Star Calendar Year 974, Planet Sha’ut.
“Heroine quickquickquick! Over there over there, it’s coming again! AAAAAAAHHHH!!” A cute girl with short hair shrieked, clinging to another girl wearing red clothes, almost becoming a tailless bear with the way she stuck to her back. Her mouth would occasionally release high shrieks that were extremely noisy.
Good thing that everything here – as far as the eye could see – was a wasteland, there were no other living beings aside from them… Wait no, there were also some alien-like monsters, they could also be considered living things. However, since their shrieks weren’t any better than the girl’s screaming, they didn’t have the right to complain about the noise.
A flash of steel and silver cleaved the aliens with their long tongues in two. Thick, gooey liquid splattered all over the ground like black oil.
The girl in red and holding a sword took out the aliens lunging at them, her left hand grabbed the screaming short-haired girl and spun around, her right hand’s sword promptly sank into the head of another alien, right in the middle of its forehead, spearing right through the unfortunate alien.
Kicking away the alien corpse, the girl leapt up with movement that seemed easy to do and landed on another alien’s head, however the force of it made a deep indent in the alien’s cranium. The two-person tall alien that had been swinging its heavy limbs crazily instantly withered. And she didn’t stop her swings either; with a flick of her wrist she cut a deep cross mark and split another unprepared alien into four pieces.
“AAAAAAAHHHHHHH HEROINE YOU’RE SO COOL! I’M WILLING TO MARRY YOU! KYAAAAAAAAAH!” The short-haired girl was clinging tightly to her left hand, starting to scream again at her cool and crisp actions.
The girl in red pretended not to hear, her face was a deadpan expression as she took care of the remaining aliens in a vicious manner. Chunks of meat fell from the air, dismembered into pieces, and at the same time blackened blood sprayed all over the scene, which was actually pretty disgusting. The smell alone was enough to kill a person, however the two girls had gotten used to it.
The battle ended. The short-haired girl finally left the other red-clothed girl’s person, her first action was to check the tiny watch-computer on her wrist. She sighed in relief, “Good good, my baby hasn’t been broken, this is knowledge that can save the world you know! It’d be the worst if something was accidentally broken.”
Saying this she looked at the red-clothed girl quietly cleaning her sword. She said in excitement, “Heroine, you’re so amazing! Are the ancient martial artists in history as awesome as you are? Heavens heavens, you really won’t consider telling me from which timeline you transmigrated?”
The girl in red who just finished acting cool was none other than Shu Yu. As for why she was in this strange place, accompanied by a strange girl, together killing off strange monsters and not wandering around in another world with Fu Wang, the story was a bit long.
Speaking of, a month ago she and Fu Wang left the magical continent and arrived at this world, but just as they arrived they couldn’t even take a proper look at their surroundings when something unexpected happened.
A reddish beam shone towards them. Fu Wang’s reaction time was faster and he subconsciously pushed Shu Yu away, and then that red beam enveloped him entirely.
Then, he disappeared.
When Shu Yu arrived in this world, the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions were weaker, so the body she was using was the powerful body Fu Wang had created for her. She didn’t even get to marvel at being able to be humanoid again, when they arrived here she didn’t even get a word in before Fu Wang was gone. At the time, Shu Yu had been utterly dumbfounded.
In the same sense, just as dumbfounded was another young girl who had been on the scene at the time, or in any case, it was the short-haired girl who was with her right now. This girl who looked cute and had a tendency for screaming was named Wu Xiaoshi. From her mouth, Shu Yu learnt of what happened.
If we had to talk about why the young girl was here, that was another long story. Basically, the beam that had spirited Fu Wang away was the gravitational force of a time machine. In short, the young girl had turned on a time machine that her late father left behind, preparing to time travel two hundred years into the past to change the future, but unexpectedly Fu Wang and Shu Yu suddenly appeared and – completely by coincidence and accident – Fu Wang took the place of that young girl and was pulled into the time machine.
So in short… Fu Wang went two hundred years into the past. Humu.
When Shu Yu learnt of this disastrous news from Wu Xiaoshi’s mouth, her first reaction was that oh, i’m going to starve to death. Yes, this body of hers needed to drink Fu Wang’s blood every day! With Fu Wang gone, she will get hungry; although Fu Wang said she wouldn’t actually starve to death, he said she would get extremely, horribly hungry!
