From the Stars to the Cultivation Realm with a Scanner

At twenty-one, Sui An started working as a dust cleaner on Mist Star. In less than a year, she had worn out seven scanners. Some people said she brought misfortune to her parents and even to machines, and that she'd bring misfortune to her husband too. In this interstellar age, people still believed such nonsense! Sui An thought it was ridiculous. She was only a little worried that if she broke this eighth scanner, the company might find an excuse to fire her. She didn't want to lose this job just yet, not with her graduate school tuition still to pay!

What she didn't know was that while rumors said she brought bad luck to machines, people were also whispering that the scanner called Winter Melon F88 brought bad luck to people. Of the seven people who had taken it on missions, some had fallen ill and others had fallen from the sky. None had died, but the less seriously injured had to spend at least two hours in a treatment pod, while the more badly injured needed to be hospitalized for over a month, at considerable expense.

The rumors were so bizarre that they made people sound stupid. To avoid becoming a laughingstock among other companies, people only talked about them in secret.

The two supervisors responsible for assigning equipment and personnel at the dust-cleaning center exchanged a glance. The same thought occurred to both of them at once.

Sui An didn't know that one day, Winter Melon F88 would not only save her life, but also take her to another world. Together, they would embark on a life entirely different from the one she knew: cultivating immortality, solving mysteries, restoring their sect to glory, and... working hard to make money!

Of course, Sui An wasn't the only one whose life and path were changed. But to one another, they were merely passersby in their respective lives, with no real importance.

“Not important? I'm not important either?”

“Of course you are!”

“Heh!”
