"Qi Lin, oh Qi Lin! What on earth are you daydreaming about?"
At this moment, Qi Lin was extremely annoyed.
She had acquired the legendary golden finger, the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of life, to stage an incredible comeback and become a rich and beautiful woman.
She would be the kind of flashy rich lady who seemed to breeze through life, followed by two black-clad henchmen!
With such conditions,
why was she still thinking about those damn men?
Isn't a youthful and cute sister fragrant?
Isn't a charming and seductive older sister good?
Slurp~~
Qi Lin slapped her chest with her hand, but instead of the usual softness, there was a strange metallic collision sound that rang out with a clang.
Just now,
faced with the invasion of that ugly enemy, it was this armor that had blocked the damage; otherwise, she would have certainly lost an arm.
Damn it.
If it were flattened, how would I ever discuss justice with others in the future?
Qi Lin suddenly thought of something and asked with nervous anticipation, "That thing called what again?"
"Sir, I am your Super Gene System, 108."
"Oh!" Realization dawned on Qi Lin, and she followed up with curious wide eyes, "Little Eight, what can you do? Can you make me whiter and improve my figure?"
The peculiar concerns of women.
108: ...
"Searching the database, no beauty module found, no body shaping module found, please update and load these yourself, host!"
"So, you mean you don't have it?"
Disappointment was evident in Qi Lin's eyes, but thankfully, she was still reasonable and empathetic. After all, little pets need to be coaxed; if you don't coax them, they don't listen to their master.
She spoke in a voice she believed was very gentle, "Little Eight, so what use can you be right now?"
"Sir, most of my functions have been lost over the long years, only a few remnants of civilization technology are left in the database, which I estimate to be several hundred years ahead of the current technology level explored by Earth."
Civilization technology?
Qi Lin immediately became cheerful, clapped her hands with excitement, and exclaimed, "That's great! I can just hand it over to the country. With such advanced civilization technology, I have long been irked by those foreigners!"
They weren't convinced after we beat seventeen of their factions in a row?
They still want to fight?
Screw them!
"Sir, after analysis by supercomputing, the probability of reconstructing the Three-Body Civilization is 0.006%. By handing over the Three-Body technology, the probability of reconstructing the Three-Body Civilization has risen to 0.1%. You have indeed made the correct choice."
"Wait a minute!"
Qi Lin's face was full of doubt, "How did you come up with this algorithm? I'm at least a proud university student from the police academy, a distinguished member of society's elite. How could I possibly only have a 0.006% probability?"
The more she talked, the less convinced she became.
"So what if my probability is low? I have the support of a country behind me, a massive national machine, the smartest and the hardest working. Just a bit of effort, and wouldn't rebuilding a so-called Three-Body Civilization be a piece of cake?"
"You're calculating the probabilities too low!"
Little Eight, oh Little Eight.
You're ultimately an artificial idiot.
Ignorant of the power of unity, not to mention the power of a nation. When a nation's will is driven by one person, the power that explodes forth is terrifying!
108 did not argue, but instead projected an image.
The vast starry sky could be seen, large space warships in motion, their massive hulls reflecting the austere sheen of metal, and the meteorites as large as hills being effortlessly shattered upon impact.
This caused Qi Lin to suddenly breathe rapidly.
Even if she had never seen such space warships fire, just the appearance alone, just the imagination of it, made her feel somewhat out of sorts, as if she had lost her soul.
It was truly terrifying!
This was a visual impact that could not be described with words.
It was a shock, but soon that shock turned into fright, into a pervasive despair that loomed at the back of her mind.
Just because.
Qi Lin saw those ugly monsters swarming within that enormous starship's interior, identical to the one that had almost killed her, the one she had killed in return.
Without a doubt.
These two types of monsters were in cahoots!
And that starship cruising through the cosmos was undoubtedly the enemy's main force, with Earth as their target.
They were planning to invade Earth!
"Alert the authorities, 108, hurry and sound the alarm!"
The only thought in Qi Lin's mind was to quickly report this, to put the entire nation on high alert, to have the citizens take cover immediately, to mobilize the military to protect the populace, to prepare, and to minimize casualties.
But her heart was filled with panic.
She looked up at the empty starry sky, as peaceful and serene as ever, yet the calmer it seemed, the paler Qi Lin's face grew, for a terrifying thought was haunting her.
Could humanity really win?
Even if they won, how many would die?
Her gaze was filled with panic, her mind a complete blank, for she was no longer the competent policewoman, but an ordinary person who had just learned of the outbreak of war.
In the moment of receiving this news.
Her heart was truly, truly heavy!
The next moment, Qi Lin was startled awake by her phone's ringtone, pulled from her apprehensions about the future. She heard 108's voice on the other end, "Sir, I have dialed the nearest police officer's number for you."
Qi Lin's brain froze for a second.
Then she couldn't help but laugh and cry a little, because the nearest officer was herself.
Calling herself to report the incident?
She let out a long sigh, comforting herself, "So what if the aliens invade? It's like the universe's big bang—work still has to be done. But now that the aliens are coming, will the property prices in Juxia City drop a bit? Damn it, three hundred thousand per square meter... Three hundred per square meter would be reasonable!"
She complained about the high housing prices in Juxia City and then worriedly asked, "108, do you have any way to help Earth's civilization defeat that alien civilization?"
108 did not reply.
In an instant, Qi Lin's vision blurred, and she found herself amidst a vast expanse of space, with countless celestial bodies and countless prostrating figures sweeping past her eyes.
In the direction those figures were bowing to,
was a colossal and vast celestial body.
At the peak of that planet,
stood a huge statue forged from mountain peaks.
Above that statue,
a man stood facing away from Qi Lin, seemingly gazing into the distance. As she looked towards the far-off spaces, her view kept zooming out, and she saw numerous vast starships approaching from afar.
Clearly,
this was a war between civilizations!
Intercivilizational warfare!
"Who is he?"
Qi Lin couldn't help but ask.
"The great emperor of the Trisolaran Empire, the creator of the Three-Body Civilization, the upholder of the cosmic order of justice..."
"Logic!"
The emperor of the Three-Body Civilization...
Qi Lin instantly felt respect, for the emperor of any civilization was an incredible figure, unreachable by ordinary people.
But quickly,
her respect dissipated like smoke.
It was because she realized the so-called emperor of the Three-Body Civilization, Logic, turned out to be a joker.
Faced with the enemy's densely packed starships, he actually pulled out a...
Glass ball?
A water droplet-shaped glass ball?
Pfft! What a joker!
