The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 550 A Missed Move?

"Twelve rounds for a thousand interstellar coins, is this robbery?" A male classmate behind him shouted in shock when he saw the price.

"Although... their prizes are really good. I think I even saw the new holographic sensor. I heard that wearing this on a holographic device is really cool."

"You only ever look at those fancy fancy things. Didn't you see those two up there are the real prizes?! Even though they're just returned items, they're absolutely professional-grade. These externally mounted mortars would cost tens or even hundreds of thousands in a specialty store, and here they are, as prizes..."

"And another thing, even the consolation prize is a streaming ticket for a Class D event, which would cost at least 800 Star Coins at full price."

"Hilarious! You get 1000 Star Coins for one game, and this 'consolation prize' you're talking about requires you to hit the target at least three times. If you don't hit it three times, you get nothing. Even if you hit it three times but less than five times, you still only get this so-called consolation prize. 1000 minus 800, that's a loss of 200 Star Coins! This boss is a total swindler!"

"And who wants to watch this Class D competition? I'm so tired of playing..." This student who was spouting nonsense was immediately covered by the person next to him to prevent him from saying anything offensive on the spot.

The people at the front remained unmoved; it was unclear whether they were tempted or not.

Jiang Hui crossed her arms and looked at it for a while, then she made up her mind. She didn't plan to go.

But to his surprise, the person behind him made a move the next moment—it was him.

The crowd, who had been following behind as if waiting for others to express their opinions, let out a small cheer as if they had received some kind of signal, and rushed over. Of course, they didn't forget to call out to Jiang Hui, who didn't seem very enthusiastic, and pull her over to watch as well.

Jiang Hui shook her head inwardly. These guys were probably going to empty the boss's pockets today. Would they be hunted down?
Leading the pack was Jaidi. He'd always been the kind of person who worked incredibly hard. Although he could never surpass the few freaks in the class, he had made it into the top three at least once in the past three years. He even almost knocked Clarence, who was always second, off the list once, because his theoretical knowledge was truly remarkable, making him arguably the most balanced student in Class Two besides Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui noticed that his eyes were fixed on one of the prizes on the upper shelf, and she knew that he probably had his eye on that item.

The stall owner checked the time and wondered if he should pack up and go home. He'd already reached his daily quota, and he felt bad about leaving the stall any longer.

To his surprise, a group of young students suddenly appeared, looking as if they hadn't fully awakened yet. The stall owner was a little anxious, but seeing the children so excited, he didn't want to spoil their fun, so he could only quietly remind them that he would probably only be open until about 2:30.

The group checked the time and found that there was less than half an hour left. This meant that they would probably only be able to play by watching the time run out, and they wouldn't even be able to fulfill their wish of playing a round.

The children were somewhat disappointed, but still politely agreed. They then divided the remaining time equally according to the stall owner's schedule, paying for about 96 bullets in eight installments. The number of bullets was allocated based on individual contributions, and everyone followed suit; what they ultimately received depended on their individual abilities.

It turns out that the teaching quality at Besca Intermediate Academy is quite good. These kids possess speed and judgment that are hard for ordinary people to match, and they manage to achieve something even with the rudimentary guns provided at this stall.

The first five contestants were very efficient, their movements showing no hesitation as they successively claimed the prizes on the second and third tiers from the bottom. One of them almost redeemed something from the second tier from the top, but he hadn't invested enough attempts to win, so he ultimately failed. However, he seemed quite happy throughout, as he had received a rather cool-looking tool, making it worthwhile.

Finally, only one person remained, who also contributed the most money—Jaydi.

Yes, neither Jiang Hui nor Tader participated in the investment. The former hadn't considered participating, while the latter wasn't particularly interested, and shooting wasn't her forte. If she participated, she would inevitably face off against Jaidi, whose greatest skill was shooting… Knowing she was no match for Tader, she didn't want to be a mere supporting character. Unexpectedly, despite the stall owner's repeated urging, Jaidi, who had already grabbed a gun, didn't act immediately. Instead, he turned around, his gaze sharp as an eagle, fixed on Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui: ? ?

No, this guy doesn't want her to do it, does he? She really doesn't want to get involved in this. Dude, don't force her into it...

Unfortunately, the other person seemed completely oblivious to the subtle refusal on her face and spoke up: "Jiang, how about a game?"

I really hate some people who have no sense of boundaries. Jiang Hui was silent for a moment, then glanced at the stall owner and finally nodded in agreement.

Jaidi won four times, half of the total, for a total of forty-eight bullets. The highest prize requires a score of forty-five bullets, and can only be redeemed if the target is met within eight stars; otherwise, one can only redeem the next best item.

These lotus root pigs were very small, and they seemed to be programmed with some random, unpredictable mechanisms. With the guns provided by the stall owner, accuracy was difficult to guarantee; the accuracy of the first few people was generally around 60%, a level that deserved at least a consolation prize.

If Jaidi were to use up all these shots by himself, given his design skills, his accuracy should be around 80%, at least enough to hit the second layer below the positive numbers, and he could also try the first layer.

But what he clearly wanted was the top prize; if they split it, he wouldn't be able to get it. Jiang Hui couldn't understand the other party's purpose in inviting him.

Sure enough, the next moment the other party declared that he wanted to have a duel with Jiang Hui. The two would split the forty-eight shots equally. If Jiang Hui could beat him, he would transfer his hit count to Jiang Hui's account, allowing her to exchange for the item alone. If he won, he would keep the item for himself.

The other party also asked the stall owner if the time limit for redeeming the top prize could be split equally, meaning both of them had to complete it within four minutes...

Jiang Hui checked the time; there were just enough, not too many, not too few. He only had five stars left, which was barely enough time.

Jiang Hui gave him a deep look: "Are you sure?"

Because everyone knows she will win.

The other person looked at her with unwavering determination and stubbornness, as if they were determined to get some kind of answer.

He said it himself, and... let's be a good person today. Jiang Hui glanced at the stall owner who seemed relieved, and nodded in agreement.

The girl walked to a spot next to Jaidi, then picked up the gun provided by the stall owner. The two looked at each other and then fired simultaneously.

"Bang!" "Bang—"
