After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Meanwhile, in the capital city.

A group of officers sat in a conference room using holographic projection. In the center of the round table in the conference room was an electronic screen that played a video of a sudden surge of beast tides during the Battle of Huangshaxing.

A strange beast, seemingly possessing spatial abilities, unleashed three terrifying teleportation vortexes. A continuous stream of strange beasts emerged from the flanks and rear of the army, successfully launching a surprise attack on the troops sent by the Ninth Military Region to aid Huangsha Star.

Faced with an army of alien beasts ten times their size, the encirclement gradually narrowed. In the end, the mech pilots fought desperately to protect their commander, He Yuanyang, by self-destructing, helping him break through the encirclement. He Yuanyang was seriously injured and fell into a coma after entering the Huangsha Star Military Region, and has not yet woken up.

The other soldiers, however, completely disappeared into that space.

Being surrounded by the horde of alien beasts, the outcome was unlikely to be pleasant; most outsiders speculated that they were torn to shreds along with their warships.

In a sense, the number of enemy troops killed in the Battle of Huangsha reached five times the total number of troops, setting a new historical record. However, at the same time, nearly half of the Ninth Military Region's forces were lost on Huangsha Star, breaking the Federation's record for the highest number of casualties.

After engaging the Ninth Military Region, the main force of the alien beasts withdrew from Huangsha Star. Huangsha Star was thus defended...

"Everyone has seen the situation of the Battle of Huangsha Star. A new leader has emerged among the alien beasts. It is estimated that this space-type alien beast is rated as pseudo-S-class and identified as a rare mutated void beast with powerful spatial abilities far exceeding those of ordinary void beasts."

"This also confirms our previous conjecture... that the alien beasts are evolving rapidly."

-----------------

Leng Ran felt as if she were soaking in a hot spring, her mind gradually stabilizing. After regaining consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes.

She was indeed soaking in a hot spring, but not an ordinary hot spring; it was a high-end treatment chamber filled with therapeutic fluid, with an oxygen tube attached to her face to assist her breathing.

It was Leng Ran's first time lying in a treatment chamber. She looked at the large glass bottle with great curiosity and gently tapped the outer shell.

The machine detected that the person had woken up, automatically extracted the remedy fluid and started the drying mode. Five minutes later, the person emerged from the chamber completely dry and refreshed.

"Oh, Miss is awake." A handsome man walked in, his dazzling silver hair tied up in a high ponytail, and his pale purple eyes held an indescribable meaning.

That figure was seen in the basement!

The man chuckled as he saw Leng Ran staring at him warily, then squatted down to be at Leng Ran's eye level: "What are you thinking about, little one?"

"I was thinking how well you take care of your hair?" Leng Ran blinked.

The man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You're much more interesting than your icy-faced father."

"Uncle knows my father?" Leng Ran relaxed a little. To show that he was harmless, he deliberately tilted his head and acted cute. Coupled with a slightly confused look in his eyes, he blended in even more with his age group.

“An old friend.” The silver-haired man paused, glanced at Leng Ran, and seemed unsure how to reveal a cruel truth to a child.

"Next, I have something to tell you, Leng Ran. You should be prepared." The silver-haired man's smile faded, and he spoke very seriously.

"Your parents, along with thousands of mech pilots, went missing during the battle to support the planet Huangsha."

What...?

"But the good news is that we captured fragmented signals from the life detectors, indicating that they may still be alive..."

Leng Ran felt somewhat relieved. Since they were alive, there must be a way to launch another rescue operation. The fact that the other side didn't kill them immediately meant that their lives still had other value and they were not in immediate danger.

The silver-haired man then gave Leng Ran a brief explanation of Huangshaxing's situation.

A sudden, shocking realization... a kidnapping... a divine beast suddenly appearing on the planet Huangsha... missing parents...

Leng Ran felt as if a huge net was hanging over all these events, and she vaguely sensed that she was also a key target in this series of actions.

Although her soul has grown up, she has been pretending to be a seven-year-old girl for so many years, so she shouldn't have given herself away, right?

“Leng Ran, you have been targeted. The force that kidnapped you today is neither the Federation nor the Empire, but a third-party force hidden beneath the surface: the Illuminati.”

"For some reason, they have their eyes on you, and there may be high-ranking officials within the Federation who have contacted them, which is why a warship bypassed Stormstar's inspection and appeared at your home without being detected."

