Cutting-Edge Tech on the Road to Stardom

#Have you returned to the stars today?# #Another day without returning to the stars, huh?#

Pei Xiao, a brilliant interstellar researcher, paid no attention to the world around her. All she wanted was to do research. She never cared about the power struggles between the stars or the Federation's politics and people's livelihoods.

Until one day, she opened her eyes and discovered she had become an idle rich young lady in the Flower Kingdom.

This was a poor, backward planet. As a penniless girl with no car (spaceship), no house (floating island), and no savings (planet), Pei Xiao rolled up her sleeves and started tinkering, determined to make her way back to the stars. She still had a throne of technology waiting for her to inherit.

Pei Xiao: If I can't get back, I'll create my own interstellar federation. /smile

Chi Yue, a divine sword struck by lightning and sent back to before Liberation, somehow wound up in a place with an enormous wealth gap.

Fortunately, while the environment was a little rough, the policies were excellent and the subsidies generous. After working as a dockhand for a while, she managed to land a spot through special recruitment.

On the day she arrived at school, she listened to her teacher's warm words about home and ate bowl after bowl of unlimited rice porridge in the cafeteria. Tears of excitement streamed down her face.

The people here are so nice! Chi Yue, who had grown up surrounded by countless mineral ores, spirit plants, and other resources, loved them so much!

Chi Yue, who was good at nothing but fighting and eating, began her boundless journey of growth.

Chi Yue's eyes lit up. "Metal? You can eat that!"

Noticing the looks everyone was giving her, her friends waved their hands in a panic. "N-no, that's an energy bar!"

Chi Yue wiped her mouth. "Zerg? Crunchy!"

Her friends hurried to cover for her. "Cake, it's cake! Specially made."

"A mecha?!" Chi Yue raised her hand. "I can eat that too!"

"No, no! If you eat that, you'll be the one sent inside." Her friends hastily stopped her, then took a closer look. "Oh, it's an enemy mecha... Quick, take a couple bites while no one's looking!"

Later, a mysterious squad graduated with an S rating on every military assignment, rising from the famed base for third-rate rejects of the logistics department.
