The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 171 New Questions
Jiang Hui was unaware of the uproar outside; she simply went into the battlefield quietly with her new teammates.

They then pulled off another heist using a similar method, but this time they were unlucky and got caught. The other side was ruthless and turned the tables on them, causing them to fail at the last minute. In the end, the two of them could only collect a few targets here and there and escape.

Then the two embarked on another guerrilla journey full of unknowns, stopping and starting as they went, not letting go of any points they could get. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any formidable opponents along the way, so although their point-gaining speed was a bit slow, they didn't fall too far behind.

Just when they thought they could hold out for a while, something unexpected happened that disrupted all their plans and caught them off guard.

-------------

The competition has been underway for almost nine weeks, and we're about to reach the quarter mark. She still has a full day and night to complete the match, and just thinking about it gives Jiang Hui a headache.

Oh, of course, if she's eliminated from the competition before she reaches 36 stars, then she won't have this problem.

It must have been just past six o'clock in the evening; the sky had suddenly turned dark, serving as a natural timekeeper. There were no lights in the training area, and the simulated supermoon on the canopy was far from enough to illuminate their path through the woods.

Aside from their handheld tools, their only source of light was the electronic screen in the upper right corner of each person's simulated bra. Flashing continuously in the night, it was more conspicuous than the scattered stars in the sky.

However, in the current environment, this thing is obviously not of any benefit to them. On the contrary, it will make them more vulnerable to being exposed in the dark and become targets for others to shoot.

The environment is different now, and things are not as easy to operate as they were during the day, so they have to change their strategy—it has to be that one.

Without any light source, the two dared not go too far or make a sound. Finally, by the light of their peripheral vision, they stumbled and bumped their way to a crevice in the rocks, where they took refuge for the time being.

They actually had flashlights and reflectors, one of each, which was enough, but they dared not use them easily.

It wasn't because they were reluctant to use it, but because a beam of light suddenly shone from the flashlight in this pitch-black place. Was it as if someone was deliberately pointing out the location to others? So, despite feeling uneasy about the dark environment, they could only temporarily suppress the idea of ​​directly shining the flashlight on their surroundings.

The entire training ground was built to resemble a real forest, with real shrubs and trees, easily attracting small natural creatures to settle there. Of course, larger and medium-sized creatures, and even small star beasts, were removed from the area by the school authorities early on to prevent a recurrence of the situation that happened last time.

Then, Jiang Hui and Zhou Xiuwen, hidden under the cover of night, could actually hear melodious birdsong, as if some unknown bird was singing, and it sounded quite nice.

'Classmate Jiang.'

Jiang Hui, who had been slightly distracted by the birdsong, was startled because the sound was so unfamiliar.

Although Jiang Hui rarely spoke to Zhou Xiuwen due to their suspicious behavior—partly to prevent others from locating them by their voices—the two had spoken at the beginning.

If she remembered correctly, the other person's voice didn't sound like that. And this voice sounded a bit harsh, strained, with unclear word connections and intonation, sounding somewhat strange.

Jiang Hui was unaware that what she thought she was "hearing" had already exceeded the limitations of the five normal senses. She was actually using a power in her mind that was still quite unfamiliar to her to "hear".

"Jiang, it's me. Did you hear me?"

Jiang Hui touched the shoulder of the person next to her uncertainly. "Yes, it's me, Zhou..." This part was also intermittent, but Jiang Hui finally heard the word "Zhou" for sure. The person next to her responded at the right time, which made Jiang Hui very certain that the two strange voices came from Zhou Xiuwen, who was standing right next to her.

She was certain that it wasn't the other person's voice, and the voice didn't seem to come through her ears, but rather appeared directly in her mind.

Then, after the other party's stammering explanation, Jiang Hui finally understood that this was indeed the effect of mental energy transmission. So not only was the voice wrong, but there was also no physical sound being emitted in reality. The other party was transmitting the sound directly into her brain through mental energy.

It turns out that mental power has such wonderful uses. This is the first time Jiang Hui has faced something that is beyond her comprehension.

Heaven knows that in her world, transmitting sound over the internet was probably the limit. She never expected that one day she would personally experience a divine skill similar to "secret sound entering the ear"... Well, it was actually mental transmission, but in terms of function and performance, it was not much different.

Although she didn't know the principle behind it, it was truly amazing, so amazing... it made her quite eager to try it out.

So this is how mental strength is used! Military training these past few days hasn't touched on this at all, not even mentioned it. Is this something taught in formal courses, or is it some kind of special talent?
How on earth did they do that?! If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Jiang Hui would have already grabbed someone and started asking about the principle behind it.

Forget it, there's no rush. Anyway, this guy isn't going to run away. We can ask him for advice after he leaves the arena.

The person was unaware that he had been targeted by Jiang, whom he considered very reliable, and was still trying his best to convey his meaning in a halting manner using his mental power.

The other party told him that this action would consume a lot of mental energy, and that talking more would consume a lot of mental energy. Given his level of mental energy, he wouldn't be able to last long, so he should say something important first.

After a while, Jiang Hui looked puzzled and then subconsciously looked down at her right shoulder: ??

Really? ...No way.

If you were to ask her how she feels right now, she would probably say that she's having the worst luck ever, like the house is leaking and the rain is pouring down. Why did it have to be at this time?
The battery is out.

Why didn't anyone tell them that this thing needs to be charged?! What happens if it runs out of power? Will it be ejected from the field? That would be truly frustrating.

Yes, he said the thing without power was the simulation bra they were wearing. He had always thought it was some kind of control device, and also served as a safety device... but no one had told her it needed to be charged.

So where can she go to charge it?

Jiang Hui was stunned, and so was Zhou Xiuwen. Of course, many other freshmen present were also bewildered by the same situation.

spectator stands

Soft music suddenly filled the entire spectator area, followed by an announcement from the broadcasting station: "We have reached the quarter-final stage. The first round of aid stations is now open. Please proceed to the corresponding locations to replenish your supplies and energy."

The broadcast also reached the training ground, where the thousands of surviving students looked on with surprise or disbelief.