Taking in consideration Fu Wang’s Danger Level and the example of his adaptability in the previous world, Shu Yu felt that no matter the world, the one who ought to be worried was not Fu Wang but the respective world. Of course, she was more worried about herself right now.
As for why the girl Wu Xiaoshi had a time machine, why she needed to time travel, why she said she had to go two hundred years into the past to save the world—— That was because now the world was in the Star Calendar Year 974, aliens had invaded earth two hundred years ago and decimated half of humanity, the remaining survivors as of now couldn’t even reach the 1 billion number and were still tenaciously warring against the alien creatures that had invaded. Human federations had disintegrated around a century ago after its last governing leader had perished, so now the surviving humans were scattered through different areas trying their hardest to survive.
Wu Xiaoshi’s father was an intelligent person, a legendary and rare scientist. He had the fortune to find many precious materials in a spaceship of unknown origins and proceeded to experiment and create armored giants with overwhelming power. By using these mechas, even humans who couldn’t fight alien monsters would be able to solo the monsters themselves!
However, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice; the current earth had been ravaged by the aliens to the point where no human organization remained, so no mecha army could be created to rebel against the alien monsters.
But then Wu Xiaoshi’s father, the guy with S-Rank Luck, once again found a bizarre machine and a pile of strange substances in another spaceship and in the end, he managed to invent a single-use time machine. He decided to deal with the catastrophe at its root and time travel to the past to change the future.
However Wu Xiaoshi’s father’s body was already at its limit due to negligence, so in the end he could only input his mecha research into a small chip within a watch and give it to his daughter Wu Xiaoshi, and tell her to return two hundred years into the past and – before the aliens invaded – hand the mecha research and data to the leader of the union federation, also deemed by later generations the most powerful president the union federation ever had, Huayun.
There was a saying that had Huayun lived for a dozen or so years more, mankind wouldn’t have so quickly become a lost cause right after the alien invasion, which was a testament to how powerful this leader was.
Wu Xiaoshi’s father passed away with a smile after passing his instructions. Wu Xiaoshi solemnly went towards a deserted place to switch on the time machine—— and then Fu Wang and Shu Yu had the fortune of barreling straight into it.
Shu Yu’s face had been stunned. Wu Xiaoshi’s face was even more stunned plus horrified. The two people looked at the empty space, rendered mute for a long, long while. But then the sky darkened and the two encountered alien monsters, Shu Yu unsheathed her sword and killed groups of them alone without going red or panting from exertion. Wu Xiaoshi’s eyes brightened and she decided to cling to the heaven-sent heroine’s thigh.
“I will make a time machine for you and help you find that big brother, so Heroine, please be friends with me, let me hug your thigh please?” At the time, this was what Wu Xiaoshi said.
Shu Yu could only agree. She didn’t know how to make something like a time machine, at least Wu Xiaoshi had an overpowered dad and a bunch of data, who knew, maybe she really could make a time machine.
However, she felt that instead of waiting for Wu Xiaoshi to make a time machine and go look for Fu Wang, it would be more lucrative to survive well and wait for Fu Wang to find her. Perhaps Fu Wang, with his terrifying talent as a studious genius, would be able to create his own time machine and come find her in two years. If not, then it was only two hundred years, Fu Wang had endured one millenia before, he probably wouldn’t snap… right?
With such trepidation, Shu Yu lived in this world that seemed like a science-fiction movie you’d see everywhere on the streets.
During this, she noticed another thing: Fu Wang lied to her. If she didn’t drink his blood, the most she would get is slightly hungry, she didn’t feel so hungry she would go insane like he had told her before. At the time she had thought Fu Wang had blackened very severely, but when time passed and she looked again, Fu Wang was clearly still that Fu Wang from so long ago who wouldn’t dare to harm a strand on her hair and would only scare her off, he didn’t actually do the real thing.
Shu Yu had to admit, she started to miss Fu Wang the first day he was gone. Good thing she had Wu Xiaoshi – this goober – by her side, they didn’t stop for a single moment, so at least it wasn’t lonely.
Half a month later, as they wandered they found a bunch of children and because of Reasons they ended up taking them in. The two girls raised the children together. Shu Yu was busy looking for food everyday and materials to make mechas and the time machine, so there wasn’t a lot of time for mourning or being sad.
