Main Character:
Shen Yao
"Phew, finally made it!"
"Quick quick quick, sit down sit down, put on your protective suits properly, no whispering."
"......"
Zou Xue had just returned, planning to complain to Shen Yao about her situation, but the counselor's words left her speechless.
Puffing her cheeks in annoyance, Zou Xue frowned and gave a light harrumph.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao tapped her wristband, and the next second Zou Xue responded with a clatter of messages.
Seeing the group chat filled with long paragraphs, Shen Yao's expression was indescribable.
"Really, I'm not lying, temporary teammates are unreliable, being handsome doesn't help either!!!"
The use of several exclamation marks perfectly captured Zou Xue's panicked mood during the mission.
Compared to her eagerness when they first disembarked from the spaceship, Zou Xue now had the serenity of one who had renounced the world, as if it were nothing more than that.
"Feifei and I still have a bit before we arrive, how's the situation at the gathering point?"
Tang Wen spoke up, causing Zou Xue to exclaim, "You're closer than me, why haven't you returned yet?"
Yu Feifei poured out her bitterness, "Don't mention it, we ran into a few lunatics on the road, just shaking off the beast tide behind us wasted too much time," otherwise they would have been back long ago.
Zou Xue's eyes lit up, about to send a message asking what kind of lunatics they were, when Shen Yao abruptly pressed her finger.
Shen Yao shook her head, signaling Zou Xue not to cause trouble at this time, then turned to tell Tang Wen and Yu Feifei about the spaceship and gathering point, "The spaceship departs in half an hour, the counselor looks serious, you'd better hurry."
Missing this spaceship means waiting for another time; no one knows what happened to this planet.
If something happens to those left behind, there won't even be regret medicine.
Zou Xue gave an "aiyo," stayed seated and started muttering quietly, but seeing the counselor's protective suit looking over from not far away, she immediately shut up.
The tense atmosphere became anxious as more people boarded the spaceship.
Shen Yao kept looking toward the doorway, hearing the robot inside the spaceship broadcasting dutifully, until Tang Wen and Yu Feifei appeared in her sight.
They're back!
Anyway, Tang Wen and Yu Feifei finally reached the gathering point before the spaceship departed, even though these two unlucky ones hadn't completed this exploration mission.
Speaking is strictly forbidden inside the spaceship; using wristbands is fine.
The four sat in a row, using the blind spots of the seats in front and behind to shield themselves, complaining to each other about their unlucky experiences on the road.
"...... I'm speechless! You don't know, we were walking fine on the road, then saw several people running toward us, with countless giant animals chasing behind them," Yu Feifei said with a fierce expression; even though her body was buried in her protective suit, Shen Yao could still feel Yu Feifei's anger and irritability from these words.
Tang Wen's squad wasn't far from Yu Feifei's squad, so the two partnered up to run back, "The giant animals went crazy, we could have solved it by taking a detour, but a few mecha soldiers in the team wanted to help," these two powerless good-for-nothings could only choose to risk their lives to accompany a gentleman.
Later Tang Wen made a quick decision, not to get entangled, and pulled Yu Feifei to secretly run away, only then returning to the gathering point before the spaceship departed.
"You didn't see those mecha soldiers, like cats that ate mint, clamoring to rush in and help," Yu Feifei thought that although she had been busy in her squad for days without receiving this much care and affection, strangers they had only met once could make the mecha soldiers desperate to help, really making her gnash her teeth in anger.
It wasn't jealousy, just that it made people feel uncomfortable; it really wasn't Yu Feifei's own problem, clearly this teammate of hers had a screw loose.
Tang Wen followed closely, echoing Yu Feifei's words; the two had been together this whole time on the way back, witnessing everything that happened.
Shen Yao, Zou Xue:......
Shen Yao didn't react much, but Zou Xue felt Tang Wen and Yu Feifei were her kindred spirits.
Who let her encounter unreliable mecha soldiers? Simply disgracing the school.
Shen Yao silently mentioned that her squad's mecha soldier was also not with the team.
Dormitory Four:......
What absolute miserable fate is this? The people in our dorm should just buy a lottery ticket and see if they can win.
While chatting via wristband, the spaceship beneath them slowly started up. Shen Yao turned her head to look at the empty space below, the view outside constantly rising higher.
In the distance, a patch of black met the horizon, like a spreading black line.
"Host, that's the beast tide rushing toward the gathering point; it contains both animals and plants."
