The Max-Level Boss Is Being Forced to Work Again Today

[My Upcoming Book: I'm Really Just a Support Staffer [Interstellar]. Please add it to your reading list!] [Story blurb] (The story begins after she enters military academy) Original title: Please, Let Me Be a Slacker Yu Chu, a great marshal who once commanded an interstellar army of a million, was reborn as a freshman in the combat infantry program at an academy. In her previous life, she had killed countless enemies, led her soldiers to victory in hundreds of battles, and mastered every aspect of commanding mechs. This time around, Great Marshal Yu suddenly saw the light. She'd worked herself to the bone for so long, her nerves wound tight every minute of every day. Now that she'd been lucky enough to live a second life, Yu Chu suddenly felt tired. So every day, she slacked off, coasted along, and waited for death while living off the academy's food. Everyone thought Yu Chu was an utterly ordinary combat infantry student, and not even a very good one. That was until the academy went on a group outing and got held up by space pirates. While her classmates and teachers panicked, Yu Chu took out the pirates with one punch each, then hijacked their spaceship for good measure. Everyone: "I- I can't believe it!" After that, whether the class needed a long-range machine gunner, the school's main team needed a mech engineer, or the interstellar federations needed another competitor for their rankings, Yu Chu was dragged into the fray. "I'm just an ordinary combat infantry student! What are you all doing? Can't you let me slack off?" Class monitor, principal, and officer: "No!" Yu Chu: "..." Maybe I'm not human, but you guys are the real dogs :) "What do you do when an overpowered expert insists on pretending to be weak? Asking for a friend." "I thought she was ordinary, but it turns out she's been playing the fool to catch the tiger?" Yu Chu protested, "I'm not! I didn't!" #The bittersweet (ridiculous) tale of an overpowered expert trying to retire, only to be forced back into action# [Reader's Guide] 1. The heroine is genuinely a powerful expert, and her golden finger is absurdly overpowered. If that bothers you, please don't click. 2. Interstellar fiction, with an original setting. 3. The heroine is a natural slacker and a master of keeping her head down. 4. The male lead is gentle and good at keeping house, but not much of a fighter. He supports the heroine. [Important! Important! Important!] [Blurb dated 2020.12.23; screenshot saved] Please add my new book, When It Comes to Keeping a Low Profile, I'm a Professional, to your reading list! [New story blurb] In the future Interstellar era, there is a type of genius people call the "God-gifted." In an age when every popular profession has demanding requirements for its students, the God-gifted are blessed with the highest aptitude for learning. They can study any profession they want, as long as they are willing. As a result, they tend to master two or more professions at the same time, making them coveted talents that every faction competes to recruit. Xi Yuan was one of the extremely rare God-gifted, and she was even stronger than the others. In theory, someone like her should have had all the major factions fighting to bring her into their ranks. But Xi Yuan had one admirable quality: she knew how to protect herself. Become an infantry soldier? Infantry soldiers charged into the thick of battle, faced great danger, and had to be the first to step up whenever something happened. Too risky. Become a healer? Healers attracted too much attention and always had people following them around to provide protection. Not free enough. Mech engineers worked too hard, and command staff had to strain their brains too much... In the end, she chose to become an utterly ordinary florist. She wouldn't have to worry about her life being in danger, and she could spend her free time drinking tea and tending flowers. It was a wonderfully comfortable life. Until one day, she couldn't bear to leave an injured infantry soldier to die after he was attacked. Once he got back, he stabbed her in the back: "Instructor! We're still one substitute short, right? Xi Yuan is really strong. She can definitely do it!" Xi Yuan: "..." The Federation, already reeling from an invasion by alien species, never expected that when the survival of the Interstellar realm was at stake, a God-gifted would show up, shouting, "Big brother, please don't kill me!" while wielding a knife and tearing the alien species' lair apart. Theme: Treasure life and live it to the fullest.
