A Janitor? No, a Grand Marshal!

Star-hunting ace astronaut trainee Lie Xing died in an aviation test accident, leaving no remains.

When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to the era of interstellar war.

Silicon-based life forms had ascended into machines and invaded Earth. Red Spider people controlled space monsters, launching repeated surprise attacks in hopes of getting a share of the spoils.

Humanity had formed a space fleet to resist the extraterrestrial invaders, but the artificial intelligence they relied on was restless beneath its calm exterior.

And Lie Xing was neither one of the military's best nor a superpowered alien. She wasn't even an ordinary human citizen. She was a convicted cleaner on a planetary ring.

Cleaners spent their days alongside garbage beneath the ring, never seeing the sun. Their work was fraught with danger, and one wrong move could get them killed by a space monster.

Worse still, Lie Xing was classified as a worthless object and was about to be disposed of as harmless waste.

Lie Xing: I want to live!

To avoid dying, coming back to life, and then dying again, Lie Xing applied to join the fleet fighting the enemy and became a battleship cleaner.

Her work moved to the deep-space battlefield, where the danger level was even higher.

Space monsters, highly radioactive mech wreckage, mental contamination left by the Red Spider people, mutated crewmates...

Even the entire crew shunned her, a criminal, and mocked her for smelling like garbage.

Until the fleet was ambushed by space monsters during an interstellar jump and suffered heavy losses.

The impact hurled Lie Xing straight from the bottom of the starship into the control room.

Looking at the injured and dead crewmates, the valiant captain, and the arrogant monsters...

Lie Xing put on her spacesuit and charged into the drop pod.

Crewmate: "What are you going to do, a cleaner? Abandon ship and run away?"

Lie Xing: "Drop into enemy territory and capture their leader."

Crewmates: ??? The battleship couldn't even break through the enemy lines. How could a cleaner get in there?

Just as everyone thought she would die without leaving a body behind,

Former Air Force captain, ace astronaut trainee, Lie Xing: You think she spent all those years at the military academy for nothing?

Lie Xing surged through space like a sharp arrow, slicing through the enemy fleet and destroying their heavy warships.

Captain: ?

Crewmates: ??

Enemy: ???

Lie Xing shouted, "What are you standing around for? Cover me with the fleet's cannons! Next target: the enemy mothership!"

A nonofficial ranking of space monster kills circulated across the StarNet.

One day, during a live broadcast of an E-rank planet's hunting grounds, the monsters suddenly went berserk and evolved to S-rank. The contestants were caught off guard, and many were killed or injured.

Just as everyone thought the entire hunting ground was doomed,

a hunter from a desolate planet flashed by like a shooting star and smashed the head of an S-rank monster with one punch.

The host hurried over to the hunter from the desolate planet. "Your monster-hunting rank must be S, right?"

The fully covered hunter from the desolate planet: "Monster-hunting rank?"

"Oh, E."

She vanished in a flash, leaving the livestream audience to flood the screen with messages:

There's no way someone this strong is only E-rank!

After that, this hunter from the desolate planet tore through the rankings, shared 108 ways to kill monsters in an instant, and appeared and disappeared without a trace as she carried out rescues.

The hunters of the desolate planets achieved one victory after another, relying on this powerhouse.

Then, one day, the powerhouse disappeared from the rankings, causing an enormous uproar.

Just when rumors were running wild, the powerhouse appeared again, this time with only one message:

Form a squad. Target: the space monsters' nest.

Humanity's forces kept retreating across the battlefield, until a paratrooper appeared out of nowhere, using an exoskeleton combat suit to drop into enemy territory and win through surprise attacks.

Thus began the age of paratroopers, and the tide of war turned in an instant.

The legend who ushered in an era of victory was an elite of the Federation's military, securing humanity a foothold in the Galactic Empire. Honored as the Star of Humanity, she struck fear across the galaxy.

Reporter: "Marshal, how did you train to fight like that?"

Lie Xing glanced at the KPI results on her communicator and said, "Nothing special. Practice makes perfect. After all, those enemies are just oversized pieces of garbage."
