The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 155 Eve
Besides the temporarily questionable closed-off brain region, the wear and tear caused by mental exhaustion is also not to be ignored. There are indeed quite a few pitfalls left by the original owner and Jiang Hui.

This consultation was so long that it wasn't even over yet, even after she had just dozed off in the testing room and wandered around in her mental space.

Unsurprisingly, it was late at night, or rather, almost the next day, when Jiang Hui and the other two finished their consultation. The canopy would probably be taken down and it would be light in an hour or two.

Jiang Hui thought Stark would take her directly back to school and let her go back to her dormitory to rest.

Of course, they needed to rest too. The round trip had taken nearly ten hours, and even soldiers with strong physiques couldn't endure that. Jiang Hui felt quite embarrassed for keeping them up all night just for his own little matter.

Instead of immediately turning the spaceship back to the school, Stark led the two to a restaurant in the nearby city center that only served food at night. It seemed that he had finally remembered to take the group to fill their stomachs.

Jiang Hui suddenly realized that they had been rushing to Michael's consultation without stopping, so they naturally hadn't had time for dinner. They had all been making do with nutrient solutions on the spaceship.

However, for young adults and soldiers accustomed to maintaining peak physical fitness, the nutritional solution was still somewhat insufficient. Jiang Hui had been working non-stop all night, and she desperately needed a hot and nutritious meal to replenish her energy.

However, sandwiched between two tall, elderly people, and looking at the menu alone, Jiang Hui had a rather strange feeling. It was as if she were a child being taken out by their parents to eat a children's meal.

Never mind, she's starving. So she'd better eat first, since someone else is treating her today anyway.

Seeing that Jiang Hui seemed to have finished looking at the menu, Stark called someone up and let her order first. Then, like Nie Erqi, he ordered a Japanese meal.

Jiang Hui ate several bites of flamingo meat before her slightly sluggish brain could finally process what was happening.

She found the situation rather strange; she was so naturally sitting with the school's notoriously strict instructor, and she could calmly order her favorite food... Jiang Hui was quite impressed with herself, feeling a certain psychological strength within herself.

Clearly, neither of them thought there was anything wrong with what they were doing, so they didn't treat her like an outsider and started chatting amongst themselves. No, it should be said that it was a one-sided conversation, with Stark only responding with a couple of words depending on her mood.

Jiang Hui was still enjoying her midnight snack, or rather, breakfast, in a daze, but somehow the conversation between the two of them somehow circled back to her.

"Xiao Jiang, um... is it okay to call you that? It's been a month since school started, how are you feeling?" Nie Erqi asked the person who was lost in thought as if it were a casual conversation.

Dead memories suddenly assaulted her. "Little Jiang," what a down-to-earth way to address her. It seemed like she had never heard anyone call her that since arriving in interstellar space.

As for the question about how it was... well, it was just so-so. Military training is pretty much the same for everyone, it just doesn't feel very real.

That's the truth. After all, military life is too far removed from her reality, and even with similar specialized training, it didn't give her a similar sense of experience. Perhaps only when she actually chooses to embark on this path, and needs to undergo these trainings for survival, will she truly understand their significance.

But for now, Jiang Hui is really just experiencing it. Naturally, he does whatever the instructor tells him to do, and he practices hard when there are projects. It's a bit tough and tiring, but there's nothing worth reminiscing about or saying.

However, Jiang Hui chose a relatively moderate approach: "Well, it's alright, I feel like I've learned a lot." Yes, that was true. But perhaps sensing his nonchalance, Nie Erqi sighed, "Never mind, you don't seem to care about this. I'm probably overthinking it. At your age, there's really no need to worry about these things. Just follow your Uncle Tang. He'll teach you well."

He had forgotten that even before he knew her identity, he had noticed the child's calm and somewhat eccentric personality. Now, it seemed she really did resemble her mother somewhat; both were decisive and opinionated.

These kinds of people often have their own set of ideas, and interfering too much is not good. It's better to let her focus on her current life. We'll see what happens in time.

Jiang Hui: ? ? ?
"Didn't you ask me? I haven't even answered yet, and you've already answered yourself." Jiang Hui was full of question marks, but just as mentioned above, she really didn't have any thoughts to express, so she was happy to let it go.

He added, "I heard that tomorrow is the last event of military training, orienteering. I wonder what they'll do then..."

Stark glanced at Nie Erqi with annoyance. What other tricks could orienteering have? It's all just a formality, a way to let kids experience it.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will be able to take the mission back this afternoon. He won't even be able to stay until the orienteering is over. Why is he bringing this up now?

Nie Erqi touched his nose and answered automatically: "I was supposed to leave, but I received instructions the other day to stay on this planet for a few more days to wait for arrangements. You... anyway, you should be able to go see it tomorrow."

Upon hearing the word "instruction," Stark's fingertips trembled slightly behind his back, but his expression remained unchanged.

The other person smiled and said to Jiang Hui, "So you'd better do your best. If you can get into the top three, I'll give you something nice, how about it?"

Top three... You think too highly of me? Jiang Hui was completely shocked.

This is a large-scale group project that brings together outstanding students from various majors. She would be proud of herself if she could even get into the top three in her class, let alone the top three in the project.

Of course, she could never say that aloud. Firstly, it would seem to go against someone's good intentions, and secondly, it would make her appear unambitious. Although she felt she was simply stating the facts—

Stark frowned upon hearing this, interrupting the other person with some displeasure: "What are you talking about? You're just giving nonsensical orders, adding unnecessary pressure to the child." Then, with a hint of reassurance, he said to Jiang Hui, whose expression was unclear: "You don't need to listen to him. Just do your best."

She did her best... Yes, doing her best was the best she could do. Jiang Hui nodded silently in her heart.

Stark, feeling a bit annoyed, changed the subject to distract the person who couldn't speak at all, hoping to get Jiang Hui to finish her food properly. This annoying guy probably couldn't get the child to eat properly at all, and was just trying to attract attention with his clumsy communication skills.

After that, things were relatively calm, and nothing else happened. Stark first took Jiang Hui back to school, and then he and Nie Erqi went off on their spaceship to an unknown location.
