The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 80 Hungry

After saying that, Stark simply ignored the group of audacious brats and turned to the remaining group of students who were too frightened to move by the commotion. He then gently allowed them to sit down and rest for fifteen minutes.

Next, we need to deal with Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui is very perceptive. From her brief experience with this Stark class teacher, she knows he is someone who values ​​rules and pursues fairness and justice.

Although Jiang Hui's being taken away from the testing site was beyond her control and unavoidable, as she was unaware that she had developed a so-called closed brain region, she did indeed miss this period. It's unclear whether she delayed everyone's time, but given Coach Stark's style, it's unlikely she would simply return to the team for training unscathed.

Maybe... maybe I won't end up with that group of people over there?

"It seems you know my style quite well. That's good. Go ahead, run as much as you can at the 100-kilometer standard, but don't let me know you're slacking off. Don't worry, if any of you faint... I'll bring you all back safely. I won't leave you to spend the night out in the open."

Jiang Hui: ...

What could she do but accept it? She had no choice but to accept it. She didn't want to challenge this Spartan instructor; she had a feeling the outcome would be disastrous.

Good heavens, 100 kilometers... not 100 meters. Back on Earth, Jiang Hui couldn't even run a thousand meters, and she'd be out of breath after running 800. It's unimaginable that she's now going to challenge herself with 100 kilometers, a hundred times faster. Could this be her final destination in interstellar warfare?
Helplessly, the group of troublemakers who had been thoroughly subdued also resigned themselves to their fate and headed to the side track. Jiang Hui naturally had no choice but to follow as well, leaving only the dozen or so obedient lucky ones trembling in place.

Although they seemed to have gotten away with it by sheer luck, after witnessing the style of their Stark homeroom teacher, they all had a bad feeling. Looking at their dejected classmates preparing to run dozens of kilometers, they didn't feel any schadenfreude; instead, they felt a sense of shared sorrow.

Then, the first day of military training was spent in silent groans and groans. And this was only the first day!

Sure enough, even with Jiang Hui's current interstellar physique, she collapsed on the spot before running twenty kilometers and twenty laps without any prior training. When she woke up, she was already receiving treatment in the medical tents set up by the school for freshmen.

The school set up small beds for the students so that the poor kids who had fainted wouldn't be lying on the floor. And looking around, there were so many people lying there, it gave Jiang Hui a chill down her spine. Could these people have also fainted from the training? This military training was far too intense.

As soon as she woke up, a medical staff member pushed a cart around and quickly took her physical measurements. She then insisted on giving her a large cup of salt water tea to replenish the water and energy she had lost during training.

"Student, the bell just rang, the military training is over. Your class advisors have notified that students in the medical tents do not need to return to their original locations. Go back, get some rest and a good meal, and report to the location on time tomorrow."

It sounds pretty humane, doesn't it... but Jiang Hui wasn't happy at all. What awaited her tomorrow? Did she have to run the remaining eighty kilometers? If so, she'd rather die—

"Hey classmate, are you feeling alright? Do you need some more energy-boosting medicine? You look a little pale."

This is because he was scared white.

Jiang Hui shook her head and said it was nothing, she was just a little hungry.

The gentle female medical worker breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Jiang Hui, saying, "Then you should hurry up and go to the canteen for dinner. There won't be much food left if you're late. Eat well, your physical indicators are a little low." She looked at the data on Jiang Hui's report and gave her a bottle of fast-acting energy supplement.

Seeing that the people in the medical tents were gradually waking up, Jiang Hui thought it best to hurry up and eat his fill in the canteen. After all, even if you die, you should at least be a starving ghost, right?

With that thought in mind, she immediately got up, tidied herself up, and headed towards the canteen.

Even though Jiang Hui is usually a picky eater, she couldn't resist ordering two meals at night, which cost her double the bill. As she ate, she couldn't help but wonder if she would ever eat herself into poverty if she continued to eat like this and pay this much.

She had been running all day, and on the way back she was exhausted, her hands and feet feeling like they didn't belong to her anymore. Apart from her mind still being somewhat clear, all she wanted to do was rush back to her comfortable bed and get a good night's sleep.

It's a pity the journey back is so long. Jiang Hui finally experienced firsthand the hardship of her dormitory being incredibly far from the teaching area. Will it always be like this?!
She finally returned to her dormitory just as it got dark.

Some people said that it only gets dark at six o'clock, and it didn't take much time... However, military training ended at four o'clock in the afternoon, which means it took her nearly two hours to get back to the dormitory.

After returning to her dorm, Jiang Hui set several extra alarms for herself, just in case she actually slept through the entire 24 hours.

But as the saying goes, "misfortunes never come singly," and exactly what you feared came to pass.

She had finally had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up she almost saw stars. She was so hungry that she was dizzy and fainted.

How long has she been asleep? It must have been more than ten days, right? How could she be so hungry... She felt like she was starving to death, and the lower part of her stomach didn't even feel like her own anymore.

Jiang Hui was somewhat unable to think clearly. Her first instinct was to get up and run to the kitchen. She didn't even think about whether she was at her home in the fourth interstellar ring, in her school dormitory, or in her mental space... or whether there was even a kitchen here. All she wanted to do was grab something edible to fill her stomach.

Then, perhaps because she was too hungry, Jiang Hui felt weak in her legs, the light and shadows in her vision flickered, and she lost her sense of distance. She took several steps and then fell down. Because of the hunger that was almost killing her, she forced herself to get up and move a few more steps before she finally felt that she had crawled to a somewhat familiar place.

Fortunately, she was very familiar with this place by instinct. Following her instincts, she opened the bag and pulled out some unknown stuff. With a "rip," she tore it open, and the contents, along with a fragrant aroma, scattered out. The tempting smell entered her nose, making her stomach ache even more. Then, without caring about anything else, she grabbed a handful from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth.

Awesome! So delicious, wow!

Jiang Hui forced four or five handfuls of food into her mouth before the terrifying sensation of seeing stars finally subsided a little, but she still looked very weak.

I'm still so hungry...
