The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 238 Generals and Soldiers (Part 2)
And Clarence, who seems to be in a frustrating situation right now, has also demonstrated extremely strong combat skills... and he is not his student either.

Damn it, it's the first class, the second class, even the command department, even the logistics department, but they just don't get to the third class.

Although the Lava siblings were also good, there were many promising talents in the class. Seeing these outstanding talents, Lynch was also eager to try them out.

If he had known Captain Stark had declined the offer to join Squad One, he would have risked going head-to-head with that young master Zou Yi to try and snatch Squad One. Squad One had Hodge, Shore, Mu Kun… Sigh, he really wished he had known sooner.

"What are they doing? Why are they tying people up?" Second Lieutenant Fang from the Seventh Platoon asked curiously.

"They're probably afraid of revealing their whereabouts. Although the overall leaderboard is only updated once a player reaches one star, if you look closely, you'll find that the team status and personal information are updated in real time," said Lieutenant Zapp from Squad 5.

Other people's coordinates are visible on the map because they've already entered the area of ​​the main energy block. Those who haven't entered, while avoiding immediate detection, also can't determine their approximate location. To find out, someone has to go inside.

The group was arguing about this just now.

Huan Xian proposed splitting up without hesitation. The general idea was that he would use L3, the main energy charging block, as a target to mislead the others, making them think that Jiang Hui was also nearby. And because he was ranked high, those people would definitely come to him if they couldn't find Jiang Hui, at which point he could use a trick to escape.

This will give everyone more time and more choices.

Jiang Hui disagreed; she immediately saw that Huan Xian wanted her to lure the danger away. Holly and the others wouldn't misunderstand so easily; if they couldn't find her, they'd likely attack Huan Xian first.

So this person casually tells everyone to split up and act, but once he succeeds in luring them into a trap, he will definitely provoke Holly and his group, thus creating more opportunities for Jiang Hui.

During their journey together, Jiang Hui had already realized that this person wasn't taking the competition seriously at all, unlike the others who came with a desire to win. So he probably thought this was a reasonable way to help Jiang Hui, and naturally, he did it without hesitation.

This seems reasonable at first glance—Hwan Heon, who didn't want to compete, used himself as bait to help Jiang Hui, who wanted to win, to victory, and it seemed that no one's interests were greatly harmed. However, Jiang Hui firmly believed that this was wrong, a huge mistake.

She felt that such ideas and concepts were not worth promoting and were wrong.

Even if a team sometimes makes sacrifices to maximize its own interests, those sacrifices should be for the benefit of everyone and for the common glory – only such sacrifices are valuable and meaningful.

So, is there a common interest among everyone in this matter? In fact, it seems... only her interests were taken into consideration.

Jiang Hui cannot accept something simply because it benefits her and the other party is indifferent.

Rather than sacrificing her teammates' interests for victory, Jiang Hui preferred to unite everyone's strength and win honorably. Even if they lost, she would be happy and at peace. She felt that since she had formed this team with everyone, she should be responsible for each and every one of them.

Perhaps she didn't crave absolute victory as much as she thought she did.

Moreover, Jiang Hui felt from the bottom of his heart that Huan Xian's mindset needed to change. Perhaps he really didn't care about victory and had no interest in the competition, but that was no reason for him to sacrifice himself for the sake of others' peace of mind.

If Jiang Hui accepts this special "help," then his values ​​will become entrenched. Huan Xian may then become accustomed to such "self-sacrifice," even to exchanging himself for victory—regardless of whose victory it is.

Why treat yourself like this? He's not a tool.

He's a human being. Even though Jiang Hui was just a student who hadn't even taken any formal classes and didn't know much about soldiers, she was clear that collective honor should never be something that could be obtained in this way.

Huan Xian should cherish himself more and trust them more, believing that it is not only by sacrificing himself that he can be accepted by the group.

Having already sensed Huan Xian's slight self-abandonment, Jiang Hui instinctively and forcefully rejected his proposal. The two had never argued before, having worked together for so long, but this time neither was willing to back down.

Thanks to Clarence's appearance, their current problem was solved.

The group quickly packed up and fled with their newly "snatched" teammates, heading towards point L11.

— Approximately eight stars' worth of time have passed since the total energy block arrived at the training ground.

Some participants are located at energy points with low charging limits, and their charging is already close to halfway through. These people are expected to emerge soon to find another total charging energy block, so Jiang Hui and his team need to hurry.

Hmm... what should we do while we have the time? Of course, we should take advantage of the time to hunt down a few waves of enemies.

They ran from L3 to L11, with at least two energy points in between in a straight line, and two more on the left and right sides, for a total of four energy block points. The map marks about fifty or sixty people on these points. They can't just pretend they're blind and wander over there, can they?
These people currently show no intention of leaving the area of ​​the main energy storage block; their numbers are visible on the map. However, they are unaware that Jiang Hui and his group are heading this way, making this the perfect opportunity for a hunt.

Incidentally, a full map guide is also provided above, and the total score is only updated once an hour. It would be a shame not to take action, given this unexpected combination of favorable timing, location, and circumstances.

Given Jiang Hui and Huan Xian's personalities, they certainly wouldn't let these prey that were offered up pass by.

So they need to grab as many points as possible before the others start moving around, which is better than having a fight with Holly and his group from the start.
After all, the battlefield isn't just about brute force; sometimes strategy is even more important, isn't it?

Jiang Hui lay on Huan Xian's back, gripping a standard rifle, glancing at the map above from time to time as he analyzed the general situation on the training ground.

Suddenly, Huan Xian, who had been carrying her on his back for a long time without saying a word, asked, "Why didn't you agree back then?" His tone sounded very puzzled.

The other party didn't say why, but judging from their awkward attitude the whole way, they were probably still angry about what had just happened.

Yeah, why?

Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Hui's mind, some deep, some shallow, some random, some long and simple, but in the end, she couldn't say anything when it came to her lips... because from what standpoint could she possibly persuade them?

How does she know that what she's thinking isn't wrong?
"Because I am not your general, and you are not my soldiers." Therefore, there should be no such unequal sacrifice.

PS: Those principles should have been the normal concepts that this world and human society should have instilled in Huan Xian, but the strange experiences imposed on him caused him to lack the personality that a human being should have. Deep down, he actually felt that he existed as a weapon.

Jiang Hui wanted to offer advice but felt she wasn't qualified, because she herself wasn't entirely clear on this path. Therefore, her final words were spoken to him as a companion and friend; not as a lecture, but as an invitation to become friends.
