Tan Qingfeng has always believed that enduring hardship is the path to rising above others.
As long as she puts in the time and effort, she's confident she can surpass 99% of people in the world.
Even after she transmigrates into a rigidly stratified interstellar society, becoming an orphan on a trash planet with only an E-grade genome, Tan Qingfeng still believes the same thing.
At worst, while other people spend six hours a day picking through trash, she'll do twenty. While they search a hundred meters of the dump, she'll search a whole kilometer!
Just as she charges into the landfill, determined to push herself to the limit as long as it doesn't kill her, a spark of starlight suddenly illuminates Tan Qingfeng's mind.
[Beep. Your golden finger has arrived.]
Tan Qingfeng's eyes light up.
Ever since genetic testing technology emerged, babies in the interstellar era have been assigned one of six grades, from E to S, while still in the womb. This directly determines their future.
Those with high aptitude are guaranteed a comfortable life and a bright future, while those with low aptitude are simply dumped on trash planets to fend for themselves.
This is described as the scientific distribution of social resources.
Then one day, many years later, the Federation's top military academy suddenly accepts a group of students receiving financial aid.
The weakest among them are said to have only E-grade physiques, and most have never even logged on to the StarNet.
With all eyes on her, Tan Qingfeng climbs into a mecha for the first time, only to take one step and immediately faceplant.
The students erupt in laughter.
"What a country bumpkin. She can't even walk."
"E-grade physique? Her cerebellum probably never developed properly. Is she deformed?"
"Holy crap, she's still walking. There she goes, falling again!"
"I wonder how many times she'll fall before she starts crying."
Then they watch Tan Qingfeng fall a hundred times, two hundred times... and gradually stop laughing.
Because the next morning, after falling a full thousand times, Tan Qingfeng pilots her mecha and executes a beautiful spinning kick right in front of them.
Graceful and nimble, even more textbook-perfect than the textbook.
Later on,
Tan Qingfeng becomes the top student in the Federation Military Academy's combat program.
Tan Qingfeng wins the 32nd StarNet Mecha Championship.
Tan Qingfeng tops the frontline reserve forces' potential rankings.
The entire Federation is driven mad: How can someone with an E-grade physique pilot a mecha as effortlessly as eating and drinking?
How can she keep pulling off moves that push the limits of the human body?!
Tan Qingfeng: Because I've pushed past my limits millions of times already. :)
[Golden Finger: Heaven rewards diligence. By completing a required number of practice repetitions, you can turn any action into a bodily instinct.]
"Effort brings rewards, and hard work brings victory. What could be better than that?"
"I can fall a thousand times, but there will never be a thousand and first."
Everything may be adjusted before the story begins~