The silver-haired man waved his arm, and a floating screen appeared in front of Leng Ran, displaying news of Leng Ran's attack.

Female host: "Dear viewers, I am currently at the private residence of Leng Ziyi, the supreme commander of the Ninth Military Region. A fierce battle took place here two hours ago, and the entire residence was razed to the ground, leaving behind a large number of robot wreckage and mecha parts."

"It is understood that a group suspected to be space pirates arrived at around 10:14 this morning in a ship to kidnap Commander Leng Ziyi and Leng Ran, the daughter of Intelligence Director Yu Li. They then engaged in a fierce firefight with the mech squad that came to their aid. Miss Leng Ran was accidentally injured by an enemy laser cannon in the mech group and unfortunately died."

Leng Ran, who was killed by a laser cannon: ?

“That’s right, Leng Ran is dead.” The silver-haired man looked at Leng Ran and smiled. “The one who is alive now is the nameless orphan on the nameless star S-03-07.”

Most of the nameless planets have extremely harsh environments, remote locations, few inhabitants, and are constantly embroiled in war, and are deemed worthless junk planets by the federal government.

"An unknown star?" A crack appeared in her cold expression. It seemed like the life of a rich woman was slipping away. "Am I going to have to pick up trash to achieve a life-changing transformation?"

Overnight, she went from being the lead actress in "The Princess Diaries" to an unknown extra in "I Pick Up Trash on an Unknown Star".

I thought I had a perfect start, but three hours later it turned into a complete disaster.

"That's right!" the silver-haired man chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looked at the tearful woman before him. "Have you ever watched 'Wilderness Survival,' young lady?"

Leng Ran's face darkened even more.

“I came here on orders. Originally, I wanted to take you to the capital planet and then send people to protect you in every way so you could live a carefree life, like a beautiful canary in a cage.” The silver-haired man paused and looked at Leng Ran. “However, after seeing you activate Thunder beyond your level and go to such lengths to kill the other party even if it means turning into a madman, I changed my mind.”

"The trials of sandstorms are more suitable for young eagles than luxurious cages."

Leng Ran, who was still feeling annoyed, suddenly straightened up, stopped pretending to be a child, and looked serious. She patted the shoulder of the silver-haired man who was looking at her at eye level.

"Please let me be that canary," Leng Ran said in a serious tone.

If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up; she has no desire to go to the front lines and fight.

This time, the silver-haired man's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure: "You really know how to kill a conversation."

"Shouldn't normal children aspire to work hard, become the strongest commander in the universe, and tear apart conspiracies to rescue their parents?"

"First, how to formulate a rescue plan is your military's business. Second, what do you expect me to do against the alien beast army right now? To be their dessert? And to be a good woman again in seven years?"

"Finally, how could you bear to morally blackmail a seven-year-old girl?" Leng Ran stood with her hands on her hips, staring fiercely at the silver-haired man.

"Alright, alright, I give up, Miss." The silver-haired man stood up, touched Leng Ran's head, and once again received a dissatisfied and disdainful look from her.

"Let's make a deal." The silver-haired man stood up, looking down coldly with the air of a superior. "The reward is very generous, as long as you can live until then."

Seeing this, Leng Ran braced herself on the chair, nimbly flipped over, and stood steadily on the table, meeting the silver-haired man's gaze once more.

"Is this a threat?" Leng Ran saw his own reflection in the other person's pale purple eyes. "Show some sincerity, at least, your name."

"Unfortunately, my name is also part of the reward. And you, right now, don't have the means to acquire it." The silver-haired man chuckled. "On one side of the scale is your life and my identity; on the other side is a mission that could cost you your life."

"Isn't this kind of deal fair?"

"Add one more thing: a starship ticket to Stormstar." Without allowing the other party to refuse, he immediately continued, "Tell me the mission details first."

"I need to assess your capabilities first before deciding whether you're qualified to enter. As for the starship ticket, how about a private jet to deliver it after the mission is complete?" The silver-haired man still wore a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Deal." Leng Ran readily agreed.

"Confidence is a good thing, and I also trust my own judgment." The silver-haired man's smile seemed a little more genuine.

"Let's start with something simple: survive a year as an orphan from star S-03-07. Now, congratulations on your rebirth. Choose a new name for yourself."

A series of images flashed through Leng Ran's mind: her companions from her past life, her missing parents, and Yangon buried in the ruins.

She parted her red lips slightly and coldly announced her new name.

"Don't leave, don't part again."
