The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 44 Review Notice
Re-examination.

It turns out that Jiang Hui has been in interstellar space for several days without realizing it.

When she was discharged, the hospital told her to remember to go back for a follow-up examination. Mr. Carlette also prescribed her five days' worth of medicine. She just took one dose before breakfast, and she will finish the last dose tomorrow morning.

No wonder the interstellar people couldn't help but turn slightly pale when talking about mental stabilizers. To be honest, this medicine really doesn't taste good; it makes you feel unwell all day.

It wasn't as severe as that day; she didn't know if the reaction was particularly strong that time because it was her first time taking it. She felt like she was having a heart attack, and she felt that if she had that experience again, she might develop a heart condition even if she didn't already have one.

Later, when she took the medicine again, she still felt as if her heart was being squeezed, her body temperature fluctuated, her cardiovascular system was congested, and her mental body was sometimes weak and sometimes swollen. In short, her mental body felt like it was trapped in a bag that didn't belong to her. Although it was in her own body, it was being tormented as if her soul was leaving her body.

Moreover, every time Jiang Hui took it, she felt a faint, needle-like sensation in her mental energy, a fine, dense feeling that spread across particularly sensitive areas, which was very uncomfortable.

And mental stabilizers? What kind of "stabilizers" are these? Not only are they unstable, but they can also completely disrupt and mess up your mental state, which is as calm as a deep pool of water, without any stabilizing effect whatsoever.

Jiang Hui felt that, based on the reactions and effects of taking the medicine, it would be more appropriate to call it a "restlessness remedy".

The experience of taking this medicine was indeed terrible, but it wasn't entirely without its benefits. Jiang Hui felt that after taking the medicine, her memory began to improve, getting better and better, and her thinking became increasingly clear and lucid.

It's not that the medicine can magically awaken intelligence. Rather, it's more like polishing away the dust and revealing the inner light, giving her a sense of clarity as if she's finally opening her eyes to see the world. Then, she felt as if she had been enlightened, like a dusty pearl being completely wiped clean, revealing its brilliant inner light.

...Well, it's a feeling that's hard to describe. The feeling of being able to sense my own intelligence and brain gradually opening up was truly subtle and strange, unforgettable.

It's no wonder that interstellar people have such a love-hate relationship with this flawed primitive potion; there's a reason for it.

The thought of this made her realize that she only had one left. Unless it was for a specific illness, she wouldn't be able to eat it even if she wanted to. Jiang Hui felt both happy and somewhat disappointed.

She carefully described to the gentle medical staff her general feelings and symptoms after taking the sedative for the past few days, and then told them that she was now mostly fine.

The medical staff member named Sang Sang diligently recorded her description in detail. Jiang Hui guessed that she would probably include this information in her medical record and then submit it along with the medical history to the doctor who would be conducting the follow-up examination, so that her recovery could be assessed as a whole.

“Okay, Ms. Jiang, we understand your situation. Your reactions to the medication are generally normal. Many patients taking similar medications experience similar symptoms. So you don't need to worry too much,” the other party reassured gently.

"So, do you have time to come to the district's Central Hospital for a follow-up examination at 2 PM tomorrow? We will arrange for therapist Michael from the same department to examine you then. Please don't worry, all the therapists in our hospital have been tested and have reliable medical expertise, so even if we change therapists, it won't affect your follow-up visit in any way," the other party explained. "Sure, I have no problem with that," the other party said to Jiang Hui, having gone on and on about changing therapists.

However, Jiang Hui wasn't as concerned as the other party imagined, because on her former home planet, the profession of doctor was inherently quite mobile. Doctors have limited energy and can't be on call 24/7. It's also difficult to guarantee you'll always find the same doctor who treated you last time. As long as there are medical records and files, it doesn't really matter which doctor takes over.

Of course, it's not impossible for a single attending physician to accompany you from beginning to end. But this is only necessary if you're wealthy enough to have a doctor specifically hired to care for you, or for specialized treatment of serious illnesses. And the latter is probably a situation no one wants to encounter.

Jiang Hui had no objection to the change of therapist, and seeing that the time was not an issue, she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll make the appointment for you. A detailed text message will be sent to your personal computer shortly. You just need to arrive at the designated time and place and wait there. If you have any questions, you can call the service hotline above."

Jiang Hui nodded, indicating that she understood.

As if remembering something, the other party added, "There's one more thing I need to remind Ms. Jiang about. The follow-up examination requires the use of large-scale testing equipment, which will comprehensively test your physical functions. One of these tests involves mental strength, which usually requires fasting for half a day and not taking any stimulating drugs such as sedatives for four hours."

Fasting is understandable; it's just about being on an empty stomach. It's surprising that even after all these years of human development, physical examinations still follow the same old rules, unchanged. This is actually quite simple.

However, she needs to take the tranquilizer early. Her appointment is at 2 PM, and if she takes the medication late in the morning, she might have to wait until the drug's expiration date has passed.

Jiang Hui was afraid she would forget, so she specially made two time-limited reminders on her personal computer. They would pop up automatically at set times to remind her to do something.

After explaining everything, the other party shut down the personal terminal, ending the conversation.

After shutting down the personal terminal, Jiang Hui fell into a brief daze. What the other person had mentioned reminded her of many things, not things about her, Jiang Hui, a human from Earth, but memories remaining in the original body of this body.

Mental strength testing was a completely unfamiliar term to Jiang Hui, but for the original owner of this body, it was an inescapable shadow that caused the tragedy of her life.

The original owner of this body came to a lower-level star system largely because of a mental strength test she took six months ago. It was that test that made her realize her somewhat awkward position within her family, thus prompting her to seriously consider her future path.
