Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 407 The Little Rascal in the Interstellar Junkyard 8

A-1 star,

Di Ning lay on the soft bed, expecting the most peaceful night after a long period of mental tension. But she kept her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling. She had done it... she hadn't let her parents down, and with her excellent observation skills and composure, she had received treatment many times stronger than she had imagined.

However, the same pair of equally bright twins who were taken to Planet A to meet her "new mother" were also left behind. Not only that, but under the guise of accompanying her in her studies and growth.

The three of them ate and lived together, and their courses were exactly the same. The only thing I did was get a hug from Xi Qingyan's mother; I wasn't changed my name or registered in the household, nor was I taken outside the manor to meet anyone other than the staff.

It seems that she was chosen consciously, but only because she had no sisters and was isolated by the other two.

Di Ning dared not doubt it, but she couldn't help but wonder if she might be replaced by the real twins if she didn't perform well one day.

Today marked the end of her first lesson. There were no quizzes and no one mocked her. It simply described the current situation on Planet A, future curriculum plans, and some common sense and taboos.

but,

The difference between Di Ning and the sisters who grew up on Planet B is still visibly large.

Even if they aren't particularly outstanding individually, they always complement each other effortlessly. The sisters are in sync, and one plus one is greater than two; these are all areas where I lack.

In particular, through previewing the book, Di Ning discovered that all the important figures in the God Kingdom in the book had brothers and sisters.

They often achieve honors in multiple fields.

Although no one ever taught her, the children who grew up on Planet F had no concept of a large family. They were born into privilege and were considered the best in the area, able to receive interstellar subsidies effortlessly and live in the envy of the people around them.

Only those who are capable of reproduction are qualified to dream of leaving the chaotic planet and changing the course of their lives.

However, Di Ning keenly perceived an undisclosed truth: the more powerful a force is, the more it needs to maintain its cohesion through bloodlines. Among the families currently in high positions, those that lack multiple heirs are either destined to be gradually absorbed or forced to actively assimilate into another family.

Xi Qingyan faced such a situation.

She has siblings, but they are not of one mind; it's time to filter out the core resources.

However, due to her naiveté in her youth, she was easily tricked into handing over her biological twins. As a result, she can neither offend the other party to get her bargaining chips back, nor does she have a recognized multiple birth to participate in the family competition.

Everyone assumed that she wasn't power-hungry or easily manipulated.

By the time they truly learn to face their grand ambitions and recognize their own aspirations, they've already lost their children.

In this way, she intends to use someone else's strength against them.

By actively integrating into the Yu family, she first established that she had leverage, and then distanced herself from the Xi family.

If Yu Sui cooperates, their combined family will become independent. Perhaps the victor from the Xi family will come knocking, wanting to negotiate a partnership with the Yu family through Xi Qingyan.

After all, with the threat to themselves eliminated, it was a good time to launch a counterattack.

Xi Qingyan is patient and can also raise offspring. Even if the sale doesn't go through, she can still be an assistant.

She has this confidence: children rescued from lower-level planets should cherish this one in a million opportunity.

Originating from Planet B and Planet F, there is little difference; from Planet A and above, they are all like ants.

Who cares which ant was born from whom?

Therefore,

Di Ning will gradually come to understand that the difference in background between her and the sisters is not important; what matters is the power of mutual trust.

She couldn't help but think of her neighbor, Xia Youmi.

The fragments of her memories were beginning to blur, but Xia Youmi always seemed to need care and attention. Di Ning couldn't recall whether she had bullied her, and that didn't matter; what mattered was that she had brought Xia Youmi to her side.

Given such a great opportunity to change her fate, the other party will at least obediently listen to her, right?

She doesn't need to be particularly smart; as long as she obediently accepts the care as her younger sister, she'll be grateful, right?

These thoughts are gradually deepening as the sisters unite.

After she secured the top spot in the test, Xi Qingyan came to visit them and asked about the reward. Di Ning expressed her longing, as she was concerned about her sister who had disappeared.

In particular, seeing how close the two sisters were, she only dared to secretly grieve that her younger sister wasn't there. The brief conversation emphasized that the younger sister was obedient, well-behaved, and delicate.

Di Ning, who was still inexperienced, naturally did not notice the deeper meaning in Xi Qingyan's eyes. She seemed to have spoken cryptically, not asking for any reagents or jewelry, nor slandering others. "Mom" must think she was very generous and sensible, right?

In the end, Xi Qingyan simply patted Di Ning's head without making any promises.

However, the atmosphere in the classroom has changed.

The sisters are no longer seen as complements to each other; they are expected to compete and oppose each other. On the surface, they will comply, but in private, the fact that their true interests are not threatened only strengthens their bond.

Di Ning was quite uneasy about this for a while, and secretly considered Xi Qingyan to be a maximum threat.

In addition,

The "father" Yu Sui, who never showed his face, did send people to deliver various supplies. It wasn't just simple appeasement or bribery; among them were many common-sense books, as well as medicines beneficial to health and a nutritionist.

This was a hundred times more genuine than Xi Qingyan's concern.

She also treated Di Ning differently from the twin sisters, with many things reserved for Di Ning. Her diet and training plan were completely tailor-made, something even a perceptive servant could notice.

Yu Sui is truly raising Di Ning in the way that high-ranking officials raise their children.

This was more effective than any admonition, and all the teachers began to take it seriously.

Di Ning's ability and intensity in absorbing knowledge far exceeded the average level. This greatly surprised the Xi and Yu families, and they gradually turned their attention to another person.

Since there's a genius among them, their twin sister shouldn't be too bad either.

According to Di Ning, her sister seems to be a mascot, easier to control than her.

Leaving aside the Xi family for now, the Yu family is interested.

What they need isn't an ambitious woman like Xi Qingyan—Di Ning is clearly similar to her. What they need is a valuable but submissive daughter who can continuously extract benefits from other families.

at last,

The Water Mirror Association took the lead and sent a more formal representative to investigate Xia Youmi's whereabouts.

Now, news has been reported that she was dumped in the landfill and may still be alive.

To this end, they also brought flight instruments specifically designed to detect surviving life forms, and a seemingly unavoidable search headed towards the F-35 junkyard where Xia Youmi was located.

Unfortunately, there are two other teams that are so formal, well-known, and influential.

Regardless of the purpose, the location is the same, so a conflict is bound to take place first to set the stage.

Xia Youmi will not wait idly; the restlessness of the lower-level staff alone is enough to explain everything.

First, settle the guards in. Then, install the pre-assembled jamming devices in the most strategically important locations. She wants to have something to rely on to prevent anyone from leaving if they seem hostile.

She wasn't the only one trying to piece together hope from ruins; they had no reason to back down.
