The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 447 Make a big one
Jiang Hui originally just wanted to hide in this sandy area, but instead of ambushing enemies and prey, he dug up an... Rank A star beast?
No, she must be mistaken! In the previous level, B-level mechs were slowly appearing, and there weren't even any B-level star beasts. How could an A-level star beast suddenly appear?
What data did the system detect about her that prompted it to summon this thing? This is way too advanced.

Jiang Hui maneuvered the mech closer to the star beast. Hiss… it was incredibly tough. Even through the mech, he could feel the high hardness of its skin. No wonder the mech's rear end had slashed down its neck and destroyed its chance of survival. Was this the defensive power of an A-rank star beast?

Damn it, this has nothing to do with her abilities and operational skills anymore, right? Imagine sending a D-class standard armored vehicle to fight an A-class star beast... Jiang Hui felt that she should report this to the school later and ask her if she had encountered a system data error.

She's already an S-rank, and S-rank is supposed to be pretty powerful... so why was she completely powerless against an A-rank star beast? That's way too much of a stretch.

However, Jiang Hui was unaware that an S-level mental strength rating did not equate to S-level combat power. Mental strength rating was merely a measure of power. If one did not know how to use it or used it improperly, it would be like a child wielding a lethal weapon, unable to fully utilize its potential.

She'd only been involved with mechs for a short time, and her skills were practically nonexistent; she could only manage a few basic maneuvers. Moreover, the mech she was piloting only had D-level stats—how could it possibly possibly be a match for an A-level star beast?

Jiang Hui was prepared to stay on the back of this star beast until the end of this round, but she unexpectedly discovered something different.

--------------

"You're out." Xiao Li went up to greet you.

Holly ultimately couldn't make it past the twelfth round, emerging after about ten stars. When he came out, the outside was still lively, but not as bustling as before; people had dispersed for various reasons.

Holly remained silent, looking at her old classmate who had followed her for many years.

"He's already ranked 481st on the list." Xiao Li's expression was a mixture of happiness for him and a slightly complicated one.

Holly wasn't surprised at all, seemingly unconcerned that he'd made the list on his first try, and instead asked, "What happened?"

Although it was always Shore who followed Holly, the two of them got to know each other a little bit after spending so much time together.

Just as Shaw knew Holly's unparalleled arrogance and self-control, Holly also knew some of the man's little thoughts and ideas—although he seemed not to care, he could still see the man's unnaturalness and slight avoidance at a glance.

Something unexpected must have happened.

He didn't intend to find answers from this person, but instead turned to the group of students in the next class.

Mu Kun naturally didn't have the same conflicted thoughts as Xiao Li. Just as he was about to say something, the gradually dispersing crowd on the other side erupted into another round of discussion.

"Still moving? Is it going to directly break into the 300-level group...?"

"How is that possible? It's only 450... uh, 447 now. It's rising so fast! Could it really be that this person can reach 300 today? This guy is too amazing!"

"That's right, that's the top student in our grade, the very top student."

"Sigh, why isn't anyone looking at the other one? He's also stuck at 481st. On the first day of the new year when the restrictions were lifted, two of them broke through. They're really impressive. It's making me so excited. I'm going to try it tomorrow too. I refuse to believe that I can't get in even once in these three years." "Where do you think that one is? Many of my classmates have gone around asking around, but it seems like he's not in the training grounds in the central area. Nobody knows where he is, and nobody on the school forum has posted his location."

Holly's hearing was excellent; he caught snippets of voices drifting into his ears, and even if he didn't quite catch them, he could generally make out what they were. Besides him, there was another person who had also climbed up the rankings, and with even better results.

“It’s her.” Holly didn’t say her name, but everyone knew who he was referring to.

Xiao Li nodded helplessly.

Holly was already excellent enough, but unfortunately, others were even better. It's human nature to focus more on the one in first place, while the brilliance of the one who comes in second is somewhat overshadowed, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Why did they all have to choose the same day? Is it fate?

--------------

Jiang Hui originally thought she would have to wait for this round to end on this star beast, but unexpectedly, this altitude helped her broaden her horizons.

Perhaps because her movements were finally detected by the system, the enemies hidden in the shadows also appeared one by one.

However, their attacks were ineffective against Jiang Hui, who was currently hundreds of meters in the air. The algorithm of this simulation system was ultimately rather rigid; it took into account the arrangement and classification of enemies, but failed to consider Jiang Hui's actual situation.

Perhaps that's how the system sees it: a target appears, and then a wave of star beasts and mechs are sent to attack it, or a combination of star beasts are sent to intercept a number of mechs to interfere with the attack... But she is actually hundreds of meters in the air right now, with thick sandstorms in between, and the resistance generated in between is completely unpredictable.

So, even if those attacks could harm Jiang Hui, given the distance and her sharp mental acuity, she could easily dodge them. She could even spare some time to target the star beasts and enemies originating from them. It could be said that Jiang Hui was in a completely advantageous position; apart from the A-rank star beast below, no enemy posed a threat to her for the time being.

Jiang Hui took advantage of this opportunity to take down many targets in a row.

But her good fortune didn't last long; the system probably couldn't stand her taking advantage of others like this.

As several long cries reached his ears, Jiang Hui sensed something and immediately dodged the attack of a shadowy creature. He saw that it was a flying quasar beast of unknown species, with five legs, a strange appearance, and a sharp beak as thick as an arm. It looked to have a strong bite force, and he estimated that if it had been allowed to peck at him, the D-class mech would have been hit by more than 50% of its attack.

And that wasn't the worst of it. One, two... a total of thirteen, each one above grade C, their cold-colored, sharp beaks gleaming in the misty sandstorm.

Oh no! She's surrounded in mid-air, with nowhere to escape. She's doomed!

Feeling these huge creatures flapping their wings, which were half a person's height, approaching her, Jiang Hui stiffened for a moment, then gritted her teeth.

If she didn't come up with a plan, she'd probably be killed by these star beasts. Whether she was pushed off or pecked to death, neither was what she wanted... Either way, her nerves would be in excruciating pain!

Since things have come to this, let's go for something big!
