The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 201 Rest
No, is this... is this the wonderful feeling of escaping from a dead end?!

Jiang Hui, already overwhelmed by her predicament, couldn't help but lie back in despair. Not far away was her companion, equally exhausted, both facing the prospect of their simulation bras failing. She wondered... what was she going to do?

So when she suddenly heard this news while she was still in a daze, it was as if someone had hit her in the ear with a hammer. She immediately became clear-headed and instinctively sprang up from the ground.

Found it? Found it! They finally found a new charging point, and one without any charging limit! They finally found a way to extend their lives... It's been four stars already, plus the remaining two stars, making a total of six stars, almost a quarter of the race time. Jiang Hui couldn't help but feel sorry for their arduous journey.

The competition lasts for a total of thirty-six stars. When Jiang Hui heard "a quarter of the competition time" on the broadcast that day, he subconsciously thought that the competition would be divided into four stages with an average duration of nine hours, and that the supply points should not take up too much time. However, it seems that the first round of supply points will take six stars to obtain, so the second round of supply points should also take a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, the official competition can be divided into a maximum of three stages according to the reasonable structure. And now the first stage is only just about to be completed... This competition is really exhausting, it's like wilderness survival, I don't know which genius designed it.

Jiang Hui shook off the brief mental storm that had been raging in her mind and quickly sat up to check on the other two.

Both of them heard it and struggled to sit up, though they both looked rather weak.

However, no amount of weakness could hide his joy at this moment, especially Huan Xian, whose pale and haggard face, which looked like a dead man, suddenly became much more radiant.

Zhou Xiuwen was also happy, but his words seemed to express more joy at escaping his predicament: "I didn't expect there to actually be a total charging block called A1. All our suffering wasn't in vain. However... I never want to do this kind of water activity again, if I could."

It seems like it really has left a shadow on them. Jiang Hui couldn't help but shake his head with amusement: "I was originally going to suggest that you go back and learn to swim." After all, who knows if something similar will happen again in the future? This was just a simulated competition; if it were a real competition, they would really be doomed.

Having lived on Earth, Jiang Hui knew all too well how terrifying water was; countless people lost their lives in it every year.

However, after listening to the other party's words, Jiang Hui realized that it was true. They first encountered the A3 energy block, which limited the energy capacity to 40%, and later the A2 that Zhou Xiuwen had given them to hold the rope had 60% capacity. But both of these limited the energy capacity, and 40% or 60% of the energy was simply not enough to support them in completing the competition. Therefore, if they wanted to continue the competition, they needed to find an energy block with a higher energy capacity.

Now that they've found A1, the kind of unlimited charging block they needed most, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally eased a little, even more so than when they found the bullets.

The group breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the simulated bra float that showed it was connected to the main charging energy block and was displaying its charging status. They then began to observe their surroundings.

Jiang Hui then realized that the narrow tunnel they were in was a one-way passage, leading straight ahead in an unknown direction. At its end was the pool they had just come up from, surrounded by walls without any gaps. It was clearly a dead end.

Looking down from above, the pool didn't seem very deep. The water was clear, and you could vaguely see the rocks at the bottom. It looked like an ordinary little pond—if they hadn't almost drowned in it earlier, they might have thought so too.

They had just come up from the bottom of this pool, meaning that the tunnel they were currently in was on a higher level than the tunnel world they had just entered. So, was the way out really up there? Jiang Hui had previously suspected this.

"Where did all this water come from?" Zhou Xiuwen asked, squatting beside the pool with considerable curiosity. "It must be some kind of mechanism that's been set up." Jiang Hui thought about it and indeed felt that the structure was a bit strange. There was a high possibility that there was a mechanism hidden between the upper and lower levels. Then, looking at the person who seemed to be getting closer and closer to the pool, she said, "Didn't you say you were afraid of water? Why aren't you afraid now?! Be careful not to get too close, or I won't be able to pull you out if you fall in."

Jiang Hui couldn't bear to see Zhou Xiuwen squatting so casually on the edge of the pool and couldn't help but remind him. Although she knew he wouldn't just randomly fall into the water for no reason, there was no barrier in front and no backrest behind. Who knew if he might suddenly have a brain fart and fall in? There might even be a suction force at the bottom of the pool; if someone fell in, they would probably be swept away immediately.

So all I could do was warn them to stay away from the danger.

After persuading the person who had completely let loose to leave the dangerous area, Jiang Hui walked over to Huan Xian, who was sitting cross-legged: "Are you feeling better, Huan?"

"I'll be fine after a rest." His complexion had improved considerably, probably because he was completely out of the water source; his overall energy was also different. He glanced at the electronic screen under his right shoulder and suggested, "How about we wait until we're fully charged before looking for another route?"

Jiang Hui thought the same way. She was doing relatively well, but the other two had almost run out of energy and were nearly thrown out of the competition due to their machines shutting down. Their top priority was naturally to recharge.

And according to the notification from the main charging module, they have about two more hours to stay here. Two hours! She couldn't believe those two hours would be completely peaceful.

Given the competition organizers' style, there's probably a lot more to come. Why not take this opportunity to fill up the simulation bra now?

Alright, let's rest here for a while first. Jiang Hui invited Zhou Xiuwen, who was wandering around observing the situation, back. The three of them sat quietly together, some conserving their energy, others calming their minds. For a moment, everything quieted down.

Well, actually it can't be said to be very quiet.

Huan Xian was resting with his eyes closed. Jiang Hui had slept recently and wasn't actually that tired; she needed to recover her strength, as today's exercise intensity had been a bit too much for her. As for Zhou Xiuwen…

"Cuckoo-"

"Goooooooooooo-"

When the first sound rang out, none of the three people, including the person involved, reacted, perhaps thinking it was just an illusion. But when the second sound rang out... the person who had been resting with their eyes closed couldn't help but open them, and the person whose mind was racing couldn't help but shift their gaze, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

The person instinctively clutched their stomach, their face immediately turning red, and explained, "I...I haven't eaten anything all day."
