Interstellar: Apocalypse Psychic Expert's Many Facets

Lu Manman, a powerful psychic from the apocalypse, awakens from a block of ice only to find herself directly in the interstellar era.

As a rare female and an unregistered citizen, Lu Manman c...

Chapter 153 The System Appears

Thinking about her highly sought-after abilities, Lu Manman turned over in frustration.

But she's just an ancient human who survived the apocalypse by sheer luck. With no power or influence, won't she be dissected by interstellar people as a life-saving medicine?

The road ahead is long and arduous, and I feel like crying but have no tears left.

If she were more ordinary, she might just marry a few more handsome men, spend her days among a few galactic heartthrobs, rub her abs, enjoy life, and have some kids along the way.

An autopsy is unlikely.

Or perhaps, if I hadn't chosen to sell fruit to make money in the first place, I wouldn't be in such a passive situation.

Sigh! If she could do it all over again, she would definitely… well! Even if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't know how useful her superpowers were in interstellar space, and she would still use them secretly, only to be discovered…

Alas! There's no solution!

Lu Manman turned over uncomfortably.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Cheer up, you still have me, don't you?"

A haughty, childlike voice shot straight to the top of Lu Manman's head, and she instinctively hugged her skull.

That voice… Lu Manman was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she seemed to have a system.

"Aren't you that system... what's it called again?"

System: "Hey! You idiot! You actually forgot about me? Do you still want your reward?"

The road ahead is long: ...

How dare they call him an idiot! But the reward... Lu Manman's brain raced...

The era was too long ago, and there were too many things to remember; Lu Manman simply couldn't recall them.

But he said the truth: "I want it, I want it, so what's the reward?"

System: "This reward is already yours: a genuine identity that belongs to you and cannot be detected in any way."

The elderly man on the subway looked at his phone for a long time, and finally asked uncertainly, "Is it what I think?"

System: "Yes, that's right, just as you thought. Gu Liang's identity is legitimate and truly belongs to you."

Lu Manman: "...Um, if I may ask, what does this have to do with you?"

System: "Hmph! I said I have it, so I have it. Anyway, I've already kept my promise to you."

Wow, you're really amazing!

"Of course!"

"Then could you help me erase everyone's memories of me? This time I will definitely keep a low profile and never use my superpowers again. My ability is too weird in this interstellar space, so weird that I'm a little scared."

System: "...What are you thinking? I've never seen anyone as cowardly as you. You've been hiding for so long, and you still want to hide."

Upon hearing this, Lu Manman replied confidently, "Being a little cowardly is not shameful in order to live a good life."

System: "Fine, fine. Do you want to live openly and honestly in the interstellar world, without worrying about anyone plotting against you?"

Lu Manman nodded, "Of course I want to! Otherwise, do you think I like to hide? But... are you really sure you can do it?"

"What are you saying! Do you still need to question my abilities?" The system was quite displeased with Lu Manman's questioning.

Lu Manman nodded honestly. Apart from online privacy protection, it seemed that the system hadn't given her anything else.

System: "...I don't make a move unless it's a powerful one. Now the opportunity has come, it's up to you to seize it."

"Zun Du or fake Du? Tell me about it." Thinking about the first time she received the invisibility reward, Lu Manman felt that she could still have some expectations for the system.

System: "Really, but there are quite a few tasks to do, and the details are unclear. Just remember to always act on the side of justice, and you will get what you want."

Lu Manman: "...Wow! What a huge pancake! I'm afraid I can't digest it."

System: "...In short, I've already said it all, believe it or not. And I have some good news for you. Now, if you need anything, just call me, and I can appear depending on my mood. From now on... you're no longer all alone."

Lu Manman: "Oh, if you appear, will you help me?"

System: "Your thinking is really wrong. You must remember that relying on mountains will lead to their collapse, and relying on water will lead to its flow. Only relying on yourself is the way to go."

Lu Manman: "...Then what use are you to me?"

The system coughed. "But I'm in a good mood now, so I can answer some of your questions."

Upon hearing this, Lu Manman retorted without any politeness, "What's your name again, System?"

What name did it give itself again? I just made it up randomly back then, I've forgotten!

The system hesitated for a moment, then finally said simply, "...Too simple to answer, next!"

Lu Manman was somewhat suspicious. "You haven't even forgotten yourself, have you? I've known for a long time that something's wrong with you."

The system said impatiently, "Do you still want to ask? I'm very powerful. If you don't want to ask, I'm leaving."

Fine! I'll strip you bare one day.

Lu Manman didn't press the matter further, but there was one thing she was quite curious about: "Is Leng Erya a time traveler or an ancient human like me who has survived to this day for some special reason?"

"This..." The system hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "She is a transmigrator."

Just as expected, judging from her posts, she doesn't seem like someone from interstellar space; she looks more like a pre-apocalyptic Earthling.

And Leng Erya is quite popular online right now.

Besides her stunning beauty, Leng Erya's popularity is mainly due to netizens' perception of her contributions to interstellar travel.

Some of the high-octane scenes from the video of Lu Manman's epic battle against the Zerg Queen somehow leaked out, shocking the entire internet!

[My goodness, someone is actually this amazing... This is beyond my comprehension. I seriously doubt this video is fake.]

[One person fighting against so many Zerg Queens, that's amazing, I'm speechless. Seriously, how did those plants and water elements work so well for her? Do we even have someone with that kind of skill? Is this photoshopped?]

[It must be photoshopped. How could so many Zerg queens besiege one person? And these plants and water really look fake.]

[...]

There was a flood of doubts online, but someone quickly stepped forward to speak out.

[This is true; many people have said so. If it were fake, it would have been taken down by the platform long ago.]

[As a seasoned visual effects artist, I can say with certainty that this video is definitely not photoshopped.]

[Now you know why the army was so powerful back then, right? It's because she single-handedly wiped out most of the Zerg Queens, severely crippling the Zerg forces.]

[Holy crap! Awesome!]

[...]

More and more people are standing up to present the facts and reason, saying that this is not false, and everyone is gradually accepting this fact.

[Oh my god, there really are people this amazing! How can anyone acquire such an ability? It's so incredibly cool!]

[Look closely, isn't this the woman on the wanted poster? Is she really that powerful? Is that why they're offering a 10 billion bounty on her?]

[So the few years of peace we've had are all because of her; she's practically our savior!]

[My sister killed me! She's so beautiful and cool! From now on, she's my only idol.]

[Oh my god, why did this video have to come out so late? I want to watch it every day.]

[This ability to manipulate plants—look, some plants even bore fruit the instant they grew! Could she be the shop owner?]

[The analysis upstairs makes sense; the time between this war and the shop owner's disappearance is close...]

[But that doesn't make sense either. According to the time shown in the video, the person in the video was attending a blind date at that point, and her name was something like Leng Erya.]

[Could it be that these aren't the same person, but just look alike?]
