Chapter 284: Chapter 282: Fell on the way!
*******
The scorching sunlight.
Within the ruins of broken walls and shattered buildings, a small, snow-white mouse curled up in a dark corner, eyes wide open and black as pitch, vigilantly scanning its surroundings.
Suddenly, it moved.
Climbing up the dilapidated structure, it finally perched atop the highest piece of rubble, looking out into the distance—an endless expanse of garbage and ruins!
“I’m sorry, Host, in order to break away from the Main System, Xiaomei expended too much energy and now we can’t return to Earth.”
“We now depend on each other for survival, so there’s no need to apologize. Where are we at the moment?”
“Between the Beast World and Earth World, on a Star World.”
“Stranded halfway then, huh.”
“Yes. Xiaomei has scanned some data from this garbage wasteland and sent it to the Host. Without the support of the Main System, my scanning range is very limited.”
“It’s alright, Xiaomei, you’ve done an amazing job already. Have you figured out how many years we’ve traveled back in time?”
“10,000 years.”
“10,000 years… Do we have to wait that long to go back? I don’t even know if I’ll live to see that day.”
“The Host’s lifespan is now equal to that of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.”
“What?!”
“The companion mark left by the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox on the Host effectively shares its lifespan with you.”
“…How could such an important matter go unmentioned by him!”
“Live at ease, Host. As for those Beast Husbands, just wait for their rebirth. Currently, any slight change could alter their fate and existence since you cannot return.”
“Will there still be the Offspring System, the Holy War?”
“This reversal of time only aimed to eliminate the source of the Insect Beasts and repair the wormholes to ensure future calamities would not occur. Other processes will not change. The Offspring System has already been created at this point in time, and the Holy War already exists.”
“But I haven’t killed the ‘me’ on Earth, does that mean there will be another ‘me’ bound to the Offspring System? Ark System No. 002, won’t the System try to erase your existence?”
“Yes. For the Offspring System, I am an obsolete item that must be eliminated.”
“So what do we do?”
“Take her place.”
“Hmm.”
“This is a risky venture through time, Xiaomei wishes the Host good luck.”
“It’s wishing us luck.”
Her children were all sleeping in the space. No matter the circumstance, she had to ensure her own safety first.
Sally roughly browsed through the information Xiaomei had sent her.
“What a coincidence. Xiaomei, this place happens to be the advanced plane world that 009821 is from. But a thousand years ago, had the System reached this place?”
“Yes,” Xiaomei replied.
“…So, what do we do? Hide our identities?”
“The Host is currently pregnant, it is advisable to first safely deliver the offspring.”
“Is there a reward for this birth?”
“There is no reward.”
“Hmm, it would be troublesome if there were rewards.” Sally said with a smile.
The civilization of this world bears the shadow of Earth’s civilization, but it’s more advanced than the one she came from.
There are elements of high-tech culture everywhere. Magnetic hover cars, optical brain communications, virtual light screens, planetary shuttles, mechas…
And the most popular professional field right now is that of Mecha Masters, Mecha Soldiers.
Sally found this very interesting.
Xiaomei was also quite skilled at jobs that required data support.
“Xiaomei, we can survive here.”
“Yes, host, keep it up!”
“Hmm.”
A small planetary shuttle slowly descended from the sky.
It landed on the helipad of a building not far from Sally.
That building was the only relatively intact large structure in these ruins.
Sally released the System Map.
First, a black-haired boy emerged from the shuttle.
In the sunlight, his sleek fragmented hair shone with a crow’s luster, bangs on his forehead partially obscuring his brows and eyes, his pale complexion revealing a trace of sickliness, very beautiful pale pink lips. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, revealing his full face. Even having seen the otherworldly beauty of Qing Linghuan and Zi Qi, Sally could not help but be taken aback by the sight.
Then another boy with silver hair came out of the shuttle, his cold gaze sharp as a drawn dagger, intimidating one from looking directly at him.
“Blue Crystal T7, is it on Garbage Star No. 012?”
“Yes, Your Highness. The Mecha Master who was handling Blue Crystal T7 had selfish motives, so he used another discarded Mecha to replace Blue Crystal T7 as destroyed. The real Blue Crystal T7 was transported to Garbage Star No. 012 by a garbage spaceship. That garbage ship encountered an Insect Beast attack on Garbage Star No. 012, and when it was found, it was already a pile of debris, but the garbage on board had been cleaned up. The specific disposal location was not recorded in the log.”
The black-haired boy gazed into the garbage ‘ocean’, “Let’s start looking.”
After that, he transformed into a giant black Phoenix Bird and flew off into the distance.
Sally was dumbstruck, “Beastmen?!”
Xiaomei replied: “They’re something similar to Beastmen. Beastmen are beasts that turn into humans, while the variants here are humans that turn into beasts.”
Sally recalled the data she had seen, “The ruling species of this world is the Human Clan, which is divided into Variant Humans and Ordinary Humans.
Variant Humans have awakened special genes, are natural leaders with powerful physical qualities, decisiveness, and deterrence, standing at the pinnacle of the world.
Ordinary Humans are common people, generally with lower overall quality, belonging to the grassroots of the world.
Ordinary Humans are the most numerous, while Variant Humans are rare, with roughly a 100000:1 ratio. Variant Humans, in order to maintain the excellence of their genes, prohibit marriage with Ordinary Humans.
Because the offspring of Variant Humans and Ordinary Humans are 99% Ordinary Humans.”
“Yes. Both of these individuals are Variant Humans, and the Blue Crystal T7 they’re looking for is probably the Mecha you tucked away.”
Sally had just come to this place when she saw a set of blue Mechas. She liked these things, so she immediately took it.
“…But I don’t want to give it to them.”
“Host can keep it to play with, we won’t give it to them.”
“Yeah, let’s get on their shuttle and get out of here.”
“Alright, host, Xiaomei can also collect more data information.”
Sally teleported next to the planetary shuttle.
After circling the shuttle, “Xiaomei, shall we get a shuttle like this to play with, okay?”
“Host might have to figure it out on her own, Xiaomei is currently a bit… strapped.”
“Haha, you don’t need to copy one, you save your own energy. We still have to go back to Beast World in the future. I’ll find a way to earn money in this world and buy one.”
“Host, keep it up.”
“Okay.”
Sally sneaked into the shuttle to continue studying its interior structure.
Xiaomei also helped her scan and printed out the complete interior structural data into text for Sally to study.
Sally was studying when the two boys came back.
The black-haired boy was still talking, “… should arrive in about three hours.”
The silver-haired boy went straight into the shuttle and initiated the control panel.
The black-haired boy said, “To Remist Military Academy.”