When she felt too horrible about it, she could still go outside and let some steam by chopping up aliens. Concurrently, low level aliens couldn’t last one strike under Shu Yu, mid-level aliens couldn’t last three strikes, and high-level aliens couldn’t last ten strikes. Shu Yu could still hold herself well even when they surrounded her.
As for the super aliens, they were supposedly super amazing creatures with different appearances, though Shu Yu never met one. Basically, Shu Yu was in an unbeatable soloing state, it was very cool, she would be rewarded with Wu Xiaoshi and the children’s gazes full of awe and admiration everyday, and obviously she had become the Big Sister Boss of the group.
Amongst them Wu Xiaoshi – the braindead fan – did the loudest effort, she would be amazed each time she killed a monster every day and praised her to no end, then finally and routinely she would ask her from which world they had come from. Against this, Shu Yu’s reaction would be to open her mouth and say chillingly, “Wu Xiaoshi, just try to make more ruckus, do you want to be close and up with the aliens?”
Together with the pretentious stabbing posture she learnt from Ximen Chuixue[mfn]西门吹雪 Ximen Chuixue, a character from a wuxia novel series, previously mentioned in past chapters as well.[/mfn], her intimidation factor was at its MAX, from Wu Xiaoshi to the most playful child amidst the children, they didn’t dare try to tickle Big Boss Sis Shu Yu’s whiskers.
“Hihihi~ I won’t bother you~ Heroine is the best~ She definitely won’t bother with a cute girl like me right~” Wu Xiaoshi fawned, bumbling behind Shu Yu and urging her forward. “Let’s go let’s go, according to Seven’s map, there should be a huge metal market nearby, with this research data, we should be able to make mechas, then me and older children like Seven will be able to kill monsters with you!”
“Your screeches are enough to kill monsters.”
“Big Boss Sis, you’re making fun of me.”
Shu Yu mutely unsheathed her sword. Wu Xiaoshi’s face turned horrified seeing this, “I-I won’t call you Big Boss Sis anymore alright, calm down, don’t take out your swordAAAH—”
Her figure blurred. When Wu Xiaoshi realized, she saw Shu Yu sheathing her sword with a mid-level alien’s corpse at her feet.
With Wu Xiaoshi starting another round of gushing, Shu Yu threw down a single sentence, “Let’s go.”
That’s right, she was that cool.
Shu Yu bundled up all the useful materials they found in the sunken market, which created a pile that was over a dozen meters tall and several meters wide, like a small mountain. She carried it off with a single hand, like an ant carrying an elephant. Wu Xiaoshi carried bags of food behind her, sometimes raising her head to look at the expressionless Shu Yu.
The two returned to their temporary hideout, a hidden and large factory. Before even entering, they could see the children coming out to greet them. The one leading them was Seven, who was the leader of the children before meeting Shu Yu and Wu Xiaoshi, he was only twelve years old and was calm and thin in appearance.
“Big Sis, Second Sis, you’re back, are you two hurt?” He looked at Shu Yu.
Wu Xiaoshi giggled as she rubbed his head. “With Big Boss Sis how would we get hurt, this time we found a lot of nice stuff, quickly tell everyone to come and organize them. Tonight you, Nine, Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen will help me, you guys already learnt the basics of assembling mechas right, we’re going to start assemblings mecha!”
“Alright, Second Sis.”
“The rest of the children will keep training on time after dinner, no slacking.” Shu Yu could finally experience the feeling of being a teacher.
“Alright, Big Sis.”
The atmosphere over here was harmonious, every day was spent in calm and sufficiency, however Fu Wang—— A BOSS who originated from a world with zero science, well, his three views were being reconstructed again in a scientific world.
The time machine landed in the union federation of Star Calendar Year 774, in the room of the union federation leader (the type of leader who was only born every 500 years), Mr. Huayun.
What a pity that this cold-faced President Hua didn’t even manage to utter a word before Fu Wang landed on top of him and crushed him to death with his weight.
Fu Wang looked at the, ehem, corpse that possessed this world’s unique fate, and nonchalantly took over it.
When the guards hurriedly arrived, they saw the usually cold and harsh President Huayun sitting behind his desk, and there was a strange smoking machine one meter away from him.
“President, are you alright?”
“I’m alright.”
Guards: … Holy shit! The President smiled at me!
