Happy Graduation

The most talented Star Weaver in the universe is dead.

In the thousands of years of the interstellar era, Star Weavers, as the greatest profession, have never exceeded a hundred individuals. Yet, the most talented among them died amidst the power struggles of various factions within the Alliance.

After that, none of his descendants produced children with the talent to become Star Weaver Masters. A newly emerging family, before it could even establish itself, became infamous in the Federation's history and fell back into the abyss.

And seven hundred years later—

"Before the universe exploded, humanity had already begun to improve its genes, creating gene seeds capable of adapting to survive and grow in the cosmic environment. After tens of thousands of years, the new humans finally established a foothold in the universe, forming the Interstellar Alliance to jointly resist the alien races.

Therefore, each of you must prepare thoroughly for tomorrow's awakening test, strive to enter a good Mech school, join the army in the future, and do more meaningful work.

Finally, I wish you all a happy graduation.

Oh, and after graduation, please don't say you were my students. Thank you everyone!"

On the podium, Teacher Wu spoke with great passion, and the students below listened with surging emotions.

This was their last day at basic school. Tomorrow, after undergoing the awakening test, they would officially enter Mech school to learn how to pilot Mechs and fight alien races.

Although they usually disliked attending school, they were, after all, a group of sixteen-year-olds, and they were looking forward to awakening the most powerful Star Weave tomorrow.

Of course, there were exceptions.

The somewhat thin and tall girl with short hair sitting in the last row seemed out of place in this joyful atmosphere. She was idly playing with a lock of hair on her forehead, a stark contrast to the excitement and anticipation of others.

This was Zhou Yi's 365th day since transmigrating into this world. Counting it, she had already been studying in this world for a year.

Zhou Yi had been a little unaccustomed to it when she first arrived. Indeed, no matter how many transmigration novels she had read, who would have thought that her first transmigration would land her as an alien?

But fortunately, Zhou Yi was an old young woman of 27. Her parents had passed away early, she was frail and often ill, with no car, no house, no savings, and completely free of any attachments.

Although she had transmigrated off Earth now, she had transmigrated into a fifteen-year-old girl with the same name as herself. She was healthy, her parents were alive, so by any measure, she had come out ahead.

Therefore, on the third day of arriving in this world, Zhou Yi very quickly accepted reality and took over the life of the fifteen-year-old Zhou Yi.

However, the class was really boring, so Zhou Yi raised her hand again as usual.

"Zhou Yi, you may speak."

"Teacher, isn't it all about survival? What's the difference between humans and alien races?"

She wasn't trying to cause trouble; she was definitely trying to help the teacher increase classroom engagement!

The classmates were long accustomed to Zhou Yi always asking strange questions. They were all whispering to each other, discussing the awakening test tomorrow.

"Humanity's survival in the universe relies on unity and wisdom. To better adapt to the harsh cosmic environment, they even created advanced technological products like Mechs that can integrate with the human body.

Alien races are inherently brutal and lack intelligence. They seize the homes that humans have already built, slaughter humans, not only eating humans but also consuming their own kind.

If human civilization is passed down generation by generation, then alien civilization is one of complete annihilation.

This is the most fundamental difference between us and them."

The usually unreliable teacher suddenly became serious, his gaze sharp.

After school, "Zhou Yi, why did you ask the teacher that question today?"

Qin An trailed around Zhou Yi like a little follower.

Although he was only sixteen, Qin An's nearly 1.8-meter height, when he poked his head out, completely blocked Zhou Yi's path.

Zhou Yi slapped Qin An's head away.

"Kids shouldn't ask about adult matters. Walk properly."

Zhou Yi had been here for a year and knew very little about alien races. Some things couldn't be found on the star brain.

"Oh." Qin An pouted but still obediently responded.

"Tomorrow is the awakening test. Everyone on our D71 Star Block who is sixteen years old can go and test their Star Weave. I'm so excited I don't think I can sleep tonight, which will affect my performance tomorrow!"

Qin An continued to chatter.

"Affect your performance? Star Weaves are your innate talent. They have nothing to do with your performance. Don't worry, even if you sleep for twelve hours, you'll still be a star or a little star tomorrow."

The Star Weave is located at the back of the neck and generally has three patterns. Humans classify these three patterns as the sun, moon, and stars.

Among them, the sun is the highest, followed by the moon, and then the stars, which are the lowest.

Furthermore, they are divided into five grades: S/A/B/C/D, based on the level of Star Power.

The Star Weave pattern cannot be changed, but its grade can be improved.

Children with higher talent will increase their Star Power faster and reach higher grades, enabling them to control more advanced Mechs.

The sixteen-year-old boys and girls are divided into different ranks and enter different Mech schools to study. After three years of graduation, their future—whether they can enter the army to serve the Alliance and gain supreme honor, or return to their Star Block to live a mediocre life—depends on their own destiny.

"You spit, you spit, you spit! You're the star! I'm guaranteed to be a sun!"

Qin An immediately got upset and chased Zhou Yi, wanting to hit her.

"Zhou Yi, aren't you scared at all?" While playing, Qin An couldn't help but ask again.

Every student in the class was both excited and scared, but Zhou Yi's face showed no trace of emotion regarding tomorrow's awakening test.

That was a Star Weave, after all.

Whether her Star Power would reach a certain level in the future, what kind of Mech she could pilot, and if she could join the Alliance army all depended on tomorrow's results.

"I'm not scared."

Zhou Yi's hand touched the back of his neck, the location of the Star Weave for all awakened individuals.

There was no need to wait until tomorrow; she already had her own results.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"

Although Zhou Yi's home was on a D-class Star Block, the lowest level in the universe, her home was very happy.

This was also the biggest reason why Zhou Yi could adapt so quickly after transmigrating here.

Both of Zhou Yi's parents had awakened the lowest-level Star talent. After graduating from Mech school, their Star Power was only D-class, so they weren't qualified to join the army. They found jobs near their home.

And at this very moment, they were already waiting at the dinner table for their precious daughter to come home.

"Xiao Yi is back! Hurry and wash your hands to eat. Look what delicious food Mom made for you."

Zhou Yi washed her hands and sat down at the table. In front of her were three dishes and one soup. Although they were all dark, they exuded different aromas.

"Fried dried insects, stir-fried dried insects, dry-fried dried insects, and rich dried insect soup."

Zhou Yi's father introduced each dish one by one.

It should be known that most people nowadays ate various flavors of nutrient solution every day. Being able to eat dried insects was already a sign of a comfortable life.

This was also what Zhou Yi's parents had reluctantly bought to celebrate their daughter's graduation.

Few Star Blocks in the universe had suitable conditions for cultivation. Therefore, the King Giant Foot Insects, captured in large quantities from certain deep-sea Star Blocks, had become the only delicacy for ordinary humans besides nutrient solution.

"Dad, Mom, the nutrient solution is actually very good. Don't we need to save money to move?"

Zhou Yi looked at the large table full of insects, and the four words "totally unnecessary" flashed through her mind.

This large table of dried insects wasn't cheap. If her parents ate like this with their monthly earnings, they probably couldn't afford many meals.

"Don't worry about moving, your dad and mom have it under control. You just focus on preparing for tomorrow's test and then obediently go to school,"

Zhou Yi's mother, Tang Zhen, gently stroked her daughter's head.
