Humans had always been a race with overly powerful ambition and selfish desires. After settling peacefully in this sea of stars, they gradually grew stronger, and a war broke out that caused the Anvile People great suffering—a war to seize the princesses of the Anweier Royal Family.
Everyone wanted an exceptionally gifted heir, and so this sea of stars entered a long period of chaos.
The Anweier Star System had once closed the Star Domain Gate leading to Anweier, solely to live a life free from conflict with the outside world.
This period of history was later blocked by the Central Brain. Without sufficient clearance, it was impossible to see its true face.
It was considered a return of peace to the Anvile People, one that lasted for a very long time. Until fifteen years ago, when turmoil rose again.
Jing Xi, the current Grand Princess of Anweier, had gone out according to custom to oversee and repair the Star Domain Gate at the Alliance border. She encountered danger and was saved by a passing human warrior. After becoming acquainted, the two fought side by side on the Alliance front lines.
They were comrades who had shared hardship, family, and friends. They admired each other, and their relationship naturally followed.
Afterward, the Anweier Royal Family stripped her of the title of Eldest Princess. Thus, Anweier now had only two princesses, while the Eldest Princess had vanished without a trace.
Anweier's story deeply shocked Jiujiu. This race was kind-hearted and broad-minded; they treated all living beings equally.
Their gifts were more than enough to wipe out humanity directly or drive them from this star domain, yet they did not. They joined humans and other races in safeguarding the Jingsu Alliance.
After hearing Wei Lanshan describe them this way, Jiujiu developed an inexplicable fondness for the race.
What should she do? She really wanted to meet an Anvile Person. Such an incredible cheat ability—she was so envious.
Wei Lanshan watched her conflicted expression, having no idea what was going through that little head of hers.
"What are you thinking about?"
"The Anvile People. They're a powerful and broad-minded race. I really like them."
"Yes. They are a species worthy of respect. There are many races like them in the interstellar world. You'll see them all someday."
Though this world was complicated and dangerous, and strength reigned supreme, it was also full of legends.
She liked this world very much.
She had already died in her original world. She had been alone to begin with, and her only legal relative was someone who had never cared about her.
She thought to herself that there was truly no way to trace where she had come from. She could only wait until she became stronger, then try searching to see whether this universe held any traces of that star system.
Wei Lanshan planned to remain in Anweier for one star day. She still had several usable IDs left from those she had bought before, so there should not be any problems for the time being when traveling from here to the Mingzhao Star System.
The Star Shuttle to Mingzhao would not depart until the next day, so she and Jiujiu had no choice but to stay here for the night.
At the hotel, she connected to the Star Net and checked some information about the Tianning Star System.
She learned that Tang Yongyu had taken Ye Zhenwei to Capital Star Gaia, while Ye Yunhan had returned from the front lines to the Ye Family on Tianning Star, officially taking control of the family.
Wei Lanshan anonymously visited the mercenary website where the bounty had been posted. The bounty on her and Jiujiu had already been pushed down to the middle of the listings.
Four mercenary groups had accepted the job. Aside from Snow Dragon, the other three were all notorious mercenary groups known for their ruthlessness. Their trip to the Mingzhao Star System would likely be fraught with danger.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Lanshan opened the virtual space. She intended to buy some things for self-defense and equip Jiujiu with some as well.
After placing her order and setting her location, the stores on the Virtual Network would use Space Transmission Technology to deliver her purchases within two hours.
Wei Lanshan gave Jiujiu two boxes of Nutrient Paste, then buried herself in work.
Jiujiu watched quietly from the side. A black hole had suddenly appeared in their room, and all kinds of items kept emerging from it out of thin air. It had frightened her so badly that she nearly dropped the Nutrient Paste in her hand.
"This is the latest Space Transmission Technology. No matter where you are, anything bought on the Star Net can be delivered within two hours."
Wow, this was really, really, really amazing.
"Can it transport living things?"
"Not yet. The cost is too high. These channels are only established temporarily and disappear after use. The human body is too complex. Unless it is placed inside a box made of special materials, if it came through, it would probably end up as a lump of flesh and blood."
Wei Lanshan truly deserved to be the Alliance Chief. Not only were her medical skills superb, but her practical ability also far exceeded Jiujiu's expectations.
She dismantled some of the ordinary devices she had bought, then recombined them with parts removed from other devices, turning them into new weapons with greater destructive power.
Wei Lanshan was full of mysteries. Her physical ability was off the charts, her Martial Skills were formidable, she held doctorates in biology and medicine, and she even knew how to modify weapons.
Wu Yuan handed tools to Wei Lanshan from the side. Its current form was much more pleasing to the eye—a normal household robot. Jiujiu's relationship with it had eased somewhat lately.
Wu Yuan had also changed its opinion of Jiujiu because she had completed level twenty gravity training aboard the Star Shuttle.
Throughout it all, Jiujiu had neither complained nor cried out in exhaustion. Whenever she completed a level, she was happy, but never arrogant.
As a robot that appreciated children eager to improve, Wu Yuan felt that Jiujiu resembled Lord Lan in some ways.
She had endured countless hardships in childhood, yet possessed a resilient character. She knew her own shortcomings and was willing to work hard, so it began treating Jiujiu more pleasantly as well.
Judging from how skillfully Wei Lanshan modified the equipment, Jiujiu could tell that she did this often. Jiujiu believed she could still tell whether someone was familiar with something.
What kind of life had she lived?
Jiujiu figured she would never be able to find out. This woman was a mystery.
Wei Lanshan spent three hours modifying seven types of weapons, three of which were for Jiujiu. Wei Lanshan taught her how to use them.
Jiujiu memorized everything carefully and practiced with them several times. After Wei Lanshan's modifications, Jiujiu could lift them without effort. They suited her age and height.
Jiujiu had been improving rapidly lately. She could already use her Mental Power with great proficiency and restrain it well. It no longer ran wild while she slept and allowed others to detect it.
Jiujiu pressed her little lips tightly together. She was deeply shaken now—Wei Lanshan refreshed her understanding every single day.
"Don't overthink it. You'll learn many things as time goes on."
Although not everyone in the interstellar age could pilot warships or mechs, everyone learned basic weapon assembly and common knowledge. Schools began teaching these things as soon as students enrolled.
They had to ensure that, when war suddenly descended, everyone could fight. The price paid that time had been far too great...
Both of them rested well that night. When the sun of Anvile Star shone upon the land, Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu left the beautiful planet.
Jiujiu bid the planet farewell in her heart. She thought that, if she ever had the chance, she would definitely return to this beautiful place—the legendary Anvile People.
Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu boarded the Sky Rail again. As they left Anvile Star's detection range, the flying car they were riding in encountered a small combat flying car.
The moment she noticed the inconspicuous insignia on it, Wei Lanshan became alert.
As they got out of the flying car, Wei Lanshan gripped Jiujiu's hand tightly and spread out her Mental Power. "Jiujiu, stay close to me in a moment. If someone stops us, use your weapon according to my hand signals."
Jiujiu nodded to show that she understood. She was actually very nervous. She did not want the game to end so soon, so she heightened her focus to the utmost.
