The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 177 Better than Nothing
Although they knew the simulated bra was there to protect them, the two exchanged a glance and immediately went to work together to turn the person over. When they looked at the other person again... thankfully, the person's eyes were still open, blinking, but they couldn't move.

No, those two just destroyed the energy of that person's simulation bra with a single blow?! Jiang Hui's pupils widened in shock.

The countdown on the simulated bra jumps from 23 to 22, 21... This student is about to be teleported out.

Jiang Hui was somewhat annoyed at what they had been doing, almost missing the best time to collect resources. If they had been any later, they probably would have been teleported outside.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late. So, under the "unseeing eyes" of the man who died, one person carried the gun and the other carried the bag, and they ransacked his remaining resources, leaving nothing behind. Less than a blink of an eye after getting the stuff, the ground beneath him began to blur, and he floated down, presumably teleported away.

Since entering the competition, this was the first time Jiang Hui had managed to seize resources with her bare hands; previously, she had always fought head-on with guns pointed at each other. Well, actually, she had been secretly hiding in concealed positions, taking down enemies one by one to rank up.

Now that we've arrived at this supply point, guns are useless, so we have to rely on our bare hands. Surprisingly, we've managed to get resources this way, which is a welcome surprise.

But for them to replenish resources here in this way, and then fight their way through one by one, isn't that far too difficult? Jiang Hui thought to himself, lost in thought.

"It's better than nothing. Until we find real supplies, this method can help us recover a little bit of health. We can only take it one step at a time." The boy squatted down, dumped the contents of the military pack he had just acquired onto the ground, rummaged through it a few times, divided it in two, and then let Jiang Hui choose.

Jiang Hui glanced around and realized that the other party had indeed chosen randomly; what could be divided was split equally, and what couldn't be divided was randomly placed on either side. Only the stored bullets, nutrient solutions, and medicines were divided completely equally, so no one was at a disadvantage.

That's pretty fair.

Jiang Hui raised an eyebrow, casually grabbed one of the items, and then chose a gun. The two dusted themselves off and continued wandering around the tunnel as if nothing had happened.

After that, they almost always repeated what they had done before. They didn't encounter many people, only three or four times, but the two of them became increasingly adept at cooperating. Jiang Hui even had a faint feeling that they were fighting monsters and collecting equipment, well... in a way, that wasn't wrong.

The two of them had only managed to obtain some resources by fighting off other people along the way, but they still hadn't made any progress on the matter of charging the simulated bra.

Meanwhile off the field

Although the school has upgraded its surveillance equipment to ensure the safety of students by observing their movements in all aspects, even the training ground has been specially designed and practiced by a mecha master specializing in mechanical design.

However, it is still quite difficult to display each person's scene on the screen. Therefore, the projected images are all from certain wide-angle perspectives, that is, group scenes.

Of course, to enhance the viewing experience, numerous small screens were set up around the perimeter to display highlights of the contestants' scores. Therefore, if a contestant performed well, the audience could see their performance from various angles.

Teachers and instructors, being teaching staff, are naturally different; they have the authority to access individual student images, making it convenient for class advisors to record and analyze each student's performance in this round. This is actually the first real mini-exam for all new students after enrollment, and it will be graded and included in the end-of-semester evaluation.

Seeing Jiang Hui's score jump up after her name, which was still at the top, even though it was only 0.5 points, made her stand out among the mostly stagnant names on the list. Ah, she gained another 0.5 points in just a short while…

"Hmm. Haven't they already reached the supply point?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Yes, they went in a while ago. Those who don't go in now probably won't be able to continue the match and will be sent out soon." "But I remember the rules for the supply points are a bit different. Many people probably... haven't figured it out yet. How did these people score?" A dark-skinned young officer raised his chin, indicating the people whose scores had changed on the leaderboard. These people didn't add many points, some 0.25 points, some 0.5 points, and some even jumped by 1 point at a time.

In this situation, it's already quite good to get any points.

"Look, Xiaoping has them all, only these few are different. You can see them just by looking... Heh heh, what a bunch of clever little devils, they can come up with all sorts of tricks."

This is the teachers' section, where the homeroom teachers and other instructors naturally focus more on the students in their own classes.

Each of them was eager for their students to make it onto the list, to showcase their excellence and brilliance, so that they could feel as proud as if they themselves were living a life of glory.

Even those who are low-key and don't like to cause trouble can't help but look for their favorite students among the contestants, harboring expectations for them.

However, as time went on, their thoughts faded.

Perhaps they didn't realize that they were gradually no longer limiting themselves to their own students, but were beginning to examine the performance of students from various majors and classes from different perspectives.

These vibrant children are truly touching.

Yes, they were moved. It's not really strange that a group of adults, who, even if they weren't in the military, had at least some experience with war, were moved by a group of children playing a game.

Because no matter what they've been through, how capable they are, or how high their positions are, they all share the same goal—to protect the empire, to protect humanity, and to protect this starry world that has finally developed to its current state. Their hearts were mostly the same when they decided to join the army.

They saw a similar prototype in the children's courageous forward movement, which was very touching.

Perhaps this is part of what they are willing to sacrifice their lives for.

In the crowd, Stark quietly looked at the list in the center, then shifted his gaze to one of the small screens around him, and subtly curled the corners of his mouth.

'The little rascal is quite clever. Being clever is good; it means he'll live longer and live a long, long life. I hope he can persevere and go far...and much further.'

At this moment, Jiang Hui was unaware that her superiors outside were talking about her like this.

She didn't know how long this unknown journey lasted; it felt neither very long nor very short, but wandering like this was not a long-term solution.

The two eventually chose a relatively secluded spot, stopped, and tried to find some useful clues.
