StarCraft: Another Future (1)



This is not any world she knows.

While Xia Yixin was in a coma, she had a very long and absurd dream. It was as if she had experienced another person's life, and coincidentally, a small part of that person's life was familiar to her. However, for that person, it was all fiction and creation.

"Xia! Wake up, wake up!" An anxious voice called out in my ear, along with the sounds of people coming and going.

Besides Li Rui's voice, there was another voice that surprised her.

“Her current condition is very unstable. The forced disconnection has begun to have some impact on her. Her current memories may not last long. The worst outcome is that she will believe that she is 'Xia Yixin' in there.”

The voice was slightly cold yet childlike, sounding like a violent little girl. Xia Yixin recognized it immediately—it was Hong Feng! Unfortunately, her eyelids felt incredibly heavy; she could only hear their voices but couldn't do anything about it.

Hongfeng's words drew a strong reaction from Li Rui.

“Hongfeng, I know what you mean, and I’m worried about that too. But Zhao Jing, who knows the experimental system best, was just transferred to Eden by her superiors, and we don’t know when she’ll be back. All we can do now is wait for her to wake up and see how things go. Fortunately, V has been with her the whole time and knows her specific situation…”

Hongfeng, Li Rui, Zhao Jing...

These familiar names gave Xia Yixin's memories, which were like fantastical dreams, a greater sense of reality.

Ultimately, she succumbed to the darkness.

When she regained consciousness, it was completely dark outside, and the entire room was dark except for the dim yellow light from the motion sensor lights.

When she opened her eyes, the electronic sensor light automatically turned up its brightness.

This was a simple, pure white room, so simple that there was nothing except for the bed she was sleeping in. The girl on the bed slowly sat up, and then she looked at her smooth right hand, on which was a white jade ring.

“V”.

As her deep, cold voice rang out, the lights in the room were turned up again, and a childish voice sounded.

"Master, you're awake. According to the system's detection, you've recovered 60% of your memories. Would you like me to explain some of them to you?"

Xia Yixin took a deep breath, pinched her brow, and manipulated the glass screen in the room with her mind, following the method she remembered.

In the blink of an eye.

One of the four pure white "curtain walls" was transformed back into floor-to-ceiling glass, revealing everything outside to her.

Dense cities, skyscrapers, and dazzling lights—if that were all, one might think it was just an ordinary city world.

But the silver hovercars gliding between the skyscrapers, the three gleaming moons in the sky, and even the distant view of a large umbrella-shaped spaceship, along with the city's edge as far as the eye could see, with its layers of lights descending like steps, all proved that this was a city in the sky.

Moreover, the entirely new memories flooding her mind told her that they weren't even on the original planet or in the galaxy she knew.

System V didn't get a reply for a long time, but it wasn't in a hurry. Instead, it thoughtfully popped up a table with a glass of water on it.

"Master, I suggest you drink some water. Your body's water balance is currently off, and your heart rate is too fast. Your memory hasn't fully recovered, but I need to remind you that you are Xia Yixin, the project leader of the RSM Future Research Laboratory in the Allied Nation, and the first high-level genetics professor among B-grade gene individuals. Dr. Xia, everything you experienced before was part of your research project. Please..."

"Mute." Xia Yixin's head was throbbing with pain, and she rudely interrupted V.

Silence fell in the room again. Through the glass, the vibrant flowers outside seemed both illusory and real.

Moreover, through the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling glass, she could see what she looked like now.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a slender and tall figure. She was wearing a pure white round-neck loungewear dress and had an ordinary face, at most considered pretty. At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes showed shock, bewilderment, and doubt.

This face is the image of her earliest self in her memory, the image of the original self she saw in the post-apocalyptic world. However, she is now thinner and whiter, looking as if she hasn't been exposed to the sun for a long time.

She now has two memories that are completely to the left in her brain. One is that of Xia Yixin, the one who suffered from muscular dystrophy, committed suicide in a fire, and later bound herself to the system, entered a different dimension, and fell in love with Lu Yan.

The other one, also named Xia Yixin, is a B-grade gene user and lives in the Allied Nation.

The Allied Nation is located on a planet in the T389 system named "Supernova," which is ten times the size of Earth in her memory, but now has only one-tenth the population of Earth.

The textbooks clearly state that three epochs ago, an unknown virus outbreak occurred on the primordial planet Lanmos, causing the extinction of more than 90% of the population and attracting attacks from interstellar predators.

Later, in order for the Blue Star people to escape the attack using the Dark Forest Law, two eras ago, the planet suffered a devastating attack. In order to seek new development, the surviving Blue Star people piloted the Eden with the spark of fire and began an interstellar journey that lasted for more than an era.

Until one era ago, they discovered the supernova in the T389 galaxy and formed the Alliance.

The people of Earth here have also undergone some changes.

Xia Yixin unconsciously looked at her right hand again. There was no black jade ring on her slender fingers, not even a storage ring. The white bracelet was marked with a string of numbers [B-0].

This is her identification number; the "B" at the beginning indicates that she is a B-level gene recipient.

An era ago, the Blue Star people arrived in this new star system. During their long voyage, they themselves changed and developed "psychic" abilities. To avoid the tragedy of previous destruction, the Blue Star people began a plan on the "Eden" - the Genetic Optimization Project.

The society as a whole is divided into three categories: A, B, and C, with a strict hierarchy. From the moment a child is born, their genes are analyzed and numbered.

Regardless of gender, A are physically strong and mentally powerful, all possessing an A+ grade or higher, with some even reaching 3S grade. They have perfect genes, strong resistance, and are upper-class members of the Allied Nations. From birth, they receive excellent medical and educational treatment, and upon reaching adulthood, they assume high-level management positions or highly paid combat roles, residing in the upper-class "Sky City."

They also have the right to wear mecha exoskeletons. Because the original body is too large and has strong destructive power, it is currently only presented in a virtual system, somewhat similar to a modern fighting game. However, this is only a benefit exclusively for A-level gene users. B-level gene users don't even have the chance to touch it.
