Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Jiang Zhixia hung up the video call with Su Chen, feeling that something was off.

She felt like she had overlooked something.

Before I could figure it out, the doorbell rang.

As soon as you open the door, four tall blue pillars stand guard at the entrance.

Oh, not a pillar, but a burly male military officer in a dark blue uniform.

"Your Highness," the leading male bowed, "By order of the General, we are taking your slave Lu Jue to the military headquarters for a week-long operational assessment and military testing."

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

She was convinced; she was truly convinced.

Since she didn't have control, Jiang Ting didn't feel comfortable letting her stay with Lu Jue for even a minute.

But she's only been back for less than an hour, and they've already sent someone over?

Did he plant a surveillance camera on her?!

Lu Jue was not surprised to see the military personnel. He smiled helplessly at the princess and turned to pack his luggage.

Jiang Zhixia watched the boy's lonely figure, feeling a pang of heartache.

She was used to having Lu Jue by her side, and now that they were suddenly separated, and that they would have to see each other less and less in the future, she felt reluctant to part with him.

Jiang Zhixia is really something.

It's not just about being apart most of the time.

Lu Jue silently packed his things and sighed softly.

Once I joined the military, the days of living and eating with females, being inseparable from them, would be virtually impossible.

After the test, he became a recruit, with only one day off a week, and on that day he was likely to be closely watched because of his status as a slave, making it unlikely he would ever see the princess.

However, this was his own choice, and at least this path will allow him to stay by her side forever in the future.

Lu Jue composed himself, turned around, and a warm, soft body suddenly fell into his arms.

His pupils trembled.

Jiang Zhixia snuggled into his arms and whispered, "Don't push yourself, don't get hurt, eat well... I'll come see you."

Lu Jue let her hug him, and chuckled upon hearing this.

The pampered princess was unaware that it was impossible to avoid injury during military tests.

The military doesn't have any natural food for him; he'd be lucky to get any nutritional supplements.

But he couldn't say it out loud and make the already reluctant female even more worried.

He wasn't quite sure if the hug was out of reluctance or something else, and after a few seconds he tentatively raised his arm and gently enveloped the female in his embrace.

"Princess, don't be sad... I will come back to see you as soon as possible."

He boldly pulled the female closer to his chest, gently stroking her back with his palm, enjoying the comfortable feeling of being enveloped in her sweet fragrance.

The military personnel who witnessed this scene stood ramrod straight, their eyes wide as if they had seen a ghost.

...The general sent them to pick up a slave, right?

Judging from the princess's affectionate attitude towards him, if it weren't for the tattoos on that boy's face, who would be able to tell that he was a slave?!

Jiang Zhixia's hug further strengthened Lu Jue's determination to go to the military.

Lu Jue: Once we remove Jiang Ting from the position of general, we can do whatever he wants!

After lingering for another ten minutes, Jiang Zhixia finally let go, her eyes red as she saw him off at the door.

The military hovercraft was enormous and parked in the courtyard.

As soon as Lu Jue got into the car, the military personnel quickly closed the door and took off as if fleeing.

If we stay any longer, the Third Princess will really cry!

Inside the car, several males all looked at Lu Jue with strange expressions.

The kid who escaped from the detention center seven or eight times recently and was constantly nagged by several instructors was this one.

Lu Jue's face no longer showed the obedient boyishness he had shown in front of Jiang Zhixia.

He leaned against the carriage wall, his sharp eyes meeting his gaze.

The guards: "..."

Well, he's still a troublemaker.

The hovercraft landed at a training base directly under the military headquarters.

Lu Jue followed behind several military personnel through a cold, white-lit corridor to an inspection room.

An inspector sat behind a desk and pointed to the table without looking up.

"luggage."

Lu Jue placed the simple package on it.

The inspector quickly opened the package and began the routine inventory check.

The process was quick because Lu Jue had very little stuff.

Aside from a few changes of clothes, there was almost nothing else.

The inspector picked up the few pieces of soft clothing, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This material doesn't look like it's for slaves. The person was brought from the princess's side on the orders of the Crown Prince... It seems he's quite favored?

He calmly stuffed the clothes back in and continued his inspection.

Then, he stopped moving.

In the corner lay an exquisite transparent candy box, filled with colorful filled gummies.

inspector:"……"

He looked up, his gaze complex as he looked at Lu Jue.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jue frowned slightly: "Can't I bring this?"

The princess bought this to comfort him because she saw that the medicine was too bitter for him and was trying to coax him like a child.

He didn't want to lose it.

The inspector's expression became even more indescribable. "...Yes."

You wouldn't guess he has such a childlike heart.

He pushed the package aside, pointed ahead, and said, "Alright, change your clothes and head to Virtual Training Room Number Three."

Lu Jue took the package, carefully took out the candy box, and placed it close to his body.

After changing into basic combat gear, enter the virtual training room.

The room was empty, with only two rows of virtual pods standing quietly.

It's not the unified recruitment season now, so the only ones squeezed in for "combat assessment" besides Lu Jue are Su Mingxu, who looks haggard, sitting in the corner.

Su Mingxu had just climbed out of a virtual reality pod, his face pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat. He was panting heavily, staring at the bright red "83" on the screen at the top of the pod.

