The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 502 The Eve of Departure
Jiang Hui sometimes feels that everything in this world is truly arranged by fate.

Just two days after Jiang Hui told Zhou Xiuwen about this on Saturday, Stark detained her after class.

Jiang Hui knew the other party was probably referring to the final trial, and that the result was likely out.

Uncle Tang remained expressionless as always, so she couldn't glean any information from his face.

But the other person glanced at her with a strange expression and suddenly said, "You can go on a trip now."

Jiang Hui was at a loss for words, feeling both disappointed and relieved. Just as she was about to reply, she heard the other person say, "The final verdict is in. You passed."

Jiang Hui: ? ?

No, doesn't the driving test conflict with the travel schedule...? Even if she passes, she still can't go on vacation. And your overreaction really puts one's nerves to the test.

“There’s quite a bit of a coincidence about your exam.” Stark handed Jiang Hui a sealed bag, gesturing for her to open it herself.

There weren't many things inside: the final review notice, the admission ticket, a disposable digital magnetic wristband for the exam, and a complete set of exam instructions.

Jiang Hui ignored the fluff and focused precisely on the relevant information on the admission ticket.

The time was indeed the same, but her exam location was surprisingly chosen to be on Atlantis.

Jiang Hui: ?
Is it really that casual? The test location was randomly assigned and it just happened to coincide with their travel destination. That's outrageous... No wonder Stark said that. It's too much of a coincidence.

"What, I was just saying, but you're really thinking about going on a trip?" Stark glanced at her sideways, his serious expression making one involuntarily straighten their back.

Jiang Hui shook her head: "I just wanted to... save on the round-trip boat fare."

Her first thought was this. This interstellar tourism was a target set by the Interstellar Education Bureau, with funds allocated to subsidize students' trips. Basic expenses such as ship tickets and accommodation were almost entirely waived, which could be considered a form of social welfare.

“You’ll have to take a private jet,” Stark coldly interrupted her thoughts once again.

Yes, this driving test is extremely rigorous, requiring identity and background checks to be repeated dozens of times. This is actually to prevent powerful individuals from engaging in fraudulent practices. Every step is strictly controlled, requiring multiple approvals and oversights. The entire testing process is rigorously managed, and even the journey to the testing location is handled by a dedicated spaceship.

Hearing this, Jiang Hui felt much more at ease. She had thought she would have to travel to and from the strange planet alone to take the exam, but it turned out there was a special line arranged, so this trip would be much less troublesome.

"Are you nervous?" the other person asked, seemingly jokingly.

Jiang Hui glanced at the other man with some surprise. This man rarely joked. Although he had always been very good to Jiang Hui, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was like a second father to her, perhaps it was his nature, but he didn't seem to know how to get along with children. He habitually used the methods he had in the army, which made him seem a bit cold and unapproachable.

However, Jiang Hui wasn't really a child at heart; she adapted well and knew that this seemingly cold but warm-hearted uncle was genuinely nurturing her.

So Jiang Hui honestly shook her head. She wasn't the first person to ask her this, but she wasn't nervous at all; in fact, she was a little excited.

Jiang Hui has been studying all these years, but she has had very few opportunities to truly see the world. She longs to see what the outside world is like and to truly adjust her mindset. Clearly, this exam is a great opportunity for her to step out of her comfort zone.

“Do your best. If you can do it, don’t look back,” Stark whispered.

Before Jiang Hui could respond, he resumed his normal tone and said, "There was another student who was in the same class as you, but he had some family matters to attend to and couldn't go. So you'll have to go by yourself this time."

"Just me?" Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised.

Normally, Besca Intermediate Academy would submit applications for three to five qualified students. Although it's possible that none of them would be approved in the end, this process happens every year.

However, this year is quite different. There are many exceptionally talented individuals, such as Holly Mukun from Class 1, Jiang Hui and Clarence from Class 2, and Pavlarava from Class 3. In recent years, several promising talents have emerged, making them far more outstanding than the previous year. Many of these individuals could try to apply for admission, but whether they will be approved depends on their individual abilities or connections.

However, it was somewhat surprising that only Jiang Hui passed the final review and was confirmed to take the exam.

“Clarence has other plans at home, so we won’t consider them for now.” Stark knew that Jiang Hui and Clarence had a good relationship, so he pointed out what she was concerned about.

As expected, the eldest young master comes from a very strict family with a patriarch behind him, so his actions are always more meticulous. This suggests there might be other plans. Jiang Hui was not surprised at all.

Moreover, Clarence had taken leave at the beginning of the month and hadn't been seen for a whole month, leaving only a text message saying "Don't bother me if you need anything." Jiang Hui didn't want to bother him easily, but she didn't expect that he would still remember the exam and have given some instructions to Stark.

"Holley went to the capital." Stark didn't say what Holly was doing in the capital, and Jiang Hui didn't ask further, but it must be more important than this exam.

Everyone else failed the review. The only one who passed was fully awakened but couldn't go for some reason, so in the end, only Jiang Hui was able to go.

However, the school board was extremely surprised and delighted that such a person could emerge from this year's class, because for many, many years in a row, no one from their school had been able to pass the final review and take the exam before fully awakening. Jiang Hui has definitely broken the record again.

So regardless of her final exam results, the teachers in the academic affairs office had already come up with a slogan, just waiting for Jiang Hui, this genius girl, to become the new recruitment slogan for Beska Intermediate Academy.

Jiang Hui was unaware that some teachers had already set their sights on her. After receiving the exam notice, she focused wholeheartedly on preparing for the exam, adjusting her mindset, and waiting for that day to arrive.

Once things settled down, she finally calmed down completely, and all the previous feelings of helplessness vanished, returning her to normal—although she always appeared quite normal to everyone else.

Finally, on the last day of the month, Jiang Hui set off with her classmates on their trip, but they eventually parted ways at the port.

On one side are ordinary civilian spaceships, and on the other side are military starships directly borrowed from the military.

After watching the students happily board the ship, Jiang Hui turned his gaze to the enormous, undeniable structure on the other side.
