Chapter 2521: A Garbage-Dumping Planet

The air was filled only by noxious fumes.

Ning Shu had tried to absorb the spiritual energy in the air with almost all of her strength, but she couldn’t absorb any.

Ning Shu’s eyeballs were already about to burst.

She had no food to eat, and no spiritual energy to absorb, either.

Indeed, there wasn’t even dirt that she could eat here. Garbage was all there was.

Ning Shu felt a tragic premonition that she would die before she could complete this task.

Ning Shu sadly began to receive the storyline.

Planet Sehlde was a garbage planet. It had no energy source or mines. Even if it had any metal which could be used for making mecha components, it had all long been mined away.

As such, this planet had no value at all.

As a result, it became a garbage-dumping planet.

Almost every garbage from the interstellar system would end up here.

There were still some people living on this planet, though. They were the original inhabitants who had no way to leave the planet.

There was no food nor clean water in this place.

The water had been polluted by the endless mountains of garbage.

The sky was always gloomy here. There had never been such a thing as blue sky and white clouds on Planet Sehlde.

The people who lived on this planet only looked forward to one thing, which was to leave this place and live somewhere else.

However, they didn’t have any advanced spaceship that could bring them away, and the distance between planets could not be crossed with ordinary means.

As such, the foreign spacecraft that came from time to time to dump garbage from their planets became a beacon of hope for the people living on Planet Sehlde.

Setting aside the fact that there might be food in the trash the spacecraft was going to dump, the spacecraft might also take them away from Planet Sehlde.

However, people from other planets held contempt and disdain for the natives of Planet Sehlde. They never even thought of taking these people away from the planet.

Who would care about these people, who lived like a bunch of rats? They viewed the people who lived on Planet Sehlde as rats who lived on their garbage.

Each time, they would just haughtily fly over the planet, pour their endless garbage down, and never land.

The original host was named Alyssa. She was a native of Planet Sehlde. She was turning twelve this year.

However, due to the starvation that she’d experienced, she was relatively short for her age.

Alyssa had a younger brother, who was about ten years old. However, his legs were disabled and so he couldn’t walk at all.

Their parents died early in their lives. The air and water supply in Planet Sehlde were severely polluted, and food there was also scarce. People living in this environment naturally had a very short lifespan.

Now, Alyssa and her younger brother could only rely on each other to survive.

Since her younger brother was disabled, Alyssa had to shoulder both of their livelihoods alone.

Every day, she’d dig through the garbage heaps, scavenging in hopes of finding something that they could eat.

Even if she did find something, though, it could be snatched away from her by others. That was what Ning Shu, who had just arrived in this task world and was deeply confused, experienced.

Whenever she was robbed, Alyssa and her brother would go hungry for the day.

Originally, Alyssa thought that she and her younger brother would meet the same fate as their parents in this life. They would die young, and their bodies would end up buried somewhere within the piles of garbage.

However, one day, people from an unknown planet came to Planet Sehlde and gathered everyone.

They tested each person’s mental strength. If someone had a strong enough mental strength, they would take that person away from this dirty planet that was Planet Sehlde.

Alyssa’s younger brother didn’t participate in the test because of his legs.

Alyssa, though, went. Surprisingly, her mental strength was good and she reached the A-rank.

Although she didn’t reach the top S-rank mental strength, she was already considered good enough, especially considering that she was from Planet Sehlde.

As such, Alyssa got the opportunity to leave Planet Sehlde and train as a mecha pilot.

Alyssa asked the people who were taking her away to also take her brother.

However, no matter how much she begged, they just wouldn’t agree to it.

Alyssa had to leave Sehlde by herself.