"What about ahead?" Shen Yao calmly pulled up the wristband's recording function and zoomed out, trying to capture multi-angle images of the distance as much as possible.
"They're people," more precisely, people hiding inside mechas to escape for their lives.
With a soft exclamation, the system discovered there were acquaintances of theirs inside the mechas.
Shen Yao didn't care, but seriously appreciated the footage she had captured.
The continuously enlarged and processed image was blurry, but the general outline could be seen.
Constantly confirming and repairing, constantly adjusting and improving, Shen Yao finally obtained a picture that could be called terrifying.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao turned off her wristwatch, turned her head to stop looking outside, and after the spaceship completely left the planet, she sent the photo to the group.
Tang Wen and the others:?......!!!
"This ghostly thing, we were right to run; staying behind would only make us food on the animals' plates."
"Those mecha soldiers ahead," Tang Wen could only type six dots, feeling the school's education for the Mecha Department was too gentle, otherwise they couldn't have produced such a nature that doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"There will be school teachers taking action; if all else fails, we can ask the Federal Government for help," the jurisdiction of this exploration planet belongs to the government, and if something happens, the government will cover it.
They left too fast; it can be said the school's escort teacher reacted quickly, starting the evacuation as soon as they received the news.
And after they flew away from the exploration planet, the entire planet experienced mountain-collapse and tsunami-like tremors, like a natural disaster that hadn't happened for a long time, also constantly brewing on this planet.
Life aboard the spaceship was somewhat dull; once they had left the dangerous environment, the counselors no longer restricted the students from speaking.
Zou Xue could finally complain with her roommates, and even gathering them in their dorm wasn't enough—with so many classmates all around front and back, left and right, what was the point of not speaking?
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao listened to Zou Xue's various gossip every day and successfully endured until the spaceship returned to L98 Planet.
Still parked on the school playground, which had seen no change despite several days passing.
Shen Yao disembarked from the spaceship, her feet once again touching the ground, and at the same time, she received a special holiday notification from the school.
Only students who participated in the exploration mission were granted leave, and by the way, they were to write up the exploration process as a report to submit to their department's counselor after the holiday ended.
Complaints rose and fell; who would be willing to write a report that obviously contained many words and would be very troublesome?
Shen Yao did not return to the dormitory; she waved goodbye to Zou Xue and the others, turned around, and boarded a hover car outside the school to leave.
She needed to make a trip to the suburbs first to check on the field she had rented by paying money.
System:...
The system had not expected the host to truly want to focus on farming; it had thought those words were just said casually.
In the field growing well, robots were constantly shuttling back and forth inside.
Shen Yao manifested her Spirit Body Chamomile, connecting with the already-flowering plants—better than nothing—and by the way, she did not forget to find an idle site to harvest and store the chamomile from her Portable Field.
The scent of the chamomile was somewhat strange; whether one liked or disliked it varied from person to person.
Having experience from previous sales, Shen Yao planned to sell this batch of chamomile to a pharmacy, because chamomile made into medicine powder was more expensive.
"But self-production and self-sales are still the most cost-effective," yet she currently had no capital and could not get it started.
After staying in the suburbs for a while, Shen Yao left with her already wilted Spirit Body.
Tap—
Turning on the lighting, she brightened the pitch-black hall; Shen Yao's house, left alone for several months since she left for school, was still clean and tidy.
Dinner was eaten outside, and she also bought some daily necessities along the way.
Yawning casually, Shen Yao sat down on the living room sofa and turned on the television.
"... According to the Federal Government's announcement,... a giant beast tide and natural disaster have appeared, the planet passage has been forced to close, and the emergency plan is being activated..."
Shen Yao glanced at the semi-transparent screen; the beautiful and capable anchor was reading the manuscript in hand, with various terrifying giant beasts displayed behind her.
Shen Yao's expression turned serious, because the planet that had made the news was exactly the place they had just left.
"Host, host, I think I know why the Exploration Planet had trouble!" the system said mysteriously.
"You know?" When they were at the Exploration Planet before, the system had been completely clueless.
The system made an affirmative sound: "There is a thief who stole the World Core of the Exploration Planet."
Afraid the host would not understand the setting, the system explained: "The reason every planet here can operate normally is because they possess a World Core."
The World Core is also the core, the key to a planet's operation; without it, the entire planet would lose its vitality and be forced toward death and destruction.
The World Core is equivalent to a planet's heart, a very important thing.
Following the system's line of explanation, Shen Yao touched her chin: "What will be the fate of the creatures on the planet after losing the World Core?"
