The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 612 Confused
Like most people, Jiang Hui adopted the most primitive method—run forward, find a direction and keep running forward until there is nowhere left to run, then he will always find a way forward.

If you encounter other crowds, that's even better; you can run in their direction and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Because in this situation, you may not trust anyone else, but you must trust the power of the crowd. After all, everything in this world revolves around people. While it's not to say that the path taken by many is necessarily the right one, the greater the number of people, the greater the likelihood of finding the correct path.

Especially in an open assessment like this, where no specific questions are provided, you definitely need to gather in crowded areas. This makes it easier for the assessors to distribute questions behind the scenes. How can the system assign questions to you if you're lying in a corner all day?

This approach proved to be correct, and it's likely that more than one person thought the same thing. After Jiang Hui ran for a while, he gradually discovered that there were many people running around on the plains, turning this unified entrance exam into a survival challenge in the wilderness.

Jiang Hui was initially wary of these unfamiliar candidates, worried that there might be some traps, such as someone sabotaging her halfway through, and that the unified recruitment might end before it even started.

However, she later realized what a trap it was. Everyone had parachuted in unarmed and couldn't find their way. Who had the time or energy to care about others? Especially some candidates who had learned the ropes in advance and were confident in their abilities, they rushed forward without looking back, hoping to reach the next stage as soon as possible.

So everyone was heading in the same direction. Jiang Hui thought to herself, and after running for a while, she realized why everyone was running this way. Because soon, she saw a forest stretching as far as the eye could see, its length unknown, with undulating mountains disappearing into it in the distance.

Is this the actual venue for the unified entrance examination?
Jiang Hui looked back in the direction she had come from and found that the landscape was completely different from when she came; as far as the eye could see, there was a flat, boundless plain.

But she clearly remembered turning several times before getting here; the entire route couldn't possibly be a straight line. However, just before she reached this boundless forest, everything behind her shifted to a wide-angle view. The world automatically adjusted its orientation and corrected its bugs, showcasing the powerful self-correcting capabilities of the simulated data world. The entire area seemed to be divided between the forest and the plains, clearly indicating to everyone that this was their next step, with no other choice.

Even as she stood there, people continued to approach from afar, but each one stopped in front of the vast forest—they simply weren't that bold.

Not everyone is like Jiang Hui and his classmates who come to participate in the unified entrance examination knowing nothing. Many students have already learned about the direction of the unified entrance examination from their parents. This type of civil service examination tests students' comprehensive abilities, requiring not only their professional knowledge but also their adaptability and expansion capabilities as shown on average.

Therefore, they set up a comprehensive venue, which not only has various levels, level design, and hidden content, but also naturally includes creatures like star beasts.

But now they have no mechs, not even a wire; they're completely unarmed, just dumped here. The organizers didn't provide them with anything; they just sent them in. If they were in the forest in this situation, who knows what they would encounter?
They wouldn't be so arrogant as to think their physical bodies could withstand powerful star beasts; being kicked out of the game by mistake would be a huge loss.

But they didn't go in, and more and more people were arriving... They were about to lose this opportunity, and they were unwilling to give up.

After a moment's hesitation, someone reacted and went in first. "Whatever, I'll die if I have to. I might as well take a gamble; staying outside doesn't guarantee I'll pass the unified entrance exam anyway."

Jiang Hui paused briefly outside. She wasn't in a hurry because she noticed some differences among the candidates coming this way. Although they were all simulated as identical generic faces in this scene, making it impossible to recognize anyone, and their clothes and attire looked extremely similar, with only their random codes being different... they couldn't be said to be completely the same; there were still some differences.

He was dressed in white, but the lining was dark red, and he wore nothing else. This striking outfit made Jiang Hui wonder if she would become an easy target if she went into the forest wearing it, because the color combination was really obvious.

However, while some people wore similar outer garments, their inner linings varied in color, some were yellow, some were blue, and she even spotted one or two unusual green ones among the crowd. Of course, there might have been other colors, but these were the only ones she noticed. So, what do these inner lining colors represent?
Was it also randomly assigned?
Jiang Hui observed for a moment and dismissed the idea, because she noticed that there were some differences between the different linings of the equipment.

Those dressed in red are just individuals with nothing. Moreover, the parameters of this simulated body are relatively balanced; the physique is tall, and the physical condition is surprisingly at a B+ level.

While this is the general level for combat-oriented individual students and a strict requirement for enlistment, failing to meet it might even result in disqualification. However, Jiang Hui hasn't undergone any training in recent years, and she might simply not be cut out for it. Even with diligent practice and extra training, her physical fitness has consistently remained at a B- to B level. If she had been injured during that period, her physical condition might have worsened...

This body, with its basic parameters, is so much better than her original one. Jiang Hui realized that people with stronger physiques and physical abilities could move so lightly. This was actually an advantage for her.

Then there were strange patterns under the numbered tags with yellow lining. A small patch of dark patterns was not conspicuous, but for some reason Jiang Hui felt that there seemed to be energy fluctuations on it, which felt unusual.

The blue-lined ones all had a black ring that resembled a headdress, like a helmet, that hugged the head and extended to the chin; I don't know what it was.

And those few in green... oh, because there were so few, they had already disappeared before she could even observe them, probably having gone straight into the inner part of the forest.

These differences clearly caught the attention of some, more so than the forest before them. Because people tend to pay extra attention to what others have that they themselves lack…

Glancing at the candidates who were getting increasingly restless and ready to fight each other, Jiang Hui decided not to stay and get involved any longer, and plunged headfirst into the forest.

Let's talk about it at the next venue.
