Chapter 1: Transmigration

Chapter 1: Transmigration

"Warning, warning! Spaceship experiencing malfunctions. Prepare for emergency landing."

"Warning, warning!"

"Damn it," Chu Yi couldn't help but curse.

Who could be as unlucky as her? She had completed the mission perfectly, but on her way back, she encountered an attack by interstellar pirates. Despite her exceptional piloting skills, she couldn't fend off the relentless pursuit of the interstellar pirates. She watched as her spaceship sustained significant damage, with the red warning lights inside the cabin continuously flashing and alarms blaring.

At this moment, Chu Yi knew she had to abandon the spaceship; otherwise, she wouldn't survive.

She touched the space button on her neck, and Chu Yi felt a sense of relief. It contained all her belongings.

In the rapidly advancing age of interstellar technology, Chu Yi's invisible space button was the latest model, with a spacious area of over 200 square meters. It only required the owner's blood implantation to activate and could remain invisible to anyone without the latest space detection device. According to rumors, this space button also had a hidden feature, but it had yet to be discovered.

This space button had cost Chu Yi nearly all her savings from the first half of her life. It was a limited edition, with only a hundred units available in the entire galaxy. Chu Yi had managed to purchase this one through connections.

Chu Yi had originally planned to relax and travel to other planets after this mission, so she had spent all her assets on nutrient solution and three different grades of restorative potions. After all, with the success of this mission, she would receive a substantial reward, and as a lone individual, she wouldn't have to worry about anyone else going hungry if she was well-fed.

Unexpectedly, she encountered interstellar pirates. Fortunately, she was well-prepared with all her safety equipment. Looking at the vast expanse of space outside, Chu Yi retrieved the prepared escape pod and planned to leave the spaceship.

But as she looked at the trajectory outside, it seemed that there were no developed planets nearby, and she had no idea where she might drift off to. However, she was fortunate to have nutrient solutions and medicine within the space, so as long as she could escape, even if she landed on a primitive planet, she would be able to survive safely.

It was a pity, though. She had heard that there was a restaurant on Planet XX known for its exquisite ancient cuisine, and she had planned to visit it. However, with the rapid development of interstellar civilization, the traditional delicacies had disappeared. Nutrient solutions had become commonplace on all planets, and only a few prestigious families still preserved such culinary traditions. Despite the exorbitant prices, Chu Yi still wanted to taste those delicacies.

Oh well, no use dwelling on it. If she kept thinking about it, her spaceship would explode. Chu Yi pushed out the escape pod and arrived at the emergency exit. She surveyed the spaceship once more, making sure everything was packed. She set the spaceship on autopilot toward the direction of the pirates and then entered the escape pod, waiting for the pirates' attack to subside before fleeing amidst the smoky chaos.

As the spaceship sped toward the pirates, Chu Yi smirked when she heard a loud "crash." Even if the spaceship was damaged, she would make it unleash its remaining power. Although she couldn't kill the pirates, she could certainly cause them significant confusion.

Watching the fiery explosion behind her, Chu Yi's lips curled into a smile. Those damned interstellar pirates, she, Chu Yi, would return sooner or later.

Just as Chu Yi began to relax, a missile was launched from an unknown location, narrowly missing the right side of her escape pod. It instantly sheared off the right wing of the escape pod, and before Chu Yi could react, she lost consciousness in a deafening explosion.

"Hehe, doesn't this girl look pretty good without her glasses? Don't fight over her later; I'm going first~"

"Yes, yes, after our boss is done, we'll take our time too, hehe~"

"Don't worry, once I'm satisfied, you won't be left out~"

□□A jumble of words rang in Chu Yi's ears, and her head felt heavy as a series of images flashed through her mind.

This is the story of a young girl who was abandoned at the doorstep of an orphanage. She grew up in a dilapidated orphanage, working part-time jobs while studying hard. Perhaps due to her upbringing, she developed a timid and self-conscious personality. She wore large, black-framed glasses, and her clothing was plain and worn.

She had no friends around her, relying on scholarships and part-time jobs to make ends meet. Growing up without any family or friends, she busied herself with studying and part-time work every day. During her three years of university, she remained invisible to others, even her three roommates in the dormitory hardly noticed her.

On this particular evening, as the girl was on her way back to school after finishing her part-time job, she was cornered by a few thugs, who threatened and intimidated her. They even slapped her a few times before forcing her to take some pills. Her life of frugality due to her orphan status had left her malnourished and frail, making her look much younger than her actual age.

The dosage of the pills given by the thugs was excessive, and the girl's fragile body couldn't handle it. She succumbed to it, and when she left, there was no suffering, only relief.

Sensing the girl's departure, Chu Yi sincerely hoped that in her next life, the girl would be born into a better family with loving parents and friends, enjoying the love and friendship she had missed in this lifetime.

