Chapter 77: The Most Expensive Brain in the Federation
As the two of them chatted more and more harmoniously, Mo Chengyu’s terminal beeped a few times.
She glanced down, furrowing her brows lightly. “Sorry Qiuqiu, it’s time for me to take my medication. I have to go back.”
“Then you should go back quickly.” Jiang Qiuqiu stood up to see her off. “Take care of yourself.”
Mo Chengyu nodded. “I’ll head back now. By the way, since I’m leaving today, can I still come over for a meal next time?”
“Of course.” Jiang Qiuqiu enjoyed chatting with people. “As long as it’s before five in the afternoon, I have time.”
Jiang Qiuqiu escorted Mo Chengyu to the door.
Just before parting, Mo Chengyu’s long coat fluttered, and she said to Jiang Qiuqiu, “Next time a stranger enters your house, remember to activate the defense mode of your robot butler. It’ll be safer that way.”
“Qiuqiu, you should be a little cautious towards others. I’m leaving!”
The ashen figure quickly disappeared into the slightly dim night.
Although pale, she still exuded a cool aura.
Is this the beautiful sister with a cold temperament and understanding?
Jiang Qiuqiu smiled and returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Meanwhile.
As soon as Mo Chengyu disappeared into the night, two tall figures appeared by her side.
One on the left, one on the right, they stood 50 centimeters apart from Mo Chengyu, their faces stern and serious.
Zou: “You can’t go to unknown people’s houses alone next time.”
“What unknown people? Before she moved in, didn’t you investigate everything about her ancestors for generations? How can you call her an unknown person?” Mo Chengyu, with a cold and aloof face, spoke somewhat casually.
You: “Even if it’s someone verified, they could still be dangerous individuals. They might be…”
“You’re overthinking it.” Mo Chengyu massaged her temples. “If we’re talking about dangerous individuals, I’m the dangerous one to her. With her, I could handle twenty of them single-handedly.”
“But if you go there alone—”
“This place is as secure as a fortress, there’s no way for outsiders to get in. If something happens even with all these precautions, then perhaps it’s meant to be.”
“So there’s no ‘buts’! I’m going back tomorrow!”
Zou/You: “But…”
“Stop it, stop it, stop it, I won’t listen. I don’t want to stay there alone anymore, and the food is terrible. If I endure a few more days like this, my brain will explode!”
“The most expensive brain in the entire Federation!”
Mo Chengyu petulantly lamented, while the guards could only sigh. “Fine, but your defense mechanism must be activated.”
“Okay, okay, I know.”
“I’ll definitely activate it, after all, it’s also a guarantee for my life.”

The next day, as Jiang Qiuqiu just got up, she heard a reminder message from the robot butler.
“This morning, a lady named Mo Chengyu left a gift at the doorstep for you to collect.”
“A gift?”
She put on her shoes and ran to the door curiously.
Indeed, there was a square box placed at the doorstep.
Since Mo Chengyu wasn’t around, Jiang Qiuqiu naturally couldn’t refuse. She brought the box inside.
Opening the outer packaging of the box, Jiang Qiuqiu saw a row of free-flowing handwriting on the paper.
“Hello Qiuqiu, thank you for the delicious food you prepared for me yesterday. This is my token of gratitude.”
“Please don’t say that gratitude is unnecessary. You gave me delicious food, and I’m giving you a little something of mine in return. It’s only fair.”
“This is a mental restoration helmet, nothing particularly useful… but it can occasionally refresh your mind. You can wear it when you feel tired to relieve fatigue.”
“Meeting you is like meeting an old friend again. Please accept this gift, otherwise, I’d feel embarrassed to visit again next time.”
She really said everything.
