The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 240 Time Difference (Part Two)
Yes, the so-called "dragon and tiger battle" refers to the undercurrents between the R256 squad, where Holly's group was located, and the T186 temporary squad, where Jiang Hui was located.

They were naturally very interested in the battle between the first-place team, which still held a significant lead despite having an advantage in compensation points, and the second-place team, which possessed absolute strength.

Moreover, they also had their own calculations.

The organizers have already explained that this is a charging time, yet they've only provided this simple total charging block, replacing the previous complex supply points and rules. It seems this round's charging time will be less than the previous round, probably only around two or three stars at most.

Based on their current charging rate at L5, it will take about twenty star minutes to fully charge the 60% limit. This means that by the time they can move around freely, a full star hour will have passed, during which time they can only observe others' activities.

By this time, nearly thirty star minutes had passed since the charging began, and it was estimated that many people inside the energy points were starting to get restless, and they would gradually go out to find new energy points.

Although it was quiet here and they couldn't hunt many targets, the initial energy point they found had a high enough amount. Next, they only needed to find another point with 40% of the energy to complete the recharging objective.

Having endured over twenty weeks of guerrilla warfare, many team members had suffered injuries, and even the brother and sister were feeling quite mentally exhausted.

After careful consideration, the Lava siblings decided not to join in the fun and instead focus on replenishing the energy of the simulation bra before making any further plans.

...Anyway, those guys couldn't possibly clear most of the arena in just two or three weeks, could they? If the other side really has that kind of ability, they'll have no choice but to admit defeat.

Pavla Lava looked at the map, somewhat puzzled: "Holly's squad has been stuck at point L7 for a while now. So their charge level there must be pretty high. Dude, do you think it might be at 60% like ours?"

Aris Lava shook his head; he didn't know either. This orienteering race was unlike any competition he had ever seen before. In any case, none of the past race videos he had specially prepared were of any use. It seemed the school had made significant improvements to the competition format; there was no pattern to be found, and he could only figure it out by trial and error.

They still don't understand many things about this first round of supply points, let alone this second round where they still don't know how to proceed.

However, judging from the timeline, the other party's location should also be a high-charge point. If it were only 20% or 30%, Holly and her team would never have stayed there for so long: "Maybe 40%?" Aris made a wild guess.

"Huh? It really moved. It's only been a little over thirty star points since it started charging. It's impossible for it to be fully charged to 60% so quickly. It's probably only at most 40% of its energy limit over there." Pafra, who had been staring at the sky, raised an eyebrow and said.

He guessed right just by guessing? Ares was a little dumbfounded.

They immediately looked up and, sure enough, saw Holly's ranking number "2" disappear within the L7 area, and the rest of R256 also vanished one after another. Their team must be leaving to find another supply point.

Aris's interest was immediately piqued: "Little Fura, which point do you think they'll go to next? They're not going to look for the top-ranked person, are they?"

"Don't call me by that name!" Pafra, who had an icy and aloof appearance, was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by the words.

To prevent people from continuing to focus on this, Pavla quickly changed the subject: "It shouldn't be like that, right? How much energy have they recharged in L7? It's unrealistic to expect them to spend the rest of their time looking for people. But to say he won't look at all... that's not like him. So—" "He'll look for recharge points and people at the same time," Aris added.

The two exchanged a glance, completely certain. Yes, this was the Holly they had known before.

They didn't know this person before.

Although everyone is a newly enrolled student, during military training, most classes are in closed training, and even those on the same training ground are divided into two groups at opposite ends. With such a distance and everyone focused on their own tasks, it's difficult to pay attention to any particular student in any class; most people simply don't have that much time!

And their impressions of their classmates mostly started from this competition.

Of course, these forms of witnessing almost always begin with swords clashing and fists clashing.

For people like Kang Hwi-hwan and Holly, encountering them on the field almost always results in a "life or death" outcome. Therefore, the Lava siblings met Holly later at the supply depot, and the situation was extremely dangerous at that time.

This brief encounter left a deep impression on the brother and sister.

This student named Holly was ruthless and decisive, showing no mercy. Even from a distance, his eyes shone with a cold sharpness, and once he set his sights on someone, no one could escape his relentless pursuit. If they hadn't been lucky enough to run fast, they probably would have been left there on the spot along with that group.

Therefore, the brother and sister were both wary of this person and were constantly worried about encountering him too early in the competition. Fortunately, they did not run into him or his team again along the way.

“If Holly is only looking for energy points, there are plenty. It just depends on where he goes. He might even come to our side... But if he's looking for that person, it'll be like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

"I really don't know what Jiang Hui, the top-ranked student, is thinking. Does she have some other way to replenish her energy? She hasn't even found a charging point to replenish her energy yet. Judging from the average energy consumption of everyone's simulated bras, it should be reaching its limit by now, or... is she also trying to avoid Holly?"
"That's because she's smart. If she appeared in ranked matches, there would probably be a fight. It's only because she hasn't appeared yet that Holly has been able to stay quietly in L7 until now."

"Sigh, they're all cunning guys, I just don't understand them." A member from Class 3 next to him listened with his eyes darting around, completely bewildered, and could only sigh.

"By the way, it seems there are still two main energy charging points that no one has visited yet, which is strange." Another person asked curiously, looking at the two empty points on the map.

"It was someone. Someone just went into L3, you missed it. It seems to be Clarence, who is ranked third, but I don't know why he came out as soon as he went in."

"I guess they found the limit was too low after connecting to the main charging energy block." Aris pondered, then moved his gaze downwards from L3... Assuming that Jiang Hui from Class 1 didn't appear during this period, and Clarence, who ranked second, briefly appeared at L3, Holly's final choice would probably be in the lower southeast direction, and the energy points closest to L7 would be... L10 and L6.

Which one will it be?
