The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

"Hahahaha, good heavens, how did she do that? There's no trick to it at all..." And she actually succeeded. Major General Zeng couldn't help but laugh heartily, attracting the curious onlookers of the others.

What did the other party see that made them so happy? Although Major General Bona, the chief instructor of the individual combat department, was not the stern and unsmiling type, nor was he as overly serious as Colonel Xu of their grade, he was not a cheerful person either. Or rather... no one who has reached their position is simple, and they rarely show their joy so openly.

"How did she do it?" Even Xu Dinglan, who had been watching all along and frowning repeatedly, couldn't find any fault with Jiang Hui for the time being. Although the other party's plan looked rough and even a bit reckless, and seemed quite chaotic, she was actually able to steadily carry it out according to her own line of thought.

In contrast, the group at Jiwei Tower, who had all the advantages of favorable timing, location, and popular support, were completely outmaneuvered and left with nothing. Even after discovering the problem, they still chose to let the wolf into their house, pushing things to an even worse point.

That's a child from the Wu family.

In fact, Xu Dinglan always judged based on the issue, not the person. He would at most give a second glance to the most outstanding students, but he wouldn't make trouble by singled out the worst ones for criticism. Although he did have students he favored, Colonel Xu's style of doing things was remarkably fair; he was the kind of person who taught without discrimination and never resorted to underhanded tactics.

Therefore, such explicit statements that name names are extremely rare, which shows that the person is quite angry.

It's understandable; he wouldn't react this way to someone else. The problem is, this Wu family is the same Wu family as his great-nephew's Wu family. Xu Dinglan's sister married someone with the surname Wu. Wu Shi is his sister's grandson, that guy 1002, who is Xu Dinglan's great-nephew—quite a coincidence.

Xu Dinglan and his sister are quite far apart in age; he wasn't even born when his sister got married. Wu Shi is Xu Yue's youngest son. This great-uncle and his grand-nephew are from different generations and have hardly any interaction.

In addition, he was as unyielding as a block of iron, and his word was law, even towards his own sister. He only glanced at his grandson briefly when receiving the files, and never considered offering him any favors.

But seeing him being tricked like this, practically handing over victory, made Xu Dinglan angrier and angrier.

Did this kid inherit even a fraction of the Xu family's intelligence? Or was he completely influenced by those bookworms?

Yes, Xu Dinglan disliked his brother-in-law very much, and he also disliked the entire Wu family. The Wu family was a typical academic family; they couldn't be called a prestigious family, but they were still quite wealthy. The most successful member of their family was probably Xu Dinglan's brother-in-law, Wu Yu, who currently worked at the Imperial Research Institute.

Wu Shi was one of the few in their family who was interested in joining the army. The other younger members either worked in general or pursued research careers, making Wu Shi stand out.

But Xu Dinglan now knows that this guy, just like his grandfather, focuses his cunning on unnecessary things.

They've already discovered it, yet they still let it in. Isn't that like putting a wild beast in a cage?

“Colonel Xu, I told you you should have kept a close eye on him. Don’t underestimate him; that little guy knows everything.” Bona laughed.

His gaze immediately fell on the person on the screen, and his eyes suddenly deepened. Xu Dinglan was still young. He was extremely talented and held a high position in the military for many years, rising through the ranks without ever experiencing a period of low status. In battles, he always had ample troops, resources, and manpower.

His circumstances were completely different from Jiang Hui's current situation, so it was naturally difficult for him to understand the children's plight. This was indeed his shortcoming; Jiang Hui's career had progressed too smoothly, causing her to overlook many things. As he said, Jiang Hui's plan was only a very crude one, lacking even much design, but it couldn't withstand the lack of awareness of 1002 and the others, giving her an opportunity to take advantage.

Although a well-planned battlefield requires meticulous planning and a strong and well-equipped army to ensure success, many famous battles in history were often won under pressure during crises.

Jiang Hui is bold yet meticulous; he dares to think and actually does, especially in his control over mental energy. His thinking is incredibly precise, and his power is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Wu Shi suspected a trap, but his arrogance prevented him from taking any effective preventative measures, leading to this situation.

The difference in their overall strategic vision was immediately apparent; one of them wasn't even in command.

Major General Bernard quite admired the girl, so he paid her a lot of attention. Her rise to this position was indeed remarkable; compared to the specially recruited ones, she was less conventional and more quick-witted.

Unlike Xu Dinglan, Major General Bona climbed his way up from the bottom. He didn't have exceptional talent and had been working hard and consistently to catch up with others over the years, but now he was nearing the end of his career. However, seeing these young men in the prime of their lives rekindled his fighting spirit, and he wanted to promote a few more brave generals in his lifetime.

Jiang Hui's performance was outstanding in every aspect, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

He seemed to suddenly remember something: "Come to think of it... someone like her, who is an S-rank Awakener even before fully awakening, must be within the scope of special recruitment or direct recruitment. How come I don't seem to have seen her information?"

Major General Bona remembered looking at the list several times, but he didn't see this person's information on it. Otherwise, he should have at least some impression of him. At least it wouldn't feel like he was meeting this person for the first time.

"The unified enrollment system has been in place for so many years... it still has its merits," Xu Dinglan said in silence.

He didn't say it too bluntly, but he basically got it right.

This unified recruitment is open to the entire intergalactic world, and is a stage for the scions of great families and even ordinary people to showcase themselves. Therefore, many people refuse direct or special recruitment and want to be admitted to their ideal academy through their own abilities.

Jiang Hui... is probably an example of this.

Bona shook his head: "No, I've also seen the list of those eliminated or rejected for direct recruitment, and she's not on it. Besides, given her level of mental strength and potential... it's not like we're the only ones who want to recruit her. Don't forget, some guys haven't exactly been playing dirty tricks over the years, and I don't believe they can sit still with someone like this kid." It's strange that the major universities wouldn't let go of a child with extraordinary talent so easily.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing remarkably similar thoughts in each other's eyes.

So someone... locked up that child's file.
