NOVEL NEXT Chapter 80 - Biography
The main difference between practicing martial skills and mental meditation is that while practicing martial skills, Mai Dongzi never misses a meal.
The cafeteria at the Special Talent Training Center serves a daily meal consisting of one vegetable dish, one meat dish, one fruit, and a large, light-green bun.
Apart from the unchanging light green bun, the other three items vary. The vegetables and mutant beast meat are different at each meal, and Mai Dongzi can only distinguish them once they are in her mouth. The fruit, however, is easily recognizable at a glance.
On the third day of Mai Dongzi’s stay at the Special Talent Training Center, she encountered two other young men during lunch.
These two boys, who appeared younger and from seemingly better backgrounds than Mai Dongzi ,Ye Zhengyan and Booker Qiao, had a somewhat haughty attitude.
Although they greeted Mai Dongzi politely when she entered the cafeteria, they had no intention of conversing with her. Naturally, Mai Dongzi had no interest in initiating a conversation with them.
After meals at the cafeteria, the robotic servers no longer scanned Mai Dongzi as they did the first time. Instead, as soon as she sat down, the robot that had previously served her would proactively bring her the food.
After diligently practicing, Mai Dongzi had finally mastered the combat skills taught by General Su in just three days.
That night, as Mai Dongzi, who rarely went to bed early, finally recalled General Su’s question about whether she had changed her name to Mai Dongzi because she admired General Mai Dongzi from the end of the last century.
At that time, her focus was entirely on handling General Su’s tests. Although she had heard and remembered the mention of General Mai Dongzi, she hadn’t had the time to think deeply about it, and she later forgot about it amidst her busy training.
Given that this world might be similar to the one in books, Mai Dongzi didn’t believe that the General Mai Dongzi being referred to was her from her previous life.
However, the name alone piqued her interest, and it was also an opportunity to explore the history of this world from over a thousand years ago.
Mai Dongzi first searched for information about General Mai Dongzi from the end of the last century on the star network, and a large amount of information immediately appeared.
Among these were biographies, films, and related posts.
Mai Dongzi saw a biography from the fifty-year anniversary of the Star Era, and looking at the glamorous and spirited woman on the cover, she didn’t know whether to be disappointed or relieved.
She quietly looked at herself in the mirror to see her current appearance.
Speaking of appearance, Mai Dongzi suspected that her rebirth might not have been an accident, as her current body’s features resembled her previous life’s appearance by about fifty to sixty percent.
However, pure-blooded people were rare in this world, and most people were mixed-race.
In her previous life, she had black hair and black eyes. In this body, she had deep blue eyes and black hair, which looked even better than in her previous life.
But whether in her previous life or this one, her appearance had nothing to do with being glamorous; it could only be described as a delicate beauty.
Originally, she had a somewhat soft and pure aura, but after Mai Dongzi arrived, this purity gradually faded, revealing a more resilient and spirited demeanor, resembling her previous life more.
So, this was just a female general with the same name as her.
Mai Dongzi glanced at the content of the biography and paid two credit coins for it. The content… she could only say it was the biography of a great figure. Anyway, in her previous life, she didn’t have such a multitude of deeds.
In her previous life, she had only lived for twenty-eight years. Shortly after graduating from military school, she joined a special forces unit, and her time was mostly spent on secret missions or undergoing devilish training. Even though she had completed many tasks, most of them were confidential and little known.
At the end of the biography, it described how, during a desperate attempt to escape Water Blue Star, hundreds of thousands of survivors were trapped by a massive zombie horde and did not have enough time to take off.
In this critical situation, the female general led the remaining twenty or so special forces of the country, breaking through the zombie horde to divert it and buying enough time for the spaceship to launch.
The biography concluded with the survivors’ own accounts.
When the three spaceships finally ascended into the sky, looking back at Water Blue Star, they saw a series of explosions among the zombie horde. The female general and the few remaining special forces members, to avoid falling into the zombies’ grasp, detonated the explosives on their bodies…
The survivor who recounted this history clearly remembered the heartrending cries of the special forces members’ families.
Mai Dongzi stared at the words “family members” for a long time, and when she later saw in the notes at the end of the biography that the cover figure was an actor portraying General Mai Dongzi rather than a photo of Mai Dongzi herself, her thoughts began to become confused.
Hadn’t she transmigrated into a fictional world? Why, in this world, at the same time as her previous life’s existence, was there another Mai Dongzi?
This Mai Dongzi shared the same birth year and month, the same paternal and maternal names and much of her early life experience was also identical to her own.
The last moments of self-destruction to block the zombie horde were also exactly the same as in her previous life.
Was this General Mai Dongzi referring to her past life or was it another Mai Dongzi from the book’s world?
Mai Dongzi was stuck in a mental whirlwind for a while before gradually calming down and flipping through another biography.
This biography, published about ten years later than the previous one, featured a different person on the cover.
The content of this biography didn’t seem as factual as the first one; it felt more like fiction. However, it still detailed Mai Dongzi’s sacrifice, leading the special forces to clear a path for the spaceship.
Yet, when Mai Dongzi looked at the photo of the middle-aged man in the notes, she saw that he resembled her previous life’s younger brother. This renowned General Mai, who made a name for himself in the early years of the Stellar Calendar, was said to be the nephew of General Mai Dongzi.
Although there wasn’t enough evidence, Mai Dongzi suspected that these were not mere coincidences. There was likely some deeper reason behind them, including the reason for her reincarnation.
After reading two more biographies, finding them increasingly absurd and yielding no further clues, Mai Dongzi decided to check the related posts. She discovered that these posts were comments on the portrayals of General Mai Dongzi in films or TV series.
She browsed the most popular posts and reviewed the highest-rated films and shows. While the biographies had some resemblance to her, the portrayals of General Mai Dongzi in the films were completely unrelated to her past life.
The main content of these films and TV series revolved around romantic themes.
There were stories about romantic relationships between teachers and students, or touching love stories between classmates and comrades. Naturally, all these relationships ended in tragedy, since it is well-known that General Mai Dongzi ultimately sacrificed herself.
If it weren’t for her current status, Mai Dongzi would have been very eager to debunk these portrayals.
