The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 392 Saying the Wrong Thing

Uncle Nie was as talkative as ever, talking non-stop from the moment Jiang Hui boarded the spaceship, like a machine gun. Sometimes, she couldn't even answer him while listening.

Jiang Hui thought that Stark was really indulgent towards this Uncle Nie. Stark was clearly not a patient person, and he had a powerful aura when he was with the students; usually, the students didn't even dare to breathe loudly when he was in the classroom. But now he was patiently listening to Nie Erqi ramble on and on, which showed that the two were true friends.

However, for Stark, answering only one out of ten questions was already the most he could tolerate. But Jiang Hui couldn't just answer one out of ten questions in the same way; she was the junior, and she still had to respond properly to whatever the other party asked.

Moreover, the other party was talking to her with a caring attitude, so most of the conversations along the way were between her and Nie Erqi.

"...Your school's curriculum is progressing too slowly. One of my kids is about your age, and he's already started formal mecha battles in the capital." Jiang Hui, however, still has another month before the comprehensive course can begin.

However, considering that Jiang Hui's side is a mid-level star in a resident star system, it is normal that the resource progress is not keeping up.

“No need to go too fast,” Stark said, somewhat disapprovingly.

“The mental domains of those who are not fully awakened are still unstable. Recklessness will only harm them. Most of the damage caused by the backlash of mental energy against the brain is almost irreversible. They will regret it when that happens.” Stark said in a serious tone, as if it were a warning or a caution.

"I didn't mean to encourage Xiao Jiang to practice. You know, we were just chatting. Sigh, you're really strict with yourself. Xiao Jiang, you must get a lot of disciplined by him, right? But... your Uncle Tang is the best at disciplining people, and he has several outstanding subordinates. You should listen to him more."

“…If you can’t speak, you don’t have to.” Stark couldn’t help but give Nerchi a death stare.

Jiang Hui: ...These two really have a good relationship.

However, Nie Erqi remained silent for a while. Jiang Hui felt that the spaceship was suddenly very quiet and was not used to it, so he said, "I heard that after the school opens the comprehensive class, it will also open a simulated mecha training ground for first-year students to use. It will be more convenient to carry out mecha training then."

After all, the mechs they use for their mech practice classes belong to the school. Since the students aren't familiar with mechs yet, there are many restrictions on their operation, preventing them from fighting freely. Opening up the training ground would be much more convenient.

Jiang Hui thought this way, and therefore she was quite looking forward to the big class a month later.

“A simulated training ground? I remember using this a lot for training when I was in school. It wasn’t until I went to a higher academy that I had more real-world training. For you, a Level B training ground is more or less enough. You won’t have too many obstacles in adapting to it later.”

A B-level simulation training ground... does it even have multiple levels? The technology in this interstellar world has indeed reached a level beyond her imagination. Everything is divided into several levels, and the functions and effects of different levels are all different.

However, she had only heard that the mecha training ground was going to open, but didn't know what level it would be. Jiang Hui's questioning gaze unconsciously drifted to Stark next to her. Stark was also looking at her and casually replied, "Level B, it was just approved by the Legion's upper echelons."

"It was approved by the Legion again? The Legion has been quite active here this year... In previous years, it didn't seem to manage this area much."

“It has happened in previous years as well.” However, the Legion mainly supports the universities in the inner star systems, and has not intervened in the management of the permanent star systems for many years. Stark tapped the table of the observation station with the back of his finger.

"You didn't mention it to Major General Yusso, did you?" Nierqi asked jokingly.

Now Jiang Hui was genuinely curious. She had heard others say that the school had been making too many moves this year. Not only had new shareholders gotten involved, but the school had also spent a lot of money replacing a batch of outdated equipment.

She also heard from Hillman that the board of directors had proposed reforming the school board and creating a new set of rules. The old management system was simply too outdated and rigid for the current educational environment, making the school far less vibrant than its peers.

All of this happened this year, the year she enrolled in school. Jiang Hui certainly wasn't so narcissistic as to think it was some kind of protagonist effect; she just felt that everything was too coincidental, and that she and her group had truly caught a lucky break.

Now, listening to Nie Erqi's words, it seems to have a different meaning... Could it be that it wasn't just a matter of catching a good time, but rather that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes?

Because she enrolled this year, and Stark also started coaching this year.

But does the other party hold such a high position in the Eighth Army Corps? Jiang Hui only knew some of Stark's resume and current rank, but was not so clear about his position in the Eighth Army Corps.

“What do you think…” Stark gave Nerch a cold glance, this time it was really cold, his eyes were warning, and he seemed to be really angry.

Nie Erqi was simply curious and couldn't help but blurt it out; it was really just a casual remark. After all, he had worked with the other party for many years and knew that Stark wasn't that kind of person. The other party was meticulous in everything he did and valued seriousness and fairness above all else; how could he possibly interfere with the flow of the legion's resources for Jiang Hui's sake?
It seems that the other party's greatest bias towards Jiang Hui was already evident from the very beginning. He bid farewell to the battlefield where he had fought for half his life and which could have brought him great glory, said goodbye to the superior who was about to give him a major promotion, and left the bustling capital to come to Star 732... all for Jiang Hui, and also to fulfill the promise he made to his friend back then.

He wanted to cultivate Jiang Hui, but only used himself as a resource to favor Jiang Hui. Temporarily abandoning his promises and future to the Imperial Army was already the most selfish thing he had ever done. How could such a person do something like privately using resources?
Nie Erqi suddenly realized that he had started a topic that was not very respectful.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have made up about you. Oh, look at the nonsense I'm spouting, Xiao Jiang Hui, don't take it seriously. Your Uncle Tang is the most fair and just person, he wouldn't stoop to doing such a thing..." The other person shook his head as if giving a bitter smile: "It's probably just a coincidence. You guys just happened to be in the right place at the right time, which is fine too."

Jiang Hui wasn't quite clear about the relationship between the two. In her eyes, Stark glared at Nie Erqi, and then Nie Erqi "surrendered" without saying a word. The speed was astonishing, and there was no trace of the cold and cool guy she had met for the first time.
