The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 81 A Strange Feeling of Hunger
Water, water! Someone ate a little something and then felt thirsty again, so she gulped down several bottles of water. The bottled water that she kept at home as "hard currency" was all drunk up by her.

After that deep-seated thirst was satisfied, the dizzying sensation subsided considerably, and I was able to start thinking a little more.

She propped herself up and looked around, finding herself indeed in the mental space.

That's true. She can only sleep for ten hours in the real world, let alone sleep through all twenty-four hours in the mental space. She must have slept like a log.

Jiang Hui found herself lying face down in the living room. The thing that had saved her life was a huge bag of potato chips stored in the snack cabinet, and she was drinking from a neatly stacked bottle of water next to her.

It's about five or six steps away from the kitchen. If I had to move there earlier, would I have starved to death in the mental space?

She should be thankful that she was familiar with the house and could instinctively find the nearest food, which saved her life.

Still so hungry, how could I be so hungry? Jiang Hui, who had stuffed a few pieces of dried tofu into her mouth, finally realized that she had to eat, eat it all, eat as much as she could.

So the girl, who was half-lying on the ground, raised her head and looked at the stove in the open kitchen. Her eyes gleamed with a hungry wolf's light.

Steaming hot rice, steaming hot dishes, steaming hot pot ingredients such as sliced ​​beef soaked in the rich broth or vegetables in broth, taro crispy on the outside and soft on the inside... No, if she keeps thinking about it, she'll be driven crazy by her own cravings.

To be a full-fledged glutton, she was determined! Jiang Hui straightened up abruptly, her weak legs straining as she leaned against the cabinet beside her, her body hunched over, and slowly made her way to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the coffee table was covered with fresh ingredients, and a large pot of hot pot ingredients was placed in the middle. The person sitting in the center stared intently at the ingredients cooking under their chopsticks in the boiling water, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although she had eaten every single ingredient on the table hundreds of times, they would always be completely restored to their original state and endlessly reborn every time she dined in her mental space. This made Jiang Hui wonder if her mental space was an unlimited gourmet space designed specifically for foodies.

To say it's limitless would be an exaggeration, because she'd tried it before and it wasn't completely unlimited. If she took the same item ten times within twenty-four hours, it might become missing. But after a while, or perhaps after a cooling-off period, it would reappear, leaving Jiang Hui somewhat unsure of the rules.

Are these ingredients not produced without limit? Then what is the basis for their production, or rather, what force compels them to be reborn infinitely in this spiritual space?
Jiang Hui knew she shouldn't take a completely unscientific, mystical creation too seriously. However, she couldn't help but wonder: where exactly was the limit of this space?

Forget it, let's not think about it now, let's eat first. Eating, eating, eating... Jiang Hui was already tired of this feeling of extreme hunger.

She didn't bother cleaning up after eating and drinking her fill, because everything would be back to normal tomorrow, without a trace of cooking smell. But for now, she probably still had a slight odor in the space.

The feeling of being starving to death has completely subsided.

Holding a pot of hot milk tea, Jiang Hui was still pondering where this sudden feeling of hunger came from.

Surely it couldn't be because I was starving from running today?!
Hmm? It seems... it might actually be true, because when she thought back on what happened today, besides the medical examination, the only other thing she did was run.

However, after the test, she was clearly in a normal state, and her subsequent running was also quite normal. She even ran nearly nineteen kilometers, which overturned her perception of her physical strength.

Aside from briefly losing consciousness, she showed no abnormalities until she went to the cafeteria for lunch, only feeling a little hungry, but this hunger subsided after eating two meals. So it couldn't be that this feeling of hunger from not eating was carried over into the dream world and amplified; that doesn't make sense… If it wasn't hunger from reality, could it be mental hunger? Mental energy?

But that doesn't make sense either. If she was expending so much mental energy during testing or running—almost to the point of starvation in her mental space—how come she didn't show any abnormalities all day? Instead, she walked and ran normally, went to dinner, and even managed to get herself back to her dorm to sleep.

I really don't understand; her hunger in the mental realm seemed to come without any warning.

The hunger of the spiritual realm... hunger...

Suddenly, Jiang Hui seemed to have a flash of inspiration, but in the end, she couldn't grasp anything.

She thought about it for a long time, but the jumbled thoughts only made her more flustered and frustrated, and her sense of powerlessness intensified.

Jiang Hui looked at the motionless screen, which seemed to be playing dead, and had no choice but to give up and turn back to her study. She had slept for quite a long time in the mental space today, and she only had six hours left before waking up, so she should leave some time for studying.

It's really strange, but since coming to the interstellar world, she feels her desire to learn has been amplified to an incredible degree. In the past, she hadn't really enjoyed learning this much… Now, absorbing knowledge has become almost instinctive—giving her an extraordinary strength.

The next day

Jiang Hui left the dormitory a little earlier than Chen Guang.

It was not yet six o'clock, and the simulated night sky had not yet been removed. The entire planet was naturally shrouded in darkness, a scene where nothing had yet awakened.

After yesterday's extreme running, Jiang Hui should have been unable to get up today. Her body hadn't undergone much training; her physique was only average at level D, and her stamina was even lower at level F, the second to last. She was a typical beginner with very little training.

But after a strange adjustment in the mental space and a few hours of rest in reality, she had recovered by the time she went out, though her muscles and bones still felt slightly sore.

To allow enough time for a hearty breakfast, she left her dormitory before nightfall and headed to the canteen.

It was indeed too early, because she hadn't seen many senior students along the way. Even the few she did see seemed to be senior students on night shift, and they all looked at her with a slightly strange gaze.

Jiang Hui probably thought it was because her training uniform clearly told people that she was a freshman.

The girl shrugged and continued jogging towards the cafeteria, unaware that the person she passed was staring wide-eyed at her retreating figure.

"Wow...Are all the junior girls these days this amazing? They still have such spirit and drive after their first training session. When will I be able to do that?"

Jiang Hui: ...Because of the cheat code!
