At this very moment, Federation soldiers stationed across various planets were still continuously wiping out star beasts and the Zerg to protect the personal safety of ordinary citizens like herself.
This was also why the military held such a high status in the interstellar era.
The number of Federation military academies far exceeded that of ordinary or vocational schools, and every citizen took pride in becoming a soldier!
The original owner of this body was naturally no exception, though her aspiration later became somewhat mixed with other feelings...
Wang Tianwei shook her head... Got it, got it, it's this white-haired kid, right?
I'll definitely take a detour whenever I see him from now on!
The original host's mental prowess was only B-rank. She could have entered a regular military academy, but the Federation's First Military Academy... just hearing the name told you it had the highest standards.
Given her mental prowess and physical fitness, it shouldn't have been realistic, but the little girl was simply too stubborn...
All because that white-haired kid was a single-combat soldier in the S-Class of the First Military Academy!
To attend the same school as him, the original host trained as if her life depended on it, forcibly raising her B-rank physical fitness to A-rank!
Her mental prowess was also dragged up to B+, barely meeting the minimum admission requirements for the First Military Academy's mecha mechanics...
Her younger brother, Wang Kaiyu, possessed S-rank mental prowess and was admitted to the First Military Academy early. It couldn't be said that the original host wasn't jealous.
She wasn't jealous that he could enter the military academy so easily, but rather that he could be in the same class as the person she liked.
Right, that white-haired kid also had S-rank mental prowess...
Thinking of this, Wang Tianwei secured the virtual screen and stretched her upper body.
Mental prowess and physical fitness were usually matched and wouldn't differ too much.
If mental prowess exceeded physical fitness by too much, there was a risk that the body wouldn't be able to bear it, ultimately leading to mental collapse and death!
And if physical fitness far exceeded mental prowess, the mind wouldn't be able to fully control the body. Simply put, the body would move faster than the brain!
This might not be obvious in daily life, but in mecha combat, even the slightest loss of control or distortion in movement could be fatal!
Wang Tianwei felt that the original host's sudden death might very well be related to this; she had trained far too aggressively...
Actually, this body was already much better than her original one. Its flexibility and explosive power were beyond anything she could have ever imagined!
If she had possessed this kind of physical fitness in the apocalypse, she would have dared to challenge that level-five zombie one-on-one!
Even so, this was only B-rank?
Just what level of evolution had humanity reached!?
After reading the data for a while longer, the optical computer showed the time as 02:30.
Wang Tianwei felt a bit hungry again, so she went downstairs barefoot.
Although the floor of the entire house looked metallic, it didn't feel cold at all when stepped on; instead, it felt warm.
Along the way, sensor lights turned on and off following her movements.
Arriving at the kitchen,
Wang Tianwei pulled open the door of the refrigerator, which was packed full of food, and her eyes immediately sparkled!
Good heavens!
How long had it been since she last saw so many fresh fruits and vegetables!?
Over the past two days, aside from holing up in her room reading popular science, the place she visited the most was the kitchen!
Whenever she felt battered by reality, simply opening the fridge made her feel like she could keep going!
She took out strawberries, bananas, green vegetables, and added two eggs!
She placed these items on the counter, then tilted her head back to reach for the instant noodles in the hanging cabinet.
"Master, is there anything you need me to do?"
The cooking robot emerged from its charging station, emitting a cute electronic voice that startled Wang Tianwei so much she almost jumped!
"...No need, I can do it myself."
"Understood. If you need anything, please call me anytime."
The cooking robot, equipped with six retractable mechanical arms, returned to its charging pile the way it came. Wang Tianwei could even discern a hint of loneliness from its chubby, round back...
Since she woke up in the original host's place, she rarely asked the robot to do anything besides answering questions, cleaning, and maintenance.
She couldn't help it; she still retained her old living habits.
Not to mention... how could she leave matters of food to others!? Even if it was a robot, she wasn't willing!
Wang Tianwei washed a plate of fruit for herself, cooked a large bowl of noodles, and poached two eggs!
Three days ago, who could have been as extravagant as her!?
Even the base commander probably didn't eat better than this, right?
Wouldn't a meal like this cost half a month's worth of contribution points?
Cooking took ten minutes; eating took only five.
