Weren't You Hiring Me to Mine? (Interstellar)
Sha Zhou Ta Cui
Waking up, Ji Yunting found himself an orphan on a mining planet. Both parents gone, grandfather just passed. The mining planet was desolate, all industries in ruin. Ji Yunting couldn’t even understand the local language and script, barely surviving. With no survival skills, he could only dig for ore to earn a living. Then one day, a group of uniformed men arrived on the planet, offering him a high-paying job to mine at the border. Ji Yunting: ??? Dangerous, but high-paying… Ji Yunting: Defending the homeland fears no death—let’s go! The interstellar border was consumed by endless war, plagued by starbeasts. Besides soldiers resisting and exterminating them, there was another unique profession—mining engineers tasked with clearing starbeast carcasses and nests. And Ji Yunting became one of them. First day on the job. While others were still adapting to the mining mechs, he accidentally stabbed an antbeast nest with his mech, spearing a surviving antbeast out. Eyes sparkling, he asked, “Can we grill this bug?” Mu Jingyu, rushing to the rescue: “……” Everyone else: “……” Is this for real? Mu Jingyu, the Western Border Army’s legendary general, rose from obscurity to alliance general in just three years. They say he’s fearless in battle, charging through starbeast hordes like they were nothing. They say he’s stern and composed, issuing commands with ruthless efficiency. They say he’s decisive, never backing down in clashes with the chaotic political alliances… Truly, he was the undisputed scourge of the stars. Ji Yunting believed it—until he witnessed the man’s true nature and promptly un-stanned. Mu Jingyu: =。= Mu Jingyu: I can still salvage this!!
