The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 506 Call
With the other two companions out, only Jiang Hui and Taylor, whom she wasn't actually that familiar with, remained in the lounge.

This guy is clearly a good talker, but he's different from Hillman's overly familiar manner; he seems a bit more calculating. However, he's generally quite straightforward and knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries, so even if he openly probes or inquires, he doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Hui didn't care about the other party's tentative probing, which resembled the way a small animal stretched out its claws. She simply focused on filtering out the useful information she wanted to know.

So she now knew that the three people in the lounge were indeed acquaintances, and that they were all not fully awakened.

Sanger Taylor comes from Elung Academy in the Central Sector, while the other two come from another prestigious school in the Central Sector, Gruy Academy.

These all sound like people of extraordinary background. Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised.

Even in his memories, the original owner's family, which had a decent background, was only a medium-sized family in the inner star system. However, the Jiang family, which was able to settle and expand its territory in the Da Sui star system of the inner star system, was naturally considered top-notch in the entire interstellar space.

The Jiang family has existed for thousands of years and has produced many prominent figures in the past. Currently, there are also many family members who serve in the military and politics, making it a traditional Chinese-Korean family with a rich heritage.

But compared to those truly upper-class or aristocratic families, it's more than an insurmountable gap; they are completely unrelated worlds.

If the original owner had chosen to stay in the inner star system, aside from other factors, the secondary education would naturally have been better. After all, the inner star system was the most prosperous area for secondary education in the entire empire, with the vast majority of the best schools concentrated there.

The educational environment in the central star region is different. It is the home of higher education institutions. No matter how famous a university becomes, it will regret for life that it cannot establish itself in the central star region.

Nearly half of the Empire's key public universities are located in the Central Star Region, and seven of the Empire's top ten universities are in the Central Star Region, while the remaining three are distributed in other star systems... It can be said that the Central Star Region can almost be called the cradle of high-level talents.

Therefore, the inner star system and the central star system have different focuses in education, which is also the direction that the Imperial Program hopes to guide.

Of course, the Central Sector does have intermediate academies, but they are relatively few. Furthermore, due to the scarcity of places and differentiated policies, intermediate academies in the Central Sector have almost become synonymous with the elite. Therefore, those who can attend intermediate academies in the Central Sector are mostly wealthy and powerful, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Don't misunderstand, Jiang. I'm not like those people who keep track of social status all day long. You don't know that in recent years, the capital has increasingly promoted the theory of status and bloodline. Don't you think about how, going back dozens of generations, everyone's ancestors fought their way up step by step with blood and sweat? Where did these born nobles come from?" the other person said with some emotion.

Without a noble soul, even if you are given a noble body, you are still just an ordinary person.

For some reason, Jiang Hui suddenly thought of this sentence.

“So what—at least my ancestors accomplished enough to protect our family’s descendants. Who are you complaining about? Taylor, don’t forget, you’re among those you despise.” A cold, hard voice suddenly broke through, interrupting the slightly tense atmosphere between the two.

The two who had gone out earlier had returned sometime earlier, presumably having overheard Taylor's words. One turned and went back to his seat, while the other looked visibly displeased. Jiang Hui was fairly certain that this man was a staunch supporter of the theory of lineage and bloodline, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry over such a remark. It was clear that Taylor wasn't good at hiding his emotions, and realizing he'd been caught red-handed, he was immediately somewhat embarrassed.

Upon hearing the other party's highly pointed remarks, he immediately became somewhat angry. Taylor admitted that he had indeed just exchanged a few "casual words" with Jiang Hui, but he was actually referring to that type of person without even specifying her.

This guy actually pointed his finger at him and started cursing. Isn't Springer a bit too arrogant?

“Am I wrong? It’s none of your business who I am. Rather than my position, I think you need to examine yourself. I know you come from a privileged background, but that doesn’t give you the right to dictate how others make friends or what their opinions are. Did I ask for your opinion? No, so please don’t interfere in my affairs,” Taylor said indifferently.

Jiang Hui looked at him with some surprise, feeling that she might need to get to know this new classmate again. That was a swift and decisive counterattack.

However, the other party was clearly not the type to back down verbally. He crossed his arms and sneered, "I don't want to get involved in your petty affairs, but I'm just reminding you not to spread rumors—your Elongers are the ones who most advocate this viewpoint, so don't mislead others. And why don't you tell her... what kind of treatment do you get at this school for holding this viewpoint?"

Sensing the malice in the other person's words, Taylor's expression gradually changed, and his face turned gloomy.

After all that back and forth, nobody was happy in the end.

How did this escalate so much? Jiang Hui was speechless. She wondered if she should follow the other person and leave quickly, feeling that the atmosphere here was gradually becoming unbearable for her.

Jiang Hui disliked the feeling of being dragged into chaos.

Suddenly, she looked somewhat surprised. Who was calling her via personal terminal at this hour?

However, her friends rarely communicate directly via their personal computers like this; they would at least send a text message to ask if it's inconvenient. Especially when they know she's busy, they're even less likely to make the special effort to communicate via personal computer.

Jiang Hui couldn't understand why the two were arguing. She nodded slightly to Taylor and then quickly walked outside.

Springer glanced at Jiang Hui, a rather amused smile playing on his lips, a hint of disdain unconsciously creeping into his eyes: "This is the 'new friend' you've chosen? He doesn't seem very impressive. But only commoners like him wouldn't know your name, so you'll have to stay with these kinds of people."

“I certainly don’t have the same ‘discerning eye’ as Springer, but I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about my situation, even more so than my family…” Taylor chuckled. “But you really don’t need to worry. It’s my business what kind of friends I make. You should worry about your own family matters.”

"And—if you ask me, your taste is really bad! That person just now was a hundred times better than your so-called 'good friends.' After all, he was an S-rank or higher incompletely awakened individual; there probably aren't many like that even in the capital, right?"
Taylor must have said something that struck a nerve with the other person, because their expression immediately turned fierce.
