The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 282 Contradictions
We've been together for so long without any conflicts, so why are we having conflicts now that we just won a battle?
It's still these two... that's rather surprising.

Jiang Hui knew Clarence. He was extremely arrogant and wouldn't even give a second glance to people he didn't like or things he didn't want to do. Although he seemed not to know Jiang Hui very well before this, everyone could imagine that Jiang Hui was already the person he was closest to in Class Two, although the definition of "close" was still open.

Jiang Hui found it hard to imagine this person arguing with another person.

Huan Xian was a more complex person. He was more mature than a teenager. When faced with problems, he would try to find solutions rather than dwell on them. He would process his excess emotions alone and rarely showed them to others.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw that these two equally mature people had suddenly had a conflict. So what was it about?
It was clear that Zhou Xiuwen, caught in the middle, looked rather exasperated. Upon seeing Jiang Hui and Hillman jump in, he rushed over as if fleeing, saying, "You're back!"

The other person sized up the two of them, then their gaze fell on Jiang Hui's legs. Their previously lighthearted expression instantly faded, and they frowned: "Your legs..."

Jiang Hui waved her hand: "It's nothing, the blood seeping out just makes it look a bit exaggerated. Hillman carried me the whole way and was very careful, so I didn't get hurt again."

Zhou Xiuwen had watched Huan Xian treat the wound earlier and noticed that it was long and deep. He estimated that even with medication, it wouldn't heal quickly and would only truly close up after external treatment. Huan Xian's technique was impeccable, but in such a rough treatment environment, some complications were inevitable. The amount of bleeding was actually within a predictable range, but it was impossible to say that it wouldn't hurt or that there was no sensation.

Zhou Xiuwen opened her mouth, but as if she remembered something, she ultimately said nothing.

The two people who seemed like adversaries had somehow ended their unsettling standoff and were now gathered together in a relatively peaceful manner.

Huan Xian came over and readily helped treat her wound. It's clear that this really requires a professional; last time she tried to treat it herself, she made some mistakes, and after walking only a short distance, her trousers were smeared with blood. It's obvious her last-minute self-study wasn't very effective, and in the end, Huan Xian had to help her.

To be honest, the children in this interstellar world are really different from those on Earth. If such a deep gash happened on Earth, they would probably have been rushed to the hospital, taken to the emergency room, given a tetanus shot for two weeks, and it might take another two or three months to heal.

However, here, although everyone also felt that the injury was not serious, they all seemed very calm.

Zhou Xiuwen even observed her wound intently, making comments about injuries to certain muscles or cartilage. Heaven knows, although she could barely bear the pain, having to examine her own bloodied and mangled muscle tissue was still a bit too much for her. She forced herself to look at it for a while, and then she started to feel a little uneasy.

The process of squeezing and scraping away the bruises was very painful, much more so than leaving the wound exposed and throbbing. However, after the treatment, the appropriate powder was applied, and the area felt much drier. It was no longer like before, when the bruises soaked through the gauze and almost grew into the wound, leaving a bloody mess.

This skill is truly amazing. If there were a corresponding first aid elective course in the future, Huan Xian probably wouldn't even need to take it to get that top score.

She'd only made it this far thanks to her opponents; once she got the prize money and rewards, she'd definitely treat these guys to a good meal. Jiang Hui thought listlessly.

"What were you talking about just now?" Jiang Hui asked directly.

After finishing disposing of the medical waste, Huan Xian, who was meticulously disinfecting, suddenly paused, then slowly continued cleaning. Zhou Xiuwen, who was sitting almost back-to-back with Jiang Hui, turned his head and looked behind the girl with a pained expression. "Jiang, why did you ask that? I've already let it go, and it seems like those two have reached an agreement. What if your question reignites their conflict now..."

He didn't want to experience that silent yet sharp confrontation again.

The two were arguing about something, or rather, they had different ideas about what to do next.

This story begins a dozen or so years ago.

Shortly after Holly and the others were eliminated, and before Jiang Hui and Hillman arrived at the trenches, Clarence suddenly suggested that he leave the team alone to spend the rest of the match.

With the outcome now decided and no one threatening them anymore, Clarence felt a renewed urge to fight back. He wasn't far behind Holly in points, and with the remaining players on the court, he still had a chance, so he wanted to leave the team and give it his all.

Unexpectedly, this provoked Huan Xian's opposition. It wasn't for any particular reason; if Clarence only wanted to chase second place, Huan Xian could understand that, and Huan Xian himself had no intention of climbing the rankings to first or second. If Clarence had that need, as teammates, they would naturally do their utmost to help him secure second place.

After all, no matter how good Holly is, he's already been eliminated, and his results are set. Clarence could still pull one down if he tries harder.

So why did the other team want to leave the team alone? Didn't they realize that their fate was tied to the entire team in this competition? If Clarence were to be seriously injured and eliminated after leaving the team, the rest of their team would also be inexplicably eliminated.

This is something they all don't want to see.

Therefore, Huan Xian felt that Clarence's trip was somewhat unnecessary, and he subtly expressed his incomprehension, using rather cryptic language.

Then, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't said anything, but this objection somehow touched Clarence's strong and sensitive pride.

He felt that Huan Xian was mocking the shot he had taken from Mu Kun not long ago. This was the only chance their R186 squad had lost to survive. Before this, even Hillman, whose overall abilities were relatively weak, had never caused the squad to lose a single point. Unexpectedly, it had fallen on Clarence himself.

Whether due to carelessness or a loss in strength, Clarence could not deny that he had lost this round again, marking his second crushing defeat since being forcibly captured by the T186 squad.

But he was clearly... clearly stronger than many others, so why was he the one who always failed in the end? This dealt a huge blow to Clarence's pride.
