How could a great person lose face in front of so many people? Absolutely not!
As soon as these words were spoken, louder laughter erupted from the surroundings.
"Oh my god, she wants to do it again? Does she think she hasn't suffered enough humiliation?"
"It's just self-humiliation. Hurry and let her do it, let her be completely despairing!"
"Haha, I second that."
The teacher in charge of testing spiritual power could only let Qiao Ci try again.
Spiritual power is divided into D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS levels. D is the lowest, and SSS is the highest. Qiao Ci's previous reading of 0 meant she had no spiritual power at all. Her sister, Qiao Xi, had tested SSS level just before her, making her a super genius with nearly maxed-out spiritual power. At this moment, Qiao Xi stood in a corner not far away, arms crossed, observing Qiao Ci with a calm and leisurely demeanor.
"Sister Xi, why is there such a huge difference between people?"
"What difference? Qiao Ci is even worthy of being compared to our Sister Xi? Sister Xi is destined to become a female general to conquer the insect race. What is Qiao Ci? Just a parasite of our empire."
Qiao Xi merely smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying their words. Seeing that one insult wasn't enough for Qiao Ci and she wanted to endure a second, she turned and left. The small followers beside her didn't bother to watch Qiao Ci's humiliation any further and quickly followed.
Meanwhile, after restarting the test, Qiao Ci placed her hand back on the psionic testing intelligence. She input a sliver of spiritual power. The level displayed on the intelligence did not light up. The surrounding people burst into laughter again.
"Haha, I knew it, even testing a hundred more times wouldn't... work... huh?"
The person speaking was stunned as they looked at the thermometer-like display on the intelligence. It suddenly shot up to SSS. Before everyone could even react in surprise, the intelligence suddenly went black and crashed!
Qiao Ci: ... Oh no, I didn't control my spiritual power well and directly destroyed the intelligence.
The suspicious gazes of the crowd fixed on Qiao Ci, as if trying to understand if the intelligence was faulty or if Qiao Ci truly possessed SSS level... Qiao Ci calmly walked off the stage and returned to her dormitory at school, following the guidance of the little spoon.
"Receive plot."
This is a world derived from a sci-fi novel. The female lead is Qiao Xi. She and the original host are sisters. The original host was incredibly talented, the only SSS spiritual power genius in the entire galaxy. Qiao Xi, on the other hand, was an unknown little nobody with only B-level spiritual power. Watching the original host showered with honor and parental affection, Qiao Xi was filled with envy. To gain the same parental love and prove she could also bring glory to the family, Qiao Xi, upon learning that the insect race would launch another large-scale attack on Blue Star, disregarded military discipline and rushed to the front lines to earn merit, only to be crushed to death by tens of thousands of insect creatures. Her demise was incredibly tragic.
Upon reincarnation, she returned to her childhood and unexpectedly gained an opportunity to choose her talent. She unhesitatingly chose the original host's talent. Fearing that her B-level talent might give the original host a chance to rise again, she crippled all her own abilities before exchanging all her talents with the original host.
The original host is eighteen years old today. When it was time to test spiritual power, the seventeen-year-old Qiao Xi was supposed to be tested as well. One with spiritual power of 0, the other with spiritual power of SSS, the contrast was stark. Faced with the mocking expressions of the crowd, the original host found it somewhat unbearable. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and decided to pursue a path in politics. Yet, due to Qiao Xi's obstruction, the original host's path to politics was fraught with thorns, ending in failure. Qiao Xi had been overshadowed by the original host's brilliance for too long; in this life, she wanted the original host to become a good-for-nothing and be ridiculed her entire life. She would not allow the original host to succeed in anything she attempted.
The original host eventually died, even more tragically than Qiao Xi. Only then did Qiao Xi finally let go of her obsession and focus on her own career. Qiao Xi eventually became a female general of the empire, engaging in numerous wars against the insect race. By chance, she later lived happily ever after with Long Miexian, the Insect Emperor, who was her equal. After the original host's death, her soul drifted in the world. Upon learning that Qiao Xi had stolen her talent, she was filled with resentment. Furthermore, seeing that after Qiao Xi's union with the insect race, the insect race indirectly ruled Blue Star, causing the humans immense suffering, her resentment intensified...
"Original host's wish: Make Qiao Xi realize that she can never surpass me! If possible, please annihilate the insect race and return Blue Star to a world without external threats!!"
After reading the plot, Qiao Ci was utterly speechless. Such a person could be the female lead? Did she have to crush the original host in every aspect? Very well.
With the front-line soldiers under tension, those who passed the spiritual power test would begin learning to pilot mechs. In the plot, Qiao Xi, on her first trip to the battlefield, encountered Long Miexian, who was bored and pretending to be an ordinary insect. Seeing its shining golden body, which she found very appealing, she secretly tucked it into her pocket and brought it back to Blue Star. Raised by Qiao Xi, Long Miexian developed an unparalleled interest in this woman and often played pranks on the original host when they were at the Qiao family.
This time, although Qiao Ci tested SSS spiritual power, the intelligence was broken. With the brilliant performance before her, the teacher did not believe that Qiao Ci, who had always performed averagely, would have such high spiritual power. They maintained the original test result, stating Qiao Ci's spiritual power was 0. Qiao Ci had already proven her spiritual power was off the charts; regardless of whether they believed her, she would not test a third time. She wouldn't lower herself to do so!
Because her spiritual power test result was 0, Qiao Ci could not enter the mech piloting class. She turned and went to the mech research class. The mech research class was generally populated by more boys. Qiao Ci's arrival was a refreshing sight, as she was quite beautiful and the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Everyone welcomed her warmly. After all, the mech research class also needed a "vase" for decoration! However, this new classmate seemed a bit reclusive, disliking interaction and instead tinkering with mechs alone. The mech she was tinkering with was an outdated old mech, which was truly strange. Thinking she might have become somewhat abnormal due to being stimulated by not being able to compare to her sister Qiao Xi in all aspects, everyone simply let her be. During the break, Qiao Ci locked the half-modified mech she was working on and then excitedly went home.
At this time, Qiao Xi had already been to the battlefield once piloting a mech and had returned to the Qiao family with a miniaturized Insect Emperor. Upon seeing Qiao Ci return, Mother Qiao was furious. Qiao Xi had already informed her that Qiao Ci's spiritual power test was 0, and then she heard that she had broken the intelligence, likely because the intelligence couldn't handle such a weak spiritual power and had directly malfunctioned. Having such a useless daughter, Mother Qiao was teased multiple times by her old friends during mahjong games, with some sharp and sarcastic remarks even implying that Qiao Ci was not Father Qiao's child.
