Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...
Three days later, Xia Qingqing followed Morris and the others onto the spaceship bound for Saloma.
This spaceship is the Marshal's personal spaceship. It is not very big, but it is not small either. It can accommodate more than a thousand people at the same time.
It has a restaurant, bedrooms, training rooms, meeting rooms and other facilities.
Xia Qingqing sat by the window, gazing intently at the scenery outside. The colorful planets and the vast universe gave her a mysterious and dreamlike feeling.
Glek leaned closer: "Qingqing, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the scenery, don't you think the scenery outside is very attractive?" Xia Qingqing said lazily, resting her chin on her hand.
Glek glanced out the window in confusion: "It's alright, it's been like this for years."
Xia Qingqing looked slightly embarrassed. So, the scenery that she thought was very rare was commonplace in Glek's eyes?
She turned her gaze away from the window and changed the subject, saying, "Aren't you busy? You have time to chat with me here."
“No problem, the Marshal is on official business, and there’s no danger on the spaceship. We can move around freely,” Glek said.
Their primary mission as bodyguards was to protect the Marshal's safety. There would be no fools on the spaceship who would attack the Marshal; at most, they might encounter a space pirate.
However, the spaceship they were on bore the Marshal's exclusive mark, and ordinary space pirates wouldn't dare approach it, unless it was the Marshal's mortal enemy, the most famous space pirate in the entire galaxy—Grey.
When Xia Qingqing heard him mention space pirates, she showed a very interested expression: "So powerful? They actually dared to provoke the Marshal?"
"Impressive my foot! If it weren't for that little bastard Gray always running faster than a rabbit, he would have been caught by the Marshal and thrown into the interstellar prison long ago," Gray said disdainfully.
He was a big fan of the Marshal, so naturally he deeply hated the Marshal's mortal enemy.
It's unclear whether Gray has a knack for jinxing things, but right after he finished telling Xia Qingqing about Gray, the spaceship experienced a jolt.
Caught off guard, Xia Qingqing nearly fell off the chair, but luckily Glek caught her in time.
"What happened?" Xia Qingqing asked, her voice filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Glek's expression was somewhat grave: "The spaceship was attacked, but it's not a big problem. Clean up your room, I'm going to find the captain."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away, leaving Xia Qingqing standing there dumbfounded.
Before she could think any further, the spaceship was attacked again, and she could only barely hold onto the table to keep herself in place.
This situation lasted for about ten minutes before the spaceship finally returned to stability.
"Miss Xia, are you alright?"
Xia Qingqing shook her head at Xize: "I'm fine. What just happened?"
"It was just a coward's provocation, nothing to worry about," Xize said casually, not taking the incident to heart at all.
Under Xia Qingqing's curious questioning, he briefly explained the matter.
It turned out that Gray had somehow found out about Morris's itinerary and deliberately flew his spaceship to launch a sneak attack.
However, the spaceship they were on was an S-class ship, whose defensive and offensive capabilities were unmatched by ordinary spaceships. Gray didn't actually expect to seriously injure Morris; he just wanted to annoy him.
"Are space pirates really that childish?" Xia Qingqing's expression was somewhat complicated.
Xize chuckled: "Miss Xia, that's a good description. That guy is indeed very childish, and he pulls this kind of stunt all the time."
Xia Qingqing noticed that there was no disgust in his words, and guessed that the guy named Gray probably had some other connection with Morris.
Otherwise, given Morris's status in interstellar space, he would have been able to defeat a mere interstellar pirate group even if he had to fight with all his might.
The spaceship traveled for a day and a night. Even the most beautiful scenery can become tiresome after a while. Just when Xia Qingqing couldn't sit still any longer, they finally arrived at Saloma.
After disembarking from the spaceship, Morris assigned two bodyguards to protect Xia Qingqing, and then left in a hovercar with Xize and the remaining bodyguards.
Glek was one of the two bodyguards protecting Xia Qingqing. The other one was named Noel, who was tall and handsome, but rather taciturn. After introducing himself, he didn't say another word.
Glek looked at Xia Qingqing and asked, "Is there anywhere you want to go? Where should we go now?"
"I've never been here before. Have you two been? Could you recommend it?" Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
Glek shrugged: "This is my first time here too."
“I know,” Noel suddenly said.
Xia Qingqing looked at him in surprise, and Noel explained in a low voice, "My maternal grandfather's house is here. I came here a few times when I was a child."
"That's great! Noel, we'll be counting on you for the next three days," Xia Qingqing said with delight.
Noel's handsome face flushed slightly, and he nodded gently: "Mm."
Xia Qingqing and Glek spent three days with Noel on Saloma, where Noel took them out to eat, play, and explore.
To commemorate the trip, Xia Qingqing even found a Polaroid camera in the system's inventory and took many photos during her travels.
Even after Maurice finished his business and was about to return home, the three of them were still somewhat reluctant to leave.
After this wonderful experience, Xia Qingqing spent the next two months traveling to more than a dozen planets of varying sizes around the Imperial Star.
Since she could no longer hitch a ride on Morris's spaceship, she had to buy spaceship tickets on the StarNet. Whenever this happened, she would thank Morris and Caesar. If it weren't for their help in getting her an identity card, she probably wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.
As a token of gratitude, Xia Qingqing would buy many souvenirs and send them to the two of them wherever she went.
Well, if we disregard the fact that Morris paid for the souvenirs, the main point is the sentiment behind it.
The last planet Xia Qingqing visited was called Hundred Flowers Star. The climate on this planet was particularly suitable for plant growth, and beautiful flowers of various colors could be seen everywhere. Even the houses were built among the flowers.
Every day when Xia Qingqing opens her window, she can see a whole sea of beautiful flowers outside, and instantly all the fatigue of the day disappears.
She stayed on this planet for five days, and when she woke up on the morning of the sixth day, she found herself in a different place.
This time, she appeared in the reeds by a small river. About fifty meters away from her, several women dressed in coarse linen clothes were washing clothes.
Xia Qingqing didn't rush out, but first found a pink dress in the system warehouse and changed into it.