Seven points short... Seven points short of the passing grade required by His Highness!

He's been tortured here for a month!

Someone please save him!!!

Hearing footsteps, Su Mingxu numbly turned his head and saw Lu Jue being brought in by soldiers.

When he saw the tattoo on the other person's face, he curled his lip, a hint of disdain and gloom flashing in his eyes.

What is His Highness thinking?

I'm a top student at military academy, how can I be tested alongside such lowly creatures?

Lu Jue ignored his gaze and, at the soldier's signal, entered another virtual pod.

The hatch closed, and my consciousness was instantly connected to the virtual battlefield.

After resting for half an hour, Su Mingxu gritted his teeth and prepared to enter the virtual pod again.

As soon as he stood up, Lu Jue's virtual pod indicator light turned from red to green.

"So fast?"

The soldiers who brought Lu Jue were somewhat surprised.

Generally, the first time you conduct a real-world assessment, it takes a lot of time just to familiarize yourself with the battlefield.

Su Mingxu was also taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.

They were probably either so stupid they got crushed instantly, or they just gave up.

However, the next second, a bright red number popped up on the top of the virtual pod where Lu Jue was located.

98.

"...Whoa!"

Several military personnel guarding the headquarters couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "Passed in half an hour? Two points short of a perfect score? Not bad, kid!"

"First test? This tactical execution and individual combat capability assessment... is quite impressive."

Su Mingxu was struck dumb!

He looked at the "98" and then at the "83" on his own screen, his face turning red and white in turns, as if he had been slapped hard in public.

How is that possible? A slave's combat assessment reached 98 points?! That's a full 15 points higher than what he's achieved after fighting so hard for so long!

"Click".

The virtual hatch opened, revealing a fine layer of cold sweat on Lu Jue's forehead and his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

High-intensity virtual combat is extremely taxing on both mental and physical strength, especially since he has to precisely control his power to avoid accidents caused by fluctuations in mental strength.

He jumped down, bracing himself against the bulkhead, and reached into his combat uniform pocket to pull out a candy box.

Several military personnel who were admiringly observing him: "..."

They watched as the young male, who had just scored near-perfect marks, popped a pink, star-shaped filled gummy candy into his mouth.

...The information says this guy is an S-class male who is almost twenty years old, right?

Silence fell upon everyone again.

The officer in charge of taking notes coughed. "Lu Jue, your assessment results are excellent. For the next week, you will undergo basic military regulations training, physical conditioning, and specialized combat training. You will be notified of the specific arrangements later. Now, go to your temporary dormitory."

Lu Jue nodded, carefully put away the candy box, and followed a soldier out of the training room.

……

In the empty house, Jiang Zhixia spent the night alone.

When I woke up the next day, I sat up with messy hair and a look of utter disappointment on my face.

It's not entirely because of loneliness.

She's an independent woman, after all, and living alone is no problem for her.

The problem is... Little White Flower is crying out for food in her dreams again.

Jiang Zhixia rubbed her temples in frustration.

What does this thing eat?

It has no mouth, no arms, and no legs. It occasionally wanders in her dreams and then starts crying out that it's hungry.

At least give her a hint, right?

She angrily got up, "666, prepare breakfast!"

"Yes, Master!" 666 cheerfully darted into the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Zhixia sat at the dining table, poking at the fried egg on her plate without any appetite.

The virtual screen of the personal computer next to me was lit up, and I tapped the dialog box for "Jiang Ting" with my fingertips.

"Brother, have you found out yet?"

Scrolling up, I saw this message almost every half hour, except when I was sleeping.

But there was no reply.

Jiang Zhixia pouted and poked another one over.

Don't try to fool her, brother.

She knew that finding out about the Lu family by following that information would be incredibly easy!

……

It rarely rains on Hailan Star, but on the day Jiang Zhixia left, it rained all day long, which was unusual.

When the weather cleared up the next day, the whole planet felt refreshed, as if it had been washed clean.

But inside the Jin family mansion, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

Jin Shasha's face was gloomy, and her fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, tapped the table repeatedly.

Jin Lan stood opposite her, cold sweat pouring down her back.

"Are you an idiot? You give that useless princess whatever she wants, don't you know you need to ask me before accessing the mining records?!"

Jin Lan dared not refute, and could only lower her head and endure the patriarch's anger.

He never expected that the mining record would end up in the hands of the Crown Prince.

What was even more unexpected was that His Highness would actually start a thorough investigation of the Jin family just because of a mining record!

Starting yesterday, the Jin family's businesses have been hit one after another.

First, the military forcibly halted mining operations, and the hot spring area was also suspended from operation.

Several other businesses under the Jin family that are involved in ore processing have also received notices requesting their cooperation in the investigation.

Jin Shasha was furious.

She is an S-class female, a rare find in the entire empire.

From childhood to adulthood, thanks to her high-level spiritual power and outstanding family background, she was always the center of attention wherever she went, and had never been targeted like this before.

After giving Jin Lan a thorough dressing-down, Jin Shasha leaned back in her chair, her brows furrowed.

Was this thorough investigation Jiang Ting's own idea?

...It doesn't matter, anyway, the royal family will cover for her.
