After a brief exchange, Xia Jin returned to her ship.
A day later, she announced that she could act as a representative to enter the heart of their civilization.
“I have obtained the necessary authority from the Zerg Queen. Please take me to your home planet.”
“It would be our honor.”
On the surface, Xia Jin appeared to be herself, accompanied by a few followers.
In reality, she was playing a small trick.
She had stored an immense amount of energy within her body and was carrying micro-larva units recently developed by Brain Bug No. 1.
The cost of these micro-larvae was actually much higher than that of normal Zerg, so they could not be hatched at will.
In fact, they could be considered individuals that carried a significant portion of Xia Jin’s own genes.
At a critical moment, by injecting her own energy, she could make a larva grow rapidly until it eventually matured into a young girl.
This girl would, naturally, be a projection of Xia Jin.
...
The starship began its voyage.
Its speed was faster than that of the Zerg ships. Clearly, in terms of spatial navigation technology, the Kawi Civilization was currently far more advanced than the Zerg.
However, this level of lead meant little in Xia Jin’s eyes.
Once the Zerg Hive was upgraded by at most one more level, the gap would be closed.
“The ship will need to travel for two months to reach our destination. Does the Zerg lady have preparations for hibernation?”
“No.”
Xia Jin shook her head.
This so-called hibernation was essentially the cryogenic technology often mentioned on Earth in her previous life.
Because space travel took so long, or because people desired longer lifespans to see the future, they would use methods like lowering temperatures to stop the body’s metabolism. They would then be thawed in the future when needed, allowing them to wake up.
The principle of this technology seemed simple, but it was actually quite difficult to achieve.
The first challenge hibernation faced was the freezing of bodily fluids, which could destroy cellular structures.
After all, the process of freezing itself caused volume expansion.
Another issue was how to wake up after thawing.
Many bodies suffered brain damage the moment they left the low-temperature environment.
Judging by the Kawi Civilization’s situation, they were already able to use this technology with relative ease.
For the next two months, Xia Jin’s projection waited on the ship out of sheer boredom.
Finally, she reached her destination.
As the ship slowly descended onto a massive spaceport, Xia Jin found herself receiving a warm welcome.
“The meeting of two civilizations is no small matter. Our contact has not yet been made public to the civilians.”
“That is exactly what I hoped for,” Xia Jin nodded.
In her line of sight, the port itself did not look particularly special, other than its massive size.
The ground was a metallic silver, as smooth as a mirror, giving it a very sci-fi feel.
In the distance were giant buildings.
For instance, there was a spherical building in view that likely reached six hundred meters in diameter.
While the two sides were communicating and Xia Jin’s projection was being invited elsewhere, she stealthily dropped a micro-larva that had not yet grown.
The larva sprouted a pair of tiny wings and flew into the air.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong. The larva safely reached a certain district and then began receiving energy directly from Xia Jin through the Swarm network.
A few minutes later, a cute, beautiful girl was born.
To distinguish her, this body did not have white hair, but was a black-haired girl.
Through her psionic sensing, she found no cameras.
She breathed a sigh of relief and began walking toward the exit of the alley.
She hadn’t gone many steps before she came face to face with a man.
The two of them almost collided... or so it seemed.
In reality, her psionic power had already detected him. At the moment they were about to bump, Xia Jin lightly turned her body and dodged him.
“I am sorry.”
The man hurried to apologize.
But when he saw Xia Jin’s face, he froze.
The petite girl looked up and gazed at him earnestly.
With her long, straight black hair flowing down and her snowy, cute face paired with a perfect girlish figure, she left the man stunned for quite a while.
By then, the girl had already skirted around him and was walking into the distance.
“That girl...”
He frowned.
Could genetic modification really make someone look that beautiful?
It was like how people in reality could never look like characters from the 2D world.
Even though screens could display such images, no matter how much one fussed or had plastic surgery, it was impossible to turn oneself into one of those characters.
Yet Xia Jin seemed to have broken that barrier.
She was a girl who was almost impossible to believe could exist in reality.
