The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 384 Coolie
"Jiang, Jiang Hui... Ah Hui? Hey, over here—" Just after class, the girl hurried in a certain direction and heard someone calling her from behind.

She heard the sound of running behind her, and the other person had already moved to her side, putting their arm around her shoulder: "Why are you running so fast? I haven't been able to find you lately..."

"Come on, let's go eat together. I just asked Xiuwen, and they told me to come and intercept you." With that, Sherman pulled Jiang Hui toward the cafeteria.

"No, no, I..." Jiang Hui struggled slightly. She really had something to do; someone was waiting for her on the other end.

"You want to go back to the dorm again, don't you? Don't rush, have a meal first and then go back. Zhou Xiuwen tried to catch you twice but failed. I've also heard from your classmates that you often run away as soon as get out of class is over. Even if you're a diligent student, don't overdo it," Hillman advised.

He'd known Jiang Hui for a while now, so he knew her personality well. Once she got busy, she'd work day and night, often just grabbing some fast food to tide her over. But how could someone eat fast food and stay up like that for long? Hillman felt that as a friend, he had to urge her to eat healthily.

Jiang Hui shook her head: "I'm not going back to the dorm. You guys go eat, I can't for the next few days, wait for me..."

"Beep beep—" came the voice of the quantum computer.

Jiang Hui opened the message, which was from Carlo. It was quite a coincidence; Carlo said he had a meeting today and would be going to the library a little later, and that Jiang Hui could go later.

Is it such a coincidence?
Who? Hillman was a little curious, but he was well-mannered and didn't try to peek over the owner of the personal terminal. He just looked at his friend, whose movements seemed to have slowed down, with a questioning look.

The girl shook her head, then changed her mind and strode forward.

Looking at the empty arm, Hillman was stunned. How could she be so fickle?! She seemed unwilling just now; was it because she received a text message?
The boy was puzzled, but he still chased after her in a good mood and walked side by side with the girl toward the cafeteria.

Generally speaking, the first half of the academic year is relatively short in most schools. Jiang Hui and others felt this even more acutely; with the addition of the first-year military training period, half of the semester had passed in the blink of an eye, and the freshmen were gradually adapting to life at Beska Intermediate Academy.

Jiang Hui and the others almost all met during orienteering competitions, and it's been several months since then. However, they come from several different majors, so it's rare for them to happen to be together like this.

But there's always a way to get them together, especially since they have someone like Hillman who's like a "joker" among them.

Hillman was the youngest of them, but also the most lively. He was often unpredictable and playful. His academic performance wasn't great, and his practical skills weren't particularly outstanding either. However, in terms of communication and interpersonal skills, the four of them combined couldn't match Hillman's abilities alone.

The other person is very outgoing and enthusiastic about communicating with others. They don't have any embarrassment or concerns, and they also have a certain sense of propriety, so they won't really be disliked. Whether it's the arrogant and unsociable Clarence or the deep and enigmatic Huan Xian, they all get along well with him.

Therefore, it's usually this incredibly proactive guy who initiates the gatherings, and then people who are busy with their own things come together, either to eat together or to study in the study area as a group. This happens every now and then, not frequently, but it seems to have become a kind of accepted routine.

It's almost time for us to get together again, but Jiang Hui has been so busy these past few days that she forgot.

There's no other reason than that Jiang Hui has been unlucky these past few days, being forced into hard labor by teachers from another department.

Although she learned a lot and enjoyed it, she had to admit that the pressure of being in close contact with her teacher was immense. She was always afraid that her teacher would notice her lack of knowledge—though so far, the teacher hadn't seemed to show any of that. When the teacher discovered her misunderstandings or shortcomings, the teacher simply corrected them carefully and taught her many details that couldn't be found in books. This benefited Jiang Hui, who had been learning blindly all along.

Perhaps students are naturally afraid of teachers, and this feeling will persist no matter how much time has passed or how old they are... Anyway, I've been under a lot of pressure lately.

However, that teacher, Carlo, said that she would get extra points after the matter was resolved.

Jiang Hui already has a lot of personal points, and with this additional substantial amount, she can probably guarantee continuous simulation training for the next academic year.

Yes, do you remember the individual points they earned in the orienteering competition?

Besides the period at the beginning of the school year, you can also earn points by performing well in public tests and certain special training sessions during regular days.

Although they don't need it right now, that doesn't mean it will stay that way.

It is said that it will be available for use after the comprehensive courses begin in the last month of this semester, at which time the school will fully open the mecha simulator training ground to first-year students.

Students can train in mechs through simulation training, but this requires spending personal points. Each training session costs ten to twenty points, and students can't just train whenever they want.

After all, a simulated mecha training ground is not as common as the holographic simulation technology of network technology. It is closer to the mental communication ∞ string system technology used by mechas. It is slightly inferior, but it comes from the same source and the sensory experience of operation is similar.

In short, every point she earns now guarantees extra training in the future. If she doesn't work hard, she won't be able to get extra training even if she wants to—that's the reality.

So Jiang Hui has been going out very frequently lately, working hard to help Carlo select books.

She was just too tired; she, along with Professor Carlo and the administrator, were often busy until 11 or 12 at night. Once, Jiang Hui didn't get back to school on time and was forcibly sent into the consciousness space on the dormitory stairs.

She felt like it had been a whole day, but to others it was just a blink of an eye before she collapsed. When Jiang Hui woke up, she found a girl who had just come out of the dormitory for some fresh air running towards her with a look of horror in her eyes. She thought she had suddenly collapsed from some illness, which was quite frightening, and insisted on taking her to the hospital.

So after that night, Jiang Hui would say goodbye and leave as soon as she saw that it was almost time. If she stayed too long, she would simply stay in the library past midnight, waking up in the blink of an eye. The teachers would probably just think she was sleepy and dozing off.

Today is the fourth day she has been helping Teacher Carlo clean up the mecha section. It's estimated that there are still three days until the selection process ends, meaning she just needs to hold on a little longer to get her points. Jiang Hui is in a good mood.

Today, Carlo's trip was postponed, which gave Jiang Hui a bit of free time. He then went with Hillman to the dining hall to meet up with the others.