At this moment, Chu Yi probably realized that she had become the girl in the images in her mind. Without much time to think, a surge of warmth rushed through Chu Yi's body. She bit her tongue to force herself awake.

Opening her eyes, Chu Yi saw three men with brightly colored short hair and disheveled clothing surrounding her. They were looking down at her, wearing □□ expressions. This was a narrow alley, and there was no one else around, only distant shouts could be heard.

Judging the distance, it was too far, and even if she shouted for help, no one would hear in this secluded alley. Chu Yi couldn't figure out why the girl had taken this route.

Fortunately, Chu Yi was skilled, and with her last bit of strength, she quickly turned over and kicked one of the men while they were unprepared. Luckily, the three thugs had just put on a show of bravado and were easily defeated by Chu Yi. They lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Chu Yi quickly left the alley, paying no further attention to the thugs. It was just that her body was too weak, so being able to handle three thugs was already impressive. If they had reinforcements, Chu Yi feared she might not have made it out alive today.

Walking out of the alley, the lively scene before Chu Yi made her momentarily stunned. In an era of advanced interstellar technology, everything had been replaced by high-tech solutions, and travel was done by spaceships. Chu Yi had never seen people running on the ground, although she had learned from the girl's memories that this was the 21st century, a relatively backward era in terms of development. However, when faced with it in reality, it was still quite a shock to Chu Yi.

Everything around her was both unfamiliar and familiar, and the air was filled with the scent of food. In the interstellar age, the main planet was not suitable for agriculture, and only a few colonial planets had the capability to grow crops. Most planets relied on high-tech simulated plants. Chu Yi loved traditional culture, but she had never had the opportunity to experience it.

Interstellar food had always consisted of nutrient supplements, unlike the appetizing smells Chu Yi now perceived, which she had never experienced before.

The people around her bustled about, shouting and calling out, and people of all kinds passed by Chu Yi. Everything around her felt like a brand new world.

"Hmm~" Chu Yi couldn't help but let out a soft moan as the heat within her continued to intensify. She needed to leave quickly. Without time to gather her thoughts, Chu Yi randomly chose a path.

Chu Yi didn't know how long she had been walking. There were fewer and fewer people around her. Her face was now flushed, and her steps were laborious. Her mind seemed to be in turmoil, and the glasses on her face had long been taken by the thugs. She hadn't even thought about picking them up when she left. At this moment, she looked around with a pair of misty eyes.

Just as Chu Yi reached a car, a hand suddenly reached out from the partially open rear door and pulled her inside. She felt the high temperature emanating from the person, which further confused her in her dazed state.

Chu Yi knew that with her current body, she would be completely defenseless against the effects of the drug. She hadn't fully adapted to this body yet and couldn't react differently. However, being pulled into what was called a "car" in this era, Chu Yi noticed that the abnormal readings on the person's body suggested that they might have been drugged like her.

Before she could react, a torrent of kisses landed on Chu Yi's face, eyes, and mouth. The effects of the drug made it difficult for Chu Yi to see clearly, but what she could make out was the deep, red glow in the other person's eyes, filled with madness. The movements of their hands were not gentle, and their thin lips were biting Chu Yi's mouth. Heat enveloped her, and Chu Yi couldn't see the other person's face clearly anymore.

As time passed, Chu Yi lost track of how long it had been. She felt exhausted and eventually drifted off to sleep. What Chu Yi didn't notice was that her weak body emitted a faint silver-white light at that moment, as if it were undergoing a subtle transformation.

The man next to her, also under the influence of heavy drugs, gradually fell into a deep sleep. No one knew that at this moment, the destinies of the two of them were tightly bound together in the future.

"Hiss~" Looking at the marks on her body, Chu Yi could imagine how rough the man's actions had been.

Surveying the small space, the back seat had been folded down, resembling a single bed. The man was sleeping with his back to Chu Yi, and she couldn't see his expression at this moment.

"Buzz~" Something in her pocket started buzzing, and Chu Yi took it out to find a small box-like object. From her jumbled memories, Chu Yi learned that this was called a "cellphone" in this era, with many functions, although it couldn't compare to the neural implants of the interstellar age.

Upon opening it, Chu Yi realized that the alarm on the cellphone was ringing. After a moment's thought, she remembered that the original owner of this body was a student who had to attend early morning self-study sessions. Seeing that it was almost dawn, Chu Yi understood that this was a reminder set by the original owner for herself.

With great effort, Chu Yi moved her body. She had to return to school as soon as possible, take a shower, change her clothes, and get herself ready. After dressing neatly, Chu Yi opened the car door without looking back, got out, and closed the door. She left, and half an hour later, the man was awakened by the ringing of his phone.
