Chapter 1: First Arrival in the Interstellar

Hot, so hot.

Ruan Mian's consciousness was still somewhat hazy; everything was acting on instinct.

She struggled to resist the chaotic spirit, but just as her eyelids lifted a crack, she only had time to see a night sky filled with stars before her vision was blocked by an enlarged silhouette.

The person covering her was a man.

She could not see his face clearly because his kisses were hot and urgent; Ruan Mian only saw a pair of eyes stained with lust.

And the faint, cold scent of cedar filling her nasal cavity.

The man's kisses lingered and ground against her lips, then slowly moved downward; she only felt a chill on her chest, which was quickly covered by a series of fine, warm kisses.

Her hands wanted to move, wanted to cover herself, but her body felt as heavy as a thousand catties and could not move at all, and her head had also become heavy.

That's right, she had been bitten by a mutated zombie, and to avoid turning into a zombie, she had jumped off a high building; all her bones had broken, and her body had become a puddle of mush.

Is this a beautiful dream before death?

Could it be that her resentment as a ten-thousand-year single woman is so heavy? That the dreams she has before dying are all erotic dreams?

Since that is the case, then she might as well finish this beautiful dream properly.

Besides, this dream is not bad; the man's lust-filled eyes are truly good-looking, she likes men with good-looking eyes, and the scent on him is clear and pleasant, which is infinitely better than the rotten, foul stench of those zombies.

Having figured it out, Ruan Mian completely relaxed.

When Ruan Mian regained consciousness and opened her eyes again, she moved her arms slightly, only to feel her whole body sore and weak, as if she had been run over by a large truck.

She suddenly realized that she was still alive!

Her gaze swept across the surroundings; countless things were piled up everywhere, and except for the smell not being as heavy, this place was more like a garbage dump.

What is going on?

Didn't she get bitten by a zombie and then jump off a building to her death?

Suddenly, a dull pain struck her brain, and a large amount of memories that did not belong to her surged toward her.

After a long while, she finally finished absorbing all the memories.

She had been reborn, transmigrated, from the wasteland of the apocalypse to the technologically advanced Interstellar world.

And she was a pathetic, useless wretch whom neither father nor mother loved.

In the current Interstellar world, everyone awakens Mental Power at the age of eighteen.

Mental Power is crucial; any decent, respectable profession is linked to Mental Power.

Those with high Mental Power can pilot Mecha, become a member of a Mecha squad, fight against the Zerg, and become heroes.

Even though the Interstellar is dominated by technology, everyone still worships strength and worships the strong.

As for those low-level jobs, they are almost all filled by various Androids.

At least two-thirds of the people in the Interstellar world are Androids.

Because since a baby was born ten years ago, the Interstellar has not seen the birth of any more children, and there are no more pregnant women.

Experts predict that perhaps in ten thousand years, humanity will be completely extinct.

And the body that Ruan Mian transmigrated into had tested her Mental Power on her eighteenth birthday, and the result was that she had zero Mental Power.

She was a complete and utter failure.

And in front of her selfish parents, amidst the increasingly tight resources of today, they would not waste resources to raise another child.

Especially a failure, a failure who could not bring them any benefit.

Therefore, on the second day after she came of age, they kicked her out of the house, under the pretext that she was an adult and should live independently.

But after she came out, she couldn't find a job at all; high-income jobs were impossible because she had no Mental Power, and low-income jobs were even more impossible.

Because there were simple, easy-to-use, and cheap Androids.

So the original owner had no source of income at all; at first, she rented a room for herself, but after being kicked out by the landlord for not being able to pay the rent, she started to become a wanderer.

Relying on picking up trash to survive.

Ruan Mian grabbed her hair in some frustration; she had thought there were no zombies here, but there was still a danger to her life!

Last night, she was in the garbage dump, being...

She really regretted it to death; last night she should have given that lecher a hard stab—for someone who had struggled in the apocalypse, nothing mattered except death.

It was just a pity that she didn't teach him a lesson and ended up suffering a loss herself.

But fortunately, women in this world cannot get pregnant, which made her feel much more at ease.

"Gurgle—"

Her stomach also chose this moment to start singing an empty-city song.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck; she pushed aside the metal trash in front of her, revealing the bottom-most layer. Fortunately, she was at the edge of the garbage dump at the moment, otherwise, she might not have been able to reach the bottom layer even if she scratched her hands until they bled.

A layer of pitch-black soil that faintly shimmered with specks of silver was revealed.

As expected of the Interstellar, even the mud is so punk.

She didn't know if it would work, but she had to try!

She calmed her mind and placed her hands over it.

With a push of effort.

Her hands erupted with a strong green fluorescent light.

Then, a green plant quickly took root and sprouted, shooting out green leaves, growing taller and taller, bearing pale flower buds; the buds grew rapidly, bloomed, and then fell off, revealing small, greenish fruits. The fruits grew larger and larger as if they were being inflated, turning redder and redder.

In the blink of an eye, a large, red tomato had grown.

Not until it was fully ripe and exuding the scent of a mature fruit did Ruan Mian stop.

Fortunately, fortunately, her ability had followed her to this world.

Fortunately, fortunately, she could fill her stomach.

She couldn't wait to pick this big tomato and took a bite; the abundant juice instantly filled her mouth, relieving the dryness of her throat and making her stomach feel much better.

As she ate, she recalled the original owner's memories in her mind to understand the world she was currently in.

Suddenly, she realized one thing: the Interstellar world seemed to have no plants!

In the original owner's memories, they all consumed Nutrient Solution, all greenery was holographic projection, and plants had already gone extinct thousands of years ago.

Humanity had been relying on technology to survive.

Perhaps one day, humanity would all go extinct as well.

Viciously taking another big bite of the tomato, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart; she had wanted to use her Plant Ability to fill her stomach while also earning some money to improve her life!

Looking back at the endless mountain of trash, was she really going to inherit the original owner's grand undertaking and make a living by picking up trash?

No way!

Giving in easily without even trying was not her personality.

The best plan for now was to go back and prepare, then see what could be done!

Standing up, she swept her palm over the tomato vine; the next second, the tomato vine seemed as if all its life force had been drained, rapidly turning yellow and withering until it became a completely dead vine.

Ruan Mian, who had walked away, did not notice that after she left, a spaceship landed steadily in the spot where she had just woken up.

A handsome man with a powerful aura stepped down from the spaceship, his deep eyes scanning the area, but he did not find what he was looking for, and for a moment, he frowned in irritation.

Suddenly, his gaze paused.

Locking on with his Mental Power, he moved that entire patch of land directly in front of him, his cold expression showing a hint of excitement.

Although it was withered and dead, this was a plant specimen!!!