The system said coldly: "Death."
Perishing along with the planet, unless they could escape before destruction or find the planet's World Core and retrieve it.
"Was it humans who stole the planet's World Core? Those beast tides are methods the planet stirred up, with the purpose of finding its own lost World Core."
Shen Yao's original speculation was that the planet was taking revenge, but regardless of what was stirred up, these were methods that appeared because the World Core was lost.
Recalling the situation when she was at the Exploration Planet, she shook her head: "What was the result?"
The system pursed its lips: "The Federal Government stepped in, retrieved the lost World Core, and at the same time gave a warning to the person who stole the World Core."
Shen Yao was surprised: "Just a warning?"
The Federal Government was by no means a kind organization; it had always been famous throughout the interstellar realm for its iron-blooded methods.
"Someone is protecting her, and besides, this Exploration Planet originally had no value at all." The World Core had been found again, so a major matter was reduced to a minor one, and a minor matter was settled.
Even if this matter made the news, it was only a report concerning L98 Planet; how large is the entire N62 Star System? This matter was about as significant as a sesame seed or mung bean.
Shen Yao:...
She had still overestimated her own survival environment too highly.
However, someone was protecting her; "she?" was a girl.
Suddenly feeling a sense of enlightenment, Shen Yao raised her eyebrows: "Related to that mecha from back then?"
It was just that the two of them rested at night and were forced to change places temporarily out of necessity.
"It was them," the system gave the host an affirmative answer, and by the way complained about what it found unreasonable: "Clearly the character setting is very ordinary, yet her own luck is heaven-defying; she can encounter, pick up, or bump into anything."
Even the trouble your roommates encountered while fleeing for their lives was indirectly caused by her.
"It's as if this person has a kind of pheromone that strongly attracts people from the Mecha Department."
The more Shen Yao listened, the more confused she became, and she asked the system to organize its language well and repeat the explanation.
The world they were in did not have a pheromone setting, unless that girl had a special identity.
What did special identity mean?
The simplest possibility was that she was just like them, not a native of this world.
"Transmigration? Rebirth?" The system spat out terms commonly found in novels.
"Both are possible; she can attract so many people, so she definitely has secrets we don't know."
Just being able to make a mecha single soldier she had barely met fight a beast tide for her—ordinary people couldn't do that.
"This person is no longer at the L-system Planet; she has been taken to the N-system Planet," more precisely, to N25 Planet, the home planet of that spaceship which had to stop due to lack of energy.
You should know that N-system Planets are all located at the core position of the N62 Star System. Whether in resources or technological development, they are far ahead of other planets.
"The distance is far; can we still investigate?" Shen Yao placed her hopes on the system.
The system remained silent on this, finally muttering softly that it temporarily wouldn't work.
N-system Planet: the higher the rank, the more tyrannical; it feared exposure to the Host would bring trouble.
"Forget it; it doesn't affect us, no need to pay too much attention to her."
The two were not on the same route; clearly that person was taking the Team Pet / Mary Sue script, while their own Host was merely an Ordinary Person who loved Farming—no need.
Shen Yao snorted at this, "Remember to check the Spiritual Energy situation of L-system Planet."
Not going to Bengci the N System means the L-system Base Camp definitely cannot be lost.
Shen Yao raised her hand to tap open her Wristband, finding one of the avatars' Chat Window.
Hmm, show some concern? After all, they were Acquaintances.
Xu Zi Qing, resting inside the Spaceship space, was stunned when he received Shen Yao's message.
Xu Zi Qing had some Impression of this girl who had saved his life (?).
Replying with a sentence "Everything's fine," Xu Zi Qing furrowed his brow tighter and looked toward the Door.
From outside the Door came the sound of people talking at just the right moment; one could tell it was a man and a woman, seemingly quarreling, then soon coaxed softly.
Xu Zi Qing:...
Xu Zi Qing furrowed his brow even tighter, even his gaze carrying Yan Wu.
He didn't understand; clearly they were out on a Mission, so why bring back an unfamiliar girl?
Even if this cousin of his, a Genius/Talent since childhood, used Life-saving Grace to perfunctorily explain, it still couldn't stop Xu Zi Qing's questioning.
As for why Xu Zi Qing finally didn't interfere but chose to go along with them, one must start from those Mecha single soldiers who unexpectedly defected directly.
"Then let's see what charm this person has," to make the Arrogant Genius, who always looked down on everyone, lower his head and bow down.
