The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 288 Everyone gathers
During the morning theory class, Jiang Hui packed up her things, intending to head home. She had encountered a problem while studying the assembly structure yesterday, which had troubled her all night, and she'd been preoccupied with it all morning, causing her to be somewhat distracted during class. Therefore, she needed to go back and review it during the afternoon classes; otherwise, she wouldn't have a peaceful day.

Watching him grab his book and sprint a hundred meters outside, disappearing in an instant, the two classmates who had been about to talk to him said helplessly, "This Jiang student always seems so energetic, disappearing as soon as get out of class is over. He seems really busy. Looks like those who get first place are different from us."

"I bet you're thinking of borrowing someone's notes again. You've been wanting to borrow them ever since you borrowed them twice last time. You can't always rely on others like this. Can't you do it yourself? Besides, the Saipan teacher's lectures are so abstract that taking notes won't help. Let's just stick to the textbook."

"You've seen those notes with me before, how could I possibly do the same? The handwriting is so smooth, it looks like it was printed out, and the organization is so clear. No one else can achieve that level of shorthand..."

“But we can’t keep troubling others like this…” The man’s expression seemed somewhat wavering.

The person opposite raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Right, you... you actually want it too, but you're pretending not to care. I know you're shy and don't want to take advantage of others. It's okay, we can exchange something next time."

"I once heard a second-year student say that she seemed to be frequently seen in the library, so I guess she really enjoys reading. I happen to have a few books on hand, so I'll ask her if she wants any."

Jiang Hui didn't hear the relatively high praise her classmates had for her. Her mind was completely absorbed in the side-rotating shaft structure and related 3D blueprints; she was practically obsessed, and went straight to her dorm without even wanting to eat.

But sometimes, the more eager you are to do something, the more likely you are to encounter certain "resistance".

"Jiang, you're here?! I've been looking for you everywhere, come quick—" A person looked at her with surprise and then unceremoniously pulled Jiang Hui into the cafeteria not far away.

No, wait, she's going back to her dorm via the side path next to the cafeteria, not to the cafeteria itself. Her mecha...model, and the small problem with the side pivot axis, are waiting for her to fix.

However, Zhou Xiuwen, who seemed to be in a hurry to find someone, did not notice Jiang Hui's helpless expression and pushed him into the canteen.

After they escaped the crowded first floor and came to the second floor, they went to a card table on the right and found... wow, this time everyone was really there.

Huan Xian and Clarence sat side by side, one on each side, with at least one person's distance between them. Opposite them sat Hillman, who was in a casual posture. With her and Zhou Xiuwen, the five-member R186 team was complete.

But why does this scene look so strange?

Huan Xian was using his personal terminal. To his left was a huge stack of paper documents, tied high with hemp rope, with dense writing peeking out from the edges. He didn't know what they were.

Clarence was holding a small notebook, but it was unclear what he was doing.

As for Hillman, who had already started eating, his eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Xiuwen pulling Jiang Hui in, and he waved repeatedly as if afraid they wouldn't see him.

Having come this far, of course I have no choice but to join them.

Jiang Hui had no choice but to abandon his previous plan and decide to continue his research that evening. It didn't seem like a coincidence that these guys were all together; something was definitely going on.

Ever since Jiang Hui bumped into Huan Xian in the library last weekend, and the four of them had a meal together, their relationship had become much more natural. It wasn't that their cooperation and chemistry on the field were fake; it's just that they hadn't known each other for very long then. And in such a tense situation, a forced relationship couldn't compare to the friendship forged over a meal. After the meal, even the somewhat calculating Huan Xian couldn't help but move a little closer to these young friends.

Actually, they had wanted to invite Clarence out that day, since they hadn't gotten together since the match. Now that they'd already gathered four, they couldn't be missing one, right? What if he found out later?

Unfortunately, when Jiang Hui contacted Clarence, he said he wasn't in the state of Kake where the school was located, and had probably returned to the mainland. It would take several stars to get back, so he definitely wouldn't make it to their dinner party. Therefore, it was just the four of them having a meal together, and the place was the school cafeteria.

This time it was also in the cafeteria, but this time everyone was there.

Practice makes perfect. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, everyone present was already quite familiar with each other.

Jiang Hui naturally sat down between Huan Xian and Clarence, while Zhou Xiuwen sat opposite him.

Clarence nodded slightly to Jiang Hui as a greeting. Huan Xian seemed to be on the phone with someone, and Jiang Hui didn't disturb him.

Hillman, on the other hand, stopped eating and poured lake water over Jiang Hui's head: "Jiang Hui... you ran way too fast. I saw you from far away and kept calling out to you, but I only managed to catch Clarence. If I had known you would come to the cafeteria in the end, I would have just waited for you here."

No, I was trying to bypass the cafeteria and go straight back to my dorm, okay? If I hadn't gone to the library to return some books, you wouldn't have been able to catch me.

Moreover, it turns out that Hillman's ability to be so outgoing has reached such a level that he even dared to intercept Clarence's cold face, and he actually succeeded, which is truly unbelievable.

"Coming from this direction... It took you so long to get here. Did you go to the library again?" Zhou Xiuwen seemed to know her quite well.

The other person was one of only two people in the group who liked to browse the library. Jiang Hui bumped into him there several times, and he always seemed to be borrowing history books.

Jiang Hui nodded, tacitly agreeing.

Only then did Huan Xian turn his gaze away from the personal terminal. He saw the other party move a thick stack of documents beside him and place it in front of Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui: ?
"What you want," Huan Xianyi said succinctly.

Jiang Hui had previously borrowed textbooks from Huan Xian, who also recommended some related guides. She tried her best to buy electronic versions of everything she could, and noted down the ones she couldn't buy, planning to find them later. Frankly, this was much more useful than figuring it out on her own; at least it cleared up her confusion about the command role.

Seeing that the other party had brought another stack of materials, although they didn't look like textbooks, Jiang Hui naturally assumed they were textbooks or notes.

She carefully pulled out the top sheet, only to find that the entire sheet was filled with handwritten notes. The handwriting was elegant, unique, and carried a distinct personal style. It was Huan Xian's handwriting.
