Chapter 194: Chapter 190: Interstellar Deserted Star Farm Woman 1

"Song, we are in the interstellar world now. Here, technology is highly advanced, and across the various star systems, humans are no longer the only intelligent life."

As Rongrong spoke, it had Ji Xiaosong absorb the original body’s memories.

This time, Ji Xiaosong had well and truly transmigrated to the Interstellar Era.

The Blue Star she once lived on was considered an insignificant little planet. Although humans still lived there, there weren’t many.

Due to advanced technology, the connections between planets were relatively close, but the class divisions were even more pronounced.

The interstellar world is like a giant pyramid. The top tier consists of the major families who control Cultivation Resources and residents of Federation Planets; the middle tier is made up of new humans with modified bodies; and the bottom tier is composed of miners who even have to pay for air.

The entire interstellar space was divided into the Core Ring and the Edge Zone.

The former boasts beautiful natural environments and highly comfortable technological services.

The latter was a desolate land where people boiled shaved comet ice for water and welded rusted starship hulls into slums.

The planet Ji Xiaosong was on now was very close to Blue Star; it was only a half-day’s journey by light-speed ship.

The planet she was on was called Glazed Star. The name was pleasant, but in reality, it was like a piece of worm-eaten, rotten wood stuck in a crack at the very bottom of the pyramid. A grayish-yellow smog, sustained by low-end generators, drifted over its surface.

As far back as she could remember, the original owner of this body had wandered Glazed Star alone, never knowing where her next meal would come from.

In terms of class, the original owner belonged to the lowest tier: the miners.

As the name implies, she had to earn Star Coins by mining just to get a bite to eat.

"Rongrong, the original owner’s memories are useless. Aside from getting a general idea of how this interstellar world works, there’s no important information."

Ji Xiaosong sighed. The original owner had lived at the very bottom of society, so her understanding of it was limited.

"Song, I’ll send you some more information. You can actually practice Cultivation in this world, too; the system is just different. If you’re born into a major family, many people will actually get their spiritual power tested. This determines a person’s aptitude, as well as the influence they can wield within the family."

"Spiritual power? What’s that?"

"It’s actually something very similar to your Divine Sense. Your Divine Sense can also be converted into spiritual power, so you’re basically a top-tier expert from the get-go. Spiritual power can be inherited. The original owner of this body actually had spiritual power too, but since she grew up at the bottom of society, she never had the chance to get it tested."

Rongrong then gave Ji Xiaosong a primer on the levels of spiritual power and the methods of Cultivation.

"A First-stage Spiritual Power User can sense energy fluctuations within ten meters. At the Second Order, one can briefly control small objects. The Third Rank is a watershed moment. People who reach this level can create spiritual power projections on the Star Network and even briefly alter the programs of low-level A.I. At the Fourth Rank..."

"What can the Fourth Rank do?"

Ji Xiaosong’s pupils constricted slightly, filled with excitement.

"A Fourth-rank Spiritualist is already a national treasure to the Federation. They can communicate telepathically across wormholes and, under specific conditions, even briefly reverse causality."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaosong grew even more excited.

’This is a high-level skill!’

"However, doing so invites a backlash from the laws of the universe, which is why all Spiritual Power Users at the Fourth Rank and above are strictly monitored by the Federation."

Ji Xiaosong fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about the Fifth Rank?"

"Fifth Rank? Only three Fifth-rank Spiritual Power Users have ever appeared in interstellar history. Their spiritual power could manifest into physical entities, they lived for over five hundred years, and they always held leadership positions in major wars. There are no specific records on just how terrifying they were, probably because such power has yet to be needed."

"Then what’s my spiritual power level?"

"I don’t know. The machines for testing that can only be found in specific places. The entire planet of Glazed Star doesn’t have one, because the Federation and the major families believe that a remote region like Glazed Star couldn’t possibly have any higher intelligent beings with the genes for spiritual power."

"Alright, if you don’t know, you don’t know. What about my mission target for this life?"

"Don’t be hasty, Song. First, deal with the few thugs across from you, and then we’ll find a place to rest and talk."

Ji Xiaosong collected her thoughts and then left the space.

She had expected to deal with the robbers again, but it turned out they had scattered to look for her.

When she suddenly vanished just now, the men had assumed Ji Xiaosong had run away.

Robberies like this were a common sight on Glazed Star, nothing to be surprised about, so Ji Xiaosong couldn’t be bothered to go looking for them.

The original owner had been robbed of her only nutrient pack by them, but they hadn’t taken her life.

In the end, the original owner had simply starved to death a month later.

"Rongrong, is there any unclaimed land around here? The original owner slept on the streets every day. The only reason she wasn’t assaulted was because she looked so androgynous that people mistook her for a man. I really don’t want to keep sleeping on the streets, that would be awful."

Ji Xiaosong quickly ran in a different direction from where she’d come, spreading her Divine Sense to avoid running into any more robbers.

She could win in a direct confrontation, but she didn’t want to cause trouble for herself.

"Glazed Star is a Deserted Star; almost all of it is unclaimed land. The soil here is poor. You could fly to the neighboring planet. The vegetation there is lush, and its resources are more plentiful. If it weren’t for the overly ferocious plants and animals, the great families would have claimed it long ago. But with your abilities, you’d be able to protect yourself there."

"The neighboring planet... You think I can just fly over there whenever I want? What about space radiation?"

"You’ll be fine if you just wrap yourself in a Barrier."

"Fine. It’s a desperate move, but if you say it’ll work, it’ll work."

Ji Xiaosong jumped onto Rongrong and quickly wrapped herself in layer after layer of Barriers.

"Rongrong, at your current speed, how long will it take to fly to the neighboring planet?"

"My speed is much faster than before. At our current pace, it will only take a day and a night to fly to the neighboring Wa Star."

"By that measure, Blue Star is even closer."

"Blue Star belongs to the Xia Country. We’d need a visa to go there, otherwise it would be illegal entry, and we’d be killed. The Xia Country is very powerful; we might not be able to win a fight against them."

A person who understands the times is a person of wisdom, and Ji Xiaosong was certainly wise.

"Song, don’t be so down. According to Federation law, if we develop the land on Wa Star and put our mark on it, that land can become ours. The planet’s information will automatically be filed in the Federation’s database."

"If that’s the rule, then I’ll just have to show them what I’ve got. If I don’t take all of Wa Star for myself, then my name isn’t Ji Xiaosong!"
