The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 387 Discussion
bonus?

Jiang Hui found it somewhat amusing. Hillman, as expected of a young master from a merchant family, actually had this as his first reaction...

The girl shook her head dismissively, because she genuinely hadn't heard Carlo mention it. And even if he had, she couldn't very well ask him, "What reward do I get for helping you?"

"However, Professor Carlo said he would give me an extra personal points, and I thought it was quite a lot, so I agreed. Anyway, it's only for a few days, and it'll be fine once I'm done with it."

“Personal points, huh?” Hillman seemed a little disappointed. “How many? I heard from my father that this is a very difficult task. The school has been struggling to find suitable people for a whole month. This Mr. Carlo volunteered himself, which shows how tricky this job is.” Giving too few points would be a disservice to her hard work this week.

But this guy seemed even more indignant than she was. Jiang Hui really wanted to tell him that she didn't feel like she had been taken advantage of. Although she did feel a bit like she was being forced into hard labor at the beginning, she seemed to be quite enjoying herself these past few days. She gradually calmed down and started studying.

Moreover, a sum like two hundred personal points isn't something you can just get easily; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It seems like they haven't seen anyone with double-digit personal points since the end of their newbie training period; now they're stuck with two or three points, and five points is already a lot. Giving her two hundred points all at once is like a windfall!
This is the main reason why Jiang Hui went from being somewhat unwilling at the beginning to being quite happy about it now; he's quite realistic.

"Don't worry, if there really is a bonus, that Professor Carlo might actually share some with me. He's a really nice guy; it's rare to find a mecha pilot with such a good temperament," Jiang Hui said jokingly, though he also felt a little regretful.

She had previously used her course selection card to enroll in several other mecha instructors' classes, and had already attended several sessions, so canceling was impossible. As for the remaining half of her course selection card, it was up to Stark to arrange; he had already compiled a list of supplementary courses worthwhile for individual soldiers.

So, let alone in-person classes, she might not even have the chance to watch his online recorded courses, which is quite a pity. Judging from the lessons she's received from him these past few days, he's a very knowledgeable mecha pilot, and his style is very much to her liking.

However, the other person seemed to have some misunderstanding about her major, always mentioning things like taking his classes in the second semester... Jiang Hui really wanted to tell him, "Professor, I'm a student in the Combat Individual Soldier Department." But whether it was a coincidence or not, she was interrupted several times because of some things, so the other person still didn't know that Jiang Hui wasn't a student in the Mecha Department.

After thinking about it, Jiang Hui realized she was overthinking things.

So what if she's in the mecha department, or not? Even in the world she once lived on Earth, graduates from any major in higher education institutions weren't guaranteed a job in their field.

Moreover, in interstellar space, they possess such long lifespans and face such vast worlds, naturally having more choices. No one stipulates that students majoring in combat individual combat cannot learn to build mechs; isn't she a perfect example?

Perhaps Professor Carlo wouldn't care at all if she found out. After all, she's not a real genius, and telling her this in such a serious manner would seem deliberate and an overreaction.

Hillman, unaware of the myriad thoughts swirling in Jiang Hui's mind, was somewhat distracted by her words and even agreed, saying, "Indeed, you don't know, those professors in our school's mecha department..." Suddenly, as if realizing the inappropriateness of his presence, he glanced around furtively and lowered his voice, "They all have rather bad tempers. My father said that most mecha pilots are like that. It's understandable, because they think a lot every day, their brains are several times more active than the average person's, and their mental strength is constantly used to assist in precise operations, so their nerve endings are quite sensitive, making it extremely difficult for them to control their emotions. They often appear irritable and easily angered... We should try to understand them."

"Irritable?" Jiang Hui subconsciously touched the back of her head, reflecting on her own state, and felt that this description was actually quite accurate. She did indeed become much more irritable when she was researching things.

"...A misprinted book?" Zhou Xiuwen asked thoughtfully.

Jiang Hui nodded: "Actually, I'm not entirely sure either. Professor Carlo said that due to regional and supply chain issues, the printed versions in different places will vary to some extent. Or it may be due to the arguments of the book itself, which may lead to the book being recalled by the Interstellar Publishing Bureau after a period of time. In some places, the information is lagging behind or the purchase channels are different, which may cause the book to be delayed in being recalled."

Jiang Hui didn't think it was a big deal, because similar situations were common on Earth. But cultural differences aren't really differences; they're unique characteristics. As long as the core elements aren't too different, it's fine.

However, StarCraft manages these matters very strictly. Especially for technical books, even the slightest deviation or academic controversy will result in a large-scale recall of the relevant books. In addition, StarCraft has a wealth of talent, and information and technology are updated and replaced at a very rapid pace. Sometimes, a book published and sold millions of copies in the morning may be recalled by the afternoon due to printing errors.

It is said that there are also cases where books that have been published for hundreds of years and used by generations are suddenly found to be suspected of fabricating topics and are recalled and destroyed many years later.

“It’s strange…Beska Intermediate Academy has always had some problems with the management of the library. It’s said that it’s been like this since the school was first established. There have been proposals from the board of directors, but for some reason, they all came to nothing. This time, a senior teacher who was recently hired discovered the problem and made a proposal, and only then did the board of directors start to deal with it.” Hillman told Zhou Xiuwen and the others what he knew.

"I see..." The boy seemed to have his curiosity satisfied, and casually changed the subject.

Jiang Hui couldn't stay here any longer, because Xie Da Ka Luo seemed to have finished his meeting early and was already at the library, so she had to rush over there now.

The others knew she was busy and didn't try to keep her, only reminding Jiang Hui not to overwork herself and to get some rest. Perhaps due to recent travel and growth, she looked noticeably thinner and more gaunt.

Watching the girl hurriedly leave the cafeteria, the remaining four people couldn't help but sigh in unison.

This person is working so hard that it makes them feel ashamed.
