Chapter 42 Professional
By the time she got home, it was already night. She figured no one would be on duty at the intermediate academy, and if she called now, only AI would answer. This matter with Jiang Hui was truly beyond the capabilities of AI, so she planned to call again first thing tomorrow morning.

Then I'll postpone my meeting with Ms. Jian, the lawyer, until tomorrow. She's had a long day and deserves some rest.

With something on his mind, Jiang Hui went home and, following his memory, dug out the brochures from various secondary colleges that he had obtained when choosing a school.

Beska Intermediate Academy is an upper-middle-class intermediate school on Planet 732, designed for teenagers aged 15 to 18. It offers a wide variety of majors, basically every major imaginable on the market.

Furthermore, due to their military background, their military-related majors are quite good, ranking among the top on the planet. It's said that these majors can even provide graduates with direct access to military universities, though this requires competition and assessment and isn't easily attainable.

Of course, schools have military-related majors, as well as general majors. In interstellar space, ordinary people still make up the majority, and society needs various talents to help it function.

Jiang Hui flipped through their brochure, which was thicker than a book, and found it quite interesting. She stayed up very late reading it and forgot about her bedtime.

Just before midnight, she inexplicably entered the space, as if forced in; she was inside in the blink of an eye. This made Jiang Hui realize once again the strangeness of this spiritual space.

People were already inside, and she had made sufficient preparations, so she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

This time, Jiang Hui was smarter. Before looking at the booklet, she fussed around for a while, intending to bring some things that could pass the time into that strange space as well. So she deliberately memorized some things that could relieve boredom and bring fun.

Unfortunately, almost all of them failed in the end, probably due to a lack of precision. The quantum computer, the smart game console, the interstellar puzzle toys, and so on all failed to appear in the mental space. Instead, the inconspicuous brochure, which was not intended to be brought in in the first place, was brought in.

This brochure came from Besca Intermediate Academy, where Jiang Hui was about to enroll. She happened to turn to the last page in the last moment before losing consciousness in reality.

Jiang Hui flipped through it, and whether it was because her current body had a better memory or because of the space, the entire manual was copied down word for word, creating a real booklet within this space.

Helpless, Jiang Hui could only continue reading the booklet to pass the time.

Although Jiang Hui felt the chances of changing her major after missing the deadline were slim, she still held a sliver of hope. So, when she came in, she flipped through the entire booklet of major descriptions, naturally focusing on general programs. She was well aware of her limitations; anything beyond her capabilities was beyond her reach.

She actually managed to find a suitable major for her to study and work in from a large number of majors that sounded very interstellar.

One is ancient language and literature, and the other is the study of human origins.

Oh, the former is a major that studies languages ​​similar to ancient and modern languages. He specifically looked it up, and those so-called ancient languages ​​are basically similar to the language system of Earth, maybe with a few minor differences, but learning them shouldn't be a problem for her. After all, even if she doesn't know other less common languages, she can certainly speak Chinese and Korean, so there shouldn't be much pressure regarding her studies and employment.

The latter refers to the culture of the interstellar people on their home planet before their migration. From what she currently knows, the culture on her home planet seems subtly similar to that of Earth, giving the impression of shared origins. Even if she hasn't eaten pork, she's seen pigs run, so she figured studying this wouldn't be too stressful. Yes, that's just how unambitious Jiang is. She has absolutely no intention of choosing any profession that sounds like it involves gunfire and danger. She just wants to live a peaceful and uneventful life.

This was a valuable life lesson she learned as a seasoned veteran of society back on Earth. "Don't work too hard, or you'll become unhappy..." Though just a joke, there's some truth to it. Besides, given Jiang Hui's situation, it's best not to stand out too much; living a peaceful and uneventful life is her only wish.

Putting down the booklet, she had probably already decided on her major, and even prepared two backups. So Jiang Hui became idle again. The only things she could call entertaining in her space were the two booklets, both of which she had already read and found uninteresting. Even if she read them again, it wouldn't take much time. So she might as well just go to sleep.

So Jiang Hui simply fell asleep in the mental space and exited the space.

However, this time when she woke up, she had no intention of continuing to sleep in real life. She got out of bed briskly, ready to find some fun for herself.

Let's watch a set of interstellar dramas about family and friends, get a feel for the lives of interstellar people, and then have an interstellar version of baked fries with meat sauce and a soft drink.

This sounds like a leisurely and comfortable life, but Jiang Hui didn't quite taste it. Sigh, how am I supposed to live like this from now on?
Having not slept all night, as dawn broke, she got up, tidied herself up, and went outside to sit in the hall.

She now confirmed that the cycle for entering that mysterious space was roughly twenty-four hours, once a day. However, this cycle wasn't fixed but rather irregular; it could occur at any time within the twenty-four-hour period. If she didn't enter within the twenty-four-hour cycle, some kind of coercive force would automatically transfer her into that mental space.

Then you have to stay in the space for 24 hours before you can come out.

So that means Jiang Hui has to live forty-eight hours a day.

Furthermore, her actions within the dream space might also affect reality. For example, if she sleeps too much in this dream space, she'll find it difficult to fall back asleep after waking up. If she eats too much in the space, she'll have difficulty developing an appetite outside, even if she's actually very hungry.

Jiang Hui believes this strange space is a static space that leans towards spiritual essence.

She has 48 hours in a day, and she truly makes the most of every minute. People who lack time must be very envious of her.

Life is short, and time is never enough. Having twice the time of others also means having twice the possibilities.

However, for Jiang Hui, who is accustomed to the fast-paced entertainment of modern times, doubling the amount of time is a burden for now. She genuinely doesn't know how she's going to pass the long days in a place without a personal computer, mobile phone, or television. If she had a reasonable way to pass the time, she'd probably be much happier with such a cheat code.
