The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 118 Guess
Well, one shouldn't be completely useless. Even if you're going to be a lazy bum, you should at least be a slightly useful one. This is Jiang Hui's most basic quality as a corporate slave.

Therefore, she silently accepted the extra training and "exploitation" from the Stark instructors and adapted to it even better.

And the results were actually quite good. The evidence is that after a whole day of training, she still had the energy to get up from the ground and go to the canteen to find something to eat.

After packing her things, Jiang Hui walked alone towards the canteen.

It wasn't that she didn't want to find companions. It was just that she wondered if it was because she was getting old, and she'd almost forgotten how to make friends. Besides, she was facing a group of real children, and it seemed like they just couldn't really have fun together.

Children's likes and dislikes are often fleeting, a momentary impulse that quickly fades away.

It's been more than half a month since school started. We've been training together morning and evening. So many things have happened. Even if we can't find like-minded friends among so many peers, it's still easy to find a few temporary partners to team up with.

Although we've only just met and aren't really close, that's how it is between strangers—they test each other, get to know each other, and then decide whether to become friends or enemies. This is also the first thing an individual faces when entering a new group.

However, even within a group, there is a small minority who neither seek like-minded friends nor fit in well, mostly interacting alone and not being very familiar with their classmates. Such people exist; Clarence is one, and Jiang Hui is another.

Although the former is a loner, he is exceptionally talented, comes from a good family, and is also outstanding in appearance. Such a person would naturally attract others wherever he goes. Many in the class want to be friends with this handsome and exceptionally talented classmate, but he doesn't seem particularly interested in such things.

Jiang Hui, on the other hand, is completely detached. It's not that she's intentionally detached; Jiang Hui used to be quite sociable when she worked on Blue Star. Now, it's the change in environment and a sense of incompatibility that has led to this feeling of separation.

In addition, the training tasks on her shoulders became increasingly heavy. Just dealing with these tasks and training every day took up a lot of her time and energy. She had no time to make friends, so she could only continue in this state.

Therefore, even after more than half a month of school, Jiang Hui has always been alone and hasn't gotten to know even one or two classmates she's somewhat familiar with. So when someone called her name from behind, she didn't react immediately.

"Jiang!"

Huh? Jiang Hui was a little confused and subconsciously looked toward the incessantly calling voice, only to see a face that was somewhat unexpected.

Isn't this Hillman, the classmate who helped her carry the instructor back a few days ago? Of course, the two people next to her also look somewhat familiar, seemingly... perhaps they are her classmates.

Hmm, this combination is a bit strange.

However, seeing that Jiang Hui, the "revolutionary teammate" with whom he had shared joys and sorrows not long ago, was not as happy as others had imagined, he simply stopped in his tracks, turned his head to the side and then to the side, quietly looking at Hillman, waiting for the other party to explain his purpose.

Hillman didn't seem to mind Jiang Hui's somewhat unenthusiastic demeanor at all, because in his memory, she had always been this aloof since he met her. Anyone who didn't know her would definitely think she was unapproachable. But after what happened that day, he knew better than anyone that her true feelings were not what she outwardly displayed.

Hillman felt that this student, Jiang, possessed an unparalleled quality of reliability and trustworthiness.

He had intended to go and check on the other person after they fainted that day. However, his family arrived quickly and dragged him away from school before he could even get a clear answer. Hillman was then caught up in endless tests by his family doctor, completely unable to deal with the mess left at school.

And what awaited him was his father's wrath. His father had discovered that he had secretly brought a gripper to school and had recklessly operated it without any experience. Both of these actions crossed his father's red lines, and Hillman was, of course, severely reprimanded and given a brutal beating.

If it weren't for the fact that military training wasn't over yet and the doctor had given him special medicine, Hillman felt he might have been lying there until the end of training. There was no way he would be here, lively and energetic, talking to Jiang Hui.

As soon as training ended today, he couldn't wait to go to the next class to find Jiang.

Hillman politely thanked the two people who had helped him with the directions, and then rushed over to talk to Jiang Hui, completely unaware of the sudden change in expression on their faces as he walked away without hesitation.

Jiang Hui saw it and felt a headache coming on. Although she hadn't quite figured out the other party's tactics, she already felt it was getting tricky, and it seemed that she had... accidentally gotten herself into trouble.

Clearly, in Hillman's mind, he and Jiang Hui had gone through life-and-death adventures together and were good friends, so he naturally had to get to know them better.

Jiang Hui: ...She really doesn't think so, we're not that close!
Unfortunately, she was ultimately "outmatched" and was practically dragged towards the cafeteria by a friendly person. When she left, she looked both helpless and somewhat powerless.

The two people who had been completely left behind by Hillman didn't look so good, and they exchanged a deep look.

The slightly taller, long-faced boy sneered coldly, "It seems our efforts to curry favor have only benefited others. This young master of the Hillman family is incredibly rude. I thought he was different from those other aristocratic scions, that he was well-mannered, but it turns out they're all birds of a feather." He completely disregarded everyone else.

"Hey, that's a bit harsh. I actually think he has a pretty good temper. Besides, he already said he wanted to date Jiang Hui from our class, so it's not like he's asking for a wedding dress or anything. Karl, you don't need to worry about it too much." The other person was a bit dismissive, but looking at the two of them, who seemed to have a good relationship, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"I knew this Jiang Hui must come from an unusual background. Look at the people she knows, one is Clarence, and the other is the young master of the Hillman family. Could she also be a member of some family? But these pure Chinese-Korean bloodlines are too low-key and hard to investigate."

"I said you underestimated this Jiang's abilities, and you didn't even mention it. I think there's also that..." Captain Stark. Aren't they all secretly going easy on her?

Therefore, these scions of powerful families have no concept of fairness; they are nothing more than a group of parasites relying on their family's power.