Burping, Wang Tianwei put the used utensils and dishes into the dishwasher, grabbed a tube of nutrient solution from the fridge, and slowly sipped it as she walked back.
Due to the improvement in physical fitness, most people in this era chose to directly drink nutrient solutions or eat nutrient pastes.
Convenient, fast, and comprehensive!
For instance, even though she had just eaten so much that her stomach was bursting, her nutritional intake was actually still insufficient. Therefore, she chose to add a tube of nutrient solution as a supplement. Anyway, any excess would quickly be metabolized.
The reason there was so much food in this house was that the original host's parents were in the nutrient solution business. They frequently needed to develop new flavors or forms, and sometimes needed to test the nutrient content of their products, which required them to empty their bodies.
Wang Tianwei didn't care about all that. She could tolerate anything else, but when it came to eating, those who had never starved had no right to speak!
Passing by a mirror, Wang Tianwei couldn't help but stop. She reached up and fiddled with her black-and-white hair.
"...This aesthetic sense is way too unique."
When she first looked in the mirror, she thought she was suffering from premature graying! But looking closely, the roots were black?
After thinking about it, she realized that the original host had deliberately dyed her hair white to match her crush's, all to attract his attention.
She clearly had a baby face, yet to look cool, she loved wearing heavy makeup and thick eyeliner, and even painted her nails in patchy black and white...
Before the apocalypse, people in her world would call this alternative, "Shamate"... or a delinquent girl.
However, after learning about the little girl's experiences, Wang Tianwei could somewhat understand her mindset.
The Wang family was originally a military family. Her eldest uncle, second uncle, and third aunt were all in the military district, and her grandfather's generation were also soldiers.
Her father, Wang Yi, was the youngest son in the family, and he was the only one who didn't join the military, choosing instead to go into business.
The adults would still hide it on the surface, but the children of those relatives weren't nearly as good at pretending.
This once made the young Wang Tianwei experience what "contempt" truly meant.
Over time, the little girl's temperament became increasingly perverse, and she grew distant from her parents.
She also self-taught herself to arm herself with an exaggerated appearance, and the consequence of doing so was naturally being even more ostracized.
When she was being mocked at a gathering, that white-haired guy said a few words to help her aunt out of an embarrassing situation. As a result, the original host fell in love at first sight and launched a rather crazy pursuit...
"..."
Thinking of this, Wang Tianwei also felt quite helpless.
Three days ago, she only had to deal with zombies. Her biggest problem every day was where her next meal was coming from, or where to get some water and bullets.
Now, not only did she have to learn knowledge from scratch and familiarize herself with high technology, but she also had to deal with interpersonal and emotional issues.
"Being alive really isn't easy..."
Beep, beep.
Before she could finish marveling at herself, the front door suddenly let out an electronic chime and swung open.
A tall figure walked in from outside, locking eyes with Wang Tianwei, who was still standing in front of the mirror.
You?...
Wang Kaiyu stared at the person in front of him, stunned for a moment before he quickly realized who it was.
Wang Tianwei? What are you doing up here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
As he spoke, he caught the lingering scent of food in the room. He then glanced at the nutrient fluid in his sister's hand, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.
You haven't eaten at this hour... Are you really that hungry?
Why was he back now!?
Wang Tianwei stared blankly at her nearly two-meter-tall younger brother, her throat feeling a bit dry.
Uh...
However, Wang Kaiyu didn't dwell on the matter. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen his sister's face looking so clean, and he wasn't quite used to it either.
So this is what you look like now...
...Why are you back at this hour?
Wang Tianwei finally managed to find her voice.
The S-Class training camp ended. I figured coming back tonight wouldn't be any different from coming back tomorrow morning.
Wang Kaiyu sat down by the door to take off his tactical boots, while Wang Tianwei checked the time again.
The training camp ended in the middle of the night?
Wang Kaiyu didn't even turn his head.
Isn't it normal for the First Military Academy's training to end at any random time? Whoever finishes the tasks just gets to leave early.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a wave of regret washed over him.
Crap, is she going to think I'm showing off again? We're going to end up arguing again...
To his surprise, Wang Tianwei merely nodded.
I see... Well, get some rest then. I'm going back to bed too.
Oh.
It wasn't until she had gone upstairs that Wang Kaiyu scratched his head in utter confusion.
She actually didn't take a jab at me today? Is she still half-asleep?
