"Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really quite different from when I first arrived..." After climbing out of the nutrient liquid, Su Jiang took a shower, wrapped herself in a towel, and looked in the mirror, finding that the person in the reflection had changed significantly; the eyebrows and eyes even had a certain familiarity...
Upon closer thought, she realized she looked sowhat similar to her pre-disfigured self from her previous life. She had seen photos of the original owner of this body when life was going well, a sweet and cute girl with a shy smile, enveloped in a warm aura of bubbles.
Now, however, within just three to four months, Su Jiang had grown significantly taller, her cheeks had slimd down slightly, and her eyes were more open, giving her a more heroic appearance. Coupled with the influence of Su Jiang’s own soul, this body’s appearance greatly differed from that of the original owner.
Even if soone very familiar with the original owner stood in front of her, they probably wouldn’t recognize her, at most finding her sowhat familiar.
Su Jiang was very satisfied with this situation. She put on an oversized hooded casual short-sleeved shirt and bean-green shorts, and donned a pair of sunglasses that could cover half her face before heading out with the versatile Guan Changxi.
On the way to pick up the gift, Su Jiang passed an artistic photo studio that offered photo printing. After so hesitation and under Changxi’s puzzled look, she went in and developed a photo. This was Su Jiang’s appearance in her second life. Perhaps because two-thirds of that life was spent disfigured, if she didn’t look at photos, she couldn’t recall her past appearance. Even now, there was a sense of unfamiliarity.
Changxi glanced at it, then looked up at Su Jiang and asked, "Master... is this your mother? You look so much alike..."
Su Jiang looked at the photo, then at Changxi’s expression, which seed to ask "Did I say sothing wrong?", and silently put the photo away, "No... she was a good friend of mine, very close, like my other half... unfortunately, she’s passed away now."
Guan Changxi wisely shut his mouth. Even though he was a robot, he could sense how terrible Su Jiang’s mood was at that mont. It wasn’t because of him, most likely it was because of the person in the photo... it was best for him to be sensible and avoid stepping on landmines.
They soon reached the cha trading street in this area and went straight into a shop, "Boss, are the custom parts I ordered ready?"
This was the real-world cha trading street. Considering how rare cha pilots are in reality, the crowd wasn’t as terrifying as in the virtual network, but those who ca and went were mostly cha Masters, none of whom were to be trifled with.
Ever since Su Jiang learned that K3’s birthday was approaching, she had been thinking about giving him a aningful birthday gift. After considering for several days, she found it difficult to co up with a good one, and it needed to be thoughtfully crafted.
Sothing too expensive was beyond her budget, and K3 didn’t need it. If she forced it, he might complain privately that she shouldn’t give sothing so costly, adding a burden to her household. Sothing too cheap would seem classless and perfunctory, even if K3 didn’t mind and accepted it cheerfully, others would gossip and bring unnecessary trouble to K3.
After two days of distress, she finally decided to give him a cha model. However, this cha model was different from ordinary ones: it’s a miniature version of a real cha, capable of attack, with not a single part missing.
If K3 wished, he could completely disassemble the model and enlarge each part to create a truly magnificent cha!
Since she wanted to make it extraordinary, just having a realistic model wasn’t enough; the cha had to be innovative and refreshing, much like the cha design maps she had given to K3 and the others before.
To keep the secrets safe, she distributed the parts of the entire cha to several custom shops. As for the cha’s most critical power source and engine, she crafted them personally, making it absolutely unique!
By now, everyone should understand why she brought Guan Changxi along; it was purely for free labor.
As they passed through the square, they noticed two pieces of news being looped on the big screen. The content of one was roughly that a vicious star thief leader had sneaked into Qiming Star, urging the public to remain vigilant and, if they had any clues, not to act rashly but to report them secretly...
The second piece of news stated that a group of fugitive convicts escaped, visiting Qiming Star. They committed hundreds of terrorist attacks on planets along the way, injuring and killing thousands, making the case extrely serious, and calling on the public to remain vigilant...
Su Jiang muttered under her breath, sneering at Guan Changxi, "The first piece of news is understandable, after all, star thieves are known for being cunning, it’s easy for a lone individual to hide. But the second piece of news is too absurd..."
Starting from the first attack, this group has passed through forty-three planets, committing 113 cris, with thousands of casualties... Knowing the usual behavior of the Alliance governnt, Su Jiang was sure the numbers were far higher than reported...
Such arrogant cris have continued for so long without catching the criminal group... truly unfathomable.
Su Jiang also understands the Alliance’s usual style... In her previous life and in this Human Alliance, they always adhered to the principle of definitely solving big cases while procrastinating on small ones. The second piece of news was definitely a major case, so why hasn’t it been solved yet?
Is it that the enemies are too cunning, like troubleso little demons, or is the Alliance planning for greater gains, trying to play a long ga? Su Jiang has no idea.
Right now, she’s just an ordinary citizen, unable to access such matters. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on qidian, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
