in you."

"!!!"

Anqi's pupils suddenly contracted.
