All-Round Starfighter

Jiang Xian never expected that transmigrating would land him in a disastrous situation from the start. His original body's life was not only poor and difficult, but he had also achieved nothing in over a decade, surviving entirely by scavenging through trash.

Jiang Xian: "..."

No matter. As a former top-tier algorithm engineer, learning is what Jiang Xian does best.

You can only choose one department? More study means more money, so sign up for two!

The materials-crafting minor is brutally difficult, but it pays? I'll study it!

The hacker side job is easy to get into, and it pays? I'll do it!

On Jiang Xian's first day at the academy, the halls are full of laughter. Everyone thinks they've got a clueless freshman who doesn't know his own limits.

One week after Jiang Xian enrolls, the hottest topic at the academy is whether Jiang Xian studied himself into the medical pod today.

A month after he enrolls, at a competition that determines the academy's honors, everyone watches in stunned silence as Jiang Xian controls a mecha and tears through the competition.

Wasn't he supposed to be a bookworm? How is he so good at combat too?

-

A few months later, Jiang Xian leads a team into the league, and almost everyone in the galaxy doubts them. Arrogance, prejudice, and insults weigh on them until even the principal can barely breathe.

Then the "trash" they mocked dominates every event, tramples the so-called geniuses underfoot, and the undefeated champion herself just smiles at the camera:

"Geniuses... aren't all that impressive."

>>>Here's an upcoming novel: "After Awakening Infinite Powers, the Marginalized Become..."

Different [Associations] grant people different kinds of superpowers,

allowing ordinary people to advance into [Superhumans].

But everyone can only choose one association. Otherwise, conflicting powers will cause their bodies to explode. This is known as "power incompatibility."

This is common knowledge.

Until one livestream, Shan Yue, a soon-to-be cannon-fodder character from a low-level "Water Control Association," has only an F-rank water power, weaker than a mouthful of spit. Yet in a moment of danger, she creates a black hole with her bare hands.

In an instant, everything within ten li loses its color. A deep, spherical void surrounded by a blinding halo devours the sky and earth, seemingly ready to suck everything in and grind it to dust.

Everyone watching the livestream is left open-mouthed, their mouths shaped like Type-C ports.

After a second of silence, the livestream chat erupts with an unprecedented barrage of comments, and the entire city is set ablaze:

"WTF! Water and spatial powers appeared in the same loser?"

"A black hole? Isn't that the long-lost S-rank power of a top-tier association?"

"Did she really come from the slums?"

The buzz grows with each wave. Shan Yue becomes famous overnight, and all eyes turn to her. The various associations shamelessly compete to recruit her, while clickbait bloggers work through the night, speculating about why Shan Yue hasn't suffered from "power incompatibility" and guessing when she'll die.

High-ranking superhumans begin to take an interest in her. Beneath the surface of her seemingly ordinary life, undercurrents are stirring.

Yet Shan Yue acts as if nothing is wrong, spending every day engrossed in her neural interface, oblivious to the world around her.

Everyone says she's gone crazy.

Curiosity finally gets the better of one of her teammates, who seizes an opportunity to peek at her neural interface.

It is covered from edge to edge with densely packed text!

And in the upper right corner, a watermark clearly reads:

"A Feasibility Study on 'Non-Incompatible Powers'"

Chapter 5: Hypothesis: After Absorbing Five Powers from Different Sources

Her teammate closes both eyes. At last, the fear hanging over them finally comes true.

Theme: Never stop striving, and let the universe be at peace.
