She’s dominating the military academy league! [StarCraft]

Yan Changfeng is a transmigrator who arrived on Garbage Planet No. 5271, a desolate world where humans coexist with aggressive Insectoids and diverse Alien tribes. Bound to a system that converts scavenged trash into energy points, she possesses a unique ability to unlock talent and skill cards. Her original body is frail, suffering from a chronic lung disease, and she survives by collecting scrap metal in the planet’s landfill. The system is parasitic, automatically converting her earned Star Coins into energy, leaving her perpetually impoverished. After a year of struggling, she discovers that valuable mechanical parts and weapons from the dangerous No Man’s Land are classified as trash by the system, offering a faster path to power.

Her fortunes change when she encounters a pair of heavily armed poachers who have just killed a rare wild boar. After they flee an unknown threat, Yan Changfeng loots their gear, including laser rifles and a high-grade energy battery. The accumulated energy allows her to unlock the Normal Skill Card Pool, where she draws the Primary Talent "Spiritual Eyes." This passive ability enhances her visual perception, slowing down perceived movement and granting night vision, which significantly boosts her combat effectiveness. She also obtains a Physique Enhancer potion, which repairs her lung disease and strengthens her body, transforming her from a fragile scavenger into a capable fighter.

Shortly after gaining her new abilities, Yan Changfeng learns that authorities are conducting blood tests at the recycling station to hunt for fugitives. Suspecting the poachers she encountered are the targets, she flees the landfill. While hiding in an abandoned building, she is discovered by the poachers’ pursuers, who are revealed to be elite guards. She escapes by jumping from a window, breaking her arm, and hiding in a garbage truck that transports waste to the city. During her escape, she encounters a young girl named Jiang Xiaoyu, who is being hunted by silver wolves. Yan Changfeng saves the child using her Spiritual Eyes and new combat skills, taking her in temporarily.

As Yan Changfeng stays in the city, she realizes the girl is not an ordinary orphan but the daughter of a wealthy fleet commander. The pursuers tracking Yan Changfeng are actually bodyguards sent to retrieve the girl, who had stowed away on a starship and gone missing. A misunderstanding leads to a confrontation where Yan Changfeng is injured by the girl’s bodyguard, Mu Zhuang. Once the truth is revealed, Yan Changfeng is compensated with 500,000 Star Coins and an optical computer. She uses the money to purchase a ticket on a starship bound for Blue Star, leaving the garbage planet behind.

During the three-day voyage, Yan Changfeng connects to the Star Net Space, a holographic virtual reality. She enters a sword skill challenge instance, initially struggling due to ignorance of the controls. However, her innate combat instincts allow her to clear levels rapidly, breaking records and gaining attention in the virtual community. Her journey is interrupted when the starship is attacked by Insectoids. A massive warship emerges, releasing swarms of insectoid creatures. Yan Changfeng, despite her low mental power level, manages to link with the Insectoid mental network. She transmits a command to halt, delaying the attack for a critical moment. This act attracts the attention of a High-level Insectoid commander, who notices her presence in the network. The chapter ends with Yan Changfeng recovering from the mental strain, unaware that her actions have marked her as a significant anomaly to the Insectoid race.
